[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] TechGuyOnTechIT:
No! The end user could modify the modem if it has root privileges, connected to the PC via modem mode and using a program called QPST (which carriers use) available for public download, we could manage to change the phone's SIM status, IMEI, certain modem code, advanced diagnostic information, etc.

The thing is the program is not as easy as you might think. One wrong move and the phone won't make calls. Also, the main program is live since 2008, so the interface will be a bit weird.

Tl;dr, there is a program that allows you to change (if you thought I'm saying bad information, then how on earth will your carrier make your phone VoLTE compatible if they don't have that piece of software) and is available both to the carriers and to the public (mainly for those who run repair shops). So that's why many repair shops offer you SIM-level troubleshooting.

There may be a program for Exynos based modems, we just didn't found it or it's not available to the public.

Can I ask who is "we"?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] TechGuyOnTechIT:
1. Yes, it's pretty easy to access it, but not when modifying it :laugh:

2. We means the whole A5 2017 Exynos modding community, pretty sure there is another one like me who wants to do the same thing :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] SnowFuhrer:
Qpst can only enable (if it can at all) volte if it the ROM supports it. Stock Samsung possibly supports volte but it is not enabled on all carriers.(mine for example). You have to have volte support in your system, not just modem because there would be no interface for the phone to utilize it.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] TechGuyOnTechIT:
Well, yes and no. VoLTE is supported by RR ROM. So in theory VoLTE works out of the box, because the only piece of code to tell Android to enable VoLTE is just to change a line under the props.config file.

Android utilises the modem partition to receive data and stuff from the SIM, but because it's based out of GSM which is a standard since IDK, you can use a piece of application that works not just on Android, but also other types of phones or even iPhones (if of course you have access to the modem partition).

Systemwise, you just need to change a line, but for the phone side, the key is to make the carrier know your phone is eligible for VoLTE.

Don't think that I know everything, nonono. I still have a lot to learn, so please send a reply if you know better than me.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] SnowFuhrer:
Yes resurrection remix supports volte but different phones have different volte drivers. Everything is ready for volte except the drivers need to be made/ported. Think of it this way: you have Windows 10/rr on your PC and want to use Bluetooth which didn't come stock. So you buy a Bluetooth dongle/volte but you aren't ready yet. You have to have the Bluetooth driver. So fortunate for you, the manufacturer made it already and released it for everyone to use. Now in our case, we are lacking the drivers. And we can't just go download them. Hope this makes sense. :)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] TechGuyOnTechIT:
Ouch :(, sorry to tell you, but you fell into the common linux trap. Everyone knows that Android is based out of linux. An upside of Linux is the fact that all drivers are built in its kernel (because it's open-source and taking care of drivers is easier than ever) so that's why the majority of the linux kernel works out of the box with your PC.

Another ouch is the fact that this ROM was built in addition with samsung's kernel (otherwise the system would not work), so it means that the drivers are already available to be used.

The problem here is not the built ROM, neither the driver, modem, etc. but with the way the carrier handles VoLTE ROMS.

The thing is, very few people could VoLTE their custom ROMS because it's up to the carrier if it tollerates the specific phone.

So this is why as I said many posts before, this subject is complicated, but it's worth knowing! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] moozer:
It still doesn't make it a simple process and as such, my comment still stands.

BTW...if we see the other guy, we'll let him know there is another.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] TechGuyOnTechIT:
1. For the sake of this post, let's stop chattering for nothing, because PM wasn't invented for nothing. I said it's possible, not that it's only for stock samsung rom nonsense.

2. *Facepalm* noo, I just said that in this world there may be another guy that makes this thing reality.

P.S Oops now it looks kind of a biased message. Sorry! :)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] SnowFuhrer:
No I didn't fall into any trap. Samsung's kernel can't be used for these lineage based roms. This is why corsicanu's hadesrom has volte and FM radio. Go ask a dev or something and see if hadeskernel is compatible with lineage based roms. It isn't.

I'm leaving now. This is hopeless.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] TechGuyOnTechIT:
*Facepalm*, look, hadesrom has the FM radio and VoLTE because the ROM was basically ripped out of another samsung ROM which so happens to have the same modem stuff that this one has.

LineageOS can do it (no wonder why my HTC has FM radio).

It's the simple fact that the builder and the carrier just don't hesitate to put extra effort for this, I mean, not everyone has a custom ROM, so it's smarter to just let it how it is.

About leaving, I was originally planning to do that, but my mission is to learn the new and the experienced ones that your phone is software-wise 100% customizable, and the sky is the limit both to performance, battery life, storage, media, camera, audio, phone and much more, because the phone is meant to be yours 100%, not 50%. So, even though you say yes or no, the truth is that you can modify and have VoLTE, even though you don't consider it, there's still the possibility (except if the carrier is ok or not, obviously, that couldn't be changed)

Tl;dr, it can be used if you struggle to mess with the code, and this is why many just don't have it.

Hope you made it understand, otherwise I'll wake up with a forum full of incorrect nonsense full of people saying no, this is impossible. But it is for only those who are Android daredevils and for those who believe that in the future carriers will finally support all kinds of phones, and maybe we'll be turning to Vo5G.

Lineage OS 16 support

Last month this phone got official Lineage OS 16 support. So anything can happen, the user base is still big. The mid-range phone that Samsung is selling now don't have the LTE band compatibilty as this serie. The Lineage builds are very good.

For now, RR is not an option due to security patch level, until Letsmakecakes gets more time to build. Just keep our fingers crossed.
