Themes / Apps / Mods [mod/magisk/root] VoLTE enabler

[foobar66]

I had already posted this somewhere inside a thread but many people still keep asking the same question.
Attached is a simple Magisk module to enable VoLTE if it is not enabled for your country/carrier.

I don't guarantee that it will work for everybody ... it did work for me though ...

Of course you must be rooted and have Magisk.

Just install attached module in Magisk, then reboot.

The mod has properties for 5G and VoWifi ... BUT absolutely no guarantee here!!!
I do not have 5G and I do not have VoWIFI ... so I cannot even test if these properties do anything or not.

How to check if this is working?
BEFORE installing the module, go to dialer, type *#*#4636#*#*
Select: Phone info, you will see a screen like the screenshot attached below.
Check the line called: 'VoLTE-registration', if the radio button if OFF, you do NOT have VoLTE.

Now install the module, reboot and check the same screen again. If all is well, the radio button for VoLTE-registration should now be ON.

Finally, go to the dialer, dial your voice mail. Your data icon the the statusbar should still be LTE(+)/4G(+). If that is the case you now have VoLTE.

If it does not work for you ... bad luck ... just un-install the module in Magisk.

i tested 5g is still unworkable.

Thanks ... well ... it was worth a try ;-/

Hey man, thanks for posting this.

Hmm so I have "VoLTE Provisioned" rather than "registration", which is toggled on but greyed out (like Wi-Fi Calling - which definitely does work and is supported by my UK EE carrier).

So in theory, based off these settings, perhaps VoLTE should work given the setting looks the same as WiFi Calling and is supported by my carrier, but I don't see HD calling work (this is without this module...)

After installing this module, what I did notice change in the *#*'4636*#*# menu is "Video Calling Provisoned) became toggled on, but also remained greyed out but weirdly when making a call my signal dropped to saying "3G" and "H", with no VoLTE being activated. Removing the module made calls return back to 4G calls, still with no indication of VoLTE.

Posting my experience nonetheless!

Thanks

What do mean precisely with "indication of VoLTE"? There is no icon that pops up when you have VoLTE (as opposed to for example OnePlus phones which show a "VoLTE" icon in the status bar).
HD calling is something different - AFAIK nothing to do with VoLTE.

It is normal that you cannot toggle the buttons - similar as in my case.

If during calling, your data remains on 4G then actually there was no need to install this module ;-)

In my case:
- before module installed: VoLTE registration was OFF, during calling data icon changed 4G -> H
- after module installed: VoLTE registration was ON, during calling data icon remained 4G (and I actually verified I still had same mobile internet speeds during not calling)

Ah, my presumption by "indication" was either a status bar icon or perhaps something on the dialler screen e.g. with Wifi Calling I see the WiFi icon next to the contacts name in my call history.

Wasn't aware about 4G being on and VoLTE - so that's something new!

But also upon checking my call history properly just now I see some calls actually do have not only a WiFi icon but also "HD" next to them (see attached screenshot) so indeed I perhaps didn't need this module!

I guess I've been wrongly looking out for a HD sign on the dialler screen during a call to indicate VoLTE....

Most of those properties are persistent properties. You just set them once with "setprop persist.blahblahblah whatevervalue" and they'll stick through a reboot.

There is definitely no need for a "magisk module" for this.

Only these 4 are non-persistent properties, and from what I can tell, they're all bogus.
ril.subscription.types=RUIM
ro.nubia.nr.support=1
ro.telephony.default_cdma_sub=0
ro.vendor.radio.5g=3

The "5g" ones are probably not advisable. For everything else, it would be nice to know what they actually do before trying them out.

AFAIK the HD (high definition) icon has in principle nothing to do with VoLTE (voice over LTE).
It is a voice codec with better quality as it suppresses background noise.
However, I believe (although I'm not 100% sure) that the HD codec is only avaible when you do VoLTE calls.
And it will only show if the caller also has VoLTE/HD and in certain network areas.

So technically it is possible to have non-HD-voice on VoLTE, although most of the time they will go together.
And the other way round, it is technically possible to have HD calls when you're not on VoLTE.

That is my understanding ... but I'm certainly not an expert in this and could as well be wrong ;-)

When a VoLTE UE originates a voice call from LTE, it executes the normal mobile origination procedure as defined in 3GPP TS 23.228 [5] section 5.6.2. The VoLTE UE initiates a SIP INVITE request, containing the SDP offer with IMS media capabilities as specified in GSMA PRD IR.92 [54] section 3. The SDP offer shall contain the AMR Narrowband codec, and it is recommended that the AMR Wideband codec is included to provide support for HD Voice and shall indicate that local preconditions for QoS are desired but not yet met, using the segmented status type (as defined in RFC 3312 [70]) and that the media stream is set to inactive as described in 3GPP TS 24.229 ([9]) clause 6.1.2

Nope .. Magisk uses resetprop ... when you remove the Magisk module the properties are gone, even those that were persisted. So it has nothing to do with sticking or not.

I don't care what magisk uses. It is NOT USEFUL for this.

 

[foobar66]

I don't care what magisk uses. It is NOT USEFUL for this.

If you manually set the persist property manually, it will persist after reboot.
If Magisk sets the persist property, you remove the module and reboot, then the property will be gone.
No?

 

[LLStarks]

I'm not a fan of people throwing Magisk modules at this phone and seeing what sticks. Seeing far too many threads like that.

It's not a Qualcomm phone and should stop being treated like one.

Still no volte after flashing the module

 

[fuadhdmini]

Yes. Same here. VoLTE not activated. VoLTE uses IMS, so IMS service status needs to have Registered status.

Plus EAB is also needed for continue having internet data while on normal phone call

 

[nowy57]

it works to me (VoLTE)

We need a MBN file from another vendor that is known to each if our users country if I am right?

Btw this was sent to me by @ziand

Releases · swangjang/Pixel-Redbull-Carrier-Patch

This is a Magisk module (in testing) for Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 that enables 5G for Unlisted Countries, VoLTE switches in the settings and add support for more countries/carriers. - swangjang/Pi...

Sound exactly like what we need?

In many parts of Europe, HD calling works without VoLTE but in most parts of the world, HD Calling goes hand-in-hand with VoLTE i.e the HD icon in Dialer represents if the call went through 4G or 3/2G.

In those countries, no VoLTE = no HD calling = no calls over 4G = potential inability to use data while on a call.

The Magisk module like most others just enables the props i.e. It exposes the switches and will work only if the carrier configs are on the device. Without the right configs, the module is a placeholder.

Nope. Those were only applicable for Qualcomm modem.

Pixel 6 Pro is using Samsung modem. The module is enough.

I get mine successfully activated

Can you tell me in which country you are and somehow post a proof that the module works?
If I am correct then the module basically only changes the following things in the android system?

Is there any way to read my "current values" and export them into a file (e.g. cat system.prop > backup.prop) to restore my values in case the module breaks something?
