I just did a fresh install 7.1 and my hotspot is not broadcasting to my computer any ideas?
It's not lollipop worthy yet, devs have to lollipop-it for it to work.

Before I get to the main question I want to establish what I do know/have read (correct me where I'm wrong) and what I have tried:
1. Wifi Tethering does work on ICS and up roms, but only in ad-hoc mode.
2. This means that most android devices will not scan and connect to my wifi hotspot because they do not allow ad-hoc connections.
3. In order for said android devices to tether to and connect to a wifi hotspot, the hotspot must support infrastructure mode.
4. One can be enable ad-hoc support on a device trying to connect to the hospot by hacking the wpa supplicant thing (this is where I get fuzzy) on rooted devices.
My devices:
Verizon Incredible 2 (vivow) rooted with s-off
Radio: 1.09.01.0312
Roms tested on:
TSM UKB II 1.3.1
CM10 for the inc2 (aerovan)
IC Tazz Sense 3.6 ICS
Coredroid GB 2.3.5
MIUI 2.7.27 R1 (nitsuj)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+ (p6210) non-rooted with 4.0.4 updated via KIES
Radio: Stock
Roms tested on: Stock
Laptop with Wifi Card
What I have tried:
Before I upgraded to ICS on my rooted Inc2, wifi tethering worked fine and was able to connect to my tablet and pc just fine. I was running Coredroid based on a GB 2.3.5 with a modified Sense. This led me to believe that infrastructure mode is supported on the Inc2, it is only software based. Then I initially upgraded to MIUI, and attempted to wifi tether to no avail, so I downloaded and ran the wifi tether apk from code.google.com, and attempted to run it again through a 3rd party app. Neither succeeded. I have tried this with Barnacle from the Play Market based on people's recommendations over in the developer's section and it successfully established an ad-hoc tether, which my pc picked up successfuly, but not my tablet.
I then tried this on an updated Sense (although modified) such as Tazz's and UKB's rom, and the same situation happened. This led me to believe that infrastructure support for wifi tethering isn't related to Sense (from what I understand Sense is just a Rosie apk with aesthetics and widgets only), so I went with an aosp rom such as aerovan's CM 10 (also CM 9 btw), while flashing kernels v12-14 and still no luck.
My Question:
Is there something with ICS and up roms that caused developers to remove infrastructure support from wifi tethering that their older Gingerbread cousins had? Perhaps it's something they haven't gotten around to addressing, and the forums are filled with "works for me" and "doesn't work for me" threads but nobody seems to address the ad-hoc vs infrastructure support (which leads me to believe the people who say it works are referring to ad-hoc and so forth). What can be done to move forward on this subject?
I think that's where kernel source becomes the main key factor. Dont quote me on that but that would be my best guess.
So I found a temporary fix for infrastructure mode tethering on rooted Inc 2s, and it goes back to wireless tether app I mentioned over at code.google.com. For some reason the newest beta releases don't work well with the Inc 2, but the wireless_tether_2_0_8-pre1.apk experimental build does successfully connect android devices and data streams through it.
If someone can pass this along to the devs over in the android development section that'd be great so they can take a look at the apk (assuming they didn't ) and maybe integrate it into their next rom interations.
Happy tethering!
Got my phone rooted and installed CyanogenMod version 10-20121125-NIGHTLY-toroplus. now WiFi will not connect. It will see the networks and save them, but will not connect. It will broadcast as a WiFi hotspot.
Any idea on how to get it working again?
I suggest updating to a stable release I am running the most current version with virtually no problems

I tried 4 different releases and no WiFi was the best result, so I went back to the stock ROM rooted
Tried posting in cm thread? Could be rom related

I had the same issue with many cm based roms. I switched to aokp based roms and problem with Wi-Fi has been solved. I hope you will find the right Rom for you soon

I have not been able to properly get WiFi tether app to work on AOSP roms. The thread says it's working but I've had no luck. I'm on the PacMan Rom currently. Anyone can tell me exactly which version of the WiFi tether app works on AOSP rom and what setting. Thanks.
Hello everyone,
New here, just came from N5 and using SlimKat. the WiFi hotspot/tethering does not seem to work. tried numerous other non-stock ROMs and they all seem to be having the same problem. The question, is there a non-stock - CM based ROM that has WiFI tethering working?
Thank you
Currently running stock 4.4.4 and have no had any issues so far. Recently the wifi is no longer turned on and will not find any wireless connection.
