Hey Xda-Community,
I want to ask to all developers out their on Xda, why won't you guys are thinking to make or enable if available wlan monitor support on original rom or on some custom rom of our lovely Moto X

The Moto X is using a WCN3680 (atheros/qualcomm) WiFi Chipset.
Unfortunately, although an open-source driver is available it appears that even the Linux gurus haven't been successful at enabling monitor mode on this chipset yet. It is a good idea and I agree that it would be useful, but there are a VERY limited few individuals who are capable of understanding and writing drivers for qualcomm/atheros WiFi chipsets.
Here are a couple references:

Questions....
I am currently running the Brazilian Stock Moto Android 6.0 ROM and I am loving it. However, I find myself missing the VoLTE from Verizon. That got me wondering about the available ROMs for the Turbo. If I understand correctly,
- If I want Android 6, my only options are this one, Kang, and CM-based ROMs, including ComputerFreek and Bliss. And those two ARE CM-based, correct? There are no other Marshmallow ROMs with stock Moto software, right? Chop chop for flashlight, etc?
- If my assumptions are right in that first part, I should ask: which ROMs include VoLTE?
Thanks for your help!

Marshmallow ROMs (I'm too lazy to provide links because XDA's app would make it a pain, but they're basically the at the top of the Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx Android Development forum):
AOKP
CM13
RR 5.7.X
Brazilian ROM (Stock Based)
Unofficial CM 13
MoKee 6.0
Bliss 6.4
Nexus Experience (NX)
AICP (in the AOKP thread)
(I think that's all of them.) All are CM based except for my Brazilian ROM.
VoLTE:
@computerfreek274's modified stock (Lollipop)
Stock Lollipop
Currently no CM based custom ROM supports VoLTE, nor my Brazilian ROM (stock based)
Thanks!

You left off Nexus Experience.
We have 8 Marshmallow ROMs currently if we count yours. It's not really a "custom" ROM -- except you customized it to work on all Quarks! (and did a good job)
Current custom Marshmallow ROM list for Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo

None of the Quark Marshmallow ROMs at this point in time allow Verizon VoLTE.

DARN. I had an inkling I was missing one (actually 2 if I found AICP, though it doesn't have its own thread..)

Right. I left off AICP ROM because
1) it doesn't have Ambient Display (which makes it a non-starter for most), and
2) the ROM maintainer (who also has Bliss and AOKP) isn't really actively supporting it with a separate thread like the other two.
It may be an interesting "project" but without Ambient Display (or the Moto Display in your stock Marshmallow ROM) what unique feature does AICP ROM have the other 8 Marshmallow ROMs do not? (For instance the Quark Resurrection Remix and Bliss ROMs have the ability to use most Moto apps. Your own stock-based ROM can use all Moto apps by default. AICP does not have that functionality.) And if you don't like Ambient Display/Moto Display, you can just turn it off on any of those 8 ROMs; you don't need to install a ROM with that feature lacking.

@iiWoodstocK answered this, but I'm going to differentiate slightly.
There are two stock-based ROMs --
@iiWoodstocK Marshmallow Motorola ROM adapted from the XT1225 which will run on all Quarks, since he added CDMA prop lines and used custom kernel from @bhb27.
ComputerFreak274 Lollipop ROM based on Verizon's stock firmware. (Verizon has not released the XT1254 Motorola Marshmallow ROM yet, and may never do so.)
Neither of those ROMs are "CM-based". @bhb27 kernel is based on CM kernel, yes, but @iiWoodstocK's ROM is otherwise pure Motorola Marshmallow for Quark.
Currently, only ComputerFreak274 Lollipop ROM allows Verizon's VoLTE because it hews very closely to Verizon's firmware.
In another post higher up I gave a link to all the Marshmallow ROMs. No Quark Marshmallow ROM currently has Verizon VoLTE. @bhb27 (official Quark TWRP dev, Resurrection Remix & Mokee ROM maintainer, dev for several Quark apps) is still working on it, but with Verizon it's not something you just turn on and turn off -- there's also something on the carrier side that also allows it. @bhb27 is also limited in that he lives in Brazil, has an XT12225 and does not use Verizon. Somehow ComputerFreak274 ROM has it, and either he's not sharing the secret or maybe he doesn't even know why.

CF's ROM has it because his ROM is built on stock. I don't believe he had to add it in especially since one of his more recent posts he stated he's been able to port the settings for VoLTE to his WIP Marshmallow ROM, but not functioning VoLTE itself.

Then there must be some "flag" , some piece of code, in Verizon's firmware that says "this is a Verizon phone" or something. By him porting just the VoLTE settings to a Marshmallow ROM and VoLTE is not working means even he doesn't know what that "secret" piece of code is.
Back in the Microsoft DOS days when they were battling DR-DOS, Caldera who owned DR-DOS accused Microsoft of stealing DR-DOS code. (of course they did). Microsoft denied, denied, denied. Caldera file a lawsuit . In the final stage of the lawsuit, DR-DOS creator Gary Kildall had a card up his sleeve which he did not reveal until then. A demo in front of a judge. Microsoft technicians set up a custom built pristine PC with ONLY Microsoft DOS software. Microsoft oversaw all the installation and made sure no one else touched the computer.
Dr. DOS creator Gary Kildall then sat down at the "Microsoft" PC and typed in a simple keyboard command. In HUGE LETTERS a splash screen appeared which said displayed his name and copyright notice. He had hidden that in their code just for this kind of PROOF. Microsoft lawyers immediately requested a recess, followed by a generous multi-million dollar settlement offer tied to non-disclosure agreement. (No one has been able to find it since, because allegedly part of the agreement was to "license" the code and remove that notice.) Press reported $150 million, but allegedly it was actually even higher.
Part of the lawsuit also focused on anti-competitive measures from Microsoft, that Microsoft also purposely made PCs malfunction if Dr-DOS was installed, so people would thing Dr-DOS was buggy. Microsoft executive emails were found discussing this very tactic. But they weren't above STEALING code from Dr-DOS to put into Microsoft DOS. So, even though Dr-DOS was not installed on that demo PC, still the founder was able to call up a DR-DOS splash screen.
And yes, I read all this in a article years ago, which I cannot find now because maybe Microsoft lawyers are very zealous?
My point is something like that may be in Verizon firmware to allow VoLTE for Verizon devices? Some hidden code.

I wonder which Verizon devices have volte capability on custom roms. I was going to do a spreadsheet, but I haven't had time.

On various devices, I can't find any for Verizon with VoLTE that are not just stock modified ROMs.
The Nexus devices are the exception, like the Nexus 6.
My brother is getting an LG G3 VS985 for Verizon. I would love to root it and put on custom ROM like Resurrection Remix, but I can't find that VoLTE/Advanced Calling works with custom ROMs. I either get "no" or no answer when I ask the question in various forums.

Hopeful bb can find the right info from the logs that were provided. Would a huge win for those of us with Verizon as a network.
I *think* I've read Victara CM has Verizon VoLTE. Not 100% sure...

Wow, I used Dr DOS!!!!
Hello. I am thinking about going towards this device to buy. I noticed on the Moto G5 Plus page that alot of users are having VOLTE, 4G and IMEI problems when they are flashing roms.
Is this commonly a problem with the Moto G5s Plus? because having VOLTE and 4G are very important factors for me. Also, is it just for Custom Oreo roms that this is happening to, or all roms in general? Thanks!

Some do and some don't
Respected developers, we custom Rom users solely depend on you & your efforts whenever we are fooled by multi millionaire companies like Sony, Samsung... By stopping the updates for any device whenever they feel. Its you guys, who keeps the device and our hopes alive here @ xda.
Respected devs,I've a request to make on behalf of all the Indian users With this device.it has been a long time since a telecom company RELIANCE JIO,introduced voLTE in India. But among the z series devices, it's only this device which hasn't received fully functional voLTE feature. As a disadvantage, due to lack of voLTE,we have following genuine problems::
1.we can't use JIO SIM CARDS ( cheapest service provider in India)
2. If we want to use them, we have to use an app JIO4G VOICE,which needs to kept ON & FUNCTIONAL all the time, we can't even hibernate it..... Our battery juice is sucked up by this app.
3.We have to keep our MOBILE DATA -- always ON, inorder to receive calls.... Which again consumes battery.
Through this post,I would like to request each & every developer for this device to please give some amount of your valuable time in creating a zip or rom,,,by which we can have FULLY FUNCTIONAL voLTE in our device.
Any help will be a real blessing for us all.
Thanks alot.
Absolutely Agree, sad to see there isn't much support for this device, i don't live in India but i wish there were more Custom ROMs for this device, this phone has a Snapdragon 810 and Adreno 4xx series - which is better than most pre 2015 and some after 2015 phones, yet those phones have Oreo or Pie, but the Xperia Z3+/Z4 doesn't.

Devs are very few for this device @Quarx, @ olivier, @venkat kamesh and another one @machao.thats it. Out of them I don't think anyone is solely interested in z3+/z4. As their primary developments are for some other device. What we get, is just left over part of their hard work.
M-Rom and Lineage Os are only 2 currently maintained roms/threads for this device.M-Rom is not maintained by the developer himself at xda,as he @machao) updates his thread @ bbs.gfan only.
Without voLTE, we are really suffering in India as we are not able to use the cheapest simcard.

you are very much right sir,if we could have volte in our device then our device will be the perfect device for today age mobile phones.jio4g voice software take up very much battery of my phone .
3G CDMA Network Retirement

I was trying to track down a dev with HD Voice LTE aka VoLTE knowledge. Not trying to buy a new phone. I supposedly could go back to android 8. Not sure if I want to do this. Anyone have any info? Lets get this fixed/patched!
Edit: This looks to be tricky since we do not have blobs for VoLTE after Android 8. From my understanding Android 9 + needed all new blobs/proprietary drivers written for our device (e.g. android 8 blobs not compatible with 9). I'm curios to see if there is a device with similar drivers. Maybe the OG Pixel. I'll be doing more research. Feel free to comment with any ideas/suggestions/info/ideas etc. #Nexu6-4eva
Edit2: For those who need a solution. @dwardo is compiling Lineage OS 15.1 with new security patches. Lineage OS 15.1 does have VoLTE support. Honestly, all Android 8 roms should support VoLTE. Here is the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-un-official-lineageos-15-1-for-nexus-6-shamu.3773143/
Edit3: CDMA is still active through Verizon in the USA. I tested myself. Supposedly, EOL is 12/31/21.
Back in August, there was a valiant attempt to get it working. abhishek, wavedashdoc and elektroschmock made some commits that you can still find in LineageOS' repository - here is one of them:
https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_moto_shamu/+/283486
Unfortunately, it didn't work when Nolen Johnson tested it.
Maybe it is only the final piece of the puzzle that's missing. But it needs a true wizard to look at it.
