[Q] How-to? Make a CM11 Wi-Fi only ROM

shelgame said:

I searched, but couldn't find tips for what needs to be removed from a CM11 build to make a phone WiFi-only.

I have an old HTC Vivid I want to use as a datalogging device in my race car. It doesn't have a SIM and will never be on a 3G/4G network again. I do, however, want to be able to turn-on the WiFi hotspot feature so that I can transfer files to/from the phone using my laptop without having to plug it in; or have a WiFi router present.

I tried JellyBelly's script, but I keep getting a phone.apk FC. If I turn on airplane mode, the FC's stop. So, then I turned on WiFi. But, with WiFi turned on in airplane mode, the hotspot feature is grayed out.

So, I'd like to make a custom CM11 build for WiFi only. Is it possible? Any pointers to a how-to thread?

I suspect that maybe the Hotspot feature only works with a cellular network connection. I hope not...

That's actually what I'm using. But, that only works if there's an existing WiFi network to connect to. I also want the phone to host a WiFi hotspot/network.
