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 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!

these guys on the htc sensation forum figured it out check it out
I have a tmobile GS3 and I was wondering if CM10 includes wifi calling? I had an old lg phone that used a wifi calling app called kineto under the covers, but this time around it looks different, built into the settings menus of the stock rom and not a separate app. I was just curious if the cm10 rom (or any other rom) includes it by default. Thanks!
This is what the settings screen looks like on my phone, does cm10 include this?
No, only tmobile stock based roms have built in native wifi calling. Search next time, please been covered at least 10 times.

True Story. What he said.
Thread closed.
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.

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

As there is a dual-boot option in the works http://www.modaco.com/topic/364246-modacoswitch-pre-release-discussion-topic/ for the S4, the option to run a non-TW ROM is becoming a real possibility for those of us who don't want to give up TW features like WiFi calling. (This one is crucial for me, since I often am places with WiFi, but no cell signal.) However, with dual-boot capabilities, running an AOSP/GE/CM/etc. ROM for daily use, while having a TW ROM to boot to for WiFi calling opens up a whole flood of possible ROMs to choose from. Is there any guide or input regarding the general strengths/features of the alternate ROM groups? Not specific ROMs, but more of "why to use CM", "advantages of AOSP", etc., in larger terms. Thanks!
Seen some old post on this and most of them were for T-Mobile so I say its worth asking for the sprint users.
Is there any Rom that has WiFi calling that is more of a stock Android? (Any Rom that is not a Sense based Rom)
One bump to see if anyone can help me out a little
I'm hoping this option becomes available as well.
