Hey Josh Beach and anyone else way more steeped in this stuff than I

I'm new to custom ROMs and I appreciate everyone on XDA for all the incredible knowledge and help!!

I flashed KitKat Killer to my new T-Mobile Samsung Note 3 and I can't get the built-in hotspot to work. My iPad sees it and accepts the password but after well over 5 minutes, nothing. When I had a Sprint Note 3 and flashed KitKat Killer, it worked great. One difference is that with the Sprint, I went through a tethering step using Bluetooth, I think. Here, I get directed to a Tether page with nothing on it.

The only relevant post I could find is this:

Sometimes it can take a few ,minutes to initialize... try changing the name of the SSID for the hotspot, also, turn off encryption.

wait for pc to ask, home, public, etc. I always choose home. then you should be good to go....

if it doesn't work., smash your PC, and hope you have warranty.

I changed the SSID, I never encrypted my phone.

Any suggestions, anyone?
Thanks!!
