Do any of the ROM's include a working WiFi hotspot APK? Or is there a tweak to get it working? I am unlocked, and rooted still on stock ROM.
Thank You.

We should be able to rip stuff from the international images. Came here hoping someone had already done it.
Having issues with the Media Link HD, because it won't pair without either a wifi router or hotspot mode.

It's on the Dev edition would imagine it's included in custom ROMs like Android Revolution.

My media link hasn't even shipped yet I was one of the first people to get the phone and still no media link. Oh AT&T what will I do with you?
update
After searching to death. It appears that at least the Renovate ROM does remove the tether lock. There are people confirming that it works including using the media link. I am just waiting for the newest build based on 1.29......12
Hey guys,
You can find a summary of what I've done to my HTC One in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48582638.
On top of that, I've changed my Cell ID to the Google Play version (GOOGL001), I flashed the RUU with the Google Play version RUU, and I've installed the 4.4.2 OTA update from Google's servers.
Everything else works fine. Just when I'm connected to WiFi, videos don't load on the YouTube app (Vevo as well, but I'm assuming it's the same issue). I've tried connecting to three different WiFi connections (my house, my work, my parents') just incase there was an IP conflict or something; and still the same problem.
Do you think this is a problem with what I've done to my phone, the 4.4.2 OTA update, or the YouTube app itself?
*UPDATE* - I found out that when I take out my sim card, streaming videos works on WiFi. It only doesn't seem to work when it's connected to both a mobile network and WiFi
Thanks.

I have exact same problem on my HTC with 4.4.2. I also converted my HTC to Google play edition. And did 4.4.2 update. YouTube app Dr doesn't work on WiFi.. It's so frustrating..

I am having the same issue. I think it has to do more with wifi speeds than just YouTube. I have really poor Wifi down speed (less than 1mbps) and really fast upload speed (10mbps). There is something wrong here and it doesnt matter what rom I run, and I've narrowed it down that it is not my wifi router or service provider, I recently switched internet providers, and I doubt it is a hardware defect in my phone because my wife has consistent speeds to me on her One.
Long story short, I'm at a loss here on trying to figure out what is the root of this issue. Hope someone may figure out an answer.
OMG i have the same problem. I converted my htc one's CID then flashed the google RUU. I noticed after the 4.4 update youtube videos will not load on wifi. I tried in chrome as well and they dont load their either. I just get a message saying sorry video not available or something.
This is what happens
1. click on video to load.
2. video will start to load
3. youtube app shows loading of advertisement
4. app locks up for a couple sec
5. app comes back, but it just shows the loading circle indefinitely
I thought the update i sideloaded was corrupt or something so i reflashed the 4.2.2 RUU and then manually updated using OTA and it still did not work
Videos load flawlessly over my data connection. This issue has gotten me so frustrated i was actually trying to go back to a sense rom.

We should let this issue be known all over the web so it gets more coverage. Let's all try posting this problem on different websites and forums, so somebody will find a fix. Once a fix is found, we should post the solution back here.
I found by flashing the firmware over a new rom it will work until the phone is rebooted again (running 4.06 firmware, 4.2.2 rom)
Same problem since 4.4.2 update
I deleted the application data, clearing the cache and reinstalled the apk from the market but youtube is still stuck on the loading videos (over data or wifi both with good speed).
IDIT : it works after a reboot with wifi disabled!
Took so much effort to convert phone to GPE.. with 4.4 RUU.. updated to 4.4.2.. and youtube don't work on wifi..
That is my 75% used app.. It will send video fine to chromecast.. but won't play on phone..
Wifi only issue.. On mobile data works fine.. Tried all what i could.. reset phone.. delete data for youtube.. uninstall update for Youtube..
After two days of struggle.. restored my stock sense rom.. cant live without youtube..
It really sucks..

Yeah, lol. Tell me about it! If you look at my link at the top of this thread, you will see all the trouble I went through to get my HTC One to stock Android, and now video streaming doesn't work on WiFi.
I'm not switching back to HTC Sense UI though. I hate any version of Android that's not stock. Thankfully, I have a Nexus 5 I can use while waiting for a fix. I'm not completely switching over to a Nexus device because I like the front stereo speakers as well as the design of the HTC One.
I have a similar issue:
Youtube works after a complete reboot (and with wifi connected), but if I go off this wifi and back on again, it won't work until I reboot the phone again.

Hey guys,
I've just found something out. I found out that when I take out my sim card, streaming videos works on WiFi. It only doesn't seem to work when it's connected to both a mobile network and WiFi
I think I have found a solution to the problem. The ones of you that have root, try and install Adblock plus. It seems that everything works fine now. Please reply with your results.

Whoa, I didn't think this would do it, but it worked. I had AdAway installed and installed this alongside and it works just fine.
I'm just curious as to why it works this way now.. ?
I changed nothing it works now (no adblocker)...
Ok it stopped working? WTF!!!!!
It's stil working for me. The thing is I have only one Wi-Fi connection to test on.
Same problem converted gpe OTA 4.2.2 stock I have multiple WiFi and 2 different ISP no change. hope someone find a solution

I installed adblock plus and I still can't stream videos while connected to WiFi.
I dont think this is a wifi speed problem. My connection is 45/4 so i should have no problems with youtube. Mine still does not work
This was bothering me so much that I decided to install a non-GPE rom instead. I went for the Omni Rom 4.2.2 and it works just fine with the videos.
I will switch back to a GPE once this is sorted out, but I am ok with this setup now. Good luck!!
I have a KFHD 7" (2012 model), it's rooted, the latest TWRP is installed and I'm currently running Kinology. From time to time it seems to be unnecessarily freezing and overheating (this used to happen for a long time now, but it doesn't seem to affect its performance from what I've seen) and I'm thinking of trying something new since it's already acting up.
I am currently using the latest Kinology, after I updated it to the latest version the freezing seemed to reduce visibly, but I still want to change the ROM. I was between PAC-MAN (http://forum.pac-rom.com/Thread-4-4-PAC-man-For-the-Kindle-Fire-HD-7) and CM11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2543455).
I was going to go for PAC-MAN but I'm having some issues figuring out which the latest stable version is, since they say they have updated to 4.4 but in their downloads I can't find it in the folders with the stables. I've asked many times in their site and their thread about KFHD here in xda but I haven't received an answer yet. I could just go for CM but I have some questions about it...
So what I need the rom I'll choose to do is:
run the kindle reading app normally (I don't care about the carusel, I just want normal access to my mobi files
run games ok
not freeze for no reason (I mean, the main purpose of flashing something new is to make my tablet run faster not slower)
have the facebook messenger work properly (since I installed kinology, unless I have "chat heads" manually opened and left to run, I get no notifications about new messages)
have the wifi and bluetooth working
So I need people who have CM or PAC-MAN to tell me if either of these roms has these features. Oh, also, I've seen there's some feature they call "OTA". What is that? I think when I rooted my kindle I had to make sure to disable those so that it wouldn't get randomly updated and undo my root? If someone could explain that to me I'd be grateful!
Oh and one more thing. With custom roms such as those two, are amazon's apps installed and running in the background for no reason just like they do if you have the stock rom, or are they disabled/uninstalled...?
With custom roms there is no such thing as Amazon apps. I suggest CM because of its reputation and support. But PAC is not bad.
OTA is Over the Air upate. If you receive an OTA in a custom rom,there is no reason for you to lose root.

Ok, so if I want some of Amazon's apps all I have to do is download them from the appstore, right? (So relieved, I only ever used the reading app). So if it PAC has OTA, even if I install an older version (like 3.2 that I've found with certainty), it can install the latest on its own without me messing any more with the 2nd bootloader? I was hoping to try PAC before CM and to use CM only if PAC presents more issues than I can handle...

I seriously recommend CM. Even if you get any issues,the CM team will fix it MUCH faster than PAC. As for the Amazon Apps,I don't think all of them will be on the Play Store. But the Kindle reading app will.(I used it before)

Hmmm, then I might try CM11 today. It's true that in PAC they probably don't update too often, they don't even seem to check if people make questions or have issues too often. I've asked about which version to download a bunch of times in many different threads that they've made, and it's been 3 weeks and I'm still waiting for an answer.
One last thing. Do most games run alright in CM or are there compatibly issues? Oh, and something more. Does the playstore see the device as a kindle or as something else?

Yep. I enjoyed Riptide GP 2. And I don't know about the latest nightly,but Hashcode's last unofficial build had the build prop set to recognise the device as an Amazon Kindle Fire HD.
Thank you so much for asking all my annoying questions! I sat down last night and flashed CM, set up everything and so far it's running smoothly. I tried some of the games I used to play and they seem to be running alright as well. I'm having some issues with the kindle reading app though, I downloaded it and logged in but it says it can't sync now and to try again later. I will try again later and see if it gets fixed...
Short and sweet... I love and recomend CyanogenMod.I use it on my kindlefire 1, 2 and 3 and I hope to
have it on this 2nd gen HD I'm working on now. With CM the possibilities are endless and anyone can easily customize
the kindle into a lean mean tablet with ease.... Thank You CM Team!
I took the plunge last night after having many issues with my Kindle Fire HD 7 that had been rooted and had both Amazon OS and Android. It started acting crazy after the last OTA that I thought I had shut off. Anyway, I re-rooted it, installed twrp 2.7.0.0, and then flashed it with cm-11-20140414-UNOFFICIAL-tate. Everything went smoothly and seems to work great. It also seems much faster now. Once I got all my account stuff setup, I did an update that it showed as being a stable version. I am now running cm-11-20140609-SNAPSHOT-M7. All my kindle books load up and I can read them on the device or cloud and was also able to find almost all of the games that I had before on my Kindle. It just seems so much nicer and faster now!

I decided to try out CM as well. Installed the latest stable version and it is indeed running much faster! I've never seen the keyboard not lag and the websites taking so little to load, so I'm satisfied so far. The Kindle app doesn't seem to be working for me though... I logged in my amazon account normally and every time I try to download books I don't even see a list, it says it failed to synch. I'll probably go over to the CM thread and as them about it...

I was able to download my books and sync initially, then when I went back I too was having sync issues. I downloaded Aptoide and it wanted to update some of my apps and the Kindle reader was one of them. After the update, it seems to be syncing and working.

So, wait Aptoide is an alternative app store, right? You're saying that if I update the kindle reader from there it might work properly right?

Hi! Make sure you have the latest cm11 update settings-about tablet-cyangenmod updates
if you do and it still doesn't work please contact me and ill be will to provide further asistance1
I have the latest stable update according to my tablet, I checked. I seem to have issues with the Kindle reading app (it either doesn't sync or if I try an older version it crashes as soon as it is launched of after logging in), and it seems like Google services keep crashing randomly (I think this is the 4th or 5th day I'm running Cm but it wasn't doing so for at least the first two days). It also doesn't auto rotate although I have screen rotation unlocked, it rotates only after putting the Kindle in sleep mode and unlocking it again. I dunno if all those are related or not, if you could help me I'd really be thankful. =)

M7 is a monthly update considered more stable than nighty. I think one of the monthly snapshots had some issues. That may be what he's refering too. I am using the nightly from 7-2 (think) and it's running great for the things I use it for.

Thanks m8, all my nexus devices are having wifi issue with anything above channel 11, really odd bug can cant get 5G working at all so no AC currently.
Such a strange little bug.
I'm having problems connecting to a Channel 11 WiFi that I don't have to its configuration. This happened since the L Developer Preview and is still there after the 5.0 release.
However, it worked perfectly fine on versions 4.4.4 and older!
A bug report is here.

Thanks, I was on the point of rolling back to 4.4.4 as I wasn't able to get wifi to work again, other than from Safe mode.
However it seems to be working now that I've shifted my channel from 13 to 8
I have the same problem here, finally i'm not the only one having this issue. Fixed after changing Wireless Channel number to 11 from 13 and i'm not sure if this is also related with Wifi drain bug.
Has no one tried:
settings put secure wifi_country_code UK
I'm not in the UK so I can't test but...
Has anyone tried the 5ghz channels? I'm testing on my Shield tablet and I can only see channels 36-44, whereas with Kitkat all the channels were accessible. I've started a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...less-detection-lollipop-t2945899#post56965354

Can you explain where that code should be used? and what it will do?

Has anyone tried the 5ghz channels? I'm testing on my Shield tablet and I can only see channels 36-44, whereas with Kitkat all the channels were accessible. I've started a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...less-detection-lollipop-t2945899#post56965354

You run the code in terminal or some other app that passes shell commands.
What it does: https://www.google.com/search?clien...&sa=X&ei=ofRwVLjmAozOaJ6hgJgM&ved=0CB0QvgUoAQ
My wifi won't even turn on it just says turning on and doesn't actually turn on! Will changing the channels help that! I am not rooted!

I'm also facing a problem with wifi on my Nexus 5 (D821) with Android 5.0.
I can't connect to my wifi repeater TP-LINK TL-WA850RE, the device says it's connected but shows that "!" sign.
I don't know if it has something to do with wifi channels, since the repeater works fine on another devices running Android 4.4.4 and Windows, PCs, etc.
Don't know if it's another wifi bug on Lollipop or what.

Try just flashing the kk radio. This has worked for several people.
Not rooted ATM but that's one option I'm considering! Cheers
Am I the only one facing the following issue; in my battery stats, WiFi is shown as always on. Now, I turn my WiFi off when I leave for work and WiFi scanning always available has been turned off. Why does it still show my WiFi as on?

Nope, you are not the only one, I have the same problem. I actually did a clean install of Lollipop, it was terrible. Battery pretty much drained in about 8 hours with less than an hour of screen on time. I have reinstalled again (this time installed 4.4.4 and then doing an OTA). Lets see how that fares. Overnight, with minimal apps running I got from 97% to about 74% (7 hours) with wifi off, but in battery stats wifi is being shown as on.

Yup!
Is that it? Is Viber the demon that is sucking my battery life?
Has anyone been able to figure out how to go about fixing the internet lag that Marshmallow brought? Any app that uses internet seems to lag for a long time before actually beginning to load, including web pages, play store downloads, etc. I haven't been able to figure out yet how to correct that.

no internet lag here at all, on marshmallow. actually, any lag that youre having would most likely be because of your provider, and not because of marshmallow. is your apn correct?
same here. .no internet lag..
I experience the same lag, especially on the two apps he mentions. Strange because I don't see that on any of my PC's, laptops or internet TV's so I don't think it's a provider issue. I have checked my APN's and they are correctly set. It's not horrible with the browser, a five second delay before loading but sometimes the play store has to be stopped and restarted (or turn off wifi) to connect.

Same issue then! And Simms, I believe my apn is correct, it does this for me on WiFi too and same as said here in this quoted post, I don't experience this issue on any of my other devices in the house, just my Nexus! Not sure exactly what it may be. And yea, it's like a 5 second delay, but I remember how fast it used to be on lollipop, and that's a drag! Lol
No issue here either.

odd then. maybe its because of your "set up"? if you have twrp recovery, would you make a backup then try a factory reset. see if it happens from the beginning or not. you can restore your back up after.
same issue and im bone stock, If I have some time i will be trying a few different ROMs over the few days until I find "the one" so I will report back my findings. I'm on tmo and have the issue whether im on wifi, lte, H+, or H.

I have tried this and even in 100% stock. Unlocked bootloader still and same lag. Kind of seems like only Marshmallow brought this, possible in the radio file it comes with. I'm stumped about why. I'm running newest cataclysm with multirom and cm 13 on secondary. Using newest elite kernel. Multirom TWRP is my recovery. Also, it is safe to install Lollipop radio and use with Marshamllow? Can you mix radios like that? I may try that next if possible!
I don't know if this is an issue with me or chrome app. I'm on tmobile and sometimes it lags on wifi as well. Haven't tried a different browser.

Now I wonder if this is only affecting people on T-Mobile, as I am also on T-Mobile. Could it be the WiFi calling feature? I have this on because the service at my house is awful! Could be the culpit!
im on tmo and now that i flashed chroma the issue has not presented again, I will report back after more thorough testing.

The wifi calling is not on in Chroma and it does not seem to have any of the issues I was experiencing on stock so (by deductive reasoning) I am blaming the wifi calling... but why?

It could very well be the WiFi calling then! Which sucks because I pretty much rely on that at home, service is bad here. I wonder when that will be fixed!
Search Google for marshmallow data stalls. It's a very weird bug, turning your screen on and off is the only thing that helps.
I Flashed a cm13 rom and it is gone for me now. Maybe try that and see if it works for you? You could always nandroid anyways if it didn't fix it.

I have CM13 installed as a secondary rom using multirom, but haven't used it enough to really test that! I'll look into that! And so it's a known bug then, seems like some have this issue and some don't, which I find weird!

i just purchased a nexus 6 and installed marsh. i am also on TMOUS and i get slow loads on browsers and social media apps. Instagram and Facebook as well as with both Chrome and Dolphin when accesssing any webpage. ive been toggling with the APN and surprisingly turning the screen off then on shows minimal success. Page loading reminds me of when i had Nextel running 2G service; its that slow or times out.
However i do not get this on Wifi.
I had an issue similar myself. Speed via speed test were crazy slow too, even when in LTE. My fix was very simple though. I flash the factory image from Google and booted first time. Then factory data reset and flashed radio before booting, suddenly all was working again. However my issue wasn't app related but rather system wide, also WiFi was just fine. I've read somewhere that certain providers limit speeds when phone looks like it is a PC to prevent people from tethering. APNS would normally solve this issue.
If I recall correctly it was from "Sprint" and all providers using their bands.
