[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Team DevDigitel:
working on a ton of little projects at the moment and haven't had a chance to respond to much here.

im looking into magisk and the phh stuff, manual bump of a stock.img still brings same results, systemui isnt playing nice with magisk hide for some reason, and from the changelog its already designed to not look at the system-priv apps diretories. I went as far as re-building a new base fore magisk with no edits from stock, no build prop etc and same issues, so its def. a magisk issue with out device and how it perceives system commands. Unless i can get somone from magisk team to explain further on how it detects root commands etc im stuck on how to get it 100% for us. It looks like t-mob has a working rom with hide etc working so ill have to ask some questions there.

The viper4android and viper4arise mess is what it is. Their implimentation is a work in progress to bring support to as many devices in 1 package.

Im working on the 2 main bugs that ive seen myself on clean setups. 1) no audio after rotation to landscape 2) viper disconnect after changing media. These both probably would be fixed by running selinux off option but that's not how i want it fixed for myself at-least, as well it seems magisk is going to be set by default to force the device into permissive mode. Again something i really dont personally like and is a risk/reward thing to most. Android N has been forcing this more and more on its users etc, same with the forced encryption to our personal data, this leads me into my next projects "main stuff"

Im dilegently working on building a custom kernel from source and some hacked up parts of the leaked debug image. I would like to get atleast Kcal support for full video driver support, and the static issue under control. Its just not something that happens over night and this is a long term project i have to learn as i go kinda deal. Trial and error baby

as well with this im looking to build from source a LS997 aosp rom. Probably lineage os since CM sold out to them tec. after Dec 31st. This isnt something im really looking for myself but a lot of people keep asking about substratum and oms, This is only supported in aosp/aokp roms and stock based roms aren't really on the working list. You can theme some stuff using other devs theme-able google apps etc, but its not my work and itsnt something ill really be looking into. There are some great full themes for our device in google play that devs made specifically for us, this is a great option for 1.50$ a theme. Ive spent the time trying to replicate these themes myself and its well worth the 1.50 to contribute to a dev who specializes in this then do it myself, and get updates from him as needed.

Ill try to check in from time to time, and unless its a direct question to me or a pm it may be 24hours for a response, as well some things are going un-awnsered as the pm has little info to help troubleshoot or re-create the issues. Many "bugs" i see posted and discussed are related to mods you are flashing overtop the rom, kernels that are being used , changes being made, restoring backed-up data with twrp or with titanium etc. Those are not rom bugs, but bugs related to what you are doing and how its being done. Each persons data is diffrent, i know my gmails dont like to work after restoring my data with twrp, and having to sign them out and back in the 1st time after a restore fixes this. Some of my apps act stupid as well, where their data needs cleared to stop random fc or glitches they have. This is easily identified by doing a clean flash, including your internal storage and starting from scratch. I reccomend everyone run build version 5.5 / or the magisk roms. Be aware magisk roms are semi-broken when using the magisk-hide, but everything else seems solid. Using the beta magisk phh app is also not needed and can be deleted from the system and replaced from the google play version.

There shouldn't be any new bugs with magisk outside of the fact it will only support apps that run in system-less mode as its the nature of magisk and why you would be using it in the 1st place. Magisk was not developed by me as well as my knowlege is limited to how its being developed and its current issues. There is a link to the magisk forum for more support, same goes with viper and any other included mods from other devs ive ported over to my roms.
