After over a week of trying, I've come up with a solution to enable WiFi Calling (probably also VoLTE) in Fulmics ROM for LG G6 and probably G5 running any stock based ROM.
THIS GUIDE WILL ONLY WORK IF YOUR DEVICE IS ON THE LIST OF YOUR CARRIER'S VOWIFI/VOLTE SUPPORTED DEVICES AND THE SERVICE IS ENABLED THROUGH AN OTA UPDATE FOR YOUR STOCK, BRANDED ROM PROVIDED BY YOUR CARRIER!
I don't believe in magic, you shouldn't either so don't think this guide will make VoWiFi/VoLTE work on your device regardless of your carrier's support for your phone model.
Also, if your provider offers VoLTE/VoWiFi through an external app available in Play Store, don't bother reading any further.
General idea described in this guide is to tweak your rom in a way that it is recognized by your carrier as their own VoLTE/VoWiFi enabled build that has a "green light" for IMS and Xcap apns registration in your provider's VoLTE/VoWiFi service. During my attempts you make the service work on my G6 running V10t based Fulmics ROM i discovered that adding IMS and Xcap apns plus getting all the IMS and GPRI VoLTE/WoWiFi hidden menu settings right is not enough. I had everything set up right and still couldn't make a WiFi call. Then it occured to me that maybe i can't make it work because Fulmics ROM is based v10t, and my provider's VoLTE/WoWiFi enabled rom is the v10h? So i tweaked Fulmics 1.6, then 2.0 so it masks itself in front of my provider as v10h while in fact it still is v10t Fulmics ROM 2.0. And guess what... IT WORKED!!! My Carrier's IMS and Xcap apns, manually added by me to the default open-eu apn list storred in /system/etc/apns-conf.xml, got registered in the service activating WiFi Calling on my device.
How to do it step-by-step guide below
1. PREREQUISITES:
- /OP/[YOUR CARRIER'S CUST FOLDER IN XXX_XX NAME FORMAT] in your main dir /root. If you only have OPEN_EU in your /OP you must get your carrier's specific cust folder or install Fulmics over your carrier's VoLTE/VoWiFi enabled rom then the cust folder you need will appear in /OP
- build.prop file from your Carrier's VoLTE/VoWiFi enabled rom for your LG model (make sure following line is in the file: ro.lge.cupp_capss.rootdir=/OP
- /OP dicectory in your device main root directory with your carrier's VoLTE/VoWiFi enabled ROM's subfolder (XXX_XX format). OPEN-EU or
GLOBAL-COM are not the ones .
- files from your carrier's rom: /root/data/ipsec/wo_apn.conf, /root/data/ipsec/wo/apn_xcap.conf
(You can try without those 2 files if you can't get them).
2. TO DO:
!!! AT SOME POINT OF CHANGING STUFF LISTED BELOW YOU WILL GET ALOT OF FC OF VARIOUS APPS. DON'T PANIC, JIST REBOOT YOUR DEVICE AND CARRY ON WITH CHANGES !!!
- in /OP directory delete folder _COMMON if you have one
- in /OP directory create a new directory called SUPERSET and set perms to 755
- copy all content from your carrier specific folder in /OP to SUPERSET. You can also just try renaming cour carrier's folder to SUPERSET instead of creating new filder and copying stuff to it.
- edit cust_group_mapping.cfg in /OP and change whatever you have after = to GLOBAL-COM
- open cust_path_mapping.cfg in /OP and make sure you have 999999,99=/OP/SUPERSET there on the list of providers
-edit official_op_resize.cfg and add SUPERSET_SIZE=[copy size value of your carrier's folder which should also be listed in the file]
-in /OP/SUPERSET (with your carrier's files coppied) edit cust.prop and in second line in the file change whatever you have after = to SUPERSET
- edit your rom current build.prop file and copy all additional stuff (in my case it was all the Fulmics ROM part of build.prop so from #Software Version down) to the build.prop acquired from your carrier's VoLTE/VoWiFi enabled rom. Add the coppied stuff at the bottom of the list.
- add following lines at the end of stuff coppied to your carrier's build.prop from step above:
persist.sys.cust.lte_config=true
persist.lg.data.iwlan.enable=true
# Debug Options
persist.dbg.ims_volte_enable=1
persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr=1
persist.dbg.vt_avail_ovr=1
persist.dbg.wfc_avail_ovr=1
# Radio Options
persist.radio.rat_on=combine
persist.radio.data_ltd_sys_ind=1
persist.radio.data_con_rprt=1
persist.radio.calls.on.ims=1
# applying GPRI auto-commit
ro.lge.radio_gpri=1
ro.lge.amrwb_gpri=1
wlan.lge.softap5g=false
# 2015-10-12 [email protected] LGP_DATA_IWLAN [START]
persist.lg.data.iwlan=1
persist.lg.data.iwlan.ipsec.ap=1
# 2015-10-12 [email protected] LGP_DATA_IWLAN [END]
Save the build.prop file and place it over your current system default build.prop. set perms to 644
- open your device's hidden menu, go to
Field Test->GPRI VoLTE/VoWiFi->UX and tick 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 9th for WoWiFi only, all except 8th for VoLTE/VoWiFi and 1st and 2nd for VoLTE only.
- go to your apns in network settings and make sure you have all the apns needed (in my case the are: internet, mms, ims and xcap). If you don't have them, try sending settings request message to your carrier's apn service center, if that doesn't help, add the apns manually (you must find your carrier's specific manual settings on the internet). You can also edit /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file and add missing apns manually to the list in above file. To do that you must find your carrier's apns on the list first, (list order by MCC-MNC code) under your carrier's last apn enter your VoLTE/VoWiFi apns in the same way the other apns in the file are typed.
-save apns-conf.xml, go back to apn list in network settings, tap overview->restore defaults and the missing apns you added to your xml file should appear on the list in network settings.
-make sure you have all permissions right of the created/coppied/edited files and reboot your device.
When your phone boots back up to Fulmics you should have your carrier's boot animation instead of default LG one, then you should see initial boot screen with "android is setting up" for a couple of seconds, then your homescreen. When configuring of your sustem is done, open quick settings and your VoLTE and WiFi Calling tiles should appear there. Turn on what you want and test if it's working. Remember, with VoWiFi you must have both WiFi and WiFi calling ON. The easiest way to tell if WiFi Calling is active is the presence of a headphone with little WiFi icon on the status bar and other places in your dialer etc. To test, turn on airplane mode, wait till WiFi gets turned off, turn it back on in airplane mode, wait for WiFi calling icon on status bar and try to make a call with airplane mode on .
REMEMBER! This guide will will only work if your carrier verifies WiFi enabled devices by 3 conditions: 1. Device supported, 2. Apns present, 3. ROM build match (info from build.prop).
I might have forgotten about something (or not ) but will edit if or when questions start to be asked

@mrbeem tried flashing back the kdz trough lgup but in OP i found only three folders: _COMMON, lost+found and OPEN_EU, plus a lot of individual files.
Any clues? Can you specify what files the operator folder should contain? Thanks in advance!

What rom did you flash in LG UP? Was it your provider's stock ROM with WiFi Calling service enabled or was it Open EU rom? OP should contain your carrier's config files of you flash your provider's ROM. The files should be in a separate folder with your Carrier's name (for example, Vodafone Italy should have a folder in /OP named VDF_IT etc.). Carrier specific folder should contain subfolders called: config, overlay, apps, media, poweron, poweroff. Most impostant are: config and overlay. Also in /OP there should be 3 files apart from the subfolders: cust.prop, official_op_resize.cfg and except_buyercode.cfg
Pics of content of cust.prop and official_op_resize.cfg from my carrier's folder (P4P_PL)

The OPEN EU that Bridge downloads when my phone is connected, and is the same one which is referred as "Vodafone Italy" on LG Firmware.
In /OP i have these files: op_list, official_op_resize, custom_path_mapping, custo_group_mapping, client_id, buerycode, strangely are almost the same found on fulmics.
In Open_EU i've overlay and config folders, and these files: official_op_resize.cfg, except_buyercode.cfg and cust.prop.
The strange thing is that the vodafone brand remains also with the fulmics, in fact at everye clean installation i found vodafone apps and vodafone configuration before restore my lgbackup, what a mess lol

Ok so you have the everything. Just delete _COMMON filder, create SUPERSET and copy all from OPEN_EU to SUPERSET. Basicly follow the steps. Build.prop is most important part. Plus check if you have all apns needed for WiFi Calling, if not, add manually as described. It is a mess, but the key is to put that mess in an order that enables WiFi Calling. Carrier's boot animation on fulmics is a very good indication that you're on the right path to make it work. Just a small tip... Maybe start from the UI part to enable the ability to turn VoWiFi on/off and then the rest. This way you'll be able to see if or when your service becomes active. So.....
1. Copy this to your carrier's build.prop after you've coppied the Fulmics part:
persist.sys.cust.lte_config=true
persist.lg.data.iwlan.enable=true
# Debug Options
persist.dbg.ims_volte_enable=1
persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr=1
persist.dbg.vt_avail_ovr=1
persist.dbg.wfc_avail_ovr=1
# Radio Options
persist.radio.rat_on=combine
persist.radio.data_ltd_sys_ind=1
persist.radio.data_con_rprt=1
persist.radio.calls.on.ims=1
# applying GPRI auto-commit
ro.lge.radio_gpri=1
ro.lge.amrwb_gpri=1
wlan.lge.softap5g=false
# 2015-10-12 [email protected] LGP_DATA_IWLAN [START]
persist.lg.data.iwlan=1
persist.lg.data.iwlan.ipsec.ap=1
# 2015-10-12 [email protected] LGP_DATA_IWLAN [END]
2. Replace stock fulmics build.prop with the one from your carrier's rom with Fulmics part and above lines added. Check permissions and reboot.
3. Ho to hidden menu Field Test->GPRI VoLTE/VoWiFi->UX and tick all ON apart from 1, 2 and 7. Go back to main hidden menu screen and to to Service Menu->WoWiFi and change value to 1.
4 reboot and check if you have WiFi Calling QS Tile added and WiFi Calling settings enabled in call settings.

What apns do you currently have on the list?
Can you check what is your sim MCC-MNC CODE? Go to hidden menu, field test->SIM Info and check values under MCC and MNC. Is it 222 and 10??

Ok. I found apns for you. There are 3 more to add. Give me an hour or so and i will make apns-conf.xml for you. Make backup of your apn-conf.xml file and when i send you new one you will just replace your file with mine, go to settings wi
th apn list (one from screen above) and hit restore defaults .
One more thing... Can you tap on the top apn from the list to open it? Then scroll down to see apn type , take a screenshot and post it here

PM me with your email address and i will send you edited apns-conf.xml. replace your /system/etc/apns-conf.xml with the one i will send you, go to apn settings tap 3dots at the upper right corner and hit restore defaults and updated apns should come up. Don't forget to tap the empty circle on the right by your internet apn to set the top one as default. I've seen on your screenshot the circle is empty and it shouldn't be

Which ROM do you have installed?
Im using latest fulmics. And also i'm trying to create manually ELE_EE configuration. I have all information that i need from operator but not sure is it possible. Anyway i got this phone from LG baltics to do it.
The calling feature is not present in the tablet.
There is a reason there is no phone app in the system, and the only way you can call is through VoLTE and you have to check with your carrier if thats available for you.
In MIUI thread people have VoLTE calling enabled in china using their carriers, so you have to check if your carrier supports it,
If your carrier has VoLTE support but you still cant use it then:
1)Go to settings
2)go to storage
3)tap on total storage until you see a prompt
4)You can make a call by opening the configured VoLTE/video call/WLAN call option
5)Or you can use whatever app you use to make the VoLTE call and try it
Dont forget to hit the like button
MIUI blocked non-China carrier.So this way i tried,just can't enable th e volte function
enable to volte,must downgrade firmware to 9.6.4/9.6.6 version,then enable the volte fuction at "Setting"
If you can't enable volte,try to type *#*#86583#*#* at dailer apk,then it could enable the volte function
I see lots of discussion on rooting, unlocking bootloader, etc. But I am wondering if there is guide describing how to enable volte for tmobile? That is all I am looking for and I am really not savy/technical when it comes to phones. I have the dual SIM 850 emw and I really dont want to lose use of the phone when tmobile dumps 3g next month. Thank you
Found this. Sort of cryptic.
I used the dailer code on my Samsung to verify VoLTE was enabled, otherwise it doesn't show the setting or that it's even HD.
Apparently AT&T supports this device if your carrier drops the ball. Verify this though...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I now have VoLTE and Wifi Calling working on my LMG820QM (on T-mobile).
I have the BPT variant of the LMG820QM, for which VoLTE and Wifi Calling does not work. After bootloader unlocking and rooting, I tried the above VolteFix-v1 but wanted Wifi Calling. Forcing the option to appear via a profile in Universal Enabler in the hidden menu* did not work and instead caused LG IMS to continuously crash.
*For those interested in the hidden menu, first create an empty folder named "enable_ue" in internal storage. Then go to the dialer and type *#546368#*820#. In Field Test > Universal Enabler you can "Create New Config" and manually enable VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWIFI, and ViWIFI. However, even though these options became enabled in *#*#4636#*#* they didn't seem to actually work.
Next, I tried to crossflash partitions from the US Open kdz but was unable to due to a size mismatch of the OP partition (among other problems).
Finally, since I had already extracted the OP partition from the US Open kdz (G820QM20f_00_NAO_US_OP_0402.kdz), I extracted files that looked relevant and copied them over using a root browser into /product/OP. After setting permissions and restarting, I now have working VoLTE and Wifi Calling!
The files are cust.prop [update: apparently not needed; my existing one worked just fine], all the files in config, and a few folders in priv-app [update: these are the apps for Wifi Calling!] not present in my phone's kdz (not sure which ones if any of these apks are actually needed but since it works I'm not going to experiment more). See attached for details.
Note: Since these files are from the US Open kdz, it will likely only work for US carriers. But the process can be repeated for other regions with the right kdz.
UPDATE: Replaced the attachment, had the wrong files in Config.
** Noticed that upon factory resetting the wrong default APNs are inserted. Had to factory reset on original files, have APNs setup correctly, then copy the attached files (did not copy over cust.prop this time and still worked).

Hello jdapp,
I was able to get VoLTE AND VoWIFI on Mint (T-mobile) with these instructions. I also posted what I did on Post 50. The files work for firmware 20 but if you need the ones for firmware 30 let me know.
Awesome thanks. Yes if I could get the firmware 30 files that would be great.

No problem, let me know how it goes.
So I have tried to do the bootloader unlock and flash but every time I get a Download fail: Sahara Fail: Q SaharaServer Fail: Process fail?
Any thoughts?
Good news for anyone having the Wing fall Back to 3G when making a call. You can activate VoLTE using a mix of the two following guides:
Guide:-How To Activate VoLTE,ViLTE,VoWIFI&ViWIFI LG Devices-LG Velvet 5G
Hi Guys Am Baljeet From India There Is A Path To Force Enable VoLTE On The"LG Velvet 5G LM-G900" Specifically Your Version Which Is The "LM-G900". By Default This Feature Is Disabled On This Model. Follow These Steps Given Below: A). Go To The...

Lg g8x,g8,v60 Volte enable for all carriers, unlisted countries also
I will try to keep this post as small as possible. This will enable Volte for Phone ranging from Lg g8x, g8 and V60 without root or modifying the system files. Many have posted ways to get it, Iam only trying to help out the small bits missing...
forum.xda-developers.com
To make it as short as possible:
1) Create an empty directory named "enable_ue" in the root of the phone's main storage, using you prefered file explorer (like for exemple Cx Explorer or ).
2) From the LG Phone dialpad and with your SIM card inserted, type #*462633*#100# (for european LG Wing - LM-F100EMW) to get into the Hidden Menu. From there enter Field Test, then Universal Enabler -> Create New Config. Click on the four last check boxes VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWIFI and ViWIFI to enable these options. You won't be able to enter this setting if you haven't created the empty directory under point 1).
Go back to Field Test and enter Modem Setting to enable 5G if you haven't already -> RAT Selection -> SIM 1 Mode - > select GSM/WCDMA/LTE/5G or whatever you need + 5G. Go back and do the same with SIM 2 after, if you use it. Network mode in the network settings will then not show "5G prefered", but a number, like "26" in my case.
3) Go back to Field Test menu and enter IMS Stting. If you have Slot - 0 : OPEN / EU and Slot - 1 : OPEN / EU (or something else on each side of the / ), then you did everything right to this point. Exit the Hidden Menu and get your SIM out of the phone.
4) Enter th Hidden Menu again without the SIM inserted. Go back to IMS Setting and click on Slot - 0.
Under Subscriber enable IMS,ISIM & USIM.
Under Xcap\Ut. -> General, enable UT & USSD Over IMS
Under ETC, enable Check IMS Registration, Use rule-ID from responsem& Query on bootup
Under GPRI VoLTE/VoWIFi, enable VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWIFI & VIWIFI
Under Test, Preference Operator can be set as OPEN (what I did), or your carrier short name, or your County. Apparently does not make difference for some operator but some do require it to same name as theirs.
Preference Country this is important as this decides if VoLTE gets enabled, Find your country short code example USA is US , India is IN. Europe is EU. Find and try different short codes, I put EU.
Enable Support Volte AT command, VoNR, UAC Enabled & VoLTE Setting Enabled
You can now exit the Hidden Menu & insert your SIM back in. If everything went well, you should see the VoLTE icon showing up on the left of the network in the task bar, on the (my) Wing it's a small lifted phone headset with wave coming out of it. If you don't have it, check under the phone network settings - Mobile networks, if you got the VoLTE option and if it's activated. You might have to repeat some of the steps above with the SIM card inserted (as I had to) to make it work. Don't forget to check the settings for both SIMs if you use two. Not sure if all setting are kept if you reboot or reset the phone. You might have to repeat the preocess or part of it on each reboot, as for enabeling the 5G option.
Was tested on Android 12, as my phone didn't get Android 13 yet. But it's also working on my Velvet 5G that is on A13.
Many thanks to Baljeet Khairwal and johndaniel for their guides + all other persons who helped in the two threads.
