Anybody test WiFi tethering?

It starts and shows being active but the WiFi isn't visible to other devices.

OK so maybe this is the right place to ask. The other night I rooted my lg Optimus g e971 and everything. Installed clockwork recovery through freegee. Downloaded the latest cm 10.2 for the phone. Placed it in the phone and also downloaded Google Apps as well as a new modem. So I installed and followed the steps to add the new rom and gapps and also added the modem file as well. I followed the steps to a tee. Anyways started to boot up and suddenly got the boot loop of the two lg logos. Was wondering which route is better to get the phone back up an running. I tried for 3 hours using my hp laptop that has an amd processor. Installed all the lg drivers etc.... Tried the tiny bins way and that didn't work as the computer can't pick up my phone on any of the ports. Any idea what I should do?

I had a similar ordeal. Not quite the same but I will tell you what I did just in case it helps. My device was being recognized by my computer fine but any attempt to flash stock (to fix the boot loop) ended in lgnpst crashing.

I have Windows7x64 but even tried WinXPx32 in a vm but always the same result.

Eventually I formatted one of my Linux boxes, installed WinXP on that, and used teenybin. For whatever reason my only Windows PC would not flash to this device. Weird. I dunno.

So here's what I've done;
1) Installed Chad's cm10.2-0101 and smoocha-n4modded-0101, booted up just fine but with no camera.
2) Installed Chad's cm10.2-0101 and smoocha-geeb-0922, doesn't boot at all.
3) Restored my backup of Chad's cm10.2-0928 (I think) and smoocha-geeb-0922, works pretty well. I get the occasional kernel crash (maybe one every three days).

Just install the latest one he uploaded and you should be fine. It comes with smoocha with recent updates

what's the difference between this build and the 973 official? I'm not trying to sound like an arse...I'm genuinely interested in finding out if this or 973 official is better suited for my wife's 971. thanks guys

Ahhhh. Perhaps I'm not alone. I had to reinstall Google search after new gapps. Both voice to text methods got pooched. The one that's just called voice search is a real mess. It's installed but no button options if in find it in app store. Odd.

Chads build is based on nexus 4. It now also includes smoocha kernel. Seems to be Much smoother.

It is fast and smooth.

SCRATCH THIS-->The red led for notifications is kind of weird. It's staying on for a very long while. Then not showing for a while either. Any way to fix that?<--

Oh dudes!

you fixed bluetooth!!! how did you do it? All adapters that were not working for me in cm10.1 are working now! I had infinite ticking sound while connecting and now I don't.

The only rom that did not click for me before was aosp. Now this. WOOT!

I've looked at this :
https://github.com/TeamPlaceholder/...mmit/39e71291673aa38c6b8b536740b824d7ee7bba55

but there must be more. Seriously, what else changed in bluetooth? Your initial builds did not work properly for me.

cheers!

Latest geeb builds (since at least 1001 and up to 1003 that I have tested) crash trying to record video. This results in the phone just freezing then when rebooting the kernel crashes and upon starting up again there will be a massive battery loss. My video was set to 720P but I haven't tried any other settings.

1004 has a problem where when the screen is off, touching any of the capacitive points turns the screen back on.

    Hi, This is a continuation of the CM 10.1 nightlies thread. Things has been moving on and we are now at CM 10.2. I have been working with xboxfanj, houstonn and bbelos to bring you this. Again, this is based on mako with adapted change for optimus G. This time we are even more in sync with CAF (Code Aurora Forum).

    What is working
    Everything.

    What is not working

    You tell me.

    Here are the repo needed for our devices :

    https://github.com/TeamPlaceHolder

    Of course, you have to be rooted, to have bootloader unlocked and a working recovery to flash this custom rom.

    DO NOT FLASH NEXUS 4 KENEL MADE BY 3rd PARTY. THIS WILL MOSTLY PERMA BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

    This is simply because people tend to use partition number and not by-name and our partition is different than nexus 4 ones. i.e. The rpm partition on our phone is the boot partition on nexus 4. So flashing a custom kernel will flash a boot.img in your rpm partition and then you are bricked. You have been warned.

    Like usually, i can't be hold responsible if you damage your phone during any of the process described in this thread.

    Thanks :

    Thracky and houstonn who also works with me on this.

    Download

    All the downloads will go here :

    ribs.bbqdroid.org

    Use geeb package

    Gapps package :

    http://goo.im/gapps

    Modem :

    There is a newer modem now available (From JB update. Houstonn and I extracted each of them and made flashable so you don't need to do the painful process of kdz only to get a new baseband)

    MAKE SURE TO NOT FLASH KOREAN MODEM.

    How to intall that rom ?

    This require you to have TWRP or CWM already installed on your device. I recommand the former. On our device, this mainly mean you have rooted your phone and unlocked the bootloader.

    Apparently, it seems these instruction where not clear enough. So I'll try to make them dumbproof. If you are not following these instruction and it doesnt work, dont expect support. It's like buying a cake mix where you only need to add milk and call the company saying their product is bull****, you added water and only got a brick. To add to this metaphor, Asking if it's because you used CWM instead of twrp or reverse is like saying : Did it didnt work because i used a fork instead of a whip to mix it ?

    To flash this rom, you have to be on older Bootloader. You can alternatively flash the bootloader i linked in this thread. Read the post carefully before you flash.

    1. Download file in the download section.
    2. Put the rom AND the gapps on your internal SDCard.
    3. Reboot into recovery.
    4. Flash CM rom.
    5. Flash Gapps package.
    6. DO A FACTORY RESET (EMPHASIS HERE)
    7. reboot into system

    Is there ANY WAY you can add to this the changes in faux123's Nexus 4 kernel (see here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/36722-kernellinux-340-makojbuvoctuncifsv001-nov-30/#entry1032460) to reduce the horrible msm_hsic_host wakelock battery drain?

    You sir, deserve a punch in the face. Come on. We are not at optimizing things. I'm still trying to figure out what is working or not. This is really stupid.

    Note to all other user : I WILL NOT ACCEPT FEATURE BEFORE EVERY PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN SOLVED.

    on a related note to your question, if you would have read carefully, you would have seen that i already use faux123 kernel . . .
    Anyway, this is not going to be the case soon.
