this is for Rogers users who have wifi calling in their plan.
How to get wifi calling working on htc sensation.
You need lib files from Rogers EVO, I found them in KingCobra3Dv1.6 ROM
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267131):
libganril.so
libhtc_ril.so
libhtc_ril_switch.so
libkineto.so
librilswitch.so
Copy them to /system/lib
then you will also need apk for rogers wifi calling from kineto. I've found one on this forum (googled it):
MS-HTC-SHT-GB-2.3-48407-06.1.apk
This file is from Rogers EVO uploaded here by nice user(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216683&page=2). You will need to put it in
/system/app
Last step is to add to your build.prop this line:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so
restart, enjoy!
Hey folks,
does anyone have Android 4 (ICS) ROM for EVO 3D with Rogers?
Im looking for lib file from this ROM ----> libhtc_ril.so
WiFi calling wont work after upgrading to newst radio , the lib is outdated
do we need root access?

Since you have to write to /system yes you need root.

I have done some research on how to root my sgs2. Once I do that today I will try and install the fix you have suggested. The lib files can be found in the file tree of the mod you suggested? I can just browse its folders, correct? No need to actually install it on my sgs2? Thanks for your help.
How is the workaround working for you? Are you getting uma without issues? Does it drain battery like alot of evo users have been reporting?
Ive followed everything you described step by step. It doesn't work. I see the icon when i click on it, it launches but exits from the app two seconds afterward. No error..
In the app it says wifi calling "enabling..." with the checkbox being checked of. I can click on other menu options and it doesn't close the app.
I can also assure you that I have wi-fi calling access on my account.

Yes, the libs are in lib directory, all I did is just copy them to lib on my phone. You may want to extract the zip on pc.
As for battery, it is in fact better since it turns off radio once it connects to WiFi.
There is no issues so far and voice quality is pretty good considering my moderate internet speed of 1.3M

Well. First question; after reboot did you get a window pop up saying something like " did you know that your phone can make WiFi calling" ?
This indicates that the libs are working, apk itself won't work. Also is the icon red, kind of Rogers like? If its not then you have T-Mobile apk which again doesn't work.
If it works , you actually don't open the app, it will turn on automatically when signal is too low. There is no force mode to use WiFi instead of GSM.
You can in fact open it with winrar or any zip software and search for rogers string, to make sure.
Also its good to check if the prop.build file has the line I've mentioned. I had my system dir in read-only mode and it was not saved.
I put the line at the end but I doubt it matters.
Otherwise I'm pretty sure that is all you need.
Oh, yeah, Im sure u have the feature but if you have a chance to test it in any blackberry, give it try. I checked mine before.

I wanted to follow up. I did everything that was described and had the app on the phone but still couldn't make calls. I added the one line in the build.Prop file. In theory I did all that was required then I noticed my imei was gone. It took me 2 hours to get my phone back to original state. Clockworkrecovery mod saved me and I ended up restoring my phone. I would still like to get this thing to work as I am going nuts without signal coverage.
I come from the world of blackberry and I know uma worked.
I wish there was an easier way for this to get going. I am a persistent noob when it comes to android, so I know I will get this working. I appreciate your help in this manner.
Rogers should release an app on the market allowing all android and iphones to have this, it would only benefit everyone involved. As a rogers employee I will continue to lobby for this to happen.
I will need to revisit this once my exams are done. I will do more research on this as well.
PS. I did not get the pop up when I booted my phone. There was an htc file in there. Does it matter that I have an sgs2?
The libs are from rom for sensation, I'm not sure if they work for Samsung. In fact I think not. But the apk should be fine. It's made providers. See if you can find similar lib files from sgs2 ROM

Hey guys im not sure if this thread is still going on but i just got my hands on a rogers evo 3d thats updated to ics 4.0.3 i would like to be able to use wifi calling on my other phones with ics, how do i get these files?
Hi Guys,

Nice. Props to ya for setting it up for cricket users. Most of the people coming in this thread are looking for just another rom (for sprint). But again, I'm sure loads of people using Cricket would appreciate your work.
Been trying to get my Mms working for a while and will try out later today. Thank you. Just need to work on theme I like now.Thanks again

Ok it sounds like you where previously using deathsleds Rom and did not do a wipe data before flashing my Rom hence why you had the mnt folder that is only used by the incredible roms so try wiping the data and cache and everything should be fine. Let me know if that fixes your problem

Cricket is a carrier that you can flash phones and the network accepts the esn, also we have a very nice full data package for $55 and we got 4g working on cricket! Me and ztahoez are Cricket Mafia we flash phones to work on cricket. Our primary objective is to get Talk Text MMS Web Apps and GPS fully functional on cricket with non-cricket phones. Cricket has no contracts and unlimited everything with a nice html data plan for 61.86 a month in my area. So cricket rocks for a cheap and affordable solution to your high end phones.

I beg to differ, IMO this was posted here to pay respects to avalaunchmods, and with the recent Jiminy Cricket Rom this was a nice follow up. Jiminy Cricket works great but I experience better battery life and a lil speedier phone with this rom. I think you guys would be better off trying to cook up some custom roms for Cricket, Metropcs, Page Plus these roms and solutions would be worth $$$$ so keep that in mind. And on hofo it would just get taken down or possibly start a fight, my dude might have posted there about this though anyway. How's it working on the wifey's phone?
Im not going to use this rom but i just wanted to post for support towards your cause,good job man.im sure ppl are thankful just a little to busy to take 30secs to says thanks.
I was just going through the /system/app directory and found this rather interesting .apk in there, "TetheringManagerRogers1126.apk". Anyone have any idea what Rogers is doing with this? Do you think this is what is causing people with non-tethering enabled accounts (under 1 gig of data) to not be able to use the Mobile AP feature? Would removing it bypass the restriction? Hoping someone with more Android knowledge can shed some light on it.

Does rooting not allow tethering in the Rogers 2.2?
Regarding your first reply, that has now disappeared:
"Root and tether to your hearts content."
I am rooted, how do you think I was looking through the /system/app directory structure.
Regarding your edited reply, rooting does not disable your ability to tether.
The point of my post was more towards the people that now cannot tether after upgrading to 2.2, there are numerous complaints about it. Mostly from Fido users by the looks of it. The option is disabled for them, if they try to enable Mobile AP it says something about contacting Rogers. I was thinking that possibly this file is the reason, and if they were to remove it, maybe they could enable Mobile AP again.
Tethering does not work for me, when it used on iOS. I never tried on Android 2.1, as I used mobile AP a few times instead. Maybe I just need to set it up again with Rogers since I just renewed my contact...
Mobile AP still works, but just one device at a time it seems? Not sure if thats a limitation or a problem. Now to get VPN to work...

Yes.
The message you have entered is too short.
I just found this thread while trying to fix a problem of Mobile AP/USB tethering disconnecting me after about 5 minutes of use. The reason I mention this is that my account should have not have had any tethering restrictions as I'm on the 6gb data plan. Mobile AP worked fine under 2.1, but as mentioned, after about 5 minutes of use on 2.2, both Mobile AP, and tethering would just shut off. I was able to tether fine using Kies though. Removed this file, and now have been connected for over an hour on Mobile AP Thanks!

Lol just use TiBu to get rid of "Tethering Manager"in the apps list.

Alternatively,
1. Root your phone
2. Download "Root Explorer"
3. Rename or Delete the file
4. Reset your phone

Ya, this may have something to do with the T-Mobile version of the Sensation.
Why not follow the debranding thread? You'll get the ereader app. before flashing ruu just make a back up of htc listen (if you want to keep it). It is the only app on the tmo version, besides wifi calling, you can't get on the market. There is a flashable zip in the dev section that will fix wifi calling if you need it. Do all this and you've got the best of both worlds, debranded sensation with only the good tmo features.

even on the new CM7 where the APN issue is fixed, data still does not work. Its obviously something in roms over 2.3.3 that is creating this problem. I BEG, BEG someone please help find an answer i would love you and most likely donate. Thanks.

I've been following the development threads, because I too have been having data issues deeper than just missing APNs. It actually seems to be an issue with the entire radio side as a whole on any rom that's not based on the factory firmware. It's become much more stable, but still I can only get a GPS instant lock immediately after a hard reboot and can only receive multimedia messages immediately after a reboot as well. Another thing I've noticed, is I will get a "No internet connection" warning whenever I open the browser, despite having a data connection, and the page still loads.
Also, why do I have to set all my carrier information (my phone number, and voicemail number specifically) when the other factory firmware roms can pull this from the sim card?
I love all the features of CM7 and it's based roms, but the data stability has made it unusable for me.

You can't edit T-MO's one. You can copy and make a duplicate of that and then edit it, but that just beats the point.

I'm not a t-mobile customer so I need to add my APN manually. And yes after a hard I can see my list of APNs and I'm allowed to add APNs but still no data. even after the latest stable version. And even after that with the Dragon Kernel with the supposed APN fix.
Really hope someone can shed some light here.

obviously you didn't read my post. I have NEVER had data work above roms with 2.3.3, most people have it then lose it. I also stated that the new kernel from ttbal and the newest CM where the issues are supposedly fixed I still can't get data. Please, read my post entirely before replying, thank you.

oh ok try going into recovery menu and wipe all data then boot up again maybe then you can see the apn
Since you are rooted go into adb and try the following. Download the attached zip file and extract the "apns-conf.xml" file and put it in the same directory you run adb from. Then execute the following adb commands.
# adb shell mv /system/etc/apns-conf.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml.bak
# adb push apns-conf.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
# adb shell chmod 644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
Then go into apn settings and press menu and choose to restore to default. The TMO one will still show but now your Cincinnati Bell one should show also; and it will be a default apn like TMO now (they are on equal footing now). Make sure you press the radio button to make the Cincinnati Bell one green, it it wasn't already. Hopefully your data will work after this. Plus you will now have global apn settings automatically for virtually any sim you use from a GSM carrier worldwide.

Thanks for the help, I'm not where near an xda and phone "noob" but i have never used adb I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to do that if it risks bricking my phone. Unless you have any opinion on how doing it or if its not really complicated I don't think I will try that.

There is no risk of bricking your phone if you stick to the commands I gave you. Just highlight and copy them and you can paste them into the command prompt window by right clicking and selecting paste.
Download the attached zip with the adb.exe and two dlls need for it to run. All you are doing is backing up the apn configuration file, replacing it with a new one and setting permissions so the phone can use the new file. Then you reset the apns to default and the phone will set the apns from that file based on the sim in the phone.
Go into settings, applications and turn on usb debugging, if it is not on already. Then connect your phone to your computer and make sure the adb drivers load (you can find the driver pack by searching this site or installing them from the LG Updater app). To make sure the phone is connected in the command prompt window type "adb devices" and hit enter. The phone should be shown as connected. If not, the drivers are not installed.
Run the command prompt from the same directory where you unzip the three adb files and put the apns-conf.xml file in the same directory. That makes it easier for you to do this. It is actually quite simple and will take only a minute or so.
Flashable zip to replace apns-conf.xml file
Here is a flashable zip that can be installed with clockworkmod recovery. It does the same thing but does not back up your existing file. If you are running a stock rom this will prevent an ota from installing. If you are running a custom rom it doesn't matter as you cannot get ota updates anyway.
Just boot into CWM recovery and flash this zip file. Reboot and reset your apns to default.
Ok sweet, should i flash it while on my current rom that works or flash CM7 then flash it?
quick edit- it won't effect my phone being unlocked and lock it will it? after those questions i'm done asking and i will give it a try good sir thanks

The phone remains unlocked once you unlock it. Nothing you will do will relock it.

I have some problem and something more.
GPRS data will not work, my default APN is mss.life.com.by, and I see arrows in my status bar, but internet not worked.
So, I changed it to internet.life.com.by(got it from operator instructions) and I anymore see arrows and internet still not work.
I have an idea with broadband, I think in my country other radio frequency.
But I can find other broadband for LG G2x

I'm wondering if we cant just remove the "Tetherguard" app from the phone via Titanium. I'm not sure if this is what prevents us from tethering, or the app that phones home... but we might have some luck.
Other than that, can we use other apps that will bypass this?

Unfortunately that didnt work, I just tried.
I uninstalled teatherguard via Ti B/u tried to run my tether app, no luck. Tried to run the factory installed hotspot software and instead of getting denied it just wouldnt turn on. If I went into settings I could make changes and try to turn it on however it would just act as if it was loading and eventually do nothing.
At that time I went ahead and installed barnacle and no luck there either, again it wouldnt deny but it wouldnt boot up either.
Hmmmm
Okay so after playing with the app "WiFi Tether for Root Users, Muller, Lemons, Buxton" I finally got it to work. You will need the app downloaded and installed, go to settings, select profile and select "generic ICS" should be the 3rd option, then hit the menu bar again to select re install binary files.
After that turn on the hot spot and connect with your device!
Actually I'm using the HTC app for tethering!! I did this that a saw on a Vivid ROM thread, I think it was on Dark Raider's..... so I don' deserve any credit, I just want to help because I got my One X yesterday, rooted it and tried it and it works perfectly!!
You'll need SQ Lite Editor:
1) Dialer Storage
2) telephony.db
3) carriers
4) 12 Entitlement 310410
you shoud change the value under "apn" from "broadband" to "pta"
5) Please restart your device and you will get it!!
Enjoy my friends!!!
Thank you for that fix!!!!
I search hih and low for the entitlement check in all the databases. I would have never thought to look in telephony.

Could you please post the Apk,pls.

Donpiero278,
I like your method, but I need a bit more clarification on how you did it.
So I need to purchase SQLLite Editor? What am I going to edit with it? Where do I get the HTC Tethering app? I also don't understand your 1-4 steps.
Thanks

It's not for the timid.
find the telephony.db in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases copy it to /mnt/sdcard
edit it with the sqlite manager of your choice. I used the firefox extension.
Find line 12 and change it from broadband to pta.
copy it back to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
reboot phone
You'll need root explorer or similar file manager with root access to get to the file and put it back
After that I just added the widget

You're welcome. I googled the file location that took a while. After that it was cake.
the maker of CWM also made a tethering app, it also claims that it's almost non-detectable by carriers since it does it with proxies and works with non-root https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.tether
just another option. If you use ssdroid, this is another tethering method that does it with proxies and also is nondetectable that i am experimenting with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25818971

pretty sure you should use a root file explorer to remove it from system/apps because you have to remove the odex as well as the apk. not saying it will work but it might. since you already removed the apk with titanium you should use a root file explorer and remove the odex file that's probably still there and see if it fixes it. im trying it now and will report back.
I searched like crazy and I can't find what PTA stands for. I know APN stands for Access Point Name. I also found out that PTA is an APN that is only utilized by LTE provisioned accounts.
Phone daTA ???
Personal Telephony Account ???
Phone Terminated Access ???
.....I don't know ....possibilities are endless but the curiosity is driving me nuts. Does anybody know?
Sorry that I wasn't here yesterday to help you out guys. I hope it's all figured out for you!!

Did you guys leave Tetherguard.apk in place when you did this? I get stuck at the "Processing..." toast message when I try to turn the hotspot on now.
