Root Let's Get CM Onto Avant!

More like WiFi calling isn't even a feature of CM because it's very carrier specific and tmobile isn't even forking over what devs need to make mms work on third party sms apps. Nothing to do at all with the fact that this is a work in progress.
Are you saying that the stock original SMS app for this phone is the only one that will work for MMS? If I download a SMS app from Google play it won't work for MMS?

No that's not what I meant, I wasn't very clear sorry. What I meant to say is that if you are connected to WiFi and also have WiFi calling turned on, unless you're using the stock sms app you can't send mms.

Oh lol. You piqued my curiosity cause I had found an aosp MMS.apk that works on the avant or I thought it did until I tried sending a picture message. But I don't ever use WiFi calling cause the only time I ever have WiFi is if I'm at a fast food joint.

Moving on from that situation.....(lol)
I know this is really off topic and I should probably start another thread, but I just had a quick question. I've seen on a couple of sites that the Avant is supposedly scheduled to get a software update to Lollipop in Q2 this year, any thoughts?

Cell phone manufacturers have a bad habit of promising big updates for budget phones and then going back on their word around the same time that they discontinue them.

I'll believe it when I get the update prompt

If your phone is rooted, you won't get the update prompt.

Yeah you're probably right, I wouldn't mind giving Lollipop TW a try though. Just as a side note, LG gave the L90 Lollipop today. If Samsung were to update a midrange phone like LG I would think it would be the Avant. But that probably won't happen lol
