[Q] Wifi calling on Virtuous Unity v1.29.0/1.31.0 - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been looking for Tmobile wifi calling app that is compatible with Virtuous Unity ROMs. I found this patch in the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15293933&highlight=unity-glacier-v1.26.1b-wifi-calling-MDJ#post15293933
However after flashing the zip into VU 1.29/31 (full-wiped installation) my cell phone radio just died due to SIM card error... The Tmo wifi app wasn't activated as well because it requires reading the SIM card... I kept looking for two days but only got some patches for kernels prior to the release of 1.29, which I think is dated.
Can anyone provide the right apk or flashable zip files (with links to the OPs)? Thanks.

I'm not sure what your issue is. VU comes with the T-Mobile WiFi Calling app and it works great out of the box.

I supposed the wifi calling app is build in the VU, too! But I've never seen one in these two versions... I downloaded them from Virtuous official site and did full wipes when installing. What could be wrong?
If it is included in the VU, how can I extract the app and install it manually?
--My Touch4G on TMOUS, running on Virtuous Unity 1.31.0

Sorry man, have absolutely no idea what you're exactly referring to. The TMO Wifi calling app is built in, it should be in your app drawer. I see it every time.

I just did a full wipe from recovery and reinstalled 1.31 again. There is no WiFi calling app in my drawer I swear... Am I the only person having this issue?
Thanks for your reply anyway!

Are you downloading the ROM from the official source and verifying the MD5 before flashing?

It's right there. So don't know why you're not seeing it. This is a fresh flash.

Yes I verified the md5 on right on the SD card: f50ca157513387db244b927a9db4e4a3 -- correct
I only do fresh, full-wipe (data, cache and dalvik) installations but never seen the app in previous 3 or 4 attempts.
Is there any log of installation that may be helpful?

Did you wipe /system? Is your phone compatible with WiFi calling? (Virtuous Unity supports different phones with the same ROM file, some users randomly go posting in other forums).l are you on T-Mobile? Have you already connected to wifi with the random "Did you know" popup appearing?

Yes this is a MT4G on TmoUS. I had been using WiFi calling on the stock froyo until I started to flash VU 1.29/31 last week. Every flash ever since is after a full wipe.
I have never seen the "Did you know?" thing after fresh flashes of VU. However after flashing the patch in my OP it shows up at boot.
But it is not working for the reason said.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

Just in case you have any doubt, the following is EXACTLY how I flashed the VU 1.31.
Verified:
1. It is a MT4G or HTC Glacier (the VU installation script also recognized it)
2. I'm on Tmobile US and have used wifi calling before.
3. md5 checked on SD card same as official release.
Procedure:
1. Reboot into CWM recovery 3.0.2.4 from the power option in a running VU 1.31.
2. -backup and restore -> Backup
3. -wipe data/factory reset
4. -wipe cache partition
5. mounts and storage -> format /system
6. advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
7. install zip from sdcard -> virtuous_unity-v1.31.0.zip
Results:
1. No "Do you know your phone can make calls over wifi..." pop-ups on boot.
2. No wifi calling app in my drawer. <pic>
Thanks for all your responses. I think I want to give up at this point. Maybe submit a bug report. Too many flashes in a day... tired.

With the details you provided, I see no reason why WiFi calling shouldn't show up. It's a mystery to me at this point.

Yeah its not only a mystery but frustration to me.. Is there a log file of the installation to track down the problem? I took a shot of the messages from the installer but it looks okay.

I would try reporting it in the bug tracker or contact the devs direcetly via PM or Twitter.

Rooted MyTouch 4G CM7 issue.

I have recently rooted and installed CM7 RC1 on my MyTouch 4G everything seemed to be going well for the first about 30 mins i got gapps installed (manually btw) but suddenly after the phone started to install apps from the android marketplace i can no longer long press on the home screen nor can i move widgets i can still feel the haptic feedback but no response.
Sounds like a bad install, reinstall clear all user data, cache, dalvik-cache and fix permissions before booting back up.

Thanks ill try that right now and come back with any other issues. That presist after re-install.
Also wanted to state that for installing Gapps i had to do it the Manual way if that matters or if anybody is having trouble installing them.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I never do anything important like that in rom manager, always boot into recovery.

i had that same problem and it was a simple fix on my part. i actually had accidently hit lock desktop under the more menu on the desktop screen. u can long press and nothing happens or cant move widgets while the desktop is locked. try seeing under the desktop menu if it is locked if so unlock it and that should work. hope this helps some

Cant get ROM's flashed... I've been demoted to a noob... =/

So I rooted and switched ROM's many times on my MT3g, and now that i'm trying it on my MT4g, I'm having hella trouble.
So I got to S=off and its perarooted now, with ClockworkMod Recovery image: 3.0.2.4. I tried to update the Kernel to KB-Kernel-2.4.8-108-CFS-SV... put my phone with the stock ROM into a boot loop, so i restored it. Tried to update the Kernel then immediately install CM-7.0.0... again put it into a boot loop, and had to restore. What am i missing here? Should be partitioning like with my MT3g? Should i be wiping? Is there something else I should be installing?

That's your problem. You can't flash a kernel before the ROM, because the ROM's standard kernel immediately overwrites it. Try wiping all 3 items in the recovery menu, flash CM7, and then let it boot. Once CM7 is stable, try flashing your kernel. Just make sure it is compatible.
Sweet, thanks. Hopefully it works.

Then flash your Rom and reboot. Once its rebooted then try flashing the kernel. There is no reason that won't work assuming you do have s-off
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
If what Mark said doesn't work, I'd look to a corrupt recovery image, or more likely a bad download or SD card.
Aww... I'd be hella sad if I had a bad sdcard. My problem was that I wasn't wiping the correct things, but now thanks to you great people I finally can flash again! Thanks!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Glad you got it working. If Mark or I have helped you, maybe you could hit the thanks button.
Make sure when you do a kernel you wipe cache and than davlvik and than flash the first time kernel and than repeat the process and than flash your desired kernel.

thederekjay MIUI rom wifi calling issue

I've been using the following MIUI for a few versions, and the most recent one breaks wifi calling for me. When I first flashed the rom, it did an endless reboot until I booted the rom in safemode. Then it would actually load correctly but wifi calling force closes every time.
Has this happened for anyone else? Any ideas?

I understand you don't have enough post to do so in the Dev section. But that is where this really belongs. You'll get more reply and it'll bring more attention because the dev will read that thread looking for issues.

Yeah I know it should have been in the dev section, but as you stated, I can't post there yet. Hopefully can after this post!
thederekjay, thanks for the response! I reflashed the rom twice with the same response both times. I then redownloaded the rom, checked the md5 and verified that it was the same as the previous download and it was, but still had the same issue. When I first flash the rom and it boots into it, it endlessly reboots, never getting passed the gingerbread MIUI screen, until I hold menu and let it boot into safe mode. I then reboot the phone, and it will boot normally but wifi will FC immediately and every time I run it after. Everything else seems to work flawlessly though. WIFI calling is a big deal to me though because I get poor reception in my apartment so I've relied on it in the past. I did notice that no one else reported this issue though. Weird that I'm the only one having it. I'll try to reflash with the new update you posted the other day to fix the MMS issue and see if that works better.
BTW, love the rom! Thanks for the work you put into it!
I believe that it's clockwork not wiping correctly regardless of reflashing the recovery.

I'll try this as soon as I get home!
also, I noticed that your signature, thederekjay, says that you are using ext4. A friend of mine mentioned that on his galaxy S captivate that he switched to ext4 and it ran much faster. Do I need to do something special for that, and is it advantageous to do so?

It would be added into the rom Friday. Ext4 has significant speed boost over ext3. The system is initially faster on start up. The overall os. Probably the reason Google choose to make gingerbread ext 4. Overall optimization by using it. Not all roms are full ext 4 usually ext3 mounted as ext4. The reason Samsung galaxy phones first ones were so slow were due to rfs really outdated. That's why when your friend used ext 4 it was a dramatic increase. This is pretty much the differences ext3 vs ext4.http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4

I'm not sure it is a problrm with the zip. I think it may be a cwm problem. I tried the link you posted for the other site and same white screen. When I try to do more than two maneuvers (for lack of a better term) in cwm I get the android in the box with the arrow. Going to try to find the .zip for cwm and reflash it.

Same issue here, stuck at the white HTC screen
i've tried all of the rooted zips and md5 checked out fine.

Looking for a mod for T-Mobile G2

Hi,
Is there a mod out there that is best suited for a T mobile G2? It would be nice to know the Android 4.0 mods that work best for it.
Also, I frequently use the T-Mobile Wifi Calling app to place calls over my wifi connection. Is there a way to make this app work? I have it downloaded, but it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone out there got this working?
Thanks
ummm, so you are looking to chang to android 4.0 and have the ability to use wifi calling over the tmobile network?
if you are rooted than good
flash either mimicry or elitemod ics
make sure to have the .19 radio (look @ edkeys page for help with this, as he also has updated libs as well as some info on the wifi calling)
if your not rooted then you got a lot more work ahead of you

Hi,
This is exactly what I'm looking for. Can you confirm if I've come across the right mods for my purposes?
mimicry: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28412-romjuly-27-andromadus-mimicry-v131-ics-cm9-rc2/
elitemod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700436
? Have I found the right roms? If so, which one seems the more popular out of the above?
and is this the edkeys guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664106
Does the guide work for both mods or just mimicry?
Thanks
yes those will all work
and mimicry also has a thread here on xda fyi
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Just remember that there's a bug in mimicry 1.3.1 right now (more a bug in the aroma installer but still...). Where it doesn't correctly install the kernel if you select wifi calling.
So what you have to do to make it work, is to install it without wifi calling, then re-run the zip again and install it with wifi calling.
With elitemod, you just simply flash the tmobile wifi calling zip after installing eitemod.
That makes sense. Mimicry worked for me even though I didn't see your cautionary post.
I do have a question. I already had an ICS mod on my phone before I installed mimicry. It seems doing that kind of 'upgraded' my phone instead of freshly installing mimicry. All my apps, sms, data, etc. are all still there. How can I do a clean install? I am using the bootloader rom manager. I'm still new rooting/mods so pardon my newb-like question.
Thanks!!!
there are a few ways, the cleanest wipe is fastboot -w
the next best is a superwipe script that also reformats system/data/cache
the next best is to boot into recovery and wipe everything down the line
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Thanks!
Will any of these methods remove my bootloader/rom manager with which I will install my new ICS?
How does one do a fastboot -w? You boot into the fastboot and do a -w script? I googled and couldn't find much.
yes you just boot into fastboot and type fastboot devices, if you see yours the type fastboot -w
it will not change yourbootloader, none of these methods will, any wipe will erase the os so rom manager will be gone but your recovery will stay intact, so when you flash your new os you will have to install rom manager from the market again if it doesn't come with the rom (if you have paid version it will not have to be paid for again)
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
I'm assuming I need to connect my phone to my computer in usb debugging mode to type in the fastboot commands? as there isn't a terminal when I boot the phone in fastboot?
Cheers
correct, and when you open cmd it has to be pointed to fastboot.exe

Thanks! That helped and the phone is awesome now.
