Does flashing custom rom as lineage os or aicp activate VoLTE? - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Plz explain guy, i kaafi wanna know after i flash custom is everything working fine? Which rom is best for Moto x style?

No... VoLTE works just fine on most ROM's including stock, unless your carrier is Jio, then it is not supported in the modem firmware (yet), your actual installed ROM is not relevant as long as it supports VoLTE. There are rumors there might be a Nougat "patch" to enable it, but I would put that in the realm of hopeful user's wishes rather than truth.
If the Moto G 2015 is any indication, once it is working in stock with stock modem firmware, developers can likely get it working in custom ROMs but it might take some time (it took nearly a year to get it working in that device after the device supported it)

A5_UL Eu single sim (and any compatible variants) Working ROM thread

Hi all.
I'm using CM12.1 5.1.1 from 20150429. Grarak unofficial ROM.
Any Cm12.1 based ROM newer than this has bugs making my phone unusable.
-long time detecting sim card, and long time getting a cellular connection once sim detected
-SMS not sending or receiving
-no calls incoming
Which basically make it a mini tablet ...
So far I've tried a pacman 5.0.3 ROM but found it sluggish.
Does anyone with this same model of phone have a workaround or a suggestion of a stable working 5.1 ROM?
Has anyone tried updating RUU with either success or failures to report?
I'm at a loss here and its a shame, this phone is good value for money and was working well up to this last cm12.1 build.
I really don't want to go back to 5.0, and I'm not sure any sense/stock ROM is better? Can you share positive experience on this matter?
Thanks to all devs who give their time to allow us to use and own our phones. I am grateful and in no way taking any of this for granted.
Without you we'd all have locked phones and no freedom.
And peace to all, above and beyond ALL the rest!
Stock with xposed & some mods like Nitro X spark works fine for me, as there is no good ROM for our phone .. the bugs makes the phone unusable with custom roms :/
And you don't have issues with disk space etc? Stock 5.0, 5.1 or 4.4 ?

Which Custom ROM for ZE500KL/Z00ED supports VOLTE function?

SO it turns out ASUS will not provide official VOLTE update for ZE500KL (5 inch Zenfone Laser), while they have already provided it for the 5.5 inch variant with the same modem and processing hardware. I don't know why this partiality is done by ASUS. I purchased the 5 inch variant only for better handling.
At this moment, I am is desperate need of the VOLTE feature on my phone due to the free calls provided by JIO India. The JIO4G voice app is a battery drainer, super unreliable and most of the time I miss important calls.
My phone is still under warranty and I am willing to void it by unlocking the bootloader, only if there is any custom ROM for ZE500KL available that fully supports VOLTE. I found some RR and LOS ROMS by master @audahadi, but I am not sure they support VOLTE.
Could anyone kindly confirm if any, just any, ROM is available that supports VOLTE on Zenfone Laser 5 inch (ZE500KL/Z00ED)?
Bro I just have tried almost all the cstm roms for z00ed but there is no volte in anyone i found..
I have requested the devs for the same but got negative replie..they said it's not possible untill asus releases the base bands....
Could u suggest a better custom rom

Try lineage os. I'm a newbie so i dont know if i am a right person to answer this. But I've used LOS for about a week now and it is far better than asus stock rom. Soon they will release official Oreo update.
What version of LOS did you use bro? What unit are you using, Z00ED/ZE500KL? Newbie here

Need new ROM for current security updates?

After waiting over a year for the Nougat update (still nothing) and almost a year for a security patch (nothing since Dec 2016), and now knowing Moto will probably never patch the KRACK wpa2 bug, I'm officially done with Motorola and their carelessness with our security.
My questions:
I assume if I load a custom ROM, I will be able to stay up to date with patches and new Android versions? True?
Which one do you all recommend?
Edit: A solution which can pass Safetynet is HIGHLY preferred
I don't need anything fancy, I just want everything to work properly like the stock ROM, but be able to stay up to date
I don't even need root, as in the past I've had some apps stop working if I was rooted, although with systemless root, that night not be a problem anymore. I guess it would be nice to be able to root if desired, but have it as an option only.
Edit- probably should have mentioned I'm on the US Moto X Pure Edition (XT1575)
Thanks for any help.

First off it's a 2 year old phone. That's a normal end of update cycle. Second the 7.0 update is out for the 1575 but for some reason only Sprint Sims seem to have gotten it so far. It's still coming to your phone. Custom roms are nice for updates to a point but safety net still doesn't like them if I recall properly. I switched from the pure to a Moto Z play and have loved it. About to get the October security patch and they're already working on Oreo for it. The pure was the last phone before Lenovo took over. There were issues with the hand off but they seem to have it together mostly now.
@xantanion, thanks for your post. I could argue with you about whether the phone was updated on a timely basis over the last 2 years, but I don't want to get into that right now.
Good point about safetynet. If I'm going to go custom ROM, I'd like to be able to pass safetynet, whether by using Magisk, not rooting, using a custom kernel, whatever options are available/necessary.
With this in mind, any suggestions for a solution?
Not getting security patches (my current situation) is not acceptable.
I'd like to squeeze another year out of this phone before replacing. Thanks for any suggestions

I'd switch to Dirty unicorns. I retired this phone a couple of months ago, but they maintain it regularly, and release monthly security patches. As for safety net, magisk works great. Since on Android 7.0 + even an unlocked bootloader trips safety net, then you actually NEED magisk to patch that and then pass safety net. DU is an unrooted ROM but just flash magisk afterwords.

Lineage OS 14.1 (based on nougat 7.1.2) gets security updates monthly. It's close to vanilla android and doesn't come with all the bells and whistles of unicorns or aicp. This is good for those happy with the stock android features like myself. I don't need custom themes and crazy config options. Never needed a custom kernel. Battery and performance is exceptional as is.
https://download.lineageos.org/clark
Rooting with Magisk 14 will pass safetynet. I use android pay daily with no problems.

I run with a fairly minimal OpenGApps 7.1 arm64 aroma installation. I use the aroma installer and pretty much only check the boxes for a few apps to be pre installed. If I really need something I can grab it from the play store or apk mirror. My base config for OpenGApps aroma is here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2lKWOIH0bTqMEQ1cmo2QjlydDA?usp=sharing

If the new stock 7.0 nougat release is what you're after you can get a twrp backup here you can restore from. Keep in mind this is 7.0 not 7.1.2 and security patch up to only September 2017. This will be the last update to the Moto X Pure/Style. So no further security patches.
I tried stock 7.0 for a few days but went back to Lineage OS. I missed the long press on icons to get actions menu that isn't in 7.0 (among other things).

Thanks, @Spencervb256, for the recommendation and comments on Safetynet and security patches.
Double thanks, @ptn107, for the helpful recommendations and files. I really appreciate you sharing that info.
If you'll continue to put up with my ignorance, do I correctly understand how to restore to stock if I choose to do so later as listed below. I'm still on MPHS24.49-18-16. I didn't update to 7.0.
1) According to this thread, the MotoX Pure can only be returned to the stock firmware it was running before switching to a custom ROM, or to a newer version. You cannot go back to an earlier version.
2) There isn't a firmware .zip available for 24.49-18-16, so according to this post, you flash the 24.49-18-8 .zip (which IS available) and then sideload the .zip from @annoyingduck to update to 18-16 to get back to where you started.
3) Alternately, since the file for Nougat 7.0 is available, I could also update to 7.0, then load a custom ROM, and later return to 7.0 using the available file.
Am I understanding this process correctly?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm not extremely knowledgeable on the whole returning to stock unfortunately...but if you're currently on 6.0, almost all the custom roms are compatible with that firmware, and only a SELECT FEW (such as a lineage os test build) are compatible with the newer 7.0 stock firmware. Paging @dzidexx for a better explanation

Thanks again, @Spencervb256.
So you're saying that the Android version of my custom rom has to match the version of the stock rom that I'm coming from? No mixing marshmallow and nougat?
Also, if I stay on marshmallow and want to return to stock and unroot, I wonder if I can just flash the available nougat firmware and restore the stock recovery. Maybe @dzidexx can help with that question, too.
Wish I was more skilled in all this. Thanks for the help.

No haha it's hard to explain. But until about a month ago, no custom roms could be flashed if users were running stock 7.0 from Moto. Now there are a couple builds of roms which can be flashed over stock 7.0, with no bootloops. This is because Motorola upgraded the modem firmware in stock 7.0, so the custom roms did not work with it.
You can 100% mix the two, so if you are in stock 6.0, you can install any rom you like, as they are made to work with the 6.0 firmware. Even though they are nougat roms.
When stock 7.0 was released, people had issues with installing custom roms over that, because of the modem upgrade, but now there are a couple builds that will install over this firmware and not result in a bootloop.
I will try and find a few links for you which can explain some things, this is all from my mediocre memory haha
If that confused you even more then just stay tuned, I'll send you a pm soon with links to some reading in different threads which explain it much better than I can!
@Spencervb256, I think I understand you. Most of the custom ROMs, whether MM or N, use the stock radios released with MM. When Moto updated to N, they also changed the cellular radio, so the custom ROMs don't work properly unless they are updated to be compatible with it.
So then, if I stay on MM, I can use any custom ROM, if I would've updated, I'd be limited to the few ROMs that were updated.

My rule of thumb is simply wait for the official supported OS version. This means everything (including modem) will work - the community will then hack and modify from there.

question about dirty unicorn rom

Has anyone tried dirty unicorn rom i looked through their official website but did find not anything about its features. My questions are
1. I have not unlocked my bootloader yet and i want to try only this rom. Is this stable enough as daily driver are there any bugs.
2. Does it support volte and how is call and audio quality these three are most important to me specifically audio quality and Volte.
Works great, volte & call quality are fine. Running 05.11 so can't speak for the latest 03.09. Camera is working 90% but that's to be said of all Oreo ROMs at the moment. Word of caution if you go from stock to Oreo be sure to back up your EFS partition because you'll lose volte if you go back to stock from Oreo. If you want to go back to stock from Oreo you have to first flash custom nougat then stock nougat. That's worked for me anyway, I'm sure I'll get corrected if that's not the case. Happy flashing ?

VoLTE not working on any custom ROM (lavender)

HI,
I want to ask wether VoLTE is working for you IF you have Global RN7, With custom ROM (and your carrier and SIM supports VoLTE of course).
I have Global RN7 running on xiaomi.eu based ROM.
Before I flashed ROM from xiaomi.eu based the VoLTE was working fine for me, after I disabled VoLTE carrier check. But now with the xiaomi.eu based ROM, VoLTE no longer works for me. I already asked on the forum for my rom - that is miuios.cz - but it seems they do not know what to do with it.
Besides I tried a few other MIUI base ROMs as well as pure android based like LineageOS for example but VoLTE did not work in ANY custom ROM.
So, has it occured to you too, or your VoLTE is working just fine on custom ROM?
Do you know any way to fix this?
Thanks!
search around for the build.prop edit to allow it or you can try the magisk module voenabler-v1.8.zip https://github.com/edgd1er/voenabler/releases be sure to read the README.
if it still doesnt work refer to this thread:
