I have read that I can use a ATT ROM on my T-Mobile S4 and was wondering if I did so and then of course flashed a t-mobile kernel, if I would have wifi calling or not. I am not sure if that is part of the rom or not so wanted to just check.

You can flash an AT&T ROM, but flashing a T-Mobile kernel will not enable WiFi Calling, because it is part of the ROM. Sorry.
The way u wanna do it by flashing an att rom on a tmobile s4 more than likely
wont work cause the wifi call feature is built deep into the tmobile roms... AND ALSO WORKS OF THE SIM CARD.
On the other hand You should be able to flash any tmobile rom.... on a att branded s4 and get wifi calling just keep the att kernel..
And keep att baseband.
This should be no diff for s4 because
On the att s3 you can flash tmobile 4.1.2 roms and get wifi calling
If it uses aroma installer and opts to keep kernel...then keep the kernel but continue flashing tmobile rom...
Ive used many tmobile roms in my att s3 with wifi calling.
Havent tried it with a tmo s4 on a att rom.... just make sure u backup stock att rom if all else fails.

Ive done flashed one t889 rom on my i317 att note 2 its basically a modded t889-i317 zip rom that works with the att note 2 and wifi calling works also but its a stockish build with only mulit window support
Are there anyother 4.1.2 roms that are t889 based that I can flash without issues...
As far as it seems ive read that you can pretty much flash any tmobile rom on an att s3 or note 2 and everything is issue free..since the variants are literally built with the same hardware
Any truth to that all I want to do ia flash a few diff roms with WIFI calling a must have for me on the i317.
Instead of sitting here on the stock att rom.

There are three prerequisites for getting wifi calling to work using an AT&T phone.
#1: Unlocked Phone
#2: Tmobile Sim card
#3: Flash a Tmobile 4.2 or 4.3 Jellybean M919 Touchwiz based custom or stock rom.
Once you have met those three requirements your AT&T phone will have wifi calling.
Good luck!

Just wanted to add, use the kernel and modems that are meant for AT&T even though you are running a TMobile rom.

No need to change modems, none of the cwm/twrp flashable zip file roms contains modems and
he needs to use whatever modem he already has, flashing a tmobile modem will most likely cause
signal loss since it's related to hardware and the AWS frequencies on the AT&T phone.
Get it to work?

I have an AT&T S4 myself on T-mobile now and I cannot find a combo that works. I cannot install a recovery on mine without Safestrap and while I can flash rom's with this method, I have yet to find a combo of roms and kernels where everything works. I either get a rom that will not boot at all or a I get one that will boot but no wifi whatsoever (cannot turn on Wifi). I've tried Safestrap 3.65 and 3.71 and a dozen or so roms and kernels and still no combo that works. What I can say is that 4.2 based roms at least boot.
I have an At&t S4, and I want to move it to T-Mobile, but I need the wifi calling. Can I find a rooted stock TW rom with WiFi-Calling and flash it on properly without a problem? Thanks!

WiFi calling is dependent on what carrier/sim you have. You can use WiFi calling on an AT&T device as long as you have a T-Mobile SIM/service, and are using a T-Mobile TouchWiz ROM that has the feature.
From your question, you are going to switch to T-Mobile service, and in that case you should be able to use WiFi calling with no problem; again, provided you use a T-Mobile TouchWiz ROM. If you are staying on AT&T service then no matter what you do, what apps you install, tweaks you make, you cannot make that feature work.
A friend upgraded his phone to the note 3 and gave me his At&t note 2. I am with Tmobile. I am going to have it unlocked. I want to root it and flash a rom to it. Since its was on At&t network do I flash it with a rom from the At&t section or Tmobile section? If i am missing anything else that is required other than which section to use for rom flashing please feel free to inform me.

You can flash just about any rom from the AT&T section because most do not flash over the modem you have installed. I believe the DN3 rom is the only exception to this rule. For AOSP based roms, you can flash any of the roms here. You may also want to check the N7105 XDA area because it has more options than the TMO Note 2 section.
Bajan will probably add more clarification here because he has a TMO and AT&T Note 2 and visits all 3 forum areas.

I have a AT&T i337 lost service then went to local cell store.. Switched to Met==PCS.. 60/month unlimited data.. Plus they are on the T-Mobile network just as good just cheaper.. I haven't been throttled at all that I can tell...
I have the ATT Note 2 and currently using it with TMo and I am getting LTE speed and HSPA+ on the reform 1900 area. You don't have to do anything with the modem as long as you have it unlocked. I have only been using ATT based rom on my phone. And everything works, MMS, data, call etc. I do encounter some issue where it hangs while pulling data (not too often) but for most part it works great. I either just have to turn the network on/off or just a restart. I do not use any of the Tmo software like visual voice mail or wifi calling (as you won't be able to use it with any of the ATT ROM).
I have a One X on T-Mobile from AT&T and so far everything is great. Just have to be in a 1900 MHZ or LTE area to get high speed data.

I also have the i317 on T-Mobile. I am using the latest MK6 modem for the i317. You can also optionally perform the AWS Mod to enable 4G on the 1700MHz band. Whatever you do, make sure you do not flash a modem meant for the T-Mobile Note 2 (T889) or you will end up with a brick. As was already mentioned any of the ROMs in the Development section will work for this device.

You can flash it with a rom from Tmobile Section
Hello,
So I just switched from ATT to Tmobile and now using the Tmobile service. After I put in the tmobile simcard into my unlocked N900A, I got everything from good service to 4gLTE. Now I want wifi calling feature on my N900A, So I rooted the device with towel root and installed SS (of course after SU and BUSYBOX). After I backed up my stock rom, in rom slot 1 I installed tweaked N3 3.8 but the wifi calling toggle got stuck on "enabling". I thought may be something was wrong with the flash so I flashed the tweaked N3 3.9 but it gave the same result. So I thought let me try another Tmobile rom on my ATT note 3 so I flashed the "Effortless ROM" from the tmobile section but still when I see the wifi calling toggle in the setting it is still stuck on enabling.
Is there anyway I can enable the wifi calling feature onto my ATT note 3 4.4.2 NC2. I have seen people posting in ATT note 3 forum that they had luck getting wifi calling with tweaked 3.5 but I don't seem to be that lucky.
I installed the SRX tmobile rom on my galaxy S3 and the wifi calling feature is working great.

Sorry to say, but unless you have a Tmobile N900T phone
you will not be able to have wifi calling.
There are two prerequisites for Wifi calling:
#1: The phone needs to be a N900T from Tmobile.
#2: Your carrier must be Tmobile.
If you only have one or the other prerequisites then you cannot have wifi calling.
Good luck!

Thanks for the quick reply Misterjunky...
I understand what you mean and thats what I was thinking as well until I saw people's post in ATT forum saying they were able to use wifi calling on N900A after installing Tmobile rom. And wifi calling is working great for my ATT samsung galaxy S3 after installing tmobile rom on it with stock att kernel and bootloaders.
#1 requiring Tmobile device is only regarding the Note 3 or all the devices? for using wifi calling
#2 I am on Tmobile carrier just using the ATT devices because I just changed the carrier.
