I currently have the M8, and most roms provide wi-fi calling. Are there any that provide it for the M9?
Thanks.
I also would like to know. But someone told me no because it's part of their own firmware.

OK, I just had to say it. The stock T-Mobile ROM supports WiFi calling.
I assume you meant custom ROM... but it was just too tempting.

Thanks; I did mean custom ROM, and assumed it worked on stock. I'm thinking about getting it, and just wait.
Yep no Wi-Fi calling on Custom yet as I do believe none of the devs actually have T-Mobile so it's harder for them to troubleshoot. But as with the m8, the devs will eventually get to it after they iron out most of their kinks in their rom. I'm also waiting, but currently using T-Mobile's stock with all the bloat frozen which is pretty great actually lol.

Just curious, what do you consider "bloat"? I think there are three T-Mobile branded apps on there. What did you freeze?

if you have titanium backup and insecure kernel, you can uninstall all bloatware from your stock rom rooted. I removed HTC backup, HTC CD, twitter, lookout etc.. Then using xposed to get some of what functions I need from custom roms.

This is good to hear! I am getting a new phone tomorrow night and I was leaning toward the Nexus 6 but as of a few weeks ago they have been hit with the loss of calling and data issue. They just get a "!" which requires a reboot and it happens again shortly after. Its not carrier specific either so its between a Google app and Motorola. I had the problem on my M7 and started a thread in Q&A to make sure that it wasn't happening here. I will be running stock ROM for a while and freezing the bloat as well...except for the ones I can uninstall of course.

oh funny you mentioned that, my coworker who is still using his nexus 4 (i know) says he's been getting that "!" too. He's fully stock, so maybe it has to do with GPE roms. You'll like the M9 stock, pretty smooth and snappy. The "overheating" is only during backup or when the "Android is upgrading" on boot. Haven't felt it any other times really. But it's like that with most phones, this one just feels hotter because the metal conducts more.
Just keep an eye out for Viper or InsertCoin to integrate wifi calling, if it was like M8, those 2 were the first to bake it in their All Variant ROMs. Although the others eventually followed suit but much later on.

I got my M9 on T-Mobile the night before last and the VoLTE calling sounds incredible when calling someone who also has T-Mobile. I am still running stock but I did stick a 64GB SD card in and my 30+ my4 movies sound and look incredible!
Oh, I guess the rumors about HTC throttling the 4 cores that max at 2.0 was very minimal, if not completely false. I couldn't get the 8 cores to max out all at 100% continuously so far....

Some are already baked in. Issue is that T-Mobile firmware is still slow on updates so devs don't usually keep track of Wi-Fi calling as most devs aren't T-Mobile user. Also there's a thread already opened for the flashable zip. Not perfected yet.

Hi fellow XDAers,
It have been picking the best of both working Droid roms that has come down lately from Sprint to get phone in working order.. Instead of working from ICS backwards, I've worked GB forwards on the main parts... Forgive the choppy sentences... Not enough coffee yet lol
1. Odin'd back to EL29 OTA proper and rooted. Which rebooted.
2. Odin'd the FF18 modem. Rebooted.
3. Re installed a few utilities - ghost commander, quick reboot, Ti (to pull zipped apk's of the better parts of ff18 and email them to my laptop. whet I plan to integrate them. Also planning to do the same once I get the GB portion s downloaded)
4. Integrate into new ICS or JB stock ota
So far got 1 & 2 completed. Running to the hospital for a bit to visit my mom and then have to do some house work (a woman's work is never done.... I hate cleaning! lol)
Then back to my geekdom (for world domination (j/k))
And see if I can make headway on next items..
Screen print attached.
EDIT: speed test, battery shots jusy attached

Not so much a ROM but more a back-working of ICS to see where its breaking down. Consider it a "Bandaid" to transitional development towards ICS.

No, i'm not releasing it as my own ROM... That would be illegal, now wouldn't it... Please read the entire thread. I am reverse envineering it to make it work with what was stable in GB EL29. And thought I would share to be kind to the other SSGS2ET owners who just got screwed by sprints preemptive release of ICS 4.0.4.
If a Mod want to change the title and remove the word ROM that's fine by me.

Thank you!! See there is a voltage issue that keeps turning off 4G when on wifi... There's also a runaway program that i'm still trying to find and change the timing on so it doesn't use up the battery and there is also something that prevents reattachment to Ti for one thing and that its goggles fault for changing the key with every install... Most apps can handle it but there are slot that don't recognize the phone and creates a problem especially if you've paid for it... its the guts basically that is causing the problem sort of like crossed wires throwing voltage.
Hope this helps, and when I get a chance, I will write a proper dissertation for those that don't unbend and insist on flaming me.

This argument should really be handled with PM's, not in somebody else's thread. I try my best not to get in the middle of things, but this is getting ridiculous. If you don't agree that it's development then report the thread and let the mods decide, don't attack the OP's spelling and time with XDA.
My Wicked Sensations rom is one of the roms that people are referring to as more of a theme and not development and I agree with them. But every phone section has themed roms just like this section. I don't consider myself a developer, and I have stated that on many occasions. I just try to share something that I like with others. But I do respect everyone else's work and don't insult it. If I don't like it, I move on.
So please respect somebody else's thread and don't trash it up this way.
I've cleaned this thread. However, it will remain closed for now. "Placeholder" threads are not allowed. As you probably seen why. Once a download link is provided and verified, then it will be opened.
Until then, I'm serious about what I said when I talk about it spilling over. Vacations will be handed out (again) if it continues. I don't care who you are, how many times you have pm'd me, how cool you think "you and me" are. Rules are rules.
Being that this is the first T-mobile phone with "offical" JB. Is there anyone out there who could pull the wifi calling system out of this phone and make a zip or apk file so we can try it on other T-mobile phones running JB roms? Thanks!:fingers-crossed:
Second the request - thanks fyremedik! Especially curious if the Wifi Caling app would work on an Int'l GN2

It's TOTALLY carrier dependent, as far as I know. However I am a TMo subscriber... on my international HTC Sensation, I installed wifi calling apk that had been yanked from the TMo ROM, with no problems - I hope it'll work when porting from the TMO GN2 to the Int'l one...

You are correct, it is Carrier dependant and its a feature that Tmobile offers. It used to be able to be pulled from roms and installed (not as an apk cause there were more files it needed to work and the apk installation was not possible), however I see this being a problem in its current state. The reason for that is cause now Tmobile has it built in as a feature in the settings of the rom not as an individual app as before.
Developers would pull the app out with necessary files and offer it for porting to other devices and it was there. I have spent hours on this because I would try different Roms on my vibrant and if they didnt have wifi calling i had to find a way to install it (It was always a flashable zip to get wifi calling). Later I started playing around with insalling ics roms on vibrant and tmobile didnt have any phones with ics yet so there was no wifi calling compatible and devs were having a hard time and it just never happened. I then got the galaxy nexus with jb and went for 8 months without wifi calling (I think at some point the ICS version came out).
When Tmo offered the note 2 and with wifi calling i got excited that someone would be able to extract it and i might be able to get it working on nexus...but then i saw how they have integrated it into rom. It wont even show up in titanium backup as an app. Just the wifi calling settings. Im sure some dev will eventually be able to do it..but i see this taking time as it usually is not a priority for devs. I wish I knew enough to work on it

I think you might see alot of different ROMs for other devices, due to the number of devices the manufacturer makes. Like when I had an Evo and Evo3D. Devs were porting any new update, or new features from other multiple HTC devices.
The thing is, we have a device that is King of the Hill for now. Made by a manufacturer,that doesn't make a ton of different devices for every carrier. HTC and other manufacturers are starting to follow suit. Making one or two big devices across all carriers. Instead of numerous different models on all different carriers.

Meh, this phone has plenty enough of options for roms. I personally dont like too many roms that are pre themed, would rather theme it myself to my own liking... thus the beauty of android

My thoughts were it could be that sprints LTE network isn't going as smooth as predicted. And with if tmobile meets their LTE target and has 200 cities covered by the end of year. I know I was looking into making a switch. When I had the epic 4G. A popular dev on that side left. Because his service sucked so much. I don't know if its a factor for every dev. I'm sure each has made that decision for what works best in there area. But I can't imagine a slow network attracting the most devs.
Yeah but seeing some of the other numbers from the other three that 400kbps on lte. Looks like sprint will be in trouble.

I hear you, especially when there's something that's not available for this device. I'd still like to see Touch wiz tablet hybrid Rom, it seems everyone has this... Also agree 4g is def must. The only reason I kept Sprint was for The Lte experience & ultmd data! I was an sd card slot away from signing with T-Mobile also Damnnnnn you nexus...

I don't know about others but I've been on whomp rom and it's so stable, fast, and energy efficient and just about every feature/mod I need. Variety is great but if there's a rom that does everything I need and is super stable I see no need to change..

Basically the same here. Using Whomp along with Morphology (thanks to Mack for the port) there isn't much else a rom could do for me until KLP comes out. At this point (and I'm NOT trying to take away from anyone's current work) most *new* roms are just re-skins of the same work that we already have access to.
Ummm I may be a little partial an didn't wanna say anything cuz I'm doing some of the work. . But since nobody mentioned us.. the labrats rom is getting fairly themed. Half dozen color options or so.. more added daily or weekly. .
The guys leave it stock tweaked so its not themed from the start.
Just my half a cent

I think that it all depends on what your looking for. If you want the best of both worlds as far as customization, functionality and performance I would suggest MacksROM. As of lately its been the rom of choice for me.

One of the best devices on the market which runs Android is the HTC One. One of the biggest competitors is the Samsung Galaxy S4 and this recently got an update OTA to take away the lags.
So how good is the HTC One? People want to know if the handset will get Key Lime Pie, which is said to be coming out this year. Android 4.3 has come out and there has been a great deal of interest in it. The HTC One is to be the only Android device from HTC to be getting the update.
We have heard a tip from the source at HTC before and he has been correct.
The source told us that the Jelly Bean 4.3 update is now with the carriers in the US, just weeks before the HTC One got Android 4.3. So it looks like the US carriers could have had the update for quite some time.
So it must mean that the HTC One T-Mobile version could be getting the update to Jelly bean 4.3 around August or September. However we would not be surprised if the update arrived at AT&T and Sprint in the summer too.
If Verizon have Jelly Bean 4.3 then they could be the first to launch it alongside the handset, as at the moment they do not offer it.

This reinforces the notion that carriers strategically release or withold updates to try to get more sales at the expense of the consumer. It would be nice if Sprint drops 4.3 within a month, but its likely unlikely.

How did that junk article reinforce that notion?.... It just said the update is supposedly with carriers...that's it.
The only time something is held ever is when a new device is about to launch, and even still that is an extreme rarity. What people don't typically realize is when carriers get the update it takes typically 3weeks to test and approve said update. 4-6weeks if its an OS upgrade too and not just a patch. They have to test and send back to HTC then test again...process takes time.

It's just that Sprint is still sitting on the 4.2 update and now 4.3 and Key Lime Pie is around the corner shortly thereafter. Looking at the big picture, it is plausible that the release cycle is delayed to boost sales. There should be a new flagship phone sometime next year in the first half, possibly launching with Key Lime Pie. Then these 4.2 and 4.3 delays add up only to satisfy users wanting updates to get close to launch date.

Is it me, or is it always the US carriers "testing" these updates for months and months? We are a nation of lies and greed so it doesn't surprise me honestly

The dev edition has been confirmed to be skipping 4.2.2 because it is a "minor update."
I think what Google did is it gave out the 4.3 source to OEMs like Samsung and HTC before it announced it. So, HTC (and therefore, the carriers) has had 4.3 ready for a while. We may be seeing the 4.3 update soon.

The proof is in the... Tweet.
And I am actually excited that we're skipping 4.2.2 because a few people were reporting certain issues, and if HTC thinks that 4.2.2 was a minor update, then I can't wait to see what 4.3 will bring.
The way I read that article is that Verizon may be the first to offer the one with 4.3 out of the box, not the first to offer 4.3.

While I hope any update news is true, its all hearsay at this point.
There are so many grammatical errors in there I wouldn't trust it. Also stop saying carriers have the updates. No one has ever come out and said the carriers have 4.2.2 and yet everyone assumes they held onto it in the comments. With the way the Verizon HTC One is realsing with 4.2.2 it is almost painfully obvious HTC and Verizon had some sort of deal.

I don't think you understand what the word "business" means in the real world. Companies could care less whether the consumers receive the update in a timely fashion. If it were both cost-effective and a good move business-wise, updates would be cranked out as fast as possible. But it's not. So they don't.
Jason Mackenzie is answering A LOT of questions on twitter today... Allegedly he wants 4.3 on the dev edition by the end of September if not earlier.
This is great if true. I don't mind waiting for 4.3 because there are a lot of apps that are incompatible with it right now, like HBO GO. I have 4.3 on my Nexus7 and sometimes I wish it was on 4.2.2 so that all my apps are working like they are on my One.

So Who here runs stock rom?
Do you run stock rom with Xposed or do you find better performance in running a rom?
I am running completely stock except for being rooted. I just haven't found a need to run anything else. Performance is awesome stock and I don't have time to deal with my phone much interns of playing. I need it for my work and it does everything just fine.
On my old Droid Razr Maxx, I used to put together my own Roms, but I just haven't felt the need at all with this phone.
I run stock 4.3, rooted. Been contemplating upgrading to 4.4.2 stock, but AFAIK, none of the root preserve KNOX.
Nowadays I stay with stock, less problem.
I was running stock 4.3 since I got my phone release day but decided to root and upgrade to 4.4.2 a few days ago and retain root so I can do the SD card mod. Wanted to see what the hype was about. I regret upgrading to kit kat but at least I'm rooted and Knox still intact and still "official" device status. So I'm still in warranty.

More battery drain. Can't use foxfi anymore so I'm trying to find another method to tether. Nova launcher animation reverts to opening app from center instead of opening from the icon location. Lost my ripple lock effect when connected to galaxy gear.
There's no benefit to kit kat for me. But now I'm stuck till someone figured out how to revert back.

My Note 3 came with 4.4.2 when I got it. havent had an issue with anything yet (Coming from an Nexus 5) Tethering isant an issue as I have AT&T and have not had an issue with the T-Mobile tethering app.
Have been thinking about putting the S5 Messaging app and S5 accuweather widget but so far thats about All I want just for root.

You've never had note with 4.3 so you won't see the difference with battery life. Specially coming from a nexus 5. I used to get 6-7 hour on screen time. Not talking standby time. T-Mobile tethering app limits me to my 3gb T-Mobile tether plan. With foxfi it bypasses it so I have unlimited tethering.

Have you tried pdanet? It says it supports 4.4.2 and if you already bought the foxfi key that will also unlock and work on pdanet.

I run stock ROM and love it. LeanKernel, root, Xposed, Foreverloco's inverted dialer and a few ported S5 apps are all I need to be happy. I'm usually one to run crazy modded ROMs, but stock MI7, NB4 and NE6 have all been perfectly stable and great on battery for me. I do PSX/PSP emulation, mobile gaming and watch a lot of media on my Note 3, so I'd say performance is fine in stock.
My wife ran stock unrooted MI7 for what seems like forever, until the NB4 OTA got forced onto her phone lol. After that, her phone started to heat up and drain in her pocket. It was easily fixed by a clean wipe and Odin to NE6 though. No problems since.
The only times I didn't run stock ROM on Note 3 were when I was running dwitherell's Tweaked ROM (this thing is a work of art seriously) and sbreen94's HyperDrive (really great NB4 ROM). But since going NE6, I haven't really felt the need to try another modded ROM.
I am curently running stock, but I am looking for a variant of multirom for the Note 3 (N9005). And I think I might have found it in safestrap.

Does Foxfi really bypass the tethering limit on 4.3?
Stock 4.42 rooted. Knox is blown but don't care. Use Xposed and a number of other root apps. Battery use is good, no real issues unlike what others have reported. Have TWRP recovery, but mainly for use to make backups. No plans out interest to change ROMS or kernel

It does. I was actually using it before I upgraded to the new plan with 3gb free tethering. Only had the unlimited data option then. Had to make an empty apn and activate before I ran foxfi for it to work.

I'm running stock everything non root. I updated OTA to KK. Phone lags once in a while. And my battery seems to be going very quick compared to my wife's note3. She can go 2 days on one battery. ( all she plays is candy crush lol). Other than that I'd say it's the best phone We've owned..
