Hey iusmac, thanks for getting back on this so fast. I tried flashing the rom too as well but it still says no network detected.
I have manually tried inputting APN as well doesnt work.

Any ideas to work around? Aside from this everything is perfect already

 

[gxthelord]

Thanks got it already data working too now on LTE.

For future reference any forumers want to try.

Reflash to Nougat, unlock bootloader again, Flash Orange Fox, and follow steps above to flash rom. So far this is breathing in new life into this phone. Thanks TS.


Added:
So far found 1 issue, I tried put in MicroSD can and once I select the 2nd option(use SD as app storage) it loads till 24% and stays in bootloop till I remove the MicroSD card.
Now whenever I try put in the microsd card it will bootloop

Take the ROM "as is". It's beta for now. The ROM will get OTA updates weekly, so stay tuned.

这是我用过最好用的rom
简直不要太爽
在中国大陆 没有推送服务 程序依然可以流畅运行
现在有个问题
汉化不完全
其他几乎完美
很难想象一部6年前的手机 可以完美运行android 13
谢谢你

Call and 4g network cannot be online at the same time

Can you solve this problem

Flash both, order doesn't matter. These need to be flashed once after leaving MIUI or custom ROMs based on Android 10 or lower.
