I noticed that the WiFi calling app shows up in the backup/restore tab in Titanium Backup. If I have a backup for it, would I not be able to restore it if I loaded an i9505 ROM that doesn't have WiFi calling built in?

hopefully everyone who has any question about wifi calling being used on aosp,i9505 etc etc sees what im about to say
NO, IT WILL NOT WORK ON ANY THING, and i mean ANYTHING other then a stock based m919 rom.
no, it will not work on aosp. no it will not work on i9505 roms. no it will not work on google edition roms (yet, porting it to those kinds of roms will be much easier since its based on touchwiz code, but still a challenge) yes it will work on an unlocked s4 from another carrier with a tmobile sim.
please guys, start using the search function, this question has been asked 100 different ways in 100 different threads
If it was that easy there wouldn't be a $10k bounty on it.

While this is true now....it will not be true forever.
People are trying to crack it and are getting the app to run smoothly and almost have it authenticating with a t mobile account. So progress is being made.
For the people who don't know the problem with just restoring the backed up app is that the app is just the interface for WiFi calling. The actual ability to do WiFi calling is baked into the framework of the stock ROM with various prices hurried all over the place.

I always thought the reason we can't get WiFi calling on any ROM was NOT because of apks but because of .so and lib files that cannot be decompiled.

I saw the thread in the development section claiming what services and libs and such were needed. I do recall reading another thread back when i had my S2 that said the bootloader or kernel? is part of it as well. Which is why those lib files needed to be edited.

Oh that's right...the libs weren't just hidden they needed to be modded as well. The ICS WiFi calling only took about a month to hack and port. T mobile got more creative on the jellybean version. Though I don't know why. They still can control authentication of a device and user account on their end. Its not like you can just steal t mobile service by installing WiFi calling.

true. But I give T-Mobile credit. I mean why port something that is exclusive to their phones and devices? It's not like it's taking control of your device like a locked bootloader or something like that. I say if you want WiFi calling then use a stock based ROM. There are hundreds out there plus with all the modding going on I'm sure there 90 percent pa aosp features can be added

Before I begin, let me preface by saying how eternally grateful I am to the xda and wider development communities. You guys are awesome.
I'm new to the Epic, and for that matter new to Android, coming from a Windows Mobile device. Right out of the box, I knew I needed to hack this thing to allow for the kind of control I've grown accustomed to. Took me some time to mount it to my computer, a lot longer to root it permanently; then I realized that the most popular rom (at least on this board), Viper, needed me to be on the leaked stock, so I flashed to that, changed file system, and then flashed the VIPERrom 4.0.2c. I was pretty happy for a few minutes. Yay to getting rid of bloat ware! Yay to LauncherPro.
But then I realize, this thing doesn't have built-in wifi tethering. I thought that was THE big new feature back in Android 2.2, and the top ROM for my device doesn't have it? The only mention I see in the Viper thread is a suggestion that Barnacle worked for some people. Well that little program didn't work for me, and while I got a little further with Muller's "Wireless Tether", none of these apps are really doing it for me.
Is there no ROM for Samsung Epic that tethers out of the box? Am I the only one that considers connection sharing a really important feature for a 4G device? What's the deal here?
The app your looking for is Wireless tether for root users. Its the best of its kind. Not really sure how it works on viper but its fine on epic experience. And this is the development section.. something like this should go in general.

You're right, I wasn't thinking about where this should go. Can I delete/move the thread?
Your going to have to go back to di18 firmware and search. [WIP]MobileAP epic. There is a link in that thread to the hacked sprint hot spot. This should get you were you want. As for a good di18 use aphis and Xtreme kernel. Good luck. make sure you search too. you will get flamed hard for posting in the wrong section..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
wireless tethering is very buggy ATM on all Epic 2.2 builds, we don't have source for the kernel and to tether, theres changes that need to be made to the kernel. The best option for tethering and stability would be to stay with a 2.1 rom like Syndicate 1.0.2. It supports wired and wireless tether, both built in to the rom. You can use 2.1 roms with the DK28 modem or any of the others.

What is it your trying to tether off your epic?Wireless tether for root users should works for laptops if it is another android device like a tablet your trying to tether the tablet or other android device will need to be hacked to be able to allow it to see adhoc networks.If it is just a laptop though one of the versions wireless tether for root users should work though roms can be picky as to which version of wireless tether they will use.

I'm using Wireless Tether for Root Users on ViperROM 4.0.2c and it works like a charm. It was baked in for me...? However it wasn't working so I uninstalld and reinstalled from the market. It works very very well. Until we get mobileAP working on dk28, this is the best.

All very interesting, and new to me. In reality, I think the Muller wireless tether app was working on Viper, but I wasn't getting past the local network. I've got it figured out now, but it's not quite what I had been hoping for. Regarding the source for the kernel, aren't they obligated to release that code based on the open source licensing? Is it just really laborious to merge the older Sprint kernel source with the relevant Froyo code?
In the meantime, I'll have to look into the 2.1 ROMs as you mention.

Dont listen to them, its a good valid question....but I would say you use your own judgment, Use TB to delete or freeze apps you dont think you are not going to use.
If you do a search there is a post,I don't remember where, but it has a spreadsheet of everything you"need" for the phone to work. Everything else is only needed if it pertains to an app you use or need. You will have to do some reading, it is an apk spreadsheet. It will answer your question better than me trying to type the 40 things I delete on almost every ROM. In fact I would love to see some of these new roms come in a "vanilla" form, and then I can add what I want. I came from the international version of this phone, so I am spoiled with all the development..

Well now that you're rooted why not flash a rom?
Most roms have all the unwanted apps removed already.
Another way if you're not sure is go to your app drawer, find the ones you don't want and just freeze those.
Example: I don't use Media Hub, T-Mobile ID, All share, Wifi Sharing, etc. So I go ahead and freeze those.
Its all personal preference.
Good luck.

I would use eaglesblood. It is vanilla. Or at least I think it is he uses launcher2 with his own tweaks. I love eaglesblood donniqcc is one of the best devs out there in my opinion. It is by far the best ROM on the G2x I was soooo happy when I saw that he made one for the sgs2. The only thing is it is still in the early stages I think only version 1.0 right now but he is working on an update I cant wait. He is supporting 3 phones so it will take some time but once he gets goiong there is no stopping him. But it definitely has a vanilla feel to it.

I am not being rude or anything but eaglesblood is not vanilla. I looked at his rom, all he did was take the stock rom and place Launcher2 inside. A true vanilla rom is built from google source tree (AOSP) and takes a long time to build from. The closest thing to vanilla is CM roms which still are not even vanilla because Cyan puts his own stuff in there. If you want to know what true vanilla is look back to the phone that started it all the G1. That phone is a true vanilla phone. He does have a great rom and I agree for somebody who wants no bloatware they can try that. But yo say its vanilla is inaccurate. Sorry completely off topic, didn't mean to sound rude just clearing things up. People use the term vanilla rom so loosely these days....if you have been around since the G1 you know what vanilla.

My biggest hold back on installing CM10 or AOKP was the lack of Cell Broadcasts built in. But low an behold I was able to restore it from a Titanium Backup. I figured I'd go ahead and share it here for all. And maybe for myself if I ever lose it!
This for sure installed on AOKP. At least it installed, I'll have to wait until Wednesday when they do the test to confirm it works.
To install (this is old, the link at bottom has a flashable zip.):
1. Copy the "CellBroadcastReceiver.apk" into "/system/app"
2. Change the permissions to "rw- r-- r--"
3. Restart
It wont be a normal app, but it should appear under Settings --> More... --> Cell broadcasts

It may not be for everyone. But for me, in Arkansas, I find it useful for Tornado warnings. The AMBER alerts are good too. Apps use data and GPS, thus killing your battery. This is a more stable system than some app. Most of the time my phone's WiFi is connected to some shoddy open Linksys router and in and out of proper data service anyway.
Cell Broadcast is like receiving a free text. Good for those on limited data plans, or those that need to be safe!

I think this was standard on the STOCK build, I can not remember since I rooted and flashed CM10 nearly the same day I got the phone. The point of this as the OP states is that once you flash CM10 you lose this functionality. He provided a way to recover that functionality.
Why does this get stripped out when they build the ROMs? I can't imagine anyone actually thinking it'd be a good idea to remove this, is it an oversight?
Cell broadcasts are true broadcasts, so there are no network overload issues when sending them out.
And they work as soon as there is coverage. If you are roaming somewhere without data, the broadcasts will still work.
Doesn't Google Now have something like this built in?
"Public Alerts" card? ... I do remember when a hurricane was coming to NYC, I never received any alerts. Although I was told by some people, it was in text messages.
Thanks to the OP for the app, obviously some people wanted it.
I find this funny though because my parents and I spent xmas weekend trying to figure out how to turn this crap off on their iphones, never did find a way, fortunately my n4 (stock at the time) did not have this annoyance.
This should be a flashable zip, with an addon.d script to keep it alive between ROM updates. I suppose I'll make a zip for myself.

I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 on the AT&T network none rooted. Since the 4.3 update I cannot get any tethering applications to work (tried Foxfi and SVTP paid which I had been using for almost a year prior to).
As of 4.3 I keep getting the pop up "To enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611" message any time I try to enable a mobile hotspot application.
So my question is, has anyone found a good workaround without rooting? If root will be mandatory can someone suggest an idiots guide to rooting? Because I have zero experience with rooting an android device.
Thanks in advance.
You're not alone. I'm having the same issue. I can't root because my company pays for the phone and they use Mobile Iron to push email, calendar, etc.. Hoping someone comes up with a nice work around that PDANet / FoxFi can leverage to get the wifi hotspot working again. In the mean time, using the Bluetooth tethering option on PDANet seems to still be working..

If any I747M users flash it and are successful or unsuccessful please let me know so I can post whether this is effective for that as well.
I don't know if you can use this or not, I am rooted and have a custom stockish rom and kernel.

You should research where this can be used and how to use it before doing anything I found it in one of the threads I was getting a rom from and took a chance by flashing it over my current rom. It worked but I'm not on stock anything.

After a bunch of issues with it (couldn't get CWM to run, had to use AGAT to install CM, which then brought along a version of CWM that does work), I finally got everything up and running, but 4G isn't available (3G works fine, if a bit slower than I remember, but I've not run any speed tests). I've gone to the #*#*4636*#*# menu and tried every preferred network type – it defaults to WCDMA Preferred, which, if I understand correctly, means 3G only, but even when I set it to LTE Only, for example, there's still no 4G. I've also flashed pretty much every JB modem (and some ICS ones too) I could find (thanks rwilco12!); with some, I couldn't get 3G or voice to work, but even with those that do, 4G just isn't there. No mention anywhere in the system settings menus, nothing.
My best guess at this point is that it's an APN issue, but that's just based on what I've read elsewhere. I also haven't been able to find instructions on how to modify APNs on this device, or what the APN settings really do.
Any help on this would be much appreciated – this is my first time posting, but I've benefitted greatly from the forums in the past. Hope someone here can help me out.
4G Wimax was removed from the source code in 4.3 and up (KitKat has no Wimax as well). CM10.2 is Android 4.3, that means no 4G for us unless you are using 4.2.2 (CM10.1) and below. And no there is no way around it. Google did this because no Wimax device will ever have official 4.3 so they decided to trim down the code.

Wow. So is my best bet just downgrading to 10.1? Or is there some way to put Wimax support back in?

No, no way around it. The source code is gone. Unless you know somebody who works for Google on Android and happens to have the missing source code, don't count on it. Yeah CM10.1 still has 4G Wimax.
Well okay then. Thanks for the help! Guess 10.1 it is, then.
Okay, I installed the 10.1 ROM found here. The mobile data settings now include 4G – but it still doesn't work. Modem is FL24. Any ideas for what to try next?

What do you mean by doesn't work? Doesn't turn on? Doesn't connect? Gives you an error? My suggestion is to Odin a stock ROM and make sure nothing is messed up hardware wise.
I'm not sure how to tell whether or not it turns on, but even once I enable it in the settings, I don't see a 4G icon in the status bar, either searching or connecting. It worked fine back on stock Android; I can certainly try to go back to that (although I haven't been able to find a ZIP, only .exe and I'm on Mac), but if I can stick with CM, I'd prefer to...

Go into System Settings, click on the 4G (may be under Mobile Data, it's been awhile since I've been on AOSP) and it should have a screen similar to this (screenshot is TouchWiz, but you get the point) this is how you'll be able to tell if it's turning on/scanning/connecting.
OK, that's what I thought. So I can turn it on, but no networks show up. It says Scanning, but never finds anything. I'm in downtown SF, so I think it's pretty unlikely that's the issue.
Have you had wimax before? On a touchwiz or AOSP ROM?
The wimax rollout was halfassed at best, multiple major markets never saw it cause LTE rolled out soon after.

Welp, turns out I was wrong about that. 4G worked when I took it elsewhere in the city. Sorry for the confusion there; looks like this is resolved. I appreciate all of y'all's help!
