Hello All,
This query is regarding Redmi 2 Custom Rom. Is there any Custom ROM which supports VoLTE?
In India, Reliance Jio is launching 4G which will require VoLTE and hence this query. I have read that MIUI based on Lollipop base does support VoLTE but have not seen that option in Custom ROMs. Thanks in advance for help & comments
Edit
Basis feedback from users, to get VoLTE working following is solution:
1) One needs to first flash MIUI LP ROM (to get LP bootloader)
2) Second follow this by flashing ROMs like Orion, Mokee etc which supports VoLTE over LP bootloader
Read next post for details
Enable VoLTE in Redmi 2
The solution to get VoLTE working is following :
1) First, one needs to flash MIUI LP ROM (to get LP bootloader)
2) Second, flash ROMs like Orion, Mokee, RR, Project X, CM 13 etc which supports VoLTE over LP bootloader
3) Insert sim (example Jio for Indian users) and reboot. If required might have to create APN "ims"
4) In case APN "ims" doesn't work very well, pls follow this post here to replace apns config file.
That's it.. this will work.
Credits to multiple users from this thread. Cheers guys for being supportive

CM13 base Custom Roms does not support VoLTE
Im currently on Mokee with Jio sim & volte call does work. :good: I think cm13 too would work, Tesla didn't. Remember to be in lollipop firmware with volte support before flashing custom rom .

Can you try on DU latest build and confirm for me if it's working for you?
Cm-13
I am having a question.. When I'm using any custom rom and using my Jio 4G sim in any of the custom rom the performance isn't that great. For eg. If I'm getting 34mbps speed in MIUI then in any custom ROM i will be getting 0.5-1.0 Mbps speed. Can anyone tell me why is this happening and any workaround for it?

I tried d same..but calls nt wrkng..help bro
why install custom.. just install miui lollipop of redmi 2 prime and use VoLTE. it works
So in order to get VoLTE support on CM13, do you have to have Lollipop Bootloader and Modem flashed?
What about MM custom ROMs? Can anyone tell me for a fact if any ROM supports VoLTE. Also, can anyone confirm if this guide works for custom ROMs?
Can I Install the redmi 2 prime lollipop rom on redmi 2 1gb ram version are you sure it works, if not then what rom supports VoLte on 1gb redmi 2.
For me volte working perfectly
Cm 13, Zephyr, aicp, mokee

I read this somewhere in CM13 thread. Try these APN settings it should work
For volte go to network setting then select apn.
Add new apn with below details for volte
Name - jio
APN - ims
APN Type - ims
Rest of things you can keep as it is.
Also for 4g internet
Name - jio4g
APN - jionet
APN Type - default
I made this thread just to make sure i'm not the only one for whom VoLte doesn't seem to work on any rom except Miui and Aosp 5.0. I've tried so hard to get VoLte restored efs from miui mm tried differet roms, bricked my device no. of times experimenting but all in vain. VoLte is not a big deal for me ( i can use Jio4gvoice) but yet it's working for so many people and i get sometimes jealous. Moreover i don't wanna go back to MiUi.
If anyone after going through all this trouble was able to enable VoLte in any Nougat rom please do share your experience. It may be helpful for so many users searching for the VoLte fix here and there in all the threads.
I also try so many things but finally a got volte....
First i flash other rom by Abhishek987 cyanogenmod 14.1 as described in op restart and finishing Complete booting
I got volte....
Again boot in zxc twrp recovery
factory reset
Flash remix rom follow gaps pico
Restart.. Again i got volte
That's it.

Hi there! Recently i got VoLte working on every single rom. I will make a thread soon of the procedure i follwed.
P.s- That procedure will work 110%
Edit- follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-volte-fix-nougat-roms-users-t3518614
Hi there,
I tried almost all the nougat ROMs here and none of them were working for VoLTE. So decided to follow the Nougat VoLTE Patch thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/red.../volte-patches-nougat-based-cm-roms-t3509257], but it still didn't work while following the procedure provided on the thread. So I decided to play on myself and did a few trail and error.
Somehow this worked for me to get the VoLTE working:
- I downloaded the Abhishek's
CM14.1 and Firmware which said to have the VoLTE support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3500569
- Then I downloaded the lastest SuperSU to flash because I had flashed a MIUI Global Stable, so it had locked my bootloader again and I wanted to root again, and I think this is what did the trick but I'm not sure: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
- Downloaded the volte_cm-161123TheStrix.zip and the volte.zip from the Nougat VoLTE Patch thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=18113#downloads
- Then I flashed them in this sequence by adding them all together in queue in TWRP.
First I wiped system, data, cache/dalvik in TWRP (I already had a backup)
Then added SuperSU>Firmware>CM14.1>volte_cm-161123TheStrix.zip>volte.zip to the flash queue and flashed them all together and rebooted. It got stuck in the bootloop, so booted into fastboot and rebooted again by holding the power button. Then it booted successfully and had the HD :laugh:
Then my aim was to flash the latest RR which had the VoLTE, so I followed the same procedure and added this RR to the queue instead of Abhishek's CM14.1 and it worked there too :laugh: :http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-resurrectionremix-5-8-0-t3507433
Hope this helps!

1) install fastboot rom via mi flash of redmi 2 .
2) after installing this download recovery rom (not fastboot rom) of redmi 2 prime (miui8 / latest) and place it inside internal/ external memory.
3) go to updater app and choose update pack (recovery rom of redmi 2 prime).
4)after installing it, install twrp and then clean flash any rom.
and Boooooommmmm u get VOLTE , no need to install any jio calling app.
just me i am using it and working for me , every time i try it.

If you want volte then again fastboot the ROM, after that download recovery ROM of redmi 2 prime and then open updater app and choose above file and update. Now again install twrp and custom ROM, I will suggest aosp extended, RR os or validus in performance. You will get volte.
I unlocked my phone then flashed recovery by a rooting method provided on this forum. After getting 64bit recovery and root access I flashed PixelExperience Rom 64 bit on which i didn't checked if i had Volte working.
Now after changing several other roms (64bit Oreo) I m now on NitrogenOS without Volte working.
I haven't downgraded to stock after updating to oreo so why am i facing the same issue as "Volte gone forever".
I have tried voenabler magisk module and other sim changing method but nothing works.
There are people with same carrier(Jio) and same rom as me with volte calls working without issues.
Is there anything I can try? Switching to Nougat Roms would help? Will it also break Volte?
Maybe another person's EFS backup may help who has volte working on oreo?

Try switching any custom ROM apart from stock ROM, stock ROM is what broke VoLTE.
Nitrogen had VoLTE problems in the past builds but the latest build has fixed that so also check if you're on the latest Nitrogen.
Changing to nougat custom ROM will break volte?

I am having the exact same problem. I flashed RR Rom but after that I flashed back the stock rom and bricked my phone after installing an update. Although I recovered my phone and now I am using PixelExperience Rom but the Volte is not working.
I was able to fix, for the most part anyways, voLTE using the method described here:
Solved-volte-fix-lost-flashing-stock-rom <-Should be a link, but the forums are a bit crap.
8m now back in RR 8 1 with voLTE working. I lose it about once a day, but a restart fixes it.
Slightly annoying, but solely the fault of Lenovorola dragging their feet with regards to offocial Oreo on our devices. Their updated ROM should take care of any libgering issues from the move to 64-Bit. Unless they're straight up incompetent and fail to issue a proper fix for us.
The fingerprint was working fine on stock rom. Unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp image. Somehow I formatted the internal storage erasing everything. After that, I flashed Pixel Experience custom rom and the fingerprint scanner isn't working. Getting "fingerprint enrollment issue". The enrollment happens only when I try pressing it very hard and I didn't face the issue on stock rom. I tried every custom rom available my bad. Somehow registered the edge of the finger and its working for now. What is the issue, I don't think it is hardware issue Any fixes for the same?

By any chance were you on the Oreo soak test when last on Stock rom? If so, the blobs wouldn't be compatible. Confirm whether or not that was the case, and if it is, then I'll point you in the right direction.

Taken from the Oreo thread:
Important information if downgrading to Nougat and Custom Oreo roms
The Oreo roms will change the ownership of specific files and folders in the /persist folder. As a result of this, stock Nougat will have issues such as lost IMEI, no Volte, no 4G, etc. In order to overcome these issues, either follow the instructions in the link above, or flash the following zip in TWRP.
potter-stock-persist-fix.zip
Another potential issue is that, as a result of various partitions being updated, the new Oreo blobs may not be compatible with existing Nougat roms (stock or custom), or even current Custom Oreo roms. This may result in issues such as the fingerprint reader not working, etc. To ensure they run correctly, it is MANDATORY to install one of the latest Stock Nougat TWRP flashables. This will ensure that all affected partitions are compatible with Stock Nougat and Custom Oreo roms. You can get these from this thread here:
[Nougat][Stock][Rom] TWRP Flashable Stock Builds
So flash the persist fix from the first link, and flash the latest Nougat stock rom from the second. Reboot and make sure all is working OK in stock. Then flash whichever custom rom you want.

Yes, if you did the same thing, i.e. flashed stock Oreo and then went to an Oreo custom rom, then yes the same approach will work. I have a flashable build and persist fix for sanders here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=280579
Clean flash/Dirty flash?
@NZedPred I am facing the same problem. I own the Indian Moto G5 Plus (retin)
Here's what I did -
1. I unlocked my bootloader
2. I updated to Oreo (soak test) using the OTA capture.
2. I somehow rooted my phone after flashing TWRP.
3. Just after I flashed TWRP i.e. before rooting, I took a complete backup including the persist and EFS partitions.
4. After rooting, I clean installed MSM-Xtended ROM (8.1.0)
5. Everything is fine, but the fingerprint feature doesn't work/appear anywhere. Even the gesture support is gone.
What do I need to do?
If I follow your steps mentioned above i.e. flashing the persist-fix first, flashing the Nougat ROM you provided and then flashing any custom ROM, how should I proceed?
I am really confused whether I should clean flash (Wipe Data, System, Cache) after every step or dirty flash everything.
Please guide me.
Before you go back to custom ROM from stock Oreo ROM you have to flash stock nouget ROM if not fingerprint , NFC will not work.

I was also in the same problem of fingerprint not working. Tried your method i.e. flashed persist zip and nougat rom (after wiping dalvik, system ,data, cache) and now when I try to clean flash custom Oreo rom . Gapps is not getting flashed . Its detecting the rom as 7.1.2. any solution for this

U wrongly flashed firmware, try Oreo custom rom

Taken from the Oreo thread:
Important information if downgrading to Nougat and Custom Oreo roms
The Oreo roms will change the ownership of specific files and folders in the /persist folder. As a result of this, stock Nougat will have issues such as lost IMEI, no Volte, no 4G, etc. In order to overcome these issues, either follow the instructions in the link above, or flash the following zip in TWRP.
potter-stock-persist-fix.zip
Another potential issue is that, as a result of various partitions being updated, the new Oreo blobs may not be compatible with existing Nougat roms (stock or custom), or even current Custom Oreo roms. This may result in issues such as the fingerprint reader not working, etc. To ensure they run correctly, it is MANDATORY to install one of the latest Stock Nougat TWRP flashables. This will ensure that all affected partitions are compatible with Stock Nougat and Custom Oreo roms. You can get these from this thread here:
[Nougat][Stock][Rom] TWRP Flashable Stock Builds
So flash the persist fix from the first link, and flash the latest Nougat stock rom from the second. Reboot and make sure all is working OK in stock. Then flash whichever custom rom you want.

can you please guide me to install a custom oreo rom. because when i try to flash custom oreo rom (franken rom i used) , the rom gets flashed but the gapps (arm64 mini 8.1.x) fails everytime and shows error code 20 (incompatible rom). but i had flashed both the rom and the gapps successfully before the fingerprint issue bcoz of which i had to flash the stock 7.0 with the persist fix. and one more thing the rom is getting flashed succesfully (as twrp shows me) but when i try to boot into system without the gapps installed( i.e. only with the rom) it gets stuck on the bootloader page so i think the rom itself is not getting flashed. please help......
