Is there a way to add WiFi calling to a ROM that does not have it pre-installed? Im on a Note 3 (SM-N900T) currently using PacMan ROM with KK 4.4.4. I don't absolutely have to have it but it was a very nice feature.

The only way you will get the Wifi Calling feature working is:
#1: You must have a Tmobile SM-N900T phone.
#2: You must be on the Tmobile network.
#3: You can only use Tmobile Kitkat N900T 4.4.2 Touchwiz based custom roms.
You can also use the official stock N900T Tmobile Kitkat 4.4.2 Touchwiz firmware.
If you are using any other type roms you will not be able to have wifi calling.
None of the AOSP or Ported roms will have the wifi calling feature.
(Pacman rom is AOSP).
Good luck!

Thank you so much for your help. I met all the criteria, except as you noted, the TMobile Kit Kat. I did try out a couple roms that did have that but I much prefer the slimmed down versions because my battery life seems much, much better. I think I will ultimately go back to SlimKat 4.4.4 and just chalk up the loss of wifi calling as the price of customization.

I'd love to get a new ROM, but I want to keep Wi-Fi calling (and any other TMO features). Over in the s5 T-Mobile forum, all we have is a debloated stock ROM with a couple of mods. Are there any other ROMs that have TMO's features?

It will never happen...IE International ROM and WiFI calling. It's proprietary to TMobile...period. Look at the Alliance ROM....specifically Rom Customizer for a pretty decent add on, that works on the G900T ROM on TMobile. Download from Playstore.

I have asked about issues with the other roms not working. I lost calling, texting, and could only use wifi with all roms. I also had to remove the SD card prior to the phone allowing me to activate after flashing back to "stock."
I have not found one that works. I tried Phoenix and Alliance roms at first and was tired of flashing back to stock. You CAN use xposed framework and I have used kernels like Blaze. That is about all I've been able to find. You can find dedicated US cellular forums BUT you won't find much there unless something changed in the last day or two. Nobody would answer my questions about why their roms would not work and possibly how to get them to work Sorry, this is about all you'll find. I had a few issues and my threads were also deleted

I have unlocked every USC phone I've ever had...there's plenty of devolopment out there for USC phones. I haven't seen anything other than custom kernels yet for G900R4 though.

There aren't a lot of USC users here so we don't know much about your system. In the past, USC has locked their bootloaders and that is the key reason that you don't see much custom ROM development.
Also, USC (along with Sprint, Verizon) still use CDMA while the rest of the world is using GSM. That basic incompatibility also deters wider development.
Have a look at the Safestrap thread in the Verizon S5 forum. Safestrap is an app for loading an emulated custom ROM + recovery and can probably be used for USC as well.

Does anyone know of a kernel that has SELinux set to permissive that will work? That's honestly the last thing I need. I wanted a bootloader unlocked phone that ran off CDMA so I can use it where I live so US Cellular seemed to be the solution.
US Cellular confirmed that the R4 has a unlocked bootloader. I am running a stock deoxed/debloated touchwiz. I am super surprised and disappointed that there hasn't been more interest and development for this phone. I am so tempted to trade it for a different.

I'm running a g900r4, (klteusc) as well. What rom are you using? I've been all over the gs5 unified and initial developments sections, and am currently using the cm11 unified while waiting for the slim rom unified. I'd gladly prefer a bloat free touch wiz though it seems the stock based roms are exclusive to g900f and the like.

You guys want this http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/411-galaxy-s5-romskernelsmods/
CM11, kernel w/o SELinux Enforcing, other goodies.
Head over to teamuscellular.com/forum and you should find a few available options to try. Including stock deodexed ncf ROM(touch wiz). And other custom Roms ported to USC. Like "cm 12 lollipop alpha." Looks good but no customization. As well as all stock Odin flashable zips. Some others like alliance and beanstalk have been ported, haven't tried those though. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
I am running 5.1.1 on my note 4 SM-N910W8.
I need a rom thats touchwiz based,(So i have s-pen functions). i also need a rom that fully supports the SM-N910W8, and does not have data or mobile network connectivity issues.

How To Unlock WIFI Hotspot on Rooted AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-I1337 Android 5.0.1 Lollipop?
I am using at AT&T branded phone with Cricket service, stock ROM as far as I know. I can't find out anywhere how to unlock this Hotspot and I need it badly. None of the apps like wifi tether router seem to work. The build in hotspot worked fine on my galaxy s3 and I don't think I ever did anything specific to make it work, although it was rooted. If I need to downgrade to Kit Kat I will because I can't stand lollipop anyway. I can't even figure out how to make the flashlight work on this thing as there is no icon and none of the flashlight apps work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Not one response? I guess I'll just try to downgrade to kit kat or something and try from there.

There is a tether add-on for stock rooted versions ending in OK2 in this thread. It's in the OP under optional.
Hello. Looking for suggestions and thread links for the best custom kernel for the TMobile stock firmware. I had to revert back to stock because TMobile updated the signals to lower frequencies on my tower, and the Note 3 isn't capable of grabbing that signal. So I needed WiFi calling while I'm at home now and only could get that with stock firmware. Even with newest releases of Magisk root method I couldn't get the WiFi calling enabler to work on the great custom ROMs that are out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Makes more sense to ask in the Note 3 TMobile forum .
Note 3 forum is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile
I have found that a custom kernel can provide tangible benefits but it really depends on the end-user's app usage.

I advise you to try Arter97's Kernel
