I I just installed CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RCO-Epic last night. I have to say this is the first modded ROM that I am running and I love it.
But I cannot get Wifi Tether to work. I tried the Google version and also Barnacle. They both will run, ask for superuser, and they appear to start. But the SSID is not visible anywhere?
Is there anything out there that can fix this? Wifi Tether was working for me on the Stock Froyo (Rooted) but now wont work.....
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!
flash the latest nightly build
Check to see if your apps are saved to sd card, then move to sys memory(512MB), they should then be visible in your app drawer.......this is one possibility w/ your issue.
Also, as was suggested: reflash, could be a bad dl or bad flash.

Apps are not installed on the SD Card. Apps are visible in the app drawer.
The apps start fine and say they are running. I remember before I flashed with this ROM and using just the rooted Froyo I would get "Hotspot activated" and sort of a bullseye icon on the top. That does not happen, i only get the wifi tether icon on the top.
The build that I installed says on the first page the wifi drivers and such were fixed.
I am new to MOD'd Roms, if i install a nightly and it messes up, can i just re-install the original Modded ROM (both MTD), i konw that is a really basic question, but dont want to brick my phone.
You could also try the wifi tether that Flastnoles11 posted in the CM7 Discussin and tip sharing thread. It was about the 10th page so roughly just under post 100.

Why not use the wifi tether built into settings? That works perfectly fine for me.

ok i have the droid X and love it <33 but i installed Fission and love it more <3 but i need the 3g hotspot app because i love using it during school for the school computers >:] i need a way to install it i have the team black hat way to install it but it doesnt seem to work even when i mount the System folder i tried it without too What should i do :[?
Verizon 3g Hotspot
I copied the 3g hotspot zip from TBH after downloading and placed it onto my sandisk card root. I then bootstrapped into recovery and installed the 3g hotspot zip and rebooted. Worked for me. do not wipe anything just instal the zip.
TBH 3G Hotspot patcher has to be installed also. I copied it to the sandisk card and installed and rebooted. No need to wipe.
Wait really and you're running fission? I'm pretty sure that blurless roms such as fission and rubix cannot install the 3g hotspot app because it's missing some blur dependencies.

No its not in the market. He's talking about the plain old wireless tether. A lot of people dont understand the difference between a wireless access point, and ad hoc data transfer.
Besides the guy a few posts up, I havent found anyone that can get it to work on non-blur rom.
Good luck, and report back if you to get it to go! I havent tried it yet myself.

Apex is NOT a non-blur rom. It's framework is 2.3.15. Fission/Focused are from the Moto SDK. Please let us know if this works on an actual blurless ROM.
3g Hotspot.
My mistake.
i am really interested in finding a way to get verizons 3g hotspot to work on a blurless rom like fission. i had to sbf back to stock to use it as i really need the infastructure of it versus the ad-hoc you get from wireless tether.if anyone has any luck please post

Fission version from TBH. you still need to patch it on ur own. Use the TBH app to get the patch. File is courtesy of DroidForums dot net that they fished from TBH anyway.

I am running MikShift with 1.8 kernal with Cyan Dragon Theme.
The wireless tether works just fine with the 4g, but it doesn't work with the 3g, are there any threads or a fix or anything info on this?
I'm also having problems with this. I have thread a few post down but unfortunately we haven't found a solution.

The only problem I'm having is that devices connected to my phone via Wireless Tether get a LOT LESS speed than my phone will. Full 4G signal on my phone ~5Megs while a connected device will be pulling about 500K.

The 4G works just fine for me, I just can't get the 3G to work.
I'm having this exact same problem. I haven't been able to figurre anything out either. One this I've noticed is that if I switch to a different app, the tether will stop working until I go back to the wireless tether app itself and then the data will start to flow again.

Well it looks like newkidd might of found out the tether issue..../system/bi/sh is symlinked to bash....
he is working on a fix...but i was helping test and can say fixing the symlink and tether worked perfectly....on 3g...although i know i didn't do this fix Friday when we toyed with it so who knows what the deal was....
The hack apparently takes a lot of work to change from EVO to ours....not sure what dev is going to be able to port it....

Guys, I submitted an issue on their google code page, feel free to go comment and knock this thing up to a hot issue so they will look into it. lol
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=878
OK I'm glad to see others are having this issue.
Prior to yesterday, I was only able to tether on 4G using Wired Tether OR Wireless Tether. As of yesterday, I can no longer tether AT ALL.
I've tried flashing back to the completely stock ROM (only had root mod) that preludedrew posted and I'm still experiencing this issue. The only other thing I could possibly do is RUU and then re-root.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Is this a sprint issue or individual phone? Are some people not affected at all? I have been using the stock ROM, rooted and with bcnice's 1.8 GHz kernel since root.
I use my phone as my primary internet so this is a HUGE detriment for me and also a GARGANTUAN downside for the phone. I'm wondering if Sprint is finding a way to outsmart us...
EDIT: Azilink appears to still be working fine for tethering. Although it does take a bit more of a setup and some familiarity (marginal) with adb, it also typically performs much better as well. Brandock made a post about it in the apps forum, a search should pull it up fairly quickly.
Well with stock root wireless tether wasw working fine once I switched roms it stopped working so you do the math

NYC here.
Guess I wasted my whole day yesterday trying to figure this crap out =(
This is an issue with the ROMs not the app or anything. The symlin for /system/bin/sh is wrong....thats why when you go into terminal you see sh3.2 if you remove it and make a new symlink wireless tether will work....i can post the commands I was given that worked fine but I make no guarantees it will work or that it wont do something bad to your phone but I will give you the commands I used.
using terminal and your /system will have to be r/w
rm /system/bin/sh
ln -s /system/bin/sh0 /system/bin/sh
I'm having this problem for awhile, tried different things all end up when tethering my phone shuts off about 45min to 1h of tethering.

Settings, choose device build and select the Epic.
Also, make sure 4G radio is OFF before starting it.
I have all that selected still no luck.

this happened to me on ef02 it only worked when plugged in to a power source.
I'd suggest uninstalling that one and switching to Barnacle Tether. I recall the WiFi Tether app having technical issues that the dev couldn't get around.

open garden will work on your fascinate long as your using a touch wiz rom or any mtd rom other than ICS.

In that case go to Droidstyle's guide in general section. Find section 2 for tw roms, and follow the instructons to the letter for nitsuj's superclean rom. Its pretty much stock, then after that, find my guide on installing kernels, read through and pick one you like. I explained them a little in my first post, instructions are in the second post.

Ya that will probably get it to work, except I don't think open garden allows infrastructure tethering (which most tablets require), so stick with your WiFI tether app if that doesn't work.

I use TWRP, but you could also install it using Clockwork. You will need to get the carrier-specific ROM for your version of the G2.
