I try it...

First..
Download "Stock Framework 4.3" and "Tether enabled" ....

flash "Stock Framework 4.3"...reboot
flash "Tether enabled" ...reboot...OK

Important...
first=> flash "Stock Framework 4.3"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I tried this. Bootloop....
Help anyone?

edit: when I flash back the Stock framework it works, but after I flash Tether enabled, I'm stuck in a bootloop again.
clearing dalvik cache does not help.

edit2: okay found the issue:
DO NOT clear the dalvik cache a second time AFTER you reflashed enabletether. it will cause the bootloop.

This sucks because everytime the dalvik cache gets recreated you will get a bootloop and have to reflash the stock framework.

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, I am new to flashing thing. Can you tell me how (detailed) to flash this to my Nexus 7 3G rooted ( JWR66Y) ? What tools I need to use and what file should I edit/ modify ?

Also once this flash, should I still get OTA update from Google ? I haven't install any custom room.

Appreciate your response.

Hello,

My thought of installing the zipped by via sideload as follows. Please correct me if I am wrong. I encounter error device not found.

1. C:\Android\adb\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
015d4b100c300419 device

2. adb reboot bootloader

- (once rebooted on bootloader)
3. adb sideload Framework_43.zip
error: device not found

- my thought is after the "adb sideload Framework_43.zip" I will run "adb sideload enabletether_43"

a.) how can I remove that error?
b.) am I doing it right?
c.) do I need to clear cache? if so, what is the effect? do my data will be erase?

Do note, I am running Android 4.3 JWR66Y

thank you.

I have updated to JWR66Y and installed thethering using the same files and method as I used in POST #239.

Everything seems to work correctly.

JWR66Y update contains new framework-res.apk
To install JWR66Y you must have stock framework-res.apk because install script check md5 sum of current file before install new.

Ok., again what I did:
1) Update Nexus to JWR66Y stock (I think it think it doesn't matter which way).
2) flash "Stock Framework 4.3" (using "old" version) ...reboot
3) flash "Tether enabled" (using "old" version) ...reboot...OK

"old" versions are the "old" 4.3 files posted by Matteo 88 in POST #206

System is running now with JWR66Y and tethering enabled.

Me too, but I prefer (for the moment) tethering enabled and (maybe) old framework to new framework without tethering enabled ;)
Do you know if there is even a difference in "new" Framework of JWR66Y compared to first Version of 4.3?

    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.

    4.2.1 (JOP40D):
