This maybe a dump question but is this ROM is for 20i base or 20o or it doesn't matter?
[T-Mobile LG G4] mchapa489:
I've been using based off of 20i base but haven't bothered messing with upgrading the base yet.
[T-Mobile LG G4] cjkacz:
This week's builds will feature a new default wallpaper by +Jason Townley and a themed Nexus Launcher courtesy of TeamBlackOut. Thank you all!﻿
[T-Mobile LG G4] ElfinJNoty:
May I ask, has du's navbar features been adopted by OctOS?
[T-Mobile LG G4] cjkacz:
No they have not
[T-Mobile LG G4] Android4thewin:
Yeah I really want to be on this ROM but I don't know if it will work on my 20o so I am on dirty unicorns. I really hope to switch to this as du has so many crippling bugs?
[T-Mobile LG G4] punkhawaiian:
You won't regret it this rom is soooo stable and I run alot of apps, you can't go wrong.
[T-Mobile LG G4] jt1998:
whats your opinion on the camera, and the quality of pictures taken? I've only used ROMs based off stock so curious....
[T-Mobile LG G4] punkhawaiian:
I recently had a major problem my phone gets stuck on boot at the starting app screen. I can reflash the stock 20i rom and it will boot but if i install a custom rom it gets stuck. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G4] kafepuya:
No custom ROM can use the stock camera, and no camera in any custom ROM measures up to the stock cameras
[T-Mobile LG G4] ohliu:
I upgraded from a stock rooted 20o rom without any issues. =)

This is by far the smoothest rom I've used. Thanks Team OctOS!
[T-Mobile LG G4] Robborboy:
Fantastic ROM. Nice and snappy. But I am having two issues.

1. Am I missing it or is there no wat to change AOSP keyboard to a darker theme?

2. And the most important, internet is SLOW. I am talking about 20kbps slow. Taking 10 minutes to download average apps over LTE. If I get lucky after a couple restarts I will start betting proper speed again, around 1-2mbps. But a short while later it slows back down. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G4] davbay1:
I need to temporary bypass SafetyNet, which is better for this rom unroot or suhide v0.55?

Edit: nevermind got it done
[T-Mobile LG G4] canodroid15:
So... Its been awhile. Our final Marshmallow release build is now available on our website!

OCT-M R3 final release https://www.teamoctos.com/release-builds/

Going forward we'll be working on Oct-N. I know a lot of you are still on M & curious about N & when your device will see it.With Oct-N we've moved back to an AOSP base. We're working on getting an AOSP-CAF branch so that we can bring our legacy devices up to N. This will take some time & some devices may not make the cut. We appreciate your patience as we work on bringing Oct-N to as many legacy devices as possible. Thank you all for your support, Stay tuned! ??

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zekemo:
Greetings everybody! I just purchased a refurb M8 (stupid duo cam isnt working, but I'm not here for that) and noticed the lack of forums for CM13 support. I had a rezound many many years ago and back then there was a "dont want sense, dont get an HTC" sort of mentality. Is this still true? I want to try CM13 on it and can't find a certain link to a download. Do the nighties on the CM site work for all carrier variants, and generally are there problems on the device? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jakegub:
I think the GSM phones work better with CM13. Verizon seems to always be a little difficult. I think CM13 only has one unified build.

CM13 Builds
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Whoop5:
You can use CM13 on a Verizon M8, but my experience is that you'll lose 4G LTE unless you flash CM13, flash stock recovery, then factory reset. From there you can do whatever (including reflash a custom recovery). I'm currently using a stock ROM because CM13 was too buggy.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zekemo:
Any other major problems? Thanks for the feedback
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] carm01:
According to the official Cyanogenmod site CM13 is still on nightly's

You might want to read up on any issues on their site
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mattakafred:
CM13 user here, just wanted to chime in and say I've had basically 0 issues with it on the VZW M8 over the past several months. 4G works perfectly fine, it's nice and clean, just follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightlies-htc-one-t3256696

Every few weeks someone manages to work a minor bug into the nightlies (that's why they exist), but they are usually patched next day or overcome by simply reverting a day and waiting for a quick fix.

I can neither confirm nor deny the need to flash/revert/reset for 4G because this is something I already needed to do a while back for a completely different GPE ROM, but I didn't have any 4G issues when I switched to CM. I consider it an inevitable step when initially starting down the ROM path. Just back up whatever's important and go for it :D

How to change MAC Address in my LG L7 II ? Please fast reply.

Thank you.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antonio Almeida Filho:
in my experience, it is easier to change the mac address in ROM as CyanogenMod or Paranoid Android than stock ROMs. I admit, I live doing it to circumvent the internet from my brother huehuehuehue

I do not know how things work in LG L7 II, but in L5 I go on /system/etc/firmware/wlan/volants/WCN1314_qcom_cfg.ini and the value that you should change is Intf0MacAddress = xxxxxxxxxxxx. in "xxxxxxxxxxxx" You put the mac address that you want, is not in the style xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

I not assure you it will work, but I have helped.
[Verizon LG G4] djcrystals:
I decided to sell my Verizon G4 and Iam kinda bummed in doing so. I've had a string of phones leading up to the G4 in which a locked bootloader was not an issue. I first started flahing with my Verizon Fascinate, then I had the Samsung Galaxy 3....then came the LG G3 which impressed me enough to upgrade early and snag the G4. I love the phone but HATE the lack of flashable flavors. So, I purchased the Motorola X Pure and I am looking forward to having more flashing possiblities. It has basically the same specs as the G4. This was a great phone but lesson learned. I will check back here frequently to see if any progress has been made and I wish all you other G4 good luck! Hopefully some exploits will be found to allow more freedom on this great phone but my patience has waned.
[Verizon LG G4] KennyG123:
Looks like your only options with Verizon will be to get an unlocked Nexus going forward. All Samsungs since S5 are locked, they blocked HTC M9 from HTCDev to unlock, and all the LG since this phone are locked. Verizon knows to get the big contracts they must have the most secure phone. This is not an attack on this community...it is just collateral damage. You can thank malicious hackers and identity thieves for this.
[Verizon LG G4] djcrystals:
I have always had some interest in Nexus devices but I never pursued purchasing one due to the lack of MicroSD support. I am sure I could manage without it but if I am spending a chunk of money on something I'd prefer that one luxury. The next best thing I could find was the Moto X Pure. All the freedom of a Nexus device plus a MicroSD slot. Oddly enough, I was also tempted to purchase the Nextbit Robin but I prefer a larger screen size. I played with a Galaxy 6 Edge+ phone as well. I think it's a beautiful phone but again, no MicroSD card slot and lacking the flashing freedom of unlocked devices. I am hoping I enjoy the Moto X Pure as much as I think I will. It arrives Monday and I've been reading up on how to unlock and root it. This will be my first Motorola phone since the Flip Razor.....lol.
[Verizon LG G4] Walt750:
You know the Samsung 7 has dual SD cards...at least that's what I read
[Verizon LG G4] KennyG123:
But on Verizon it will still be bootloader locked and no root.
[Verizon LG G4] zackzuse:
Don't blame ya. Guess I'm limited to paying full price for Nexus phones.
[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
Samsung is only building one version of the S7. It has all the radios. Seems like you could buy an unlocked one and use it on verizon. There was a EU G4 that worked on VZW. Although I can't imagine advanced calling and Video chat working. The Nexus 6 (Moto) was universal too.
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
Yea looking at the Verizon S6 forums, they are in the same boat. No roms or anything.

The days of custom roms and root are close to being over unless they can find some miracle break through.

Yea so unless you pay full price for international S7 that is unlockable bootloader (still no word if thats the case).

Sucks.
[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
I think people are nuts for buying a $500-800 computing device and having all sorts of bloat, advertising and tracking software installed and forced upon us.
[Verizon LG G4] handygeek7:
I have an early Samsung Galaxy Nexus (not currently activated) and the LG Vista VS-880 (that replaced it),

which I plan to sell to finance a newer model.

I'd like a Google-free phone & it looks like CM & other custom roms have passed the VS-880 by.

The LG G4 & Moto X Pure Edition appear to be affordable ($240.) used.

May both be loaded with CM (or other Google-free custom rom) in

USA/Verizon models?

I have read some posts that suggest maybe only non-USA models.

Thanks!

[Soapbox: Do phone companies so control the USA administration

that the monopolistic blocking of rooting & custom roms cannot

[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
In short, the Verizon model cannot be rom'ed. EU and tmobile ones can.
[Verizon LG G4] handygeek7:
Are there any phones in the same class, and available used around the same $240. price,

that may be rom'd in the USA on Verizon?

OR, maybe just run-out the current data contract then roll-back to a minimalist phone

& carry a small wifi-or-wait Linux or Tizen tablet?
[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
Moto developer edition phone or nexus. Otherwise you have to port a non Verizon phone in. There won't be advanced calling features in these cases.
[Verizon LG G4] handygeek7:
Thanks for the tips!

Moto Developer Edition (older tech, slower, smaller display compared to LG G4 or Moto Pure)

Moto Nexus 6 (older tech, slower, lower res display compared to LG G4 or Moto Pure)

But, both appear to be 100% root & rom-able & play nicely with Verizon. Yes?

My eyes would benefit from the better display on the LG G4 or the Moto Pure Edition.

Sure would like to have a micro-SD slot (why none on the Moto's?).

Other compromises ...

Hmmm ... change or run-out contract & downgrade ... hmmm.
[Verizon LG G4] larsdennert:
Even on stock Roms you may only get HD voice but not video chat with moto or a nexus on vzw. Check on that. Having had tons of moto phones I can tell you that the camera will be the biggest downgrade.
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
I just left the Verizon G4 because of its many issues. Most won't have problems unless you wireless charge. It burns out after a while. I went though 6 replacements and all burned out after a while. My last G4 also had wireless connection issues where it would connect, disconnect, connect, disconnect in rapid increments until a reboot was performed.

Verizon said it was a known issue, credited my $199 that I spent back in June and I applied it toward a Galaxy S 7 Edge, that also sucks. The beveled screen allows touches from your palm when holding it to type; hitting things like Send and shift at random times. Over the course of the weekend, I sent tons of half completed emails and messages. Also when holding it and enough skin is touching the screen, it stops receiving inputs when typing until you reposition. And if you are normally using it, the edges are less sensitive to prevent "palming". It mostly works but freaks out occasionally and gets more input than it can handle. Also the curve of the screen and usable space (technically the whole screen is usable) makes the screen feel narrow and confined, like a smaller screen.... hard to explain. It just felt smaller compared to the same sized G4. I didn't buy a case yet but a case should help. Screen protectors are going to be a pain too.

I called Verizon and they swapped it out for a 64gb Note 5. It's the physical same size as the G4 with hard buttons to increase screen size to 5.7" but the same physical body. So far it feels like a solid device. The SPen will probably come in handy for my work. The Note 5 feels like the G4, which is what I like.

Since Root and Unlocking is basically dead... it doesn't really matter what device you pick now. I miss the buttons on the back. Physical home button makes up for lack of Double tap to wake. I still use Action Launcher with Double tap to sleep. Wireless Charging on both the S7E and Note 5 are built in.
[Verizon LG G4] Xylotism:
This thread pretty much confirms what I've been feeling for some time now -- If I want a fully unlocked, rootable, bloat-free phone I have to go with a Nexus.

My Galaxy Nexus was a pretty great little guy back in the day, the only real problems I had with it were battery life. Hopefully newer Nexus phones are a little better there.

Maybe it's also a good idea to start looking into Google Fi.
[Verizon LG G4] XxD34THxX:
I have a Google Fi invite that I am pretty sure I can give away if anyone wants it.

As far as the International s7, they are about the same problems as we do, with Qualcomm's secure chain-of-trust and whatnot... They aren't in a better boat, not by much at any rate.

If you want the Moto Nexus 6, Costco has it for a penny on a two year contract.
[Verizon LG G4] vo_danh:
I used to love modding my phone. I have t had to with my g4. It has M. It has the latest features I want. It has great performance I don't need to push a ROM to optimize anything. Root was nice but I find I haven't really needed that either as cracked apks are available.
[Verizon LG G4] handygeek7:
Good point.

In my case I'd prefer to have Borg/SkyNet/google completely out of my phone - so a generic load won't do & Apple isn't an option either.

It's pretty pitiful that no one will make an affordable privacy-respecting phone for use in the USA.
[Android Head-Units] daviestar:
(sorry I can't post any links, but you can google the words in bold)

Are there any Android head units that support optical audio out?

I've been researching the last few nights (hours!) for a WIRED way to get a toslink optical cable to a Audison Prima AP8.9 Amp/DSP.

Are there any electrical engineers out there who have thought about bypassing the onboard DAC to get digital output?

Or.... is my only option to provide <96kHz optical audio to get an AptX lossless Bluetooth receiver like the Neet AptX lossless bluetooth receiver. Can anyone share experience on how well the Android units perform constantly connected to a BT receiver for all car audio? Esp. if you have the new Pumpkins with the Parrot BT card, in case that improves things.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] DylanHarper:
I'm looking for the same answer, i've installed the neet receiver, but unfortunate for me, the head unit does not connect. I don't think it can be used as transmitter.
[Android Head-Units] ciccimatt:
I've found this, but I don't know if it works...

http://www.matrix-digi.com/en/products/158/index.html
[Android Head-Units] MarkerB:
You all may be overthinking this. Turns out plenty of modern android devices can use standard USB audio hardware. You just need an OTG cable, and the kind of USB audio output device that doesn't need a specialized driver under Windows or Linux. I've hooked up many different USB audio dongles you my Galaxy S3 and S4. The S4 wouldn't charge while hooked through the particular OTG cable, but the S3 does. As a matter of fact, I've been using it as the media player in my car for years.

Admittedly, I've only used the optical out on some of my devices occasionally, but I imagine it would still work for most.

Update: Not all supposed "OTG" cables work. This is the one I bought in Jan 2014 that works for both audio and charging on my S3 with CyanogenMod 11: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YPYORM/
[Android Head-Units] retlaps:
Today I received an Android 6.0 Head Unit from A-Sure for an Audi A3. I connected a Terratec Aureon Dual USB DAC. I got sound, but couldn't control the volume. Changing the android system volume had no effect.

I am considering spending a couple of bucks on the app "USB Audio Player PRO" and test it again. If this doesn't work, i will have to return the unit.

Greetings from Germany
[Android Head-Units] retlaps:
So i had to return the Head Unit. I tried a different one by "Skandinav", with this one there was no sound at all from the USB DAC :(
[Android Head-Units] richard_crl032:
Hi,

You need to connect to DAC with digital volume control like Helix DSP Pro

Greetings from Singapore
[Android Head-Units] jonjonni:
yes, you can connect to the DAC, thereby outputting digital audio from applications and transport flash drive.

this can be done not only with android devices, but also with conventional tape recorder, some installations you can look at my YouTube channel

unfortunately links for new users are forbidden, you can search by my nickname - "jonjonni toslink Евгений Фещенко"
[Android Head-Units] ypocat:
Well, don't fall into this hole. (warning to new users)

I have the Prima dac/amp, and the sound is amazing, and it can be connected to an Android phone via OTG to Toslink adapter, or via Bluetooth adapter with Toslink out, but it has one very nasty issue: when the amp is starting, and there is no Toslink signal, it won't register the connection. So if you later connect your phone, you have to cycle through the input sources Digital->Aux->Master->Digital to again register your connection.

So unless you connect your phone or turn on your BT receiver _before_ you start the car up, you will need to fiddle with cycling the source (while also driving the car). (That is if you also have the optional control unit with a display.)

Why they designed the device this way is just beyond me.
[Android Head-Units] haim_gds:
I hope its all right to join an old discussion.

I have a similar problem, I want to connect an android head unit in my car to an external digital amplifier. The amplifier itself have SPDIF input (mosconi GALDEN Pico 12 channels https://mosconi-system.it/product/gladen-pico-812-dsp/) but I can't find an android head unit running Android 10 with SPDIF output for my car. I've found converting card USB->SPIDF (for example: https://www.amazon.com/Douk-Audio-C...1&keywords=usb+to+spdif&qid=1617899902&sr=8-3) but I still missing some points:

-In Android 10, how do I switch all audio outputs to the converting card? Is it a part of the Android or external application?

-What happen when playing multi channel media (such as 5.1)? does each channel transfer on each on?

-Is it possible to use the same method to BT? The Pico have an optional BT card.

Thanks in advance, Haim
[Android Head-Units] MarkerB:
Android usually automatically switches to USB audio when found, but many implementations do not. Sometimes there's a setting in the developer menu for prioritizing USB audio, but sometimes that doesn't do anything.

USB audio of any kind is not supported on my Sony X800D Android TV.

Multichannel USB sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. Certainly it can work, such as on many Android TV implementations like NVIDIA shield.

Multichannel Bluetooth is not a standard, although some implementations like enhanced aptX can support it.

Have you also considered that SPDIF surround is always encoded, and thus is output at a fixed volume? Your head unit would not be able to control the volume; it would have to be done after decoding, like at the power amplifier stage.
[Android Head-Units] dfal47:
Do you know of if it's possible to allow the headunits to play higher than 48khz resolution through the optical or coax outputs ?
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Have to ask - what
[Android Head-Units] dfal47:
The unit forces 24b 48khz audio, coaxial can output 192khz tracks and optical upto 96khz . Higher resolution audio output.
[Android Head-Units] bikeynomori:
Neutron or UAPP will allow higher resolution, but you'll probably lose Navi directions as those programs bypass the android audio layer and mixer.

Basically you need a high resolution non- Android media player, with a navi input and mixer, that also has an spdif output.

The Alpine UTX-A09 looks like it can do that, assuming it isn't Android based /doesn't force 16/48 output from all sources when the mixer is enabled (in non "Alpine Direct" mode). Looks like the Alpine pxe-x09 has a mixer, so it should also be able to mix in navigation instructions.

Some of the Helix DSPs may mix or prioritize different inputs - the documentation isn't clear.
[Android Head-Units] blackhawk:
If you use spdif connection vs optical you run the risk of creating a ground loop unless the source is floating ie running on its battery power.

You can blow out all your high frequency drivers in a second if the ground loop creates feedback oscillations.

A common ground point may or may not prevent it. Using toslink to couple eliminates this potential issue.

For car hookups best practice to use heavy gauge wire for positive* feed, preferably coming directly from the battery for high wattage amps, source auxiliary equipment from the same end point. Do not daisy chain.

Same is true with home hifi, avoid using spdif cables to couple amps, preamps, receivers, cable boxes, etc. Amps, recievers are designed to be floating and not connected to ground. Do mix earth grounded and floating equipment unless connected by toslink only ie a tower PC with a 3 prong plug and a reciever (2 prong plug, floating).

*if you use a chassis grounding point, use only one and do not daisy chain!
