I have been searching the forums for AOSP ROMs for the Galaxy S2 and i can't seem to find any. I find a few ROMs that have some of the AOSP apps built in, but i'm looking for a strait up AOSP ROM. Is there a such thing for the T-Mobile Galaxy S2?
I do need to use WiFi Calling, i have no reception at my house at all so I need this feature working! But other then that i don't care if video recording doesn't work, if the ROM is GB or ICS.
I miss the HTC device ROMs there were always more options!
Any information would be helpful!

Aokp cm7 cm9 are all aosp and available for the t989. Both cm can be found in the dev section aokp needs to be downloaded from goo manager, which is an app. None of them have wifi calling however. No one has yet been able to figure out how to put wifi calling in a rom that isn't tw based because its more than just an app, its baked into the rom itself. I wouldn't count on it being developed any time soon either, but its not out of the realm of possibility. So to sum up: if you want wifi calling you have to use a T-Mobile rom, if you want aosp, you can't have wifi calling
That is what i was starting to think! sucks! Thanks for the reply!

hello! my brother rooted my phone last week before he left out of the country and he left me his xda info to ask if i had any questions since i wont be able to contact him much. my question is, does anyone know of a rom i can use that has functioning wifi tether? we have the unlimited plan but no tether and i would really love to use it. my brother installed darthstalker x and im kinda bored of it (its a great rom dont get me wrong). im just looking for something like an aokp? or aosp? idk what the difference is.. and if possible, maybe with the same motion functionality like on the original s3 rom. i like sliding my hand across to screen capture and all that haha. thanks for all the help!
ps he also installed a different kernel? idk what that means except that he said that i'll get better battery life, thats always a plus
If you want motion functions then you need to stay with a touchwiz based ROM, I think most of them have the free tether cooked in by now, it should say in the first post or changelogs if it does or not

CyanogenMod 10.1 4.2.2 latest nightly works great, including encrypted WiFi hotspot as long as you flash a kernel with it. Stock Cyanogen kernel breaks encryption. The kernel I am using right now is LeanKernel, and everything works great.
Another great ROM is PACman 4.2.1, which is a combination of ParanoidAndroid, AOKP, and CyanogenMod. I stopped using it, cause the settings are kind of a mess at the moment with most of the AOKP options being blank, but again, everything works on it, including encrypted Hotspot, and Bluetooth streaming. I like this ROM mostly because of the ParanoidAndroid settings that let you change the screen density, and per app density. This one does not need another kernel to get the hotspot working.
Here are some links:
CyanogenMod 10.1
LeanKernel
PACman ROM
Oh, and some info on tethering....T-mobile blocks it on PC's using pretty much any ROM, but you can spoof it with a browser UserAgent change and you should be good to go.

I have cynogenMod 10.1 nightly build 20130213 and LeanKernal 2.4. Still couldn't get secure wi-fi hotspot running. Any advice? What am I doing wrong?
update: got my t-mobile samsung s3 running SECURED wi-fi hotspot. :good: ...
I used cynogenMod 10.0 stable version, released on 2012-11-13
Now I'm going to test out other stuff, like making phone calls, call qualities...etc. The most important feature for me is the secure wi-fi.

im able to get a secure connection on dandroid but i'll give cyanogenmod 10 a shot. also i noticed as i looked into the leankernel host, did you download the right file? if i remember reading correctly, att and tmobile are pretty much the same. i looked over it a couple days ago and thought they were all just updates. today i noticed that there was att, sprint, and verizon (noob mode lol..)

You went back to a 4.1 build, wifi tether worked fine back then.
If you want 4.2.2 with encrypted wifi, try the latest CM10.1 nightly with LeanKernel 2.6. That combo works perfect for me.
Hey guys, I am a little confused on touchwiz and wifi calling.
If i understand correctly, a touchwiz rom is a customized (de-bloated) stock rom - from what i understand those are the only ones that have wifi calling.
I am currently running cm 10.1 and love it, but I have to start using wifi calling due to poor signal in my new home.
1. do i understand touchwiz and wifi calling correctly?
2. if i do, Any suggestions on the standard best of touchwiz with wifi calling? or can anyone point me in the right direction as I have a hard time knowing weather a ROM is touchwiz or not.
First, a custom TW ROM is more then just debloated. The devs add many scripts and code to improve battery life and smoothness. Some are adding things like AOSP lockscreen and theming. Yes, these modified stock ROMS are the only ones with wifi calling. My advice, roam the threads and see which ROM will suit your fancy.
Sent from the phalanges of my hand to the facet of your cranium.
And to add what LoopDoG said, it has to be a ROM based on a TMobile base. Wifi calling is a TMo feature that is baked into the base, not an APK. All ROMS that support wifi calling will say so in their first post.
And yes, you understand correctly. A non-touchwiz ROM cannot support wifi calling.

Agreed. I use WiFi calling extensively because I live and work in places that have either poor Tmo coverage or no coverage for anyone at all. blackangst is right, I've looking into this a lot because of my need for WiFi calling. WiFi calling is an exclusive Tmo feature and the only ROMs that have it are either stock Tmo, or variants of stock Tmo or any ROM created with a stock Tmo base. There have been several developers who have tried albeit unsuccessfully to include WiFi calling in their non-Tmo base ROMs like the developer of the ROM Embryo 6 (which I would use as my daily driver IF and only IF it were a Tmo based ROM (because of my need for WiFi calling). Note, Embryo is a TW ROM but it's from AT&T so it doesn't have WiFi calling. The best ICS ROM with WiFi calling that I used extensively was Darkside Evolution. But that's it. Tmo based ROM, or no WiFi calling. Right now I'm using the stock 4.1.2 rooted and deodexed and I'm trying to learn how to add the mods I want like the 23 toggles and threaded group MMS messaging.
You can flash multiple touchwiz roms that have wifi calling feature, jedi mind trick, infamous s2, tweakwiz, these are just a few, find one that works for u and flash away

Hello, I am wondering what is the newest most advanced ROM that has T-Mo's Wi-Fi calling?
I ask because there was a ROM that stated it in the title but no longer seems to do so
I also assume there are a bunch of great ROMs out there that support it and don't adverstise it
Lastly, is there a zip/apk we can flash onto any ROM? I know this used to exist but didn't always work
Any help would be much appreciated
I'm asking because I have been away for a while
I had found this ROM:

Any info on the ability to flash Wi-Fi Calling onto any ROM would be my main request
Info on great Wi-Fi Calling ROMs would be a close second
Thanks

Embrio is a very nice rom. I'm partial to Jedi Mind Trick V4/5. Its a great TW ROM that has the WIFI calling you desire. It is in JB 4.1.2 However if you like to be able to skin your ROM how you like check out AvatarROM. It also has WIFI calling as well. It has a theme engine which you can use to employ themes that are available in-rom to download, or pick a theme from the market. It runs 4.2.2. Both are stellar ROMs and run very fast. And FYI. If you require a ROM that can use WIFI tether, JMT does the job well. Even uses the stock tether app too. (Take that T-mo.)

Both ROM's support custom kernels. I am using the most recent kernel build from elbermu, which is the TW_1.02 for JMT. Does a great job. Supports Kernel tuner and TweakMod. Just make sure you are using the correct version kernel for the correct ROM build (i.e 4.1.2 with the proper 4.1.2 kernel. I learned the hard way) Also GApps packages.

When I loaded Avatar up, I had to turn WIFI calling off I believe. IDK. I don't run it as a daily driver ATM. But I can tell you that JMT does. Thats my daily driver. Works like a champ. WIFI calling works, but I don't use it much. Sorry if I misinformed you earlier about Avatar and WIFI calling. The new version might not have it.

Hi,
Wondering if there are any opinions on the best custom ROM (or ROMs) with T-Mobile wifi calling still intact?
This thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332717 lists most all of the ROMs, but the names of the threads don't do a good job of describing if they are AOSP vs. TW based (required for wifi calling). Moreover, some TW-based ROMs are based on international versions which don't have the T-Mobile specific wifi calling.
Yes, I'd actually prefer AOSP if wifi calling were intact, but to my knowledge it's currently impossible.

WickedV4 is a personal fave.
A search would have told you there is no best. Only best for you. So you will have to try them out yourself and see.

I've been using Cyanogen mod 10 for a year or so now, and the biggest gripe I have with it is that Wifi Calling doesn't work. I was looking around and couldn't find a ROM that supported Wifi Calling. Everything is AOSP based these days. I'd greatly appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.
Pretty much any 4.1.2 Roms so if you look for those I know there's a few maybe two good ones. But pretty much just about any 4.1.2 ROM that is touch wiz based will have WiFi calling. I wish it was in newer versions like 4.4 because I used to use it a lot

I just got a new t989 and I've been flashing like mad. I've tried numerous JB, ICS, and GB roms and the DEVs really put a lot of work=time into making them REAL nice for everyone here. For me, I just needed wifi-calling and prefer a nice lean machine, so GB based roms are great for me. I'm currently running slickMOD SUPREME and it's been great. Gonna try some more cuz I'm a junkie tho

What you're looking for are "stock" based roms, Unless I'm mistaken, nobody has performed the miracle of AOSP, AOKP, CM + wifi-calling yet.
Hope that helps
FYI: I'm running Jedi Mind Trick JB 8 and it's slick as $**t. Very polished and wifi-calling works great. Just follow the installation info to the letter. Also, Rushing just released Shadow_SU. Nice and fresh and should contain the latest/ greatest you can expect from UVMC6. I wasn't able to test wifi-calling works yet as I ended up in a boot loop which was most definitely MY fault, NOT the rom. Gonna give it another whirl. There are a lot of great roms out there, old and new, and I'm not as depressed now as I was when I first realised I was stuck shopping at StockROM Mart, thanks to the many great devs
