ROM that allows free wifi hotspot on T-Mobile?

I was using AOKP 4.2 and it worked for a bit but since the 4.2.1 ROMs have launched i get a T-Mobile redirect when trying to use the hotspot feature.

A way to get around that is to use Firefox as your PC internet.
Phones don't apply tho, there UA strings show as mobile.

Piggybackign onto this thread...
I definitely would like to be able to get access to all the AT&T hotspots that come in carrier-ridden phones. I use AT&T's service so hopefully it wouldn't be a hard thing to do? I'm assuming it's not possible.

Download pdanet, WiFi tether app, or any tethering app on the play store.

Sorry to piggy back onto this topic but is it possible on AT&T if I download a tethering app such as the ones mentioned above that I could tether my nexus 10 free of charge? (As in them not cancelling my unlimited and putting me on a more expensive limited tethering plan).

Although I haven't tried it on my N4 yet. Wifi tether worked beautifully on my CDMA sprint HTC Evo 4g with a custom rom (mikg)...

Sending file through wifi direct?

How do I send files through WiFi direct? On all my other devices I can go to any file manager and choose to send via WiFi direct... This seems to be not available. Why? I feel like this a crucial method of sending large files way faster than Bluetooth.. If anyone can help me out it would be great!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

WiFi direct is a function of the OS. You have to have a program that is capable of using it. I have transferred files via WiFi direct using OfficeSuite Pro successfully.

You can download WiFi direct. It's kind of hit and miss
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

yeah thank you!
wifi direct seems like such a use full feature, why it isnt more widely implemented i do not know,
but yeah ive tried wifishoot and yeah any wifidirect apps seem to be hit n miss, plus with standard os, it doesnt help you much and doesnt seem able to send many files by standard? (gallery, image, share, no wifi direct option most of the time)?

Don't understand why that is I have a Galaxy Note 2 and I just got this nexus which I sold my Galaxy Tab for and I find it ridiculous that I can't send files through wifi direct because bluetooth is so slow and I don't have an external memory for this Nexus so it makes it so much harder now to transfer files without wifi direct. I see this as a big let down and I expect the Nexus to have this ability throughout the whole operating system. Why is wifi direct even an option in the Nexus if we can use it for anything I even connected with another phone through wifi direct and had that other phone try to send me a file on the Nexus blocks it because it says it doesn't allow media sharing. I'm a bit let down

I use an app called peerdeviceconnect. It's on the play store and links two or more devices that have the app installed. Then when you select an app to share the option of using it is shown. It has the create Wifi direct network option built into it.

Anyone tether to their PS3?

I don't think there is any different configuration to connect with PlayStation. You may check after changing the default Wi-Fi authentication protocol (WPA2)

hmm, i connected and logged in using my user and went into NBA2k13 and downloaded the updates
is that answers your question?

Are you using the built-in tethering app? Do you ever get redirects to the t-mobile upsell page when you use tethering on your computer?
For me, I can't even connect on my computer without either using Opera Browser or a UA-String change in Firefox. But I cannot do anything to make the PS3 not detect that I'm on t-mobile and block my connection. The PSN connection just "times out" because t-mo is blocking it.
Arrgghh
Edit: just saw you are in Beirut, not even on T-Mo USA I'm assuming lol. That could be why you have luck and I don't. DAMNIT!

I'd try using a 3rd party tether app. Namely the one that has its own google code page.

I have had similar issues tethering my PS3.
Carrier: T mobile 70/month unlimited plan
Phone: Nexus 4
Initially, tethering worked for all PS3 applications (PSN, browser, netflix, system update). Then, they blocked PSN activity after a month or so. A few months later they blocked browser, but I could still use netflix and do system updates. Now nothing works. I have tried to use a wifi repeater in between the PS3 and Nexus 4 but still no dice, though I did not experiment too much with settings?
Id love to get my PS3 back online.

You guys really shouldn't use your phone data's download to download updates or games. Just use it to play online. It doesn't use up bandwidth to play. Heck I can play black ops 2 for an hour with tether and I use up like 30mb an hour. If you use it for downloading you're really going to have a red flag on your account.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Not trying to download a game. Just trying to download the blimp in gta. It's only a few kb I've heard. Also pdanet didn't work for me. I'm on carbon rom on my Nexus 4 and my wife also has carbon rom on her gs3. Her phone tethers perfectly. Any other tips?

Enable tethering on LG G3 D850

Got this from the G2 thread so I take no credit. Just tried it out and it works 100% thought I'd share.
What you'll need:
Root
Root explorer (or something similar)
SQLite editor
1. Activate the hot spot initially in the user interface settings, once it rejects to turn on the hotspot.
2. In root explorer goto data>data>com.android.provider.settings>system>databases>settings.db>systen
3. Press search button then type tether
4. Tap on tether_entitlement_check_state goto the value and edit to 0. Save then reboot phone.
All done. Below is the original G2 thread so make sure to give thanks over there.

It also depends if sprint uses the hot spot provision apk (or whatever they might call it). If they do you can use xposed and x tether to get around it by freezing the provision apk with titanium back up and installing xposed frame work that the x tether module. Below is how they did it for the Galaxy S5.

It all depends on how they tether. If they use an app to verify tether then no but if it's a simple number value ran against their systems like how AT&T is then yes. If you have tibu I'd do a search in there for the word tether and see if they use an app to verify you

Hmm. There's an app called "com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui 1.0" so I'm guessing that's the verification app you spoke of.

No I don't believe that's it. I think thats part of your interface to turn hot spot on and off. Its an apk that you're looking for. They're usually have the name hotspot or tether in them.
