I tried searching the roms forum, but I couldn't find anything.
It hasn't yet.

Nope. And I wouldn't count on it. Its extremely hard to port it to an all-new platform. The apps are special-made for branded T-Mobile devices.
They are actually just built into the ROMs. A dev on HD2 forum has a really great solution, but it used to be an app of some sorts that needed a specific lib to run. Now it seems that they have started to integrate it into the OS. It has a settings page now, no actual app that needs to run.
There is some development going on for it right now over on the T989 forums. I may just go for it even without wifi calling.

Bump as this would be great for those wanting this phone but suffer from poor indoor T-Mobile reception. This is the only thing making me hold off on getting this device over an SGSIII.

It will never come. Do not hold off expecting T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling to come to this device.
Not having wifi calling was a concern for me but also manyytimes I had problems withnnoticeable delayon a call using ewifiand also yoibmight find that fforcing your phone to 2g where you normally use wifi calling will give you good signal (did for me).

After reading that the updates will come from Samsung, but sent out by Google...it makes me worried. I might just cancel my pre-order...
I saw that too, why does it need to go through samsung really? i didn't know they will have their hands in it you know?

This, plus the fact that I've seen multiple reviews now that suggest that the actual hardware is the same as the AT&T phone and therefore will not be able to connect to T-Mobile's HSPA+ network. Which I would think would be a total dealbreaker for any T-Mobile customer. Sucks I waited over a month for this phone and am now just considering buying the regular T-Mobile version and putting AOKP on it.
EDIT: The Anandtech review (which I should have read before posting) seems to invalidate my concern above. Sorry!
Now my biggest concern is that the phone doesn't come in black.
I was so close to giving google my money. But they chose white as the only color i could get? bah.
Also, judging by the review you posted, it seems i should be able to go out and get any US tmobile s4 and just transform it into a Google Edition. That is, once the rom drops and their are proper instructions. There are some things i don't understand, such as whether or not we'll be able to completely change the model number from SGH-M919 to GT-I9505G, but i'm sure someone will figure it out.

Must have missed this part where it says it works on LTE
Anyhow the layman's translation is that the SGS4 GPe and HTC One GPe work out of the box on AT&T and T-Mobile LTE. The SGS4 GPe will work on all of T-Mobile and AT&T HSPA+, HTC One GPe will work on all of AT&T HSPA+ but only Band 2 (1900 MHz) T-Mobile HSPA+. The HTC One GPe will not work on T-Mobile's Band 4 HSPA+, only its Band 4 LTE. If you're on Sprint or Verizon CDMA/LTE and care about having Nexus phones you're again on the wrong side of the fence and probably will be for the foreseeable future. I tested both T-Mobile and AT&T personal SIMs in both devices, and had no issues with them attaching flawlessly to LTE and HSPA+ on the respective networks.
Yawn.
It's all getting pushed where it belongs. Who needs new hardware?
So has anyone had hands on with this thing yet? Or seen a VERY in depth video of all features? I need that photosphere! Does the GPe have it?

Yes, but I haven't seen anyone get photosphere to work because the camera is different in the GS4. And since Samsung has it's own "photosphere" app coming, and these updates have to go through them first, I wonder if this feature has been left out.

Not true... The fact the Google Edition HTC One comes with Beats by default should tell you there will be some differences between these phones and the Nexus... Like, for instance... I like the fact that the updates go from Google to the OEM and then to the phone... That allows for the OEMs (Sammy and HTC) to add their own drivers (ESPECIALLY for the camera, my goodness can Google EVER throw a decent camera on their take of Android)
Is it VANILLA Android like it is on the Nexus 4? From the review, I KNOW it isn't. Imagine it more along the lines of a Cyanogenmod or a P.A. AOSP with tweaks.... You don't GET that on Vanilla Nexus... The fact it works like it should with the S-View cover (yes I have one) is a plus in my book. So, when I flash it whenever it comes out, I won't feel like I have no use for the cover I spent TOOOOOOO much money on..
But the google play page said it doesn't support AWS HSPA+. That's so weird.

Ya, HTC we are talking about samsung here. It does NOT and I doubt will have any samsung features like what you are expecting on TW. Only thing it have is the S-view and probably underlining features no one want is crazy about because let face it, all the samsung gimmics and cool feautures will only be on TW.

Many S3 users are complaining that tmobile hasnt released kitkat for the S3 while all the other carriers have. I'm one of those complainers. But why cant a dev just take a Sprint kitkat rom and mod it to allow wifi calling for the tmobile S3? Shouldnt that be easy to do?
If it was easy it would've been done already

no, WiFi calling has NEVER been ported. So the only ROMs that will have WiFi calling on them are ROMs based on a T-Mobile OS that included WiFi calling. Since every KK ROM on TMO is a port, the OS it NEEDS to be based on technically doesn't exist.

I have not. I don't have TMO (yet. Got grandfathered data on VZW which is nice. But TMO is cheaper, has perfect coverage in my area, and 3x LTE speeds. So probably gonna switch and sell my grandfathered plan AoL. First gonna try to get my number. I heard there's a way to do it with Google Voice, but that's a different topic. I just follow the VoIP developments to see how it goes. IMO every carrier should offer it. I'd love to see some ROM team geniuses get it figured out

Yeah I agree. This is the reason why I'm thinking of getting a Note 3 and selling my S3. Its just weird that tmobile wont release kitkat for the S3. Good luck with selling that grandpa plan. I know how its like being grandfathered into a plan. I was there too.
Just so you guys know, other carriers may soon get the hint and follow T-Mobiles lead on wifi calling. Sprint apparently is just now beginning to introduce it on their networks. From what I hear, its very restricted though, and is nowhere near as good as T-Mobile, but its a start!
Don't hold your breath for finding a way to port it into non Tmobile roms though. The work involved in modding many different parts of the o/s is probably much greater than anyone realizes, and without the full source code is next to impossible. It would require modding of system apps, frameworks, libs, drivers and modules, as well as the base firmware itself, most notably, the modem.

Really? Its good to hear that Sprint is including wifi calling. But I feel that the S3 wont get it in future releases based on what I read that kitkat is the last Android version for it. If by chance its included in a future release, it'll be months before it comes out. By then I'd have sold my S3.
Regarding the hard work that goes into modding a rom, I'm glad you explained it in detail. That opens up my eyes about how hard it is for a dev to invest his time and energy in modding a rom just right. I didnt know before how difficult it was. Many times we end users take devs for granted not knowing the sheer sacrifice you guys make to make us all happy. We look at you guys as wizards instead of human beings and expect you to give us what we want at the drop of a hat as if by magic, not appreciating your hard labor. For that I thank you Doc. Talk to you again.
Glad I could help!
Unless im mistaken, Sprint will be introducing their wifi calling with the S5/Note4. Not sure if the S4 will see it, bit you're right about kk being the last update for the S3.
As I understand it, they've still got a ways to go to make it as good as T-Mobiles offering, but it'll be better than not having it all!
Any guesses? I'd say sometime in Q2 2015 due to general Verizon incompetence.

Yep, that is the main feature of VoLTE, way better voice quality. I would think to be fully implemented, everyone needs the new equipment which compatible with VoLTE, which seems to be quite a while.
Fact of the matter is, Verizon advertised the phone as VOLTE, then recently, removed that icon from the Note 4 page, just like they did with the headphones.
Some markets are VoLTE capable now, but you and the person you called must have a supported phone to get HD. It sounds very good. I've heard several T-Mobile customers talk to each other with it.

No man. It's free. VoLTE is much clear on both sides of the call. I used it on my GS5, my wife also has a GS5 and it was great.
it's not gimmicks to get your money because it's free.
I think the Note 4 should have it in about a month or so. I'd say depends on how popular this phone will be and how bad people will bug VZW to give it to us.

VolTE just needs an update.. same like G2/S5

I just now realized how sick wifi calling, and realize how many roms don't have that feature. Take advantage of your T-Mobile phone. Over of the only carriers that allow this. Why the hell would you ever flash a rom that doesn't have it!????

Because I might use it once a year and I don't need to talk to anybody bad enough to need wifi calling even if it is cool.
It's just a waste of energy obsessing over it and there are ten times as many roms in the international forum (I9505) most of them far better quality than anything here in the T-mobile forum no offense meant to our dev's but the experts are where the users are.
Last but not least Hangouts has a dialer now, you can use google's wifi calling anywhere on any rom :good:

None of this made any sense. I've noticed one thing. All these custom kernels and roms eventually slow your phone down a lot, and lag the crap out of it. Never fails. All of them. Stock kernel for the win. All these gimmicky "badass governer" etc. suck.
I've been flashing forever, and I know what I'm talking about. I was using insane hybrid, and it worked good out the box, then a few days later what do you know, same lag like every custom rom and kernel will give you.
And no T-Mobile wifi, no go. Google hangouts sounds like trash in terms of reception. Tmobiles actual wifi calling is flawless victory.

Bros, I've been flashing for years, there's not a single rom on this planet that beats a stock firmware, and just uninstall bloatware manually, while using xposed installer. I've seen the light, and I've compared custom roms to stock, untouched, and just manual uninstalls. No comparison.
Roms without wifi calling is a bastardized version of what this phone supposed to be. Truth.

Doing it wrong, or not knowing what your doing (regardless of how many times you done it) doesn't make the rom or kernel bad.
I'm not championing aosp-ish based roms, they are lackluster featureless toys...ok thats another rant entirely...
Touchwiz based roms remain my choice and my experience with clean deodexed roms and a good kernel are overwhelmingly positive. I've never had a rom/kernel "eventually slow your phone down a lot, and lag the crap out of it", not sure what you are doing to your phone but it doesn't happen to me. I would agree "gimmicky" features in the kernel have never been that useful to me either but I don't use my phone as a supercomputer so maybe someone finds them useful.
I have three s4's currently I'm running stock/deodexed/knoxfree NK2 and hispAsian kernel on one,
I'm running Imperium TW on another, and Omega TW on the third, all with galaxy mod scripts.
I have ZERO issues on all of them Kernels are in their stock configurations or gov's set to intelidemand.
I can say Imperium rom and kernel in its stock configuration is the best benchmarking one of the three.
I have not found googles voice service to be noticeably lower quality than wifi calling especially with international calls I have found googles service to be better.
I guess it's true what they say "Individual results may vary"
Does WIFI calling allow you to make calls and send/receive texts if you have no signal/bars but youre on a WIFI network? If yes, that NEVER worked for me. I always needed some service reception for WIFI calling to work when i was on a stock T-Mobile ROM. Whats the point in that? So i dumped WIFI calling. I get zero service in my office so WIFI calling looked promising. What a disappointment. [emoji53]

I live in Waco, Texas (90 miles from Dallas). According to T-Mobile/MetroPCS' coverage map, I should have five bar 4G/LTE coverage at my home address. I have none. Wi-Fi calling works perfectly with my D-Link router for both texting and phone calls......NEVER fails.

Your response makes me think perhaps my work's WIFI is somehow blocking wifi calling from working, although i can log on to wifi with my phone. I get excellent reception everywhere except in my office at work. WIFI calling worked at home but i dont know if it makes any difference since i have excellent reception anyway.
WIFI calling hasn't done anything for me, so i dont factor it into choosing a ROM.

Look at the opinionballs on this guy. "It doesn't work right for me, so it's automatically crap for everyone." Riiiiiight.
I've literally flashed hundreds of roms and mods since buying my first smartphone (Samsung Moment) in 2009. Hell, I've even dabbled in development here and there over the years. Hundreds and thousands of different users reporting that a particular rom works as it should for them can't all be full of crap. Furthermore, your subjective opinion is just that. YOURS. If you don't like custom firmware, then don't use it. But, keep in mind where you are. This is a development community, and if you want to bad mouth the hard work done here for free by countless people, then maybe you should log out and go buy an iPhone.

You saying wifi calling is total crap doesn't make you credible in any sense. In fact, I've been told I sound more clear with wifi calling, and the person on the other end sounds more clear as well. Somethings wrong with your modem if its not working well. Wifi calling is optimized for T-Mobile customers. You sure you don't have e a defective phone, or a crap modem???

Look at the opinionballs on this guy. "It doesn't work right for me, so it's automatically crap for everyone." Riiiiiight.
I've literally flashed hundreds of roms and mods since buying my first smartphone (Samsung Moment) in 2009. Hell, I've even dabbled in development here and there over the years. Hundreds and thousands of different users reporting that a particular rom works as it should for them can't all be full of crap. Furthermore, your subjective opinion is just that. YOURS. If you don't like custom firmware, then don't use it. But, keep in mind where you are. This is a development community, and if you want to bad mouth the hard work done here for free by countless people, then maybe you should log out and go buy an iPhone.
Edit: [Title] Just changed my buildprop model to gt i9505...

Ain't that serious boss lmao.
Reason why I asked that is because I don't flash other model roms onto my T-Mobile device. That would actually make me careful, and wise.
Have you ever seen that one snl skit with Jimmy Fallon where he plays the sarcastic IT guy? You remind me of him
I never said I don't like custom roms, and when did I ever bad mouth someone's work? I'm just speaking the truth. Yeah, when you first flash a rom, your phone flies. Then give it a week, and it ALWAYS lags, slows down, or over heats eventually. It's never failed. Every single last rom, EXCEPT Jedi mind tricks ROM for the S2. I swear by that rom, but even then, you realize, half the trick to these roms are just changing the windows animations to 0. Let's be real. And honestly, even then, Jedi mind tricks would eventually start to random reboot, and have certain problems with certain roms.
Ok, here's an example of a problem with a current rom I used a week ago. Won't name names since you think I'm "bad mouthing" the devs. When I'm on my stock Samsung firmware, GPS works like an absolute charm, but when using a certain custom rom, the Google maps starts me off inverted, the map looks different, and the GPS cuts in and out.
Mind you, this is one of the most reliable and populat custom roms for this phone.

I'd love to have WiFi calling again but since I switch SIMs around occasionally when traveling internationally it's not been a big deal. A T-Mobile provided wireless repeater helps with the deadspot in my living room while in the US. Having CM 12.1 is way more important for me than an outdated, insecure KitKat rom.
Now, if Samsung/T-Mobile releases 5.1.1 with the StageFright fix built in then the stock Touchwiz rom will be redeemed in my mind.
