[Nexus 5X General] RusherDude:
Thanks a lot for the input! I think it can be disabled because apparently some N5 users made it, and considering that the N5 is the N5X's brother from LG, it should be doable too:

The image is from http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7753460-1-1.html , apparently a chinese site about a tool? for disabling secure boot? no idea honestly

So it probably is doable on N5X too, the question is how :(. If its a bit flip for unlock, it is probably just another value for secure boot, I wonder if adjacent to the unlock one or something like that. I'll search for lk bootloader stuff but I have not the bootloaders knowledge (or tools like IDA2 pro to get it done anyway, which sucks :() for making it anyway :(

Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 5X General] :
I definitely think it can be disabled and I found some rather interesting things by reading up on a site, where someone has actually spent time reverse engineering what's most likely a signed and compiled version of ABoot (LK Bootloader). I thought it was interesting as it covers the actual process of disassembling the image, which may expose the values that need to be changed to actually achieve a true state of disabled secureboot.

http://newandroidbook.com/Articles/aboot.html

What worries me however, is if the signature is checked upon flashing, as if that's the case then replacing the bootloader may in fact be next to impossible. I'm not all that interested to try it out either, as I simply don't want to risk ending up with a hardbricked phone as that wouldn't be all that great so to say. However, if someone is successful making a patch that really works and release it, I'll definitely give it a go after it has been comfirmed to work.
[Nexus 5X General] LazerL0rd:
Doenms't the PixelROM flash a custom bootloader?

So what's the "fastboot unlock bootloader" command for?
[Nexus 5X General] scr60:
No it doesn't.

Unlocking the bootloader is the ability to ask the bootloader it self to boot a different/custom rom.
[Nexus 5X General] LazerL0rd:
Well, actually it does. It's using the Google Pixel Bootloader. Check is files. It's a custom bootloader.
[Nexus 5X General] m4mmt:
It's not a custom bootloader, it only changes the imagdata, the graphical aspect of it that you see when the phone boots. Iit's far from being a custom bootloader
[Nexus 5X General] LazerL0rd:
Okay. Thank you for correcting me there!
[Nexus 5X General] m4mmt:
Should exist more people like you on the internet
[Nexus 5X General] manit77:
I haven't been able to find a way. Probably have to burn your own bootloader onto the emmc board.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoerme:
Hi there,

after some attemps I succesfully rooted my fire7. More than one time it happend, that my modding and flashing attemps lead into a bootloop. There was no choice than sideloading 5.3.1 Firmware and going through the whole rooting process again. (Annoying)

In the End I decided to stay with a rooted FireOs since it was the only Rom where screenmirroring worked flawlessly. Now I was wandering if there was a way to create a prerooted and modded backup img, that I can safely sideload. I think it could be possible since I'm still on the 'original' rom whixh I initially sideloaded.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
No ready-made tools as most require access to a custom recovery (eg: TWRP) for assured recovery. Next best option is the backup/recovery capability built into FlashFire. Note this requires a bootable/functional/rooted/stable ROM to pull off a comprehensive recovery. More of a checkpoint than full restore.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoerme:
so it's not possible to sideload the backupfile that flashfire created?

It's kind of annoying to go through the kingroot procedure again and again.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Correct and agree. Lucky we can do anything with this device given bootloader state.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] leyvatron:
Awesome!! Cant wait to use this.

Request: speaker mod, Google assistant, and volume up/down to skip tracks when main screen is off.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
Note to all. You will notice that the theming option is missing from the settings under home. Don't fret! Theming is still in the Rom you just need to add a shortcut for it. I'm personally using Nova Prime and assigning an activity for the theming app so it makes an app icon. There are independent apps in the store that can do this as well.

Just a heads up for those of you using themes and wondering how to apply them.

[MENTION=1325580]Tilde88[/MENTION] so a hot reboot let's you see the boot animation and I wanted to let you know it needs scaled down. It's way too large and actually is blurry because of it.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
The bootanimation is the right size, as it is the same that I use for the other models. There is something fishy with your bootloaders after doing that conversion thing. I don't fully understand it.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
I see. Just letting you know the things I'm seeing. I hot reboot on the US996 rom and the boot animation was normal size. On the vs995 the word android is gigantic. It spans from edge to edge of the display and looks like a size 26 font lol

Kernel crashed [MENTION=1325580]Tilde88[/MENTION] I was using some custom settings so maybe that's why. I was underclocking and using the Blu Active gov and the zen hotplug.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] N1ghtr08d:
Any chance of a Sprint ROM?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Sure, get me your system.img and boot.img
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
I don't understand what you are saying. Lot's of typos. Also, over/underclocking does not stick, as it is not unlocked in the kernel.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
lol it was only one typo. Made should have been maybe.

According to Kernel Adiutor it's sticking. I have the cpu max clock set to 1920 and it never goes above it.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] N1ghtr08d:
Do you need them from the stock Sprint phone or does it matter that I flashed the stock deodexed on my phone?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
stock would be best... Where did you get a Sprint deodexed ROM?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mrtruckincowboy:
not flashing prob cause i have 996 deoxed on this vzw device any way to install?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
I had US996 on my device and flashed to this fine. I cleaned flashed. Did you try a dirty flash? Not sure why it wouldn't flash. What kind of error are you getting?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mrtruckincowboy:
it starts twrp again wierd error
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
you're stuck in TWRP? Did you factory reset inside the rom?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mrtruckincowboy:
not stuck

tried again now i get a map file error whats that mean ? bad file?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
Perhaps. Definitely, I would try downloading a new copy. I didn't have any issues flashing.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Can you guys tell me if you are having USB issues when plugging in to your PC. Trying to figure out if the ROM has a bug or if someone has a driver issue.

Thanks.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] grrump:
No issues here connecting to computer through usb.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Um, this ROM and kernel is built for the VS995, so if the sticker on your phone says VS995, flash it.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] imucarmen:
just ask them. I'm sure they won't mind. Android ROM community is just a bunch of Kang projects for the most part :D Everyone is borrowing from everyone pretty much :highfive: Android would have about a half dozen ROM's if no kanging was going on. And shoot! everyone is kanging from google to start with! We open source man ;)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] idkwhothatis123:
Yes please do find out. I want to try OverDrive's ROM but he won't build for other variants as he has no other devices to test on. Makes it difficult. So a Kang mesh of both would be fantastic.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Lol no need to even ask. Open source is open source. Do it!

I only have the H918. I don't intend on fully supporting the other 5 devices forever lol. My whole intent to releasing the ROMs for other devices is so that devs that do UI mods can take over and help get the system UI fully modded/themed. So the more ROMs people can make, the better.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] elliwigy:
i think he just copy pasted files from yours and overdrives rom and made it boot lol. sounds like he'll need permission from overdrive dev then :)

so just to be clear, with this rom i can use the FM radio now?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DeMightyWit:
I have a clean 100 percent your ROM running. It gets the vibration on boot after a battery pull, I do a lot of battery switching, followed by the static. Any resets on that battery will just have static, no vibration.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
We will have to see if the behavior changes once static boot gets fixed.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ohblindone:
Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but when I attempt to flash this ROM using TWRP 3.0.2-1 after a clean DirtySanta root, I get an issue when booting. After it gets past the LG logo the entire screen is static (like the snow seen on an old tv). It boots just fine, as far as I can tell, but almost the entire screen is covered with this static. Touching the screen still works and you could ostensibly call and text and whatever else, sound still plays, but there is no way to remove this strange static. I'm using VS995 of course.

Has anyone run into this issue?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Artimis:
Yes, this is the static boot screen issue everyone is referring to. It happens with all custom kernels right now.

The temp fix is covered in post #2 of the Dirty Santa thread: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70093131&postcount=2

Basically, press the power button to turn off the screen, then cover the proximity sensor so the second screen turns off. The displays will be fixed when you turn them back on and remain fixed until the next reboot.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ohblindone:
Fantastic, thanks for the help. Might I suggest the original post be updated to include this information [MENTION=1325580]Tilde88[/MENTION]? Scanning through 100+ pages of posts on the dirty santa thread is pretty daunting.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] elliwigy:
its not a issue specific to this rom.. its every single user on any custom kernel
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ohblindone:
I don't think it'd hurt to put a mention of it on the OP.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] elliwigy:
i understand.. i guess i just figure common sense since its in the dirty santa thread and hes been posting in the comments trying to fix it lol but yes, doesnt hurt to have it in multiple threads
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] UPSGuy:
So for the issues I posted about this rom, I've found workarounds.

1) Native messaging missing: installed Messenger by Google in play store. Works almost as well, just a pain to send MMS. You have to initiate it from another app like Gallery to send MMS as far as I can tell.

2) No swipe on LG keyboard. It's there, just disabled by default, whereas it's enabled by default on stock rom. Open LG keyboard settings menu and toggle Path Input to on.

3) No voice to text on LG keyboard, even when Google Voice Keyboard is enabled. It's there, but you can't set it to show all the time. Normally if you click the gear icon you can choose to have the microphone icon showing all the time, but the best you can get here is holding down the gear icon and then dragging your finger up to the microphone icon each and every time you want to use it.

Hope this is helpful for others.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jay8302:
I know its been mentioned once but i dont know if there was a fix (at least i didnt see it)

When youre on a call you cant switch screens. The home burrons are darkenes is there a fix for that?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ZachJohnson:
I'm getting this too, it's been driving me crazy. I found this a few pages back -

It seems like the screen thinks it's locked during a call, clicking on contacts in the upper right appears to sort of unlock it. So there's at least a workaround...

Kernel is super optimized for battery, and includes blu_active governor, which is set to default by the ROM.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Buzzy42:
Just flashed this and all was working great until I changed the font size to Small and tried to set the Display Size (all in the normal Settings, no deeper tweaking or anything) and now I'm suddenly getting the SystemUI has crashed errors quite a bit.

Phone had been fine for a few hours until those 2 changes were made, restart isn't helping, even after putting those settings back to where they were. :/ Seems to happen a lot when backing out of apps to try to go back to the home screen.

Going to try a dirty flash before bed and will restore from (stock) backups if that doesn't work...

EDIT: apparently I accidentally turned on MiniView in my frenzy to get set up; turning that back off seems to have solved the problem-- although I haven't had the nerve to try to change the font size/display size again. ;)

It would be great to have it baked in, but over the years I've come to appreciate the roms as is and add in what i want. The developers are busy enough and it has made me learn a bunch of things.

---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------

After using it for about 10 minutes. App switching seems much slower a bigger delay when hitting a recent apps button and an even bigger delay when double tapping it to switch to last app. I think I'm going to go back to 5.1 to make sure that was really quicker. Anyone else have the same delay?

Erm, not exactly. I have the 5.5 rom installed. I flashed suhide then installed the root switch apk. Android pay and pokemon go work perfectly and I can toggle root with a single tap in the notification bar.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tilde88:
Yes, as of 5.5 it will work with a root hider. I mentioned it in the update notes. In 5.5 i added the patch in the kernel to skip the verified boot_state. Without it, SafetyNet would always fail, even with suhide, because of the custom ROM.

From OP :

"Removed boot state verification. This allows your device to pass CTS on SafetyNet. That means that you might be able to use a root hide program, or maybe full unroot within SuperSU, and perhaps apps like Android Pay and Pokemon GO will work. They will never work if root is detected, no matter what."

How are you guys getting this to work? When I flash suhude 0.55, my phone will not boot, i have to go into /data and delete things. Also, flashing suhide seems to replace my custom kernel, so I lose color control.
