does flashing custom rom drop any bands? - T-Mobile LG G4

I have the h811 and if I flash any custom ROM I have calling issues it don't matter if its cm or aosp.what happens is when I am at home I can make and receive calls no problems.when I leave home and it jumps towers it locks on LTE and I can have full bars but if I call out it rings for 10 seconds and hangs up with no ringing.if someone calls me it rings on there end but not mine.I still can use SMS,MMS,internet but no calls.as soon as I get back home and it jumps back on the tower calls work fine.if I use the rooted stock T-Mobile ROM the issue goes away.

Yes not all custom roms support full radio bands. If band frequencies are important to you, use stock based roms. CM based roms yet to support VoLTE for our device. Well at least for T-Mobile variant anyways.

Thank you for the answer.is there any custom roms besides the stock ones that do support all bands?

Yeah just look at each page those aren't using CM based. Usually they let you know in description page. That's it

So look at aosp based?and what exactly do i look for.sorry for the dumb questions still trying to learn all this.

For the purpose of this discussion, CM and AOSP are essentially the same. They aren't exactly, but neither is based on LG/T-Mobile stock.
Look for ones that are 20i-based, which basically narrows it down to Prometheus, Genisys, and xTreme.

[Q]AT&T which Radio to flash?

Been on xda for a while, and have gone through a few phones, but have never really had the need to flash a radio. Saw there have been updated radios recently, and figured I'd give it a go. Curious which one I should use. I'm on AT&T, but don't know if I should flash the most recent ATT or Google Edition 4.3 radio from HERE. If it matters I'm running CM 10.2 (4.3.)
Thanks!

There's a collection of flashable radios here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699
As for which one is best, you will have to experiment yourself; each user has different experiences with different radios, because it depends not only on your carrier but also location, etc.
Just make a note which version you're using now, and you can always go back if you choose.

I am aware, but I was looking from advice from an AT&T user as to which one to go with.
I've used both GE edition and AT&T's newest. I don't really see much of a difference, but my area has good lte coverage.

I've used both the most recent ATT and GE radios and I seem to find a little better reception out of the GE radios. It seems to give me about an extra bar at my house where reception isn't the greatest.

[Q] Is there any custom ROM that supports WiFi callsing with Sense 6.0?

Hi All,
I have searched these forums as well as HTC One Tmobile forums and cannot find any custom ROM with Sense 6.0 that also supports Tmobile USA WiFi calling.
if there is one, can you please point me to it.
otherwise, what is preventing porting WiFi calling into Sense 6?

The fact that it is made to only work with T-mobile software as it is closed sourced. Has T-mobile released the sense 6 update?
T-Mobile has released a sense 6 update.
Right now, the only newer rom that supports wifi-calling is InsertCoin. I believe the creator of Eragon is working on adding it to his rom though.
also, even though Android RevolutionHD says it has wifi calling in the title, it actually hasn't supported it for some time.
so right now, IC is your only choice (I'm using it now). it's a very good rom btw.

like I said, InsertCoin supports wifi calling. I'm using it now and use wifi-calling every day.
I've actually created a flashable .zip that adds wifi-calling to sense 6 roms.. works on a few I tried, but not all. I need to test a bit more when I have time.

Hi Mike, would you be willing to share the zip? I was looking for something like that I have T-Mobile but a Dev Ed phone.

Tmobile 5.1 summary

There are so many different threads right now with repeat and/or conflicting information I am trying to sort some things out. From what I've either read or experimented with first hand, anything stock image based with any of the new radios will work, but aosp roms only work with the old 5.0 radio. The one exception to this that I don't understand is euphoria and the 98r radio work on Tmo. I am able to get and make calls while on lte. I don't have anywhere near enough knowledge to understand this so I'm hoping others can chime in and explain what's going on. I haven't tried the Tmo M build and I haven't updated my bootloader and I've only used banks gappps, if any of that matters at all.
terminus rom as well(released today). i can receive calls on lte with a new radio, and volte is working. yes, im on tmobile. btw, it is an aosp issue. but we have found whats missing, so soon itll work in all aosp roms as well.
Good to know, thansk for that info. So it's just a matter of the rom devs adding something to fix it? Why is it only Tmo users affected?

Rom recommendations

So, as a maintainer for PAC-Roms I haven't ventured away from running it in quite some time. But, there are a couple issues we have that come from upstream. So, I'm looking for a rom that has working wifi calling, and doesn't have the VoLTE bug with outgoing calls all showing up as unknown. Also, as many features as possible.
I'm currently running Omni but had to use Gravity Box to somewhat get my custom features fix! Lol. So, I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Chroma is a great ROM.
Flashed the 071715 Pac nightly rom(LP mr1) yesterday and it has been working great, volte working fine. Not sure if WiFi calling works as I have VZW. Other excellent roms are Benzo, aosip and pure

I know about PAC, I'm a maintainer. And VoLTE leaves every outgoing call labeled as 'Unknown'

Firstly I recommend PureNexus by Beans...its awesome, has Layers, and I'm using Elite kernel. That's aosp based...obviously. Lol. Secondly I highly recommend Spring from Per...probably the best, most stable, clean running CM based ROM out...period. He builds his own kernel which is phenomenal and I suggest staying with his baked in one.

ROMS THAT WORK 100% for LG G2 -Verizon or other

Not sure if this has been posted or perhaps if this can start a whole thread on 100% working custom roms.
This may come off as a bit of a rant, and i am no begger nor a complainer.. but I have reach my wits end. This isnt some newb who has just been in the scene, I have been around since the G nexus and never ran into so many problem then with this phone. I am so tired of getting updates that hose roms.. or roms that need 3-4 band aides before its even usable. Rom/developers that dont even test for the phone that they are releasing for leaving us dependent on the care of the developer to take the time to fix said issues.. CAF roms that constantly lose LTE connections. NON CAF builds where we are lucky if GPS works and doesnt reboot our phones. I mean come on. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. What does it take for us to just get something that works? Does this mean we HAVE to use stock roms to achieve this or is it safe to say, with all the revisions, models, updates, that the lg g2 has been and will always be a lemon.
What is YOUR opinion on this? No one else feel the same way as I?
It just seems like enough is enough. I cant think of the last custom rom that wasnt stock based that wasnt 100% working for lg g2.
Can anyone recommend some custom roms asop or other that WORK out of the box, no special flashing, no special permission, JUST WORKS?!
Thank you for your time.
I have used Xdabebb's rom and other rom's that are based on stock rom's, they work great, while I had issues with CM/AOSP. The stock rom's are good enough for daily use.
I agree wholeheartedly. It is downright daunting, all the different roms out there and they all seem to have some sort of bug or function that doesn't work. As ECrispy said, there are some that are "good enough", I noted that you said that, rather than "great" or "perfect" or "very good". Is there a rom out there that's a bug-free, no compromise, light weight rom that's better than stock? I have my qualms with stock, but but but, everything works.
Which is the most stable stock rom? I need to reflash mine as I have been running on an old rom for about a year. Any suggestions?
I would be running the cloudy g4 stock rom, for the camera benefits and the fact that its not completely ugly like G2 stock. Except no matter how much I mess with it I cannot get all the verizon networking to function properly.
I'm on and older JackpotClavin cm build, I've been on his builds for a while
I just want awesome battery, performance, and camera without losing Android Pay

This. Right. Here.
I believe this is the issue that that caused the VS980 support to be dropped from CM. The last commit was something along the lines of "let's pull builds until someone figures out the RIL problems". I have been unable to find a CAF rom that will consistently connect to LTE like a stock based rom. I'm currently running GalacticStryder's PA build for VS980, it will keep a data connection (unlike other roms that will lose connectivity when switching from LTE>3g or wifi>LTE). Unfortunately, it doesnt like to switch back to LTE after dropping to 3g in a timely fashion.
Im currently using a g5 ported rom for g2, stock. So far, loving it.

Thanks.
I've been using CM13 for several days and one issue I had was the data not working. The automatic APN settings provided by CM upon connecting to the internet over the cell towers didn't work, so I simply deleted them all, manually input the APN values specific to my mobile provider (China Telecom) and then GSM+WCDMA as the preferred network type. You MUST know what network type and APN settings are required for your phone in order for you to get 3G or 4G data connection. The only small but minor issue is when you listen to music from the speaker, not using headphones, it's very low. Anyone who has a G2 knows that it has ****ty sound quality if you don't use headphones. On that note, WOW, the music player and equalizer on the new CM13 are amazing! This has now boosted the volume by at least 30-35% for me. The base and surround sound while using headphones is clean, crisp and clear. It blows away the sound quality using stock android 5.0.1
I can't stress that enough because I have dirt cheap headphones that now sound like they're moderately high quality because of that. As far as other bugs/issues, they're all very minor things which aren't very noticeable and don't affect the overall working condition of the phone. All-in-all I salute the CyanogenMod team for all of their efforts. Going from Android lollipop 5.0.2 with all of the bloatware apps, fast draining battery, and consistently slow performance of the phone, I can safely say I'm very satisfied with the transition.
