[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PhrostB:
I bought an lg g5 h830 on ebay today, to replace my h810. I remember when I had the h810 I had to call tmobile to get an unlock code and they said I would need to use the phone for 40 days before I could unlock it. I didn't want to do that since I prefer LineageOS (then called Cyanogenmod), so luckily I had them waive the 40 days and it took about 5 days to get an unlock code. I expect to have the same issue this time but then I realized that the tmobile unlock app is available through the play store, so perhaps I can just download it after installing LineageOS? Ideally, that's what I'd like to do. I know this is a long shot but does anyone have experience with this?

edit: looks like it only works with stock rom, thanks anyway :mad:

anyway what do G5 users recommend? stock rom or Lineage?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] nima0003:
I recommend Lineage
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PhrostB:
why is that?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] nima0003:
Faster and smoother, way way more customization, and a way cleaner look.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PhrostB:
So everything works fine then? I realize this question is probably asked a lot.. but the rom also changes on a weekly basis. I'm specifically asking about H830.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] nima0003:
Yes, camera quality is a bit lower that usual, but other than that yes!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
I recommend RR ;)

But realistically depends what you need. If you want basic fast ROM and don't need to customize everything go with LOS, if you want to customize everything and still have a really fast ROM go with RR. Only reason to use stock in my opinion is camera and you can use dual booting for that and run stock and Los / RR.

As far as the unlock app, it's the same exact thing as before when you had to wait 40 days but through an app. If it's from eBay you may as well run stock and try to request unlock from the app, good chance whoever had it was on there network for the 40 days already. If not, only way to unlock it from them is to either do prepaid for the 40 days and use app or get lucky talking to a higher up at customer support for T-Mobile. Unfortunately, you can no longer put in an unlock code with the T-MOBILE G5.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PhrostB:
I don't really care about customization (except a dark mode would be great), so I'll probably opt for Lineage. Anyway thanks for the replies I'll report back my unlocking results. :highfive:
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] obol2:
you can install substratum with black theme :D
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PhrostB:
I could.. but I know the lineage team is planning on bringing theming back somehow, so I don't mind waiting for them. They might even be integrating substratum, but I can't confirm that.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Santiagofamo:
Anyone knows why when I install this or RR OS, the setups lags and laucher restarts so many times? It's very annoying and this before didn't happenned. With Fulmics somethig similar, it says everytime that Settings has crashed, but with Fulmics I have to make a dirty install, if not. It says at boot that the data is corrupted and It reboots to TWRP
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
This does not happen when doing a clean install with any of these 3 os. I always do a clean install of LOS, RR and / or Fulmics without any problems (well LOS will boot back into twrp but the solution had been posted many times here already, also if you use dual boot and make LOS as a secondary rom it boots normally). RR has no issues on clean install with setup or issues with launcher. As far as Fulmics saying data is corrupted, don't know never had that issue. You did format data originally in twrp to remove encryption, right? Also, when saying that it says data corrupted are you referring to it stating the ext sd card is corrupted or internal data? Personally, I'd back up all your data on internal storage, go to TWRP and wipe everything, then format data then install the os and gapps. Also if you're flashing SuperSU, I recommend not using it, just use magisk (yes I know it's possible to use SuperSU, I just recommend using magisk, especially if you encounter issues).

Hi,

What about the H840 version, can somebody port the build for that model?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] obol2:
I think building for h840 is easier than a port. Maybe ask on the official lineage website??
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ToastyOnYT:
Hey! I found a battery bug that might be affecting other users. This didn't happen before the 4/18 nightly, and the rest is in the video description.

TL;DR: Battery stays at a percentage for a while, suddenly descends to zero and reboots, causing you to either lose a significant amount of battery or go to the amount of battery that the phone is registering.

LG h840

Does anyone heard something new of the LG H840 status?

It's now possible to unlock the bootloader, but is there a chance for a custom recovery?

Still having hope to use lineage os on my LG G5 SE.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
You need to be patient. Bootloader unlock was just achieved for this variant and it people have already requested if the dev can make TWRP for the h840 and LOS for the h840 as well as RS988. Hopefully a developer will have time and do this but no need to keep asking as if / when it's done it will be posted here. Hopefully you guys get to enjoy root and custom ROMs soon :)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] metalgod666:
You're right.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] andrerodr:
You just forgot fm radio and bluetooh it's way better than when I went back stock, it makes no more nasty noises now!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] shadow52:
First off, all hail the King! Many thanks to King_lilrowrow, Rashed97 for this, really fantastic. Finally my G5 just feels... right :D

I haven't noticed many bugs myself, certainly fewer than I was expecting. So far:

* Bluetooth is disabled on boot, regardless of whether or not it was enabled at shutdown. It also occasionally turns itself off.

* Occasionally WiFi will drop and reconnect.

* Casting. Before the last update (April 4 version) screen mirroring didn't work but I was able to find devices accepting casts and cast from the Youtube app. Since the latest (April 11) casting seems to be completely broken.

* Storage used/available is reported including the SD card (formatted as portable storage). Internal shared storage is reported as 168GB/183GB not xxGB/32GB. The figures for the SD card are reported correctly under Portable storage as 97GB/183GB.

Are you guys accepting donations here or on the Lineage OS site?

Cheers

My h830 had no FM radio so I can't test
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] simpz:
Two second this thanks for your work on this. It's great to have Lineage on the G5!

I have seen also seen the Bluetooth disabled on boot issue.

* I also have that call quality on bluetooth is very poor (this is on a car kit). But music playback quality seems okay on this same car kit.

I managed to fix my other issue of the MAC address changing at each boot by adding a

cur_etheraddr=00:90:4d:15:e1:1d

to /data/misc/wifi/config file (there was an empty dir there I just removed that). Also chmod 644 this file.

Maybe this is a security feature on Lineage or the fix is well known (I found on this forum somewhere)?

Personally I'd like to change the MAC address on demand.

Anyone know of a good app to do this with CM14 with the G5?

All the ones I have tried change the MAC but don't allow the WiFi then to connect after the change.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
This has nothing to do with LOS. This occurs on stock as well and cm 13 and 14 and LOS. I wrote a guide on how to fix it located here awhile back:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/how-to/guide-fix-wifi-mac-address-changing-t3533841

After talking with autoprime, I found out that it had do with wiping the misc partition during rooting. When stuck in TWRP boot loop and running those 2 commands in TWRP to get out of it, you wipe your whole misc partition and delete your wifi MAC address. Hence, if you read done if the TWRP boot loop threads I try to recommend the single command instead of the 2 commands as it shouldn't wipe your whole misc partition. Anyways, if you want to change on demand simply edit that file and reboot, sorry not sure about an app to do it.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] simpz:
Thanks for the explanation. It would be nice to change to a new MAC without a reboot, for WiFi networks that give access for a limited period of time.

One more issue (maybe known about or expected at the moment):

* If you try to encrypt the phone, you briefly get the green android but then it just reboots without encryption. Strange....
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
I don't believe it's possible to encrypt the phone while on LOS / LOS based ROMs. If you need encryption, you'll probably need to stick to stock. Maybe at some point encryption will actually work, but not sure.

VOLTE

I've been keeping up with this thread for quite some time. But I haven't heard anyone else having issues with VOLTE. Or is it something that everyone knew not to bring up?

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DookieDuster:
I know it was an April fools joke about it getting to work soon. But has VOLTE ever worked on previous versions that kinglilrorow worked on extensively? I thought that it was something the LOS team overlooked recently. It just surprises me that people complained about Bluetooth not working more than VOLTE missing. Also, this feature was never labeled under "NOT WORKING". Which is why I'm troubled I guess.

Glad to see you all are still thriving as a great community!

After lots of work (main job and working on my own ROM base) I'm finally back for as long as I possibly can be.

I received my LG G6 a couple of days ago thanks to a mate of mine and also got hold of a Galaxy S8+ for heavy testing of my new ROM base "SquiffyOS" if you haven't heard about it before.

As stated a while back SquiffyOS will launch first on the LG G5 AND G6 phones then others major flagships to follow. SquiffyOS is nearly ready for it's alpha testing phase so keep an eye out!

(Also I have a new Github page, link is in my XDA signature)

Hope you all have been well!

I tried this again with the latest nightly 2017-04-25, but holding volume down + power button, releasing and pushing power button againg when logo appears goes into the original "Factory data reset" on a white screen. I don't want to reset my data, so I exited with "no". This does not fix TWRP boot loop. Don't you get the "Factory data reset" recovery using volume down + power button on start?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
As long as you have TWRP installed, selecting yes when it asks for factory data reset just will boot into TWRP. This is just how LG phones are, or at least have been since the G2. Also, if your booting into TWRP with TWRP bootlooop, just go to advanced, terminal and type the following command:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=256 count=1 conv=notrunc

This will get you out of TWRP bootlooop.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] King_lilrowrow:
If it's true that the H840 does not have official TWRP etc then there is no reason to start working on it yet as it won't get official LOS status.

Hi everybody,

I've been using the rom / the phone for a couple of days now, and somehow several things seem to be rather annoying about the h850. I hope you have some ideas /suggestions

- fist of all : is there a working fm-radio app? Or on any other non stock rom?

-second : I am not able to power down the device. It would simply reboot when I try. The only way is via the recovery, but that is ridiculous.

-third: is it really necessary to install the superuser after every update to regain root?

- fourth: will the internal update feature be working any time soon? The twrp boot loop is a quite unpleasant "feature". All in all, twrp and lineage seem not to be best friends for now.

BUG:

I've set the configuration for WLAN to sleep if not connected to power.

Within latest two weekly snapshots it takes very long to reconnect to my network at work. At home it does not reconnect to my SSID after waking up. Looking at the WLAN SSID list I recognize that my SSID (and some other) are not detected anymore after waking up - that's why it doesn't reconnect to my SSID. I can switch WLAN off and on again and all WLAN SSIDs are found again and my device is reconnecting automatically.

So there has to be a bug in WLAN when set to sleep mode. Can anybody confirm this?
