well, if you only want improve default sound, you can stay in MM and install "equalizer" app, wich has awesome characteristics, like bass boost, surround sound, sound amplifier and presets with auto-detect chance. I have it and works like a charm.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
Is it just called equalizer? And also, I use V4A for the more advanced features, mainly IRS sampling.

Try marshmallow, audio quality is unbelievable in it. I don't what chip is inside lg spirit but sound is superb no doubt. Also it's way faster and overall performance will beat your expectations i think. remember Lollipop is one of the worst Android Os.

I've been on MM since it came out. Now, while the DAC might be better than average, the playback and/or DSP simply suck, no matter how I listen to music. Just INSTALLING v4a made a tremendous difference.

LG Spirit GPS Fix

Hello,

First of all, excuse me for my english.

I have fixed my GPS for my LG Spirit H440N. If don't know, this is a common problem to LG's users.

I just watched one video and one guide :

1) This helped me to see where connectors are GPS specifically for LG spirit (not the exactly cellphone, but the places are the same) . There are 3 connectors, with 2 pins each.

As I am a new user I cant post the link, but search in youtube: LG G3 Cobertura fix

From the user: Haun Fan

This man solved in another way , which is lifting the pins with pliers .

I found it very risky , so I choose another solution (2)

2) This guide shows how to open the cellphone and how to place small pieces of foil (aliminuim paper) in the connectors . ( 6 Total pieces )

As I am a new user I cant post the link, but search in google: Phone GPS repair site:instructables

The guide's cellphone only has 2 pins , do the same for the other 4

Be very patient to place the foil

Make sure to bend the aluminum pieces to have a relevant thickness to make contact

Once you have finished, download the app "GPS Essentials" and select: Sattelites, just go outdoors, and start rotating your phone. It took me like 20 seconds to find my position.

Pd: I dont know if it is neccesary, but in Settings > Location I have set Only GPS to make sure that it is working.

Also I would like to put some pictures to prove it works , but again, I cant post links

The site is Imgur, and add /a/sY4G8 to the link

The last time a tried v44a I couldn't manage to make it work (Older device), do you know if it's better than dolby atmos?! I'm quite satisfied with Dolby but without root It just cannot be installed, that's the main reason i don't move on to MM,tell me does v4a require root?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] walterfuster:
yes, it requires root from the start, cause it should be flashed.

I was using llama and sometimes I got a message saying that the app was unable to write log

after that I lose the ability to write on SD

Is there anyone else having trouble with adoptive storage?

I uninstalled llama, but now I don't know if the problem is the SD card or adoptive storage!!!

Try tightening those 3 screws at the bottom of the phone first. If that doesnt work then go for inserting foil or paper or whatever.

Also i wanted to say, i bended a little bit the contact pins, you will see the pins when you open the phone, i bend it with a needle :))

But something the gps found only 2 sattelites and need to restart the app to find a good signal... this is sure a bad antenna because my brother have a samsung core prime(same 410 cpu) and look at this

[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] bender_007:
If you are rooted just extract recovery from kdz and flash via dd or flashify
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Korelev:
Hi man, I'm trying to do something similar since I have a spare h440n board for testing but when I merge the system bins the output file size is 2.76gb and FlashFire is unable to flash a file so large (partition for flashing is 2.4gb) so I was wondering how did you manage to flash it that time, any clue?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] 69PerTTu69:
Hey, I kept thinking about what your trying to do... Is it possible to do what this same thing but instead of adding root, add other program as system? Like, Xposed or Dolby Atmos? Or the security checks the whole system integrity before flashing it?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Korelev:
I'm not sure if it's possible but since I have that spare h440 board and I don't care if it gets bricked i'm willing to give it a try.

That app (flashfire) allows you to flash zip files, ota's, .img's, etc. Along with some other options which includes keep root permissions by injecting supersu while flashing (which is done by the app itself). The difference is that I do not want to modify any system files as brainnotfound tried (and supposedly the reason it didn't work), but the problem I found is that the .img file I created by using the polish mm rom uses 2.7gb while the maximum amount of free space in our device for flashing is 2.4gb so the operation fails, but he managed to solve that problem somehow (which is why I am asking).

Now, I don't know how does the "injection" function works so I can't tell if we can replace supersu for something like xposed or that other app, I do believe the security checks the whole system but if we're lucky enough maybe system apps can be added without making the phone think there's a problem during verification.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] 69PerTTu69:
So you are just trying to create an stock .img file to flash it with flashfire and let the program itself root the phone?

Why don't you try flashing a systemless root with flashfire (LP with Kingroot) and then after removing Kingroot, update with the .kdz and LGUP? At least I think this is a safer approach and according to the LgUP threat there shouldn't be any data loss so perhaps I'll survive.

PS:Remember that systemless root doesn't survive factory resets!
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Korelev:
Thought about that but I couldn't find any kdz to just update (If these exist) from LL nor any OTA to try the same. Do you know where I can found any of these? I'd catch the OTA myself but since local carriers here in Argentina didn't roll out the MM update it's impossible for me to do it
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] 69PerTTu69:
Sorry, I'm another Argento :D But I think they never really roll it out by OTA, only kdz. Wish I could help you more

Hi everyone, 4 months ago I owned a Xperia z2, and I gave my LG H440n to my dad, It was on v10k and three days ago my dad gave it to me again, now the screen is cracked and stuck in LG logo, I can go to download mode without any problem, I plug the USB cable and it goes to the charging screen and stays there until I unplug the cable, I put it in download mode and the computer recognizes, everything seems to be ok but it doesn't boot up, I press the pwr key and it vibrates and shows LG Logo, but after 3 or 4 secons the screen turns off and then shows LG Logo again, and it keeps rebooting and I have to take battery out to get it off. I have tried to flash many lollipop kdz successfully but then it won't turn on. Now I don't know what to do. Help me guys!! Please!

[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] sotoLOTO-:
'A better camera' is by FAR the best one I've found for Lollipop! I went thru .... quite many. 15 or so of the so-called best cam apps out there. Nothing comes close to 'A better camera'.

Did you both tried Snap Camera HDR? For me it was fine camera app for Spirit back in LP days. And now it is my main shooter on current phone (still waiting for Samsung Galaxy S7 edge to get in my hands from boss).
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] sotoLOTO-:
I tried A Better Camera; Camera FV-5; Cameringo [screenlock if closed&reopened on app]; Footej [screenlock if closed&reopened on app]; HD Camera Pro v1.9.2; Snap Camera HDR [bad storage]; as well as a bunch of other apps. As I said, 'A better camera' is the best for me. Has manual controls of everything, filters and almost everything the other apps have + doesn't cause a screenlock and unlike the other apps it allows and remembers pics to be saved on extSD (even after reboot) and remembers the MP and jpeg quality I want for my pics (even after reboot). No app other than 'A better ...' did all that for me. This is not to say they are bad ... Cameringo and Snap are definitely good but caused issues for me.

Stock cam does not allow anything, at least on LP, dunno about MM but doubt it. Exposure control, ISO control, filters, etc ... just to name a few things that do make a difference. Some of the apps I mentioned provide that and none as consistently as 'A better camera' app, though it is a bit sluggish but stable nuff.

Started testing it out and seems ok for now. Hasn't failed me yet. 'Open Camera' and 'A Better Camera' are my go-to cameras for now. Open is even slightly snappier. Thanks for mentioning it.

[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] sotoLOTO-:
Sounds like the digitizer or the lcd have gone bananas. In my case I destroyed my digitizer and had to change it. Was easy enough to find it on ebay. If you don't wanna glue and unglue the digitizer then you can find on ebay the whole thing, i.e. the whole digitizer assembly + lcd + frame around it so you basically swap out that part and you're good to go. Back then when I did it there was almost no price difference btwn the whole assembly and the digitizer only. Tbh, might have even been cheaper (and clearly easier) to go with the whole assembly cos only purchasing the digitizer implies that you'd also have to either have or buy things like double-sided tape and some good glue. Purchasing the whole assembly eliminates this need. PM if you need more precise info.

Hey, do you still have that spare brickable phone?! There's a very risky method to flash modified system.img on LG phone on Download Mode, they are currently using it on G4 Sprint phone (with locked bootloader). They use this method to extract the sistem.img with adb and then modified it.

It's not useful to get root, but I they are using it to make debloat versions of the stock rom with different tweaks.

PS: By the way, the flashfire idea doesn't seem to work. On MM there is only systemless root and it uses modified boot.img to work. I almost hardbricked my phone by just playing around on LP with de boot.img so as long as we have locked bootloader, root is just a fantasy :(

Seems like there is a new root exploit that could work for 6.0 called Hammerhead. I personally cant figure out if our phone is vulnerable, since Drammer doesn't seem to display the result, so if anyone else could help me look into it, we might get root.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] sotoLOTO-:
Post some more info. I couldn't find much on Hammerhead other than some games forums. And what's Drammer? Is it similar to www.xray.io? On their page xray say:

'X-Ray scans your Android device to determine whether there are vulnerabilities that remain unpatched by your carrier. The X-Ray app presents you with a list of vulnerabilities that it is able to identify and allows you to check for the presence of each vulnerability on your device.

X-Ray has detailed knowledge about a class of vulnerabilities known as “privilege escalation” vulnerabilities. Such vulnerabilities can be exploited by a malicious application

to gain root privileges

on a device and perform actions that would normally be restricted by the Android operating system'.

I just checked with xray v2.1 but it doesn't detect anything about Hammerhead but that might well be cos I'm on LP. People on MM should try scanning with xray and checking for that exploit.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] colliflower1107:

Sounds good. On LP this vulnerability is patched but good that it is not on MM. Hopefully it could be used to gain God mode.
