[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Justatechie:
Its just one small detail that was left out and apparently they (lineage) contacted all maintainers who have incomplete instructions 2 weeks prior to this. As soon as it gets resolved our devices will get weeklies again.

In the meantime, I thought it would be nice to push out these ordinary builds myself just for those who are waiting.

Changelog can be found on their site under our device.

Thank you very much for the reply, and thanks for the builds. I hope the maintainers have it sorted out soon so we can get back to weekly officials. :)

Works great thanks :)

LineageOS support suspended for LG G5

Just in case someone wonders of no updates

Seems it's missing some wiki info and namely install_method

For what I can say it might be heimdall the method however I will not take the responsibility of it (it's Rashed the maintainer)

:'( RIP?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
Since I would like builds to be resumed, if the wiki entry isn't done by the end of next week, I'll have a go. (Too busy until then.)

Best wishes,

Bob
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] gwolfu:
not really

there is active development over Gerrit however since missing install_method info from wiki, they suspended the build queue for LG G5 both T-mobile and International variant

suspended ≠ dropped
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mofeywalker:
I added the missing info to the wiki and the change was accepted. h850 should soon be added to the build roster again. For h830 I submitted the changes, but they have to be approved :)

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Justatechie:
Update 6/13

It's pretty certain that this would be the last unofficial build before lineage officially starts to roll out weeklies for our devices again. (at least for h850 but am pretty sure for h830 too)

Main takeaways:

Security Patch has been updated to the latest. (June)

Lots of fixes and improvements are also made as well.

If you want the complete list of changes made on lineage please check here.

Disclaimer: As always flash at your own risk since it is an unofficial build. Clean Flash is highly recommended if you are coming from an official lineage build.

Thanks for helping us out. I hope 830 gets confirmed soon :D
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Deltachrome:
Issues with bluetooth audio seem to be fixed in this build. Thanks a lot! :)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Chiko-HH:
Sounds cool,how is the video record / saving with this build - works ?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Deltachrome:
Seems like the stock camera app is still unable to save videos. Although, saving recorded videos with any other app (e.g. Snapchat) is working fine.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] gismo2004:
You mean Bluetooth mic is working for you?

Can't find anything related to that in changelog?!

Cheers
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Deltachrome:
I just did a quick test using the stock recording app and it seems to work without problems. (using SteelSeries Siberia 840 as testing headset)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PhrostB:
The h850 build says: Bruno Martins Change has been successfully merged by Bruno Martins Jun 13 4:11 PM

but the h830 build says: Bruno Martins Removed Code-Review-2 by Bruno Martins <bgcngm@gmail.com> Jun 13 5:41 PM

I wonder what happened?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Miustone:
Known Bugs for Me on the G5:

-Charging does not work when Phone is Off (No booting into charging Mode) (Device gets Hot)

-Videos are not savable (No matter which Camera, Google, Open Camera, Snap, all the same)

-Hotword detection has never worked not matter of which GApps where used

-NFC drains the Battery out and isn't working (No Daydream support without NFC!) (Phone is empty in a second even in standby)

I'm really sad about the bad State of custom ROMs on our G5. My next Device will be for sure a SONY, they have rock stable AOSP, flawless working TWRP, and 99% around the World unlockable Bootloaders and the Camera does also finally fully work. I do pay much respect for the AOSP Devs here, but it doesn't help that the G5 gets older and older. Many People have already got a newer Phone and Others are just switched to another SD820 Device. I wish i could also switch. Stock is outdated already, AOSP is unstable and there is nothing that i can do about it...

Time to looks forward and to find a new Phone. The XZ Premium could be a awesome Choice, i'm pretty sure it gets Betas from SONY in the Future besides great Sources and the Camera/Display Combo is future proofed. It will get a lot of Love from many Devs, which ends in a great AOSP which keeps the Device always up to date and usable in the Future.

Just to leave My 2 Cents here. LG isn't a good Choice for AOSP, but SONY is. That's it... Never LG again :rolleyes:
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Randomuser666:
I pretty much agree with Miustone,

all together the Lineage for the G5 feels like a weird beta (vers. May.30th).

-Come on, not even being able to store videos wtf..

-My latest discovery was that, when the battery is drained (I ran out of power) and the phone gets charged, it won't boot.

you'd have to charge it for a while, unplug it, power up, and then plug in the charger.

-Other ways, all the things I was complaining some weeks ago are still not working).

-I cannot power it down (it reboots).

-FM-radio not working, or actually not existent under lineage

-the only reasonable way to get a (weekly) update is the lineage app: download the partial update,go into recovery, install the update, then immediately SU and then it's fine. If you'd update directly through the app, then root is gone and you cannot boot into trwp...unless unpluging battery etc.

-I'm not using blue tooth or NFC therefore cannot confirm the (often mentioned) issues

I guess I'd give Lineage another month or so, but if things do not improve drastically the whole ROM is rather... hmm.. limited
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] gismo2004:
As you know: it's a open source project! So feel free to take over some parts rather than crying around here?!

Obviously Rashed is having a "life" too, and does not spend time on our devices. Unfortunately he is the only developer who is able (willing) to improve things for the G5. All the other guys here (including me), are not able to help in that respect...

So if you know what asop means stop crying and start coding ;)

Cheers
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Miustone:
Interesting Way to say that! Well, i think i've never seen someone like You ever...

Unable to fix Bugs, do You start punishing the People who are complaining about it. Sounds like You're frustrated about Your Skills...!?

Maybe should You leave the Development if You're unable to get some Feedback about existing Problems (No One has Called You Name btw.). How sounds that?

Me and Randomuser666 will do for sure a better Job than You, at least will we not punish People who are unsatisfied with something... So no One will miss You...

The G5 is dead, and You're One of the Stones on the Grave... I'm out!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] onestyle007:
Mate,with all due respect,even though things you say do make sense, the development is a bit slow,come on slow down a bit with negativity. Negativity never helps. So lets focus on the positive things and let's do something,like you are doing with your projects​,like gismo is doing with his projects. :victory:

Every dev has a personal life,so if it's a one man band ,it's kinda expected development will be slow. I have at least 10 mods on my laptop just waiting for me to have more time before I work on them and publish them.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] tavocabe:
Who is this Rashed guy? Maybe someone should come up with a Super Optimized, Exclusively Enhanced, Extra Advanced ROM with all the bugs solved or at least a patch ?, you guys make it sound like it was easy. Anyway, for me LOS and LOS based ROMs work beautifully, if only video recording worked they would be perfect
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PhrostB:
I actually don't know how to code but I'd be happy to pay for a working Lineage build for my phone. You said Rashed is the maintainer for our phone right? Maybe I could pay him to fix NFC, broken hotword detection, video storage... and you know, actually getting an official weekly build for the h830?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Justatechie:
Getting a weekly build for h830 or h850 has yet to happen despite making valid changes to the instructions for the wiki page for those devices. (its up to them to add them back into the build roster but I can continue to build in the meantime)

I my self have been working on nfc towards a point it it almost completely works for h830. I been narrowing down this issue and im now thinking it's just a couple things need to be ironed down on its config. (it needs to be tested)

I thought hotword has been fixed a week ago but I hope video recording will work in the near future. You may want to try footej camera from the play store for the video recording as it has been a workaround in the past. Not perfect but it might get the job done.

As long as rashed maintains our devices we just need patience for these issues to be fixed. Contributions from anyone else are also welcome too.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Nimueh:
Video recording/saving already works, at least on the newest unofficial RR with latest LOS commits :cool: :good:

While I agree that the G5 sucks compared to some other devices when it comes to roms + support I also see that there ARE still active maintainers/devs - hell we even got the new PA.

The G5 simply isn't as popular as for instance the S4 was and less users means less devs of course. Those that are actively working on it like [MENTION=4741913]sickkside13[/MENTION] or [MENTION=7188028]jeffsga88[/MENTION] are doing a great job though and I'm confident that there'll be current rom builds for at least the next year or 2 :fingers-crossed: :)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
Honestly, the reason we don't have nearly as many devs or the amount of support for the G5 as a lot of other phones is because of LG. LG has sucked for development since the G4 pretty much. Look at the G2/3 forums and there's still tons of development because there was a way to root and flash custom ROMs on basically every variant not just one or two. With the G4, G5 and it's looking like the G6, there has only been the ability to root and flash custom ROMs on 1 or two variants, which means you get way less devs. Day for instance G5, you will only have devs that are using T-Mobile or EU version and anytime using a carrier US version or non US non EU version doesn't bother because they can't even root / flash. Then LG does stupid things like with the G5, allow bootloader unlock for the rs988 and h840 almost a year after the phone was released, by that time most people have moved on. I used to like LG with my G2 and the great development community, but with how LG has been since then, I don't see myself sticking with them either. I'll be looking for a more developer friendly phone in the future. As far as continued support for the next 1 or 2 years, I'm sure it will. I know I'll continue to provide updates with my unofficial RR builds and my SpeedyKernel at least until I have a new device and maybe even afterwards if time permits. As for the people that are complaining about issues not being fixed, again a lot has to do with LG not providing all their sources. I'm sure most should eventually be fixed, but it takes time and people need to remember that the devs do this in their spare time and have lives as well. Like gismo said before, it's open source, so maybe try and see if you can help. I personally just started my endeavor with building kernels and ROMs within the last couple months. I didn't like that there were no custom kernels for los based ROMs, so I researched how to do it and started making one, I was disappointed when [MENTION=5195210]gwolfu[/MENTION] said he would probably end support for building RR, so I researched how and started building the rom myself. I know it's not for everyone, just saying try to help instead of complaining. Sorry, rant over, lol :p

Oh and btw [MENTION=4649623]Nimueh[/MENTION] this isn't directed at you, just quoting your post since you were the last one to post :p I appreciate the ones who appreciate the work that is being done.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
I only got the LG G5 (h850) in May. It replaced my old Samsung Note II. I got it because the hardware was good for the discounted price (because it wasn't that popular), it had a removable battery, one could get it unlocked via LG (so, no playing "wack the mole"), and it had official LineageOS support.

I quite like Lineage (and Cyanogenmod). I use it on all my devices: LG G5, Note II (now a mp3 player), Note 8, Note 10.1, Nook HD (2) and Nook HD+. (When I get a new tablet, older ones get re-purposed, e.g., as a bedside radio/alarm clock..)

So, I was saddened to see the LG G5 dropped by Lineage. Perhaps it will come back. If you look at the comments when the wiki addition was accepted, you'll see that it was suggested that mofeywalker also do the wiki entries for the rest of the devices in the family. It may be that things are waiting on them to be done (in for a penny, in for a pound), or no one wants responsibility for it (for the reasons mentioned), or it could simply be that it takes time.

In any case, the functions I use all work acceptably: phone, wifi, camera, bluetooth, wifi hotspot, etc. NFC and video and bluetooth calling/microphone, I can do without. (Although I realize these are much more important for some people.) Consequently, I decided to build my own ROM. Although I've never done any Android stuff, I have been using linux for a long time (about 1993) and have done some development work with it (a long time ago). This way, I can get the security updates and non-vendor specific fixes without having to change ROMs later. And if they start working on the G5 again, all the better.

Parts of the building were easy ( follow the wiki ;) ), but some weren't. I found it impossible to get things signed with my keys if they had a password. Using my keys without a password resulted in a build, but I couldn't update the ROM without wiping data (indeed, just reinstalling the very same custom ROM over the custom ROM required wiping data). I'll have to revisit signing later. So, for the moment, I'm using the standard testkeys. Building a vanilla ROM with the standard configuration is easy. And, everything works as expected.

Since I decided to drop GAPPS at the same time as installing my custom ROM, I tried to integrate NetworkLocation (UnifiedNlp) into the custom ROM. It wouldn't build. I suspect, but am not expert enough to have much confidence in my suspicion, that this has something to do with Lineage OS using the Jack Java compiler.

So, I'm reasonably pleased with my first Android experiment, even if nothing creative was done. I need to read about signing, and figure out how to alter stuff. In particular, I would like to get UnifiedNlp into the ROM. As an aside, device only GPS gets a fix a lot faster and better now.

Best wishes,

Bob
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] cRaZy-bisCuiT:
So actually where do they state that the support got dropped again? I was just wondering why there're no more weeklies since 3 weeks. What's the reason? Can we help to bringt it back to life again?

Actually I don't feel like using LineageOS when there're no updates available. In this case I'd better stick with the bloated (but fast and stable) stock ROM. Still I'd like to get LineageOS at a later point of time if only it would become available again. Mabe with Android 8.0.0 again?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Justatechie:
This is why they removed us from the build roster: (listed towards the bottom)

https://www.lineageos.org/Changelog-11/

As we speak h830 just got its changes towards the wiki instructions accepted. (So the g5 family is good)

We might have to wait until the rest of affected devices to be fixed too but I now see no reason why we shouldn't receive our weekly builds back.

Later today I will push out newer builds of Lineage OS for those who want to keep up to date with the changes. ;)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PhrostB:
Thanks for that. I wish the G5 got more love, it's such a cool phone.. finger print scanner, microSD, IR blaster, removable batteries, modular. Really has everything I like. Are you pushing changes to the official tree? Or is this unofficial? Either way, thanks again for taking care of us :highfive:
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Justatechie:
Yea I bought this phone for those features, plus removable batteries are a dying breed.

The changes I am currently pushing would be nfc so its unofficial until It works for sure then I would send the changes in. (everything else from LOS will automatically be brought in)

When I get back home from work I will build for both devices.

By tonight new builds for lineage os will be up for both devices.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] gismo2004:
If you are about to change some stuff, push it to gerrit, and i'm sure Rashed will have a look on it!

That way it gets some more testers too

Cheers
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] obol2:
Which build of RR do you have? I can't get video recording to work :(
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Nimueh:
The unofficial from last night.

I was just repeating what [MENTION=7188028]jeffsga88[/MENTION] said about it now working, I haven't tried it since I've never used it at all :)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] obol2:
I'm on 18/6 build but it doesn't save video !?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Nimueh:
I just tried and it got saved. Had to do some searching, then I found the video at /sdcard/Pictures/Screenrecords/

So yes, it works - all good :)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
It saves video almost all of the time for me (once in awhile it decides not to save and then I just reboot and it saves again). This was with snap camera as well as open camera. But either way it is still buggy, just seems to be better than it was before (at least for me).

Edit: A temp fix that seems to work all the time (but not as good quality) is to use Footej camera from app store to do videos (it records and saves every time).
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] 4r44444:
OP can you add in starting post a list "working", "not working" and keep it actual, wo no need after every release all posts to find out ;)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] orclex:
Oh yes, that would be great!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Justatechie:
Update 6/20

Main takeaways:

I have attempted to do another trial run of fixing NFC. Regardless if it can or cannot read tags, the changes made towards NFC will eliminate any additional power draw, but its recommended to turn it off (since toggle should work fine) or even disable it if it becomes a problem. (H850 should be good, H830 might still need work)

Update: If NFC isn't working correctly for some odd reason, just grab a logcat.

This update includes fixes and improvements, especially for snapdragon camera for this one (Perhaps fixing video recording). If video recording doesn't work and it is a must have feature, I would recommend using footej camera from the play store as a work around.

If you want the complete list of changes affected for our device please check here.

Is there a reason for not pushing your findings to gerrit?

I don't get why all the Rom builders (not talking about you [MENTION=5950650]Justatechie[/MENTION]) are grapping LineageOS as a base (without it most of the roms are also gone) but don't give back stuff they have developed?! That way the device support will decrease more and more...
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Justatechie:
Great News!!

H830 and H850 are back on the build roster.

According to the schedule, we will see these official builds drop in next Tuesday.

Till then enjoy this week's unofficial build and we will be back to normal.

[MENTION=4372625]gismo2004[/MENTION]

To answer your question, I simply don't know how to submit these commits/patches through Gerrit. Idk it's because of the way I make changes but they consist of three files for NFC. If you want I could give you the files another time so you could do it yourself.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
Good news about the h(830/850)s.

Locally good news. I figured out how to get UnifiedNlp into the ROM and working, although it is still a bit of a botch job.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] 4r44444:
How is GPS Signal and Battery compared to Stock ROM/Fulmics?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
I only used stock to see that the phone booted. I used Fulmics a few days, but found that I keep getting nag messages saying that I needed to give Google Play Store various permissions. So, my data for stock based ROMs is very limited.

Without UnifiedNlp registering in the system (device only gps) in lineageos getting a fix indoors was sometime dodgy. Outdoors very quick.

Once I got UnifiedNlp up and working, with three backends, Mozilla Location Service, WiFi Location Service, and GSM Location Service, things were very zippy indoors and outdoors (formal notion of a measurement for time to location fix using osmand~). I'm probably overdoing it with the backends.

To get things automatically working after a build, I had to get rid of some files and add some files. Since they are in vendor, and that doesn't change (I think/hope), I just did it all manually.

added vendor/lge/msm8996-common/proprietary/priv-app/NetworkLocation/NetworkLocation.apk (from f-droid -- renamed from com.google.android.gms_20187.apk)

added entry for this to /vendor/lge/msm8996-common/msm8996-common-vendor.mk

removed vendor/lge/msm8996-common/proprietary/priv-app/com.qualcomm.location.apk

removed vendor/lge/msm8996-common/proprietary/etc/permissions/com.qualcomm.location.xml

removed entries for these from /vendor/lge/msm8996-common/msm8996-common-vendor.mk

After syncing and building, all was good in the output. The qualcomm files were gone, and the NetworkLocation files was there. After installing and booting, UnifiedNlp registered in the system, the backends worked, and I knew where I was. It appears that com.qualcomm.location was taking over location services, and wouldn't play nicely with UnifiedNlp. I didn't discover all of this myself, but got an idea of the problem from other threads.
