[Q] Custom ROM for Project Fi? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've done some searching but haven't found any solid answers. Was just curious if anyone here is running a custom ROM on a Project Fi N6. I'm currently running stock rooted with Franco kernel but would like to have some more customization options. I've heard that MeanPop might work but would rather not guinea pig my only means of communication. Anyone here have any luck flashing?

if you want WiFi calling and being able to switch from one network to another, then only stock or m will work.

I'm running the latest Chroma (07/11/2015) on Project Fi and wifi-calling along with carrier switching is working.

Ya tried any other roms yet? I know it works on 4.3 PAC and my KK ROM (just tested it). ATT user and I don't pay for the service, but it works. Custom roms are awesome.
I love custom ROMs, I've been flashing and rooting for about 3yrs now. What's your KK ROM?

Aosp based 4.4.1 with minimal tweaks. I haven't updated it in a bit, but I've been running it for a month now, needing a reboot once a week or so. I'll get back to working on it eventually.
Edit: It has some issues, but nothing major. Chrome likes to crash with an assload of tabs open for an example.
Can you post the link for me please? It sounds like a good reliable ROM, I would eventually like to learn how to build ROMs.

It's posted under development, about 8 down last I looked. If I were you I'd use Validus (until 4.4 Pac is ready) instead.

Which roms have VZW Volte working 100%?

If any?

I was really hoping there would be an answer in this thread. Chroma dev doesn't really seem to care, so I am debating about just going back to stock rooted where it actually works. It is pretty annoying not having VoLTE working. With xposed getting more stable for 5.1 that will probably give me most of the options I need anyhow.
Well my goal was to find a ROM with it working andfigure out the solution and then pass it in to zephik but clearly that's not gonna work ha
Ok ALL 5.1 Roms it works. However there is a catch. On "stock" based 5.1 it works right after flash. On CM based roms or cherry picked roms you have to flash a stock based rom first. go through setup...... Make sure the VoLte is working. Flash your preferred , reboot make sure it is working, go to recovery , "wipe" , reboot and setup. Something with connecting to the network. But anyhow. There is issues at times with Cm based roms and VoLte . but not to many. I cannot vouch for stock based as i do not run them full time.

As stated above, this only works (at least on Chroma) if you never reboot. Once you reboot the device, you have to toggle it in settings to work again.

I run Euphoria and Liquid smooth and never have had to toggle it. But we all know different roms different issues.
I was under the impression that only the stock based roms have volte working. That it didn't work on cm 12.1 based roms & only chroma kinda had it working as described earlier. I'm dying to start flashing, but I'm not giving up volte for a few features. Am I wrong?
I think you're wrong. voice over LTE is working on most 12. 1 based roms.

Still not 100%, most still need what vikramjatt11 mentions a few posts ago, new CM12.1 include,. Benzo seems to work or at least did a few days ago.

T-Mobile WiFi calling optimized ROM?

I have been looking for an optimized T-Mobile WiFi calling ROM, looks like no body cares about this feature because it is only few ROMS using this feature. I am using the stock rooted but it is bad with the battery and I am used to the battery use in Chrome ROM. Could someone point me to a good rom with the best features and battery with a WiFi calling enabled? Thank you.

its only available in stock(or stock based ROMs?). its added in by tmobile, and not open sourced(yet?). and the majority of ROMs are based on aosp, and the code wasnt put into aosp(yet?). so if you want WiFi calling, you'd have to use stock, or m.
I was about to post the same question... any answers?

The wifi calling bits aren't part of AOSP, a few people have tried to "reverse engineer" it, but with limited success from what I understand. I think part of the problem is finding a developer that has T-Mobile. Being that some of our devs are from all around the world, and even the ones in the US are likely not going to have T-Mobile. This makes their testing slower and/or harder.
I think there are a few that are still working on it, but I don't think it is a major focus of anyone. I know a couple have sorta given up on it.
tl;dr - No custom AOSP (or variations of it) currently have it that I know of, stock ROMs are the only ones (plural because this includes M dev preview) that offer the functionality.

You can get the factory images directly from Google, here. Or there are versions you can flash in a custom recovery and slightly customized versions floating around these forums.

Try the JDX M preview rom here on XDA. Rooted, unencrypted, busy box and a few other fixes. Load that and hellscores latest m kernel and you are good to go

No. Just about any ROM that has been updated in the past month or so should have it built in. The OP of every ROM should state if it includes it, and if it doesn't then there is a good chance it doesn't.
Just as a note, kernels also matter for getting wifi calling to work as well, if you decide to flash a different than what is included with the ROM.

PureNexus is optimized for Project Fi now, and T-Mobile calling is working fine. Been my daily driver since the first release July 5... I kind of miss crack flashing, but it's stable and has lots of great extras! Plus the Dev and community are super helpful!

You'll find WiFi calling in Dirty Unicorns, and in PureNexus as has been already noted, plus Chroma, I believe Minimal OS, AOSiP, as well as most stock based custom roms (include Gapps)...from what I can tell, no Cyanogenmod based rom has it...I'm sure there are others.
Best to flash and try it before fully setting up the rom itself. Here is why...if the feature is important to you, it can take a bit of tweaking to make sure it works...for starters, if going the AOSP route, you'll need a WiFi calling kernel (Lean kernel version 2.10.6 works perfectly), a proper T-Mobile WiFi calling modem, and those include 14R, 16R and 17R...and sometimes you'll need to toggle WiFi calling on and off, reboot, and you also may need to dive into developer options and flip the switch aggressive WiFi to cellular handover.
Good luck!

Do roms need to be Fi specific?

I'm new to fi, getting my nexus this week. Will any MM based rom work for fi, or does it need to have fi features baked in?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks.

Most of the Asop roms will work. None of the Cyanogen based rom will activate fi. If u want WiFi calling use Pure or Chroma rom. Both work on MM.

There's stock Marshmallow for the XT1225, not yet for the XT1254. Verizon has not released it yet, even though I'm sure it's ready. Having said that, @iiWoodstocK on Verizon used Marshmallow stock for the XT1225 on his XT1254. Of course, he had to flash the Verizon radio. Contact him for more information.

i shouldnt say i want completely stock. like how computerfreek has a mostly stock rom for 5.1 I'd want something like that for 6.0 (if possible). mostly stock, but i want to be able to unlock tethering too. Not sure how to do that on my own. i dont think its something i can do thru xposed?

My "ROM" has tethering. I'm currently in the process of attempting to deodex the ROM and repack the system.img, then I need to see if Moto Display is still buggy.
Tethering is really easy, it's nothing more than a build.prop edit:

i know i asked for MM roms. i was just saying i am using the computerfreek LP rom now (with xposed) and am looking for something similar in MM. I tried cm13 and aokp. just too flashy for my taste. Ive been trying to check out mokee, but cant get it to flash for some reason (its OP is working with me on its forum). looked at bliss, but comments made it sound kinda buggy. RR, i assume is just as flashy as the others. I guess ill wait til something more stock like comes out. who knows, i may prefer LP to MM
