FC Force Close, usually a crash

OP Original Post

Assistant is enabled a number of ways, I just do it with Aroma GApps package from OpenGApps website. You could just k stall the apps from the GPlay Store, but GApps package will install​ them into system which I prefer.

Hello all,

ive been following this thread for quite some time now (though i skipped some pages) and since a stable official Nougat update from LG seems unlikely and seems too far in the future (they confirmed but its not going to be optimized), might as well go with Lineage OS. What would be the downside of updating to Lineage? Is there a reason to stick to official 6.0 or wait for 7.0 from LG?

I've read the installation instructions but im not sure and dont want to mess things up. Havent flashed a custom rom since Samsung galaxy S1 was "the killer". Is there someone willing to help me (and others) out with a guide, something like from full stock to full Lineage? I would have done it myself but i lack the basic knowledge.

Only if someone has the time and wants to do it (dumb the instructions down a bit more). If not, its totally fine.

Download the zip(s) - which one?

Install a compatible Recovery - also here, which is a compatible one?

Thanks!

Last build 03/07 is very problematic, no sim card, no soft touch buttons. I returning to 02/28.

Getting Lineage (or other Custom Roms) is basically easy. Open Bootloader and flash TWRP (compatible Recovery) on your G4, this two steps goes via ADB - search the forum there are good instructions for you. After that you can flash Lineage or all other custom roms.

greetings

[G4 Android Development] magiQx:
Danke!

Will do some experiments over the weekend.

Dirty-flashed 03/07 over 02/28 without mentioned problems, working just fine
[G4 Android Development] ndhakara:
ok here is the problem that I switched to TWRPrecovery from advanced power menu and flashed the 03/07 rom. this flash made several problems and again I switched the recovery flashed 02/28 but the problems were there again.

I switch twrp with hard keys and flashed 03/07, now there is no problem.

So DONT SWITCH TWRP FROM ADVANCED POWER MENU!

Anyone else have broken GPS function after updating to 0307 build?
[G4 Android Development] papsr6:
Me too and in update section is enable the same version as the last to download it.

Crazy thinks.it ask me to update the same version....xa xa xa xa....

Edit...my gos connected after a long time.
[G4 Android Development] Jirrick:
My GPS is fine, according to GPS Status & Toolbox app I got fix to 8 satelites in matter of seconds I put the phone near window.

I've always rebooted to recovery from advanced reboot menu and it worked well every time. Do you have the latest TWRP (BETA-5 Build #327)?
[G4 Android Development] brossovitch:
It works in high accuracy. But i never use that. I ONLY use device only and battery saving. I have been using device only gps mode in airplane mode to navigate using Google maps for over 3 months now. And now it's wonky. Even with data active. I just wiped and reflashed firmware.
[G4 Android Development] victorioanc:
No lock screen

I have clean installed lineageos 14.1

When I am setting up a lockscreen I got the "settings app stopped error".

It doesn't matter which build I am installing.

It is a known issue? Or do I need other solution?

Lg H815

Latest lineageos
[G4 Android Development] chandler_vt:
I don't think my issue is same as yours. My issue was that I flashed the ROM with out reading the minimum requirements. I was missing an OTA update which is required for that ROM. I did resolve my issue by flashing a stock rom (With stock radio) and then applying OTA updates one by one. Try doing the same. It was a hassle and I was close to throwing away the phone and getting a new one. Since then I have stayed away from flashing a new rom. I will flash one when I am ready to put in cash for a new device in case this one fails.
[G4 Android Development] theslam08:
Got around to testing this out.

Unfortunately, it does not appear to work (VoLTE). I tried 03/07, assuming if the merge was going to be added for the fix it would be in this build.

I made a log of it, hopefully it will tell you something as to why it may not be staying on LTE during call (drops to H for me).

Also, as a control: with stock based ROM on T-Mobile I get VoLTE everywhere I live so if if it was going to work it would have.

More info: I simply flashed 03/07 -> Llama R7.2 -> OpenGapps -> Booted and realized no SU -> Flashed SU. Only installed CatLog to test.

------

Also weird, installing substratum regular ended up installing 'legacy' version which is different from the standard substratum. Not sure why.
[G4 Android Development] sejmand:
For me, everything is ok. SIM no problems...
[G4 Android Development] ndhakara:
The problem related with my flash process. There is no problem about sim card. BTW google camera app's flash is ok with 03/07.

But in high accuracy mode device warms up. I use battery save mode and tonight I ll try device only gps while running. I hope it is ok device only.
[G4 Android Development] DragonautMk:
After last update i got the problem again, for you everything is normal?

(Still crash when i try to write in google docs.)
[G4 Android Development] Surly33:
GPS Accuracy

I also have GPS issues. Gets a fix then drifts. Tried clearing A-GPS and rebooting. No change.
[G4 Android Development] brossovitch:
I only have GPS issue. I flashed stock firmware and debloated/modded the system. Still getting 5hrs SOT so I think I'll stay stock for a bit.
[G4 Android Development] XeniX_Force:
we can multi boot both using efi droid

but i dont know hiw to compile it for our mobile. search it up
[G4 Android Development] brossovitch:
I actually use Dual-Boot Patcher again. Works pretty well. This way I can switch back and fourth because I'm beginning to like stock a bit.
[G4 Android Development] XeniX_Force:
well efi is same almost except it has more potential and doesn't need any kernel

yeah we shouldn't be discussing this here
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
i think you are both talking about the same thing.

there is no efi partition on android that boots before the boot session. It's only the bootloader before the boot session.

So i think that both do the same thing. They either patch bootloader either write a command there to redirect to their app before boot.

"efi droid" is a marketing name. Its not actually efi. it's like efi and it's cleverly named like that, so that people understand immidiately what it does.

EDIT:

you saw it from here ?

[G4 Android Development] Koile:
After going back to stock in October/November last year because of the focus vs. torchlight-problem and several app-problems through root I thought, I should give this mod another shot.

Well: I'm blasted. It looks like everything is working now as it should! :) Great work guys!
[G4 Android Development] ndhakara:
Well Google Duo warms up too high, is there any1 with this issue?
[G4 Android Development] Koile:
more of a minor issue than a serious problem: I can't activate GPS-mode in the standard camera app. I don't know if it is a general problem or something on my device. H815 it is with the once-problematic laser-af.

Everything what's to do with graphics is heating the phone an draining battery... For example the game: ballz

How's the picture quality compared to the stock rom now? Stock rom quality was way better in the past...
[G4 Android Development] Tekkla:
Thx a lot. Works like a charm! :)
[G4 Android Development] :
For those of you wanting another recent update on the H811:

48 hours on the 3/7 nightly:

Camera

Holy Crap! The camera looks and runs so freaking well. Most of my testing has been on Snapchat (the most unstable camera app ever), but I have not had a crash while using it on Snapchat. The rear camera is focusing as fast as it did on stock, same with exposure. Although the stock camera app doesn't record video for some reason, this is not the case with any other camera app. I took some pictures on stock to compare them with Lineage, but unlocking my bootloader meant that my internal storage was erased :crying:

Not even the G3 has a camera working as well as this, and it's been in development for a year longer than the G4.

UI/Speed

As of now, this is not the strong suit of Lineage on the G4. UI movement and general animations are slow and stutter a lot. This is not the case on other phones I've tested (Sprint G3, Sprint Galaxy S5). The stuttering and slowness of switching through apps, pressing the navigation buttons, and clearing the multitasking list is just too much for me personally. More importantly, the double tap to wake has a 50/50 chance of working, even with the proximity sensor check disabled. Maybe (hopefully) its a different story for you guys.

Battery

I would rather not post my battery stats, since I'm using a 2 year old battery that has never been charged (thanks eBay seller). But at least the phone only discharged 2 percent overnight.

So far, I'd say give the Lineage team a month to work out some kinks, and we should have a daily driver material for all :good:

Hi all,

I am 24 hours in with this ROM (nightly) and so far I have no issues except for the video recording which is known (easy fix, use a different app. I am trying open camera) . its smooth, fast. I have not rooted yet as I will test android pay. The only reason I would need root is for an adblock unless anyone has a non root method without having an icon in the top bar.

Great ROM

Thanks
[G4 Android Development] gibbsnich:
You could​ just replace your /system/etc/hosts file with the file included in the zip I attached in TWRP. Apply the same permissions as the file had originally.

HTH :)
[G4 Android Development] mcscruff:
Worked a treat.

Thank you

Edit:

Android Pay works and I can put cards on but when I go to pay it doesn't work. As if the NFC isn't working. I tried NFC tools and that can read an NFC tag
[G4 Android Development] Retro295:
I gotta say as a daily driver this ROM is pretty great. I stuck to Lineage13 for stability sake for a while but finally made the switch. Everything works, nice and quick, Nougat is pretty, even the google restore apps and settings works now.

Thank you devs for keeping our phones alive!
[G4 Android Development] sammidrew:
I believe it's because of the unlocked bootloader.
[G4 Android Development] ndhakara:
So you tell us we can not use bank payment applications with NFC, voaw what a **** sitiuation with bootloader locker trademarks like LG and others!
[G4 Android Development] sammidrew:
Yes no way round it that i know of,unless someone knows different.
[G4 Android Development] InvalidCast:
please read my edited post, i tried to be more constructive ;)

but please keep in mind that seperate build or such things means more work for the maintener.
[G4 Android Development] macart:
unusable means unusable, it's not focusing.

[G4 Android Development] InvalidCast:
what was the distance? i will try to take a picture in the same conditions. if i can't, well, i can't. but in both cases, it with help.
[G4 Android Development] macart:
approximately 25 cm (10 in) with a focusing ring in the middle.
[G4 Android Development] InvalidCast:
i'm asking all of you (if off topic, please feel free to remove)

what are the realistic expectations when shooting text. let's say, 5mm (sorry i'm european :) ) tall text.

for a phone released last year, what is the minimum distance to see clear text?

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

now, we're talking :)

see that picture, took at 25cm (the phone can't shoxw 25cm, as it can't take 180° photos)

the text is 3mm tall

is that (approximately) the same conditions as you?
[G4 Android Development] macart:
I'm not asking to get FF camera quality out of my phone, I just want camera to focus where it's set to focus.

I posted full size picture, it's not a crop! It's the same issue with focus as in cm13 it's just not working, it's fixed at some point about 2m away and if your object is not there you can not take a sharp picture.
[G4 Android Development] InvalidCast:
i didn't say it was a crop: i'm just asking if it was the same conditions.

my goal is not to say you're wrong: i have not interest in that, why would i say that?

i'm just trying to compare two phones: if we can have one that work in some circumstances, and another that do not work in the same circumstances, that will help the maintainer

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

oh, maybe you were saying that i cropped my picture: yes, i did, to remove irrelevant parts of the picture (too personal for you to know ;) )

but even if i cropped, you know that does just not improve the picture
[G4 Android Development] polfrank:
FM Radio is not included in the not-working list. Can I assume it's working on cm14?
[G4 Android Development] neonoafs:
I installed yesterday. I'm. Really enjoying the rom. Very stable.

I just realized that the options for battery on status bar menu are not working. Is it a known bug?

Thanks
[G4 Android Development] ntelas:
Hey come on guys you are talking about focusing with camera while noone can help me! I have NO CAMERA! neither front or back, neither flashlight!

By disabling stock camera app problem has been fixed, but now i can't record video(instagram story)! photos work but when i try to take video it crashes..
[G4 Android Development] macart:
here you go, I took a picture same way you did, camera at 25cm distance. previous one was a bit closer as it turns out. you can see that the distance is closer to where the focus is but still not there.

I have no idea why for some people focus works and for others don't, in cm13 it was the same, not all were affected. I have DEU region device with serial 606***
[G4 Android Development] InvalidCast:
so, as far as i can see, we are 2 people who can discuss to solve a problem (that's not always the case here :) )

if you will, we will go on finding the differences.

1) i took my picture with a perpendicular axis. if you tell me what angle you took, i can shoot that way

2) not to bother you, and maybe that's because i have good eyes, but your picture seems clear to me (keep in min that with angle, all of your screen is not at the same distance of what is taking picture: so the focus has "to take decision")

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

please keep in mind that the focus "does what it can"

i think that the best position is perpendicular, in the middle of the thing we try to shoot.

as soon as you leave these conditions, the focus will be in difficult: a little of pythagore will show you that.

now, if in the very same conditions, stock rom, with stock camera gives you better resulsts (to be shown :) ): it's possible, but maybe it involves propriatery blobs.
[G4 Android Development] macart:
that's what I'm saying... focus is not working... it's fixed like in locked at some particular distance... it's not taking any decision. all the time camera is working you can not refocus on another point, when you try that all it does it recalculates exposure!
[G4 Android Development] FadeFx:
No, you can assume thwt it will never work on g4 aosp based roms due to missing drivers

Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
[G4 Android Development] InvalidCast:
you did not answer to my questions:

1) with what angle did you shoot with?

2) are you really sure with stock rom you had better results? (only an example would be accurate)

your last answer did not answer any of my questions, nor expose any "facts" (only emotions with "!" :) )

you are only saying "focus is not working".

well, playing this game, i'm just saying "focus is working", and i posted picture to prove it

edit: i just took pictures with my qx10, both perpendicular and with 45°, at 25cm ,with "forced" focus, text 3mm tall.

perpendicular: all text is clear

45°: not all text is clear
[G4 Android Development] macart:
this is a known issue since CM13 I don't think that any of the acrobatics you are planing will be of value to the maintainers. focusing is working on some devices and is not on other, the same as it was on CM13.

I'm not complaining about bokeh, I'm complaining about focus not being in the spot where the focus ring is put.
[G4 Android Development] InvalidCast:
what you call "acrobatics" is sometimes called "reproducing"

again, you post a picture, with absolutely no indications on the conditions... maybe my "acrobatics" are not usefull, but do you think your pictures are usefull?
[G4 Android Development] macart:
we should not be discussing this... I reported an issue, and genesixxbf3 is aware that there is an issue, and that's enough for me. If and when he decides to fix it is his business, and I will honor his decision whatever it is.

you are the one who asked for the pictures! that's why I posted them in the first place.
[G4 Android Development] InvalidCast:
ok, let's end the talk,

i just suggested you to be sure that there even was a problem, and then to help the dev to reproduce.

it's just your right to be happy with just reporting a maybe problem.

have a nice day
[G4 Android Development] genesixxbf3:
My focus works fine and for many other. Wonder if lg made change with camera hardware. I need to update the camera kernel but it will break torch tile so it won't be ever merge. I'll provide the new kernel on the op

[G4 Android Development] thewild:
AFAIK, it has nothing to do with the bootlooader unlocked state.

If you pass SafetyNet, you should be able to use Android Pay.

I think there is an NFC driver problem that causes some devices to not be able to use Android Pay even though they pass SafetyNet. Search "Lineage OS Android Pay" on Google.
[G4 Android Development] sammidrew:
What I've been told NFC won't work with unlocked bootloader,android pay install fine but you can't use it,
[G4 Android Development] thewild:
I always thought that Android Pays' security was 100% SafetyNet based.

All the references I can find about Android Pay and unlocked bootloader are in fact SafetyNet failures (i.e. Google added Bootloader check to SafetyNet in October 2016). I don't understand why such an additional level of security would be in Android Pay and not in SafetyNet, but of course I can be wrong.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
at least until the end of this year we will have official stock nougat. Lineage will finally be able to fix the camera and i will start using this phone again.

it's good that i didn't sell it. If i sold it and then learned the news about nougat, i'd go nuts.
[G4 Android Development] :
I thought Andorid Pay, and also Barclays mobile payments, not working on my phone (despite it being able to read NFC tags) was due to having a third party QI charging/NFC sticker installed.

Seems that it is a little more widespread than that!

I did have issues with Android Pay before unlocking my bootloader, however
[G4 Android Development] Mass13:
Any feedback on latest nightly?

I'm on the official nightly, and my GPS seems to be ok on high accuracy - I've never had problems with it.

however my volume seems to be really quiet... normally I have my headphones on half way, now it has to be up to max. I don't think I have any EQs installed (unless they are bundled with the rom)?

Phone calls & cellular data

Hello all,

I am considering unlocking my G4 and installing this ROM. On my previous phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505) i was experiencing problems with the phone calls on a CM based ROM. If i called someone they couldnt hear me and if i got called the same. Also had problems with the speed of the cellular data, was slower than it should be.

Now i searched the threat but couldnt find anything about it in 2017. Is anyone experiencing problems with making phone calls? I got the LG G4 H815 with a Dutch Carrier.

Thanks in advance!
[G4 Android Development] mcscruff:
Following on from the brief Android Pay chat. I can confirm it is nothing to do with the bootloader and is a bug in this rom.

I have just flashed a stock rom and tested (i have a contactless machine at work i can test with). And it is working 100% on stock with unlocked bootloader
[G4 Android Development] Retro295:
I had this bug in Lineage13 and it's still present in Lineage14 - empty bar indicator on LTE. All other network types work fine. H811 on tmobile

Same here. Easily noticeable when I use my car radio, 24 used to be loud as hell on Lineage13 but that's like volume 30 now on Lineage14. Maybe it has to do with bluetooth audio only? I've also noticed ID3 tagging doesn't work right - it'll display my first song on the car radio but ID3 doesn't update when I skip tracks.
