Greetings,
I'm currently rooted with my Sprint Galaxy S2, however the tether option isn't working. I'm using the ROM here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609255) on my phone. Can anyone shed some light on this one? Just not available in this ROM or what?
Thanks,
USMarineNCO
Wired or wireless tethering? And to what?

Easy Tueffel. You can use the Foxfi (market) or Wifi Tether (search it) apps. If you use Wifi Tether, set the device profile to Samsung Galaxy nexus (CDMA/LTE).

I believe that you flashed a stock rooted rom that does not include the hacked tethering apps.
You may want to consider switching back to Gingerbread if you're just starting out.
Here are the steps for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24158551&postcount=9980
After that, you can flash a custom rom with wifi tethering already hacked.
Edit: The rom you downloaded is ICS based. If you're just learning about flashing your phone, you may want to switch over to Gingerbread based roms using the instructions I provided. It is far safer for a newbie NOT to try ICS until they're ready.
I'm currently running this GB Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837
I wouldn't recommend trying to flash it directly unless you use the method above to get on the correct platform first. ICS and Gingerbread are different operating systems.
Definitely need Wi-Fi Calling in the area where I live.
I have seen apps that offer Wi-Fi Calling from the UVMC 6 Release by TMO but some of them don't.
What files do I need to manipulate (I'm guessing some .so files from lib and .jar files from framework) would I need to put Wi-Fi calling into my ROMs that are UVMC 6 but may not have Wi-Fi calling?
Anybody have any ideas or leads that I can follow?
Thank you.
Seriously...take this advice...Just install a tmo based rom.
This is a catch 22. If you were good enough to add tmo wifi calling to a non-native rom, you'd be building your own kernels from scratch and would be experienced enough to know how. In not saying you're not experienced because I don't know. What I do know is what you're asking for is 1. not easy and 2. not for beginners.
Edit: and I forgot the most important thing...tmo's wifi calling is a closed source feature so there's no code to build from.

Well see that's the thing. I am using a native T-Mobile ROM (uvmc6) latest release with their radio...not sure about kernel but it is just missing the feature WiFi calling.

Do you have wifi calling enabled? Is it enabled on your account? Do you have the proper SIM? Has it worked before for you?

Okay. It is the stock rom; debloated; deoed and zip aligned.
On the past stock ROM (Same radio, same kernel, same release (UVCM6)), I had wi-fi calling working. This is a new ROM (the awesome Embryo 6.11 to be exact) and I am trying to get the files necessary from a native UVCM6 ROM with wi-fi calling working onto the Embryo ROM.
Sum it up:
-Currently Using Embryo 6.11 (debloated UVCM6) ROM without Wi-Fi Calling feature.
-Trying to put the files from a Tmo released stock UVCM6 ROM with Wi-Fi calling feature.
Need the files necessary

My suggestion is ask in the thread if that option is not showing up on your phone. And make sure its not there. If its not maybe re-flash the ROM.
The embryo ROM is based on the skyrocket from AT&T. Its not a native Tmo build. Yes, stuff was added for WiFi calling but the code is not intended to work with it. Try another rom. I sure could use WiFi calling as well but seeing as I need a new sim card(to lazy to get a new one) I switched back to embryo from countless Tmo 4.1.2 ROMs. I guess its the theme that got me lol
To answer your question, no. WiFi calling won't work on the Embryo ROMs.

There's Jedi Mind Trick, Infamous, Jellybeast and a couple other stock ROMs in the dev section that run as smooth as embryo minus the customization. Just give the ROMs some time to add custom features...

Well, I know all this. He did an awesome job with the ROM with customization and everything. I like Embryo probably the best of all the TW Roms. But even with his inclusion of wi-fi calling apk, the framework didn't transfer over for TMO UVMC6. I am hoping in his next release he will work on it.
But, what i was hoping to make was a flashable zip file with the necessary framework and apk to add on to his ROM. I wanted to know if devs knew what files were workable with.
when i was using Infuse 4G, I used this method successfully to get TMO Wifi calling working on ATT based ROM. Of course it wont work on our SGS2 but looks like there maybe a way to enable TMO wifi calling on non TMO based ROMs...

Thank you for your response.
I think I might've actually used a method of some sort like that in the past for Gingerbread ROMs. 2.2 and 2.3, that method worked. It was in that format.
However, with the release of JB; (ICS never had it right) its more of achange on framework files;
I'm guessing its a framework.apk that needs to be modified;
if its a jar file, i can simply make an extension; but i'm guessing also that there is more than that..

In the Embryo thread, IF I'm not mistaken, I think he was going to rebase his ROM with our stock UVMC6.

With the next release? (21st one?)
UVMC6 bit was added last release on the 14th but the framework for Wi-Fi calling wasn't right.
I am hoping he updates it. LOL i'm so even willing to pay his team for it lol

It's my understanding there is quite a bounty for the first developer to build the feature you are looking for. Wifi-Calling is so baked into the tmo roms that countless developers have tried to port/transfer/recode/bla bla bla it over to AOSP/AOPK, etc. and still haven't got it working. However, the code or theory on how to do it is available here https://code.google.com/p/the-ims-open-source-project-for-android/. I also would be using Embryo 6.11 if the wifi calling worked. As stated before Embryo 6.11 was build from a native att rom it will never have wifi calling. Even though the apk was move over, wifi calling is in so many different .apks and frameworks and jars. Some of those files I'm sure you can just copy over like SecMms.apk but the developer of Embryo modified so man files that it's not feasible. There was talk of him rebaseing Embryo on UVMC6 but as far as I know he hasn't done that yet. Now with the Galaxy S5 out, I really don't expect many developers to continue working on the aging Galaxy S2.

Hey, so I don't know if you've found another alternative or something, but there is one ROM that I know of that has the Wi-Fi calling. It's still based off of the Jellybean update but it worked for me. Here ya go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2670624
Hope that helped.

All of @Rushing ROMs are based on 4.1.2 touch wiz and have WiFi calling. Just click his name. Go to threads started, and you'll see his ROM threads.
I haven't seen any KitKat ROMs which have WiFi calling enabled - I've looked. Has it been obsoleted?

Just not possible to port it to aosp ROMs. Has to be touchwiz, for the s2 anyway. So jelly bean 4.1.2 was the last official update, and last with WiFi calling.

Thanks for the note - that makes sense. I was wondering why WiFi calling was conspicuously absent.
I know now with the Jelly Bean Rom I can't just go and freeze Tethering Manager anymore.
So I am wondering if any of the New Roms (with Jelly Bean) allow the free mobile hotspot/tethering?
I looked through all of them and haven't seen that listed as one of the "features" of the Rom.
If anyone knows which (if any) Rom with 4.2/4.3 Has the Wireless hotspot/tethering feature already unlocked it would be great.
Right now Im running on the stock Rom and I would love to get the tethering feature to work. (since i have the "true" unlimited data package)
Thanks!
Basically every rom has free tethering. The only ones that don't are the Odin stock roms.

thanks alot for the answer. so i guess im going to install the cyanogen rom (i have that on my tablet and is pretty good/stable)
I'm looking to enable wifi-calling with my custom roms. Anyone know how to do this?
WIFI-calling isn't available on the latest 2.22 base. You'll need to use a older rom, like Viper 1.8 or InsertCoin 3.0.8 etc...
Once you get that installed, be sure to pick T-Mobile in the install process. It should be enabled by default once you get it installed.

if you REALLY rely on wifi calling, stay stock... I have a 1.8 Viper ROM with wifi calling but it seems semi-borked. Stock is your best option with my experience
