I have a Nokia E73 with JoikuSpot installed which tethers with my iPad Mini Retina perfectly but my Nexus 7, which is updated to Android 4.4.4 won't. What is the most recent version of Android, which will run on the Nexus 7, that will tether with an adhoc WiFi connection? Is there another method, such as Bluetooth, which can be used? My Nexus 7 is unlocked and rooted.
CyanogenMod is confirmed as a working solution with regards to this problem.

Just loaded the new CM7 nightly 63 with 2.3.5 and Netarchy's 1.3.9 cfs and my native wireless hot spot which was apparently blocked with 2.3.5 update still works.
My guess is that Netarchy didn't merge the function which blocked it in the kernel so if you are on a stock 2.3.5 rom try the kernel to see if you get it back.
why not just use wifi tether and be done with it?
Because wireless tether ( I assume that's what you mean) doesn't create a true wifi hot spot. Try connecting another android device or tablet and you'll find out. Not everything works with wireless tether.

Pretty sure. Settings shows Android Version 2.3.5, Build GRJ90 and Baseband D720SPRKE5
Here's the scenario:
Turn on phone, go to wireless settings, turn on Portable Wifi Hotspot.
Turn on wifi-only tablet. Find my wifi hotspot. Connect.
It works exactly the same now as it did before.
It may (or may not - I don't know) be worth pointing out that there is not and may never be 4G in my area and that most of the time 3G isn't functional, so this isn't a very fast connection.

I have the AT&T Nexsus S and the native tether is not working right out of the box. I know this is for Sprint you are talking about, and since I just got phone Saturday I am trying to learn all this mods and stuff, so would I able to install the CM7 nightly 63 and would I have to get the 2.3.5 or could I just leave the 2.3.4 that is installed on my Nexsus S?
Also will have to look up what NEtarchy's 1.3.9 cfs is LOL
I just got my new Nexus S 4G (Sprint) last night from eBay and it came with 2.3.4 preloaded. I just verified with a coworker who has already upgraded hers to 2.3.5 (also Sprint) and she says that the wifi hotspot feature still works for her just fine. I was going to hold off on doing the update because of this, but now I think I can safely upgrade. Yay!
I am on Bugless Pete's Stock + root and Netarchy 1.3.7 cfs... No workie. I will try 1.3.9 shortly.

Loaded netarchy 1.3.9 cfs for stock roms, cleared cache, dalvik-cache, and fix perms.. Tethering still doesn't work.
How I checked:
Start tethering, 3g data disappears within 10 seconds. Disable tethering, 3g data comes back within 10 seconds.

Since it is a feature code added to the account, and the process for enabling WiFi hotspot includes humans, I highly doubt he is telling you a lie. I also doubt that he is the only person in the world that has working WiFi hotspot on 2.3.5.
Edit for clarification:
Humans make mistakes. The appropriate feature code could have been accidentally added to his account by mistake, or tether blocking might not be working correctly in this person's area.

Mine works!
Had a stock 2.3.4 rooted, downloaded the update from google. booted into clockwork recovery and applied the .zip. When it finished it showed unlocked but had stock recovery. Used the one click root and reinstalled clockwork.
My native wireless tether allows my XooM tablet to connect. I don't subscribe to that service either...
If you're on netarchys I believe he does something to enable native tether. Oh and btw, after turning it on, it will disable 3g but wait few minutes and it will come back in white icons. Just make sure you give it some time.

I have a stock Android Nexus S 4g with 2.3.5 and wireless hotspot is working.
It came from Best Buy yesterday with 2.3.4 and I did an OTA prior to rooting it.
The only modification made to the phone has been 1clickroot.
You guys who are having issues with the native hotspot not working after 2.3.5, should look into buglesspete's flashable fix for it. It's in the 4g dev forums and even downloadable through CWM. Not sure if it's just for his rom or not.

Does someone have the current WIFI tether zip file for CM9 and CM10 on the Nexus S 4G?
Why would you need that when both of them support WiFi tethering natively ? Just go to settings under " more" it right there along with NFC & 4g options you will see tethering & portable hotspot

I have not had luck with any tethering app OR native tethering on any JB ROM.
Also, I've never used a ROM (GB, ICS, or JB) that keeps 4G when using native tethering. Only 3G (which is slower than dial-up for me)
I'd like to have a fix for this as well as I use my phone for my home internet.
I keep a backup of stock rooted ICS to switch to from JB when I get home. What a hassle...
I've seen plenty of people posting that are in my same situation.
Here is the link to the app's download page: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I have the exact same problem. I couldn't get 4G tethering to work on Gingerbread, it works great on ICS and now I'm back to not having it on JB.

I know when I use Cyanogenmod 9 and 10 and turn on the wifi tether app, it showed up as a error but when I used AOKP, it worked flawlessly.
I was just looking for the same thing earlier today! I actually believed that it wasn't possible to have a 4G wifi tether hotspot until a few days ago, because every time I'd tried it (ICS & JB), I'd be knocked down to 3G lol same thing happens with usb tethering too.
on the bright side, 4G tethering works for me on PDANet and through native bluetooth tethering (which I used to use with my macbook pro) and android wifi tether (after a tweak in the settings)
now that the free version of PDANet sucks and I sold my MBP and am back to a bluetooth-less PC, a fix or something would be great

I even tell CyanogenMod on their Facebook page that it does not work and yet they do not respond.
I have the same issue with any jb rom. Are you guys on sprint as well? I saw another post where the guy said this happens with sprint users and to use foxfi, pdanet, or easytether to get 4g tethering. This worked for me with ics roms but not jb. Whenever I try to tether with a jb rom, I lose my data connection completely.

I too was having a wifi tethering issue, although mine was worse, I was losing all data connection when I attempted to activate the hotspot, however, when I switched over to this AOSP ROM (http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...aosp-jellybean-v2-2-jro03l-8-13-12-a.html#anb) over on AndroidCentral, my wifi tether began working. It initially kicks me off 4g, but in certain parts of my home (the restroom to be specific), I can get it to kick over to tethering on 4g, but I just need to be patient. There is also a tethering fix zip somewhere in that thread, but I don't know if it'd work on either CM9 or 10.
I had this same problem on CM9 (WIFI or USB tethering didn't work). I figured out that it happened when I would flash the Trinity Kernel. If I used the kernel that came with the ROM it worked fine. Unfortunately I can't speak for the 4g because I don't live in a 4g area. Now that I've flashed CM10 I've used Air Kernel and I haven't lost my native tethering capapbility.

The question is simple. I see lots of work arounds, eg. Bluevpn, wireless tether, etc. But No one has managed to enable ad hoc on the nexus 7. So, are there any kernels or ROMs that can utilize ad hoc for tethering? I'm sure I'm not alone with this inquiry. Much love to the community. :cyclops::cyclops:

Thanks fo the post! However, I'm looking for specific ROMs or kernels. I guess I should also mention I'm using the Evita by AT&T as the hot spot and barnacle as my work around app, my nexus is rooted and running stock. Cheers!

Right now am using PPP widget with android 4.4.2. Previously, the app was not working on android 4.3 due to some issues related to this version, but it has been updated to work with the latest one.
Am using Huawei E171, which is perfect (makes you feel like you are using 3G version tab), but initially you have to follow some steps inorder to "Turn off Fake CD and SD Card" using Putty.

Is it in some way (custom rom?) possible to 'enable' bluetooth smart on the Nexus 7 2012?

I found a solution. The problem is that the hardware is Bluetooth LE/smart capable, but Google has not certified it. I have installed the app "Bluetooth LE enabler" (device rooting required), the app installs the LE drivers.
Another option (I have not confirmed) is to use Cyanogenmod 10.2+.

Yep, the app option works for me. Note that the app is relative expensive.
I don't know if the Cyanogenmod option works. I want android 4.4.4 and the lastest stable Cyanogenmod is not 4.4.4. So I have not tried.
