[Q] T-Mobile SGH-t899 t0lte confuse.

Hello guys, I am just a little confuse and hopefully someone can steer me to the right direction =.
This whole thread say clearly T-Mobile Samsung galaxy note II, however I notice a lot of roms on the treads says different rom.
My question is witch rom that work with my phone have Wi-Fi calling, the extra windows unlocked, extra icons and I can install Google wallet on it.
Just to be clear I am not saying that somebody needs to make a rom like that or trying to push anybody to do something or anything like that (I ONLY HAVE A QUESTION IF ANYBODY KNOW OF ANY ROM THAT HAS ALL THIS FITURES THAT WOULD WORK WITH sgh-t899 t0lte) if not that is ok too.
The man reason that I need wi-fi calling is that I don’t have any signal at home so this is what I use.
Thanks guys and I really appreciate any help, be sure if anybody try to help I will be clicking the thanks button.
Thanks again.

You want firmware that ends ideally in BMB4 or ALL4. Those are the two plates Tmo sgh-t889 firmwares. Nothing other than a tmo firmware will have WiFi calling. Everything branded as t0lte is likely an AOSP based ROM which definitely isn't what your looking for. Check this post for a good reference list of stock firmwares:

FWIW, based on your requirements I'd take a good look at dwitherell's Tweaked 1.5 ROM. It isn't the newest base with LTE, but its solid

[Q] GPE Rom question

I want to preface this first by saying that...
A. I am not a developer
B. I have huge respect for developers, i know it's not easy
C. I am familiar with rooting/flashing/adb/ etc, just not about Rom development
my question....
The HTC One GPE edition is no different from our VZW phone right? Shouldn't the Rom be able to be directly ported over without issue?
Or does the phone being LTE/Verizon cause issues?
Now i know it's not that easy or this clearly would have been done.... I am just wondering why the GPE roms are not directly able to be flashed on our phones.
Also, if i leave Verizon, and go to T-Mo, would i be able to flash a GPE RUU and have the phone work?
Thanks for anyone with any insight. Just curious about getting a true 100% pure GPE rom on my phone....

IIRC our model primarily uses a CDMA radio while the developer edition uses a GSM based radio. If you directly flashed the GPE ROM you would most likely kill your phone's radio.

Your second question is primarily the reason. Our phones run on CDMA/LTE technology. the GPE ROMS are based on GSM technology. so even though you probably could flash one of their ROMS, you more than likely would not have any data or not be able to make phone calls or send text. To answer your last question, I believe these phones are carrier unlocked carrier so you could technically pop in a Tmobile SIM and get their 2G or 3G service(with the right APNs with our current ROMS). I see that people are doing this with their ATT/TMobile/Unlocked phones but I havent heard of anyone getting it to work on the CDMA variants(VZW/Sprint). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G8JXdPk-no
Have you tried some of the GPE modded Roms we have for VZW?

I did use Newt's GPE ROM when i had the DNA, and it worked fairly well. I have not tried any yet on the One, since i only got the phone a few weeks ago. It looks like they are customized, and i am looking for pure GPE no mods at all. But i still might give the other GPE rome a try, have you tried them? any feedback? Part of me thinks i might make the leap to the CM KitKat build since it seems relatively stable....

Beats is not a deal breaker for me. I just need good in call audio, data/wifi/signal, tether, and stability. No extra jazz for me.....
I do like how these builds get quick updates so far. makes my little time with verizon left worth while. i am debating jumping to tmo come summer time....

[Q] Non-carrier firmware vs carrier firmware

Hello all,
I'm just wondering, do you guys notice or know of any real difference b/t the unlocked/non-carrier firmware that's out there and the carrier-specific firmware from T-Mobile for the M8? Is one considered better than the other?
Please share your thoughts with us!

I know my experience with the M7 (yes i know its an M8 forum but still somewhat relevant) is Yes, the carrier firmware was better.
I had a Stock TMO branded M7. I did the full conversion to make it a GPe unit. It was nice but i had some signal issues. It was better with the TMO radios but ultimately i put it back to stock TMO and for me i got the best results like that.

No I think the M7 experience is definitely still relevant!
Ok, you're the first one so far here to say that. So the radios change based on the firmware? Why is that? I mean, why would the radios be affected by the firmware? Seems to me it'd be better to leave the radios alone and let them remain how they came.
My previous OTA was from T-Mobile, but in order to get updated ViperOne M8, I had to get the firmware for 2.22 and T-Mo wasn't deploying it. They apparently just approved it on the 18th, but as u prob read above, I'm not even sure if they've deployed it, and what it contains. I seem to have as much signal quality as before. I just wish they'd have VoLTE deployed for the M8s. That would be great.
RockStar2005

I have been with T-Mobile less then 2 years. Prior to that i was with sprint over 10 years. I got most of my "radio" experience flashing different radios for the Samsung GS2.
That device was super finikey when it came to radios. I also found at the time that 3 different network vendors set up most of the CDMA network in the USA for Sprint. So for me having a specific radio work well meant that same one might not work so well up north. Samsung was also known to not have very good hardware / antennas (when i say radios i am referring to the firmware for the specific device.) So while my devices hardware stayed the same Samsung was making software tweaks during each revision of software.
But to keep it simple, Yes, different versions of radios can work differently in each device. Thats even with stock radios. Then if you add stuff like a GPe radio to a stock unit, or what i had with my M7 using a GPe ROM with a TMO radio. It always pains me to see people who post about using carrier A phone unlocked with carrier B network. Those people will never get the most out of their hardware network wise because carrier B has worked with the manufacturer to make sure their device is created to be specific to their network. Sure an unlocked will work but not at 100% efficiency. It could be a hardware limitation, could be some software that is baked into the ROM to make it work better, or even as simple as TMO baking in WiFi calling with their network.
I mean look what happened to the Note 3 for TMO. Originally it shipped with LTE not even enabled. The hardware was there then BAM, with an OTA LTE was enabled. Flash forward to the last few months, 2 separate updates for VoLTE. Those are radios updates that are specific to the hardware in the Note 3.
Hopefully someone else can chime in as well. Id hate to think im the only one.

Six,
No you explained that rather well! My cousin has the Note 3 so I know what u said about the last part (on VoLTE) is def true. I wish HTC would hurry the F up and give us M8 ppl VoLTE. Would be nice. And make it available everywhere, not just major cities (it's avail in Chicago, but I live 25-30 min away).
I have a buddy who works for U.S. Cellular corporate, and he said the same thing. Unlocked phones, esp ones sold by one carrier but used on another's network, don't work AS well as when the phone is made for your carrier's network. International phones at least I believe work fine if released OFFICIALLY in the U.S. (i.e., Sony's Xperia Z2, which is ONLY avail that way in the U.S.), because they've been tested on ALL carrier networks/bands, but that's diff than using say a Sprint phone on T-Mobile's network, I believe. (Or using a phone that wasn't approved for all the major U.S. carriers.)
So far you're the only who seems pro-carrier firmware/OTAs, but that's ok. That's why I started this thread, so I can get all sides of the story. But if you read the previous posts, the other posters make a compelling argument that's pro-noncarrier. It sounds like in my situation I'm fine, b/c I'm pretty sure the int't M8 was tested on T-Mo's bands already. The firmware would just go along with that same data, so I don't think I'm having any loss of quality. Now if I carrier-unlocked my phone and tried it on Sprint or Verizon, or even AT&T......... then I would expect a loss of quality at some level.
Thanks,

Agreed. I see merits in both custom roms, stock roms, GPe Roms and Cyanogen.
Back in the GS2 days i was a big fan of using some of those custom ROMS guys would cook up. It fixed a lot of issues with Android.
But for ME, since 4.2.2 and up, i have been happy with stock ROMs.
In fact i almost always ran custom roms on my older devices and only recently started to leave them stock.
The last thing was when TMO gave me 3 GB free tethering, that was the last thing i might have rooted for.
My note 3 is stock, my M8 is still stock. and my back up M7 is stock (after putting GPe on it for a few weeks and testing stuff out).
I for one use my M8 as my daily phone and my Note 3 as my back up / game device.
For example, today at lunch i had local news streaming on my M8 while my Note 3 was tethered to my M8. On my Note 3 i was playing a few games while i waited for my food then answered a few emails and chatted with a friend on Hangouts.
With TMOs recent 4.4.3 update my M8 seems to run better then before and i feel im getting better battery life out of it.
Cant wait for my Note 3 to get 4.4.3 or 4.4.4. Also really looking forward to Android L on both of the units.
The way i look at it is what are YOUR pros and cons. LOL.

My "pros and cons" list involves having all pros and NO cons! lol
I think I'll prob just wait for the T-Mo OTAs from now on, but then again, b/c I have ViperOne, I won't know when they get deployed unless I constantly revert back to stock. Ughh! I guess so far I haven't really noticed a difference in signal and call quality since installing a non-carrier firmware, though it's only been like not even 2 weeks yet since I did it.
That's cool though that you're so happy with it. Perhaps your posts are an indication that T-Mobile has gotten better with their overall quality, and so that's something to look forward to for when I do go back to stock (whenever that is lol).
Thank You,
RockStar2005

Most people make a big deal about carrier OTAs. So you really dont need to revert back to check for them. As long as your active on the boards you will know when a device gets an OTA.
I failed to mention that part of why im happy with stock is because devices are now getting to the point where they are so fast that having bloat ware on them doesnt noticeably slow down the devices like they used to. At least i dont notice it. Pluse with 4.2.2 they allow you to "disable" most apps you dont want to use. So thats another plus.
Back in the day i used to root and do the custom ROM for extra battery life, or tethering, or to make the device snappier.
I honestly would have thought that someone else might have chimed in by now and added their 2 cents.

Six,
Yeah, that's true. Or I can check on T-Mobile's update site, though there may still be some delay b/c of how they deploy OTAs: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-10366
I've noticed that too, and before I got ViperOne and also Titanium Backup, I was disabling several apps too. Though I prefer to just uninstall them.
RockStar2005

Six,
I talked to one of the ppl at Team Venom, and he said he has T-Mobile and recommends just taking T-Mobile's firmware updates for better cell reception. I'll do that from now on. But for now, if anyone is interested, I have here a link to the latest radio image file for the M8 (as of 8/27). Just download and "install flash" in TWRP.
And if you're rooted and want to get rid of the "red splash" screen during boot-up, try flashing the attached mod! :victory:

So... My question now.. I'm one of those buy vzw m8 take over to T-Mobile. I'm running viper 2.3. It runs great. But vzw never updated to newest firmware.so my question I guess is... Can I flash a T-Mobile radio or firmware to my vzw phone? I kinda know the answer, but I'd rather ask. So if I can.. that'll be great!

I know on the M7 that would brick the unit.
The CDMA and GSM units had different hardware and flashing any GSM ROM into a CDMA unit bricked them.
I want to say the same holds for the M8.
Can someone else confirm that for me?

The more telling situation is the sound of crickets from our development thread when there has been enough info out for working OA7/OB7 lollipop roms for our phone for half a month and there is still only one backup image available here in the general section.

Hopefully they release it. but who knows really ? On the t mobiles phone update list the s4 is not on the list like the note 3 and s5 and note 4

Because there is plenty of development for universal ROMs for all s4 variants.
There is no need for 919 specific ROMs anymore. The 9505 to s work fine on the 919.

Well you are not even half right, there is plenty of development in unified roms, and 9505 roms do work fine though I find ShinySide's HispAsian kernel for our 919 to be far better than any 9505 kernel I've tried and of course the 9505 roms are missing wifi calling and so are all the aosp flavors you could think about downgrading to. So really there is a need for specific 919 roms. I call it downgrading because that's what it is. There are just lots of people who don't know they are missing anything because they don't do more than make phone calls with their phones.
I specifically mentioned OA7/OB7 because I was talking about Touchwiz roms. ... As for flashing OA7/OB7 we still need a lollipop bootloader/radio/modem for the 919 for this to work well or accept perpetual complaining about all the things that don't work right trying to run TW lollipop over 4.4 radio/modem/bootloaders....
I'm not trying to pick a fight, I just haven't had any coffee yet!

I know about the different international ROMs working...that isnt the point..I want the T-Mobile stock kernel with stock features like WiFi calling to work...can't do that on unified ROMs...and I'm pretty sure screen mirroring will work as well since unifying these leaks have bugs with the build prop getting screen mirroring to work.

Kernel alone won't do it, a feature like wifi calling is baked into T-mobile firmware.

the crazy thing is there was an early Chinese leak that i ported to our device.....it had wifi calling but of course at that time we didnt have wifi working because of the kernel issue with wifi at the time...if i can remember which leak it was thwen i could test it with the AEL lp kernel.

Why is t mobile so restrictive about that?
Why isnt it an app you can get from Play for any phone?

Wifi calling has been around since 2007 when T-mobile launched it to boost their lack of coverage as compared to ATT and Verizon.
Sprint started offering it recently on some devices, AT&T /Verizon don't think much of it because they have the best network coverage in the nation.
I think it's a great feature because we are always around some sort of WiFi, especially if your is a sub basement where nobody's cell gets any signal and all of a sudden your phone rings with a call or message.

Yeah but I mean why do they embed it so deep into the OS that even the best hackers/coders/developers/magicians on XDA can't break it out?
Why not juamst have an easily downloadable app that authenticates your account and works on any device?

I certainly hope so. I think it will be interesting to see what the developers will do with a m919 rom. I love GPE's but TW rom's have some customizations that I miss. My proximity sensor is damaged and in a TW rom I can just turn it off but I can't do it in a GPE rom. I'm super excited for LP to come out.

any news on upgrading modem/bootloader to LP for m919? just got one and i am on MF2 but really want to put LolliRom from Albe95, but I know its risky. I have searched everywhere but cannot find a reliable answer/link

[Q] Am I overlooking things...?

Hey guys, I have a Sprint, SM-T807P (10.5" LTE/Snapdragon) version of the Tab S and I must say that I have been nothing short of impressed since the day I purchased it back in December. However, the one (major) downfall is that it seems 1 in 1000 Tab S owners actually have the 807P, which appears to be resulting in a virtual non-existent world of ROM's/custom kernels etc.
I was HOPING I am either over looking something, looking in the wrong location, or not aware of which other models may be compatible with mine.
I just Odin'd from DUH's KK ROM, to stock OE3 Lollipop, and was hoping to get re-rooted/CWR or TWRP installed and find myself a slick little ROM to install.
Is there any hope? lol Thanks in advance, ladies and gents!

Adding on to this. I bought the SM-T807P used (because it was a great deal) and I am only interested in running it through wifi. I dont need the LTE capability.
Somewhere I heard that some other Snapdragon roms will work, I'll just loose LTE functionality ... which is fine by me.
Does anyone have a list or can point me in the right direction for other roms that would work in wifi mode?
Or tell me which snapdragon roms will work?
It's already rooted and TWRP is installed. I'm just lacking in roms.
Thanks!

I'm sure @duh will gladly build an updated Rom for you guys if enough of you request it.
Maybe if you have enough knowledge you can build one for yourself and the other Sprint owners?

Did you ever receive any answers on this? I am in the same boat, I only have a gig or two of data on my Tab S, but have unlimited data on my Note 4, that's rooted+ROM'd, including the hotspot mod. So I could do without the LTE as well...

What exactly is it you are all expecting from a custom rom?
Practically all custom roms are simply debloated stock roms with maybe the odd extra thrown in.
There is nothing magic in a stock custom rom that you can't do yourself.
