Glad that it was able to help man.

I have a different problem now, I can tether but the hot spot does not show up. I tried to doing it over and over, didn't work. I'm not sure if it's the version of the wireless tether or the files that I put into it android.tether

Anyone have a solution?

[Q] Tethering Hotspot

Anybody using AOKP made the Wifi Hotspot to work?
I don't see any error when I enable it, but cannot find the hotspot from my tablet or PC.
Thank you

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

I'm starting to think the issue is with the ROM. I cannot post the question on the ROM thread because I have less that 10 posts.

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!!!!!

Quick question are any of you trying the native hotspot (settings--->hotspot) because treve Mod doesn't work on 4.3
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

As already mentioned, TrevE wifi tether does not work on 4.3. In order to get native hot spot working you'll need to first flash the wifi fix via Odin on your pc only. You have to unzip the wifi fix zip file first then flash it using the pda button in odin. All this info is in LorJay's thread.
required for hot spot hack to work: rooted, deodexed, flash wifi fix using odin on pc, flash hotspot hack, success

WIFI Tether after ota

Has anyone had any issues with wifi tether after the 4.3 ota.
I am having one hell of a time getting it to work.
I tried everything i can think of and it refuses to work.
Get errors about not finding the binaries, gets phone in unknown state ( the only app that does it )... yes i am rooted and confirmed that i can mod system files.

I'm seeing the exact same thing. Also seeing messages like "Couldn't install file-data/data/com/googlecode.android.wifi.tether/bin..." and when trying to view the log file it also doesn't exist. Have tried several configurations and several tethering apps and can't get anything to work.

What exactly is happening when you start tethering ?
Are you getting "error" or you can start tethering but no data is transfered from your device ?
My post solves the "error" problem as described here
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62516
Other posts here indicate that in some cases tethering won't work if you don't have a plan for it.
Anyhow there is a fix for this issue too. search the forum.

Depending on what I try I either get a screen that is forever asking me to "Please wait while starting..." or I get the error like wpsantennas where it tells me "Couldn't install file-data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/bin/tether!"
It will tell me my phone is in an "unknown state" if I try to stop and restart the tethering process.

Same problem here. Tethering worked fine before update, after updating to 4.3 experiencing same problems listed above.
From what I've read, a few of the custom roms, including some sense roms, seem to have the stock mobile hotspot working. Anyone know what was changed in those to get it working?

100% stock rooted, debloated.
Im trying to get the native tether with security check bypassed.. i found the code but of course when i debloated i dont have the files, so i got to wait 3 hours to dl the rom with the file ..ugh useing th previous rom files i can get it to launch and run, and show up but going into settings crashes settings

I'm stock rooted except running ObOne kernel. Didn't think the kernel was the problem but didn't run tether on 4.3 before flashing the new kernel. When I ran into the tether problems I wasn't debloated but since then I've dumped some stuff.
Based on the error messages it seems as if the app can't write to the directory but have no clue why. Tried OpenGarden and it had the same errors.

I decided to check out the sprint forums for the one, and the exact same thing happened to them when they got 4.3 . It seems it was hit or miss with the tether apps. and it seemed that a reasonable fix was to use native tether with security bypassed. The person who modded the one tether app that we are having problems with seems to be MIA

Workaround
All,
I believe i found a viable workaround

Here's a preemptive answer to a question that's been asked countless times about this ROM- "How do I change the battery icon?"
Assuming you installed OGBatteryMod, tap on the battery icon in your status bar 3 times and you'll be presented with a list of many icons and can make your selection there.

I have been tethering for a long time and always had worked without a problem so here is the thing...
I have Nationwide 4G unlimited data plan but it doesn't allow me to tether by default so on my old phone Note II when I rooted and installed another ROM the tethering was fixed.. I don't know how.. yes yes I know that I have to switch Us.Agent.... I do switched just like I always did but it's just not working and by not working I mean it takes me to the T-Mobile page

Treve mod has a native framework tether option but you would still have to use the app to tether. I will look into it first thing in the morning. There's really no reason for it not to work right after you flash the ROM. I use treve mod but the native method also works. The only difference between your plan and mine is that I have true unlimited. That means that I have support for 2gigs of hotspot and unlimited data. The modded tethering provision.apk from TheSickness is working right out of the box for me. I can use the hotspot as much as I need.
BTW. On chrome you can change your user agent under developer tools. Look here http://www.technipages.com/google-chrome-change-user-agent-string

Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app

This is what I would try next if I was having your problem. I would save the tethering provision.apk from v4 to my SD card. Then I would flash v8 again and once it boots up I would replace the v8 tethering provision.apk with v4 and set permissions to rw- r-- r--. It's definitely worth a try. I wouldn't be surprised if it works!

OK. Download es file manager if you don't already have it and give it root access. Go to system/app and copy the tethering provision.apk and paste it somewhere where it will be easy for you to find it. Like the download folder. Then flash v8 and open es file manager go to system/app again and delete tethering provision.apk. now go to wherever you saved the v4 apk and copy it then paste it in system/app. Long press on the apk and click on properties. Then just change permissions to rw- r-- r-- and reboot. You should be able to tether now.
