Sorry for my English and i wish you a lot of fun with the rom :)

* Dont Flash this Rom... To many Bugs. sorry guys *
[HTC Tornado] glennza:
Congratulations on your first ROM!!!!!!

Have you included any of the fixes for the bugs that have been found in Gnatgosplat's ROM? I would like to try yours but would prefer to install a "fixed" version.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Thanks for having my name mentioned here. It wasnt anything much that I do. Thank you BlackDragon.

This isnt my first time flashing ROM but this time around I am faced with TeraTerm issue. I get the response "Cannot Connect" when setting up the TeraTerm connection. I Hard reset my device, Clean Storage and yet I still get the same response. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] beer2nd:
Thankx Man!!
[HTC Tornado] Pumpiron579:
Try a different computer. Run disk cleanup. Then try setting up Tera Term.

Just a thought
[HTC Tornado] Pumpiron579:
WM 6.1 Vanilla......How about some screen shots?
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Unfortunately I dont have another computer. I am working from home.

"Disk cleanup" does that mean reformat the hard disk??

Thanks for your kind thoughts:)
[HTC Tornado] madeo2007:
Ensure your Tornado is in 3-colour mode

And i wonder whether you can find the "usb" in the "Serial" option.

If not, you can choose any such as "com1", and click ok: donot close TeraTerm.exe.

Open another TeraTerm.exe, and then you can see the "usb" in "Serial" option, choose "usb": before clicking "OK", close the first TeraTerm.exe application.

In this way, i think your problem can be handled.
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Everytime I wanted to flash I followed KarHoe's guide to the book just to ensure I dont miss anything out; dont want to brick my precious Tornado though:D. Yes the device is in 3-color mode. And there is "usb" in the "serial" option of TeraTerm.

I tried your suggestion but Unfortunately i still "cannot open"...:mad:

Thanks for the help anyway.

[HTC Tornado] madeo2007:
any bug fixed?
[HTC Tornado] madeo2007:
i am sorry~~
[HTC Tornado] illi:
oh ya disk clean up. i even did defrag. reboot both pc and phone. nothing. googling now if there is solution to be found.

thanks for the concern. i appreciate it very much.
[HTC Tornado] kancrutt:
pleasee,,please,,screenshot
[HTC Tornado] illi:
I will post pics once I solve my flashing problem. But hope someone can do it before I do.

thanks
[HTC Tornado] Pumpiron579:
I take it Tera Term is just not able to find the phone. Try unuinstalling active sync and reinstalling active sync. I think it has some thing to do with your PC not reading your phone. If you can get it into bootloader, you should be able to flash something on it.
[HTC Tornado] glennza:
Don't forget to unselect "Allow USB Connections" in ActiveSync before you use TeraTerm!!
[HTC Tornado] illi:
THANKS to all you guys...

My heart-felt thanks to all you fantastic guys. Firstly to Blackdragon_860 who worked tirelessly through the day and night to release this fantastic ROM. (I know, as I do, we, ROM junkies were eagerly waiting for a refreshed ROM to be flashed). Secondly to all you guys out there who provided suggestions on how to solved my TeraTerm issue. Also to those who symphatised with me. THANKS! You guys are :cool:

I somehow managed to get TeraTerm to connect:cool: I did two things. First in Settings>Connections>USB to PC>set to off. I also switched the usb port. So I cant exactly determine which of these two solved my problem.

and here are some stats and pics.

Available Storage: 18.52

Total Storage: 20.94

Available Memory: 27.17

Total Memory: 48.68

Not much different from Gnat's ROM.

I havent really played around with it yet so cant say what's missing or any bugs around.

The significant additions (as far as i am concerned) are the modified *.cpr file (that control how the homescreen is displayed) and the bronzeres.dll which contains the pics for the homescreen. This bronzeres.dll had more than 100 pics instead of the original which only had about 80. (I found this file elsewhere in this forum; thanks to the contributor). If you want to view the content of the bronzeres.dll, download PE Explorer and install to your pc (please google for it).

Attached are the pics.

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL!!
[HTC Tornado] Blackdragon_860:
Sorry Guys, i was sleeping..

Illi, Good that you solved your problem and thank you very much for your screens.

I dont know really what for bugs have gnagnosplat's rom. Perhaps someone can write that here and i would show to fix that.

What i can say is, that the rom very fast and stable is

But what i doesnt make in that rom is, to install other software. This rom must remain clean. The full rom, would have the tools that you have postet in the other thread.

[HTC Tornado] illi:
Problem

I think most, if not all, bugs in GnatGoSplat's ROM is with this ROM too. Eg. WMP full-screen does not "sick" after a few seconds it reverts to default screen. Not only that, I am being "kicked" out of applications unexpectedly. The appman.exe seems to have shortage of memory to run programs.

System error:

"Cannot start 'appman.exe'. A critical component is either missing or failing due to low memory"

So, I would suggest those who intend to flash this ROM but havent done so, please hold back. Do not flash yet until I am sure its not the ROM but my apps installation. BTW I didnt install that many and they were the same apps that I installed when I was with Gnat's ROM.

@Blackdragon_860 - I am sorry, looks like you need to get back to the re-cooking. But we must determine the problem first. I am still testing.
[HTC Tornado] madeo2007:
I am a Chinese user.

After installing Chinese font into Gnagnosplat's rom, the "getting started"(WelcomeCenter.exe) program would get failed, showing as follows:

Error

WelcomeCenter.exe

PlatformNotSupportedException

at System.Globalization.CompareInfo..ctor(Int32 culture)

…

at System.String.IndexOf(Char Value, Int32 startIndex, Int32 count)

…

at Microsoft.Win32.RegisytryKey.FixupName(String name)

…

where I omit some details which I think are not that important or approach the same errors as the above shows.

I think it is caused by the language support problem or I/O problem.

and some Chinese program could run well in this rom...

if I dont install Chinese font, all programs run stable and fast including the applications with Chinese~~
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Further to my post yesterday these are some of the issues:

- wmp will not play more than a minute in full screen mode

- loudness is probably 25% of what loud should be

- edited registry settings revert to default after a reboot.

- removing the battery will revert the clock to the year 2006

- active sync connection is not stable (well maybe because of my pc since I had that TeraTerm issue yesterday)

These are what I can remember for now.

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] Blackdragon_860:
Can please someone other test the rom?

I dont have all this problems. I dont kno why you have all this. Perhabs you dont have flashed the rom right?!

*EDIT* OK, ILLI HAVE RIGHT.. IT HAVE RIGHT. PLEASE DONT FLASH THIS ROM.!!!!

SORRY FOR THAT, I HAVE IT NOT ENOUGH TESTED
[HTC Tornado] giannit:
Hi Blackdragon_860,

your rom is no more buggy than others: except for some minor things (like AM/PM appearing as "??" chars, and a couple of other bits), I find it very fast and quite stable (would have personally preferred xT9... but T9 is ok anyways).

Despect the one you started from, BT (de)activation works perfectly, so I'm finally able to use a gps reciever on a wm6.1... great job.

I'm a mobile dev (for automotive devices :-x), and would like to dive into phone cooking: if you are willing to share it, I'd like start with your kitchen, and so exchange any good thing I can do for it! :-) :-)

Hope you'll agree and start a productive collaboration.

Cheers,

giannit
[HTC Tornado] illi:
This will be a good combination of great minds.

Good luck
[HTC Tornado] giannit:
Twice as great, including you and your contributions.

Do you have russian version
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Iforgetthings:
Ok so I'm very disappointed that the WiFi Calling function (VoWifi) has been disabled in this phone, along with Volte, take a look in your phone information by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and you will see that they're both there but disabled. You can enable Volte by dialing *#*#86583#*#* and you will see an enhanced 4g LTE Mode option appear in network settings and get HD (calling) in the status bar when on 4g, depending on your network.

BUT, there seems no way to enable WiFi calling? There is a Magisk module available called voenabler which I have installed, it has enabled the wifi calling menu, but when I make a call with no mobile network I get the message "Mobile network not available. Connect to a wireless network to make a call" as opposed to the usual "Mobile network no available" So it seems that it's trying, but not seeing my network?

I know it can provider dependant, I get HD calling and IMS registration, just seems like an odd error msg, can anyone shed any light on this please?

From my research it seems that this could be an AndroidOne license thing, my Brother has bought a P20 lite and it works out of the box, are Google saving the functions for it's flagship Pixels or network contract phones? Wouldn't surprise me, maybe Pie will switch it on....... Doubt it.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] fasty:
I'm surprised that there is not more activity on this thread.

WiFi calling is very convenient in poor signal areas but as you say it seems to be disabled on this phone.

I'm now using A2 lite as my daily phone, VOLTE working great but lack of WiFi calling a real disappointment.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] ORiZorrie:
Just for mental support, I'm also very disappointed that this feature is missing. I really need this feature in my well isolated home. I have to go outdoors to make phone calls.....

Under debug (*#*#INFO#*#*) it's indeed still locked. Disabled carrier check for VOLte as you said with *#*#86583#*#* though.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Iforgetthings:
Yes I've all but given up... I've had the phone months but not used it.

I'll keep it until the pie update, a comment on the pie thread said that it enabled volte with a working ims, I asked but no one confirmed wether or not vowifi was enabled or switchable in the info settings.

Trouble is there is no information about vowifi in any other android one phone? If I knew it was available I'd buy a Nokia 6.1 plus for example.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Iforgetthings:
Reset phone back to factory, installed Pie ota, both volte and vowifi are disabled as in Oreo. Real shame as this A2 is a cracking phone for the price, but I'll have to find something else. Preferably AndroidOne with WiFi calling!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] kitaco:
VoLTE & WiFI Calling not working for T-Mobile USA. Even 2G/3G calling is spotty at best. If you want to use the Mi A2 Lite for calling on T-Mobile in USA, good luck. 4G LTE, data, MMS/SMS are flawless, however calling is really bad.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
Wifi calling is working fine, if you're supported the toggles show up in google phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
I used magisk module voenable although I don't think it did anything, could be wrong but wifi calling and volte working great
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Iforgetthings:
Thanks Boe!

I see you're in the Uk, what network are you on? Contract / sim only? I've tried most in my A2 Lite and none worked but they were just payg sims. I haven't tried the voenabler again after installing Pie.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
Both networks are contract ,Vodafone uk and EE UK, they both have wifi 4g calling enabled in there provider account , plus didn't work untill I dialed that number , flashed magisk also with module voenable. I didn't check for wifi option in Google phone before magisk so don't know if it helped or not. Reading in xiomi forum, it's disabled for certain countries including UK even though it's a global use phone, which is rediculous.Have a look in your provider account if you have one, or create an account so you have access to sim provider config.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
Latest beta v27 Google phone if that helps.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Iforgetthings:
Cheers. I'm on BT uk and have vowifi enabled as I've put my sim in an iphone and it went on wifi calling. My brother has ee, I'll try his card.

They seem to have done something new for Pie as previously only one sim could get 4g? Looks like I'll have to re-install magisk and try voenable again, was it simple in pie with the different bootimage?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
Same process but with 10.20 patched boot in pie dump thread, i still made my own though, seems logical to use your own patched boot. Although check to make sure its the right size as first time i did it, the patch had zero bytes. Wifi calling enables on both sims and hd calling, i assume its just a bug, sometimes it works as expected and sometimes it enables everything on both sims lol, battery goes quick. Wish i could get nfc on it but theres no chip so thats a no go. As long as you dont mess with the system partition outside of magisk ota's will be more simple to sort out, keep stock boot as back up on pc and phone. Busy box is one file in sbin folder if you install it.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] kierzu:
I can confirm that Wifi Calling works on Orange Poland after installing VoEnabler module in Magisk:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Iforgetthings:
Cheers Guys!

Reinstalled Magisk and Voenabler after removing it to upgrade to Pie, and have Wifi calling on BT uk! Tested and working.

Definitely something to do with Pie as would not work in Oreo (or without voenable in Pie)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
Glad you sorted it bro, it's nice to have functions working.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Iforgetthings:
Yes it is, you're right it is ridiculous that it's disabled and I still suspect it's androidone licensing or network pressure limiting the functions.

And it shows what a load of BS and miss-information there is around wifi calling, I called BT and asked saying I wanted to buy a new phone with it, the first guy who seemed quite bright said it should work if the phone's not on their official list as long as the phone supports it (he seemed a little reluctant, like he shouldn't be telling me) The second call when I asked if they could check I was sim enabled I was told by a lady that it definitely would not work unless I bought a phone from their list - Xiaomi? Who are they?

And according to my BT app I still don't have either volte or vowifi.....

I'm well pleased, I have no / borderline network signal from any provider in or around my home so now I have a working phone!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] pados100:
Guys any idea if the Pie update on A2 made possible the Vowifi? I tried on mine but only Volte seems to work. Cosmote Greece.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
Yes it works on pie but you need magisk and voenable module
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] pados100:
I ve done all of them but nothing for me... Do you find the wifi calling option in your settings?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] :
Go to Google's Phone app, click on hamburger icon, Calling accounts => SIM1/SIM2 =>Wi-Fi Calling
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] pados100:
Done everything but still no Vowifi. On my A8 both Volte and Vowifi working fine. On my Mi8 global beta also working fine... I don't understand...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Iforgetthings:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and look in phone information to see if vowifi is switched on, voenabler should have done that if you get the setting in phone app.

Check top right menu, IMS service status, if you get volte it should be registered but if it says vowifi unavailable you have a problem. Possibly with your provider?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] :
Try this:

Turn the Wi-Fi Calling in Phone app menu off.

Disable VoEnabler module in MagiskManager.

Reboot

Enable VoEnabler module in MagiskManager.

Turn the Location Services in Settings on.

Reboot

Turn the Wi-Fi Calling in Phone app menu on.

Turn the Location Services in Settings off.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] colinstone:
Hello Boe323. I too have a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite on Vodafone UK 12 month contract and would like to enable VoWifi. I've enabled VoLTE with the#* code. As I am pretty new to all this, I'd appreciate some more detail on what you did. Many thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
Im on the latest pie update, so update to latest. Root phone with magisk, install voenable in magisk modules. Thats basically it, apart from joining beta for google phone and downloading latest v27 version, the wifi calling options should show in google phone, try click on carrier provisioning at bottom right of screen after dialling *#*#4636#*#* wait a min or 2 and then turn off the radio toggle for a min so sim will be reset. Thats all can suggest to try as thats what i did. Oh, check your vofafone account to see if wifi 4g calling is enabled and check apn settings to make sure ims is there. If ims isnt there, create new apn called vodafone UK IMS, apn: ims, apn type:ims and save.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Iforgetthings:
First you need to unlock the bootloader, this wipes your phone so make sure it's backed up to Google.

https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952

This is a guide to install magisk, it's the one you need to use and includes the tools to unlock the bootloader, page 33 details pie instructions but read all the first post.

When in magisk search voenabler and install.

Lots of stuff here and videos on the web about the subject, read and watch it to familiarise yourself with it and get what you need first, it's what I did. I haven't messed with this stuff for many years.

Interesting about the APN, I went through all that and it made no difference (in Oreo) Now it's working I checked and the APN's haven't changed, no reference to ims
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
new update breaks HD calling on vodafone, i suspect there will be other networks also. Im trying to downgrade to get it working again, first i tried just the modem.img but that didnt work.

Thanks for letting us know mate.

Just volte? Is vowifi still working? I haven't updated pie at all for fear of it breaking vowifi! I don't know if there have been any significant updates? I haven't had a single issue (low user) with pie so I'm happy enough.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
Oh, i didnt root it to find out if wifi calling still worked. Ive downgraded back to 1.0.3.0. and its working again, now im constantly factory resetting tryin to get the camera button back in android messages lol. My EE UK sim still worked on HD with update but vodafone wouldnt have it, flashing previous modem on it own doesnt fix it. Really buggy if you ask me. You can upgrade to 1.0.3.0 and root to get vowifi and disable carrier for HD calling.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] boe323:
So i downgraded and enabled volte, updated and is now working fine with new update, yet to test wifi calling but shouldnt be a problem hopefully. Cannot get the camera button back at all, it sits next to the plus button in android messages, it will not come back and is annoying. Did you know that factory resetting and then setting active slot back to A puts the software back 1.0.3.0 ?, just found out, and it wont install the update after that.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BiG_FooT:
Very disappointed that WiFi calling / VOWiFi isn't enabled by default. I don't want to root my device as it's buggy, difficult to achieve and I want to receive security updates easily.

Question, how to make Xiaomi aware that they need to add a 'switch' in settings so that we can enable it easily? (See attached picture for example)?

If we drop this question massively @ the right address it may help to get this setting with an update.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Iforgetthings:
I don't understand why Xiaomi would cripple their phones intentionally, disabling functions that are selling points in todays crowded market. Perhaps it is Google dictating to them under the GoogleOne licensing? Because of 'network compatibility issues' which is rubbish as there is a lot of miss-information from the networks about vowifi compatibility as they want you to buy a phone from them (my network app still tells me I don't have vowifi or 4g calling...) Or is it just Google wanting to sell Pixels with all the functions?

Who knows.

Rooting is easy with the Magisk tutorial on here (do not follow the twrp method), as for updates I can't be bothered with the incremental monthly issues and disable auto-update, maybe in six months or if there are any worthwhile system updates to improve the phones function I will.

As I have no root dependant apps except Magisk, or any apps that may have corrupted my system, as far as I know I just uninstall Magisk which removes root, update pie then get a patched boot image for the new build and install Magisk again.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Iforgetthings:
Have got your button back yet ;)

After having no signal at home for two years I have been relying on whatsapp, I had a look in my text app and yeah the camera is there when you hit the + button.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] viking777:
I just updated to 10.0.7.0 via ota! Very soon after that I got a text message from my isp saying that wifi calling had been activated on my phone. This might have been a coincidence or it might have been a result of the update, I don't know, but I set about getting it going and eventually succeeded with a little bit of help from this thread. This is how it worked for me.

It does seem as if the Magisk 'voenable' module is necessary, so install and enable that, but after that the instructions on this thread did not work for me mainly because nobody told me exactly how to access the settings to switch it on, so here they are: (bear in mind I am using 10.0.7.0) I don't know if they will be the same on earlier versions).

1] Open the phone app

2]Tap the three dots at the end of the search bar.

3]Select settings.

4]Select 'Calling Accounts'

5]Select your first sim card.

6] Tap 'wifi calling'

7] Switch the function on

8] Switch to card 2

9] Switch that on(if you want it on both cards).

Then, to test it switch on Aeroplane mode, switch wifi back on, and make a call. If it asks you to select a sim card for the call then the function is not enabled, otherwise the call should connect.

There is even a selection available in the sim card menus to select if you want to prefer wifi calling or mobile calling which some might want to utilise.
