Q&A thread for ICS roms - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Forum to discuss the different roms available for the Xoom since we have more than one now.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned was support for adhoc phone to tablet tethering. I'm using the Eos rom, is there something I can do to make it work or does tthis require drivers that are currently unavailable?
Thanks in advance!

looking for home icon on ics browser
Does anyone know if there is a homepage icon in the new ics browser. It's not in favorites where it used to be nor on the new browser menu.

The Honeycomb Tiamat build has ad-hoc support built in. It basically involves modifying the wpa_supplicant. I didn't test it on build 6 and haven't flashed build 8 yet so I am not sure if they have modified this yet. I am sure they will eventually if they have not yet.

Regarding Zone-ICS-12.19.11-v2.1 and exchange
Howdy,
Just flashed this after wiping Dalvoc an Cache, all apps still available, as expected no cam. or 3g/4g. Question is does anybody have exchange calendar available? Syncs to gmail calendar, exchange contacts and mail sync up, but exchange calendar doesn't show in lost of available calendars. Just wondering if it' a common thing and if there is a fix yet.
Otherwise I'm going to keep running it. Calendar isn't a deal breaker for me and once a cam and mobile data works this will totally kick butt. Thanks Mike for a super build.
Post 3=7 more to fo for the dev forums..... WooHoo

Will we see the camera and mic working soon?

Thanks for the replies! I tried using tether on build 8, and just tried it on build 10 and still no luck. Any ideas? Thanks again!

My phone is a bit old (motorolla cliq), but I have tried with the wifi tether included with my rom/kernel by adlxmod and also with barnacle. Both of these worked with tiamat/morray I had previously on my Xoom. I really like the ICS builds by EOS, and if my tether would work I will never return to HC!

I guess they removed it because I don't have it either. Why they removed it?, no idea.

Tehering works with Wifi Tether
Now that Bluetooth works I can tether using wifi tether without the need for adhoc functionality. Very happy.

Notes Traveler
has somebody expeinrience with (lotus) notes traveler? Does it work with ics? I am thinking about giving ics a try
Thx for short feedback!

Does anyone know if the 1000 track playlist limit in Music/Honeycomb has been fixed? I know Gingerbread doesn't have the limitation, hoping they have fixed it in ICS.

[Q] Mobile Hotspot Disabled after OTA update on Samsung Droid Charge

I just updated over the air. Noticed that my phone performs better and more stable but I can't turn on the mobile hotspot even using third-party apps available. Elixir used to work for me just fine. Can anyone give help on this? Thanks.
unfortunately i think they somehow disabled the feature for 3rd party apps.

Will the newest version like you activate and deactivate tether multiple times or do you need to reboot between tether sessions?
Wifi Tether pre-12 let's you do it, but none of the newer versions did.

In CM9 OP, Dhiru said we can use 3rd party apps. not sure though if it was personally tested by him.
I confirm that mobile tethering isnt possible either thru wifi hotspot or usb in cm9a6. I managed to share my phone's connections via usb using EasyThether app from the market. I havent found an app for hotspot. So yeah, try a 3rd party tethering app. Worked for me...

thanks for the info hpog !!!
i will definetly try that option
wifi on kernel 2.6.35.7 it's partially broken and native tether has been disabled because some libraries problem and screw-ups by sammy, so it's a no-go until kernel 3.x arrives,

Wireless Tether on CM10 vzw

Does anyone know a way to get wifi tether to work on CM 10 for vzw gs3? I'm running the Aug 16th CM10 build. Unlocked bootloader. Can't seem to find a wireless tether app that works. I saw that the native wifi hotspot should work in CM10 on other carriers, but it's not working for me. Anyone have a solution? Thanks.
AOSP has tethering built in. It's working for me on austen dickens latest release Just turn it on in the settings

If the native hotspot isn't working try turning security off. Worked for most on older builds. Don't know if 8-16 should work with security enabled but give it a go without security.

I see it in the settings. When I turn it on there I can connect my laptop and tablets to the network, but the internet never works. Not sure what I'd be doing wrong.

I'm also running that unofficial alpha (plus.google.com/117962666888533781522/posts/QvVGczHD5TF) and the wifi tether seems to work for me. I was able to connect via my wifi-only Kindle and use the web browser. But I've been running this rom for less than a day, so only did a quick check.
Guys, the native tethering & portable hotspot found in settings works perfect.

WiFi tethering for Paranoid Android, Magic Mod, and CM10

I stumbled on this app yesterday, and it was suggested that I post it here. It's a quick easy "fix" for WiFi tethering on these ROMs. In the settings I had to tick "Skip wpa_supplicant" to get it to work, but so far so good. I hope it works for y'all.

If you go ape**** and download a bunch of data, or use it all the time, most likely they will probably catch it.

That's odd I've used barnacle in the past on other phones and it works well only I tried it on my a2 and it didn't work perhaps your using a different version?
Edit: nope same results that I got with the play store version.
Thank you though.

I don't recall having any issues with this except with my tablet detecting it after it updated to ICS. I haven't used this in a while as I have been on NUMA for over a month. I'll reinstall PA or something of the like this weekend and see if I can find an answer for you.:thumbup:

Need Help With Wifi Tethering

Hey guys, I am trying to tether wirelessly with my rooted Galaxy S3 on stock OTA Jellybean 4.1.2.
I've always used the Wifi Tether For Root Users app but it doesn't seem to be working with it.
Can anyone inform me of a fix or another app that works to tether wirelessly? Also, if you could include some of the apps settings to help me out... it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I tried WiFi Tether for Root Users, with a variety of settings and had no luck. Had to use a modified version from TrevE and it works fine now. There's a number of links for it out there and I'm not sure which is the best to point you to. You can find it via Google though

Thank you for this! I got it to work!
It still won't work when I enable wifi encryption to protect the connection for some odd reason, but works with access control enabled.
Again, thank you!
Sent from my XT912 using xda app-developers app
I never worry about needing encryption myself, so I haven't tried it. We pretty much only use it in the car, for example, so unless someone follows us around, they're not going to have much luck mooching free internet off of us. On the rare time I've turned it on in a public place, I did turn on access control.
