No one really has an answer to any of this..?
Seem like standard features for most ROMs I've used in the past few years and thought I missed something. I've never had to bump a question so much on here to get an answer.
This ROM seems awesome otherwise though, I'd hate to switch just for a few minor issues like this.
I'm also getting data drop issues while using the native tethering feature. But I think that's an issue with the Verizon Note 2 because I've had the exact issue across all TW based ROMs. I've been on Beans, CleanROM and now JediX and the native tethering is always broken; I'll connect my laptop, it will work temporarily, then I lose data connection every time my laptop tries to access the internet. Eventually the laptop will time out and I will get my 3G/4G icon back, then as soon as I try to load anything else on the laptop, I lose data connection again . It does the same thing with native USB tether too.
The best workaround I have found is to use Wireless Tether TrevE mod (google it and you'll find the apk and settings to use for it on XDA). I would much prefer to use native tethering though because I use tethering a lot sporadically at work to test VPN connections and it's a lot easier/faster to just toggle tethering in the notification bar than unlocking my phone and finding/opening Wireless Tether in order to enable it (I don't want another widget on my screens either). Also, I just want to use a simple password and the Wireless Tether app forces me to use at least 13 character, which I don't like.
Any help for this would be much appreciated!
