NEED HELP WITH WIFI TETHER! Please read details below :) Thnx

Despite my low number of posts, I am not new here. Long time reader/lurker :D

Just thought I would give a shout out to the devs for all of their hard work on this rom. I am very pleased with it to say the least. Minimal bugs and problems I have found so far. Just came off of Liberty2 v0.9 which had many bugs for me and got worse the longer I ran it.

-WIFI TETHER ISSUE-

Only thing that bugs me about this new rom is that I can't seem to get WiFi tethering to work anymore. I tried the WugPacked All-in-one patch, which I had been using on Liberty2 v0.9, but it doesn't seem to work now. Is there something I am missing? When I first set it up on 0.9 there was a thread that explained how to set it up to work but I can't seem to find it again. Something about after installing the WugPacked patch you needed to change some settings in the WiFi Tether app to get it to work properly. Where I seem to run into a roadblock is when you open WiFi Tether app and click to start tethering, Superuser is asking for permission to allow/deny. It always crashes Superuser and makes it force close. Is there some way around this? Can I manually add the Tether app to the Superuser list of allowed root access? I know once you open an app and Superuser pops up asking to allow/deny, it will save that setting from then on and not ask every time. Is there a way to manually add the WiFi Tether app into the list of allowed apps so I can skip this pop up that seems to keep crashing SU? I desperatley need to get Tether back working again. Or if there is something I am missing or and easier method, please feel free to elaborate. Thanks in advance for the help.

Something else I would like to post here for help to anyone hoping to install this rom. Like I said, I was on Liberty2 v0.9 before. It was complete hell trying to get it to install. Took me nearly 4 days to get there because my phone kept bricking. I think I finally figured out where the problem lies.

One major issues I had was that ClockWorkMod Recovery would come up after every boot. Doesn't sound like a major issue right? Well when you need to restart your phone in a hurry, you have to go through CWM every time. It gets better... How about if you are plugged into power with the phone off? Usually the phone goes to a battery charging screen, no? NOPE. CWM comes up 1st and you have to reboot the phone to get to the charging screen. And since the phone will not charge while in CWM, it produces some very aggravating results when you plugged in your dead phone and come back 4hrs later expecting it to be charged.

So if you are booted in android and need to reboot while plugged in and charging... you get: Booted > Reboot > CWM > Reboot > Charging screen > Reboot > CWM > Reboot > Booted.

Takes like 4mins to reboot from in the OS to get back in the OS. Not fun.

So what makes CWM come up after every boot? I think it has something to do with a conflict between the CWM Recovery and the stock Recovery menus. When CWM is starting on every boot, the stock recovery refused to work. You could get it to boot the stock recovery, but it shows the little triangle error icon.

I think it has something to do with the .602 sbf file. Everytime I sbf to the .602, I get the CWM error and other things not working properly. I had lots of issues on Liberty2, too many to list. So if you plan on installing Liberty3, I suggest these steps for best results.

BACKUP EVERYTHING! If recommend My Backup Root by Reware (android market) and Titanium Backup

If you have CWM installed, boot into CWM and wipe data, cache and dalvik (if no CWM installed, use the stock recovery to do these steps)

SBF to 2.3.340

Let phone boot and activate the phone. No need to set up google accounts or anything else.

From the home screen click menu button/Settings/About Phone/System Updates and let the phone find the recent .605 software.

Download and install the .605 and activate your phone like you normally would (Google account too)

Go to the Android Market and download the Droid2 Bootstrap by Koush.

Before you open it, you need to root your phone using the Droid3 one click root process. (Please google it as I don't have a link)

Follow the instructions for the root exactly so you don't miss anything.

Now you are rooted and need to install the Droid2 Bootstrap.

Open it up and click "Allow" on the Superuser pop up. Now you see 2 buttons. Click the "Bootstrap" button.

Should pop up a notification saying "Success".

(Make sure you have the Liberty3 v2.0 on your sdcard at this time)

Now you can click the "Recovery" button to reboot the phone into ClockWorkMod Recovery.

Now in CWM you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik before installing Liberty3.

Install Liberty3 and wipe data, cache and dalvik again after it finishes before you leave CWM.

Liberty3 v2.0 should boot fine now and not give you any problems :) I hope :D

I am not sure why wiping the data, cache, and dalvik before and after the Liberty3 install helps (as it shouldn't matter), but it seemed to clear up installation issues I was having. Like Boot Looping and other odd things.

I highly recommend not using the .602 sbf file as it seems to be missing some files that the .340 sbf has. And yes I downloaded, redownloaded, downloaded the .602 from many places and get the same errors every time. The install method I mentioned above took me like 1hr if you already have all the files on your computer.

Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same problems I was having.
