G2x is it possible to restore Wifi calling app (kineto) from stock rom after CM7 ?

I have stock 2.2 on my G2x and want to install CM7, the only app I care about (and reason I switched to T-mobile) is wifi calling (UMA). If I adb pull /system/app/kineto.apk from the phone, install cm7, and push the apk back to the phone will it work ? Do I need to pull any libs from /system/libs/ ? I read on some thread that wifi calling after cm7 does not work, so I want to make sure before I root and mod my phone. I also downloaded the gingerbread leak version of the kineto.apk just in case the stock (2.2) one does not work... But if someone can please confirm that this process works I can root/mod this puppy PDQ.
Thanks a ton for your help.

I'm confused...is the wifi calling app even necessary? Even with the app uninstalled (or frozen), I just connect to wifi and then dial a phone number and my calls connect. So what's the purpose of this app that runs 24 hours a day?

The wifi calling (UMA) app allows you to make calls over T-mobile network by using a WIFI even if you have no signal, this is similar to the ATT femtocell calling. The app needs to be running inorder for you to make wifi only calls using T-mobile network. T-mobile supports UMA calling and no other carrier does.

CM7 comes preloaded with WiFi Calling installed. What is the issue here?
BTW, the app only turns on and activates IF turned on and WHEN wifi is enabled. If WiFi is off, so is WiFi Calling. It has been prebuilt into CM7 for over a month. It made its way into CM7 in one of the earlier builds (#13 I think).
I have the latest CM7#58 and I use WiFi Calling all the time while at work. Make sure you grab some signal before activating as it has to communicate to the cell towers to activate the app.

player911, thanks a ton I did not know that CM7 comes preloaded with wifi calling app... I will be rooting and modding my phone today! Bye Bye stock POS 2.2... Hello CM7

you can call t-mobile and ask for free wifi calling then you won't be using your minutes

Wi-Fi Calling still uses minutes with T-Mobile

This is correct.
However, the little notification will ALWAYS say "Wi-fi calling uses plan minutes", at least for me. I verified with Tmo that I had free wi-fi calling on my account, and the rep said "it's a known issue, the notification is wrong, don't worry about it".

WiFi Calling on i727R

You guys may or may not know that Rogers offers a WiFi Calling service, same as T-mobile (they charge though, assholes).
Basically on the i727 ROMs, this isn't an option however if you flash a T989 ROM, you get the option but it doesn't right off the bat obviously. So I found the Rogers wifi calling apk from the Evo 3D, found here.
Now when I get the app into /system/app, it force closes and nothing else, even if I rename it to WiFiCalling.apk, replacing the original t-mo one. With the standard t-mo one, I just get a ER:05 Invalid SIM which I think this is because it is trying to connect to t-mo servers.
Any way to get this working with the i727R with a combination of things from similar devices?

The error is from the sim card tmobile uses a special sim card. There is no way to get wifi calling unless you use voip calls with third party apps. The point of tmobiles wifi calling is solely to make calls in areas with low coverage so they go through tmobiles network through wifi, even if you got it working how would you expect your calls to even work.

Rogers is using UMA now as well (like 2 years now). The SIM error I think it's coming from the fact that the rogers SIM is connecting to a t-mobile server rather than the rogers server.
The technology is the same and keep in mind I'm talking about UMA, this isn't the same as VoIP. I think the calls can work if we match up the libraries from the evo and use the right apk, he evo has the same chipset as us also.

If I remember correctly when I had t-mo the wifi calling still used your minutes. So the call was routed through their servers. There is no way you are going to get it to work without an active t-mo account.

Dude there's more companies in the world offering the same service. Such as rogers. If we get the files for Rogers then I'm very sure that we can get it working.
You are right about wifi calling using your minutes but that's nothing new, other carriers have that as well. Do you know how they route calls through their servers? Wificalling.apk from the ROM using the wifi calling feature in the ROM.

No error is solely from the wrong sim card, new t-mobile sim cards have something built into them to communicate with tmobiles network when uma calls are made. The sgs2 and amaze 4g were tmobiles first devices to have wifi calling changed in the way they route. I dont think ive ever seen a phone have wifi calling ported to it from another carrier. Since uma is tied to the network there is no way that calls would work when trying to use uma on an unsupported network. Calls will always have to go through some type of service such as skype, wifi calling, google voice etc... So you cant just make wifi calls work on a network that doesnt support it as there is no provider to service those calls.

Did you even read the OP? If Rogers didn't support it on their network, why are they selling it? Rogers doesn't support the phone (didn't install the apk and libraries on the phone), they do however support the service.
The SIM error is because the t-mobile wifi calling apk is looking for a SIM card, I'm wondering if someone can port the rogers wifi calling apk from the evo 3d to read the rogers SIM card. The libraries for wifi calling are already on the phone because of t-mobile having wifi calling. I'm not sure if they need to be modified or not but I know there's someone here that would know that. That person just has to run across this thread :/

First of all, T-Mobile doesn't charge for Wi-Fi Calling. Get your facts straight.
Second of all, you will never be able to "modify" another carrier's Wi-Fi calling and expect it to work on AT&T. It doesn't work that way. AT&T must support it.

Most people are assuming you want this to work on at&t, the op doesnt specify. That would obviously never work, it seems like you want it to work on rogers. Its more complicated then what your making it seems when the t989 released it didnt have wifi calling and it wasnt ported over so easily because for tmobile at least it works differently then past devices thats why the sim error is important, its looking for a tmobile sim card and specifically the newer tmobile sim cards even the older ones get that error. That being said it might work differently for rogers but if its the same porting it over wont be that easy as installing the apk and lib files. There are more components then that to tmobiles wifi calling so you may want to ask in the evo forums for all the components to make wifi calling work on the evo.

Thanks, probably the most helpful direction yet. Although I would like to point out that I wanna get it working for i727R, not i727... If I went through the bother of putting the extra R in there, I would expect people to notice it. The i727R is Rogers. I wanna get this working on Rogers, the post describes Rogers as offering the service and the entire time I only mention Rogers rather than AT&T, I don't see how most people would assume I wanna get this working on AT&T.
Unless most people don't actually read or like to post just to get their post count up regardless of how useless the post was.
I'll start checking out the EVO forums to find out how this thing works a bit more in detail tonight.

I had it worked out on older ROM on my HTC sensation, you can chek out my post at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359107
the files that makes it work are coming from kineto package (one company that makes it works for all providers).
this is why all apk(s) for WiFi calling look the same but the one for T-mobile wont work for Rogers (invalid SIM error message, or force close)
Unfortunately as I've upgraded to ICS the older lib libhtc_ril.so is no longer working, so if you have access to EVO from Rogers with latest ROm we could make it work again

Positive, as long as you have ANY sort of data plan. If you're on the pay per megebyte play your screwed if you use the net at all. I've been tethering with my phones for about 3 years now on t-mobile with plans that don't allow it.

Does anybody know about using the wifi tethering for Cincinnati Bell? With unlimited data do we get away with tethering without being noticed or charged?

where did you get the app to wifi tether? I am not seeing the sprint icon that would normally be there...do i have to get the rooted wifi tether app? Can't believe there is no voicemail icon either....weird.

You can access voicemail settings when inside the phone app, just bring up the menu-->settings-->voicemail
And the tethering is (from the homescreen) menu-->settings-->more-->tethering and portable hotspot

T-Mobile files for skyrocket

I know there will be complaining why didn't I search, but I honestly have. Looking for the modem/s that will give me 3g on the skyrocket. This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507825 is the only thing I've found, but the site wants me to sign in but I don't have an account. I've searched Google, the T-Mobile forum and found nothing. I also tried adding the fast apn, but get no signal at all with that one. Anyone have the combination of modem and apn for me? Not in an area that's got even 4g thru att. Closest 4g is 30 miles away. Mod, if posted in the wrong forum, forgive me and please smack my hand and move it.

Thanks so much guys. Was looking so much for the modems in that thread only, that I missed the recommendations of the blaze modem. Thanx again..

Ok got 3g (shows the 4g icon in the panel) with the fast apn. Able to send and receive mms, BUT when its on the 3g, I have no cell service, meaning no calls or texts come or go. Going back to the default apn, got service back but only E and can't send or receive mms. I've noticed alot of people with this problem, but everyone just tells them make sure to use the fast apn. I'm at a loss where to go from here. Any ideas?

T-Mobile does not offer the Skyrocket. Skyrocket is AT&T's version of the device. T-Mobiles version of the phone is called Titanium. Model # SGH-T989... I'm not sure if XDA has a section in the forum for it but I would definitely search for that specific device if that's what you have.

Actually the T-Mobile version is called Hercules.

Well guys, I officially give up. I have tried numerous modems and no luck whatsoever. Tried changing apns to what others have reported success with, no luck. 4g shows temporarily with blaze, but it has no internet, mms or calling available. Once the 4g turns to edge, there is still no internet, but calls work. Texts go thru, but no mms. I am frustrated beyond belief. Guess he gets a wifi only data enabled phone that makes calls and SMS messages only.

I'm in the same boat. I have tried everything I can find on these forums and can only get 2G. The phone will briefly connect to HSPA and LTE, but will not get data and cannot make phone calls. I just wish I knew how others are connecting to Tmobile with their phones. Wish I had just bought another hercules since it works perfectly. It doesn't get LTE, but usually I'm at 10-12 MBPS on HSPA.

[Q] T-Mobile wifi calling on Nexus 5?

I recently switched from my T-Mobile Galaxy S3 to a new Nexus 5, but sadly I didn't realize "wifi calling" was a t-mobile post-installed mod only on their branded devices; so Nexus 5 doesn't have that.
Are there any ROMs that contain the T-Mobile wi-fi calling patch? (or something to that effect, though I really appreciate the ability to connect to wifi anywhere in the world and use the phone as if I was in the US)
Thanks!

I believe from what I read that the Tmobile wifi calling app has to be included with the system as there extra files that can't be simply thrown into an APK. If i recall, it had to do with the modems. I ran a rom on my gs2 that didnt have the wifi calling and spent hours searching for it and found all that info out. Basically if the ROM doesn't come from T-Mobile and is AOSP it's not gonna have wifi calling, and it's not as simple as throwing it all in an APK.
Since the Nexus 5 didn't come with it, you can pretty well give up sadly. I'm just as upset as you are, trust me

Thats a cool work around, i've seen it done for a over a year, however, google voice is dropping SIP support soon from what I heard. There are an app in the market that does this for you. I can't remember exactly what it's called. A buddy of mine showed it to me a few months back. There was a huge notice under the app that said that google voice was dropping support for this setup soon. /rumormill.

TMobile Settings for SIP Accounts?
I noticed in the new KitKat dialer application has settings for Internet calling (SIP) accounts. I hope, in the near future, TMobile will simply publish those settings so Wifi calling will be easily accessible in the system settings (vs trying bake it into the system settings separately for 4.x and newer or that app for 2.x and below).
I know I watched this thread for over a year when I was on my Nexus4 and it never happened:

This was true with the original version of T-Mobile WiFi Calling, called UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access). T-Mobile WiFi Calling now uses IMS, which they actually released into the open-source world. Unfortunately no developer has stepped forward to take this open-source information and incorporate it into an N5 rom

This was true with the original version of T-Mobile WiFi Calling, called UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access). T-Mobile WiFi Calling now uses IMS, which they actually released into the open-source world. Unfortunately no developer has stepped forward to take this open-source information and incorporate it into an N5 rom

now that is some good news! Hopefully a dev can pick it up. <strike>I almost wanna try it</strike> Although i'd rather let someone else more experienced give it a shot. Between the 2 year old child, college, and work...i'm a little too stacked ATM to attempt this.
**Update, after looking at the code um.....no...I won't be doing that one **

This is very useful thank you. Not as awesome an answer as I was hoping but close. I'll search a bit and see what the status is there. Sadly, it doesn't look promising. It appears that code has been released for 2 years now and I haven't seen anyone bundle it into a ROM yet.

I recently switched from my T-Mobile Galaxy S3 to a new Nexus 5, but sadly I didn't realize "wifi calling" was a t-mobile post-installed mod only on their branded devices; so Nexus 5 doesn't have that.
Are there any ROMs that contain the T-Mobile wi-fi calling patch? (or something to that effect, though I really appreciate the ability to connect to wifi anywhere in the world and use the phone as if I was in the US)
Thanks!

New to T-mo so I don't know if this is what you are looking for but if you go into the setting in the phone apk, there is an option for wifi calling. haven't tried it, but thought i'd put it out there.

How would you set up a sip acct to do this?

There's Internet Calling, not Wifi. Internet means using a SIP account, like Magicjack or some other VOIP service.

Got it, thanks for clarifying.
