Im new to xda developers but Are there any lollipop custom roms out there that support wifi calling/texting and how can i stay in the loop if one comes out
Read incessantly. There is a lot of information for the device, software, network. You should start with the stickies. Those are invaluable.

Thanks I appreciate any hints ive glanced at the site here and there but not a serious user. I figured this would be the best place to find information like this whole wifi calling custom roms questions
No. Not until TMobile releases it.
So does that mean you can't custom ROM T-Mobile phones without sacrificing WiFi calling or will custom Roms support WiFi calling once lollipop is released

At this point, if you want to use WiFi calling, you have two options (that I know of): Stock LG ROM, or SkyDragon. Both are Kit Kat roms, and are (or are based on) stock.
If you want to try out Lollipop, you won't be able to utilize T-Mobile's WiFi calling yet.
You can use Google Hangouts to message over Wifi (to someone else using hangouts) and make calls by Wifi (also, to another hangouts user). Not a fool proof option, but can work if you really want to try out lollipop.
Another option you can try, which is much more involved, is to leave your phone on the stock rom and then install MultiROM CLICK HERE for this device and flash a custom lollipop ROM as a second ROM. Then you can use WiFi calling on the custom ROM, but boot into the second ROM to get a feel for Lollipop. That is what I am currently running. It involves knowledge of rooting and flashing, and if you've never done either of those it can take a lot of reading, and POSSIBLY (though not likely if you're careful) bricking your phone.
I too am interested in WIFI (tmobile) Roms... but ended up just rooting the stock firmware and using Tweakbox and Xposed to customize.
If there is an awesome WIFI (tmobile) rom, I am interested too, but the self customized rom is pretty good too.
Update... Just tried SkyDragon.... and if I hadn't customized my own stock ROM I'd probably go with SkyDragon... Since I have several hours into my own mods, I am sticking which what I got using Xposed and G3Tweaks

Actually, you can make WiFi calls to anyone with Hangouts, not just other Hangouts users. It's not especially elegant and the voice quality is spotty, but it works.
Does anyone know how to enable video calling from withing the phone dialer. I read that the Verizon version has it. and T-Mobile allows it so if I could get it to appear I'd imagine it would work.
My understanding is to get it to show up as an option you have to enable it on your Verizon account. If it isn't enabled then the phone won't show it. I went through the dialer and enabled it but it still didn't show up in the calling app until I enabled it with Verizon. Code for dialer is **#*#4636#*#**

See I have the one from Google, on T-Mobile and it worked on my note 7. I called and they said it was enabled. I wonder of anyone with T-Mobile has it working and can share their steps.
In that dialer code menu there is a toggle to enable it, just with Verizon it didn't make any difference and actually toggled it back off.

Same with T-Mobile, because it actually has to be provisioned.

Hmmmm. I'll call T-Mobile and see if there's an option like that for me. Did you call and do that or is it something you did manually.
For Verizon, you have to have the My Verizon app and then the option shows if to enable it off the call settings menu

I called TMobile for my Pixel to get the video calling working. They checked menu setting (I already checked) and then told me I'd have to contact Google.

I'm on T-mobile using DU ROM and video calling works. If I pull up contact info I get the symbol for video calling.

Interesting. I wonder what the change is. This alone will prompt me to root. Although I prefer to manually commit the change than run a ROM.

Also on T-Mobile here with the symbol and tried calling someone using it. That person has an iPhone 7. After answering there was only audio. Do they need to have it enabled or have a different phone. Just curious.

You're correct even on DU it doesn't work. It looks like it works but when the person on the other end picks up the call video turns off.

In my experience the video calling only works when calling someone with a Android phone that also supports video calling on T-Mobile... For instance when I had my note 7 I could video chat my dad who had a s7 edge and my cousin with a V20 and even my cousin with a s7 edge on att.... But no iOS phones or Android phones without native support... This makes me wonder what in the code your ROM changed.

Apparently there is no native video calling on non Verizon pixels. Duo may be the closest since it is Google

No, they said to contact TMobile. TMobile tried to assume me to expect it in the future but without any timeframe.

Don't worry bro.It's a common problem.I did a chat with the customer executive of honor and he told me that they will provide a software patch to solve this problem.This update may come in this week.Please wait
wait for the update
Try enabling Airplane mode on and then off..Volte will come back if u r using Jio sim. My Honor 8 Pro sometimes has this issue where Volte disappears and I am not able to make calls. In such case, jus switch on and off the Airplane mode..Volte will reappear.

The problem is volte is enabled and logo is visible but the moment call button is touched, the call goes and cuts in an instant. Therefore, a miss call goes to the other person.

oh is it. I did not face any such issue. My calls went through smoothly. Even now i called a Jio number and the sound quality was crystal clear unlike when calling to other networks. Only time I faced issue calling from Jio was when Volte logo was not there and i had to switch on airplane mode on and off to bring back that Volte symbol.
Same problem i m facing with jio volte... This is very bad....irritating...

As of now, Jio calls are working fine without any issues.
However there has been a issue with Jio to Jio calling. Huawei acknowledges this fact.
In the recent update rolled out for Honor 6x, this was fixed. The first update to Honor 8 Pro is expected to carry this fix.

Nope. You can't natively video call through dialer.

There is no option yet to make video calls but volte works fine. Huawei is made awarw of it already so we may, or may not, get this feature in upcoming updates.
Hey guys, has anyone found a successful way to get call recording on the Pixel 2 XL? All the apps look like they're working but if you play them back it only has the Pixel 2 out going voice recorded--the other side of the conversation (the person you're call or received a call from) is not recorded. Anyone find a way around this or an app that is successful? I loved ACR on my other phones but it won't work on Pixel 2 XL.

Yes, I am rooted, but not using the root method of recording. I'm using the 'android' method. It should work without root.
EDIT: yeah, I just checked. The root method is not even checked and is grayed out. Also, using the AMR audio format.

Ok. Yeah it does not work for me now, but it was before! I used Titanium backup to restore my data and it was fine. But then there was an issue with playing back files from the app. So I reset the options and still assumed it was working. Anyhow, I am now using the root method of recording and that appears to be the only method that works. Sorry for the misinformation
I'm using call recorder from skvalex. It's a paid app but it works perfectly with root. You can install the app from the play store but you have to download the root module from XDA site. It has a 7 day free trial.

+1. I switched to ACR from total recall and it's way better! Also works without root. Well, I'm rooted, but the app does not prompt, nor does their seem to be a setting to even grant root. Works perfectly though. Here are my settings...
Just to update, I put the audio source to Voice_Comunication
And the other side of call is clearer.
been playing with settings before posting hope you find the same is true?

Hello guys, it seems it doesn't work on Android P. According to ACR devs it won't work on the official release version either.. Do you have any working alternatives on Android P?
I have the Lifetime sub for Parrot and was excited to try out the Call Recording, but it's doing the same thing, only recording my side of the calls. I also have it set to Voice Communication but nope, Android P doesn't like call recording. It's a luxury for me, so not a huge issue, but thought it would be nice to record important calls so I can review them / make notes / reminders later, etc... Back to the good ole' notepad and pen nearby routine, lol.
+1 for ACR !
Only issue is, once in a while - it doesn't record the other end of the call. Only my end.
It's totally random, and sometimes pretty messed up if it misses an important call.
I'm using the Call Recorder app from F Droid, works great, use aac under encoding and I'm able to hear both voices.
ACR works fine on Oreo, unfortunately on P it does not, nor will it due to Google/Android P restricting access to microphone on third party apps.
I've got Pixel 2 XL, Android P and just tried ACR with the settings from the screen shot in earlier post and it works fine, records both sides.
Hmmmm, strange that it's working on Android P as Google in their official statement has stated that going forward ( From Android P ) their will not a non-root method of call recording. Search google its everywhere.

Hi! After a lot of pain, I successfully flashed crDroid GSI. However, I quickly switched to Elixir, because volume control didn't work. Now I'm pretty happy with it, although there is one major problem: mobile data won't work. But things like calls work fine. Did anyone faced this issue? Is there's a fix?

Does your carrier use VoLTE by any chance? If you see a VoLTE icon on your signal bar in one ui then forget about it. Because VoLTE on custom roms or gsi's is impossible on samsung devices. Just classic Samsung proprietary stuff.
