[MOD] T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling 01/22/2012

READ BEFORE FLASHING.
Nandroid.
POST 1- This gets it running on ALMOST any ROM on the Infuse 4G. It walks you step by step in setting up your build.prop to acknowledge the libs and flashing it. I recommend doing post 2 if your ROM already has a pre made fix.
POST 2- These are pre made to the ROM which is then just flash and go. None of that editing, required, but also have tweaks and fixes I put in myself to give you the best satisfaction.
Examples of the changes made are battery saving tweaks, forced hardware accelerated graphics if not already enabled, phone model spoofed to the T-Mo Galaxy S II in the market so you can download T-Mo apps like "My Account", carrier ID changed to T-Mobile so you get to see T-Mobile apps in market, a higher events per second value giving you ultra smooth scrolling, and 100% best quality JPEGs. Check post 2 for what ROMs are available
Note, doing post 2's method will spoof it into a T989 (SGSII) so posting on xda will leave the wrong sig unless you change it
Now to the fun part
------------------------
I got the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling libs and apks working, tested it out and it works only IF you follow my instructions.
I have this running on Darky's 10.4 ROM on my unlocked infuse.
***ONLY FOR T-MOBILE USERS***
1) BEFORE flashing the zip. Go to /system/build.prop and open using root explorer or some similar file manager with ROOT permissions.
2) go to the very BOTTOM of the prop, and add in exactly this:
Code:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so
rilswitch.vendorlibpath=/system/lib/libsec-ril.so
rilswitch.ganlibpath=/system/lib/libganril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyS0
It'll look like this at the bottom

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3) boot into recovery and wipe cache & dalvik just to be safe
4) flash the zip. T-MobileWiFiCall-AnyROM
5) reboot.
6) ENJOY.
Bugs:
-Changing the density causes the app to FC
-That's the only bug
Oh. Picture for proof?
Sorry I did this all on my phone. Ill fix it up later.

It'd still work, its just it won't register on the wifi calling. The app reads the sim as security. So all you essentially did was add an app. T-Mobile users get unlimited minutes over wifi.

You are invincible this is great. I have horrible signal at home and this has just made life easier for me. I almost regretted getting the infuse. Just tested and works like a charm I am using this right now. I am super excited.
I bought one of those wireless hubs you carry around with you from clearwireless for $35 a month with unlimited internet so now I can use wifi calling all day long. This has been my workaround since 3G is non existent on unlocked Tmobile Infuse editions.
if you can get 3G working on this with some type of edit that would be amazing lol I'd donate 100 on completion of that project. The stars under my name show I am an honest guy when it comes to donating to the cause. I know that the infuse hardware cant do Tmobile 3G but if there is a workaround that would be awesome.

Nothing is free. Try grooveIP with google voice. It works pretty well. Wifi calling for tmobile on the infuse is great.

I think I may have, but I wanna confirm it's not just all my messing around with the phone.
While it's connect to wifi calling, turn off wifi. wait a bit, does it turn back on by itself?

Not invincinble- just persistent.
Also, don't forget to call T-Mobile ans tell them you have Wi-Fi calling (..somehow) and that you want the wifi unlimited minutes feature added on.
Also, I want everybody to post their ROM names so I can gather a list of confirmed and which way you did it, whether you followed post 1 or you just flashed the darky fix meant only for darky._.
As for 3G - the Galaxy S 4G can get AT&T's 3G bands but for some reason the Infuse doesn't. The radios just don't receive the one missing frequency that T-Mobile airs. No modem update can change that.

It automatically restarts when wifi picks it up. I leave it on all day whether i have wifi or not and it just kicks in when wifi is strong enough.
Currently using ZEUS v5.

Added the ZEUS BUILD 5 ROM to my supported, and made a custom ZIP for it. Has a few tweaks to it, too. Would be nice if you could flash and confirm it works?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If you're referring to the maximum allowable SMS/MMS that your application will show, that's easy. As for 'storage', that is also a simple fix. Are you trying to store all SMS/MMS to the sdacrd? Also, what are your device's specs: i.e.: are you rooted running a custom rom with an AOPK messaging app or similar, or rooted stock 2.3.6., or otherwise?

Well its for my sister ATRIX 2 stock no root running 2.3.6 for some reason she wants to know if the phone will save more than its 1000 msg limit, or if there's a way to keep saving her msgs somewhere else like her sd card or a cloud service

The screenshot here is clearly running a custom rom. This IS NOT stock 2.3.6. However, just change the numeric value in the maximum SMS window to 2500. Unless she is a teenager, I can't imagine hitting more than that in a bill cycle. Even if she does, all that will happen is the oldest ones will "fall off" from being able to read in the SMS app. I don't know of ANY logical reason to keep every single text message you, her, or anyone gets for more than a few days. This max value should suffice, unless there's something you know that I don't!

Download the file attachment I am sending you for the AOPK messaging .apk. Install like any other .apk file (make sure unknown sources box is ticked in settings>applications>unknown sources!) You should be able to adjust the max MMS/SMS numbers there.

MMS. apk Installed. Problem.
First I'll say that I love the new messenger, but for some reason when I get a text from someone it sends it twice. In other words I receive two messages for every one sent. Help?

Would recommend Go sms pro (free basic features) go premium and can backup to sd or cloud and a whole bunch more..... I got well over 3000 texts on one thread..... Also has a Butt load of themes nice Ui and to many settings..... Free texting through wifi or data.....At least worth taking a look at.....

The best way to get the proper apn settings is to call the provider. They will tell you what they are. It may be faster than waiting for a response from someone here.

This is true. But AT&T's apn, should be all over Google. Plus, most of the time, when calling tech support, they have no clue what APNs are, are they may refer to what they have in their systems (BROADBAND, PHONE, PDPWAP1, PTA, etc).

Discoveries in new firmware update.

Since the other thread has several posts making it clear it is to talk about Modem only....
I decided to unroot and bravely take the new update all in the name of science and discovery as well as I like to do stupid things. And well selfishly I was intrigued by the possibility of improved wifi as my device continuously connected to my work WiFi then disconnected and connected again to drain my battery or until I remembered to turn it off.
We all know about the smearing fix and apps to SD. Here is a list of their changes I have noticed. Feel free to use this as a general discussion of the update.
-The haptic feedback is softer now.
-Camera firmware has updated and so far seems to have improved image quality.
-If you had WIFI problems, mine are resolved to I am 95% positive yours will be too. <-- WiFi then proved just as troublesome.
-Smoother transition effects (the effect itself seems new to me)
- on the about device page in settings there is a secure boot status now.(there has been talk about this for this update, I didn't remember anything there before.) Screenshot included.

Can you please try to flash a Loki ROM? This is the question that still needs to be answered >.<

I've noticed only these few things from just a few minutes.
- New Wallpapers
- About Device Icon is now Yellow
- Icon for Battery in App Drawer
- Icon for Data in App Drawer
I'll probably notice more as I have it longer, I don't know if this is new. But I never noticed the bubbles on messaging before to indicate I have a message, so I don't know if that's new.
Edit: It feels a heck of a lot smoother to.

Thanks for the info. Have you tried phone signal strength in an area where before the modem update your service was weak? If so any improvement?
Thanks

To late for me to flash any roms until a root patch comes to this firmware. When the patched firmware with the root access is posted later by scrosler then hopefully someone can answer that question assuming the only change in it is the addition of superuser.
I am 99% certain that if it can't be rooted then it can't be lokied until Loki is updated.

I see people complain about WiFi all the time, and 99% of the time it's the router and not the phone.
Your work router sucks, that is why your phone is having issues. No firmware update is gunna fix that.

I would normally want to agree but I've used a number a phones and devices Samsung and other manufacturers on the router with no problems. This phone has trouble staying connected. I understand it has to do with a certain chip set. This to me says no reason the router manufacturer and users need to make changes for 1 device. Samsung needs to investigate and make the fix. Hopefully it can be a software fix.
If you bought a new lawnmower that didn't cut your grass, would you blame the grass or lawnmower? Considering the grass hasn't changed and the old mower cut it just fine until it broke, I would assume you would diagnose the new mower.

It will not run on it.. You will either have to change your build.prop or edit the apk. I tried running in on my dads s4 and it just says it is for the S4 active only. It wont even run on the i9295 version of the active just i537

Forgot about the build.prop.
I don't know how to specifically change that, but I'm guessing you would just need to break down the APK, modify, and repackage it?

I'm hoping to look into the APK when I can.

I guess... it would be best to have either Geohot to do it or just another dev that can just rewrite a script using the exploit he had.

Good luck finding Geohot, he made the Apk and we haven't heard from him since.

Only because other devs started attacking him claiming he was stealing other peoples work...

I just tried running it. I ran with no errors and no root. I will still look into it when I get home. Geohot did seem different when I read through the thread. I will carefully proceed so to try not to offend any other developers.

Anyone been able to get the Virgin anywhere app to work

As per title, been trying to get this app and its not in the play store for the z1, although apparently its available for the z1, my mates got it on his note 3 an it works just fine. I've tried xposed play store fixes but it makes no difference.

"As per title, been trying to get this app and its not in the play store for the z1"
Yea i ment the app the actual name is virgin tv anywhere too, thought that would be obvious to anyone who actually has it.
I've also read that it's available for the Z1 but it's not appearing in the play store for me? Not 100% as to why but it's hidden.
Perhaps my device is reported as something else other than the Z1, I do have play store fixes on my phone via xposed but I have turned that off and tried again to no avail.
So anyone who's got it on their z1 and has it working, can you share as to how please?
Cheers.

Try to Google "virgin tv anywhere market" and open first link.
I'm seeing it that way, can't download but maybe it's available in your country.

Tried an APK the other day and it wouldn't install. Not 100% as to why.
That links dead too m8.
I have a working APK, (by working I mean that it's a valid APK and will try to install), I get a not installed error, do you think pushing to system it may install? Or do you think altering permissions may get it to run? Cheers m8.

Wait a bit - I'll upload fully working version.
It's 30Mb so it'll take few mins to upload.
That one works without any problems...

Right? For some strange reason, I tried to install from the play store on the internet rather than the one on the phone and it's found my phone and installed the app?
Weird.
Thanks for trying m8, I appreciate your help

That's why I said - try via Google (web).
That way market can't read your phone files (prop files) and install apk.without problem.
Great, if all works

I tried that yesterday though and it said I don't have any devices that it's installable on, but today it worked ?

Bloody thing doesn't work on rooted phones Anyone get this working, let me know.
Root cloak didn't work, nor did hide my root.
What a pain in the backside.

Not on a z1 but on my nexus 4 I had to temp disable root from within the supersu app.
Is your z1 on Virgin mobile by the way, I'm hoping to get one soon so interested to see you've managed to root yours.

Nope i'm on EE, but don't buy direct from a carrier as you most likely won't be able to unlock the bootloader, i found that out the hard way, ended up sending it off for repair when i bricked it, but sent it via a third party and got back an unlockable phone.
You don't want to go down that road m8.
So on the Nexus 4 you were able to use the app by doing what exactly? Removing root from within the superuser app itself??
PS: In all fairness the Z1 is a great phone but if you are looking to buy then hold fire and get something else in a few months, theres some pretty beefy phones on the way, the HTC One (2) will be a winner.

Actually now that I think about it, in selected the option to perm unroot the phone so not ideal..... Although with nexus 4 I just had to reflash supersu from recovery to get it back. Not ideal.
As for my next phone, I'm giving up on HTC after 4 previous phone, I got fed up of sense.
Of course the z2 will be announced later this month so I might hold off and see....

Nah m8, HTC Sense is by far and away the best UI there is, it just works and is functional to perfection.
Only went with the Z1 as on paper it was great, i've had my ups and downs with it and it's been ok as of late.
I do miss some HTC features though.
I'm using the Nexus 5 launcher too so besides the camera and stock apps theres very little left from stock.
As for the Virgin app not working, i could remove root but any time i decide to mess with my phone i always end up having to redo the whole thing. The maker of rootcloak has recognised that the virgin app doesn't work and is most likely working on a fix, so hopefully at some point it'll be functional, more and more people will want to use the app as it's a great thing to have on your phone, being rooted simply shouldn't be an issue and Virgin are a55holes for making it an issue just because the powers that be have told them to.

Unfortunately Virgin are no different to Sky etc - the content providers insist on protecting from root, otherwise they won't licence the channels. No point in blaming Virgin really, the industry is the issue. The irony of course is that on PCs/Macs it's much easier to rip streams than a tablet/phone so why the restrictions on mobile devices when laptops etc are a greater risk is beyond me.
However, good news is that the latest version of TV Anywhere (downloaded today from Play store) which is now compatible with 4.4 seems to work with Rootcloak - I just tried it on my Nexus 10 (not tried my Z1 yet but not so bothered about use on phone) and it asks for superuser (which I denied) and even though I get a toast message from SuperUser (saying 'denied') it gets through and streams channels
Not sure if they realise and will fix that in a later version, but will definitely be backing up this version's .apk

Ah cheers for letting me know m8, that's some good news at least, I only wanted it to work as it's available and i already pay for the XXL package with virgin so may as well get something out of them, i'm putting an AOSP rom on my phone later on today so will check out the app again, i've got root cloak so i'm good to go, just need to reflash my phone, just out of interest do you have the paid or free version of rootcloak?
Cheers m8.

Just the free one, I've only recently started to explore xposed modules
