I'm looking for a very stable ROM to use my now deactivated EVO to run the IP Webcam software full-time. I've tried running the latest stock rooted ROM but every once in a while it hangs. Would an AOSP rom be any more stable? I only need wifi and to run this one app.
Ideally I'd like to have some kind of watchdog timer to auto reboot the phone in case it hangs.
Is there anything out there well suited for my needs?

I would suggest cm7 (aosp) based ROM. They are stable and have lower system overhead. As long as the software you are using is compatible with gingerbread everything will be fine.

Thanks for the suggestion, just installed the latest Cyanogenmod 7.2 and it's been up and running a few hours now so I'll see how it does this week.
Well it seems to have messed up after about 3 days running on CM7.2.
I think I'm just going to need some scheduled reboot/watchdog timer to keep the thing running, kind of a bummer.

Hey everyone,
Does anyone know where I can find a working link to the stock, post-OTA kernel for T-Mobile US G2's? The link here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836042) no longer works.
I'm running the stock rom with root, s-off, pershoot's kernel,but pershoot's kernel no longer supports froyo - and his past froyo kernels break my wifi tethering and sometimes my wifi altogether. Sad, but essentially my rooting process seems to have been in vain - I'm not really happy with any of the developed roms, because none of them seem to ever be working perfectly (gps not working, wifi broken, gapps impossible to install, netflix works - sometimes!, etc.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Link works fine for me on phone and computer...
Try the untouched gingerbread releases..

Link for the kernel or the link to the thread?
UPDATE:
Turns out Firefox was being weird and not displaying the page properly. I got it now, and I am running the stock kernel. It sucks that developers are only developing kernels for undeveloped platforms! Beauty and curse of this awesome site, I suppose. Thanks for your quick response.

I am running the stable version of cyanogenmod 7.1 and I've flashed earlier versions before, but for some reason none of them have ever allowed me to continue using my picture messaging. Another bit of info, I have the HTC inspire 4G and all other roms for the desire HD run fine when I flashed them.
Is this a problem with the rom or could it be because of the differences in phones?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
doubt it has anything to do with the phone try with another cm7 rom
OK, found out that with my mobile data disabled it won't work. Now that I know of a way to make it work, I have another question. Other roms allowed me to disable mobile data and it would just use it automatically when I sent pictures, any clues as to why cm7 won't work the same way?

Its the way cm shuts the data off. Most sense bases roms are set to only **** off the internet part of the apn while cm based roms diablebit all together. I mentioned it and it was stated that it was supposed to work like this.
OK, gotcha. I appreciate the info.

I am not a noob but I am totally stumped. I have an Evo 4g rooted with CM7 and I cant tether.I have never had this issue. I have always been able to terther yet on my boost design and sprint evo I cant. It connects and everything as normal but just says no internet access and I am stuck.
My set up on CM7 is the wifi tether 3.1 beta 14
Device Profile Evo 4g and routing fix which has never failed. I have done the same setup on numerous evos and it always works flawlessly with the built in hack and or the app for rooted users. I am completely stumped and have tried unistalling. Using 4 different apps and nothing. Regardless the nuilt in hack should work yet it doesnt. Is there anyone else with this issue? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks alot for your time.

What kernel did you change to that worked?

+1 I havent changed the kernel myself. I have to wait. But I too also would like to know what kernel c.robb used.
I did a little testing. My ROM is SensuASOP 1.1. The kernels I've tried are Mason-G 0.15r4, 0.14, and Tiamat 4.1. On all of them my laptop will connect, but not get an IP. I would love to stay on an AOSP ROM, but I'm gonna have to reflash to Sense just so tethering works.

It always has worked for me on a Sense ROM, just not on AOSP; CM7, Deck's Reloaded, etc. I use tethering regularly at work, so I switched over to the Shooter Sense 3.0 ROM last night and updated the kernel to Underground 0.8. No problems with tethering there.
On AOSP, my devices will connect to the wifi but not get a DHCP address. Dummy me forgot to test using a static IP before I reflashed.
FIXED!!
I found out how to get Wifi Tether working on an AOSP ROM!
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=974&q=no IP address
Use the NexusOne Device-Profile, and the netd (master) Setup-Method. Tested and working on my Evo running Deck's Reloaded. :good:

Good Job! i appreciate your effort in getting that figured out.
I have tried a number of 4.2.1 ROMS and still have yet to find one that will let me tether my laptop. I have tried the native wifi tether...and the tethering app... It used to have no issues working with my laptop on 4.1...but since I jumped to 4.2 I can't seem to get anything going here.... Is there a working wifi tether or am I SOL...

Im currently using this ROM and native wifi tether works perfectly fine. I should add that I'm on R6, 4.2( R8 is the current one which is 4.2.1) as I've had no need to update it.
Ok..as soon as I can find a R6 ROM I will give that a shot and see what gives... My laptop connects but it says "limited connectivity" ... basically no internet...
Would the kernel make a difference? If I ran a 4.2 kernel?
Works with the Paranoid Android ROM and Franco Kernel as well.
Damn...PA is a R8 release? What the hell is wrong with mine then..LOL

That's true, however for whatever reason this function was not fully functional in quite a few of the ROM's i've used in the past.

I'm using rasbean and with trinity kernel. And I can't get it to work either. Using wifi tether it gives me errors and won't show the created network. It has errors in the log creating "ap". If I try to use the builtin app it creates an "ap" and allows me to connect, but it won't actually let me to browse the Internet. This is over two rasbean roms and the stock kernel and trinity kernel. I've tried changing the device to the gsm version and I have also tried using different apps. Open garden, barnacle, etc. So I do know what else to do.
Thanks ...

I would first try flashing it clean. Wipe System/Data and Factory reset. Then before installing anything test the Native tether to see if it works. I suggest using Cyanogenmod because many ROMs are built off of it, but that is your choice. I also suggest you try connecting another device to the AP to make sure the problem is not your actual laptop. Try tethering a tablet or another phone and see if it works.
Hey Guys,
I've tried all kinds of different roms, from different versions of Liquid Smooth, Carbon, Jellybam, but one common issue i experience is WIFI tethering.
All roms except Liquid Smooth 4.1.1 RC7. I've done clean installs, even went back to stop and flash fresh, and to no avail. None of the roms let me tether other than RC7. Even with RC7, the native tether doesnt work. I'd have to use a wifi tether app which only works for rc7
So a quick summary of what ive done so far:
-All wipe steps, factory reset inclusing data and system but to no avail.
-go back to stock, root again, flash any rom, nothing.
-go back to RC7 liquid smooth rom, and the wifi tether app is the only way to get wifi tether to work.
Any recommendations on what i could try or even use another rom will be awesome.
Thanks in advance.
WiFi tether on AOKP's 4.1.2 works for perfectly. Additionally, the rom is super stable.

You can try flashing KT747 Kernel. WiFi tether states its been fixed a few days ago. May be something worth doing to see if this corrects your problem.

i was using 4.2.2 Rootbox prior to this flash. I had tried to flash over the KT747 kernel for D2ATT however it did not work it just hung the phone in a continuous boot loop. i tried to do the method with fixed permissions in TWRP also but still no luck.
However it seems like on the AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.2 )Task650 (2.23.2013) (AT&T) rom i'm running the wireless tether is an issue still for Canadian customers as per the FAQ section that's in their main Rom thread

I've had working wifi tether on my 4.2.2 rom for quite some time. Where you getting the "Wifi tethering hasnt yet been perfected on 4.2.2" information from? You have to have a ROM + Kernel that will allow it. Most AOSP roms should be up to date. If they are not then I'm not sure why.
Another plug for task's latest. Tethering works with underwear and ktoonsez kernels.
^ latest task ROM? Or just the kernel.

ROM and kernel have to support it.
I'm not Canadian nor do I have Canadian service. So I can't confirm that. But I have a ton of Canadian users and have seen no reports of it not working. So that must mean it works just fine.
