I've got a few developers testing it to start with.

Once I know peoples phones are safe using the tool I'll open it up for public beta testing and send you a PM.

Cheers,

If anyone can help me get stable LOS 15.1 or a good stable 9.0 ROM like a LOS or Pixel Experience or any others that'd be greatly appreciated. I have a H830 and I am getting into rooting

non-stock app with dual camera support on Lineage 14.1 with LG G5 H850

I like the G5 for its changable battery! But Lineage doesn't ship own support for the dual camera.

(No LG Stock Camera App available - a bit referring to * - the links there are dead unfortunately)

The App CameraMX is great!

It is the only app I found that supports the standard as well as the panorama lens!

I'm running Lineage 14.1 on my LG G5 (H850) and the app seems to bring own drivers.

There are some filters to pay for (non-pushy) and the response time could probably better, but all in all it is a good, tidy app with many functions and its discovery was a real revelation to me.

I hope it can be as helpful for somebody else, just made an account only for sharing this :D

* PS: I can't post links yet, so you have to search it on your own. Hope to help you guys :)

How about ETAs on the private beta? :P

Jokes aside, I wanted to have a look at your past contributions to Lineage in general, but you don't seem to be using your public github profile...?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] King_lilrowrow:
My new tool will be fully open source once public there's no doubt about that, I intend to make it a rather universal tool for loads of device eventually but just G5/6 on launch.

My public GitHub is lacking I must say, but after releasing my tool publicly and having its source available if you wanted to contribute on a larger scale I'd be happy to let you have access to my private repositories.

Do you have an estimate of when your treble tool will be publicly available?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] King_lilrowrow:
Beta first will be either early December (hopefully) or the start of the new year and public shortly after if the beta runs smoothly.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] King_lilrowrow:
Remember I'm not making a ROM.

What I'm working on is a toolkit, my toolkit just allows for use of Generic System Images (GSI's) on the G5&G6 as well as other device support in the future.

The stability of the GSI will be down to that projects maintainers and their team of developers, if you find issues with which please kindly report them and hopefully they'll be nice back and fix them for you.

The thread will be EOL very soon and then I'll create a new thread for my toolkit.

Thanks for everyone's patience, exciting times ahead!

Treble testing

ronithrocks128@gmail.com

Hi Can you please provide me with your GSI treble enabling tool.I have been trying to install a GSI Image to LG g5 but not possible due to partition mapping.I tried to change it but I was not able to.

Can you please give me a private build.I don't have any problem if my device goes brick too.Bu I want to load Pixel Experience GSI Image to the device.

Thank you .
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Kye2000:
Not going to happen. Why would you try to load a gsi when it's not treble enabled right now
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Ronith128:
Now I know you don't know anything about treble.Treble is just a feature of separating partitions in to two(maybe more)for faster updates and to remove the device specific files from custom rom.So anyone with the knowledge to partition the device into System and Vendor could enable treble support.

And why I tried is because I wanted to.No harm in trying.Please understand that treble is not a 'enabled by oem only feature' it could be ported to any device.Many unofficial treble supported devices can be spotted on xda.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jhaedee:
I'm pretty sure Kyre2000 know's about treble. He was pointing out that treble is not yet available for the G5 or lilrowrow would have likely posted it to let us know.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Kye2000:
At which point did I show that I don't understand treble support? I've stated devices have been unofficially treble supported and neither did I say treble is an OEM only feature. Why try to load a GSI when it is clear from day one it will not work. Wait for unofficial support
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Ronith128:
I tried to load a gsi image to g5.But I was not trying to just push it.I repartitioned but it was not working.I have done this on Moto G4 Plus myself.So I have experience.I am not a developer but I have been playing with it.If you wanted to wait for support then I have no problem.I thought that you were just saying it's not possible for LG G5 to support treble.

Hi, thanks for creating this, but I guess this was a while ago and having only recent got on the LOS G G5 bandwaggon, this module wont install in the current version of Magisk Manager (v18) that I have installed. Is there any chance of getting an updated version of the module that will install?

I assume using the zip file posted by pedro1977 would potentially trip safetynet and thus I am keen to go down the Magisk route.

Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

Never mind, I did some googling, came across this: https://gitlab.com/drizzt-magisk/g5-gemini-nfc-driver I read the contents and the names matched and the commits seemed sensible as did the scripts, so I downloaded a zip and installed it via Magisk and it all worked swimmingly and now NFC appears to work on my phone. Foolish maybe, but the gamble paid off. Right, I'm off to try my apparent luck on the next hot blonde I see.

I'm a scardy cat and would prefer to use a stable ROM, so was planning to wait until LOS 15 goes stable for LG G5. I couldn't tell from the posts how close to stable LOS 15 was, what with all the talk of Treble round the corner potentially. Happy to be directed if I am being a bit of a luddite.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] nima0003:
My g5 been cracked for a year now and I can't afford to fix it but I think it's pretty stable.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Kye2000:
Stock Oreo is the most stable imo
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] shunjou:
The 15.1 branches have all but gone stale with the switch to working on 16. Any recent oreo build is as stable as it's going to get with this device. Fortunately it is about as stable as 14.1 if not improved in several ways with the exception of the IR blaster and 5GHz hotspot tether being broken. If you have H830 you can try the unofficial build I'm using that has a few kernel patches, just wipe system and flash this migration zip beforehand to make your data compatible when coming from 14.1 official.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] prupert:
Thanks for this and the other comments. I have a H850, so I presume the files to use are different?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] shunjou:
Yeah, you can try a build from the unofficial 15.1 thread, though I'd recommend running your own build instead.

Battery draining issues...

Guys, I have recently installed this custom ROM on my LG G5 and I have noticed a lot of battery draining... Whenever I am outside, I don't often use my phone but after getting home I notice how my battery drained in the background. Is this normal on this ROM?

P.S: which ROM would you guys recommend for the best battery life, because this is one of the main reasons why I have rooted. Stock had better battery life, but I'm more into AOSP. So if there is a solution, please let me know. I also have Amplify installed on my device.

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it! :)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] djlooka:
I believe the outstanding issue causing the battery draining is the broken NFC driver.

I've improved my battery life by ~10% by deleting the system app using Link2SD.

There should be a couple of old messages in this thread explaining how to do it, just search the thread.

Also worth noting, this might cause issues when upgrading via OTA (it did for me the last time - might be unrelated).
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Kye2000:
it's not broken
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] djlooka:
Can you check how much battery it drains on your phone while the NFC is switched off?

It's easy with GSam Battery Monitor; before uninstalling it (I don't use it anyway), it was draining between 10 and 15% every day on my phone.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Kye2000:
Did you flash the NFC fix?

DelNfcLgG5Los14-signed.zip is the file you've been looking for.

You'll have to re-flash it after every update

But if I were still using the G5 I'd not be on LOS 14.1 any more, it's basically done.

Try maybe the unofficial LOS 15 or some of the rooted stock ones.

I strongly assume LOS 15 is just as stable and useful as the official LOS 14.1, but of course with the new LOS 15 restrictions they cannot make it official... with those (from what I remember unsolvable) FM Radio, Bluetooth, NFC issues...

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] goosnarrggh:
Pretty soon official 14.1 is going to be permanently discontinued for ALL devices.

If the problems which prevent the G5 from qualifying for official 15.1 are truly unsolvable, and if the LOS team is unwilling to create an official deviation to their charter rules (which is theoretically possible, if the maintainer can make a good case to justify it) then it's possible that official LineageOS for the G5 may be gone forever soon.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Jolt151:
Serious question, why is it so important to have official status if it's just a distinction? Unofficial builds will still be developed with the same code as official builds, and if no one is developing for an unofficial device, then making it official will not make anyone devote any more time to it.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] nima0003:
It's really not important
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Kye2000:
I assume Lineage get all the complaints about problems with the ROM and they do not want that
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] goosnarrggh:
If the reason why it's "unofficial" is due to one or more features which don't meet one or more of the technical requirements specified in the project charter, then people who care about those features might consider it to be a very relevant distinction.

As a completely arbitrary example, I personally would have zero interest in any build that requires me to install a "patch" zip file after each and every update to work around defects that would otherwise be present within those builds for a feature that matters to me.

If the reason why it's "unofficial" is due to the peer reviewers at LineageOS rejecting the coding style or other technical decisions that were made by the people performing the unofficial builds, then I suppose it would be more difficult to decide how relevant the difference is. If the exact version of the device-specific code which is actually making it into the unofficial builds is still being hosted at LineageOS's Github repository despite its unofficial status, or at least if those unofficial changes are being published in the open at some other location, then people who understand how to analyze source code can still take a look and make sure that they are comfortable with everything that's going on.

Clearly, the GPL-licensed portion of the code (mainly the Linux kernel) *must* be published out in the open - but that still leaves quite a bit of code that is licensed under a more permissive license such as the Apache license, and the builders of "unofficial" builds of LineageOS are free to keep that code private if they wish. Personally, I would never touch any "unofficial" build of LineageOS if the portion of the codebase covered by the Apache license was being kept private.

If the unofficial builds are being undertaken by people who either cannot or choose not to track the security patches which must be applied to the device-specific portion of the open source code base (as opposed to the proprietary binary blobs which are beyond anyone's control except for the device manufacturer, and also as opposed to device-independent security patches which are automatically applied to every device built off LineageOS's source code), then that could be a serious consideration for many people. Official builds *must* track those device-specific open-source security vulnerabilities, and they will be dropped if maintainers fail to do so.

If the reason why it's "unofficial" is simply because the person or people who are doing the work to keep the builds going are simply unwilling to "officially" commit to duties as a maintainer, but all my other concerns are satisfied, then you're right, I don't think it really matters.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Jolt151:
Obviously, but that would only be relevant if official status would fix broken features, not the other way around. In other words, in order for a device to become official, work already has to be done to fix all those features. When that work is done those features are already fixed in unofficial builds, so official status is just a distinction saying that all these features work. Being unofficial is not why they're broken -- no one being able to fix them is why they're broken.

Nope, you nailed the reason in the head with the charter. The problem is not that low quality work is being done (code-wise or maintenance-wise). The problem is that *no* work is being done.

Does that make a difference? In terms of our G5's future, it means that we may never progress in fixing features and stability at least until someone else steps up. But in terms of official status, it makes no difference.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] goosnarrggh:
I see. I think you're looking at it from the perspective of realistically assessing the situation we're already in. From that perspective, the official status that we'd had up until this point is actually misleading, because of the very set of deficiencies which is currently disqualifying it from 15.1 support.

I was thinking in more of a general case: If there was a hypothetical possibility of having an official build of 15.1 or newer, and we were asked to compare that hypothetical possibility against the alternative of another build that was unofficial, I would have preferred the official build because of the assurances of quality control which accompany that status.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Dlions:
Soooo..when will the lineage 15.1 become available?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] nima0003:
Don't ask for eta please but there are already Oreo builds
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Dlions:
Im sorry but y not.....Yes I no but those that r available r not stable enough or out of date
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] goosnarrggh:
Refer back to my last couple of posts. The LineageOS project's requirements for what it takes to label a device as officially supported changed when they released 15.1 and created a project charter. With the charter, they became more strict about requiring that certain features which would have been supported in the manufacturer's stock OS must also work in LineageOS.

If those charter requirements are not met, then the device will not be granted official status, and no download links for the device will be available from the official webpage.

The efforts to-date to port LineageOS 15.1 (or newer) to the LG G5 currently has some broken features which make it ineligible for official status. Quickly scanning the last few pages of this thread, it looks like there are problems with the FM radio, with Bluetooth audio, and with NFC.

However, if you don't need those features, then the unofficial builds are probably good enough for many people's day-to-day use.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
I've been using 15.1 (self build) for some time now. I don't use NFC or FM radio, so those are no problem. It would be nice to have BT microphone, but no big deal. So, everything that I actually use (or really want) works fine and everything is reasonably stable. The only problem that I have is occasionally on boot my storage (256GB) SD card isn't recognized, requiring a reboot, and even that hasn't been a problem lately.

Since I build and sign my own, I wouldn't be using an official build, even if there were one. So, I don't worry much about builds being official or not. If 16 was available, even unofficially, and worked at least as well as 15.1, I would be happy. Actually, I would be happy if 15.1 continued to get Android security updates, as I don't see anything in 16 that I really care about.

Of course, it might be even better if the H850 were treblized (set my phone free!).

Best wishes,

Bob
