Anybody able to get that working? I think it is ROM based, so not an apk issue, and we may have to wait for Tmobile to release a rom no?

That won't happen (a T-Mobile ROM for the phone). T-Mobile's WiFi calling is based on a standard called IMS. There is test source code available, but no one has integrated it into AOSP (what CM is and most all other ROM's you'll find for this phone). This has been the case for years now and I doubt it'll change.
Not going to happen.
People are still begging for it on the Nexus 4, a year after launch.
Why not just use Google Voice?

I am curious if the Wifi Calling on this device is still available if you switch ROMs to one of the AOSP or Stock OTA Roms, I have a Nexus S but I will be moving to a place for a few months and the signal sucks completely and I will need to be able to receive calls from work on my phone.
Since the Nexus S doesn't support this and the fix doesn't appear to be anytime soon, I was checking to see if this device will allow it outside of the stock ROM from T-Mobile
Yes, Wifi calling is available on other roms besides stock.

thank you so much for this reply.
I have talked to T-Mobile about the Nexus S and they were surprised that they couldn't provide Wifi Calling on it. And unlike AT&T and a few other providers, T-Mobile doesn't offer a Femtocell as a option.

It works on CM7 but has a couple issues still, and on EB Froyo it works flawless. I have been on this rom for about a week and I have to use wifi calling at my house so it is always on and I have had no problems.
Does anyone know the exact files, apks, libs, etc required to make wifi calling work?
I compared the latest EU rom and TMOUS rom and have a general idea but i'm not exactly sure which extra/different files make it functional.
I'm trying to make a MIUI rom based on the stock Tmobile for functional wifi calling.
still need some insight on this...
I would like to know as well. I also would like to add wifi calling to MIUI. But I have a T-Mobile Galaxy s2. But maybe the files are the same

Sorry guys sometime ago T-mobile changed how wifi calling is integrated into android. It used to just be a few files but not anymore. Currently no one has gotten Wifi calling working on a non T-mobile based rom since it was integrated into the framework. Once someone figures it out it will most likely apply to all phones but right now we got nothing.
There is actually an $1100 bounty to get it working on the Nexus 4 and so far devs are stumped.
I saw that the Binaries for GSM/LTE were posted, but didn't see anything for CDMA. I can't find the thread now, but I recall reading a post where somebody mentioned that AOSP ROMS wouldn't be fully functional on N5 phones on Sprint's network. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? If you do, please elaborate. I want to slap on AOKP or CM 11 once they are available. Since this is a Triband device, I hadn't consider AOSP ROMS would be an issue using Sprint.
It's disappointing isn't it ? Developers ignoring a genuine question because the lot if then don't care about CDMA even though it's a nexus and their supposed to improve upon the device and they completely alienated sprint users on aosp Roms. They refuse to even acknowledge LTE not working on aosp roms and don't even treat it as a bug.

I have had the ****s of CDMA anyhow -- I'm tired of the locked down mentality. I use Ting (and love their service), but they use Sprint as their backbone and, just once, it'd be nice if I could use any damn phone I want simply by popping in a SIM and adjusting the APN settings. I think I need to try a decent ATT MVNO for a while. I returned my nexus 5 and will try again in January. The audio issues caused by software and manufacturing goofs are unacceptable to me. I'm more than happy to switch to a GSM Gnex for now, to get away from CDMA.
Is there a list of AOSP ROMs that will allow full functionality on Ting (or any CDMA network, if they're all the same)? Are there viable alternatives?
On my Galaxy S3, I ran a Touchwiz-based ROM to work around the issue. I don't mind using the stock ROM for now, but I'd like to know if I should just look for a new MVNO that won't cause these headaches.
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

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.

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.
Hello,
I'm getting a 7 Pro on Friday, and it will be an unlocked model. I would like a ROM that has the TMobile specific features intact (RCS, Wi-Fi calling, HD voice, etc)
Is there such a ROM??
Nope.

What a bummer. So you either go with T-Mobile features, or the unlocked variant??

What TMO features I wonder?
RCS that is compatible with other T-Mo users. If I use the stock messenger, I can use the "chat" features with any other T-Mo user with Android. If I use the international version, it doesn't seem that I do. Which is a bummer. I know I can use Google Messenger, but no one I know uses it. I do however, know a few people who DO use the T-Mobile one, mostly because they don't know about it, and just use stock.
I have had my T-Mobile version with a custom ROM for a long time now. I used the all-in-one tweak tool. For some reason the newer ones wouldn't flash I had to flash the old version 9.5.8 AA something. And then let T-Mobile do the updates. That brought me to 10.0 .02? then I was able to install ice Smurf kernel and no limits.. but no limits has been kind of spotty for me I just found out today that you have to hide the I'd? For no limits to get it to work correctly I hope. But the phone's been Rock solid I did at twrp back up as soon as I finish the updates. V o l t e & v o Wi-Fi has been working great. I have all the T-Mobile goodness without any of the bloatware. I highly recommend Smurf kernel. And high brightness mode when comparing to other people's phones. Lol no matter what I do the camera still kind of sucks but the video is really good.

You can use RCS anyways. Google released it for all skipping carriers because carriers were taking too long to implement into their own software. I'm using chat features RCS on my T-Mobile 7 pro running havoc OS
Yes, but it's only compatible with other Messages users, since Google uses UP 1.0, and T-Mo does not. So I lose the ability to chat with T-Mo Android users when I use Google Messages.
I am running open beta 12 on my t-mo variant and I have all the features working(rcs,wifi calling, VoLTE/VoWiFi ,etc). I flashed to international version the minute I opened the phone. Didn't even insert sim card until after I unlocked bootloader. This was day one about a month ago. No Issues at all
Note: i do use google messages app. I just like it over stock messaging app.
Well, people need to smell the coffee, Google messaging is the best Android messaging app.
I have found the latest version of crDroid to have working VoLTE and VoWiFi on T-Mobile. Can't speak to RCS.
I haven't been able to get WiFi calling to work on any custom Pie ROM yet. Haven't tested other Android 10 ROMs yet, but if I do, I'll report back.
