All Google has to do is make it possible in Android to load AOSP, or the customized oem skin. This is very simple to do. But it requires standing behind your product which Google is not willing to do. All they care about is selling more Android phones, doesn't matter if and when they get updated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Noyankees44:
Google has nothing to do with the updates to none nexus phones. They can't force Samsung to port it for the hardware or force Verizon to sent it out after they do. Your anger is completely misdirected.

The only thing Google could do about this is start locking down android with hardware and software requirements. This would kill the open source nature of the platform that I personally love...

Google doesn't sell Android phones, the carriers and phone manufacturers do. Google provides the software, so I don't think it really matters to them how many Android phones are sold. The manufacturers and carriers are the ones who stand to gain from increased phone sales, and they seem to be the main reason for delays in software updates.

These are android based phones! Imagine if iOS was open source! They be htc and samsung phones running iOS and when Apple pushes an update for the iPhone it doesnt mean that samsung and htc will update ther phones with the new iOS! Because those are iOS based phones.

Also I know back when I used to have the HTC SENSATION even though it took em awhile to release ICS for it. There was already

hundreds of rom ported from the ONE S and etc. And I wouldn't be surprise if they port sense 5.0 to it. And that is something I see different with Samsung phones is that even though it much easier to root, It seems harder to port a newer version of TW.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
There are quite a few different ROM's out there, you'd just have to look here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1672

CleamROM is the only one I've used and probably will ever use. It's super stable and debloated that's all I really need. SynergyROM is a real popular one because it has Multiwindows but I don't really care about that right now & it seems to have some bugs. You just really need to check out all the ROM's and ask questions in those particular threads.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Quacker:
For AOSP ROMs, check here. I'd recommend AOKP, CM10.1, or ParanoidAndroid. But generally I prefer Touchwiz ROMs like Synergy or CleanROM because I encountered a ton of bugs on both AOKP and CM10.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corz123:
Thanks! I guess I'm looking for a relatively bug free experience I'd avoid AOKO/CM. Just out of curiosity are they serious bugs or minor ones?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
The only bad thing about AOSP ROMS I'd the fact that all the "cool" features of our phone can't be utilized. Things like the motion actions, WiFi direct, all share, just to name a few. There are more. That's the biggest reason I haven't flashed AOSP stuff. I bought the phone, for full price, to get these Touchwiz features. Just my opinion. :)

this is to people having issues with wifi tethering for source based rom...i'll list what is needed & what needs to be done in order to have a working wifi tethering & ive tested it 150% with i9100 & other devices to ensure this trick works.

What is needed is:

Gscript lite from play market.

What needs to be done is quite simple if you follow it step by step..

Once gscript is downloaded you'll have to open the app up once and just close it there-after and reboot your phone right after that. Once you download the file below you'll need to move that to folder that'll be created after reboot which is called gscript. Move the .sh file there and then unplug device from computer. Open up gscript and press the menu button on our phone. You'll see an option to add script click that. Once done that then it'll give you option for adding a script click on load file and when you press that you'll see tetherfix.sh file in the list click that.that should bring you back to screen with file loaded and all you do is press save once done it'll show up in gscript lite list. All set and done then what you do is create a desktop shortcut to your tethering setting and this script via w/e launcher and adding shortcut to these files. So anytime you need to start up wifi tethering just run that and you're good to go and im gonna thank this to the guys in s3. Since i was there i guess i learned alot from them too. Thanks guys. And if this method works out for you all you have to do is press thanks.

I just updated my ROM last night to AOKP 4.2.2 [2.19.13]

I'm having this exact problem with Wifi Tether, it will not work for the life of me!

I've been messing around with it for the last 2 hours and cannot get it to connect to my Macbook Pro. I previously had an AOKP 2.1 ROM that I've been using for close to a year now. Wifi tether worked fine on this ROM and I used it all the time.

I was hesitant to update my ROM for this very reason. It always seems Wifi Tether has a problem no matter what ROM I update to.

Your instructions seem a little complicated to me, I'm a novice in the ROM world and I'm just trying to fix this problem.

Any idea as to what is causing Wifi Tether not to work with my laptop?

I cannot figure out why this always happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks-

your trick solved my tethering problems

Hello,

your script solved my problems of wifi tethering with my i9100 and cm10.1 nightlies after 2013-02-16 til 2013-03-14.

In this post of cm10.1 i9100 official thread i've descirbed my problems.

Running in terminal emulator your script before activating the wifi tethering solve the problem.

I've also followed the gscript way without any problem and now i'm just to click the scipt icon on my desktop in order to make tethering work.

Is there any way in order to run the script during the boot process?

Thank you again.

Andy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
I think what he's saying is to run this script with GScript just before you start up tethering.

Here's the contents of the script if anyone is interested:

iptables -A bw_FORWARD -i !lo+
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j RETURN -i rmnet+ -o wlan0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j DROP -i wlan0 -o rmnet+ -m state --state INVALID
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j RETURN -i wlan0 -o rmnet+
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j DROP
iptables -A natctrl_nat_POSTROUTING -t nat -o rmnet+ -j MASQUERADE

Probably just need to add that to an init.d script.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
CvD for the win. Just copied the script text and added it to init.d as 85wifi tether. I'm tehtered to my phone as I'm sending this. Toyes AOKP 3-14 with your 1.07c+ kernel. If you add it to the init.d for your kernel I bet people will be stoked.

Hi.

I'm running CM10.1 20130420 on a SGS II GT-I9100.

I have copy this text in a file named 85wifitether and stored it on system/etc/init.d

I have gave the same rights (owner : root, group : shell, permission rwxr-xr-x)

I have reboot my phone but I can get tethering work with my Asus TF300T as client :(

When I run 85wifitether script in console after being root (su root), I have this messages :

All you have to do is load the script directly from the gscript folder (/sdcard/gscript), and then run the script before run the tethering.

I think that the error is cause by an error in copy/paste the script in gscript in wrong way.

As GScript app need to geolocalize me and need network access, I don't installed it. So I thought that running the script by placing it in init.rd folder could work, as other users in this thread.

But now, I'm using this app above and everything is OK.

another work around instead of using gscript lite . use smanager from market and on this script set it on boot and superuser permission and viola no need to do this gscript loading and all that unless you reboot your phone then smanager would kick thiis script on / on the boot once you set it on boot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vsTerminus:
So I just wanted to pop in and say that this has worked wonders for me. I had all but given up on ever being able to use WiFi Tethering again, which has made using my TF700 a little difficult from time to time.

Anyway, SGS2 GT-i1900, here's what I did:

First, install BusyBox. It's something you should have anyway because it's so useful, so go install BusyBox if you don't already have it. You may need it to even run this script.

I took these commands from this thread and put them in a file, named "85wifitether"

#!/system/bin/sh
iptables -A bw_FORWARD -i !lo+
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j RETURN -i rmnet+ -o wlan0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j DROP -i wlan0 -o rmnet+ -m state --state INVALID
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j RETURN -i wlan0 -o rmnet+
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j DROP
iptables -A natctrl_nat_POSTROUTING -t nat -o rmnet+ -j MASQUERADE

I tried using /system/etc/init.d, but it would seem the CM kernel on my device doesn't support init.d scripts. So there are a few options:

1. You could use a script manager (like smanager) to have the script run at boot. This is probably the simplest way to go if all you want is to run this script at boot time. You can even use the free (ad-supported) version.

2. You could use an init.d emulator (like Universal init.d) which gives you init.d support at the app level. This app is free, and ad-free as well. If you think you might use init scripts for other things too, this is a good option.

3. (What I did) You can easily have a script run at boot using Tasker. While Tasker is a paid-only app, I already use it for a handful of things so for my purposes it didn't cost me anything, and I didn't have to install any additional apps.

Create a New Profile, select Event -> System -> Device Boot. Then create a New Task. Add a new action and select Script -> Run Shell. Have it run the command, "sh /sdcard/85wifitether" and check the "Use Root" box. Adjust the command to point to your script file, wherever you put it.

Now, tethering works every time! :D

Edit: BusyBox seems to offer crond and crontab. I haven't tried this myself, but you could probably just use that to schedule the script to run [MENTION=291743]reboot[/MENTION] and be done with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scubacruiser:
I've tried everything in this thread several times and the best I can get is for my laptop to connect to the tether access point, get Internet for about 20 seconds, then Internet connection is gone but I'm still connected to my phone. Running the script in SManager gives the same errors as "popo72".

If I restore an ICS rom, tethering works perfect, but I want to run JB 4.2.2.

So I can get this to work when I run the script from smanager.

But when I take the same script, move it to init.d set permissions to match the other init.d scripts and reboot my phone my tethering wont work.

Is there a way to test if the script is failing for whatever reason in init.d? Is this a timing issue, does the script need to run later in bootup for it to work properly..? Thoughts anyone?

Contents of the script as follows:

#!/system/bin/sh

iptables -F

iptables -A bw_FORWARD -i !lo+

iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j RETURN -i rmnet+ -o wlan0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED

iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j DROP -i wlan0 -o rmnet+ -m state --state INVALID

iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j RETURN -i wlan0 -o rmnet+

Long time reader, first time poster.

A couple of months ago I rooted my Evo 3d and installed the SOS M rom. Rom works great with the exception of one issue, and I'm not entirely sure that it has to do with the rom either.

I've been trying to configure the Email app to connect to exchange and once I put in the initial settings it says "Checking incoming server settings.." and then comes back with Can't connect to server. On the exchange side I'm seeing the following:

Based on other searches I've done I'm guessing there is some activesync policy which I am violating but the exchange admins haven't been able to help.
