What recovery are you using?

Thank you for the zip, it works. First I tried to flash it via adb sideload but I was stuck at the boot logo. So I sideloaded the original one and flashed the modified one normally (i.e. moving the zip to the sdcard and flashed it with the latest CWM touch) and it worked.

Yes, and i think, now, that using TWRP something is going wrong, while using CWM as Recovery everything goes right.

As i dont use twrp i dont know if its a twrp Problem.

And as far ive read for most users it works with cwm.

you can put both files on the internal memory and try flashing them with cwm if sideload doesnt work.
if enable tether doesnt work just flash the stock 4.2.2 and try again.

since it works for me i cant debug the problem you are having.

I have encountered this TWRP flash bootloop randomly too. So probably something to do with it.

But it is random and didn't spend time to investigate as i just want something that works. Don't even bother to upgrade to 4.2.2 yet.

Thanks sayantandas for the apk, I can confirm this is the right framework-res.apk for Nexus 7 JOP40D as I manage to upgrade to 4.2.2 after flashing this apk.

Here I pack the apk into flashable zip, now you can revert to original stock framework-res.apk by flashing this zip again. Hope this will be useful for the community here.

No Probs. BTW, I am getting an error while flashing the radio. I have started a thread , http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38130565#post38130565, do check and updae if you know how to mitigate the error.

I need it in order to eliminate the MOD to avoid issues in occasion of future new android update

Hotspot Yes, USB No

I've seen this mentioned elsewhere on the thread but have not seen any answers. Running stock 4.2.2 plus the modified framework-res.apk on Nexus 7 3G.

Wireless hotspot works great. USB tethering does not. As others describe when clicking on USB tethering the phone re-establishes connection to Mac or Windows but the box doesn't stay clicked and no network connection becomes available. I've tried this with HorNDIS drivers. I agree with previous poster who said it didn't appear to be a driver issue since it stops working before that would come into play...

tethering and telephone icon

Maybe this can be useful to someone else. I added to the apk the mod to enable voice dialog. You can't actually use it as a cell phone, but you can configure a SIP account and call through data connection. It's most useful to me so I thought to share.
The mod source is here:

only Sip calls

flashed but when I make a call from Android System error
the thetring is ok

You can't make cell phone calls, but you can configure a SIP account and use it to call through 3g data connection, or Wi-Fi. Follow directions in the cited thread to configure the sip account.

    PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION AND ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES.

    You may have noticed that the Nexus 7 3G does not have the tethering options enabled by default.

    I couldn't live with that (that was partially the point why I got the 3G version), so have patched the framework to enable those options. Partial credits go to PaulOBrien@MoDaCo who has fixed the apktool for Android 4.2 .

    To get it to work just flash the ZIP below. It will only work on the JOP40D and JOP40C releases, and obviously only if you have a 3G device. Please do not try it on the WiFi-only Nexus 7 :) .

    Please note that it doesn't do a backup of the original framework-res.apk, so you can either make one yourself, or you can reflash the factory system image if you want to go back to stock later.

    Hi i just pulled the file decompressed it and it works for me i will aditionally put a small guide here:

    after pulling framework-res.apk and decompiling modify the following lines in /res/values/arrays.xml

    <array name="config_tether_usb_regexs" />
    <array name="config_tether_wifi_regexs" />
    <array name="config_tether_wimax_regexs" />
    <array name="config_tether_bluetooth_regexs" />
    <array name="config_tether_dhcp_range" />
    <array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app" />
    <array name="config_tether_upstream_types" />

    to

    <string-array name="config_tether_usb_regexs">
    <item>rndis\\d</item>
    </string-array>
    <string-array name="config_tether_wifi_regexs">
    <item>wlan\\d</item>
    </string-array>
    <array name="config_tether_wimax_regexs" />
    <string-array name="config_tether_bluetooth_regexs">
    <item>bnep\\d</item>
    </string-array>
    <array name="config_tether_dhcp_range" />
    <array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app" />
    <integer-array name="config_tether_upstream_types">
    <item>0</item>
    <item>1</item>
    <item>5</item>
    <item>7</item>
    </integer-array>

    recompile the framework-res.apk sign it and u are ready to go.

    Here are the links for the stock framework and the tether mod:

    Stock Framework 4.3
    Tether enabled

    U can flash them with sideload and i recommend a cache wipe after it.

    Hi Folks,

    as far i could tell there are no diferences in the stock framework-res.apk but i think i fixed the bootloop error on first install and i made a new enable tether file for jwr66y anyways hf flashing.

    Enable Tether jwr66y
