This ROM is great! Got MMS working by using Textra and making some adjustment to make it Virgin Mobile.
Anyone have any insights on how to get Tethering working. I get the message "tethering started with errors. Check Log file" THe log file shows 3 fails: Configuring AP, Starting AP, ,Configuring IP Address.

the tether built in works for me. is this what your using are u using wireless tether app?
I think I'm using the built in. It comes up in my app drawer. (Yellow WiFi symbol). Version 3.2-beta2***BETA***.
It worked fine while I was on UNsensible ROM.
If this is not the Built in where is it located?
(I restored my Titanium back ups and everything worked fine, but maybe that caused a "disconnect")

ok that is not the native tether ap. for some reason i was never able to get the one u are trying to use to work with any non sense roms after ics. cm comes with its own app. go into settings, wireless & networks more, tethering and hotspot. u can also add it as a tile on the quick settings panel

Thanks. Found it and it does show up now, and connects.
BUT, my laptop can't access the internet. I'll need to check the settings some where.
U may need to change the default password on the tether app or just turn off the the security

Are there any roms or patches that will make the stock hotspot work? I am rooted.
wifi_tether_v3_1-beta5 works for me on 198_7 rooted. Set Device-Profile to 'Generic', setup method to 'Auto', I don't use encryption as I'm far enough away from neighbors not to worry. I use channel 6, 192.168.1.0/24 LAN, enable 'Routing Fix'. Comes configured with Google public DNS (8.8.8.8), works fine. Select 'Disable Wake Lock'. Works like a charm for me, 15+ Mbps down, 4+ up

BTW, this probably belongs in General, sorry Admins.
Flash a new kernel that allows the wifi tethering, i recommend Jokersax11's 1.3 or 1.4 kernel, they work amazing and you can use any wifi tether in the market

I am running home rom with 1.4 oc. I cant get thestockwifi tether to pass data. I need security. I dont want to run open.
No one has really find an interest in the stock hotspot we have to use wifi tether for now development on the photon isn't very big :/
Well there are different options on how to approach this, and it depends on which version of WirelessTether you are using. If you are using 2.0.7, your options are limited, but the 3.0 beta's are where the availability opens up on how many [Device-Profiles] you can choose from. You can reduce your output power to save battery with the older versions, but not the new ones for some reason.
Because Sprint has blocked you from downloading them, you have to sideload them. You can download it directly from google at: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ (Newest is Beta 11)
Here's what you do if you want to set it up in INFRASTRUCTURE MODE, otherwise it is defaulted as AD_Hoc:
Open up WirelessTether
Hit the *Menu* button and press Settings.
Under [Device Profile], select Google NexusOne (This is the most common profile for this mode, I've tried different ones. Most of them work)
Under [Setup Method], select Netd (master)
(If you wish to do so, select encryption and channel options.)
Scroll down and check [MSS Clamping]
Then when you press back and activate tethering, WT will hack and take over your stock Mobile Hotspot app and you will be broadcasting an Infrastructure network rather than an ADHoc one.
It is common to see "Mobile IP Response error" over and over again until your Photon finally handshakes itself into the network. Ignore it. Shouldn't take more than a minute if it doesn't do it on the first try.
Now you don't have to download any trial apps and turn this and that off... blah blah blah. You can also setup a widget to turn off tethering using this method.

When that happens, you have a Photon that needs to connect on 3G only first. Then after it's connected, you turn on 4G and let it take over the connection. It should work at that point.
Also make sure your bootloader is locked or you won't have 4G anyway.

Download the latest version here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Then place it on your SDcard and install. Make sure your phone will allow unknown sources by going to settings > application settings > and check unknown sources.
After the app installs open it up. Hit the menu soft key and select settings. In the settings, set the "Device-Profile" to Samsung Galaxy S2 and then set the "Setup-Method" to Netd (master). This will somehow enable the built-in mobile hotspot, which will give you infrastructure mode, which pretty much all computers like.
I also have MSS clamping checked. I dont have the Routing Fix checked. You can change the SSID and security settings if you want. Now, exit out of the settings and start tethering by touching the symbol in the middle of the screen. Now get on to your computer and find the network. Everything should work from there.
Good luck.
One more option
I just tried with "open garden wi-fi tether" on Stock with Jokers Higpro kernel and it works just fine.
If I remember proper when I ran the stock kernel tethering would connect but not transfer data. Kinda sound like what your problem is.

By the way, I am also stock and rooted. Running 198_7 straight up with some bloat removed and wireless tether works fine for me.
Is it possible to tether a rooted droid incredible 4g running the stock HTC Sense image that STILL has the unlimited data plan (I got the phone just before they killed it last summer)? I have a stock droid incredible 4g (Android 4.0.4) that I simply unlocked the bootloader on and installed/flashed SuperSU from TWRP. I apologize if my terminology is off as I am new to this. I have installed both WiFi Tether and FoxFi and have had no success with either program. I may be configuring something incorrectly or it may not be possible given I'm still on the unlimited data plan. I assumed that rooting my device would somehow allow Wifi Tether to bypass whatever verizon blocks on the unlimited data plans to prevent tethering. I have googled everything I can with regard to this issue and have attempted all the recommended fixes with FoxFi (rename the SSID, reboot the phone, disabled WiFi, etc...). I do not know how to configure Wifi Tether (tried the defaults and a few combinations I found on google) and have found very little to assist further with it. There are multiple device-profiles and setup-methods to choose from in addition to a bunch of other options, and am hoping someone know specifically what I can do or have a combination that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated .
Simplified Questions:
(1) Is it possible to teather on a droid inc 4g with unlimited data?
***These Questions assume '1' above is true***
(2) Can this work in FoxFi, if so, how do I configure it?
(3) Can this work in Wifi Tether, if so, how do I configure it?
(3a) In Wifi Tether, I would need it set up to do a 'hotspot' not an ad-hoc network connection, no clue how to do this...
(3b) In Wifi Tether, which device-profile and setup-method should be used?
(3c) There are a number of options in WiFi Teather, which ones should be selected?
Solved
I continued to search and try settings and figured out what worked:
(1) Phone must be rooted
(2) Download WiFi Teather
(3) In Settings -> Choose HTC Rezound (LTE/CDMA/GSM) as the 'Device-Profile'
(4) Leave the 'Setup-Method' as 'Auto', which is the default
(5) Optional: Use 'WiFi-Encryption' if you'd like
(6) Set the SSID
(7) Check the box for 'Wifi-driver reload'
(8) Ensure 'MSS clamping' is checked (was by default for me)
(9) Ensure 'Routing fix' is checked (was by default for me)
(10) Start Tethering
The above should work...
Simple, if your on a sense based ROM just use open garden https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=og.android.tether
And in settings select either generic ICS or rezound I forget its been a while but I know it works flawlessly
On cm which I am just use the built in tethering very simple
I use WiFi Tether (currently using 3.2-beta2). Works great. Fast, no drops, etc.
While I am running ViperLTE, I see no reason why it won't work with rooted stock.
In fact... I'm using it right now

I have found that signal strength/area is everything when it comes to speeds - tethering or otherwise. At work, I have intermittent 4G and my tethering speeds are so-so. I have to carefully put my phone in the right spot to get 4G, and that spot varies depending on the weather...
However, at home my signal and 4G are rock solid. 4G speeds, including tethering, are faster than my WiFi connection.

Using the above settings, I still can't get it to work. It runs and my other devices can see it and connect to it but there is no traffic.
Anybody got any ideas.
So I just got my dna. Ran moonshine, got s-off just fine. Rooted fine too and started using wifi tether with the settings posted. Worked fine... Then I installed viper rom. Using the same exact settings wifi tether started but no data would show transmitting and I couldn't connect to it on my computer. So I restored my backup of the stock rom and now tether doesn't work. I have tried a lot of settings, using the latest version from google. Any ideas?
Edit: whatever happened, seems now the wifi tether network was hidden even though I specified a name?? Otherwise I can connect now. No idea what happened.

pdanet is the best tether.
Going to give it a try. PDA net would work, then network speeds would slow to a snail's pace. I'll see if EasyTether is any better...
I think with PDA it works then slows down BC it cost

I have been noticing that on the lg g4 and now the v10 that mobile my account shows small usage of mobile data but not the actual amount I used. I might just be a mobile thing. Not quite sure but I too saw the same thing. But I also watched a week's worth of anime on my laptop via router and only was a 20mb increase in hotspot usage.

I used all the same as the stock apn except I changed to ipv4...I assume you're rooted. Did you turn off the wifi scan setting under wifi?
Yes, I'm rooted and the scanning is off. I have even emailed the developer of the app. His last response was that I need a vpn.
There must be some sneaky software tracking whether you have tethering enabled. My Hotspot Data is being used/throttled no matter if I'm behind a VPN or tethering to another Android phone.
I'm rooted, removed all of the suspicious looking system apps, and set the APN settings to what I've always used before. I'm at the point of giving up and probably just going to use another phone to tether until a stable custom ROM is released.
I used to have this problem on my old Note 4 where the WiFi Tether app was working perfectly but Tmo was still tracking my data usage. The workaround that I found was to connect to a private VPN on my laptop. I used Private Internet Access to hide my IP and then I was able to tether off my phone with Tmo no longer capturing data used. I'm not sure if it will work on my new v10 though since I haven't gotten around to rooting it yet. I think there's a free Google Chrome extension that will do that same thing and for free. I forgot the name, sorry.
On my note 3 the guide I followed said I had to change the build file in a couple spots and then it worked perfect if that helps u guys out at all I really want this but can't use a vpn bc ps4 won't allow it with online gaming and my phone all I got out here in the woods
