Best rom or fix for wifi tethering? - HTC Sensation

Hi guys. My sensation is rooted and I am using the opengarden app to make hotspots. The thing is,it does not work all the time. My phone is rooted but the rom is stock. Is there any rom or fix that makes wifi tethering work all the time?

Most sense roms': in built wifi hotspot function is working. You could try arhd, elegancia, viper etc

ROMs are subjective, what someone else thinks is best may not suit you, so the only way to find the "best" ROM for you is to try them until you're happy.

[Q] Droid1 MIUI Tethering Problems

I cannot get wifi tethering to work on my Droid 1 when running MIUI, stock froyo, or Cyanogen. I have tried Wireless Tether on all three ROMS, I can connect to the phone, but no Internet data is transferred. I'm currently using MIUI 12.3 and found that it has a built in wifi tether that also fails. Barnacle didn't work either.
From what I can figure out this may be either a kernel issue (I never changed it from stock, but MIUI may have its own?) or a problem with how I achieved root (superoneclick). I appreciate any and all advice! Thanks!
I am curious to see what the answer is. sorry i am no help to you. but i also have a old droid that i want to mess with first before i start messing with my evo.

[Q] What are some good roms for my needs?

Hey, I've been away from the xda scene for a while, I currently using break 2.3.4(I don't remember what rom) so, what current roms are good for a T-Mobile Sensation 4G
What I need:
Wi-Fi calling must work and be stable, I live in an area will very poor service.
Needs to be smooth and stable
Preferably ICS( I know I need to flash firmware so If you could tell me which one that would be great, along with the radio)
Battery life is very important.
I usually just flash a couple roms and see what works best, but there's just to many anymore so some guidance would be greatly appreciated!
The best one that I have tried is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663665
This is the Elegancia rom (Android 4, Sense 3.6) that has Beats Audio, WiFi Calling & Bluetooth Dialing Working.
I cant stress how many ROMs I tried but none of them seemed to be able to make WiFi Calling & Bluetooth Dialing work together. It was always one or the other. This is the Only ROM I have tried that had both working perfectly.
I also run the Faux kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216197) and find exceptional battery life, CPU runs much cooler, and clocked at 1.73 GHz.
Thanks! I'll be sure to try it out!
Also to clarify, there are a few different Elegancia ROMs that work with the phone. I have tested them all and on the TMOUS 4G, they dont all work as well. The one I linked to was based off of the Official TMobile release whereas the other ones are based off of the European release.
Follow up...
So I spoke too soon... Looks like the programming that TMobile uses to monitor WiFi Hotspot use is still in place on the TMobile version of the Elegancia ROM.
MAJOR bummer.

I think it'll happen on each Rom since it checks the user agent string from your browser since its sent through the network. If you really want hotspot then use a third party app

Virtuous inquisition for me. haven't had any issues. Elegancia would be my go to were it not for that hideous blue stock color and cheesy icons. If you can deal with that then go for those roms assuming you're into sense

I use HyperNonSense 2.7. Just have to add wi-fi calling from one of the addon packs. It works just fine for me. I have not tried using the hotspot function, so I can't comment on that. However, with this rom and Bricked 1.1 kernel, I get great battery life with a stable and streamlined rom. Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but good luck in your search for the combination that works for you.
ARHD is working perfectly for me.
Try Ordroid 7.1.1, its stabel and wifi hotspot app works. Also wifi calling works flawlessly... I get great battery use as well...
Give us some more info, are into Sense, AOSP. I've run just about every ROM currently available. I've started a battery test thread, it's in my sig. Just to give people an idea.
If you want Sense 4 - OrDroid is a great ROM.
If you want Sense 3.6 - Elegancia Phoenix if you like strongly themed. LeeDroid has great performance. ARHD if you prefer a stock look but strongly modded for performance.
If you want AOSP - I haven't run many because I am spoiled with HTCs keyboard, but OpenSensation, HyperNonSense. If you want strongly themed, AOKP Eye Candy.
If you like AOSP but prefer to keep the HTC Framework, SmartDroid Lilith or Virtuous Inquisition (I think this is a Sense base.)
And then if you like AOSP but like the performance of a Sense ROM, you can go with Shniz's ICS Theme located in 'Themes and Apps'.
For Wi-Fi calling you can install the latest TMoUS working. There is a thread for it. For the Wi-Fi Hotspot - there is a working third party app.
And of course, there are many kernels available - once you find a ROM you like, I say give a few a try and decide which you like best.
All the above is my opinion.
It stills comes down to user preference. You'll just have to give a few a try and determine which one you prefer.
Sense 4 ROMs are all ports from the HTC One series so expect some bugs. But if you want one, go Ordroid. That ROM is heavily maintained and fixed on.
ARHD is as stock as you can find them. But its mostly the structure of the ROM that is modified, not the appearance.
But you need WIFI calling.. Try ARHD.
Just try a few dozen roms yourself, then you can get the real picture! Happy Flashing

[Q] A Quick Kernal Question

Know that we have a kernal source would that mean that Wifi Tether on the AOSP roms will be close to working or is there much more to the issue, I want to go sense free or miui but i use Wifi tether everyday due to not having a permanant internet location and a unlimited data plan
HTC has been pretty restrictive on Kernels. I haven't tested Wifi Tether on AOSP, but I don't think we're too far from getting custom Kernels soon enough

Ordroid 9.0.0

Does ordroid 9.0.0 have working WiFi calling and WiFi hotspot.

As far as I know, for wifi tether, it only works using 3rd party APP (can't remember the name, it had a yellow icon, and it was provided in older versions of the rom), but it does not work with stock feature.
In fact, I think it doesn't work in any of the sense 4 available roms out there. I guess it's something ruu base related (remember back of those days when bluetooth wasn't working, and in the meantime it got fixed).
wifi calling related, I cannot tell, as it is not an available feature in my country (only via skype, and the like).
ordroid has working wifi but if you want tethering you need wifi tether app confirmed working, just get the settings correct. IM using akop eye candy now, same tethering app is still working. If you need help with the settings let me know il help. I was running o rdroid before aokp so I know it works. hope this helps. The app worked in 4 out of 5 roms. Only ROM it did not work on was imagination.
Its a free at in the playstore . simply called wifi tether. Its a God send!

Ordriod 9.0.0 tether reply
Im currently using the Ordroid rom 9.0.0 and its flawless as far as butter goes , the hotspot problem
for most is big for me i personally dont like it anymore because i have a SIMPLE mobile sim running on T-mobiles towers
and i used hotspot for about 4 days when i recieved an email that i violated the terms and conditions of the data part of the contract
because i was using a program that appeard to be running my data memory therfore i was left in the dark with no internet for 3 weeks so wifi
hotspot not an option for me just be careful and read you service providers terms before turning on your hot spot

Maybe try the ViperS ROM. That's a new ROM, and shnizlon (the creator of ordroid ROM) joined the development. As I know, the ordroid project is finished.

They solved the wifi tethering problem, and you can update the ROM via OTA.

[Q] UCLL3 Native Tethering

OK, I know I've asked this before, but NO ONE will give me a clear answer!
I am using the second i727 JB leak and want native tethering. SQLITE does not work and neither does ULTRACFG. I read and get different answers on this. I *KNOW* it can be done.
PLEASE dont tell me to use FoxFi or Embryo. No disrespect, I am PERFECTLY happy with using the leak and do not want anything else.
What do I need to do to get this working? If other JB roms can enable wifi tethering, Why cant I enable it in the leak?
Thanks!
I don't believe native wifi tethering even works on Mohans 6.x ROMs, reason why I'm still on his 5.x rom, for wifi tethering, anybody?

I'm using native tethering since EMBRYO 6.0 came out. No problems with it. How can it be more clear than this?
Yup
That is the very *first* Mod I do, as it is *required* for me ..and it should work flawlessly and reliably...
To answer OP's question, if you do not want to do the Mod yourself in the leak (it is little bit involved, if you need to do it cleanly), just pay for it dude and it will work fine that way too..
