i have flashed two different roms and the hotspot worked great i flashed an official VANIR rom and a another unofficial AOSP ROM,calls didnt kill my hotspot,, but thd cameras didn't work in either rom,, so i flashed back to rooted stock,,really don't want a custom rom,, Samsung has a lot of good features that you will lose with a custom rom,,, is anyone else having this problem?

Please note that using the hotspot on 3G WILL stop when you receive/send a call. If you're on LTE, you should be able to use the hotspot and call people. This is NOT ROM specific.

Verizon rom ok to run on sprint tabs?

Verizon rom is newer 2.3.5. And I need some of the functionality of it. I am tempted to download one of the rooted verizon roms. But do not want to brick my tab in the process. Can anybody confirm that verizon roms can safely be used on sprint tabs?
the actual fully stock VZW rom would probably try and flash a modem update, and that wouldn't work on the sprint tab (and could be catastrophic) but any of the custom VZW roms should work fine other than possible loss of 3g functionality.

I'm about 99% sure you are correct. I plan on running a Sprint tab this way (wifi only) and will have a definite answer for you in a week or so, but someone will have already answered you for sure by then.

Cricket Fascinate JB

I have been running ICS on my fassy flashed to Cricket and used the Alt Carrier Fix. Everything but sending MMS worked fine.
I just flashed the latest AOSP JB ROM and 3G keeps trying to connect but wont. Just like ICS did before I flashed the Alt Carrier Fix... So I flashed the ICS Alt Carrier Fix but it did not work. I figured it was a 50/50 chance it would work. So basically it does not work with JB. Any one know if there is a JB Alt Carrier Fix or if APN's are able to be edited in JB?
Need to get my data working.
**UPDATE**
JB Data Fix is posted in post # 4
Hey did you ever find a fix for this? If not, there's a data fix zip on the cricket users forum website just look under the fascinate thread. It worked for me, AOKP ICS Build 32 but also works for JB roms

No I havent.
I tried that with JB and it never worked.
Ok I found a JB 3G data fix. Can confirm it works with Cricket.
I do not take credit for this. I found it on cricket users and the person who posted it there didnt know who he/she made it either. I think it says who the author is when the flash finishes but I can not remember.
3G connects much faster than the ICS data fix did. 3G was connected as soon as I booted to the lock screen.
enjoy!

Wifi Calling

Anyone know if there is a slimmed down 4.4.2 rom with wifi calling? I can'y stand the LG GUI and prefer the base 4.4.2 look but need wifi calling.
Currently there is no custom recovery for official kk. Rom developers are waiting for it before releasing custom Roms. Also, there are only two ways to get root while on kk, they are not that easy, so it will be tricky to slim it down yourself.
Aosp based Roms don't have WiFi calling. It's a closed source app. Also it doesn't use the SIP protocol so you can't use it that way.
Wouldn't be as simple though as flashing a KK rom with current recovery installed?

Nope. KitKat stock looks for kitkat bootloader, which isn't loki vulnerable.
kitkat stock WILL NOT boot without stock recovery and bootloader.
For now I assume? Only reason I ask is when I had my HTC One they seemed to be able to port the Wifi Calling over pretty quickly. Right now it looks like they have it available for KitKat, but they also have a recovery so I guess that's what's gonna hold devs back

Interesting. There's a large thread in the Nexus 4/5 forums where they have been trying to port over WiFi calling forever, but no one has gotten that working yet. Hell, it's been a year and a half.

yes i followed the instructions as well, with the fix "R1" and that was the only thign that made LTE pop up, for a short time..
The one that I use is R2, might be your issue. I'm running BlissPop 5.1.1 on Boost Mobile with zero data/LTE issues

Root and Wi-Fi Calling possible?

Has anyone gotten Wi-Fi calling working on rooted g930p either with stock rooted rom or flashed to g930u rom? It's the only thing stopping me from rooting at this point.
Thanks,
Josh

yes, wifi calling has been achieved while even being rooted. check out this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/how-to/sm-g930p-root-t3410604 and read all the instructions carefully and completely. (don't skip a word)
I've read every page of that thread. I've also used fixes for speed, battery, lag etc. I haven't gotten wifi calling to work on any rooted sprint s7. Aware of "hidden" menu under phone settings rather than main settings.
Looking for someone to confirm they have it working on their phone before jumping back to rooted rom again as well as guidance on how to achieve.
Thanks
