What are some custom ROMS that support WiFi calling? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

In using Infamous right now and am really happy with it except for a few hangups here and there, but I was wondering if there was any other yet that I should know of.

T-Mobile feature only. I have seen no other carrier incorporate that into their roms.
You would have run TMO carriers roms to get that feature, and I think all have that feature.

Right, and I was asking in terms of custom ROMS that integrate that feature. As in designed for the t-mo model specifically since I am a T mobile customer the ROM I'm using now, .Infamous, supports WiFi calling. I was just wondering if there's others, or maybe a way to add it into other ROMS.

As far as CM and other's of that nature, not a single one. Also, don't expect it to be incorporated into non-TouchWiz ROMs any time soon.

[Q] Different stock ROM

Just picked up my new Note II this week and was wondering if wiped out my tmo stock ROM.. would I be able to load an international stock ROM of X language/country region?
What I am aiming for is basically a fresh clean installed ROM without the tmo bloatware and etc. Also, would my Note II have any wifi calling issues being on a non-tmo stock ROM?
Any advice is appreciated and thank you in advance.
There should be a stock debloated rom floating around in the android dev sections. I used it untill jedi x7 came out and roms were becoming stable.

Wifi calling only available in TMobile roms. You will lose wifi calling if you install international roms or any roms that is not base on TMobile.

Yeah, I was afraid of that.. losing wifi calling. My area lacks coverage so I depend on wifi calling.
Hm.. is there a way to extract the wifi calling feature from stock tmo roms and install with other custom or international roms.

Well, in the sense that anything could be possible... sure. But it would be a huge undertaking much more involved then an extract-and-install scenario. My gut says the juice isn't worth the squeeze on that one... but I've been wrong on such things before so don't take my word for it.
My current ROM is Tweaked 1.5 I can confirm that Wi-fi calling works.
Should you choose to flash this rom (Tweaked 1.5) In Aroma installer, make sure you tick "install all t-mobile apps"

Fwiw - installing all t-mobile apps is not necessary for wifi calling to work on tweaked.

Guide to specific compatible rom ?

I use the Galaxy Note 2 I 317 on T Mobile I would really like to try some different roms weather AT&T or t-mobile roms but I need the wifi calling feature I know one of th3 T Mobile ROMs was incorporated with the AT&T note 2, and it has wifi calling working which is what I'm using currently but it is pretty basic 4.1 .2 build.
Does anybody know of any tmobile or att built roms that have the wifi call feature incorporated that I can flash on the i317 that will give me the wifi calling feature unfortunately I rely on that because of poor coverage in my area
I'm guessing the roms are probably probably if any going to be t mobile base roms I know you can pretty much flash anything onto the I 317 from t-mobile as far as I have read but I was curious about the radio and modem part of it
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Most Rom's don't include the modem!!!! But when flashing a Rom the OP should state that this Rom is compatible across many devices!
And yes if you mix match the wrong modem with your phone you'll end up with a boot loop:banghead:! Fyi
There's a few AT&T Rom's that a few TMO users have tried and work great.
I'm running SKY NOTE on both my AT&T & TMO GN2 with no problems. And GW set-up on both of them.

I understand but what im looking for is a tmobile rom that flashes fine with wifi calling or an att rom that was rebuilt with t mobile wifi calling. All I want is a rom that has wifi calling wethwr is att rebuilt or t mobile based . That will flash to the i317.
I know of one its just stock t889-i317 with the wifi calling Built 4.1.2 but its plain jane.
No matter how much I google oe look under and development for eqch forum I cant pinpoint one rom that has this.
Thus why im asking outright as a question.
This is all temporarily until I can trade for a branded t889

If that TMO Wi-Fi calling is an apk??, then you should be able to pull it from any Rom that has it!!

[Q] ROMs with integrated wifi calling

Hi,
I heard that tmobile based roms can have integrated wifi calling. Is there a technical name in the feature lists i'm looking for? I can't seem to find one ..
Can anyone recommend me 1 or 2 roms to choose from that support integrated wifi calling? To compare my taste, I'm a fan of Hyperdrive rom at the moment I love touchwiz/aosp combos with s4 themes.
my signature, there is a list in there click and read the threads and look at the images they offer in their OP.
S3Rx 1.5
Dandroid
z999
Those are very good ROMs. All the devs did great work on all of them. There may be others that support wifi calling but these three are a few I think you will like
They are all in this section >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1645
Or my signature which has them labeled in my ROM guide... Lol

Perfect answers, thanks guys!!
Also a related question: I have a tmobile s3 t999 that's unlocked. I'll be moving to Taiwan next year. If I use a different provider (not tmobile), BUT i have a t999, can i still use integrated wifi calling features?

Just an fyi that any touchwiz based rom that is actually based off of the T-mobile framework has the Wifi calling integrated. Hyperdriive is actually a port from i believe at&t and therefor does not. Try most of the other ones and they do.In my opionion i think the best one right now is S3RX.

Yea, the reason why WIFI calling is only exclusive to T-mobile phones is because it goes directly into the T-mobile cell towers. That is also the reason of why the WIFI calling does use up your minutes (if not unlimited) as well. It will not work on any other network other than T-mobile.

Note that current versions of Dandroid include S3Rx in the caption. Danvdh writes that he "based Dandroid off of [S3Rx]"; and he and enewman17 may include Dandroid as a theme in the Aroma installer for S3Rx "for those who want [Danvdh's] awesome theme but want a full 'bloated' TW ROM."

[Q] WiFi Calling Port for CM Based ROMs?

I may be way off base, but I just upgraded to a new 4.4.2 CM based ROM and the dev believes WiFi Calling is exclusive to Samsung. I am under the impression it is exclusive to T-Mobile firmware. Does that even make a difference?
And can WiFi Calling be integrated into CM based ROMs?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Short answer - WiFi calling is only for T-Mobile and only for Touchwiz Roms. Period.

Thank you for the reply.
Now, I guess the question is why can't the WiFi calling script be implemented into an AOSP source?
Is it a matter of no dev feeling the motivation? It looks like the WiFi calling SDK is available...
code.google.com/p/the-ims-op...t-for-android/
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
WiFi Calling is something integrated deep into the OS. The SDK likely is for allowing apps to work with that closed source OS system, not to duplicate it. It would have to be completely reverse engineered by studying network packets generated by the phone during WiFi calling, figure out the protocol and any encryption used, find any encryption keys needed, and rewrite everything from scratch based around those findings. Not an easy task, and for the most part it's of fairly low reward to most users as normal calling works fine. That said I was reading a discussion recently on /r/linux about the Antrax kernels (forget what device it was for) and the developer witholding source code (which is illegal under the GPL if you distribute binaries). It looked like one of the sources that might be witheld is an open source WiFi calling implementation.
http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?93124-AnthraX-Linux-Kernels-Remain-Closed-Source&p=385801
If he really does have WiFi calling working at the kernel level then we should be pressuring whoever is entitled to make him release code to do so. By the nature of the GPL license anything at all that goes into a kernel binary released to the public MUST be released under the same license (GPLv2) and thus those people who received the binary are entitled to his source code which they can then redistribute.
Wow. Really good info. Thank you for sharing.
I do happen to be in the minority group that has shoddy coverage, so wifi calling is a godsend.
It's unfortunate firms like the one discussed in that post don't have to be 'resolved' quickly, given the volatile responses. Either make them share it asap, or figure out the price points and let everyone know how the game is going to be played...
Here's to hoping a dev feels compelled to go through all the hard work you mentioned nonetheless. Cheers!

My wife has an LG optimus l9 (I think that's what it is anyway) with wifi calling - it's a T-Mobile-variant phone thing more than a particular android skin (TW, Sense, ...whatever LG calls its thing..., etc.).
Isn't wifi calling just on t mobile regardless of the phone
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
WiFi calling is on many T-mo phones, but not all and it's not only Samsung and it doesn't have to be smart phone either. My father has it on some older flip phone, not sure what it is running but I'm sure it's not touch wiz, probably not even Android. I think even some old Nokias had it under Symbian?

In reference to the Note 3 it is only Touchwiz.

Is it fair to assume that if a developer's ROM is TW-based, Wifi calling is implemented as 'standard', or would the developer need to specifically build it in?
I'm curious because I see TW-based ROMs for the Note 3 that don't say anything about Wifi calling as a feature.

It has to be both TW-based AND TMo(carrier)-based (meaning the international TW bases won't have the native Wifi Calling feature).

Just rooted SG3.. which ROM?

Hello, all. I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 with Odin, and I have 4.3
My next step is to remove bloatware. But I noticed that I can also get a Custom Rom; Which ROM supports wifi calling? I live in an apartment and the signal is crappy here so it must have it.
If you have any recommendations please let me know. Thanks!
I just tried S3Rx this week. It's got a great AROMA installer and lots of tweaks on top of 4.3
I would also recommend S3Rx :good: It has WiFi calling like you are looking for, it's stable, fast, has lots of features, and bloat removed. You can choose which features/apps/hacks you want installed when you are setting up in Aroma.
Wifi calling works for sure? I'm not seeing that feature listed on the 1st page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326763
Although I cannot confirm it works (I do not have T Mobile service) I can confirm it is there. It should be fully functional as it is based off the official T Mobile update.
Wi-Fi calling works. I use it too

As XDA is not a support site, and users are expected to do their own independant research to make the determination as to what rom is best for them, this thread is closed.
Best is truly up to the user. Read, learn and interact with ROM developers about their products in the development threads.
