Hey guys. So I've noticed that there don't seem to be any Roms available for tmo g2 that include WiFi calling. I really loved Cloudy's G3 rom; It looked absolutely beautiful. Thing is, It doesn't have WiFi calling and I can't go without it as there is no signal in my office. Is there a way to side load the feature after the rom is installed? Can devs possibly include this as an option in aroma? Any help would be great.

does stock rom have wifi calling? and isn;t it carrier specific ?
If it is in stock rom then there a very real chance it could get ported.

Yes, WiFi calling is a T-Mobile feature in most of their phones. I can make calls and send sms messages without any additional software or configuration as long as I am connected to wifi. It's a very nice feature and one I don't think would be hard to port. I know the CloudyG3 rom has T-Mobile option in Aroma so it could just be included in the system install for that option. I just don't really know what files are dependent on that part of the system. I'm sure a lot of T-Mobile G2 owners would love to flash some quality roms if they could keep their WiFi calling ability.
+1 Using G3 ROM for the looks and performance. But I need wifi calling. I dont use much but at times I need that feature.
Even Cloudy stock wont support it.
Energy Rom is the only custom Rom that supports it - it is based on stock jellybean though.

If you're not able to talk on a call and pass data at the same time, the odds are that your data isn't getting a 3G connection and is falling back to an EDGE connection (which isn't capable of simultaneous data/voice). Since you just flashed a new ROM I would post in the section for that ROM and say that your data is EDGE now instead of 3G...I'm guessing you'll need to try a new radio or something similar, but that's the best place to look for the answer.

Gotcha, well yes then I'd start there. I don't know if any of the custom ROM's for this phone have a different radio version than stock, but if yours does then that could be the root of the issue. Or, just a bad flash even
I am having some major issues with the wifi on my slide. When I have the rooted software installed. I have tried both the stock cynogen 6.0.0 rom and the teamfenix version but still cannot get the wifi to work on my home network. I haven't found any other roms to try though.
fyi:
Works fine on stock rom
home network is open with no mac filtering or anything like that.
I also have heard that flashing the radio might help but I thought that was separate from the wifi and the antenna works fine. I also have no issues with a data connection through the network.
Also if someone could recommend a way of transferring the phone program from the sense rom to the root rom that would be great. (I like the way it gives you the number it thinks you are about to dial, makes calls more fluid actions)
So... ideas?

A few: The latest known radio for the slide is 7.09.35.10. If you have that you don't need to reflash it. CM 6.0 has a known issue with the wifi that you can fix by turning on bluetooth. You don't have to have bluetooth connect to anything, just have it on. I don't know why that works but it does. Or you can flash the latest nightly for the slide. You can find it through ROM Manager, but you'll need the paid version to do that, which is totally worth it, or find it in the cyanogenmod forum. However, if you go ahead and flash the nightly, beware that things may or may not work (although the last several I've run have been damn stable) and DO NOT POST BUGS IN THE BUG TRACKER!
Also, on a side note, bluetooth in call audio does not work. Meaning you can not talk on the phone through bluetooth. Stereo bluetooth works great though, so you can listen to music no problem.

Thanks for the heads-up on that, I just thought my bluetooth was being retarded.

How do I check what radio version I have?

If on CM6: Menu>settings>about phone then look at the baseband version. It's the last set of numbers. If on stock ROM it's the same sequence except after you go into "about phone" you need to go into "software information".

Where can I find the radio update? Can't find it on the HTC website or on here.
edit: actually - it seems to be working fine now for some screwed up reason. My roms seem to do that... if my phone is in a good mood when I do my nandroid restore, then it works even better than before (hey look that rymes). If not, then it says "F*** off and die, I'm not giving you internet you fascist SoB.". As you may understand my phone has major mood swings... I think it gets PMS.
The CM6 thread has a link to the latest radio I believe. Also, something that worked for me is under the WiFi Settings menu, press Menu > Advanced, and change Regulatory Channels to 14. I saw that posted in one of the CM65 threads and it worked for me.
I found something interesting out about my phone. Apparently those moods I talked about are just the wipe not working properly. If I wipe it 3-5 time beforehand everything seems to work better.
I can even get golden sun working on the gameboid which I had thought was too unstable to work (just that one game though not the whole program).

This is a brand new unrooted Mytouch 4G, so I suppose I haven't done anything wrong yet. =P
I tried the wifi connection on this phone, and it usually works great. But I later found out the it's not very stable. I carry this phone with me and walk around the campus, it doesn't always receive wifi signal like my iPad would always do. Also, sometimes even when it shows that I am connected, the internet based software such as skype will not work (making phone call without hearing any voice).
Is there a software/app that can help? Or maybe I should root my phone for a better version of operating system?
On the stock ROM and all Sense ROMs, there is an option under WiFi Settings -> Advanced -> Best WiFi Performance. Try selecting that and see if it makes a difference.

WOO! lol i found someone in the same boat as me...I go college as well and my ipad connects fine, but my laptop and phone (for some weird reason do not). Ive tried a whole variety of differernt rom and kernel combinations including stock, but nothing would work. I really really really wanted to stay stock on my phone because I like it so much, but it just wouldnt work. Then I tried the evil 4g HD rom with fauxs sense smartass kernel and suddenly wifi was working amazing! It connected as soon as I clicked turn on wifi and stayed connected throughout the day even though I was walking around campus. Plus the rom has sense so its not straying too far from stock! I dont know what the reason is, but you should give it a go and see if it works for you!
I finally determine to try your method. I can't find evil 4G HD rom. Did you mean Evo?

Basically im looking to replace the rom on the stock fascinate right now with a wifi only rom with a radio that also pretty much uses wifi only, i dont want to just turn it on and not activate i want to use this as a full mp3 player with wifi only no bars across the top for cell service nothing like that.....Is their a way that someone has some info on how to compile this and or a preexisting rom with these capabilities. I for one like my device alot but its time to upgrade and i would like to continue to use it as a mp player. much appreciated
djp952 is working on one; modding his version of the stock rom to wifi only. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278838&page=76
Hi,
The network connectivity on stock rom is definitely very good, especially when you are moving from place to place(i.e not sitting at one place all the time which has decent connectivity). The data/voice connectivity, making best use of dual sim etc etc are very good. I guess Asus is sacrificing battery to achieve that(there is a relatively high standby drain on stock rom), but I think it is worth it. But, the custom roms I used so far did not appear to be on par with stock rom in this area(but the battery life is pretty good though).
So, any custom roms with good network connectivity? (preferably with dual 4g/volte), I prefer not to root and depend upon external kernels/modules though. I keep missing OTPs(or delayed OTPs), poor voice and data connectivity, WIFI voice calling is not that good either. I was hoping I don't have to switch back to stock rom.
Thanks in advance.

For pie I would suggest LOS 16 and for Q try PixelExperience rom.
These both are decent and stable roms with no bugs and stock experience. Minimal roms with no customisation.

Thank you. Tried Los 16(official), did not appear to have good connectivity(I think it is still in initial phase, might get better with time, I'll give it a try again). I have yet to try PixelExperience Q.
I just realized that there is this rom called - stockrom mod. I believe it is developed on top of stock rom, not sure, but I'll give it a try.

Yeah, that's the stock rom with some tweaks. You might find it usefull.
I have not noticed any significant difference in network connectivity and speed. The signal bar in Los pie may may give you a false impression of low signal strength. If you check under sim status its pretty much same with all. And yes i am saying this after using stock rom, Los pie abd pixel experience Q.
Okay, the problem appears to be in stock rom too (I think it is pie only, i think it was fine in oreo), you can find several posts in zentalk forums too complaining same apparently, asus doesn't give a damn. I confirmed there is something wrong with either device (hardware) or software (All pie roms), by switching sim cards to different phones. They all showed no problems.
There is a remedy for this - lock the lte bands., it works!!, at least for most of the cases, i myself saw the effect immediately. I use dual Sim (airtel and jio).
But you need to root the device. Root your device snd install network signal guru. Click "lock bands" from settings, click lte, you'll see bunch of bands - B1, B3, B5.... Find the bands your data sim runs on (you can use this link - https://www.datareign.com/4g-circles-in-india.html/amp), by trial and error find the bands which give you better speed/reliability.
I use below configuration for good data reliability (to play pubg) and moderate speed on data sim(jio) , without having to loose call connectivity on airtel sim (I use it for calls and secondary data)
B5(jio), B1, B8(airtel)
I am not exactly on reasoning behind this, but I just tried not use bands which are common for both Sims, i think that is why i kept loosing call connectivity on airtel sim. A common band might have given good data on one sim but ended up giving bad call connectivity on the other, and vice versa.
