Newb here, with regards to CyanogenMod. I have been on ViperX and/or CleanROM since I got the phone in April 2012. After 2 self destructing installs of the current ViperX (twice now I have rebooted and the GUI won't load, though I can use ADB to backup data and prepare for a wipe) along with general bloat of Sense I decided to finally try out Cyangenmod. Have to say, I have been BLOWN away at how damn good this ROM works!!!! Especially for not having source! Big props to the devs. Anyways... to my question.
I started out on August 1st nightly and then delta flashed to the 11th. I cannot get wireless tether to work (on both the original install and delta). Every single thing works great otherwise. I have tried both the built in AND the Wifi Tether app (
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) which I have used for a long time now. I have tried many different configurations of WiFi Tether, including the configuration I have used on Sense ROMs for the past 1.5yrs (routing fix, generic ICS/JB WLAN1, auto). I have also tried WPA2 as well as Open. It appears the device tethering will pull an IP (192.168.43.X) but has no internet access. The phone never looses connectivity (verified with a ping running). Ideas?
:Edit
Looks like there have been several updates in the past few weeks. I'll do a backup later and flash the delta to see this helps.
:update
I tried 08-18 delta update from Sunday, this did not help. The situation as I can quickly describe is:
* Built in Tether - I can connect to the hotspot from my tethered device, I get an IP, I can ping the phone gateway ip (in this case, 192.168.43.1), but I cannot connect to any Internet address. Running a tracert to 4.2.2.2 stops at 192.168.43.1 from my tethered device.
* WiFi Tether app - Using device-profile Generic ICS/JP (wlan0) or (wlan1) only works when I also use Setup-Method "Native Framework Tether". Doing that though does not use the SSID I configured, but instead creates the hotspot "TetherFallback" but does retain my WPA key. Same results as built-in.
* WiFi Tether app - All other Setup-Methods either fail to "start tethering" with a notification to check the logs OR will appear successfully start in the app, but there is never a WiFi signal for me to connect to (netd method for example does this).
* Open Garden app - Similar to the WiFi Tether app just above, or will actually crash the whole app. One of the crash error messages is "couldn't install file - /data/data/og.android.tether/bin/dnsmasq!". The app is ROOT enabled.
