[Q] TMO S3 ROMs with WiFI Calling? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

So I have searched around and so far I have been unable to find a custom ROM that mentions support for TMO's WiFi calling. Are there any such ROMs or am I just SoL?
If there are not any that support it, any suggestions for the best running S3 ROM? I am about to deploy (hence the desire for WiFi calling) and I am still running on an old 4.1.2 Hyperdrive ROM. I'd like to update my ROM to a KitKat based one before I go, but I don't have a lot of time to tinker with it on the offhand chance that it does not install clean. So I am looking for something solid. If the kernel needs to be updated to run a particular ROM, please note that in your replies so that I can find the right one if needed.
S3 Model# SGH-T999 (non LTE)
Baseband Ver. T999UVUEMJ4
Kernel: 3.0.31 - 370274 (I remember this is a custom kernel, but I don't remember who made it, just that it is from 2012)
Build# JZO54K.T999VRBMB1

enewman17 has a rom based on Tmobile code. Its called S3Rx 3.0, and it does have WIFI calling... Works quite well.. Its

Only ROMs built from stock T-Mobile firmware will have WiFi calling. S3Rx 3.0 is a good choice.

CM 10.1 Android 4.2 released for the n7100 and n7000

http://androidcommunity.com/cyanogenmod-10-1-android-4-2-comes-to-galaxy-note-ii-20121219/
Just wondering if someone knows the work required to get this to all LTE devices including our t889?
4.2 would probably pull me off teshxx's seriously solid 4.1.2
Madmack over the att Note 2 has a working cm10.1 4.2 for all lte variants. Unfortunately, the voice in call is not working atm. He and other devs are working together for a fix. So I would say soon we will have a working cm10.1 for our phone.

There's actually a guide in the international forum to flash any n7100 rom to a N7105 or Carrier version.

Yes any STOCK ROM. Unfortunately our radio chip is different then the 7100's. Our radio chips also uses different audio paths. We need to fix audio from the radio before we can have a daily driver. Madmack, codeninja, and a few others are working on that. AOSP != Samsung TouchWiz. The way the AOSP kernel talks to the ROM != the way stock kernels talk to ROMs.
Note: != means 'does not equal' for those who don't know.

[Q] T889 Latest Rom : Need Advise

hello guys, need help.
I have tmo note 2 and need advise on the best available ROM. I spent some time searching but couldn't make up my mind
Requirements are latest android (4.3 or higher) stable, fast, all working including wifi calling, mhl tv out , gps , wifi etc
any advise would be appreciated!!
forgot to add, need s pen working as well
S.W.A.R.M Rom is probably the latest T-Mobile Custom Rom. Im not sure if the Downloads are still available.
But...if you dont really need WiFi calling then you can try the Rom I released... its called Test Rom 1.2 nothing to fancy but its stable Test Rom 1.2 Link
Or you can flash DN3 found in the AT&T Development Thread.. or DN4 in the N7105 Development Thread (not to be confused with the N7100)
I'm using alliance rom,it's stable and it does have a lot of user options, i have tmo t889 and it's running really nice. Here is the link. Good luck.

Kit Kat Touchwiz ROM ?

Hello,
Is there any kit kat touchwiz ROM available which is somewhat stable? I would like to be able to use tap n pay. I have a Verizon NOte 2 with such a ROM and it works great. I am upset that it is so hard to find a ROM for the tmobile phone.
I guess Tmobile never released kitkat for this phone?
Lol .. :sly:
Use S.W.A.R.M (Stock) or Test Rom 1.2 (it has some S5 apps - does not have wifi calling) follow all instructions for installing.
Sorry SWARM isnt KitKat. Rom of Thrones is - which is the base for my Test Rom 1.2 - Good Luck.

Thanks,
I did try test ROm and my wifi wasn't working. I now know that its because I needed to update my baseband .. Which I have now done. SO ill give one of those a try.
I also understand that we can load AT&T roms on this phone as long as we are using the T889 Radio,,, so I am looking at those roms as well

Yes. You can also try AGNi Kernel if Wifi still isnt working. From my experience 4.3.0 is the best so far.

I had to flash the wifi fix. Im not sure if flashing a kernel would have fixed my wifi problem. As I understand; the issue is that my phone has the original bootloader that it was shipped with. it doesnt have the 4.3 OTA bootloader therfore I had to install this wifi fix.
SO now I have a Tmobile T889 running an ATT touchwiz rom... I have working LTE(LTE worked with Tmobile roms too). To get the LTE to work I had t flash the latest tmobile radio. My Google wallet tap n pay works again. I am extremely happy about this setup!
Oh... and I am using AT&T go as the service... not Tmobile

Yes flashing a kernel would have fixed the wifi. Flashing the patch wouldve probably made things worse to be honest..now the only way to revert the patch is to odin back to the original firmware...
Im on 4.1.2 Bootloader myself. Havent upgraded to anything above that..i only flash kernels and the modems. Works fine for me. Only issue is the charging while phone is off doesnt work.
Which Rom did you use?

[Q] Need Some T-Mo Note II Advice

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.

[Q] Basic ROM that's close to the newest Android version along with wifi calling?

The last time I tried moving up to the newest versions I ended up losing connections and ended up just reverting back to 4.3
Currently on dbombROM 3.4, Baseband is M919UVUFNB4, Kernel is 3.4 talexop 1.3
All I want is a ROM with the newest stuff as simple as it gets with great battery and wifi calling and app 2 sd support
Point me in the right direction? and what do I need to do to update baseband/radio or whatever else

T-Mobiles Wi-Fi calling has not been released to the public, so there's no way for a developer to include that. Your only option for Wi-Fi calling is to use Google Voice/Hangouts, or a similar app.

First thing you should do is install the latest stock which is M919UVUFNK2 android 4.4.4. Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/39988/M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_TMB/ to download it and use Odin to install it. You'll have to reroot and install a custom recovery again but then you can install any of the latest roms based off of NK2 without any problems. Stay away from roms that are not based off of Touchwiz. Just about any rom with a version of android above 4.4.4 won't be based on Touchwiz and Touchwiz roms are the only ones that appear to have wifi calling. I personally favor this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-4-4-4-nh7-insane-kit-kat-v1-9-14-14-t2876946 I no longer have an S4 but I gave it to my 15 year old with that on it when I went to the S5.
