Can We discuss how the wi-fi calling works, and if it is possible to put that portion of the software into a custom rom like CM? Im not a developer but i would love to be a test monkey and do what i can. Im assuming the wi-fi feature is not an apk and is deeper than that ?
Wifi calling isn't brand new in the Note 3. And it's never, across all iterations, been ported to an AOSP rom. It's not going to happen. But, at least you made a thread in the development section asking for something obviously widely wanted to happen. Maybe this is the spark needed.

i have asked around and not been able to find a rom with it enabled.. and i dont understand why not. its a GREAT feature.. practically the only reason i went t-mobile.. im willign to dig in my phone and find what I need if someone will direct me. Im not completely technically illeterate but not a code writer either.
well.. i guess Jedi has it so that might be the best choice for now..
In the sensation and nexus 4 threads, we tried everything. Im guessing its still nearly impossible.

It's baked within the framework of the system. If you do a search you'll find threads here where people have worked on this and gotten almost nowhere. I believe there's also a bounty thread somewhere to get this to happen. I think that was in the nexus 4 area.

The N4 never came with it in any form. Since the note comes with it at least in touchwiz, in theory there may be hope.

I read on the at&t note 1 that wifi calling is build into the framework.
The only way I was able to get wifi calling on the I717 is flashed a t mobile stock yo it
@ OP - I hear that. That would open a much needed can of worms. My guess is it has something to do with One or all three of the circled jar files. I am also no code writer but would also be willing to test this out.
Edit: "don't have permission to attach pictures" under /system/framework, the files I am referring to are...
TmoWfcUtils.jar
voip-commo.jar
telephony.jar
This is only a suggestive starting point if someone does take this on. I really don't know if it would be possible, as it may be patented by t mobile, and that could be why it hasn't been done already...?

lots of other phones have come with it and gotten no where, I'm actually really confident this will never happen without a change from T-mobile side.
and believe me..I desperately want it, I have to use wifi calling most of the day, would love some aosp rom fun too
trust me...if I could do this it would already been done...I am speaking for all of the devs also...
I use wifi calling, in the rare times I do TALK on my phone. Imagine that. Haha.
Anyways, I will probably run a similar setup on my GN3 when I receive it. On my GN2, I have been running stock deodexed, rooted, rom with NOVA Launcher. No complaints. Having the setup I really had no need to switch to anything else. I have, in the past, flashed many roms on previous phones, trying to find "the one" best rom.
I could probably do without wifi calling, but I use my s-pen all the time.
That is STRICTLY a TMO feature, and CAN NOT be implemented into ANY other rom other than the tmo official releases, if this could have been done, it would have been accomplished at least back to the G3 days....they still have not figured that one out yet.

I checked the applications list on a unrooted stock verizon rom, and nothing there with "IQ" or "CIQ" in it's name, seems clean. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place though.
Yea the problem with that is it may be under a different name.

Checked the red DI2 while it was still stock on HB.98 and afterward on RMK's Ginger Sense, rechecked it on SK's Zeus 1.3 - looked clear of CIQ.
However, while it's stripped of most if not all VZW bloatware, it is still running many Google & HTC apps on the device, I wouldn't be sure as others said. Besides, as long as location-based is checked & it's using data - one can be sure "Big Brother" is watching/monitoring somewhere .... the Patriot Act or otherwise, LOL.
Use common sense, it's a smartphone with a browser .... Facebook, Twitter, SMS/MMS, IM, Talk & GV, etc. !
If anyone wants to check to be sure that the Ciq stuff is gone, use This
It's an easy check. Will also take care of any other loggers as well if there are any.
Verizon went on record as saying they don't use CIQ, so I guess we can trust them on that...
They may not use CIQ, but you can bet they have some form of data analytiçs on their devices.

No problem. I just ran the HTC Logging Tools test and there are 4 hits on that one.
System/app/qxdm2sd.apk

System/bin/htc_ebdlogd
I know the first 3 are all parts of the same app. Not sure what the last one is but it appears to be some kind of log. I assume its the log created by the app but thats just a guess.
Let me know if there is anything else you want me to test because I will probably be rooting my phone this weekend.

Do you mean the stock update in a zip format to flash on the phone? check the Samsung site?
Or do you mean roms supporting the new jb release.. if so check the development threads, plenty of the devs are working on updates for it, most likely not out yet
I was looking for the same thing.
In my case, stock rooted JB CWM flashable. I would like to move to JB without chancing the counter. I figured since I have CWM already I would like to flash JB without touching CWM. I haven't seen an ROMS based on the official JB release, or are there?
Bacon rom is stock debloated. Rogers based though. Just need to add att apn
I'm looking for the same thing. Been searching for hours and can't find just a stock rooted AT&T 4.1.1 cwm flashable zip. Does anyone know where one is? Can't believe it is this hard to find.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
I have been looking for one as well for days.
I just want a AT&T LK3 which has been rooted, Dodexed, zip aligned with SupeSU in there.
I want to modify it myself, so I want to start from the beginning.
Unfortunately people in here aren't on the ball like over in the Tmobile or Sprint forums. Over there the day their's got offically released, there was an Odin install and a CWM install also immediately. But here no one has released one yet.
Bummer is I don't know how to do it myself or I would. There are many experienced people on here whom I am sure could do it in like 10 minutes. I really wish someone would.
I can't stand people who complain about the devs here. The sense of entitlement makes me sick.

Ok I'm glad I make you sick...so lets move on.
My point was that the devs/whomever on here are well experienced on doing this sort of thing and can do something this simple in practically no time. As I said, the other forums had all that on day one.
I am not asking for a fully modded rom, I just want the basics so I can mod it myself.
I don't think I am acting entitled, I can't change my oil in my car or fix my dishwasher, so I call people who actually know how to do it. Same thing here.
I appreciate what everyone does here, but you KNOW that they have a CWM flash just sitting on their hard drives that they fixed up BEFORE they started doing any mods, so I am just asking anyone who already did what I was asking for to release that cause you know the devs already did it anyway. I would say PRETTY PLEASE if it would help.
I am not trying to be a pain or come off that way.
I can modify a rom myself, but I need a starting point to work with is all.
Here's some Pepto for your stomach.

Hey all. I'm happy to say that I'm coming back to the gs3. Development seems to have exploded since I was last here (which is awesome). I just have a couple of questions I'm hoping someone can help me with. First off I see some 4.2.2 roms (like cm10.1). When I was on the note 2 flashing one of those roms would do some crazy sh*t to my sd card (basically create a new directory called "0" and move stuff there). Undoing it was kind of a mess when going back to an older rom. Does the same thing happen on the gs3?
Secondly, I quickly looked over some of the newest roms available under the original dev thread and most of them, under "what's not working," simply say "you tell me." Now, from previous experience this usually means there are next to no bugs. Is this true? If not, what are the most commonly seen bugs now on the "built from source" roms like cm10.1, slim bean, PAC man, and aokp? Also miui (these are my favs).
Thanks in advance guys!

It depends...there are a lot of ports in the thread so i don't know how they would effect your library. Each ROM has their own up/downfall depending on what you want from your phone, but that's up to you.
As far as your second question, again it is hit and miss. The devs usually post something they run on their own phone and ask for ideas from the community on what they would like added, if possible. Do a nand and flash around until you find a good candidate for your needs.

Thanks for the response. While I am aware that every rom is different and that flashing them is the best way to get my questions answered, the issue of 10.2 roms creating a new directory on the sd card was a well known issue on the note 2 forums. And it only applied to 10.2 roms. Again does anyone know if the same thing happens on the gs3?

It's something that TWRP has tried to mitigate within their recovery, but they still recommend not flip-flopping back and forth.

I'm not asking for a tutorial on rooting or flashing, nothing generic. Just some helpful specifics. I saw somewhere that they were talking about resetting Wallet before flashing a new ROM or else it may be blocked on the phone, I guess, forever. I'm also unfamiliar with the modems and the updates yall have gotten. Etc, etc. And as I said, not looking for another, what is the benefit of rooting, what is CWM and TWRP, can I get rid of all the darned Sprint apps baloney.

The worst part about the android community, unfortunately, is the fragmentation of general knowledge. The rooting process for a Nexus is probably identical to a Note 2 but the names of everything and builds and versions are all different, so you have to learn new 'words' like it is a new language. Fortunately you have a great community so you just have to learn how to search for things. Check the general section for android development I think there is a sticky that has a glossory of terms that explains all the acronyms.
I've had mine for 3 months but I would still welcome a crash course as well.
Well I prefer twrp as my custom recovery. Depending on your firmware version you can root without your phone ever going to download mode. I did. I used exynos abuse to get root. Then used mobile odin to flash a new rom. Always reset google wallet if you are reseting or flashing a new rom. Its tempermental. I would stay around only the sprint veraion for now. There is a way to use roms from other note 2 variants. I believe its in the dev section. Recovery is standalone. So swirching roms doesnt change it. You cannot talk on the phone and be on the internet at the same time unless you are using wifi or 4glte. If you like to draw or doodle there is sketchbook mobile which is awesome. Btw ma7 is the most current firmware that I know of. Also you can sideload the google wallet apk with no extra work to get it working. Goodluck and read alot.

ClockWork Mod and TeamWin Recovery Project. Both have custom recovery pieces. I personally had some troubles with CWM on this phone and just use Odin now. I head TWRP works better than CWM on the Note 2, but Odin is the Tool Samsung suggests. Note that TWRP is MUCH more feature-rich than Odin. You might choose TWRP (or CWM) if you wanted to flash stuff from your SD card rather than from your PC- good for jumping around between kernels on the fly, for example.
Odin and the other two are all ways to flash stuff to your phone. That's all Odin does; the other two have lots more features.

Heck yeah! Simplest way is to root it and uninstall everything you don't like (Root App Delete from the Play Store seems to work pretty well; be sure you have a backup before you start blowing stuff away).
If you'd like to take it a step further, get a custom ROM that's been debloated; they normally require a full wipe, so bye bye sprint stuff. (Again, root it and back it up first!)

I appreciate you taking the time to go through all that, but I think maybe I didn't explain too well what I was trying to get. I wasn't asking for the general info, just things specific to CDMA and the L900. Like what was replying about. Not trying to be a jerk, but I know there's already a thousand threads on recoverys, ROMs, and rooting. Just didn't wanna do anything to my phone that would be irreversible (i.e. The resetting Google Wallet thing) or something that would cause signal issues (I read stuff on flashing certain ROMs on certain modems may create issues). Stuff like that. Like I said though appreciate the time you took, and any info you may have like that would certainly be appreciated.

Oh I forgot. If you are on ljc expect to not go back to it if you update to ma7. For some reason lots of people have had trouble going back. It would cause slot of problems. Ma7 is just fine for me though. Great battery life and what not. I would say do the update. If you are going custom rom and are currently unrooted just do the ota. Or there is a firmware file around here to flash. I updated firmware before going to ma7. Although I was already rooted using exynos abuse. Ma7 eliminates the exploit. So be prepared to do that before going to ma7. If there is anything I am missing that you still need answers to or don't understand just ask. Its also a good habit to update profile and prl when switching roms or modems.

I picked up something along those lines from reading around. It took all of 15 minutes out of the box before I got all rooted with new ROMs being flashed after playing around on stock just to get a baseline with all the ROM hoping that was sure to follow. Needless to say I didn't read up on anything modem wise before doing all this as I, admittedly, jumped the gun a little (I was just so excited to have a whole new community with new dev teams and all these foreign ROMs to explore). I used Max's trusty galaxynote2root site to root (love that guy). And used the GalaxyNote2RootSprint.zip to obtain root. Then, went straight into the original development section and immediately flashed the absolutely amazing Liquid Smooth. Now I should say, I did receive a message saying the was an update to the phone through sprint and I did proceed with the OTA while dling the zip and giving root instructions a quick once over. So, I'm guessing that took care of going to ma7 for me? Cuz I'm definitely using the ma7 modem. Now I did leave my beloved aosp as I did want to see if I would actually use all the S pen features that aosp sadly doesn't offer us. I jumped around from Whapasaurous to Venom Ice a d finally to Macks All Star, but I'm assuming that unless it's totally different from GSM that flashing a new ROM has no effect on your modem (but by all means correct me if I'm wrong). So just wanna make sure I went about things the right way here.
P. S. I did use the zip to revert the sd cards file format when returning from aosp so I didn't have to deal with all that "0" and "legacy" nonsense.
Thanks again!

I thought at first I may have been accidently hitting it, but upon further review, nope, not me. Sounds more like a ROM issue to me though, but as it seems like it may pertain I figured I'd bring it up

Sprint Connection Optimizer will do that

You need to turn off sprint connection optimizer in setting more settings I believe

I think you should have stayed with Tmobile and there 70 dollar unlimited because in a few months to a year you would have had lte and hspa+42 &21 as a fall back before you went to slow data. Im making the jump slowly but surely. My wife is getting the S4 on Tmobile and when the note3 comes out ill be going as well im sick of cdma amd the slow data when there is no LTE

I really only made the move due to the fact that T-mobile is the only service provider that gets absolutely no coverage inside my work, and, unfortunately, I work 12 hour days, 4-5 days a week. So, being as my contract was up, I didn't wanna sign up for 2 more years with lte "coming soon." I know you all with Sprint know how that has the possibility of turning out. Plus, just because they were getting lte doesn't mean I'm going to see any improvement at work. Now I'm getting consistent 3g inside work and I'm loving it. Actually typing this inside, infamously, the worst service area in the entire building and still getting an almost constant connection. Occasionally I am getting 4g, not often, but it's happened. Playing around with modems tonight though. Did end up trying LJC after being on MA7,no problems so far, actually seeing improvement. Thanks for the heads up on the Sprint Connection Optimizer, gonna check that out now. Super annoying, especially as I do work 12 hour shifts and with wifi turning randomly on, don't wanna look to see my battery down to nada. That's just the kinda info I was hoping to get here, thanks again!

Yeah the wifi thing Will kill your battery. Sprint is not as bad as everyone thinks and says I have great LTE in 90% of where I go. I'm thinking of going to T-Mobile because I'm sick of cdma devices we are always are considered last ro none over GSM. If sprint keeps up the good work with the LtE and 3g ill be saying. Glad you hot it figured out for rh the most part.

I have been testing out some roms and like most of them but there is some feature that each is missing that just bugs me and I can't use the rom or the rom will be incredible bogged down and slow even without many apps installed. I don't play games, just have some websites to peruse and social network apps.
I'm on Jedi 6 . I tried Infamous, CM10 and AOPK and some others that wouldn't even boot or the lock screen was missing.
What I'm looking for is stable, doesn't have to be the latest greatest, smooth and the notifications and ringer must be linked. I can't stand having them separate and Yes i use tasker but it's a bandaid not a fix.
I know I need to test everything to find what I like but I can't, it's exhausting and I'm already tired from the few months I've had this and the voice issues I have. I really want to leave Android altogether but money wise it's not in the cards for me.
So I am asking for help, help a fellow not be insane from his phone.
Seriously ....if you don't learn up, do some reading and trouble shoot issues....you'll never be happy with any rom. A little bit of work is sometimes required.....then any rom should work great.
What we do with these phones is amazing....but we are basically "hacking" them....and there will always be glitches to smooth out. If that's not your cup of tea....Odin the stock rom, unroot and call er a day.
Good luck!

I was stock. Had issues with that as well. I'll take this as sell your phone and get an iPhone you newbie. That's fine. Waiting on the September conference. Was just looking for some input to help me out.

Woah,woah,woah bro did you just say iPhone. The sacred word Lol.
But bro although some of us at XDA might sound harsh at times please look at the material and the points that we are trying to bring across to you. And I think kj brought the point across perfectly. ROMs will have bugs and sometimes people aren't there to help so you will have to dig around and find things out yourself.
And if you have trouble with certain ROMs all I can say is talk to the thread maintainers of the ROMs you are running and ask them for performance enhancing suggestions.
Also make sure you are on the latest radio, and that you are doing a full wipe prior to installation.
And to answer your last question, go to settings-sounds-volumes and uncheck the link ringtones and notifications box. And you are good to go.
If my suggestions aren't working. Send me a pm and I will do everything I can to help you out.
Hit that thanks if I helped

My friend ....you seem to have missed the point of my post. Yes....you will almost always have issues. But unless you actually have a hardware issue.....they can almost always be fixed. But if you flash, have an issue....give up and flash something else....then you'll probably be happier with an iPhone. Most definitely.
Androids and rooting and using custom roms takes some work. If stock caused you issues too....then either something strange is going on or you may very well have a hardware problem.
I'm not attacking you....I'm trying to help and being realistic.
