How to get this on?
I have cm10, unlocked bootloader and am enjoying the fact that I can use my data for emails for work... but I live in LA, which apparently is rural and has no cell phone reception with this provider (t-mobile).
Is there an app that would do tmobile's wifi calling, like in previous releases of CM? is there a way to extract the files from the original build (ICS/JB) and put them on the CM?
I really need it, and it seems all the other threads on this die.
I don't believe it's possible to side load it without official support as Wi-Fi Calling is kernel related.

Maybe you can just flash back to stock if you're that desperate.

I just installed CyanogenMod on my Samsung Galaxy SIII. Before this it supported WiFi calling. Is there a way to get WiFi calling back now that I'm on Cyanogen?

Wifi calling is a T-mobile feature/app. It is only on T-Mobile branded and modified Android phones such as TouchWiz on the Galaxy S3. You could buy the Nexus 5 straight from T-Mobile and it won't have wifi calling either because the version of android on it is pure, T-Mobile doesn't touch it at all.
So if you want wifi calling, you need to go back to stock rom or find a TouchWiz based rom such as Dandroid. Dandroid is nice because it is a TouchWiz rom but is themed to look like AOSP and even has similar features but keeps the important TouchWiz stuff like wifi calling.

wifi calling is now open source, so now its just time for someone to get a hold of it and work on it for aosp roms.

Considering T-Mobile just released 1.27.531.8 OTA, and there are many many updates that have already been released, most recently 2.17.401.1 with Android 4.2.2 which is really nice, anyone think they will release 4.2.2 update soon? I like 4.2.2, especially coming from a Nexus 4, but I cannot use it on a daily basis because I heavily rely on wifi-calling. Many of the buildings I work in have little to no reception for any carrier lte or otherwise so wifi calling is huge.
Anyone know what needs to be tweaked in order to get wifi-calling working on 4.2.2? Does T-Mobile have any phones with wifi-calling on 4.2.2 currently?

My TMO HTC One has Wi-Fi calling. It was supported on the device from day one.

Yes mine too -- works great on 4.1.2. Recently 4.2.2 JellyBean ROMs have come out for the HTC One. Unfortunately Wifi calling is not implemented in any of these ROMs.
I believe the Samsung Galaxy S4 is the only T-Mobile phone that is on 4.2.2 and has wifi calling implemented. Probably have to grab all the necessary files off that phone to get it working on the HTC One, otherwise we are waiting on T-Mobile to release the 4.2.2 update for the HTC One.

yes. i believe the devs on the international forum are waiting for the 4.2 wifi calling apk or whatever it is so if you can get it from someone on the s4 forum and give it to a dev over there they might be able to work with it
I know this has been addressed a few times, but with the new radio's and T-mobile running on LTE bands I feel it can be addressed again.
I have been running a T-Mobile sim in my Verizon S4 for about 9 months now having 90% functionality of T-Mobile apps and after 4.3 using LTE with a few MMS hiccups that seem to have been ironed out.I have ran just about every ROM available here on XDA, and even attempted to write my own Rom a couple times with limited success. And every ROM I have ran was written for Verizon, I just changed the APN settings, and sometimes had to flash some other items to get them working 100%.
I have a few things I am working on trying to "fix" such as Hotspot and a few T-Mobile only apps. I have convinced my phone it is a SGH-M919 changing a lot of info in the build prop, which allows me to use the T-Mobile TV app. But being a trial and error kinda guy I don't know how much of my editing was necessary, or if I actually needed to change more to allow me to use the hot-spot app. I have bricked my phone to many times to count trying out Radio's and changing setting in the ROMs trying to make my I545 more a T-Mobile phone than a Verizon phone.
I have seen alot of "ports" such as the 4.4.2 GE that I am currently running ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643031 ). The first release I had amazing signal and no connection issues. But after the DEV (Danvdh) plucked away at it making it work better for Verizon and fixing a lot of Verizon data issues has started to have a couple signal issues here and there. Nothing that I would say broke the connection but definitely slowed a few things for me down.
Same for the INT build ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552605 ) from jrkruze it works amazing then started to slowly after updates not work as well as it did from his first release. The ROM got better but my "connection" got worse.
So on to my question:
What is being changed in the ROMs that make them better for Verizon? I know that I am part of a small majority of people here running a SIM and a network that it was never supposed to run on, but it does work and I would like to make it work as best as it can. I know I can go back and use the older versions of the ROMs but I like the other changes and I like being able to update.

How do you have LTE working? Correct me if I'm Wrong but TMO has LTE on 700/1700, the i545 doesn't support either of those bands. HSPA+ with a 4gLTE logo maybe?

The AWS spectrum was unlocked for the i545 a few updates ago. Since TMobile LTE runs on the AWS band, a Verizon S4/i545 is capable of running TMobile LTE
AWS was unlocked with the MJ7 modem.
I get 29Mbps down 6.5 up defenitly not H+ the whole Seattle area is AWS so I am loving it. That combined with T-mobiles truly unlimited data I torrent on the go!
Do you receive SMS? I just switched about an hour ago to T-Mobile and everything works except for receiving SMS messages. Not sure how to get it working.

you have to change your APN settings.
If you are interested I am working on something else, that would give us T-Mobile guys a working 4.4.2 TW ROM...

Is anyone thinking of attempting to try and see if a port would work? T-Mobile's wifi calling should work as it's just baked into the ROM. Just picked up a new Z2 off that ebay deal for $399 as I read that the bootloader on the T-Mobile Z3 is not unlockable.
A port should work as long as someone spends the time to do it. I'm gonna try to do it myself because it seems that the Z2 lacks US carrier support on the forums, so not likely going to see any of the current custom ROM makers do it for T-Mobile US.
I have WiFi Calling working perfectly on a Galaxy Note II AT&T version running a T-Mobile ROM (baseband still AT&T). So the usual rumor that only a T-Mobile branded phone can use WiFi Calling is simply not true. Any phone can use the feature as long as you have a T-Mobile SIM card plus a ROM that has the WiFi Calling feature embedded.

That's good to know. I'll keep an eye out to see what you come up with.
Bump with the hopes of someone doing this soon....
ive been with vzw since 2002 so the only thing i know about tmo is their plan of unlimited everything with 5gb hotspot and wifi calling. my questions are as followed:
1. is the s5 rootable?
2. can you use flashfire with it or do i need a custom recovery like safe strap, twrp, etc?
3. can i use unlimited hotspot as opposed to 5gb? will tmo find out if i do use a root method to bypass it?
4. are there go custom tw roms available?
5. can i get xposed running on tmo s5?
6. how good is the wifi calling? i have fios at home running 50 dn and 50 up, so im not concerned with bandwith.
7. im on long island ny, anyone from the NY area, can you report back on service?
As of now, i have a rooted S5 with MOAR Rom V8. I also have flashfire along with xposed. i dont have a custom recovery but with flashfire, there is no need. Im also on an unlimited data plan with vzw, so if i move im not porting my number until i test all this out. Basically i want what i have now, but with tmo.
Any help is much appreciated!

1. Rootable yes
2. Never used flashfire, but yes twrp/cwr no safe strap since tmos bootloader is unlocked.
3. Theres hacks but eventually all stop working for some reason or another
4. Tmo based wise theres a few. Or you can run international roms and be more up to date firmware wise and more rom choices. You do lose wifi calling and tmo crapware tho
5. If on kitkat works great. On Lollipop Ive heard its buggy on touchwiz but its being worked on to fully work. So yes
6. Ive used to like 5 times on accident. Worked well. (I really have no need for it)
7. No clue. I live 100s of miles south.

hey, thanks for the response
quick question about losing wifi calling, i feel like i will really need it, i have a big house problem and in the basement i get 0 bars from verizon. the fact that wifi calling is a feature on tmo is huge especially if the service will be similar. do you lose wifi calling on tw roms or is it just international roms where you lose wifi calling?
hows your service where you live? have you done a speed test?

Just if you run international roms. If wifi calling is a must stay with tmo based touchwiz roms.
Pretty good. I've gotten 60s and 70s on speed test. And seen people pull over 100mbps
FYI not sure if you are going to buy a t-mobile S5 or if you already have one but the Verizon S5 will work with T-mobile roms flawlessly and is already factory unlocked to work with a T-mobile Sim card. I get WiFi calling and all with mine. If you want to know how just look at my recent posts in the VZW section its surprisingly very easy.

I recently bought a Verizon S4 in the US and am using it back at home in latin america. I want to get rid of the verizon pre installed apps, the verizon bootscreen and be able to unlock the mobile hotspot option.
Right now I have the 5.0.1 Android version with the I545VRUGOF1 Build.
What would be the best way to go? flash it with other rom? in that case witch one would you recommend? I like lollipop if possible I would like to keep it but my main goal is to delete the bloatware and enable the mobile hotspot.
thanks..

For now it seems like root can not be obtained with the OF1 firmware because no one has discovered any exploits. And the bootloader is locked so no roms, recoveries, etc can be flashed. I am in the same position as you but for now all we can do is sit back and wait
Mobile hot spot should already be working too! I use mine once in awhile to connect my nook or something to Internet
