Just seen this tweet from Dhacker29!!!!!
First Off Working Cam!!!!!! YEAH!!
I knew they would get there!!!
This is basically the same rom from Dhacker29's last release but with the cam working!!!
You need to be on the .902 update to install this. If your not follow instructions Here or Here.
What works:
CAMERA!!
Graphics working smooth now (Hashcode)
Adb is working so we can track the rest (Hashcode)
Touchscreen (Hashcode)
Capacitive buttons (Hashcode)
Charging indicator (Hashcode)
BlueTooth
Both SDCards mounting on phone
Builtin Screenshot (CM)
Reboot menu (CM)
Phone and SMS works
GPS fully functional
Audio fully working (Hashcode audio wrapper based on tpruvot’s Defy work)
USB Mount working for sdcard-ext (Hashcode)
Gallery recognizes both cards (Hashcode)
1x/3g/lte data working
NOTE: you may have to dial *#*#4636#*#* (or use Phone Info from the market) and toggle data mode between modes. For me toggling to GSM only till the screen flashes and then back to GSM/CDMA auto (prl) works perfect. It will show data for a sec then flash off and about 30 seconds it will pop up to full data.
Not Working:
Front Facing Cam(really messed up you look at it)
Face Unlock
Cam Video
SafeStrap for Bionic

Hello all. It looks like the DATA is not working. It was good when I installed it, but after that it kept going in & out & now there is no DATA connection. It shows 3G/4G but there is no connection. I have full bars but they are Gray not Blue And yes I did that *#*# thingy.
Chrome does not seem to work
Tried installing chrome beta browser, but it says that my version of android is not supported, needs 4.0 or higher. Anyone able to get chrome to work?

I don't think chrome is working on any of the ics roms yet. I haven't tried any of the ics roms in a few days but it's always one of the first things I check (even though its not going to have flash). I'll be playing around with ics over the weekend so I will be able to see if that particular problem was fixed but its only alpha so its no big deal if it isn't.

youtube videos are the only problems i'm having now, they stutter and don't play correctly, i've seen this is a common problem with ics roms and no video acceleration at this point though

That may just be for you, I have been running it all day with no problems, besides the front camera, video, and everything else that is known. Try going to settings, then under Wireless & networks > network mode > click GSM only, wait for screen to flash, then hit LTE/CDMA again and after about 30 seconds you should have data.

Ya. I have done that too. No luck. Well, I'll just go back to GB till a stable working ROM is out, and thanks to everyone and all the Devs that are working hard for us. I just wish that I had the knowledge of doing this but unfortunately I don't. So, all the DEVS out there, THANK YOU.
Now on 2-24 ICS and 2-17 Gapps this morning, here are my initial thoughts after coming from 2-10:
- Camera will take photos but does force close for me after each photo taken
- I had to toggle GSM Only --> GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) a few times today to get data back
- Twitter app has FC'd a few times for me, never did with 2-10
- ICS Music app won't start, FC's as soon as I try to load it. The old Google Music app does work
- Having battery icon at top display increments is great (even if it is only by 10%)
- Google+ FC's like whoa
That is all for now. I did not wipe data when I flashed the new version so take this for what its worth. I just didn't have time to, still might if others don't notice these issues.
Hi,
I can't get WiFi tethering to work on my device, even though the ROM specifications imply that it is compatible and tested to work.
Basically, the problem is that when I activate the WiFi tether, the process goes smoothly and it becomes active, but none of my devices can see the SSID of my X8. I tried to scan for it both with my laptop and the Xperia Arc S device, and wasn't able to find it, albeit my laptop on one occasion actually managed to see it and connect to it successfully. When I tried the next time, the X8 wasn't there anymore.
I tried both the Wireless tether for root users app, and Barnacle wifi tether. Both have the same issue. I've also tried rotating through the channels and adding encryptions.
ROM is FroyoPro v2.5 and kernel is stock. I've read somewhere that stock kernel doesn't support WiFi tethering, but keep in mind the creator of the ROM tested it on stock kernel successfully, and I actually managed to connect to the device on a single occasion. Something else must be the issue.
Anyone else with the same problem? And possibly a fix?
EDIT: I've read that most phones can't connect to your WiFi tether because it's ad hoc mode. Is that the case here? And if it is, is it possible to make our X8 broadcast in infrastructure mode?
Had a few more successful connections to the laptop. No luck so far on Xperia Arc S.
Same problem on GDX stock kernel

As far as I can see, an app called WiFi tether is the only one capable to set up an infrastructure mode, but your ROM and kernel must support it. Also, most phones support searching for infrastructure networks and don't support ad hoc at all. I can't unlock my bootloader so I can't investigate this any further.
For now, Barnacle wireless tether is the only one that works for me, probably because it supposedly loads its own drivers, and I can connect to my X8 only from a computer.
I'm really getting annoyed with the stock kernel. One day I'm going to get drunk somewhere, and when I come home I'm going to attempt to unlock it. I swear (11w41)

I did try that, and it doesn't work even though the fix for tethering is installed in v2.5. Also, another thing that is annoying with it is that I have to reboot after each use, or else normal wifi wouldn't work. Barnacle is the only thing that works at the moment.
Good morning everyone.
I'm looking for help from anyone who can help me.
I'm looking for a rom that works well wi-fi tethering.
Barnacle does not work for me on all roms I've tried.
I'm a little desperate.
I'm waiting for someone to help me .....
I've tried much more rom like JB and ICS, but nothing to do.......
At the start, it works well, very fast, but after 5 minutes the display goes black, the network is disconnected and no longer works.
HELP ME!!
Dear XDA HTC Desire C Users,
Let me start off by saying I know that this question has been asked before. I've lurked these forums since 2010, I've flashed many devices with many custom roms and kernels. I just want to know what the deal with CyanogenMod is.
I've recently come into possession of a HTC Desire C. It's a great little phone, not what I was expecting at all when I bought it off a bloke at work for £30. Started it up and it was bogged down with all the normal crap you get when someone has a lock stocked phone. Decided to check out XDA once again, and found that there was a port of my favourite rom; CyanogenMod.
I've previously used CM on my Galaxy Europa, Galaxy S 3, Galaxy S4, Nexus 7 and Xperia Play. Using my phone as a WiFi Hotspot/for Wifi Tethering (however you want to say it) was only ever a problem on the Xperia Play (and possibly the Nexus 7, I haven't actually tried). The checkbox would tick, the writing would say "Turning on wireless..." and then that would be it. It would never complete the action. USB tethering has never been an issue, and I never really needed wireless tethering until I got a Nexus 7 around Xmas. Funnily enough, my Xperia Play broke at the same time, and I went back to using the old Europa (CM7, working wifi tether).
Now I've loaded this Desire C up with CM10 with NOPE Kernel v2.6, tried this wifi fix that a lot of people seem to enjoy linking to (granted, it does make WiFi work, but not tethering). Some other suggestions were to use Barnacle WiFi Tethering app, but it creates an ad-hoc connection which a Nexus 7 can't connect to.
I guess it's really a few questions, which I can summarise here for those of you unwilling to read the above text :
- Why does CM have working WiFi hotspot/tether settings on most of my previous devices and not the HTC Desire C?
- Has anyone actually ever got their Desire C to tether with CM10 (any version for the HTC Desire C)? If so, how?
- Are all JellyBean roms having this issue?
- I've read that Sense based ROMs are the only ones that have functional wifi tethering settings. If so, that means I'd have to use an ICS ROM to be able to use wifi tethering?
- Am I doing something wrong? The past few years I've had to relearn how to do all this stuff to a different device each time, I may have missed something that's more prevalent to someone who is immersed in this regularly. My process was as follows -
1) Downloaded CM10 Build 3, TWRP 2.4.2.0, GApps & Nope Kernel v 2.6 (700mhz)
2) Flashed TWRP 2.4.2.0 as recovery (fastboot flash boot recovery.img)
3) Rebooted into Recovery
4) Backed up, wiped & flashed (Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik, System)
5) Installed CM10 and Gapps (install .zip from sd)
6) Rebooted to Bootloader, flashed NOPE Kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
7) Rebooted to Recovery, wiped Cache/Dalvik Cache
8) Started phone, set up, tried WiFi Tethering.....nothing happened.
As far as I can see, I've probably missed one detail that is affecting the entire process. I assumed that since this was cute_princes v3 marked as "wifi fix", that I wouldn't have to put the folder I linked to earlier onto my phone (the file contatining p2p_supplicant_overlay, wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant_overlay).
To confirm, I tried the boot.img that came with CM10, it was some form of Prometheus and that didn't work either. I have tried MiniCM10 as well, same results there. I have flashed NOPE Kernel v2.6 on both CM10 and MiniCM10, to no avail. I also tried the boot.img that was packed with MiniCM10, same result.
Sorry for the long post, but I feel that it's better to over-explain yourself, rather than leaving people guessing. If anyone could shed some light onto this, I'd be very grateful. It's something that made me curious enough to post after 4 years of silence and lurking in the background. The fact that I've managed to root and flash all the previous devices I've owned without ever having to make a post shows that all the information is available to me on this site, and that XDA is such a great place that this information is readily available for me. But in this case, I can't find what I need, so I call to you for help.
Thanks in advance,
Gordon Freeman

That's the answer that I hear the most, and I never hear anything more than that. What kind of bug prevents it on certain phones? Why do Sense roms (apparently) have working wifi hotspot?
All my other questions are still open, plus a lot more for discussion. I am only a couple of months away from buying a Nexus 5 anyway, but I need this phone to wifi hotspot in the meanwhile.
Sense ROMs have working Wi-Fi hotspot as they are sort of a modified stock ROM....

So you're saying that I have to use an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM if I want to be able to use wireless hotspot/tethering? I'm assuming that if there are no JellyBean ROMs that have working wifi tethering/hotspot, then it has something to do with the phones hardware being unable to work with a newer Android OS. But I'm pretty sure I've read people having success with tethering on JB ROMs.
Maybe someone could point me in the direction of having CM10/any JB ROM with working wifi hotspot/tethering, I'd be grateful.
THIS has been such a deal-breaker for me with the CM10 ROMs. But... Fear not!
The recent MiniCM10 by warrior1208 has fully functional USB and WiFi hotspot tethering! Yippeee! Definitely give the guy/girl credit.

Are you sure that wireless tether is working in Mini CM10? I've flashed this ROM with the provided boot .img and Nope 2.6, and tether did not work. I'm pretty sure I applied that Wifi Fix as well, and nothing seemed to work for me.
Is anyone using a Jellybean ROM with tethering working? I just need to replicate as many possible working combinations of ROM and kernels,so any suggestions of combos would be awesome.
I'm posting this message via WiFi Hotspot. MiniCM10 V3, N.O.P.E. v2.6 850Mhz. No wifi fix applied apart from the WiFi keepalive app (Enabled workaround 2, reselect Always On). USB tether works too, as I use it to install Arch Linux before setting up laptop wireless drivers.
I haven't tried V4 yet. I have a Desire C non-NFC.

And yes USB tether works for me...but I didn't try wifi hotspot...
If you can post a screenshot on MINICM 10 forum, then it would be great, so that all people having problems with other also roms come to know...
Thanks!

Thank you for your contribution to the thread. I only have the latest MiniCM10 (V4), but I am also using Nope 2.6, just a lower frequency (700mhz, i have no need for a large OC). I've just clean flashed it back onto my Desire C, and the same results as before. Here are a few screenshots, sometimes screenshots help :
Kernel Version

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
ROM Version
WiFi Working (Worked after turning it on then rebooted phone. WiFi was on once rebooted)
Wireless Tether NOT Working
On the last picture, if I back out into the previous menu then re-select to go back into the tethering sub-menu, the "Turning on WiFi..." message disappears and the checkbox is ticked, yet there is still no hotspot being produced.
So I must be doing something wrong still?
EDIT : So I've just flashed on the same kernel and CMMini version as you've said has worked for you. I've installed the "WiFi KeepAlive" app, but I am yet to launch it, as the description of the app (which is very vague) does not seem to mend the ailment that I am having.
I'm providing screenshots of the latest and current installation on my phone. I am not sure if anything in these is out of the ordinary, but maybe someone can tell me if I've done something wrong by looking at my "About Phone" section. Once again, I've provided screenshots of the wifi tether not turning on correctly :
About Phone 1 (Kernel and Baseband Version)
About Phone 2 (CM Version, Build Date and Build Number)
WiFi Tether (Unresponsive, stuck on screen until pressing Back)
WiFi Tether (Shows after exiting and entering again, produces no hotspot visible to other devices)
Working WiFi (After switching on then rebooting, wifi becomes available, but no hotspot)
So if anyone has anything to add, I'd be grateful once more.
Thanks
So after messing around for a while, I've managed to make a slight amount of progress. I feel like I'm almost there now.
I renamed my hotspot "testet" (meant to type "tested", never changed it) and set up WiFi KeepAlive. Using Workaround 2 and Always Keep Wifi On, I managed to get my Nexus 7 to see the hotspot. That's as far as I got, as trying to connect breeds a varying set of results. Whilst it can see the hotspot, it can never fully authenticate. It will hover on "Obtaining IP Address..." and "Authenticating..." before giving me "Saved, secured with WPA2" but not actually connecting to the Internet, or it will say "Avoided poor Internet connection" (or something to that effect). It's frustrating being so close, yet so far. Here are some more screenshots to demonstrate my finds :
Nexus 7 Wifi Screenshots (Various)
The "Turning on Wifi" thing disappeared on my phone and gave me a solid checkbox ticked for once, without having to back out then back in to the menu
See the edit to my previous post to get up to speed on where I am with kernels/ROMs installed.
Thanks again.
So I guess that no one really has any clue about this? Out of the +1,000 views of this thread, only a couple of people could actually contribute?
@warrior1208 , you ported this version of CyanogenMod, and you seemed to think that wifi tether works. Maybe you could shed some light on what I might be doing wrong? I won't have answers such as "It's a known bug", you've pulled the ROM apart and put it back together again, surely you must have some idea about what's going on? I will try to help as much as I can.
@beanaroo have you seen my responses? I have replicated the same setup as you, and had no success at getting this to work. Since you have confirmed that it works, maybe you could give me some advice on what I may be doing wrong?
Failing that, recommend me a JellyBean ROM for this troublesome little phone that has wireless tethering working. I know the common response would be "look through them yourself", but obviously some ROMs claim to have working wifi tether and they do not seem to work when I try them, so if I could get a recommendation then I wouldn't have to trawl through all the "broken" ones and find one that actually works.
No offence to anyones ROMs, it's just that wifi tether is paramount in my use of a phone, and I really wouldn't like to go back to the childish looking ICS ROMs. I don't want to discard this phone either, it's a nifty little thing and I'm quite fond of it.
Thanks again,

USB Tethering works flawlessly on MINICM10, whereas, for a working wifi hotspot(which is a CYANOGENMOD BUG), we would have to correct the wifi hotspot modules in the github source, and then produce a new build...
So, since we are not working for achieving that, we would never get wifi hotspot on aosp cm based roms...
I hope this information may clear up your doubts...
Here is a screenshot to prove that usb tether works in my ROM...
Unless someone makes a new build WiFi hotspot won't work and since most of the developers are now focusing on building cm11, it is highly unlikely that someone will create a cm10 build 4. You could try using Bluetooth hotspot as an alternative maybe?

I have been using Bluetooth tethering, but it's far from what I require. It's quite slow, and Bluetooth drains battery pretty quick. The range is also very limited. Fair enough, I keep hearing the same "it's a known bug in CM10", so what about JB ROMs that aren't made from CM10?

I'm fully aware that USB Tethering works on your build, if you had read any of my posts you'd realise that I already knew that. There was never a dispute as to whether USB Tethering was working. My problem is that @beanaroo claims that he has WiFi Tethering working with your ROM, and you seemed to acknowledge the fact that he had it working. So how can one user make something work that you (the builder of this ROM) claim doesn't work? Unless he is lying, then it must work?
So, other JB ROM alternatives to CM10 then?
EDIT : @warrior1208 I just noticed that your screenshot of your phone shows that Portable WiFi Hotspot is ticked. I know you can select it, go back in the menu and then go forwards again and it remains a solid tick, but why would you include that if you just admitted that it doesn't work? Strange.
Since the only source built jb ROM is cm10, all other ROMs are ported using cm10. That's why the bugs of cm10 are there in every ROM. If someone fixes the tethering and makes a patch or something then it would work. But so far no one has really taken it onto themselves to fix the bug..... So maybe if you could do something......

Point me in the direction of a ROM building tutorial and I'll happily try my hardest to get it working. I'm not a pro in this kind of thing, but I've been using computers for a couple of decades now so I'm sure I could give it a try. Plus it gives me a reason to get into Android development, as I love Android. I'm totally willing to put some effort into fixing this issue, even if it's just for me. If you could give me pointers on where to look, then I'll give it a shot, although if the CM guys can't do it then I really doubt I'll have a chance.
After all of this, I'm guessing that @beanaroo was lying about his ability to wifi tether on this ROM then?

I have been using Bluetooth tethering, but it's far from what I require. It's quite slow, and Bluetooth drains battery pretty quick. The range is also very limited. Fair enough, I keep hearing the same "it's a known bug in CM10", so what about JB ROMs that aren't made from CM10?
I'm fully aware that USB Tethering works on your build, if you had read any of my posts you'd realise that I already knew that. There was never a dispute as to whether USB Tethering was working. My problem is that @beanaroo claims that he has WiFi Tethering working with your ROM, and you seemed to acknowledge the fact that he had it working. So how can one user make something work that you (the builder of this ROM) claim doesn't work? Unless he is lying, then it must work?
So, other JB ROM alternatives to CM10 then?
EDIT : @warrior1208 I just noticed that your screenshot of your phone shows that Portable WiFi Hotspot is ticked. I know you can select it, go back in the menu and then go forwards again and it remains a solid tick, but why would you include that if you just admitted that it doesn't work? Strange.

I never mentioned that wifi hotspot works in my ROM...You may ask @beanaroo how he got that working...and yes I was trying in my screenshot to make hotspot stable...But it won't work in any of the Jelly Bean ROMs...So if you want it, you may revert back to a sense ROM as, the sense roms are based on stock rom and hence have everything working...Whereas, all the JB roms for our device have been ported taking cm 10 build 3 as base...I hope this clears up your doubt that YOU CANNOT USE WIFI HOTSPOT ON ANY JELLY BEAN ROM, REVERT BACK TO STOCK OR SENSE BASED ROMS FOR ACHIEVING THAT
You can Google up a 'how to build a ROM from source guide' there are plenty of good ones.

Well I've started looking into some guides now, and once I've installed Ubuntu I'll see what I can do. I think I made some progress, I managed to get the phone to broadcast a signal, there was just a problem with authenticating when connecting. I think once I manage to work out what that problem was, I could make a bit of progress.
In the mean time, I've downloaded a few Sense ROMs which I'll be flashing on to the Desire C until I buy my Nexus 5 next week, which means I'll have the Desire C available for multiple flashes and messing around without having to put my phone out of action for a long time.
Anyway, thanks for the (limited) help. I realised about halfway through that no one really cares enough to try and make it work, I thought people would be up for a crack at this. The lack of enthusiasm was probably down to people not fully reading my posts and checking out all the info I provided, but that's fine. If I get anywhere, I'll let you know.
