[Q] Are the stock ROMs still the only option for WiFi Calling? - HTC Sensation

I assume so, but thought I'd check in. I tried searching but a lot of the posts are older.
Edit: I suppose I should note I realize there are non-stock ROMs with wifi-calling, but they'd be CM9?
Thank you.

Yep, official cm9.1 stable had and option to wifi call but i have never tried it so i dont know wether is it working

Wi-fi Calling And CM7 Based ROMs

What's the deal with wi-fi calling working sporadically with CM7 based ROMS? Or...am I the only one experiencing this? Maybe 1/5th of the time I'm connected to wifi will it work. It's not my router or lan (I know what I'm doing in that realm) +my wife's G2X was working the whole time she had the unmolested phone from T-Mobile. Even after I flashed hers with a 2.3.3 (two days ago) it's worked as it should.
Bump d bump.
I'm not using CM7, but it's happening to me, too. From what I've read over the last few days, this is more of a hardware issue than a ROM issue. For me my 4G often stays on while the wifi is enabled. My wife has a G2x running the same kernel and ROM as mine, and hers has no problems. It's really annoying.
You're not using a CM7 derivitive and you're having issues? Odd. I've only experienced it on CM7 based ROMs. Every 2.3.3/ota/stock based ROM connects with nary a problem.

Have you tried using one of the kangs ..there's fitsnuglys and rustys ... I pretty much use fits' kangs, he uses only certain commits in his kangs and from what I understand rustys contain all off the commits up to date... I've never really had a problem with wifi calling and I use it a lot at work...
I haven't. This is my 1st smartphone. 1st time rooting/custom rom'ing and the "kang" sounded too scarey! Might have to give it try though, i miss sixaxis.
Thanks for the tip.
I've had similar problems where the 4G icon stays on with the Wifi and wifi calling enabled along with not being able to get mms to send or receive but sms works fine with wifi calling enabled. I also had the mms problem on the rooted tweaked OTA rom.

I've had some of the same problems in the past... I've also had mms work over wifi no problem but I've flashed slow many I can't remember which one it was.. LOL.. I really have to start keeping track... IMHO my phone functions better for me when I run a custom rom than a stock .. wifi calling is a must for me because my garage gives me horrible reception and I can't be missing customers calls and I usually only have that problem when running a stock rom...

It works! Well, it worked all night and into the morning. Have never had that with any other CM7 ROM. I wonder what Fits' kang does differently. Any "gotcha's" I need to know about?

Why no Wifi Calling on ICS ROMs?

Just a quick question. Why does Wifi Calling not work on ICS ROMs running on the SGS4G? I understand it's not just a simple port from GB, but I was just wondering what has changed that makes Wifi Calling no longer work.
I think it has to do with the fact that ics and cm7 (also doesn't work for this) are in mtd format

Because there are proprietary things in the kernel that is stopping it from working. Plus the developers working on stuff currently dont feel it is a high priority.
Would you rather have wifi calling or a working ics kernel that allows overclock/undervolt? What about stuff like better battery life?
Ive said this many times you want or need wifi calling there is two options.
1 setup a bounty thread.
or
2 use something like grooveip and forward your cell to your google voice number when you need wifi calling.
erikmm is working on it but I think he hit a roadblock with some of the proprietary stuff samsung does to the kernel.
Also please for the love of android use the search feature. This has been discussed many times in several threads.

[Q] Surf and talk on 3g

So i know our phone is one of the only 3 phones on veriozn that can do surf and talk on 3g .
My question is this : Why is it that not a single jelly bean rom has that feature for it, ( I only tried two ) then i looked in pages of thread using the search feature to find out why, or even in the OP. The only thing I see is couple of people mentioning it, thats all.
Is it RIL related ?
Thanks in advance .
The JellyWiz based roms don't have SVDO yet because they are based on non-verizon roms.
Not sure about the AOSP based JB roms (CM10, AOKP, etc). My blind guess is that it's RIL related.
If you're interested, I'm sure the devs could use another set of eyes and ideas. I remember a call volume issue on the fascinate was solved by the work of someone who didn't start out as a kernel dev, but became one by learning how to solve a problem he thought was important to solve.

[Q] UCLL3 Native Tethering

OK, I know I've asked this before, but NO ONE will give me a clear answer!
I am using the second i727 JB leak and want native tethering. SQLITE does not work and neither does ULTRACFG. I read and get different answers on this. I *KNOW* it can be done.
PLEASE dont tell me to use FoxFi or Embryo. No disrespect, I am PERFECTLY happy with using the leak and do not want anything else.
What do I need to do to get this working? If other JB roms can enable wifi tethering, Why cant I enable it in the leak?
Thanks!
I don't believe native wifi tethering even works on Mohans 6.x ROMs, reason why I'm still on his 5.x rom, for wifi tethering, anybody?

Tethering definitely works on 6.x

I'm using native tethering since EMBRYO 6.0 came out. No problems with it. How can it be more clear than this?
Yup
That is the very *first* Mod I do, as it is *required* for me ..and it should work flawlessly and reliably...
To answer OP's question, if you do not want to do the Mod yourself in the leak (it is little bit involved, if you need to do it cleanly), just pay for it dude and it will work fine that way too..

Best fully working custom rom

I'm just looking for a fully working custom rom to put on this phone. I need everything working. THis isnt my phoen which is why im not scouring the threads myself. If anyone can help thatll be great.
Try CM10.2 which is the most stable custom ROM for this device. Also, you can try CM11 which is pretty stable too.

does 10.2 support wifi calling?
To my knowledge, no custom image for any phone supports Tmobile's current implementation of WiFi Calling. If someone can prove me wrong, I would personally adore it.
That said, Almost any Image can be made to support SIP and VoIP, which is essentially what Tmo's WiFi Calling is, without the ability to use your usual Tmobile mobile number.

I'm coming from the HTC G2 and for awhile I had a custom ROM with WiFi calling. Technically I think I had to install it as an addon after I flashed the ROM but it shows it's been done. Here's the original thread where it was posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664106. Was able to get WiFi calling on ICS even though there was never a stock ICS ROM for the G2.
So it might be in the realm of possibilities. I do know that the G2 had a lot more dev activity though.

Ok.
It's possible.
However, T-Mo pushes out plenty of updates to their Wi-Fi calling that aren't aimed at improving service; they are released to break custom implementations. The difficulty of porting and maintaining Wi-Fi calling is the reason it probably won't happen on this device.
Regardless, there is no 100% perfect custom rom that will shower you with perfect mana from the heavens above and make poo smell like cinnamon rolls.
Every rom (including stock TouchWiz) is a tradeoff. That's just life.

I believe this is the old implementation of Wifi calling, which T-Mobile changed mid 2012, before the release of the Relay. There's a nearly $1500 bounty posted somewhere for someone to get the new implementation working for modern phones on AOSP based images.

Yeah you're right, it was the old implementation. Realized you specified the "new implementation" after I posted.
