Flashing to stock ROM - Lenovo K8 Note Questions & Answers

I have recently purchased a Lenovo K8 Note and have discovered that the normal software does not support Wifi calling even though my carrier supports it (my previous phone worked great!). I assume this is something that Lenovo decided to exclude from their official releases.
If I flash to the Oreo stock ROM mentioned in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k8...p-flashable-stock-oreo-rom-lenovo-k8-t3809572
will that give me a pure vanilla Android ROM with no Lenovo tweaks (i.e. Android as shipped by Google without any modifications)?
If not, can somebody tell me if that ROM has WiFi calling enabled? It should show a button under "WiFi preferences" under "Network & Internet > Wi-Fi" menu if enabled.

custom rom with wifi call option

Hi all,
As I have almost no mobile network where I live, I use the "wifi call" option of my Galaxy A3 2017 with an SFR rom (France) to make calls thanks to my wifi connection from my box.
I wanted to know if with a rom like lineage 16, crdroid 6, resurection 3.2.1, Hrom j6, I would still be able to make wifi calls thanks to this native option which is in the phone settings menu?
To be more precise, I am not talking about making wifi calls through applications like whatsapp or other.
A big thank you for your help
If I do not have answers it is because it is not possible or then I am not precise in my request!
Not really a custom rom per-se, but I know the H-rom A7 port does support WiFi calling (VoWIFI), as I use this myself. Port from the A7, debloated and updates the A320 to Pie. I have been using this for several months now with no significant issues. None of the LineageOS based ROM have VoWIFI, which seems to be most if the custom ROM for this phone. Haven't found anything else other than stock which supports VoWIFI, but happy to be corrected if there is. I am very pleased with H-Rom though, definitely would recommend it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series-2017/development/rom-h-rom-a7-port-t3940532
thank you very much for your help.
Is this rom still developed because I only see one download link!
On the other hand I do not know at all this kind of rom, except for the passage in android 9, that it is the difference with the rom stock of the a3 2017 because before I used for another smartphone, roms like lineage or crdroid and I could remove all stock applications.
Thanks again for the help

Mi5s only connect to wifi with official rom

Since I started installing unofficial roms, I can't connect to wifi with any, only with the global official one.
I have tried viperOS, LineageOS, Pixel Experience, etc ...
With no connection to wifi
But if I install the latest official global (miui_MI5SGlobal_V10.2.3.0.OAGMIXM_638b1fbbd3_8.0) or the EU (xiaomi.eu_multi_MI5S_V11.0.2.0.OAGCNXM_v11-8.0) it connects to wifi without problem, but only with these
In addition, the proximity detector does not work in any rom, in settings I have it activated, nor in the latter, and when I open the hidden menu of xiaomi, not even the proximity sensor option appears, it seems as if it did not have it.
Is there any way to configure it?
Thank you

Minimalist ROM with microG support advice?

Dear all LG G7 users, I would like to create this thread to discuss about ways of using LG G7 with all the basic features working and without Google Apps and Services.
I have a EU G7 with latest firmware and updates (Android 10) This is what I am looking for:
Working USB Tethering Hotspot and WiFi hotspot
Working Gcam
Working Bank Apps
Working microG
Good GPS signal
AOD - Always On Display (if possible)
DT2W - Double Tap to Wake (if possible)
I see there are a few ROMs like LineageOS 18.1, Dot 5, and others. But I am unsure of which one offers the stability I am looking for (not customization). It is ok to use Android 10.
I have downloaded the file from LG to unlock my bootloader, so I am ready my goal is to get rid of Google, and I am aware that with stock rom, even if I like it, it is not possible.
Thanks in advance for everyone who will join the discussion.

I thought custom ROMs based on Android 11 did not have USB tethering. So not even Android 10 based custom ROMs have it? That's strange that a paid app like PDANET allows USB tethering

Because the app itself allow it through their own method. its not using android's implementation. And no, not even android 10 roms have it working on g7
Hi there, I am still here, trying to find a way of minimizing the Google impact in the stock ROM.
Could someone please update me if a custom rom has USB tethering working? And if the answer is still a big NO, is there a way to debloat or degoogle the stock rom via unlocking bootloader and root? Ideally I would love to replace Play Services with microG, or at least remove Play Services while keeping the phone booting. Any advices are appreciated.
EDIT: seems like this is a viable option for me, anyone tried? : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-degoogle-any-device-and-install-microg.4058743/
For other searching here: I just installed AOSPK from Emanuel (telegram group) and it is Android 12 based. Here USB-Tethering works out of the box and the ROM does support signature spoofing so microg can be used right away.

Question Getting wi-fi calling to work

I have enabled wi-fi calling on the phone (5G version). The feature is enabled with the mobile operator. However, it does not work. The operator blames Xiaomi and claims that they have not fully implemented this feature on this specific model.
Can someone confirm or deny that this feature is not working with Android supplied by Xiaomi?
If indeed the operator is correct and Xiaomi is to blame with not implementing wi-fi calling, will I be able to activate it by installing an 'independent' Android OS?
Thanks
Don't start another thread, just ask directly in the custom ROM thread.

Before installing custom ROM, I would like to verify that the MIUI of Xiaomi does not indeed support wi-fi calling.
Poco F3 with Wifi Calling is working properly here. I can make and receive calls in Airplane mode with WiFi enabled. Your mobile operator should have this phone added to its "supported" devices list.

Question Network Signal Guru on Nameless

Network Signal Guru is a cool tool, but its Advanced Mode has only worked on a couple of ROMs I've tried. It works on OOS and Lineage for me. On crDroid and Nameless, it says "Adapted base-band and driver is installed: No compatible devices were detected." I don't use crDroid anymore, but I'd like to have this fixed on Nameless. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Would love to have NSG Advanced Mode working (no, I don't care about band locking, just want the extra info it provides).
Hi maybe you get better help in the nameless Rom thread?
Maybe. I ended up switching back to Lineage and I forgot about this thread. I'm not sure if it's possible to close it, but I don't need this anymore.
How to access this mode I'm using nameless
Guys help anyone very please. After using the program at some point configured so that I can not call and receive calls, only sms, and the only solution - volte, which also flies off, and works when selected in the phone settings NR/LTE/CDMA/EvDo (it flies constantly).
Contacted the operators, sent me to hell saying the phone does not support (xiaomi Poco f3)?
Or should I move to other specific thread?
