Question says it all--what is the most modern ROM on the MT4GS with Wifi calling. I was hoping there was a CM 10 rom with it, but I'm not sure if the CM 9 is still the best bet. Thanks!

I don't think CM releases have wifi calling at all. I'm still on CM 9 and haven't seen it since I switched to it. My guess is that you'll likely have to go older and closer to stock ROMs, like Bulletproof. I saw someone mentioning Miktouch was based on the last official release, so that might be good as well.
You can use WiFi calling with gingerbread and ICS, it became baked into the framework as of jellybean rather than the app making it near impossible to add
But T-Mobile recently released the source code making it more of a possibility. But it will still be a while if ever that its baked into jelly bean ROMs for most phones (custom ROMs that is)

Yep, that CM9.1 has Wi-Fi Calling baked in and it works well. Very stable ROM.

Agreed that the build linked is probably the best build with wifi-calling and has awsome battery life to boot. I haven't found a more recent build with CM on any phone that supports wifi-calling, and most don't even have a 9.x build with it (running CM). What I've ended up doing is I bought an HTC One, and am using the CM 10.3 builds, but have my MT4GS as a backup device, and have a micro-sim adapter so I can use both off of T-Mobile as needed. Since if you have ****ty tower reception, you can't rely on any tower services, I can just swap the sim, and use the mt4gs as a phone, and continue using all the rest of the services over wifi on the HTC One. Net result--everything still works. One note for the 9.x wifi calling builds however (this applies to all builds that I found) The stock mute doesn't work. If you are on a conf call with wifi calling and need to go to the bathroom, hold it.
Hopefully the open source dump t-mobile provided will allow CM to support it in a generic way in the near future. TBH, I think if someone figured out how to supply it as an app for t-mobile users (with support), it could generic enough revenue to make it worth their while.
cool
good i was just thinking this same thing looking for a good daily with wifi calling turned down so many good roms cause of that alone i hope it has no bugs for what i use it for
Due to some minor stability issues, I had to go back to Miktouch 0.7 ROM. I absolutely must have Wi-Fi Calling due to there being no T-Mobile service whatsoever when I go to rural Virginia to visit my folks. I just tune up Miktouch to be the best it can be and don't worry about newer ROMs. Those will come with a new phone sometime in the future.
Can I ask what stability issue it was you had run in to?

I had great difficultly with MMS messages. Also, there were some graphics anomalies, such as widgets disappearing, and some apps having problems communicating. Little quirks that weren't terrible, but still annoying enough to make me want to go back to Miktouch. That's been the way with every non-stock-based ROM I've tried on this device. They're not bad, some are even very nice. But just not completely what I need/want.

anyone still on cm7, passing on all current ICS roms, and waiting for CM9?
I've been using CM7 since it came out. I flashed virt. quatto just to see what ICS looks like, then went back to CM7.
post here if you are like me!
ive been waiting for a stable CM7 on the sensation for over a year now... CM7 alpha10 is pretty close but still not a daily driver.. i dont see a stable CM9 on our phones within the next year.. there are some good AOSP ICS roms though like Virtuous Inquisition which will have to do for now. ever since Samsung hired Cyanogen, you pretty much need a Samsung phone (Galaxy Nexus) for good CM support
the only reason i am using a Sensation right now is because it is the only high end phone (dual core) that supports my $5/mo tzones plan, else I would probably have a Galaxy S2 or the Nexus right now since i much prefer CyanogenMod
I'm in same situation
several past phones (Desire GSM, Atrix 4G) and current Pyramid are on CM7.1
I use Automatic Backlight feature, it's absent in other ROMs, I like Dialer and Contacts in CM.
Tried multiple ICS ROMs but I am unable to use them. Cannot remove contact's pictures from contact list (I don't use concact pictures at all), no adjustable automatic backlight, Volume rocker Wake and so on.
I do not use Google Account at all, all programs I install manually after flashing ROM. No market app, no Gmail, no GTalk. No Sence.
CM is the best for me
I have many phones flashed to CM7.1 and tried the alpha 10 for sensation too. But there are many lacks (e.g. reboot when recording video, battery after 10 hours down to 20%) so I went back and waiting for CM9.
This is my own opinion, I don't believe well even get an alpha build of any kind from kmobs at this point of development even in the next year or two years. I asked him about it an he said he was compiling it at that time.
It tells me a lot by that response from him. That he is a perfectionist that want to do everything by himself an I'm pretty sure that he's gotten help by cm team. And that since he got a GN and amaze he may be too busy to focus on sensation. He said he isn't working on those two but I mean if you had to pick between those two and sensation I might pick them.
The best way to get fixes is by yes providing him log cats towards certain issues but at the same time having the source helps so it can pinpoint the source of the issue in the build.
Many devices have already been merged and I think one or two were made after the sensation was released. Whether its fair or not he has the most updated source for pyramid and we as the people only have nothing but watch and wait

I agree. Kmobs is still a kid afterall. Hes in school and needs to focus on college if you ask me. He bought a GN for $500.00 out of pocket despite telling us how great his sensation was running his build of ICS. Even though it is his money, its pretty irresponsible for a college student to do. Needing a new phone is one thing, but wanting something newer to play with is another.
I dont think it will take a year to get CM9 to the sensation, as I feel Kmobs will eventually turn over what he has done to someone else on the CM team and they will finish it for us. All his G+ posts seem to focus on the fun he is having with his GN.
Yea its free, but it would be nice of him to turn over what he has to another respected developer in the spirit of open source and all...If he hasnt got the time for CM9, then maybe someone else does. Keep in mind, CM is thinking about starting a for profit marketplace. It would be good business to get CM9 out for the maximum number of phones if they want the maximum number of customers. The sensation might not be all that popular though...
Maybe someone from the CM team could speak to him about turning over the project?

Off Topic. Thread title is "anyone still on cm7, waiting for cm9? passing on all current ICS roms"
I could personally care less about CM9. I am running CM7 now and it works fine. I considered flashing an ICS ROM but they all suck right now. Personally if there was a pure vanilla Android ROM (Gingerbread or ICS) I would run that. If CM9 is the closest I will get to AOSP ICS then I guess I will use that whenever (if??) a stable release ever comes out for the Sensation. To be honest I might even be using a Nexus by that time since development for the Sensation is basically dead.

I counted seven flavours of Sensation ICS ROMs discussed and most are available somewhere online. Only the kmobs 'official' CM9 seems to be lost this year.
On Rootzwiki I asked if the following list was up to date. Here it is. Some exist and some are not, but all are Sensation-specific ROMs in development or possible development.
Will we get up to TEN 'unique' Sensation ROMs soon?
1. TripNRaver already has released three betas of his AOSP ROM for Sensation, over at Modaco.
2. HTC Leaked ICS ROM. Lots of tuning and updates of the major 'brands' of Sensation ROMs at XDA Sensation Developers forum, for 4.03 ICS and Sense 4.0 leak.
3. Virtuous Quattro (AOSP) ported to Sensation at XDA Developers forum.
4. MIUI developer petitioned to release a Sensation ICS MIUI (250+ votes for it). 新年快樂 !
5. TripNRaVer previously mentioned he could do an ICS MIUI port once the CM9 Sensation ROM was working.
6. TripNRaVer yesterday released his own CM9 beta ROM for Sensation.
7. Cyanogenmod 9 team (Keyan Mobli aka kmobs, others?) may be still developing the CM9 ROM, unless there has been any announcement otherwise. No recent news in 2012, though.
8. ? Anyone have another ROM for Sensation that's not a variant of or based on one of the above?
9. ?
10. ?
TripNRaver released a beta CM9 over at MoDaCo, fyi.

There are only four "distinct" ICS ROMs available. Trips CM9 leak, the two Virtuous builds, and MAYBE Android Revolution. Everything else is just a themed version of one of the above.
yup still waiting. most ics AOSP roms arent fully stable.
So I haven't really been following the MyTouch4g Slide Rom scene that much and after going through some of the threads, my question is: are there any roms et with no issues/bugs?
I was thinking about finally rooting but I'm not sure if there's really any reason to yet as I'm not gonna install a ROM that still has issues...

Right now Bulletproof is a go for a ROM where everything works. Cyanogenmod 9 is SOON to follow along with others. Take a look and read around tho. Major breakthroughs have been made and things are really looking up for us!

Try the new Miktouch 0.7 ROM. It is based on the latest OTA (1.63.531.2) and IMO is the most functional ROM available. And it is very smooth and quick, great battery life. The improvements that HTC made to the ROM, as well as the tweaking and cleaning up that the devs did, make it my daily driver. I want everything to work, no "gotchas".

Hello,
I can recommend Virtuous Inquisition to you. Its an ICS 4.0.3 ROM that I am running on my HTC Doubleshot since round 2 weeks and its really good! Till now I did not have any issues with anything but some minor things (once in a while you lose WiFi connection which you can enable again just by switching WiFi off and then on again. This happens only if you do not use WiFi and the phone falls sleep mode - the screen turns black).
The configurations are limitless. It comes with NOVA launcher. I bought the premium version and am very happy with the capabilities and possibilities it gave me!
In case you want HTC Sense, you can check out Virtuous Primadona. I did not try this one but read quite many reviews and its also stable and seem to be running nicely on Doubleshot.
The good thing on Inquisitin is, the WiFi calling is integrated. As I am from Switzerland it took me a while to finlly remove it ^^
Cheers

I have been using Bulletproof for months now, and have seen no issues what so ever. Everything works, including Wifi Calling! I have tried alot of the roms here, but I need my rom to be perfect, that is why I keep coming back to bulletproof. I am hoping CM9 will soon become perfect enough for me so I can upgrade to ICS, but it still isn't perfect enough for me. Go with bulletproof.

But if the Wi-Fi continuously disconnects when the screen goes off and must be reawakened to work, that really defeats much of the function of Wi-Fi Calling. How can you receive calls if your wi-fi is disconnected?

I agree that is why I stopped using inquisition...... I am happily using cm9 but if you want three zero problem roms then stock I suggest mik mik v.7, for a beast gingerbread the rubix ics splashed, or if you want ics with minimal issues then cm9 untill the soft keyboard issue is fixed on aokp then I would switch to that....

Hi sorry for the late answer, I am on my finals right now and it's getting harder to find time...
Virtuous seem to have some issues with wifi, though I was talking with tbalden and he said he's working on kernel 3 atm which shows no issues with wifi or 3G / 4G... So let's wait for the next upgrade
For me wifi works good, sometimes it bugs a bit though... Don't forget here they are stil in ROM development so some minor things are not perfect.
You can still try Virtuous Primadonna, got an update a few days ago. For me Cm9 did not work so good, force closing many apps, changed back to inquisition. I suppose we'll have to wait for another month or so to get a rc rom (Cm9, pyro, virtuous or another..)

BulletProof is a great ROM. Along that same design idea is DoubleShot Lite by Ceede. Another you might be interested in is Miui v0.3 and those are just the Gingerbread ROMs I've found to be rocksolid and near flawless. Then you have some really nice ICS ROMs that are coming along NICELY! Believe me, you won't be dissappointed with any of them unless you just happen to be looking for a little issue hidden somewhere.
So tbalden released kernel 3 vinq (ICS 4.0.3) for doubleshot: virtuous.prp2.com/doubleshot/inquisition/virtuous_inquisition-v4.0.2-doubleshot-kernel3_v2.zip
Very recommendable, everything working, very stable, oc to 1.7ghz like Cm9...
As wifi is working also w/o any issues now (at least for me), I assume you can use wifi-calling with vinq... It's integrated btw.
Hope I could help you

Its been a while since I have been here, good to see the unrooting process is easy now. Ive had the HTC ONE S for about 2 months now and its ok, but what irrates me is the Tmobile crap that they always load on the phone and the phone seems to reboot sometimes. I switched over to a pre-paid plan unlimited talk, text and 4GB to 100mb and I swear that my Tmobile service is now worse than before. I use that 4GB to 100MB in 2 days, but I dont really use my internet that much and use only 3 core apps Twitter, Foursqaure and gmail.
What i am looking for in a rom is less Tmobile junk, ability to use my WIFI spot or teether the phone to my laptop without getting the upsale message from Tmobile saying I need to buy the feature.
Also a improvement in signal and internet would be nice from the new rom, i am supposed to be in a area where I should be getting excellent coverage and I am not, even emailed Tforce and of course that was useless, since they say its the sim card, or maybe reboot the phone and the finale say is " we can guarantee service" yet those commericals claim that lol
If you want Wifi calling, then your options are not a lot.
Trickdroid 6.2 is one of the popular roms that is based on T-Mob. Axiom S is getting good momentum atm and the devs are very active (latest OTA yesterday) and it also supports wifi calling. Axiom S-Less is the version without Sense launcher if you prefer an AOSP feel to the phone.
I think this is about it if you want Wifi calling (someone step in if I forgot something). If you didn't care about that, then it's a different story! Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789812
As for better signal and internet, that is largely the responsibility of the radio not ROMs. If your hboot is less than 1.13 you could flash the latest EU radio. TMOB users have reported better signal overall. Of course if your hboot version is 1.13 and you still want to upgrade the radio, you could but you'd have to go a lengthier route (even riskier).
If you're interested in WiFi tethering check out WiFi Tether for root users, always works for me.
As for roms, Axiom S is by far the best.

I'm another vote for TrickDroid - I've been using it and it's incredible. It's also finalized now, so no more bugs.
Trickdroid for sure. It won't have Wifi calling since it's based off the international rom, but it's the cleanest, fastest, and best on battery.
Is Trickdroid still the best one?
A matter of opinion. I say No, Im sure someone else will say Yes.

Well I use Dark Jelly CM10, and its been rock solid for me. Everything works just fine.
If you like aosp style, liquid smooth by droyd is the best! That man rocks!!!
Hi guys!
Some really good roms around here; Trickdroid is a very cool sense based rom. The only thing i like about sense roms is the camera app anyway. I've always found aosp / aokp / cm faster. If you'd like to test some of them, LiquidSmooth is a very cool and fast cm-like rom and there's a port by Droyd in the dev forum. There's an unofficial aokp around too, which works pretty well.
I think the best thing to do is try someof them and keep the one you like the best!
cya!
Personally I think best ROM threads shouldn't be allowed. Just a matter of personal preference, on many device sub-forums they are banned anyway
Agreed "best rom" is maybe not the best way to go. I'd personally like to see a checklist of all the things that work/don't work/kinda work. Kind of like a compare feature like an online store has, so you could see exactly what you're getting in to. I've suggested this to XDA, but it probably got buried in all the other requests they get.
Hi All!
Recently, while surfing through the ocean of ROMs for my LG G2X P999, I came across this ROM. Couldn't find any link related to this on XDA. So thought of pointing the G2X owners to this link:
http://www.androidauthority.com/g2x-p999-t-mobile-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-unofficial-115536/
Flashed it just yesterday. Apart from the Video-recording did not notice any bugs so far. In fact I haven't used it enough to comment on bugs. But I can confirm that Calls and Wifi are both working fine.
If any one knows any prior publication of this work on XDA; please let me know so we can avoid duplicates.

Recently, while surfing through the ocean of ROMs for my LG G2X P999, I came across this ROM. Couldn't find any link related to this on XDA. So thought of pointing the G2X owners to this link:
http://www.androidauthority.com/g2x-p999-t-mobile-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-unofficial-115536/
Flashed it just yesterday. Apart from the Video-recording did not notice any bugs so far. In fact I haven't used it enough to comment on bugs. But I can confirm that Calls and Wifi are both working fine.
If any one knows any prior publication of this work on XDA; please let me know so we can avoid duplicates.

so data is working? i thought the data or radio was still broken. does this mean we may get a somewhat stable build of JB?
Still a hackfest.

Kinda blows that our phone is limited to cm7. I love cm7 as it is treating me well, but selection is always a nice privilege

I tried a couple different versions of CM7 over the past few days, and its nothing but a nightmare. It will run flawlessly for hours and then something quirky will happen and I either cant get data, or cant make calls, or my screen locks up, and im rebooting the phone or looking for a fix on google. Wound up just going back to the stock rom with faux123 kernel.

Well the problem is that other developers take the vanilla cm7 code and tweak/mod the hell out of it which is always awesome but they put out an unstable build/ROM. If you haven't tried vanilla CM7.2 from get.cm (latest build) then you're missing out. I have had the ROM installed running with mazout's latest kernel for over a week now and its been running extremely well. All and any problems that I experienced with this setup were directly due to ignorance and human error as I'm still a flaming n00b. At the same time they were great learning experiences and easily fixed.

The problem is going to lie in your setup somewhere.
Maybe kernel level as it is known that some G2xs will run great on Trinity but crash on Faux and vice versa. That's just a quick example.
I've run vanilla CM7 for like 13 months now and do not encounter the issues you are describing.
Soooo...what's your setup.

Data does work

Data does work but there is issue related to rapid battery drain. Back to my stock ROM. This hasn't been updated since a long time. I wonder if any developer at all is working on this phone or not!

You are late to the party... This device is a dying device. There's 1 dev working on a CM7 Kernel and that's about it. More than likely we will never see fully working 4.1.1 or higher on our device. They tried real hard and are some talented people (our devs), but LG handed them a broken pile of excrement and said, "here you go... Jellybeans!!"...

That's almost all true! I have another old phone, Mytouch4g/HTC Glacier. On that one I am running 4.2.2 and there is a lot of development still on. Huge number of ROMs which can be used as daily drivers. But here we don't even have a perfectly working 4.0.4. But again, no complain to Developers. they have tried really hard with a lot of time invested in this device. All the blame on LG.
This phone is lightning fast on 2.3.X variants. still very much usable. I may be late to the party, but the party is yet not over
I just want to chime in that I used this and the phone is working. The camera seems slower (and therefore more blurry). Other than that everything that I use (I do not use bluetooth, tethering, or wi-fi calling) is working. It's about the same speed as CM7 I had on here before. Don't know about battery since I only just did it.
If anyone knows any tricks for the camera please share. I babysit a toddler and his face is often blurry in photos. I'm pretty sure with this new ROM it will be even more blurred. I have already removed the plastic cover over the camera lens, it's not that issue. This is clearly software as it has gotten slower with this ROM.
We thought we might have a jellybean breakthrough when cm started deving cm10.1 on the p990 and had the courtesy of posting a half port of their work in progress. I believe it's called AdamPK's cm10.1 and is usually found with Mazout360 kernel. Hardware Acceleration Work so no camera, camcorder, sluggish or other problems that plagued the hackfests but they ran into and issue with the radio because O2x and G2x use different radio chips. So you have wifi but no data and battery can't be read correctly but other than that it would be as close to a perfect 4.x as we could get.

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.
