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:
Be on stock ROM build JRO03C.I605VRALJB .. if you are not, it will likely hose your phone
Be rooted..
Backup /system/app/SPG.apk .. then delete it
Backup [B]/system/framework/framework-res.apk[B] 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
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.

This is the same mod, but can be applied to pretty much any stock deodexed rom

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)

I followed instructions, but when I do the second ADB commands, I get the error message: shell@android:/ $ su not found at first. I then after command 1, typed su. I then accepted superuser request on phone. I then copied text after the #, then pasted into adb. I did this for each line, then it worked. Thanks.

Yup been using this for a while now. I thought it would be cool to use the native app like the Moto guys do too, but it was much easier to just use the tether app with the right settings lol

I've used is tethering app in the past and loved it. Where do you access these settings? Once I am in the app and go to the in app settings I don't see any of these.
