I've been installing and trying all the ICS based ROMs available here, but one of the features that I use almost daily isn't working reliable in any of them: WiFi tethering.
I have a red-lens Defy and everytime I install a new rom I wipe cache/dalvik/data and flash the required kernel as indicated (CM7/CM9). All the ICS based ROMs I've tried activate the WiFi tethering the first time, but subsequent activations do not work, It seems the WiFi driver hangs or something, because the only way to reactivate the tethering is by rebooting the phone.
Is there a solution to this problem? or is something that hasn't been addressed yet by ROM programmers?
FYI, my current ROM is Kang CM7.2 and tethering works everytime, smooth and easy!
Use wireless tether from the market. It's free and working with all ics builds. I'm using it too and it works very good.
And please, the next time you have a question, post it in the question/answer section.
Questions go in the Q&A section, not the Dev section

Thanks! I used Wireless Tether with some success on various roms (It hangs or doesn't work in some of them), but, I was trying to know if the inestability of the WiFi tether is from my phone or from a buggy implementation of it in the current available ICS roms.
This is the only thing keeping me from using ICS permanently in my phone.
Thanks for your answer!

I am having an issue with the wifi not working on my A500. When I got to toggle it on it says "turning on wifi" but the toggle in the settings never goes to on. I have enable wifi on in the developer app, yet still no wifi thus far...
Any ideas on how to help me fix this?
You are in the wrong place, try tegraowners forums, thors roms are banned here.
Uh.... Your best bet for support for thors (tegraowners) ROM would be the tegraowners website.. wouldn't you think?
I mean they have there own forums and support there.
Most of us here use the ROMs on this website, so when we have problems we can go to the ROMs thread, and ask for support.
Since your ROM is not here, you can try the website that it came from, go to the appropriate thread in there forums.
People can't help you here because his work is banned, and most of us don't use his ROMs, the ones who do,
Go to his website to discuss it, support ect...
Sent from my A500 using xda app-developers app
Whoops, sorry. Any good roms here that would be capable to boot backtrack through terminal?
Yes there are some very good developers here, and if you download there ROM, you can come back here to the correct thread and post bugs, or ask for support in the general forums (here).
Check out the development section, if you have questions, post here in general, or questions and answers, like if you want to ask what ROMs do everyone prefer, you could get some good advice and information about it, try Q&A for that.
Good luck and have fun!

Offhand, I would suggest you do the following.
Boot to CWM, Do your wipes on ;
1. User Data/factory reset
2. Cache
3. Dalvik Cache
Then go to Mounts and Storage and format
1. System
2. Flexrom
Then re-install the rom. Failure to follow these steps exactly, usually results in wifi issues. Also, do not restore previously backed up data from either CWM or Titanium Backup. Depending on rom version, this can also cause trouble.
Remember, it's not that we don't support people having issues running Thors rom. These are basic steps. Some people, are quick to jump the gun stating " we don't support that rom here". And it's partially true. The main issue, lies with Thor's kernel. So in essence, he cannot post his rom containing his kernel, due to GPA violations. The rest of his work is free to distribute such as the recovery. And contrary to popular belief, he "IS NOT BANNED" from XDA. He still holds an active account. So it's best not to listen to rumor spreaders as sometimes run rampant in the 500 forums.
Due to issues between Thor and XDA, it's preferable to get support for the rom at Thors site. Most people here, have no knowledge of how it works anyhow, so it's best to post on Thors site where other users can help.
Oh, and when you install a rom, make sure you have the correct bootloader version that is compatible with it
Hope this helps.

MONFRO AOSP
This is a pure AOSP rom: it has no extra features so it can be snappy and smooth at maximum level.
Indeed the goal of this rom is to be as fast as possible.
- CM10 partition layout (422mb for data)
- Devil Kernel 1.4.1 VC (new kernels with new CM vsync available as addon)
- Devil Kernel Config included (and a init.d script generated with this program, to have everything set up stable at the beginning. If you set bigmem, before reboot remember to set 480 in videocamera settings, otherwise camera app will crash with bigmem). I suggest to install also NSTools, to have more overclocking and BLN options.
- GAPPS (updated to latest) are included
- I SUGGEST A FULL WIPE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ROM, because added features from CM10, Helly Bean, AOKP and other roms can conflict with pure AOSP settings and functions
DOWNLOAD MONFRO AOSP 23.09.2012 FROM HERE
MD5: 086981af9bd829a742d2d34dd3652b81
- BATTERY MODS
- Battery % Mod CM style
- Battery % Mod Perka Newborn
- Battery Mod restore original icon
- MODS
- Devil Kernel 1.5.2 + new CM vsync
- Semaphore Kernel 2.1.2 + new CM vsync
- MODEMS/RADIO
Here you can find a lot of compatible modems/radio

I have to say thank you, because your Lanight rom showed me how fast AOSP roms are, as you can see from my enthusiastic comment of 20.09.2012.
But on Lanight 4.0 there were some glitches, for this reason i decided to work on an AOSP rom. I see that you worked to fix Lanight while i was working here: if i would have seen your new rom build, probably i wouldn't have worked on my AOSP.

Message app is from CM: it works better than AOSP one.
AOSP message let you enter messages only of 160 letters, for this reason i decided to substitute it with CM one.
cant get radio working.....
Wifi and signal are not opening. Looked around but didnt see any other radios available? Am i looking in the wrong place? (in this forum) Other than that the rom looks great, but until I can get my wifi working i cant get a full picture of what this rom will be like... I am going to do some more reading. had this problem before, but flashed a radio and everything was good. Now I cant seem to find one. Call me an idiot if you will, just need some direction on where to go from here. The website i used last time has radios for ics but not JB.
Also shell was not given SU permissions. Bad flash maybe?
Thanks in advance....

This rom uses the same layout as CM10: 422mb on fastest nand for data and the rest (slow nand) for system.
I am sorry you can't try this rom. I have read here and there about people with broken internal SD but i didn't entered in details.

I've been on xda long enough, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. If my WiFi isn't turning on, would changing the modem affect that?
My Captivate has been relegated to my backup device, almost always used on WiFi.
From what I've played with on this rom, I like it a lot. Keep up the great work!
I have had similar issues with other JB AOSP roms with CM10 base. If I understand it correctly, it is due to the datadata partition that is included with this base (data partition table messes up the Kernel or something). To my knowledge there is no work around for this. Some of the AOSP roms here (LANIGHT for example) have a nodatadata version which solves the problem.
Hope this helps!

So the problem comes from the Bluetooth kill function in devil kernel, which kills also wifi.
I suggest to disable devil idle and deep idle and to leave "enable Bluetooth " in devil kernel config app.

Hey Monfro, how is going the battery life so far ?
Okay, I been using Wifi a lot lately, and as other people.. in Aurora I been facing Wifi getting "stuck" it just grays out.. and there won't be an actual connection... so, I did research and I installed WiFix Manager
Simple Instructions
Download and install application - WiFix Manager
Give root permission
Click Advanced Configurations and enter your country code (instead of US) - Find your code here or here
Click Change Country Code
Click Check For Updates
Click Install WiFix
Restart phone and you are done
I been testing this for 3 days, I left wifi on for hours and even overnight. Before when I wake up in the morning it would always be greyed out.. now it's always nice blue reception! Let me know if this fixes it for you and if it does and we get positive feedback maybe we can convince dzo to implement this fix into his ROM.
FYI, I am using 4.1a, but I don't see why it would not work in later versions.
Wifix
I get way higher speeds in Aurora ICS 5.0 when using this app, it reminds me of the difference when i installed an Elora wifi-fix on an earlier version of Aurora.
My main problem in 5.0 is the touch screen problems, even after dzo's updates.
have you tried to replace the 1 wifi conf file for an older version?
I know that this fixed some wifi issues for many people including me. I can't remember the file name but it can be found in one the aurora thread in this section, I think.
I you want to try I can look further

I think this might be the one (refered to in Dzo's Aurora ICS for u8800 - General Discussion thread), but it has some issues. Disconnect and 3g doesn't turn on auto while out of range. If you have other tips, please tell.

Hi,
I've been working on supporting GT-I9100 for FirefoxOS with JellyBean 4.3. This is going to be the near-future for next FirefoxOS releases so thanks to the previous work done by CyanogenMod on porting this device to JB4.3, I could ported it to FirefoxOS.
I don't have "privileges" to create a new thread on i9100 development forum and announce there all the work I've done, so in the meantime I thought that someone here could be interested in testing it and helping
Right now, the only way to have an image and installing it on you device is building it by yourself, just follow these instructions: plus.google.com/117885749590235128300/posts/cH2qU1hcLEC

Hello,
I've currently no time to try compiling (and i had to uninstall my linux recently...) But I will definitely keep an eye on this thread and be happy to test when you succeed to provide a precompiled image (or when I get a little time to compile it myself)
That might be a silly question but is there any chance that it works white other aosp based rom like Paranoid Android ?
Thanks for your work !

Well, the dual boot can be extended to add other ROMs easily but it will take a lot of time to test them all so for now I'd stick with Cyanogenmod 10.2. Anyway, all my work is shared via github.com/atilag so any collaboration will be appreciated

Yes, this is a CWM installable .zip.
It is dual-boot in case you have installed CM10.2 on it. If you don't, you won't be able to dual-boot.
I wanted to reach the necessary post count to create an official thread on developers forums fot this port, so I just used this one as a preview... this is the reason cause there's no much more information about the port in this thread
Anyway, visit the link to my G+ post and you will have further instructions, I cannot post links yet, so build it yoursefl: plus.google.com/117885749590235128300/posts/cH2qU1hcLEC
What doesn't work:
* Graphic issues (some laggy)
* No mobile-data (it connects to 3G/HSDP networks but don't transmit data)
* No Camera
* No Bluetooth

Hi Juan,
First of all thanks for the effort of porting Firefox to SGS2, I have successfully installed the zip file that you have posted and I have booted into Firefox. Like you mentioned no mobile data, no camera, no bluetooth. Voice call function ok. I have not managed to connect to a wireless yet. Can you tell me how to boot into android instead of firefox? I have installed the zip on top om CM 10.2 so dual boot should work.

Hi, first of all, I opened a new ROM thread (and thus the official) for this port: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612940
If you want to boot into CM10.2, you have to use adb this way:
adb shell cr.sh 1
This will reboot the phone in this very moment, and will boot into CM10.2.
