Hi,

first of all thank you for making this port. I'm excited about the idea of having a working rom to use. Extremely grateful for all your work.

When I made the switch, it became impossible to get my phone on the network. I did all of the things that I had to do while using the stock HBP firmware. Unfortunately these changes didn't work, and I still cannot get on the network.

I can only make calls over wifi, and when people call me I don't get any kind of notification so they go straight to voicemail.

Here are the changes which had to be made that didn't work on the new rom.

I followed all of your instructions and downloaded the IMS files and installed them on my system, but nothing worked.

"Here are the exact steps I took...

1 - Moved my Verizon number from an iPhone eSIM to a physical SIM from Verizon and activated in-store.

2 - Inserted the SIM into my Bigme HiBreak Pro.

3 - Dialed*##4636##*to access the "Phone Information" menu.

4 - Set "Set Preferred Network Type" to "LTE only".

5 - Rebooted my device.

6 - Dialed*##4636##*to access the "Phone Information" menu again.

7 - Confirmed that "VoLTE Provisioned" was enabled.

8 - Confirmed "IMS Registration" showed as "Registered".

Two additional notes:1 - I later tested both modes (LTE only and NR/LTE ((to allow 5G))) in an area with weak reception and both worked — but with some tradeoffs - my personal results:

LTE only: More stable connection, better battery life, lower latency

NR/LTE: Slightly faster upload speeds in my case, but a bit more battery drain

Both worked, but LTE only gave me a more consistent experience indoors

2 - In the system settings under Settings > Network > Mobile Network > Preferred Network Type, there's an option called "5G (Recommended)". Changing to this setting disabled VoLTE on my device and broke calling. I decided to leave this set to "Global", and using the ##4636## menu instead to control my network type (LTE or NR/LTE).

Hope this helps you (and others)!"
