Gave the phone to my chick, but i tinker with it from time to time. Custom kernels increase speed, custom roms change looks and the phone as a whole, by rooting your device you are given right to fully customize it (get better speed, custom looks, better battery life etc,). Always be cautious and if u dnt understand something read read read. Take all the steps to stay safe. Get to know and understand cwm (clockworkmod) first, as it will be your best friend. :)

Download the app from here (make sure you are logged into google play):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether

then use these settings:

Device - Profile : Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

Change SSID to something simple: tether

Wifi-driver reload 2: enabled

Make sure routing fix is: enabled

Then start tether.

After tether has started you should see "Other Network" in your list of wifi networks on the device you want to connect with. After starting a connection with "Other Network" it will ask you for the name of the network at which point you will enter the ssid name. In the example from above you would enter: tether.

voila wifi tether works.

ps make sure your connections optimizer is off or it will interfere with the app.

This works perfectly. Had this on my warp but could not find it, thanks.
