[Q] Is there an ICS Rom with a solid working WiFi Tether connection?

I am looking for an ICS rom that has a solid working Wifi-Tether program/connection/solution?
I'm a sys admin and like to work remotely...sometimes in places where there is no net connectivity.
If anybody has a suggestion for me...I am greatly appreciative!!
Even if its not ICS, I am open to downgrade until they hopefully sort it out with CM9.
Thanks everybody!

On any ICS ROM:
1) Download Barnacle and Wifi Tether for Root Users.
2) Open Barnacle, check "skip wpa supplicant" in settings, run it, then turn it off once it's closed.
3) Run Wifi Tether and connect your device to your phone.

Thanks...I understand about barnacle and skipping the wpa supplicant...but what do I do after that, because I still cannot get it to work properly??

not sure but I think VirtuousRom's primadonna might do; they say it's alpha but I use it as a daily driver and only have to reboot once a day ;-)

The latest cyanogenmod9 alpha5 by tbalden & korneyone now natively supports the wifi tethering. I've been using it for several months and the bugs are almost non-existent (certainly unnoticeable to the majority). I think the only one that most people would notice is the lack of 1080p support (but 720p still works perfectly)! There's a few others out there, but they are mainly only in the more obscure features.

Why no Wifi Calling on ICS ROMs?

Just a quick question. Why does Wifi Calling not work on ICS ROMs running on the SGS4G? I understand it's not just a simple port from GB, but I was just wondering what has changed that makes Wifi Calling no longer work.

I think it has to do with the fact that ics and cm7 (also doesn't work for this) are in mtd format

Because there are proprietary things in the kernel that is stopping it from working. Plus the developers working on stuff currently dont feel it is a high priority.
Would you rather have wifi calling or a working ics kernel that allows overclock/undervolt? What about stuff like better battery life?
Ive said this many times you want or need wifi calling there is two options.
1 setup a bounty thread.
or
2 use something like grooveip and forward your cell to your google voice number when you need wifi calling.
erikmm is working on it but I think he hit a roadblock with some of the proprietary stuff samsung does to the kernel.
Also please for the love of android use the search feature. This has been discussed many times in several threads.

Hi, as @Shadows... said : since your using CM10, you should not have any trouble turning wifitether on. Just turn it on in settings.
FYI, if you don't want to download any apps that will definitely give you a bunch of craps, I recommend you flash this ROM :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074328
It's based on the stock ATT Jelly Bean, but WAY BETTER ! Lots of toggles, smart-stay....There is technically nothing different from the original leaked J.B, except this one is a lot better.
There is no hassle turning wifi-tether on !
If you don't want to flash this rom, download : Easy wifi tethering. It always works for me. But since its a free app, it gives you a lot of ads that will appear on your home screen.

tether no longer working on JB based roms?
Okay my wifi tether was working great on Mohans 5.0 ics rom, but now since upgrading to 6.1 JB, my wifi tether stop working! I tried using the native wifi tether under settigs..no luck.
What's going on guys?

yes 6.1 embryo, i'm using wifi tether for root app from the playstore.....when i turn on the wifi tether, my netbook sees the network, it won't connect to it, whether i set up a password or not.

[Q] Are the stock ROMs still the only option for WiFi Calling?

I assume so, but thought I'd check in. I tried searching but a lot of the posts are older.
Edit: I suppose I should note I realize there are non-stock ROMs with wifi-calling, but they'd be CM9?
Thank you.

Yep, official cm9.1 stable had and option to wifi call but i have never tried it so i dont know wether is it working

[Q] Questions about the p509 and CM 10.1

I recently upgraded my rooted p509 running 2.2.2 Froyo to cm-10.1-20130604-EXPERIMENTAL-p500-gapps.zip, and then cm-10-20130108-UNOFFICIAL-p509.zip, both CM 10.1 builds (using the oldbbfix_signed.zip patch) and noticed that the wireless tethering wasn't working on either.
I was wondering if f it was an incompatibility with CM 10.1, or if using the old baseband on the newer roms might be the reason for the loss of wifi tethering? What is the advantage to flashing a newer baseband on p509?
I've looked around and seen that a few people say the newer baseband is faster and drains less battery, but I can't seem to find anything on whether or not it affects wifi tethering functionality, as this was one of my favorite features.
If anyone has been able to get wifi tethering working on CM 10.1 with a p509, I would love to hear how.
Thanks in advance!

Sweet, thanks for the heads up. Gonna reflash the nightly 10.1 and see if it works. Searching the google play store on my phone shows that there are 3rd party apps for tethering, and also some apps for rooted androids to 'fix' tethering. Do you have one that you prefer and find to work well? Thanks in advance.

Try Easy Wifi Tethering or Wifi tether for root users

Nice, tried both and they both worked. Does native Wifi Tethering just not work for CM 10.1? Also been having problems with GPS and bluetooth, but so far I can't find any reported bugs about those not working... I've read around that GPS errors can be related to the older baseband, and bluetooth / tethering are driver / rom related... is that true?
Sorry for all the questions, thanks for the tether apps though, really excited about 10.1. Thanks in advance!

True. I've flashed a few versions of this for tests, but as of now using ICS as my daily rom.
