So I've tried 2 different aosp roms, MiBox 1.20 and IllusionRom, and I can't seem to get wifi tethering to work on either rom. It works just fine for me on touchwiz. I tried using the hotspot built into the rom and ive tried treve mod wifi tether app and neither work.. Does anyone know how to get it to work? Thanks.

If I remember correctly, it states in the OP of both of these that this is an issue. It is an issues with most AOSP ROMs.

WiFi tether works fine if you edit build.prop with for example ROM toolbox from market and edit it and add
ro.ril.transmitpower=true
Then save and reboot and built in WiFi tether should be working fine...
If your build.prop doesn't have that line to add then add it and you should have it working right...

This is great information! I
A lot of people ask this question in AOSP threads, I will link them to this thread next time.

Have you tried yet adding
ro.ril.transmitpower=true
To your build.prop and check if the build in tether hotspot works?
Works fine for me and I always add that to get it working...I forgot were I got it from but it works

I've been trying to get wifi tether working with no luck so far.
I tried adding the ro.ril.transmitpower=true
I tried downloading a beta build of the wifi tether app (3.2 pre2)
I tried it with mms clamping and routing fix on and off.
The best i can get is i see the hotspot show up on the available networks, but when i try to connect it either gets as far as getting an IP address and then just keeps re-trying that (the app shows a device connected) or if i have encryption enabled, it doesn't seem to get past authenticating.
Some of the combinations i tried the network doesn't even show up under the list of available networks.
Can anyone offer some advice on how to get the wifi tether working? I'm using a sprint evo 4lte, with the viper rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124391
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
I'm using Liquid Smooth and have not had any issues tethering, do a back up and give it a try.

You sure its not working?? Its a adhoc connection and most tablets wont pick that up. My desktop sometimes wont either but to fix that i have to switch my wifi on the desktop off and on then it sees the connection

which rom are you using? i had that problem before when i was trying wifi tether hack apps but i download a rom that actually had the hotspot hack which allow to use the sprint hotspot and that worked like a charm.
i also suggest you to try using ( Hotspot hack ) posting on the development section.
i hope that helped
Thanks guys. I'm using stock rom. When I had my evo, it worked like a charm.

I am having the same kind of problem; wifi tether does not work. I was on rooted stock rom, then Calkulin 1.5a. On the client side, I tried Ubuntu 11.10, Window XP, both detected the ad-hoc device, but just could not establish connection. I am using the hotspot hack, which work without issue.
I'm on add ROM with sprint hot spot and it works perfectly.

Exact same problem for me to. It work on my EVO and now I have a ET4G rooted. The wifi tether stable and beta do not work.
Any ideas?
Thre developer is aware and hopefully going to fix this for our phone.

" Infrastructure mode, unlike ad-hoc mode, allows multiple devices and devices that don't support ad-hoc mode to connect to the Wi-Fi access point spawned by the app, so it's definitely something we want. I've also asked about getting infrastructure mode on the*Epic Touch 4G, which uses a newer Broadcom chipset, to which Harald replied "we will see." Fingers crossed here."

I use wireless tether from the market and works great. I know on a past phone I had to create a folder on my SD card called android.tether with a bin file in it. I don't know if that is why mine works or not.

Has anyone been able to get the wireless tether for root users app to work with aosp? The stock tethering *works,* but has very limited functionality. I emailed the dev and he told me to try the latest version, available here. http://tinyurl.com/bj9lyv
This has a lot of new features including a profile for our device, but it still doesn't work for me.
Has anyone had any luck with this?

what aosp are u using, i have all of them in the link in my sig and all the kernels. if you dl a wireless tether app on an aosp with built in free wifi tether then you will mess up the built in wifi tether and the app will not work or the built in will slow down. you would have to wipe everything and reflash it again. then try the built in wifi tether and it should work perfect. if you have any questions feel free to ask them in the link in my sig
The built in works, it just doesn't have the functionality of the wireless tether app. I really would like to have it working .. I haven't tried the above method actually, sorry haven't had time

Try enabling encryption, access control, and routing fix. That's what worked for me... Also I used an older version... I think I'm running 3.1 beta7... Oh and try reinstalling the binaries.

There are several quirks to it. One thing you might try is making sure the phone screen is on when trying to connect. On mine if it goes out before its connected, it won't work...

I never got this to work on rooted-Stock EL29, so I went to a custom ROM with a hack for wifi tethering (Calkulin's).
If you watch this video, he explains some of the differences and things you can do regarding wifi tethering.
http://youtu.be/u_bEWS517nc
The built in native Sprint hotspot app is the best, and a lot of custom ROM's include the hack for that which allows you to use that app for free. The is also a mod for it for those with a stock/rooted phone I believe.

Thanks, nice video post. Relevant wifi discussion starts at 2:57.
It WORKS!!
FIRST thanks to TrevE > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735
now how it works on the SPRINT NOTE 2
stock rooted w/ latest update PALJC
if not already then update Super-SU from the market
if not already then install busybox from the market *(open the busybox app and click install on lower left)
download the latest version of TrevE's wifi tether in the above link on the first post
open wifi tether, grant SU.....then turn on wifi tether as normal and it should be working.
edit: encryption now works with TrevE's 11-18 nightly found in above link
Thanks, I can confirm it's working on viper's test rom. I'm tethering my Transfomer Infinity, as I type this.
not works for me, says connection failed when trying to connect to the access point

If you are using a secured connection it won't work. Only open connections work for WiFi tethering.

You should search the AOKP thread to see what people are reporting. I remember some people saying it had to be set on WAP2 but a search will get you more info.
i just checked Q&A on the aokp thread and it is stated as a known bug ,, wifi tethering is not working , it says bluetooth tethering is working so I guess if we want to use tasks's rom we have to live with that. ,, who know's , maybe there will be a fix in future builds .
Awsome rom none the less!!!!!
