[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] h2o64:
LOLOL We need to implement a way to switch between cameras which has never been made (V10 never worked). Moreover, our camera driver relies on a homemade LG behavior to probe the sensors and LG UI frameworks which is very very complicated to backport.

With general word you can say everything ^^ the LG NFC chipset just doesn't work and we don't know why. HAL loads and then crashes, or if we customize it, the kernel driver panics.

Problem with modules is that only LG frameworks manage them with LG's own services.

Please, instead of telling me very unclear and general android facts. Just look at lg-devs github, investigate the code and send the patches to work around the issues pointed. Seeing so much negativity is really an additional bummer
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] fonix232:
I wasn't negative. I'm throwing ideas around.

As for the camera - simply init all three, ignore the LG framework **** as they had to hack the camera app to integrate more than one back camera. The same has to be made with the AOSP camera app.

HAL loading and crashing is probably because there's a missing bit between the kernel and HAL (or possibly the kernel and the actual device?). I'll look into it and try to see what happens when the stock ROM accesses NFC. It is possible that you missed one teensy library and that's causing the crash.

I'm aware of the modules being managed by the framework. It was a stupid decision by LG to not to go the usual way and use the modules as external devices.

I watch both g5devs and lg-devs repos, and I can see that for the past two weeks you for made no public progress, and that Rashed97 commited quite a few small changes (small as in code amount, not questioning the quality or the progress of these commits here).
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] h2o64:
I'm enjoying my holidays and Rashed is trying to catch up with op3. I also have a private server with tests and I never push without testing.

Moreover, we try to keep right authorship and there are some commits I picked and modified but Rashed repicked them behind. We are in continuous communication and discussion every possibilities.

The thing is, camera libraries and hal needs JAVA FW implementation to start, I can't ignore them.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mikeyinid:
The V10 didn't, and probably never would have utilized all 3 camera sensors. If that's what you're shooting for before a release for G5 we'll be waiting forever. Not being negative and not complaining, just stating the obvious. I was the first person to boot CM on my V10 so I remember how much BS it was just getting the camera not to crash. Would it be ideal to have all 3 camera sensors working, of course it would. I think just getting the camera working with one of the rear sensors would be good enough.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] :
Yea, it's weird cause cm12.1 the camera works fine, but I can't get the camera working on cm13 using the v10 mm camera blobs. I might try using the lollipop camera blobs for the v10 and see what happens. I wonder if the v10 and the g5 share the same camera sensors.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

LG made it very hard to port their devices. I can only imagine how the V20 will be. Keep up with the good work though. You and Rasheed will get it man.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] fonix232:
Look, I'm truly sorry if I'm coming off offensive. I really do not wish so, I'm just trying to communicate my ideas and thinking in the most productive manner.

I'm aware that usually the suckiest part of getting CM working on a closed-source device like the G5 is the camera. I'm not questioning your competence here, I'm just throwing around ideas, seeing if any of them sticks. You know, even with the greatest minds, there happen to be ideas that 4 might not think of, but the 5th sees it as a pretty obvious thing :)

Any ways, have fun on your holiday, and seriously, enjoy it rather than lurking on the forums! Just leave us a note that you won't be here for x days, and that's it :)

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DavidXanatos:
> I don't know.

Me needier, that's why I'm asking.

I noticed with my old phone already LG 4x HD that the supply of custom ROMs was by far not so good as with some other devices. Reading here that after 3 years the new LG phones still have troubles with that made me curious.

Now, I recently got a OP3 but the G5 was the next best contender in my choice list and if not for the widely reported GPS issues it would probably even made it to the first place as a SD card option was also a very important point.

Hence I'm interested in the G5's custom rom situation to reassure my self that giving up a SD card slot was in the end the lesser of two evils ;)

For those of you following along, HERE is where to see what's really being done. Some of you may have known that, but not all.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] MetaIIica:
i think CM will work fine when Android N coming out and CM will release N based Cyanogenmod

last year with the G4 Devs began with CM 12.1 and some issue cant fixed (Bluetooth, Single-Mic and other)

after begin to CM13 all issue was gone..

so i'm sure we get the same effect. But why not?

Gesendet von meinem LG-H850
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] :
This must be what LG did with the v10 too on MM. That makes sense why the camera worked fine in cm12.1, but not cm13.0. At one time I had the back camera working, except the viewer was upside down. I used the g4 vendor blobs as the base and replaced the camera blobs with the v10s mm camera blobs. and then used this camerawrapper commit to test it

https://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/121951/. None of this probably work for you, but maybe it might. Being the g5 don't have lollipop.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] MetaIIica:
Is any news about CM @ G5? I dont mean ETA or so i mean just the technical Part... what work, what not work and on what part you current work

just interested

EDIT: I have compiled myself (AICP), use lgdevs Repo and newest ARM64 Nanogapps

Tested Camera at first... But only frontcamera will start... But rest seems fine.

here a screenshot

And no, i will not upload rom to any server... i have this for internal use only

I really hope cm13 will come to LG g5
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mikey_sk:
its always struck my as odd that a supposedly more open os based on linux and freebsd or whatever andoid is, and you cant easily load AOSP builds like CM, DU etc. i can't understand why manufacturers dont release sources and drivers for their devices. In the computing world you can load anything on a PC/Laptop from windows to linux and the sky is yr limit and wot not.

rant over.

Some devs here in XDA are so great, that they are even capable of making their own HAL's (and I mean something as complex as a camera HAL)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] fonix232:
Of course. A HAL is after all simply just a translator. If you speak both language (in our case, HAL API and the driver's own calls), you can easily whip up a HAL that works (more or less). Problem is when the manufacturer screws around...

When you root and install TWRP on the T-Mobile G5, you have to also flash a DM-VERIFY disable. Not sure if this makes it possible to flash CM but if it does I would be happy to test it on my G5. :)

You'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge with this, I do have experience of rooting past devices and using adb, but I'm trying to understand this DM-Verity thing.

If the bootloader is unlocked, why is TWRP not possible on the G5 when the SGS7 can have it with DM-Verity?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] h2o64:
TWRP is possible with unlocked bootloader.

But there's no G5 with unlocked bootloader as of now
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] alexp999:
I thought T-Mobile was unlockable?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] h2o64:

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] h2o64:
I honestly didn't looked into it. Just look at G4 methods
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] alexp999:
Looks like I need to run the following:

fastboot getvar unlocked

Although from the G4, it will be like HTC and you have to enter a device ID to get it unlocked through their website (when they update it to include the G5).
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Locklear308:
Did LG say they would do that?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] alexp999:
On their dev site is says "Starting in 2015, LG will allow customers to unlock the bootloader for certain releases of LG smartphones.".

They did it for EU G4, so I don't see why they won't do it for G5, reading the above, it says starting in 2015, implying they intend to keep it going.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Locklear308:
Whoa awesome, if I can help somehow please feel free to reach out to me. Totally want to support this.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] :

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jinkerz9430:
I dont own the device yet, maybe in 9 month i will, sooooooo i started digging about whether the device has unlocked bootloader or not. And I have to admit that it is kind of confusing. I have seen a vast amount of answers . And many of them says that it is locked bootloader, however another big percentage says that it is unlocked bootloader at least for the tmobile model. So, someone on XDA claims that it is unlocked, whereas someone else claims that it is not unlocked. However, between the first comments i found and the second one, there is one day of difference. One was made on March 30, 2016, and the other one was made on March 31, 2016.

The one made on March 30, 2016 is this one: http://www.techtimes.com/articles/1...locked-bootloader-just-like-its-galaxy-s7.htm

The one made on March 31, 2016 is this one: http://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g5-on-t-mobile-bears-unlockable-bootloader-afterall/

I still not decided yet, I want to buy a device which doesnt required for me to buy a new screen every certain period of time just because the screen gets burnt image and at some point it dies such as AMOLED screen devices (I am talking to you "galaxy s5" lol). So, i figure "lets go with the LG G5, it looks quite good, it has everything I usually use or need, plus some extras, ANDDD the screen doesnt get burnt image" But a locked bootloader is a huge limitation for us, users who likes to customize our devices as we please. I will be back in about 9 month lol. I guess I will see by them if it was unlocked or not. Or if someone comments back i will be sooner than i expected. hahaha. Let us see the path LG have chosen to take. P.S: By the way, If i buy one is the tmobile version. Just saying.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] h2o64:
My opinion : if you are from the US don't buy one.

More review I see from this device, more disappointed I am. But I guess I'll get it anyway.

Dev update : trees and kernel finished. Just waiting from kdz..
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jinkerz9430:
So,,,, i assume that the second link which says that is unlockable is wrong then. LOL! I still have about 9 month to think about it. That's the E.T i give for my s5 screen to die on me again. I will be checking the lg g5 section every week until 2 weeks before i can buy my other phone. If i dont see any changes then i can still find another similar with no AMOLED screen, and that allows Rooting and custom roms. lol Remember, many of those reviews are from non experts in the matter. There were many reviews about xposed framework wouldnt work anymore in LP version , and look now, they found a way. and now they have overcome it and also made it work on MM version. Just an example given. So, I wouldn't trust all those bad hopeless comments that many people do sometimes. Yes, believe the experts, but do not give up hope hahahahahaa! I've followed several projects in here and while many people have lost their hope i've still got mine and somehow the dev's have managed to overcome what seemed to be impossible . To me is always 50% chances . :D :good:
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] munchy_cool:
The bootloader is unlockable on T-Mo G5, how ever LG did something different and weird. After unlocking the BL you cannot flash a custom recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".

So, in short they fooled a lot of people or they left out fastboot commands by mistake. No one knows the reason as of now.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] billydroid:
It's a modified bootlaoder by LG. So even though is "unlocked" you still can't flash anything without their sig. So...it's not unlocked and they lied.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jinkerz9430:
Which means.... It is almost as if it were locked bootloader lol. I dont really know what they gain by implementing such hard methods, or unknown methods. It is as if they were actually targeting XDA website looking for flaws to be "fixed" without any chance of developing more "issues" ( issues in this situation would be "rooting" or "creating new roms" )
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] LBensley:
Is it not possible to make the recovery look signed so the boot loader allows it to be flashed?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] paperWastage:
sign with our own custom key?

bootloader should be checking for specific keys (Signed by LG). obviously we can't get LG's key, too hard to brute force their key if they chose enough bits, and bootloader will/should reject our custom key

there were exploits (loki comes to mind) that bypass the key-verification stage in aboot. obviously it's patched by now
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] LBensley:
Surely if we had the LG default recovery image we could find out the key?

I am a bit of a beginner but just an idea
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Raymonf:
Nope. I think it's a public/private key-based system.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Pphish20:
I'd wait (in fact I am)... LG has already released a statement on its official forums stating it does plan on releasing an official unlock as it did with the g4 H815.

Btwn that and Team Code fire the H850 will be a truly spectacular device, with a respectable amount of development.

I already made the mistake of buying a Sprint branded Lg g3 and g2, and they have always been more difficult than other variants to unlock and get development for.

Never again...

My H850 is being shipped on the 19th and should arrive by the 21st; LG's statement said they would be releasing the unlock soon.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] karendar:
Where did you order your H850?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Pphish20:
EBay but a reliable vendor out of Texas, they ship to Canada and have all the colors. U just need PayPal. But H850 had all the bands one will ever need as long as they avoid CDMA networks. Here is the link:

http://m.ebay.com/itm/LG-G5-H850-32...-4GB-RAM-Silver-Titan-Gold-Pink-/191831473377

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Pphish20:
Has expansys even announced their price yet? They haven't on the USA site... But I can't imagine that they would have a fully unlocked, internationally sourced, H850 for much less than $700 USD...$718 with FedEx 2 day shipping built into the price and not having to deal with crazy exchange rates/bank fees... To me that's what I was expecting to pay and honestly I don't think it will be much lower until a bit longer after it's release.

I'm pleased thus far, this model should hold its value longer than any other variant.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] h2o64:
+ I wanna point out that the video clearly shows that the unlock method will be hacky that's why I really encourage using the international variant
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] karendar:
Expansys doesn't have price yet... But the issue with ebay sellers that don't use the global shipping program is that I'll get demolished in duties... As opposed to expansys which charges taxes, thus giving me a chance of not paying too much. Overall, international phones are expensive in Canada.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] naraik-l:
I live in Australia and preordered the H850 from Clove in the UK which seemed quite reputable and shipped internationally. The price is a lot cheaper than that eBay seller (as the VAT is removed) and you get a free pair of B&O headphones which sounded like a good enough deal to me.

Yea been communicating with him for days trying to get a straight answer about if he was selling the EU variant or not., and immediately told him I wanted a full refund since it hadn't shipped yet. So clove as far as unbranded H850 for the EU, either them or AmazonUK...

But I do really appreciate u letting me know that dude was scamming...
