[Q] Any 4.2 Rom that would support had-hoc ?

Hello,
I am stuck in a student room where the internet come by cable and with a fully working connection on my computer (Ubuntu)
As I have no data plan , I was wondering if some custom 4.2 ROM would support had-hoc.
Can you please ping here if you are aware of such ROM? Thanks

Infrastructure is not supported by my computer, according to this post: http://askubuntu.com/questions/106745/how-to-find-out-if-my-card-supports-infrastructure-mode
SO I cannot create infrastructure network.
I can create ad hoc network, but so, Android won't recognise it.
I have also tried bluetooth connection sharing, but seems impossible, so I will maybe go back to previous release of CM that support ad hoc.

MIUI custom Rom and Encryption / mobile payment

Hi all
I'm considering getting the Mi 5s at the moment. I'm not sure yet if I wanna root it and get MIUI rom on it, or if I should leave the original Chinese MI Rom on it.
What I discovered so far, I will probably loose all mobile payment (with NFC) functions by rooting it, something I can probably live with. Also some games will refuse to start (looking at you, Pokemon Go), I guess I could live with that too.
What I clearly want though, is full phone encryption. Is that working for you who have the international xiaomi.eu (MIUI) rom installed, or will it crash instead of starting to encrypt?
Thanks

Want to flash custom rom, need VoLTE

I'm getting lost in a lot of the information in here.
I'm fed up with lousy performance and charging my phone 2-3 times per day. I've read a few posts online about how the Exynos version is to blame (lucky me, that's the one I have), and that there are some minor tweaks I can do to both improve the performance and battery life.
However, I am dependent on VoLTE and being able to mask root access (actually, I don't really need root access, I just want to change the CPU settings, which I assume requires root access).
From what I've read none of the AOSP ROMs supports VoLTE, and the Lineage crew says it's impossible for them to support it, while other ROMs says that "everything works" which I would think includes VoLTE.
So to the point. I need to keep VoLTE, and I need to be able to mask root. Is it possible to retain those while:
1) Being able to mod CPU settings
2) Being able to uninstall Samsung (cr)apps
3) Getting a clean android experience without any Samsung customization
Device: SM-G960F
Many thanks.

Im on Soliders ROM, very very good ROM.
I have WiFi calling working, but I have to contact my provider and ask for the config file to be OTA sent to me (only if I full wipe on setup)
I have VoLTE, but it doenst work or activate. Not sure its every worked.

Awesome, but now I have a new question. What does bri4 mean? I see BRI1, BRI3 and BRI4 for some ROMs, does that have something to do with which version of the device I have?

BRI4, its just the latest release basically.
Can check in settings>about>software to see your version and work from there

Android 12 personal build

If somebody wanna to try my personal build of phh treble A12 with 01/05/22 security patch let me know and we figure out how to share. Keep in mind I don’t use Telegram .
Some info:
it's made with mind for regular use of device as phone not fancy or gaming machine.
Sms,calls,voip calls,navigation priority for me.Very slim rom!
I’m not put here some warning – you already understand all risk when using custom roms! Right? If not what are you doing here!
In short - phh aosp gsi and all credits to him and team.
Tested and adjusted for Nord10 5G BE86AA ATT provider, vendors 11.02 and 11.03, not rooted unlocked bootloaders.
Runs already w/o trouble over 2 mnts on 2 phones.
English only (no localization), diff keyboard layouts works,su, rw system, MicroG with sig spoofing, bromite webview,patched Captive portal (read here),
Cloudflare dns,dev option enabled, soft display option.
Removed useless overlays for phone, fixed voip call sound,ims, prefered network 5G enable, media sound over BT works.
Voip calls tested on Signal,Wire and WhatsUp with domestic and oversea calls.
My bank app working fine,gMaps works (but I’m using Magic Earth),fingerprint,otg-usb,Bluetooth in 2 cars,bluetooth to my pc.
I left pph treble app in case.
Many small changes, some hard coded some in build.props
I don’t use any google stuff or g Pay ,Amazon pay or any other pays so don’t know would it work or not. If you need it get something like pe and enjoy google+aftermarket s**t.
Only Foss apps
You need Calendar,Calculator,Messenger if you don’t like Signal (preinstalled) and good Music app.
I’m personally using Signal,Wire and Element, my wife Signal,Whatsup,security camera apps w/o trouble. Some apks not upstream versions.
I'm old school Linux guy - don't fix if it works is my philosophy. But on rw system you easily can rm and install what ever you like or update from Fdroid.

Interested

Its only for OnePlus Nord N10 5G (BE2026/BE2029 - codename - billie)
download SYSTEM IMG and copy img to folder GSI-FLASHER and rename it to
system.img, then fastboot and run flash-device.bat (need unlocked bootloader of course)

I'm sorry I am really confused about the right method coming from a samsung device where the procedure was quite different. Dont I need vbmeta.img or something? Inside the file the installation method is as below:
unlock bootloader,no root needed.
Tested on android 11.02/11.03 vendor, not sure about 10
RW version.
from terminal:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash system nord-S-RW.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Enjoy!
Some times take upto 5 min to boot,
if not try restart again
Which method do I use?

If you have BE2026/BE2029 then all is inside my zip....
Only copy system.img into GSI-FLASHER and start flash-device.bat
(with unlocked bootloader and phone booted in fastboot - volume down + up + power)
thats all

Question How to allow VoLTE/VoWIFI on my P6P in non-supported country?

I am really interested in using my P6P which is sitting for months in my drawer, because I am unable to use VoLTE/VoWIFI in my country (Slovakia). This is crucial to me and to my work. I don't care that much about 5G as coverage is big enough.
I have been reading some articles and threads, but I don't have the crucial questions answered, so I will give it a try here:
1. Do I need to root device to enable the two options I am asking in first place?
2. If I will root it, will I be able to use the Company Portal, Gpay and banking apps?
3. Can I update new versions of Android when my phone is rooted? I assume it would have to be done via sideload not via OTA.
4. Can anyone point me to proper thread which will lead me through the process in achieving all this successfuly?
Thank you.

There's a custom with custom avb key (this means you can relock bootloader after Rom install) that has VoLTE tweak enabled for unsupported country within the Rom. 5G is also tweaked to be enabled.
And after that, future update is via sideloading in recovery mode, no need to re-unlock bootloader
Go check out the Rom in telegram here https://t.me/hentaiOSRaviole

That seems like custom ROM - I am not really interested in that. I prefer it as stock as possible.

I only found this.But it's only for Chinese ISP(and it works fine for me) . It's a magisk module which modify mbn_sw.txt to enable VoLTE for Chinese Operators .
GitHub - CHN-MuXin/MagiskModuleEnableChinaForVoTELtoPIxel: This module will modify mbn_sw.txt to enable VoLTE for Chinese Operators . Theoretical support for all Pixel models and Android versions

Yup. Custom ROM but no additional features like other custom ROM. Their aim is just to improve the stock ROM.
