In a serious bind with T-Mobile lying to me about buying the new Galaxy SII and enabling wireless hotspot wouldn't cost me a dime. WRONG! Wireless tether root app worked great on my friends Droid x and Droid 2, any ideas? Please post a download if it's not too much trouble.

Root the phone, install titanium backup, and go to backup/restore and go all the way till you can find thetering manager app.apk, then click on it, the click on freeze, then uninstall, after reboot the phone and now your wifi tether should work with no problems
have done this in 10 phones and all work great!!!
Kudos to those who suggested the titanium backup method. It works like a charm and I want to thank you guys for saving me an extra 15 dollars a month. Sure you can pay for things, but why should you when you don't have to
Thanks guys!

Ok I think I found a very simple method to get wifi calling on multiwindow roms.
Check if your rom has the app wificall.apk in /system/app/
Get QcustomShortcuts from market (free)
Make a shortcut to:
Package: com.movial.wificall
Class: com.movial.wificall.Settings
You now have wifi call settings on multiwindow rom
Ok so....I tried on a different rom, the required apps don exist but im making progress.
Needed apps in /system/app
wificall.apk
ip-provider.apk
IPService.apk
gba-service-TMO-Signed.apk
Need Secsettings.apk from a wificalling rom
Need some other files ( I have copies a bunch from wifi calling rom, but these are the ones I think changed things)
In framework:
gba-service-lib.jar
In etc/permissions
gba-service-lib.xml
Only thing is it tells me bad sim.

Hey Dennis,
Forgive me but I'm unclear as to whether or not you just are referring to having needed those files or whether you're asking for someone to send them out of a stock install. If it's the latter I can help. If it's the former... well then I'm just out of my depth!

You have to add them. And apparently secSettingsProvider also in /system/app. Plus some unknown items to get the sim card registering correctly.

I rooted and expected to use Wifi Tether using my stock ROM like I did with my GSII but it kept erroring when activating the wifi.. I'm not entirely sure how it works or if it would work for others but I downloaded Power Toggles on the appstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc specifically for an NFC toggle (which was worthless as it only opened the settings menu) but I happened to try out the Hotspot toggle and I noticed it just skips past the verification step and turns on the hotspot. I haven't actually tested it out yet but I did notice the AP it broadcasted showed up on my friends phone.

Use ES File Explorer, the newest one. Go to the sidebar, then the Tools menu, then Net Manager. I'm using the random APN. Go to your computer, wireles networks, click the ssid from ES File Explorer and and put in the password. Done.

I just found out an app I've had for years on android allows me to hotspot my Note 2 and my Bro's SG S4. Both are stock and NOT rooted.
The app is ES File Explorer. Look in Tools / Net Manager / Create Hot Spot
This made my day. No root or ROM. Just a free app I've used for years who's new feature rocks my world. I hope that helps.

If it just happened randomly, then it's probably on the carrier side. Call and see if they made any changes recently that could affect this. Otherwise, I'm just not sure.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I'm actually wondering if it could be T-Mobile's fault....sorta. with all of their recent changes and network upgrades, couldn't it be possible that some important things are now different, but your carrier has no idea about it as they may not have been informed? Or maybe something like this wasn't expected. It's just a guess of course, but I know the primary apn changed in markets where T-Mobile deployed LTE. Maybe other things changed too?
I know you said you tried the different apn's, but try the file linked below. Rename the current apns-conf.xml with .bak and copy this one over. It's in /system/etc/ I believe. Then reboot and see if it helps. It's all I can think to try right now. But this has only the new T-Mobile apn. All others are removed.

If you're stock, not rooted, there's not a lot you can do. Chances are it's an issue on the carrier side still. Have you tried your SIM in another device? Tried a new, or someone else's SIM?

Usually a stock sms/mms app sends via the carrier, so it goes over a secure line through their servers....or something similar to that. Hard to explain. 3rd party apps don't care about your carrier and just send over the internet, be you connected via WiFi or mobile data.

Here's a preemptive answer to a question that's been asked countless times about this ROM- "How do I change the battery icon?"
Assuming you installed OGBatteryMod, tap on the battery icon in your status bar 3 times and you'll be presented with a list of many icons and can make your selection there.

Treve mod has a native framework tether option but you would still have to use the app to tether. I will look into it first thing in the morning. There's really no reason for it not to work right after you flash the ROM. I use treve mod but the native method also works. The only difference between your plan and mine is that I have true unlimited. That means that I have support for 2gigs of hotspot and unlimited data. The modded tethering provision.apk from TheSickness is working right out of the box for me. I can use the hotspot as much as I need.
BTW. On chrome you can change your user agent under developer tools. Look here http://www.technipages.com/google-chrome-change-user-agent-string

This is what I would try next if I was having your problem. I would save the tethering provision.apk from v4 to my SD card. Then I would flash v8 again and once it boots up I would replace the v8 tethering provision.apk with v4 and set permissions to rw- r-- r--. It's definitely worth a try. I wouldn't be surprised if it works!

OK. Download es file manager if you don't already have it and give it root access. Go to system/app and copy the tethering provision.apk and paste it somewhere where it will be easy for you to find it. Like the download folder. Then flash v8 and open es file manager go to system/app again and delete tethering provision.apk. now go to wherever you saved the v4 apk and copy it then paste it in system/app. Long press on the apk and click on properties. Then just change permissions to rw- r-- r-- and reboot. You should be able to tether now.
