I have put the latest vegan rom (I think its 5.1) and I'm not sure if its accesing the gps in the unit, it worked when I had cm 7 but now it doesn't, is there a fix for it?
Also, does tikl require an actual phone radio to work? When I open it pops up if unsupported country code

There is no GPS in the Gtab. Some ROMs will get a location from your wifi node, but many do not. You can use a bluetooth GPS and the Blue GPS APP. Search there are several threads.
Oh ok that makes sense, what exactly does the g sensor do?
g sensor is an accelerometer used to sense angular movement of tablet
I seem to be getting some gps from cyanmod 7 just in case you want to try it, just make sure you wipe data/reset, then wipe cache and load the rom then the gapps at the same time one after another then let the rom load, seems to work for me.

You are getting WiFi location services in CM7, not GPS signal.

No, tetherGPS works on Vegan 5.1 as I use it frequently. In that case it's not the ROM that is giving you GPS it's tetherGPS (which doesn't need bluetooth connectivity for GPS anyway).
CM7 offers WiFi location services so you get a similar to GPS feature though not nearly as accurate and not always available (depending on the WiFi network you are attaching too).
Well for some reason I have to connect both wifi and bluetooth to my iphone while using cyanmod 7 to get real time gps. I tried tetherGPS on Vegan 5.1 and it never worked? How did you get it to work specifically? Please explain your process because just downloading the app on Vegan is not only what it takes as it never worked for me? Thank you!

Motorola Droid. Droid is runing TetherGPS in server mode and Gtablet (VEGAn 5.1.1) was running TetherGPS in client mode.
Phone and Tablet were on same WiFi network (or Tablet was tethered to Phone if no WiFi network available).
Darn it, is there a gps service apk similar for the iphone that you know of?

added to the root thread post, thanks for the info bro.
This has worked consistently for me since install.
It also seems to not need any sort of special install procedure, you can just drop the apk and install from astro or whatever file manager you use.

You actually don't need a file manager to install just download it from your slide and it will ask if you want to install after it is done loading to your memory card.(Of course you need ROOT and su permission) Thanks!

Huh? The wifi tether app creates an access point that any wifi-capable device can connect to. And as [most, if not all] Android handsets have wifi capabilities they should be able to join that access point to snag the wireless connection.

Yeah I've tried tethering on my own MT3GS and connecting to it via my sister's MT3GS and the network doesn't show up.
thanks for checking. I hope they find away to do it on ours soon.
Ok, when I try to install while on my phone it says there is a problem parsing the package... ?
NM, it was the wrong APK that had the same name, just ._ at the beginning that I was trying.
By the way, thanks for the app (OP and peeps who made it).
On my MT3GS it is working great! Also running the Teamslide Nonsense ROM, just put the apk on the sdcard and installed.
I'm on OSX and it doesn't actually show up as a network, it shows up as a p2p connection. Not sure if that would make a difference for people that might be having trouble, but basically if you get the app installed and the tether started, it might just be computer settings.

You can always find the most recent version of Android Wifi Tether at: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether. The most current version is 2.0.5-pre8 as of this post. Use that, not the one in this thread's original post!

Has anyone else noticed the wifi tether breaking on eugenes rc6 and teamslide1.71 after flashing the dopio kernel? Cyanogen rc1 seems to reboot on all. It seems like all ROMs that have modified kernel's have caused wifi tether to not work. I am running CR's Full OTA with wifi tether working. After flashing any dopio kernel the thether no longer works (I have tried 2_0_5 pre3, 7 and 8).
I just updated my girlfriend's 3G Slide to the latest CM build (6.0.0) and Wifi Tether is causing reboots for her as well. My Google-fu is wearing thin.
I tried the built in USB tethering as well and regardless of the driver I use once USB tethering is turned on it can't find the driver.
Not sure if it's connected.
Same driver issue is happening with PDANet, on 2 laptops. One running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, the other running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
This big issue is with WifiTether rebooting the phone. Hopefully someone can come up with a fix for it.
(I've also tried every version of WifiTether as well, happens with each version no matter what.)
I have an iPhone 4 running 4.3.1 and jailbroken and have downloaded MyWi. But, even though I was able to get the data to come from the iPhone, when I took it on the road Google Maps did not update my location.
am I doing something wrong? Should I use a different app for directions (CoPilot seems cheap, but latest posts say it is broken now).
Thanks

Hello XDA Developers,
I have an HTC thunderbolt, I'm running Cm7.1, the newest release that came out yesterday. My issue is that wifi or USB tethering do not work. Whether I connect usb tethering and enable the feature from the phone, or enable wifi tethering and connect through my laptop, the network connects, but then says no internet access and/or limited or no connectivity. My laptop connects to wifi internet fine.
I've had this problem for every iteration of CM7 for thunderbolt since June. Before moving to CM7, i remember trying tethering once or twice and it did not work. I've just decided now to try and get tethering working.
I've tried using the wi-fi tether app from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list as well as barnacle wifi tether, both have the same problem.
My main questions would be:
1. Is there any reason I have overlooked as to why tethering does not work on my phone? Is there some new verizon block to tethering for root users? Are there any settings I could try to get this working?
2. Are there any known issues with CM7 and thunderbolt tethering?
3. It seems weird if it was a hardware issue since my laptop does actually connect to the phone, it just has no network connectivity.
Thanks!
I had a similar issue and fixed it by downloading the open garden wifi tethering app https://market.android.com/details?id=og.android.tether and changing the network to open on that app as well as the built in cm7 app. Then enable both apps and it should connect. Did for me.

Newest release came out about 20 minutes prior to your post CM7.1.1...check the rootz thread.
I've seen reports of this before. If memory recalls correctly, the devices weren't acquiring an IP correctly. Once you have it tethered, on the laptop/device try releasing and renewing your IP or disabling/enabling the adapter.
You are not the only person having this problem. I'm having this problem too and have not found a fix for it yet. I've found a pattern though, any ROM that I've loaded that was a build or based off of CM7, had the tethering problem. And as stated above, the problem about not acquiring and ip correctly is exactly what's happening.
Hopefully a dev or someone else can come along help resolve this problem. Apparently this problem is not very widespread as it seems that very few peeple have this problem.
Thank you everyone for your help.
keith.mcintyre26, I tried your suggestion of open garden wifi app, and it worked perfectly, just installed it and it worked. CM7 wifi tether still does not work though.

I just got onto this ROM, after being on BAMF Forever, forever, and LOVE IT. My only complaint and possibly a show-stopper -- Wi-Fi Tether doesn't work, and neither does the built-in tether app.
I've done a complete wipe. The client connects, but doesn't DHCP.

Quick update -- Open Garden works...
Strange... But I guess I'm all set
I had/have the same problem with cm7 and bamf1.86. I finally got cm7 tether last night using barnacle, but it was at .3 mbs. I have yet to top 1mbs. That was with 4g(or so it said.) I have tried the included wifi tether, usb tether, barnacle, and open garden. Nothing works properly on either rom. Signal was between -80 and at worst -90.

Seems to be a common issue across newer roms lately for wifi tether.
I got mine fixed by downloading the newest experimental build.
Once installed go into settings, Check Disable wake lock, check wifi driver reload, also check routing fix. Furthermore, make sure you select the proper device, should be the first option once you open settings.
I have noticed that ever since I rooted my Thunderbolt I cannot tether. All devices will connect to my phone(other phones, computers, xbox, etc) but they cannot open a web browser. It used to work on the hotspot ap that came with the phone. The only thing I can think of is that on the stock app, I could change the security to wpa/wpa2/wep. On this new app I cannot change, am I grasping at something that isnt there or is there something else that needs to be done?
help me pleas,e, my neighbors internet wont be there forever. , .
I've been rooted for some time and it may be coincidence but sense the last 4g outage last week my tethering has "limited access" wired or wireless. I'm using liquid 3.0.2 built in wired/wireless hotspot. wifi apps I've installed don't work either now??? Help

I noticed that the android wifi tether app states that it only works for 3G and 2G. I wonder if this is just a "canned" statement? Does anyone know, for sure, if it works for 4G tethering?
Yeah I did, neither the old or new one are getting more than limited access. Know idea what may have changed on the PC side? Nothing new or changed? Just the outrage on Verizons end last week. I'm baffled. I have tried a couple other Rome with the same results. Sucks pdanet is a third of the speed.
There's a bug with CM7 if your using it, I'm having the same problem. I have a none stock kernel with it but I can't using wifi-tether or the built in tether. Makes me want to switch to my sense ROM. :/

If you're running CM7 set your built in tethering to OPEN for security and run this version of wireless tether use the same name as the built in one and it'll work. I finally got it working a few minutes ago.

hello I'm new to all the rooting and installing custom roms I am about to buy an htc rezound but was wondering if the roms that are posted on the rezound Android Development page already come with the wifi hack or will I have to do something else to get the free wifi tether THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP
Most come with a wifi tether app, ones i know of are Nils Business Sense and Rezrom( I think Scott's Cleanrom also). It takes a couple extra steps to get working-
Change device profile to Galaxy Nexus LTE & checkmark routing fix. Enable & disable, allowing root both times.
EDIT:
Oh btw, we just got s-off, you're joining up just at the right time.

No. The wifi Tether app allows the User to bypass verizons tether charge. but if you are on a capped plan, it will still use your Data.

I've ran into an issue with it. I am on Rezrom Ex 3.4 ICS.
My issue is: With galaxy nexus LTE selected, wifi tether starts without errors, however my wifi interface starts to have issues. I installed the latest version of wifi tether, 3.1 beta 14 and using the generic ICS device profile it seems like it is going to work, however then it gives the message "Device has taken back control of wifi interface" or something to that effect. If anyone knows a fix for this I'd really like to know what to do. Dont really want to have to load a new rom just to get this working so I can tether my new nexus 7.
Anyway it seems there aren't many people having this problem (that i have found anyway) if I find a solution ill post with info.
Found thread with fixes. If your having this issue or any others try the steps here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540707

It usually isn't an apk that can be taken out. It's buried deep in the framework.
