VoLTE

Anyone able to get VoLTE working with crDroid 6.9? I tried flashing VoEnabler 1.8 with no luck. I've tried editing the build.prop but the edits will not stick. Any thoughts or suggestions?

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

Anyone else having a problem with Google Photos force closing?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] monark88:
I don't use, nor advocate the use of Google apps.

As for VoLTE, I've modified the build.prop settings in this build.

Also this build has the latest Sep 5, 2020 security patches.

VoLTE is working fine for me on 6.9, carrier: verizon, network type: LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA (PRL) aka Global.

Thanks for the 6.10 update, will flash tomorrow :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] njsges:
I have the same carrier Verizon and network type. Prior to installing crDroid, I flashed stock Jan20-PH1-Images-QQ1A.200105.007. I tried both 6.9 and 6.10 with Gapps and Magisk. No VoLTE with either. Any suggestions from anyone?

Hi monark88, hi guys

I've been using cr.Droid 6.9 the last few weeks and I cans say that there is an issue that makes me sad.

It is about of quality problem during a call via WhatsApp. Sometimes the other side can't hear me good, but I can hear them perfect.

Also if I start the loudspeaker then when I switch it off the other side again can't hear me and I can hear them again perfect. Only recall makes the call normal.

If I make Video-call then my mic doesn't work again.

It is know issue about this problem with the mic to another Roms too. How it can be fixed?

Some people with the same problem here?

P.p: The Rom is realy good!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] foueddyf:
I actually have the exact same problem but with Signal (I don't use Whatsapp but it's the same type of app).

I'll try and provide a logcat later.

Continued VoLTE issue

First I need to say I love this ROM going back the my Nexus 6p, Nexus 5x and Droid Turbo and love is on my Essential. That being said, I am still having issues with VoLTE on my Verizon network. I have tried 6.8, 6.9 and 6.10 (unable to find 6.7) both without and with VoEnabler 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8. I do not get a VoLTE tab within the Network settings and therefore no way to turn it on. I would love to use this ROM still, but no data while on a call is problematic. Does anyone have any other thoughts or ideas and how to correct this issue? Help would be greatly appreciated.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] freshlysqueezed:
Volte is working for me on Verizon on the September 6.10 build.

A while back, I also lost volte and the only thing that worked is going back to the stock android 9 firmware and doing an ota to android 10.

Steps to get crDroid v6.10 with VoLTE

After lots of trials and tribulations, trying over and over, and 3 confirmations of the steps, I can confirm that crDroid v6.10 works with VoLTE. While some of these steps may be redundant or not necessary, this is what worked for me. I wanted to share since several people helped me get to this point. Enjoy!!

1)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader

2)	Fastboot Feb 20 stock image

3)	Recovery factory reset (may go to recovery automatically)

4)	Reboot phone

5)	Turn on Developer options

6)	Turn on USB Debugging, unplug and plug back in to recognize Debugging

7)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader

8)	C:\adb\platform-tools>fastboot getvar current-slot

current-slot: _b (if _a then ‘boot_b’ in step 9)

9)	C:\adb\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot_a C:\adb\platform-tools\twrp-3.2.3-0-mata.img

Sending 'boot_a' (48712 KB) OKAY [ 1.210s]

Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.469s]

10)	C:\adb\platform-tools>fastboot --set-active=a

Setting current slot to 'a' OKAY [ 0.165s]

11)	Reboot into twrp

12)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb shell twrp sideload (good chance the twrp touchscreen will not work)

13)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb sideload "D:\Essential Roms\crDroidAndroid-10.0-20200916-mata-v6.10.zip"

14)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb shell twrp sideload

15)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb sideload C:\adb\platform-tools\twrp-installer-mata-3.2.3-0.zip

16)	Wipe data, cache and dalvik in recovery

17)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb reboot to start phone

18)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader

19)	Reboot twrp recovery

20)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb shell twrp sideload

21)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb sideload "D:\Essential Roms\open_gapps-arm64-10.0-micro-20200912.zip"

22)	Wipe data, cache and dalvik in recovery

23)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb reboot to start phone

24)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader

25)	Reboot into twrp recovery mode

26)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb shell twrp sideload

27)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb sideload C:\adb\platform-tools\Magisk-v20.4(20400).zip

Total xfer: 1.39x

28)	Wipe data, cache and dalvik in recovery

29)	C:\adb\platform-tools>adb reboot

30) You should now be at the "Welcome" screen

[MENTION=6473836]monark88[/MENTION]

Having tested all ROM's, this one is a work of art. Kudos Monark ! Impressive work.

There seems to be an issue (in all Lineage based Roms) with the speakers and microphones.

1. In call speaker always on max level, adjusting doesn't do anything

2. In call earpiece is messed up, also "locks" on super high with no ability to adjust, but "frees" itself after a few slides of the volume bar (the speaker though never frees itself and always high)

3. Various Whatsapp/Signal calling oddities.

Are these known or am I the only one ?

Same behavior on LineageOS and Lineage for MicroG...
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] monark88:
Thank you. All credit to LOS/crDroid team. I've noticed the exact same issues, and I believe it is in the lineage source trees.

EDIT: my hotspot woes were with the carrier, not the ROM
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baboon23:
I hear that !

Do you think these issues can be hotfixed or worked around in your build someday? Perhaps with a pre baked 3rd party volume module ?

Lineage have no plan of fixing it and I know these bugs have been reported months ago and they are still not on their to do list.

Official Lineage is pretty much monthly Security patch only now, leaving your crDroid our only outlet for specific PH1 fixes :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WiddleyScudds:
After step 8 , I get fastboot: error: coudn't parse partition size '0x'

Any thoughts? I'm using the latest SDK and the phone still boots, thankfully. I'm just trying to flash TWRP or even the stock January update, then try it. The phone is not co operating very much. It seems my partitions are messed up somehow.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baboon23:
Discovery of the week for me :

Flashing the .008 AOSP vendor image from Essental (fastboot flash vendor_a and b) makes the roms register IMS/Volte at the network level- where before it did not.

Only side effect is TWRP loses a couple more mm of display from the right, but still workable and touch enabled.

Only problem now is the various software sound/speaker/mic issues that Lineage do not care about... When Monark fixes this my company (we have 6xPH-1 with cdDroid) will thank him very much.

Paranoid Android has working mics/speaker, probably because it is not on the Lineage trees, so I am certain we can fix this !

Widdy - Did you try "fastboot getvar all" ?

Also did you try to start fresh with a fastboot -w and then flashing the 2gb Jan stock image ?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WiddleyScudds:
It was the cable!! I read a few people solving issues with a new cable but, it's the type of thing you have to see to believe. Anyways I appreciate the response. Now I'm tempted to try what you just said because my phone seems very slow over my network , wifi is fine. Could be my VPN, I haven't tested it yet.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ivangundampc:
Thanks for developing such a great rom, I have flashed it (clean flash) and it is very smooth. I would like to use it for daily purpose, but it seems that the battery drain is quite fast compare to the stock rom, it drops >10% a night without any usage. Is there any user of this rom has a similar problem?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baboon23:
When I used it it had one of the best mA drain... Don't remember figures but it was better than other ROMS.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] foueddyf:
The drainage is either your reception is not great, apps running in the background, or both.

I get the same drainage as you overnight. But in airplane mode, I lose 1%.

If you want to isolate the culprit even more. Instead of enabling airplane mode, only disable your cellular data overnight and see how much battery you lose.

Btw, battery drain 3% overnight which is the same as stock for me.

Did anyone catch the Next Release Lineage notes ?

"mata: Annotate the mic locations" :cool::cool:

Will you be able to update the trees with that Monark ? hopefully that fixes a lot of the audio mess
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] monark88:
I did see that, and I regret to say that the changes are only comments within an XML file. It won't actually fix anything. :(

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_essential_mata/+/291084/1/audio/mixer_paths_tasha.xml

What fixes are you hoping to see?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baboon23:
Aww :(

Well, the in-call volume adjustment is not working in speaker mode(ie never works), and broken on regular mode (ie not always adjusting but eventually it does)

Also some complains with signal/telegram/whatsapp calls not using the correct microphones.

All of the above works fine with CleanSlateQuartz kernel. but not with lineage.

The bummer is- I suspect it will be the same with android 11.

By the way is it possible to build CRDROID with cleanslate ? Not that I demand anything, you are already too generous and god bless you, but just in theory :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mpena:
Maybe that commit no, but the active one maybe can help.

I refer to this:

No mention of volume :(

Would be helpful if 2-3 guys here send Ethan Chen an email so that he sees i'm not the only one

mpena maybe drop him a short mail about this too ?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mpena:
Yea, we can notify expecting that he maybe try to fix that bug.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] monark88:
Yes, probably best course of action there. Also, I tried getting logcats of voicemail notifications not working to send to LOS crew, but was unable to capture anything significant.

Thanks, the calls in speaker mode is working fine?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] monark88:
No, as I said in my original post, I tested the speaker phone volume, still the same. E.G. the volume sliders do not change the call volume.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mpena:
sorry I did´t explain very well, I refer to the noisy (the bad sound that receive the other people during the calls) in speaker mode
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chanh2018:
Thanks for the update.

Question: I did dirtyflash and the phone got stuck at boot logo animation. I end up wipe everything and did clean flash and lost all my data. Is this just me or bug for this release?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] monark88:
I use microg, and currently microg does not dirty flash / upgrade correctly, so I always have to clean flash.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chanh2018:
Ok, thanks for the info. Then look like I have to re-setup my phone everytime you release an update :p
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] monark88:

Hi guys,

I have to install untill this weekend on my phone Android 10 with working mic for WhatsApp, Viber and so on because all my phone calls will be through them. I don;t want the stock so which one is without this issue?

Franly, I like very much CrDroid everything is working fine except this mic/speaker problem.

I think also that I'm able to donate some amount if somebody solves this realy not nice problem and I do believe there are some people can join it too.

I take back, it's Google issues on my phone, not the rom. Everything is good now.

@monark88 hi friend!

Could you please do me a favor, another developer asked me to "extract the line of code in the VoLTE files where carrier MCC 425 MNC 01 is mentioned, I want to see what it says that that makes it work and connect to VoLTE so I can copy it"

Your ROM has proper, working VoLTE for my carrier (425/01) and I'd love to see in the list of all carriers what is the code so we can port it to other android phones as well and eventually the AOSP.

If you've done some other trick yourself, outside of the crDroid trees to make it work, do let me know so I can pass it on!

Your rom is excellent.

Thanks!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] monark88:
Sorry for the late reply. All I did to get VoLTE working was add this to the build.prop:

echo "# VoLTE settings"
echo "persist.sys.cust.lte_config=true"
echo "persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr=1"
echo "persist.dbg.ims_volte_enable=1"
echo "persist.radio.volte.dan_support=true"
echo "persist.data.iwlan=1"
echo "persist.data.iwlan.enable=true"
echo "persist.data.iwlan.ipsec.ap=1"
echo "persist.radio.calls.on.ims=1"
echo "persist.radio.data_con_rprt=1"
echo "persist.dbg.vt_avail_ovr=1 "
echo "persist.dbg.wfc_avail_ovr=1 "
echo "persist.radio.rat_on=combine "
echo "persist.radio.data_ltd_sys_ind=1"

I added it in a non-standard way, i'm sure. I always modify build/tools/buildinfo.sh to remove information I don't want exposed about me, my server, and my builds. I added the properties at the bottom of that file. I stash the changes each time i do a repo sync.

Edit: Oh, and thanks for the compliments about the ROM. crDroid has been very easy to work with. I really should look at becoming official, I just don't have time to devote to being an official maintainer. And on that note, I hope to upload this month's build ASAP.

No, please don't! Keep 10 going for as long as you can! Stable, solid, secure! 👍🏻
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] monark88:
Actually, I'm with you. I will not be updating my builds to Android 11, and will continue with Android 10 builds as long as crDroid team continues. In the event that crDroid stops all Android 10 development, I will look into merging lineage trees as necessary for updates. I've done this with ROMs in the past. If you want a solid, stable OS, don't worry, that's my goal too.
