You don't really need this rom to use wifi tether. Just do what I say, and you'll be fine. Google search and download WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012.apk. After you download it, you need to change settings as following otherwise it won't work(rest of other settings are up to you)

Device Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup Method: Netd-NDC (master)
Send Netd Max Client Cmd: Check
Wifi-driver reload: Check
Wifi-driver reload 2: Check
Keep Alive - Connection Checking: Check
Routing fix: Check.

I went ahead and made a video for this. Thanks a million. Works on the AT&T Note II as well

This may be a silly question but why should I do this versus using the mobile hot spot feature. Is there any additional benefit? Also someone said, a few posts back,to leave out some of the settings that were initially told to set. Is this true or not?

The benefit is that the tether app doesn't drop data connection due to the phone + verizon failing to assign new ip addresses. Data will drop completely when connecting the hot spot to computers, laptops, etc. This is just speculation but it appears to be a problem with JB because my gf's Droid dna did the same and she pays for the hot spot fee.

I've seen the Trev-E app do the same where 4g drops over and over until you toggle off and on again. .Sometimes that doesn't even help.. I've seen it where i've had to battle this issue for about 30 minutes of rebooting the phone and toggling hotspot over and over until it decides to stop dropping.

Strange. I never get a data drop when connecting other devices with mobile hotspot. I often use hotspot too, for school.

I have used this App before with my Droid X, HTC Incredible, Droid Charge... It works well and is open source (I believe) so it always gets updated. If I recall correctly, it might even be in the Market now... not sure. Anyways with my Galaxy Nexus (which my wife is using now), the native app always worked the best, so sometimes its just the hardware/software problematics. Will give the app a try though before the system change option. Thanks

Having recently come from several moto phones where it was a 3 second fix with sql lite to enable wifi tethering, I figured it should be about as easy on my new Note... false.

Haven't seen anything related yet, so I found a way to get stock/native WiFi tethering working on the GNII, on the stock rom, without the use of any market apps. Based off other methods I saw for doing the same thing on the GSIII by modifying /system/framework/framework-res.apk to not call the entitlement check app when you fire up wifi tethering.

Directions:

  1. Be on stock ROM build JRO03C.I605VRALJB .. if you are not, it will likely hose your phone
  2. Be rooted..
  3. Backup /system/app/SPG.apk .. then delete it
  4. Backup /system/framework/framework-res.apk DO NOT DELETE IT!!
    [*]Download modified framework-res.apk I have created, and copy to internal storage ( /sdcard )
    [*]Run these commands with ADB:
    Code: 
    adb shell
shell@android:/ $ su
shell@android:/ # mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock4 /system
shell@android:/ # dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
    [*]Phone will freeze/lockup/hangup because you just overwrote a open file.. so reboot it or pull battery to reset
    [*]Profit :D


I don't do this stuff everyday, so I take no responsibility if you jack your phone up, but I did this on mine, and works great.. and best part is you can stay stock without messing with crappy WiFi tether apps out there. Also worth noting is any OTA's that come down wire and that are blindly applied will ruin your day as well, so before you apply any OTA, reverse the above directions to put the stock framework-res.apk file back so that everything works.

If you guys need free wifi tether without the modding and rooting, just search in Google "foxfi apk" download it and then find a file "foxfi key" and you get free wifi tether without any modding or rooting.

took the liberty to get this setup on RALL4, and in a flashable zip.
this will take care of everything for you.
will rename SPG.apk to SPG.bak ( backup for save keeping )
and will flash the modified framework-res

NOTE

if you have any other framework-res mods this will undo them, because this is base off stock de-odex framework

I was having trouble tethering my Nexus 10 and my Nexus 7 to my GNote2. This apk with these settings has worked perfect. Thank You!

FYI, it's more stable for me setting the device type to Galaxy S3 versus Generic ICS/JB.

This was working until I did the 4.12 update. Is there a fix to this?

Does it matter if the stock ROM is odex or deodex?

Foxfi will work if you enable a pin lock screen and let it install a certificate. Then blow your pin 5 times in a row. It will ask you for your gmail account info. That removes the pin lock and keeps foxfi working.

    This worked perfectly, this has been the best tether method I've used. It doesn't drop signal like other methods I've tried. Thanks for this!
