[MENTION=5585036]digitalart[/MENTION]: Thank you for that information.

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]: Does anybody know, which dpi i have to set ?

Otherwise, i read, that someone has bricked his phone with a dpi-changer... Could this happen ?!?

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 AM ----------

Oh no.... PLEASE HELP: On my second us996 i was on lineageos nightly, then i then i had made a full backup with twrp of it, then wiped everything, then i flashed weta for testing... During System-Boot, there comes a message of (don´t remeber the exact words) data or system not decrypted or encrypted and then i had to reset... it goes in twrp and i have to wipe data/cache/dalvik... after that i did a restart, but in always goes into twrp. I was testing araound full wiping, flash lineage with supersu but during reboot after that it always goes into twrp to. Exactly the same after restoring my full backup of lineage... What can i do to get it fixed ? Thank you so much in advance for the help...
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
BTW. Thanks to the OP for that fantastic rom...

I think i have done something wrong, because after installation and setting the system like i want it, many apps crashes from the start (like shazam...).

I tried weta dpi changer with every possible dpi-setting and every time cleared cash and storage of the app, but the app crashed with every dpi-setting...

So maybe i set something wrong in the system and a factory reset/new start will solve it...

So my question is... what is the easiest way to factory reset the rom...

Go to the factory reset setting in the settings ? And then it is rooted and fully functionally anyway ?

Or do i have to to something in TWRP (and if, what exactly) ?

Thanks for your help, i really appreciate

I would just do a clean flash of the ROM personally. There shouldn't be any setting you need to adjust .
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
Do i have to wipe dalvik, data, internal storage (it is ok to me to loose my data, i have no personal data on this phone) cache,

AND SYSTEM before reflashing/clean flashing the rom again ?

I really do not want to loose the unlocked bootloader and TWRP...

(Every day i learn a ton around the whole v20 stuff, so i am really sorry, if my questions are not as professional. Maybe after all that learning i could help some other peoples here at the same way, as i got help from all of you. You all here are fantastic... Without you all i can´t do anything with the v20, as i am just a student of these things... THANK YOU ALL !!!)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] shadavis08:
When you flash weta it will ask you if you want to wipe cache and delvic . That's really all you need for a clean flash I believe . Also don't forget to flash your su of choice along with weta or you'll lose root. If you choose magisk pick no su when flashing , and add the magisk zip right behind weta zip . If you want super su just choose it when it asks.

I'm still learning all this myself.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] electroblood:
In case anyone else is trying, I was able to get Magisk 13.3 fully passing safety net on WETA 5.0.7. I also got Xposed installed on Magisk as well, and it is working great (some modules are not compatible, but most work. Once the modules are updated by the author they should be OK. Enabling Xposed SDK27 in Magisk causes safety net to fail, however disabling the module in Magisk and rebooting makes it pass again (until you re-enable it). Also working is the Mock Locations hider for Magisk.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Joe199799:
Can you explain the process for getting magisk 13.3 up and running and how to install Xposed, H918 help is appreciated
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] electroblood:
Magisk is super easy. Im on the WETA kernel. Just followed these instructions :

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

For Xposed, I just installed the Xposed Magisk plugin from here :

http://fastkit.org/xposed/magisk/SDK24/26-07-17-xposed-systemless-v87-sdk24-by-PurifyOS.zip

Enable it in Magisk and reboot. Not much to it. I had no issues at all with either step.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Joe199799:

Thanks for the help again, when I install Xposed through magisk it says it installed successfully and I reboot and have no modules and if I try to reinstall magisk crashes, flashed non magisk version and everything is all good, anybody wanting to flash it I recommend downloading the zip and flashing through recovery for the non magisk version, I tried through the app and had issues, also what modules are you running? Ok so 3rd edit wound up uninstalling Xposed my os became slightly janky and some apps were fcing, so I'll probably wait for a stable release, but good to know we still have a working Xposed on nougat

Full Backup and Restore

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]:

So meanwhile is there a way to get a fully working backup and restore with twrp ?

On my second V20 us996 unlocked (with lineage) there is no problem to restore a backup with twrp and boot etc. after it...

on the first V20 us996 unlocked with WETA (the one of my wife) it is always stuck on LG-Logo after a TWRP-restore :(

btw. on both phones i used an micro-sd-card for the storage of twrp-backups,- is that incorrect for backup/restore with twrp for WETA ?

And is there a special thing, i have to keep in mind of, in matters of wiping (maybe do not to have wipe everything for example), before doing a restore ?

How do you guys do a fully working backup and restore (maybe not with twrp?!?) ?

I found an older post from Mentalmuso:

I think i do not understand it completely... Does it means, it is much better to do a full backup with the APP "Nandroid Manager * ROOT" or "Online Nandroid Backup * root" ?

And if so, do i have to consider something special ?

And how to restore these backups... then with TWRP and after it no problems ?

Thank you in advance for all your help here !!!

What kernel are you guys using, I am on a VS995 with the WETA kernel but battery life is terrible, I have used both werewolf but performance takes a hit. Thanks in advanced
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Joe199799:
Personally Xposed for magisk didn't work for me on H918 I had to install through recovery, and I had to download the files for sdk 24 all architectures manually, going through the app worked but would say it wasn't active, after flashing the file manually through twrp did it work, I also downloaded the uninstaller in case something went wrong, unfortunately Xposed made my phone a little choppy so I uninstalled and will wait for a stable build, but it's still awesome that we have Xposed for nougat in general.

Stock. Haven't tried WETA kernel as it has the wifi calling glitch last I heard. Stock runs fine for me. I've never had good luck with custom kernels in the past.

3minit battery isn't working correctly. I'm running 5.0.7 and the WETA kernel with SuperSu. I selected a 3minit battery and wanted it to disable the stock battery. It added the custom battery, but now I have both stock and the 3minit battery. Is anyone else seeing this?

Thanks!

Hi,

It worked fine for me. However I am using magisk su. Which shouldn't be different from yours. However I had to do a couple of reboots and switching back and forward between stock and custom battery until I got it to work.

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

I am still havibg this weird issue that my phone takes if it loses cell phone reception and once it has it again. Where can I turn it off. It's kinda annoying when the phone goes off in the elevator saying "Verizon wireless". I am not that huge of a fan of them. I can't find a way to turn it off. So far that's the only thing which gets read out loud
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] KUSOsan:
Is it showing up in the actual stock notification bar or in the 2nd screen while the screen is on(like when immersive mode is on). What works best for me is to check all the settings you want in the rom control and then do bulk execute. After it boots back up go into each category under ROM control and execute in each individual category. That has always worked 100% for me Everytime I've done it in that process however I use regular stock kernel so not sure if matters.

Edit) also do you have show battery percentage under stock settings in battery settings? Turn that off and see

How do you guys do a fully working backup and restore with WETA Rom?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:

Try to download the App GPS STATUS:

I use it since many years and it is perfect for a fast gps fix...

BTW, maybe you would like to try Magic Earth instead of google maps..

All Maps are free and with GPS STATUS together on my V20 us996 it is the fastest gps fix, i´ve ever had on a smartphone (only about 3-7 seconds maximum)

So the problem in summary...

Second lg v20 us996 with weta... i can make a full backup (all fields checked) with twrp, but when i restored it,

it will be stuck in lg logo...

Maybe you guys have an easy way of making a full backup with full functionality of an complete and fully working restore (no hanging boot issues etc. after it)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
Ok.. gotcha. What I suggest is you don't check everything. The default has only 3 checked. That's all you need. I did that once and had the same problem. Just do the default way. Hope that helps.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
Ok, to not make it wrong, what are the 3 fields exactly called?

And maybe i have to say, that after that backup i would like to experiment around with the system, and if i do something bad, i would like to do a full wipe (or do i ever have to exclude something during a wipe?) and then i would like to restore the previous backup.

Btw. On the second v20 i have lineageos and there i have no problems with doing a full backup (all fields checked) and to restore that. At the v20 with weta, the restore does not boot up, as i said.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
Here's what I do... I check everything but not internal storage or microsd. Always. Just so there's no problems. I do this on rom changes. On kernel or mods I don't wipe anything. Just don't do that on kernel or mods. In reference to the 3 on backup let me what their called. I don't remember. Brb

I can not get Verizon 4G LTE AND calls/sms to work.

I have wiped everything and installed this rom from scratch about 4 or 5 times now and I've tried switching back and forth between Global, LTE/CDMA and LTE/GSM a bunch of times. 4G works on LTE/GSM but then I can not call or text as Verizon is CDMA based. When on LTE/CDMA, I only get 3G showing up.

I've tried both Weta kernel and Weta fixed kernel

Any help would be appreciated.

Try calling your voicemail, that fixes it for me. Tho you have to call it everytime you restart your phone.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Zerotwistknife7:
So calling my voicemail (or any number) doesn't change the fact that I am stuck on 3G.

If I swap to LTE/GSM/UMTS (which gives me 4G) and attempt to call, it says mobile network not available.

EDIT: So now I can call and sms while on LTE/GSM/UMTS.... Confused, but it's working.

It always said mobile network was unavailable and I figured it was because it needed to be CDMA (Verizon)

EDIT: I guess I thought it was working, but unfortunately, that does not actually work as I last said. I am back to being stuck with either 3G/calls/texts or 4G with no calls/texts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CM-Tester:
Ok, sounds good, that a twrp backup AND restoring it works for you...

But may i ask again, because i am a little bit confused:

Check everything but not internal storage (then i do not have to wipe it, i understand) or microsd,

or only check boot, system and data for a backup ?

If i want to do a wipe sometime, is there something i am absolutely "forbidden" to wipe (like data for example) ?

Another question... is it possible to swith this phone to lineageos and after some time back again to weta?

Or will it bring problems ?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
Every phone is different so I can't answer that. But in reference to wipe that's really up to you in reference to the storages. Just have common sense to know that what your doing is deleting everything. Up to you. I personally do not. But, up to you. In reference to lineage and weta I recommend wiping everything but storage. This are two different systems so it's a good idea to start fresh always. If your going from one system to the same type then you can dirty flash.

I learned by reading a lot of forums for weeks before I ever decided to root. I recommend you read as much as you can. Your questions will be answered just by taking some time to research. Good luck!

Yes, you are right. I learned over the last years much stuff too by reading reading reading... Galaxy Fame, S3, S3 Mini, S4, S4 Mini, S5, Galaxy Note-3, Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 WiFi and now the LG V-20 us996... But the LG-World is a completely other world in flashing and rooting... Anyway...

The only problem i have right now with a full backup/restore on weta...

if i make a full backup with twrp, play around with the system, adjust something etc., and then, when something does not work anymore, because of a bad setting of me, when i wipe and restore the backup after it, the boot is stuck on the lg logo...

(I DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON THE SECOND V20 WITH LINEAGE.... NO HANGING BOOT / NO STUCK ON LG LOGO AFTER RESTORE)

And with that, i am not the only one here in the thread and Mentalmuso knows the problem too, as you can read in my post:

Advantages of WETA over stock/unrooted

Hey guys,

I wanted to get the take of a few users on this ROM of the user experience between unrooted and this ROM. I used to always root my phones as a matter of course, but haven't done it in a few years. I've had this the H918 variant since launch and have been moderately happy with it. I primarily listen to music through streaming service, play games, calls/texts, use phone as remote, etc.

With the new OTA I see that I may lose the option of rooting and I'm wondering how worth it the root experience on this phone is, specifically how worth it is this ROM. I'm not interested in constantly updating the newest build or having stability issues. I simply don't have the time anymore. So, anyone who has recently switched over to root/this ROM that cares to comment?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] shadavis08:
We shouldn't get flagged for the update on WETA right?

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------

If you like to tweak the stock LG rom and remove the crap bloatware you'll like this rom. I can't stand the bloat and like to change the look to kind of personalize my experience.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] musclebadger:
I have had a note 4 that was without root for a long time. I moved to this phone and rooted it right away. I have been on Weta for many months now without a hiccup. Funny enough this rom seems to work better than my friends stock of v20.

I like the idea of having bloatware off my phone, being able to use adaway to block loads of ads, and just simply being able to run apps that wouldnt work without root. I have countless other apps that require root including backup which is nice piece of mind.

As for no time, I don't have much and hate having to worry about the phone not being stable. I would say go ahead and do it.

P.s. no annoying ota update notifications!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] emtownsend:
I am on the Verizon variant (VS995). I have tried every VS995 ROM on XDA with the exception of the newer Desolation ROM. For a stock based ROM, this is the best in my opinion. There are slight Bluetooth glitches but not deal breakers. I have a Tasker task set to toggle my BT when I connect to my car's power. There is a built in App called BluReset that does a similar function. This allows my Mazda and my Ford to connect more completely. Without the toggle, BT connects but only for phone and basic music audio (no controls or artist info), so... either toggle or use BluReset to fix this and it is a fast fix. Otherwise, you will run into limitations with Android Pay, some credit card apps, Netflix and the like if they actually detect root. Pictures are great, video works, audio recording works and it is pretty stable for me too. I reboot about once a week, but I did that with pure stock too. I also used the WETA kernel but others have had good luck with some of the other kernels, especially if you use Android Pay, Netflix, etc.... Oh yeah, using a stock based ROM is the only way to keep your second screen. On the non-stock based ROMs it is always in an off state. So, another plus for this ROM.

Lastly, I do get Verizon update requests daily, but I just keep ignoring them. I am sure there is a fix somewhere, but I haven't bothered to look.

Now... what this ROM does for me being unrooted vs rooted: For me being rooted has more to do with ROM hopping than delivering some special functionality. I like to theme my phone and to tweak the developer settings for speed and smoothness.

If you are at all concerned with little hiccups and behaviors like those I mentioned, you may want to stay stock. To me, the freedom of root is worth dealing with the little issues, most of which there are fixes for anyway (I just haven't taken the time). Hope this helps!!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] KittySparkles:
The amount of stuff I use root for blows away any hope of me using pure stock roms. Adblocking, theming, cpu tweaks, L-Speed stuff, and a few others I can't remember. The only issue I've ever had is my camera quality lowering and I never use my camera anyway. Even so, I've tweaked it so it takes great photos anyway.

Go through and see what you use for root and see if you can live with out it.
