Where's the rom love for T-Mobile? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6

Does anyone know of any custom roms that are working on the T-Mobile variant?

Only time will tell ,if you compare the history as time proves to repeat itself
s3 Roms we're vast and plentiful
s4 roms well there were Some
S5 roms well we all know that we may have had 3 maybe that were worth anything
So where does that leave the s6.
It all speaks for itself .
If someone cares they will develop if not we will sit stock rom or Lightly moded

well on the note 2 you can use att roms. all you needed to do was flash the t mobile modem on top and you were good to go.

That doesn't seem to be working on the S6.

Maybe an extra step is required to get it to work. Like build prop or kernel tweaks

You should never have to flash a modem after flashing a rom on the s6..or the note 4 or the S5 or the note3. Dev's don't include modems in roms so your current modem should always work.
You may need to flash something after flashing international roms.. In call Sound does not work after flashing international roms on G920T..hopefully someone will offer a fix soon.

You're assuming AT&T has ROMs....
Not a single thread.

Is the hardware not identical with all the global versions? figured this would be the most rom compatible version of the galaxy line...

You can blame the suits at ATT for deciding to make it incredibly hard to mod their version. (ie. locked bootloader)
Lesson learned here:
SWITCH TO T-MOBILE lol

I have the same problem, no sound on the call, I tried both international roms from s6 and s6 edge for my tombile s6 edge, no sound on the call, something is missing, just don't know yet. Hopefully developer can find out later. Thanks.

Kinda Blows, was maybe thinking going back to My M8! but ill give it time most of these roms are all stock based anyway so there is not a significant difference... im honestly more disappointed in Samsung, everyone buys in to there mass marketing BS...in fact, my s4 has more love at this moment...
what really bugs is the there is no MHL support..this has been a standard for years...

yea I have never had a Galaxy S before. I have had both the M7 and M8, and the note 3. I did not buy the Note 4 this year because I bought the Nexus 6 instead. I bought the S6 this time instead of the M9 because I wanted the better camera and the M9 was slower, but man the lack of dev support so far on this phone bugs me. I know the phone has only been out for about a month but still. All the HTC Ones, M7, M8, M9 and the Note's all had good stuff within a few weeks. I wish the Galaxy S phones were all the same like HTC does it.

Where's the LOVE for T-Mobile S6 custom rom???
I feel ya! Just switched from a Nexus 6 and I must have installed a multitude of roms. I've had most of the Galaxy S phones prior to the Nexus 6. I decided to JUMP back to the S6....I love it! Since I had the flash bug, I decided to root and flash a custom rom on my brand new S6. Tried the few roms available for the T-mobile variant and decided that I don't need to root and have custom rom on my Galaxy S6, it's awesome without customization! I'm using Action Launcher which allows for some modding and I'm fine. Awaiting the 5.1.1 OTA update. That's about it.

[Q] Best Galaxy Tab to hunt for?

So i'm in the market for a nice 7 inch tablet, and obviously a galaxy tab is going to be a forethought in my mind... I've done some reading on various tablets so far, and what i've read about the tab, it seems there are some versions that have more development on them.
My question is what is the best model of tab to be hunting for? verizon tab, att, sprint? and i guess a model number could be helpful. Is the wifi only version one even worth considering? if so what model?
i really would hate to have to hunt for a carrier specific tab, since those seem to go for ~500 easy, which is way too much for a 7" tablet imo.
thanks for any info on this subject.
Depends which carrier you are on, if you want to use mobile data. T-Mobile is not compatible with at&t and sprint is cdma.
Some nice deals out there if you know what you want and are patient. Mine was under $200

what version is it? and what model?
are you able to update it to later versions (2.3?) and use custom roms?
i dont care about any specific carrier in general, but i would like to be able to connect a tab to an ad-hoc network.
the original galaxy tab model is GT-P1000, it have android 2.3.3, can be upgraded to 2.3.7 trought cm7 or BOCA roms, and theres an android 4.0 port unofficial but very smooth.
ROMS:
MIUI
BOCA
Overcome
CM7
and many others, check the development section.
pd: sorry my english.
My particular tab is a p1000r - tied to Roger's up in Canada. Basically the same as the AT&T model.
Spend some time on the forums and hit up Wikipedia for the differences.

Skyrocket tool to port ROM

I am positive that I came across a thread in the Skyrocket section that was titled for and provided a tool to port any Skyrocket ROM to ....? (some device that I can't recall). I can't find it now (been searching about 45 mins) but am positive it was there. Anyone know what I am referring to?
My point to the above is that it would seem with the similar hardware that tool could be used (with some modification) to port to the i957. I have a current interest in this as I hope to pick an i957 up soon.
*I came across the tool because I recently got an ATT Note and DT at droidhive ported a Skyrocket rom to it (which was showing before droidhive was hacked). I went looking around to see what was interesting in the skyrocket area here and found the tool. Really wish I would have noted the url.

I have both the skyrocket and the i957. I believe the thread you are referring to was a tool to port T989 (Tmobile) to I727 (ATT) and vice versa. I am also interested in porting skyrocket roms to the i957. I think the difficulty lies in the fact that the i957 only has a honeycomb kernel, and using the skyrocket ICS kernel could cause a brick. I would like to look into it further though, and may inquire within the skyrocket forums later today.
Yeah finally found the hellraiser tool again. Forgot they never released hc source so porting is a pain. Good luck with the other forum. I got my Note the day ics rolled out so maybe i will buy the 957 soon and bring us all some good fortune.

Kernel source for the Honeycomb i957 kernel can be had directly from Samsung's open source release site:

That's right. They were going to release it after ICS. Been that long since I thought about it although I think now only having HC on a tablet I'm buying will keep me up every night. :crying:

Honeycomb is actually pretty sweet on a tablet, and the i957 ICS update from Samsung is currently in test at ATT.
If you want a hacker's tablet, get a tegra-based tab already supported by Cyanogenmod

Thanks for the heads up but I def have done a lot of research. I want the ATT LTE version for the cpu (not a tegra fan). I'm not even on ATT so I will just use it with my vzw Mifi like my Note. I really wish Verizon would get a phone with a decent screen size (phablet). I know the dev community for the i957 is small but will be fine with it at least on ICS with it debloated and deodexed. I don't want honeycomb because I always immed increase the dpi in ics/jb so nothing shows in tablet mode. I can't stand tablet mode and small icons.
*Plus since it's Qualcomm I'm hoping I can reverse the work done getting Bionic to work on GSM and maybe get this puppy and my Note working on Verizon. Maybe not possible but I'm willing to tinker...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297714
EDIT: Unlike GSM the CDMA networks have a database of MEID/ESN numbers that they allow to activate. Maybe I can get away with using my SIM that's already activated in a verizon phone. Part of the trick is to not go through the activation when updating the radio. Who knows...

100% with you on this, I hate having to wear glasses to read crap on my tab. A big part of the reason I got it is so I can read on it and pinch zoom the text bigger, but more than half the apps are unreadable.
I can't wait til you get this working.

Hopefully this means if I can get my Note working on vzw using the reverse qualcomm hack for bionic I can flash the radio to the 8.9 and that would work as well. Already excited about trying this stuff out and don't even have a 8.9 yet.

If at&t note radios work on the 8.9 that just might open the door for a working phone.

If dan-htc has already flashed Note radios on the 8.9 then likely flashing the current Note radio would be a step toward getting working ATT network phone capability on the 8.9. Not sure about the required hardware related pieces that may or may not exist in the 8.9.
For my purposes - There is a firmware hack that gets a qualcomm chipset with only cdma radio firmware to work on a gsm network. I'm hoping the similar qualcomm chipset found in the Note and/or 8.9 currently only with gsm radio firmware can be hacked to work on a cdma network. I only need the hack to allow for data so any additional hardware in the device that may be required for voice won't matter.
So basically I hope to get an ATT Note and/or ATT 8.9 working with a VZW sim card for data.

that's the main reason I stick with stock rom [mine sgh-t879], rooted, and way debloated.
fabulous device really. 2 days of batt life [i turn it off when I sleep], lean, mean, fast, beautiful.
I use wifi exclusively in home home-office and every other place I get a chance, which as everyone knows is an increasingly long list.
the only 'bug' I have at the moment is something sporadically defeating NoLED which I use for notifications, and that Noozozide [a fabulous app] doesn't like something in there... probably the google play player. haven't had time to sort that yet.
I was reading that the tmo wifi app was figured out to work on another android phone(can't remember what one)- they altered the build prop and hacked the apk. Too bad no one is interested in doing this for the ATT note There are so few ATT Notes running on tmobile. Once they are out of contract- another year or so, and they will be moving on to newer phones. Jedi4 worked for me as far as wifi calling- but I have no need at present for the wifi calling feature, but it is great when you need it!
I was looking into the new tmo uncarrier plans and thinking about getting the iphone5 to add to my android collection- but no wifi calling for it. At least not initially, and they are being coy about future plans for it. If I am gonna get a new tmobile phone it should have wifi calling. Am going to europe in the fall and it will come in handy!
I love my note- really do, but there are times I would love a smaller phone to slip into my pocket and go. The Note is huge- at times a great thing, at times a not so great thing. New Iphone will rescue my itunes and make music an easier managed thing on the computer. Doubletwist and air sync just isn't the same. Might have to get my apple hacking tools sharpened!
the sgh-t879 is just fabulous and a bit of a bargain, though the i717 is typically a tad less in pristine condition.
As far as I know samsung T-mo variants have the Wifi calling very solid but I don't know what to expect going international - you obviously need a world phone multi-band.
we have the SII, the "S 4G" and the Note - all deliver the beans well on wifi. The Blaze does also and is the better choice vs. the S 4G, as we've found out.
I understand what you mean about smaller size - you may have to go Nexus but I despise the fixed battery [the life is not great...do not let anyone fool you] and lack of removable storage. if you want to go cheap, get the LG optimus L9... its a great phone to use just out of the box debloated: wifi is excellent. the knock is there's not many hacks for it since LG made it difficult. those can be had for 250 bucks and sold for nearly the same as it gets terrific user reviews. around here [austin tx, san antonio etc] some steals come around on craigslist ... people get those with a contract upgrade for free, then sell on c'list to go buy a note or some other thing. have seen new ones for $175

I just wanted to chime in for a moment. I acquired a att note from eBay a couple of weeks ago and I am running the jedi 4 ROM and WIFI calling is great with no hiccups. It's fast and beautiful. Now mind you I am coming from a gs2 before the jellybean upgrade. In fact the second day my wife had the gs2 was when the update was pushed out. Moving on since I am rambling, i love my note it fits right in with my nexus 7. The only thing I wish was that jellybean was out officially I require WiFi calling......

Access LTE on T-Mobile
Hi just wanted to chime in. If T-Mobile has LTE in your area, you can access it by using the stock AT&T Rom and Modem. Just root it and Debloat it. Here's some of the speeds I've been able to get. The only thing, When I'm sitting at my desk at work, I have to switch to a different modem to pick up 3G and HSPA+ (21.6 Mb/S) I will say every test that I did using the stock AT&T modem was higher than any other modem I used.
Everyone seems to be talking about wifi calling.. how well does normal calling work? how is the signal over all? is it worth it to get an AT&T version and try to use the blaze modems instead of getting the T-Mobile version?
Just use jedi leader ics 4.0.4 it has wifi calling and stable...for tmobile version...

Considering buying this phone

I'm considering buying this phone used and off contract so I have a few questions.
1) Do the ROMs for this phone have multi-window and other premium suite features?
2) Can I get this device to work with T-Mobile? I won't be using data and will only use T-Mobile for calling and texting. Because I am on campus the majority of the time, there is little need to have a data plan.
Yes the Touchwiz based ROMs have support for multi-window ans those Samsung added 4.1.2 features.
Guess it should work with T-mobile, should it not?!!! Why do u ask that?

I keep hearing how the Galaxy Note on AT&T hasn't gotte multi-window and other features so people were complaining about that.
I should of been more specific. Sorry.
Does it work with t-Mobile's 4G and 3G? This own't be a big deal since I don't have a data plan though.
I'm from India, so do not know much about the AT&T. But i have seen custom ROMs for the AT&T version of the Note (Jelly Bam) and don't think it should be a concern. And yes it will work with T-Mobile 3G, the note doesn't have support for 4G network.

Thanks. I won't be needing 4G or even 3G anyway.
I got the N7000 version instead of the American release i717 because it's a bit better speced except for the case of the lack of NFC in the N7000 while the i717 does have NFC.
Happy time with the note ahead, I have the N7000 too! Feel free to ask your doubts here and do hit thanks if i help!

Wanting to do some tweaks....

Hello to those that came here,
First, I just came from the S4 to the S5 yesterday, got it rooted last night and I'm on OC4. It's an AT&T 900A. I loved my S4 and I absolutely refuse to get the new Galaxy iS6. No replaceable battery? No expandable memory? WTF Sammy!!!! Anyways.....
Ultimately what I'm after is a ROM similar to CM12. From what I gather, CM isn't fully supported for the AT&T S5. They used some extra little tweaks that I really liked, such as a 'reboot to recovery' in the power menu.
Is there anyone here that has used CM and the ROMS for S5? There doesn't seem to be near as many for this device. I am just unfamiliar with them and looking for advice. I'd prefer to stay on Lolli as I'm sure it'll improve, but JB was by far my favorite.
Thanks for any insight!

OC4 on AT&T limits your options on custom roms. @talkingmonkeys has been deving for Kitkat and made an excellent rom called Extreme Dynamic Kat. Looks like he is getting ready to put out something for Lollipop now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60357236&postcount=884
is the starting point for that. Keep a look out for Twi5ted v4 rom , several people have gotten that to work. Read everything you can. Best of luck to you.
Well, that sucks about not being able to use CM.
I guess Samsung doesn't really feel the 'open source' aspect of AOSP fits their needs.
Thanks for the feedback.
I'll keep an eye on those ROMs.

It is not Samsung, it is At&t. You could go to T-Mobile and buy the same exact phone flat out for 600+ bucks, take it to At&t and buy a Sim, and have a phone with an unlocked boot loader free to flash away. Let this phone be the final lesson in "research phones before you buy" and "voice your opinions with your wallet".

As far as I know T-Mobile and At&t are both gsm....they support similar or the same bands....as long as you have an At&t Sim card in it you will get LTE just fine.

It all depends on where you live:
ATT and T-Mobile have a few overlapping bands, but not all. If you're in a market where they don't overlap, you may be stuck on H+ .

ATT uses bands: 2, 4, 5, 17
T-Mobile uses bands: 2, 4, 12
