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.

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.
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?
Anyone running the google pixel 2 on AT&T unlocked? If so thoughts, I've been reading that VoLTE does not work nor does WiFi calling. I have a Samsung S8 that I purchased from Best Buy and I flashed the AT&T firmware to get all this working. I know that this phone is not on AT&T so I doubt there will be a way to flash any firmware since this device is not sold by AT&T.
Anyway, just throwing it out there for feedback from Google Pixel 2 users on AT&T.
I signed up for Android beta, and had VoLTE and HD voice on AT&T, but not wifi calling. I switched back to the Nov security release to see if Bluetooth issues were fixed and those things went away. I have since re-signed up for the beta, but haven't gotten an OTA yet for the next beta, but I'd assume they will come back. So the answer to your question is yes and no....

Thank you for the feedback, this is the only thing that keeps me from buying this phone unlocked. At&T service sucks where I work, so I'm dependent on WiFi calling functionality. I think I may have to switch to Verizon if I really want this phone.
I went back and forth on keeping it vs going back to my HTC One M9 that seemed to work flawlessly.... The Pixel 2 is nice and the battery is sweet, but I feel like the technology goes backwards sometimes with the Bluetooth issues and lack of some casting support. I decided to keep it, in the hopes that the Bluetooth issues will get resolved, and the battery life. I have good AT&T service, so those things I never had, I didn't even know what I was missing.

I have an S8 that I purchased out right unlocked from Best Buy. The phone is good but I get irritated because it runs like a snail from time to time and it drives me insane. A quick reboot fixes it all but then after some use (days) it's starts doing it again. Maybe it's all the dumb Samsung bloatware that slows it down. Which is why I like the clean vanilla UI on the pixel 2.

I can confirm that HD voice works fine on my unlocked Pixel 2 on AT&T. HD voice was added in Android 8.1.

Not sure. You can test it yourself though. Find another phone (person) on AT&T with a handset that supports HD voice and make a phone call - making sure you're in well covered LTE area.
You will see "HD" displayed on you Pixel 2 screen under the name of the person you're calling.
Hello, I would like to know if OnePlus phones get their updates via LTE or do they require WiFi?
I'm in a situation where I don't have access to WiFi and my current phone, S20fe, requires WiFi for updates,
Thanks in advance.

I think they will work without wifi, but you have to manually start the download yourself (it will not auto download, just tell you that an update is available). Not entirely sure about that though. If not you can always use the oxygen updater app (not official oneplus app!) to download the update over LTE and install it with the local upgrade option.

Thnx so much for taking the time to provide me with the info.
I hope the 9Pro is half decent because it sounds promising,
The 8T does not require WIFI to update...at least mine doesn't! I had the S20FE for awhile and it did not require WIFI either...I wonder why yours does? I also had the S10E and it DID need WIFI which was one of the reasons I dumped it! Personally I think it is NOT dependent on the phone, but rather on your wireless provider along with the particular phone.

Can I ask you what carrier you are currently using? I have Verizon Wireless but I don't know if the update has to come from them or directly from Samsung? Either way I'm looking forward to getting off the Samsung hype train because I really don't like One UI.

Whats the best OTA to install using the OnePlus 9 in America?
Im on the LE2110DA version. Is that as good as its gonna get? Running Omega Kernal?
Check your telegram
Question is so which OTA is Tmobile if I wanna use that. Because my Google FI runs on Tmobile. Misewell try that variant right?
If you read up youll see lol.
LE2110 DA 11.2.8.8
Also using the wonderful Omega Kernal.

Forgive my knowledge but which variant is le2110DA? If its oneplus 9 5g, omega kernel works? I thought omega kernel js only for the pro variant.
Best one for North America would be the LE2115. LE2110 is the China variant which is missing some 4G/5G bands used in NA.
I got 5G, im just wondering if the OTA versions make a difference.
Yes its the Unlocked Chinese Version. LE2110.
So is there a difference between AA, BA and DA as far a cell quality?
Software doesn't give you access to additional bands. You might have SA41 (tmo) but more likely you are just on b2/66 and tmo just gives you the 5G icon. Check with cellmapper to be sure. Your best bet is to get rid of the 2110 and get an actual US device if you want proper 5g
I was thinking the same thing about the 5G icon. It goes from LTE to 5G sometimes.
My speeds are about 50-60mbps when im not connected to wifi. You guys think thats pretty fair and decent?
avid_droid said:
For me, Tmo has had the least of issues. No data or calling issues. No Bluetooth issues such as robot voices on car stereo and better distance outside of vehicle. No odd hiccups.
Although people are mislead with T-Mobiles update numbers not matching,they're actually the same. 11.2.8.8 for AA,DA,BA will be realeased on TMobile as 11.2.6.6. it's the same patches and iterations.
Looking forward to either Monday or Tuesday to getting my new op9.
Selling my imac tomorrow and will not be getting a computer for awhile as I'm tired of either breaking phones or bricking them.

My first oneplus arrives tomorrow, so it's safe to say I should flash the t-mobile rom over my unlocked vanilla rom? I do live in an area where t-mobile isn't the strong hence why I dumped my verizon s21 ultra for something where I can easily control options down to the service menu etc. Funny I tested my non branded moto g and had less call drops with a tmobile sim than I did with my verizon unlocked s21 with the tmb sim.

That's more like 4G speed. 5G speed would be more than double that. But again, it depends on the area you're in and the coverage for your carrier.

Does anyone have the latest T-Mo modem files? I'm currently on the Europe 11.2.8.8 image but I've been having radio problems since I moved off of the T-Mo base (started with 11.2.4.4 global). I'm getting bad call quality, Wifi and BT issues, and seeming slow data.
I'd like to try flashing the modem files first before redoing the whole thing with MSM.
One other thing - going back to a T-Mo load with MSM won't SIM relock my phone, will it?
Thanks!
Use the Omega Kernal.
But as far as the best Variant. I've been on all of them AA, BA(which your on now) and DA. I think they are all the same besides the DA runs the smoothest out of all the variants

What would Omega kernel do for me? And as that one in the Pro forum?
I've downloaded bluspark, but haven't used it yet. Only stock kernel
Bro Omega kernal is off the chain. So much battery life. Not sure as far for connection. And yeah 9 and 9 Pro are universal.
Thanks. I'll give it a try. Do I install it thru TWRP? I've used Elemental X for so long not sure how other kernels work.
I use EX Kernal Manager
