Hey I have a friend who wants to flash roms on his Tmobile Note 2. The only problem is that all the TW roms I've seen don't support wifi calling. Is there a fix? Is this a problem with only stock roms?

There are quite a few that support wifi calling - any built from tmobile official bases really (like UVALK8 or UVALL4)
they should suport as long as they're not a port of the international/other carrier device ROMs

Ok so I have a few questions if you guys would allow me to pick your brains.
I have installed cm9.1 on the galaxy s2 (SGH-T989) using clock work recovery. The phone is rooted using superSU. Pretty standard as far as it goes here. However:
<s>1) I have no wifi calling option and its running android 4.0.4 (ICS). Is this normal for this rom or do I need a different kernal or modem/radio to make this work? Because stock has this feature and its really important to keep message/calling costs down and get service in dead zones.</s>
2) I cannot get 4G data. Only "H" and 3G. I got Edge/2G/3G/4G with stock. Is this normal or do I need to do something else to get this to work?
3) What are good custom kernals to use for this phone because I looked on the sticky and there are only three listed and some are discontinued. Also what are the major advantages of a custom kernal over samsungs stock? I.E. What does it add/modify?
4) Do custom radios change signals your phone can pick up? What exactly does changing the radio do?
THANKS!
~NEW!~
1)Since no wifi calling is a deal breaker for me I'm going to try a new rom, so! I'm looking at darkside and akop. Any opinions on these roms or experiences you guys have had with these good or bad?
2) CWM vs TWRP ~ GO!
Just trying to get better informed. Thanks everyone! :highfive:
Also if there are guides I missed that explain these things I'm sorry just link me to them if you would be so kind. Thanks!

This and stick with stock kernels for now. Different radios work better in different areas, so just try until you find the best one for you.

Haha yea after I got the answer I felt dumb I just never saw the little icon use "H" to explain a radio type and didn't think about that related to 4G as standing for hspa. Also I learned hspa exists using WCDMA. Cool. :victory:
The "H" means HSPA+ which is 4g.
Only Touchwiz ROMs have Wifi Calling (CM9 is AOSP Based)
The best kernel to use is the Darkside Venom Kernel for CM9 AOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775075
As far as radios go they can change the amount of signal. Certain radios make signal better in different areas. I PREFER THE GALAXY NOTE RADIO FOR Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile)
HOPE THIS HELPED!
Darkside, only tw roms have wifi calling, aosp roms like cm9,10 and aokp dont.

IPTables
Is there a kernal i can flash with the stock rom that would give me iptables/netfilter?
I know all ROMs running JellyBean don't have working wifi yet. I've read only ICS ROMs have tether ability. I've read through a few ROMs but haven't really seen it in their descriptions. Maybe we can have a little list of ROMs with working Wi-Fi tether?

The current LG8 ICS version of OdexedBlue 6.1 has wifi-tether built into the ROM, and it does work.

AH but there is a TW JELLYBEAN ROM with native tether and its the Cspire stock rom paired with spint apns works perfect! on a sprint s3 , next obvious question....... can this native tether be ported some how to other sprint TW roms?
I've only run a couple roms, but the sonic freegs3 3.0 one has working wifi tether as well as the cm10.1 m2

working wifi from a app? yeah thats pointless .... looking for native tether NATIVE
the point of my post was to show there is a TW JB rom with working native USB/WIFI/Hotspot/Bluetooth tether, hoping a dev could some how get TW native tether for our phone as WE are the ONLY carrier with no native TW tether for this phone it seems

Hi !
After doing a lot of reading, I have not seen any way to activate the wifi calling on the Telus/Koodo T989D.
The file android.software.sip.voip.ori is present in the phone. However, the menu is not showing up.
Is there anybody here that has succesfully modified the stock rom to have the wifi calling running ?

Yeah, neither koodo or Telus support wifi calling. As far as I know there are no Canadian carriers who support it unfortunately.

Not possible man. Its built into the base.
Is it true that WiFi calling will work only with a T-Mobile SIM?

Not only does it have to be a TMo SIM, but it has to be a wifi calling ENABLED SIM. WIFI calling is strictly a TMo feature.
And before anyone chimes in, yes, there are other SIP/VOIP solutions (Google Voice for example) but as has been discussed many times, its not the same thing.
So your saying that if i have T-Mobile then i can install WiFi calling from the official ROM an it'll work
JELLYBAM™ 7.4.0
You also have to Activate it on your TMobile account in order to work. In my case I have to call TMobile cuz some glitch with my account.

And no! It's bake into the framework and there are a couple of lib files as well as changes to the build prop. Before ICS it was possible to port it to non T-Mobile Samsung ROMs ( i was doing it with i9000 roms for the vibrant on GB) but I don't think anyone has figured out how to do it since they made allot of changes. I did look I into it on ICS but the changes they made were many. Also because it uses plan minutes it can't be used on other carriers.

The only way to have it in your ROM is to start with a T-mo base, like the official 4.2.1 that already has it. Then you can add your own custom touches to the ROM, but it's still going to have to be a touchwiz-based T-mobile ROM at it's core.
If you want something like WiFi calling download the app Contacts+ in the play store. Works just the same.

Is it possible? I know it is with Touchwiz based roms, but I don't know of anyone that has ported it over to stock roms.
No. There is still a bounty going.
This has almost become a joke it is asked so often. Lol
