I'm looking for help enabling bluetooth tether on my stock, unrooted t999 running JB. Is this the only way? If so, does anyone mind walking me through it? I was quite an expert on Windows Mobile, but now I'm still learning the under hood side of Android.
I have also unlocked and moved to AT&T. Obviously I've lost wifi calling. Is there anything else I should know or do with the t999?
Dove in and installed a rom with bluetooth tether server built in. Now I've discovered that my Nexus 7 2013 doesn't have the client side. I think reverting it to JB may solve that.
Just make sure you read the sticky threads, and any relevant q&a threads as well. One thing to be careful of is if updated to 4.3 firmware you cannot downgrade or you'll brick. You can flash older roms and kernels, but not the full firmware.

Looking to put a better rom than the stock, bloated one that came from US Cellular. I'm in the states, and every working rom I find seems to allow calls or data and can't connect to my network. What's the best rom to run on my phone?
Bump, anyone? I read somewhere I need to flash the radio to get it to work, but I don't know where to find the file for the radio to be flashed. I wouldn't mind using the cyanogen mod even with it's horrible tearing issues if I can get the phone to actually work.

I am Having The Same Problem With My WS I am Also On Us Cellular And Would Love To Hear If There Is A Fix For This yet
curious
US Cellular is CDMA, right? If so, you want to look into PRL rather than radio. Stock radio should be fine... PRL [if your downloaded rom supports it] is what will get your data working I think. Also, when you guys power up into hboot does it show marvelc or marvelct? If either of you two care to, pm me and I'll try to work a rom up fot you.

Test Rom
Working up a test rom for US Cellular. Will send it to my contributor first to test; If all goes well, I'll start a thread over in the development section for you guys.

Hey guys... tested the "stock" rom I made for you guys, and it works on VM USA as well. I don't suppose anyone would be brave enough to test the VM USA one on their US Cellular phone [of course make nandroid before test, then flash back to it on conclusion]? It sucks really; VM disabled FM Radio and Wifi Hotspot [which I am re-enabling for a final release on that thread... but I think I'll build on your rom... It's just cleaner. Probably will make a debranded thread so the "stock" threads can fade down the development thread. So ideas of what you guys would like to see?
ie
Odexed and/or Deodexed?
Apps that should be added?
ie Terminal Emulator, Adobe Flash [full to replace lite], WiFi tether, etc.
Bloat you'd like removed?

Tested the Vm Rom on my us cellular worked fine. Was weird seeing the Vm boot up. But like u said no fm n WiFi hotspot on it sux. Now as for wut I would like to see for a new Rom. Data2sd would be nice I know I have seen that after awhile it starts to lag a bit. But I would still like to have the option to use it or least test it. Unbranded. Deodex. All the stock uscell apps can go cuz I never use em anyways but if Ur building off my original Rom I think the only uscell app I hadn't removed already was tone room deluxe. And like I had said to you earlier once I get going on my own Rom and get better at it. We can just go hog wild

I am new with rooting and modifying my phone.
I first root the phone, then install AOKP Task650 (Android 4.2.2) Kernel 3.4.49-Underwear and Version is "d2att (4.2.2 JDQ39) Build 6.24.2013
after that i install rom manager, google apps, and everything is working perfectly EXCEPT wifi.
it is very weird cause wifi Turn On/Off button is nor clicklable; it is there, but when i turn on it is transparent grey and after couple seconds, it become solid grey.
I searched and find that if i replace /system/bin "wpa_supplicant" with one on other sites, it might work, and it is not working?
I looked everywhere, either i am stupid and dont know how to find or there is a specific things to look; if you guys can help me it will be great.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
Ok first of all, you're not in the right forum. This is for the Sprint S3, not Verizon.
Second of all, why are you flashing a rom made for the AT&T variant? That's why you're losing wifi, nothing to do with the rom itself.
Even though they are the same phone, there are differences between the carrier variants, so go find your device's forum and stick to flashing roms posted there.
EDIT: Nvm, that is the d2att. You should still post in your own forums though.
Please use the correct forum. You have a Verizon phone, you tried to flash an ATT rom and you posted in the Sprint forums. Try here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37038544

Hi, a nearly noob question.
I have Galaxy S33 T999L with SlimKat, android 4.4.4, baseband AMB7, but I believe it doesn't have Wifi calling. I use Teamwin v2.8.4.0 recovery.
I am looking for any good stable ROMs that are:
1. Android 4.3 or 4.4 with 4.4 preferred
2. Wifi calling build-in
3. App Ops provided, OPTIONAL, (for permission control on apps)
4. As lean as possible, but useful features are welcome
Some of the threads are over 3 pages here I did jump thru a few, still kind of lost since these threads started in 2012.
This is my back up phone returning from a loan to a friend. I am not using it now (no SIM inside), just trying to UP this phone before I can reuse it again (Been using Avant for a few months now).
I would appreciate anyone can post a link, or share some advice on which ROMs you would recommend. Many thanks,

For wifi calling to work you will need to stick to stock based ROMs so eliminate all others and then try out a couple of those to see if they have what you are looking for.
I have a pristine looking insurance replaced Note II that I'd like to Root and Rom with a stable Rom that retains T-Mobil's WiFi Calling feature.
Also, I'm getting the unlock code for the device sent to me by T-Mobile; which I'd like to do as well. I do have a T-Mobile SIM for it and can get at an AT&T SIM to unlock it if necessary.
As far as Root/Rom goes; I'm fairly certain this limits me to Android 4.3 and below; since T-Mo hung Note II users out to dry for a factory 4.4.x update; and I need the WiFi calling feature to work properly.
This specific device showed up with the following on it and is currently locked.
Firmware: 4.1.2
Baseband: T889UVBMD1
Kernel 3.0.31-935627
Build No: JZ05K.T889UVBMD1 (probably redundant info)
I have 2 Questions to start:
1. Should I unlock this before or after flashing root/ROM?
2. What Root/Rom(s) is (are) stable and let's the T-Mobile WiFi calling feature working properly. (I've seen Info on Jedi Rom, not sure which of them would be best or if there are others that keep WiFi Calling)
Some advice on this would be sincerely appreciated; since I have no experience with unlocking and/or root/ROMs; though I've been reading and really can't find info on my first question.
TIA to anyone that can point me in the right direction.

1) If you are getting the unlock code from T-mobile then it does not matter if you unlock before or after you root your phone.
2) I would advise to read through the forums in dev section and decide for yourself which ROM better suits your needs. Only Stock based TW ROMS retain/support WiFi calling and those are the ones to look out for. A quick glance for feature list under OP should let you know if WiFi calling is supported.

Thank you very much ciphercodes.
Yeah its a tmo unlock code, so one less thing my noobishness to worry about..
I have been reading through the dev section trying to figure that out and it looks like the Jedi roms retain wifi calling, and to keep it we can't go past tmos 4.3 stock ROM rev.
Not sure what TW and OP means. I can see why it would have to be based on tmo stock ROM though.
I'll dig more in the dev section.
Thanks again

Sorry, I should have been clear, TW - Touchwiz this is Samsung propriety front-end interface and Wifi calling is only supported in Touchwiz ROMS.
OP - I mean Original Post or the first post where all information about ROM is listed. OP also stands for Original Poster.
Its been a while since I have been in this forum and things are always changing.
Has anyone found a way to have the TMO wifi calling work on any of the custom roms above the last factory update of 4.1.2? Last I heard it had to be a TW based rom but I thought in one of the other forums (GS4 maybe?) someone had managed to get it working elsewere, but I could be mistaken.
