Motorola defy xt535 coming to republic wireless

Hello.
I am looking for some help in the coming months with this phone. The phone when released will have gingerbread. I am looking to get either ICS or jellybean on the phone.
Problem is republic wireless uses hybrid calling technology which means it switches over to WiFi when available. RW probably uses files baked into their custom ROM, which is basically cm with clockwork mod, and I need to extract them in hopes of merging them with an ICS or jellybean ROM for this.
Anyone up for this?

ICS will allow you to use VOIP calls automatically whenever you are connected to the wifi. You just need to fill in the user-pass and sip server address (check the dialer settings). There is no need to install anything.

Republic wireless has an app that seems to handle the WiFi cell handoff and and their own kernel and such. I won't know the exact changes until I get a system dump of the phone.

Thank for your interest in doing this, biggiephat. I hope to be in the next Wave with Republic sometime in August. I'm just a flasher coming from an HTC Incredible. I thought I would try this pay-as-you-go smartphone plan.
I will be posting my experiences to alert other posters to the good, bad and the ugly.

I already have republic wireless its just the optimus s that it came with is horrible. Service is good as far as I can tell

Hey Biggiephat! Glad you're interested in this too! I posted a similar (if not TLDR) post on the CM forums earlier today. Many of the apks and background apps from CM7 had to be modded in order for the RW version to work. The same will be true for us. What makes this more challenging, however, is that ICS/JB is an entirely 'new' system from Gingerbread and prior (most of those were incremental updates)... so it will not be as simple as dumping, copying, praying. This will take some serious effort--but I for one am down for partaking. and I love that this phone can receive calls underwater--bwaahaha!
Let's do this!

Woo! Even so, just to dump the system img and debloat this thing would be my first task. Then move on to compiling an ICS or jb aosp ROM. I'm asking for help because I want to get into the ROM game and I think with some help it could be a great experience. I am a software engineer so I hopefully can pick up on this stuff very easily.
You have the link to that CM post? Interested in reading that on my lunch break today.

Do you have the MLC/SPC for the RW version of the phone? I would like to get root on my phone but I cannot figure out the MLC. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out.

Our device unfortunately is XT557, not 535, so it will not be that simple for us. Plus RW has not released the SPC or info on the calculation of it.

Just got Defy XT 557
I just got my Defy XT 557 from republic and I would also be interested in helping get a new rom built for ics.

Once I am able to upgrade to this phone i will. This thread is not dead yet. Being in Wave A is taking awhile .

my wave (e) gets released today. I'm down to help out in any way to get a better ROM for the device.

Mine is on order. Did it last night. Might even grab a second line next week when they offer it to us wave Aers

[Q] What are we waiting on?

What are we waiting on in order to get JB and AOSP?
I'm asking out of pure curiosity. I looked in various threads to try and find the answer. I don't think I get it. Anyways. Thanks for any info!

Seems to me that the devs for lgog want to release a "good" rom (everything working). So that is what we are waiting on.

There is already JB for LGOG but there are reports that people can't send messages.

There's a jb ROM from Houston that Everything works except making calls

No he made a new kernel that fixed all that. Just can't make calls

Also Xboxfanj, who is working on I believe getting cm10 or something is having issues with GPS, nfc, and I think camera. So err ate getting close. Wouldn't be surprised if they waited for official jb and source drop till they do release it
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Until someone has posted a working rom in our Sprint Development page I would strongly recommend not flashing anything cloned from another OG version. Xbox is working tirelessly under very stressful conditions(St. Louis) to give us a CM version of JB. The biggest hindrance is that are phone is different from the other OG. Actually, all the OG are different from each other from one aspect to another. We all share the same CPU. So booting isn't an issue. But, after that it really is difficult to get each thing to work. The Sprint version uses its own CDMA which is not the same as what they use in Korea. At&t has its own camera, the Japanese version is waterproof(seriously), the Canadian version wishes it was an American.
If you flash any of these roms(unless triple confirmed it is safe) you can really jack stuff up. You need to not only back up your phone but I would back up your partitions.
My strongest recommendation if you are merely a hobby flasher is to wait. I know it has been a tough long road but the finish line is in sight. We will have source for our phone(LS970) in a month. We will have the OTA in a month. If you flash anything Korean be prepared to face the consequences if things don't go well.
So, what are we waiting on? The simple and most honest answer is LG. Send them an email, blast them on twitter, blast Sprint to have them blast LG, call the development department, email multiple sources, write a letter to the Android sites online. Maybe they could write a story about it. If you put their feet to the fire they will have to say something. But, be kind and sane in your approach. The problem of getting our phone updated is not because of lack of development. We have some great guys.

enable tethering on stock ics for at&t xperia ion

Didn't see this anywhere. And when I tried to find out how it was too much to do to get just one thing working so I figured a little trick out that I have done with many at&t phones and it works!
First you need root.
Next download your favorite file viewer or just use system tuner.
Search for tether entitlement check or something like that in system apps and freeze it
Reboot.
That's it
Ha if your device messes up or something its not my fault yada yada yada you take full responaibiltity etc

One last thing , I got a little scared because my phone rebooted I think twice after the initial reboot so don't be alarmed if this happens. Phone will still boot up.
Enjoy!
Only tested on Xperia ion for at&t with latest ics

I just flashed lt28i version..and tether is working fine..
All bloatware of att is also removed...bcz ii could not find how to enable tether at that time...but it is nice if any 1 wanna use with att rom.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app

Good job, people were trying to figure this out when the Ion first came out.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app

Ya it was pretty simple haha and yes that version has tethering working already but for the at&t build it is locked and this is how to unlock it

Great Job!!
I'm not at&t ROM fan, but it might be the only cure for someone who got scratchy voice while using either "h" or "i" ROMs
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115074)
With this is possible to keep the at&t ROM with tethering working!
Thanks for sharing

[Q] purchasing apps with carrier?

So I was able to purchase app through tmobile before I rooted and flashed a custom rom. But now when I try to attempt to purchase it tells me account can't be verified. Now I check my tmobile settings and nothing has changed. I even tried several roms but still no luck anyone else have this problem? Or know of a solution

I was the same way I got my phone on the 3rd day of july I too actually love TW and I rooted and flashed a customed rom Ive almost tried them all... not very many TW roms. But the ones that are there are really awesome.. I like Wicked V7, The Little Minions, GoldenEye they all have features that are sweet. If you like stock all three has TW, Golden Eye has the stock look and also has apps2sd.

Wifi calling and bluetooth should be fine. Ive tested those .. what I was wondering about was.. did all the system and preload apps show up and are functional. Likely they are but just thought since you're letting it go that a double check would be a good thing.

Does anyone know how to get wifi calling working? I have the newest sim card (TM9177) and have activated and setup my 911 address. I know wifi calling works because it did work when I was on GB and ICS.
Now on Jellybean (this rom and the stock rom) I can't get it to work. Wifi Calling is stuck on "enabling"
