[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Edwinc26:
Performance:

LG G5 SE has a less powerful SoC (Mid-range Snapdragon 652) in terms of performance, but maybe it'll be better with battery life (which also depends on software). While Honor8 has a Kirin 950 which is a high-end SoC.

Both phones are able to run Android 7.0 Nougat with official OTA.

Honor has 4GB while the G5 SE has 3GB.

Battery

Battery on my Honor 8 running Nougat (EMUI 5.0.1) is pretty good. I get 100%-20% (which is something about ~5h30m SoT) -> using a lot Instagram, Whatsapp and watching Youtube videos throughout the day.

Honor's battery has more mAh capacity than the LG's. Again, software is a big deal when comes to battery life.

Updates:

I don't know about LG G5 SE OTA updates, but Huawei/Honor is still delivering security patch updates. Currently using Google's January security patch, will be getting March security patch within this month. (Maybe Honor8 will get Oreo update soon).
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ivanlaki:
How did you get those great statistics?

For me, same usage, Whatsapo, IG, Deezer and Chrome and Honor8 barely survive afternoon.

There are some good battery results but my ain't oneof them.

8Am 100%

4 pm 10%

Sot 3 hours max(combined wifi and data 50%/50%)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] denism81:
I definitely wouldn't buy honor again, and I'd pass on the G5 for sure. Surely you can find other choices?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Edwinc26:
Well first I don't overcharge my phone, always charge it at the end of the day - before sleep. Go to sleep with 100% and wake up with like 96%ish (that's because I like to watch some videos before sleep lol). By this I mean, I just charge my phone once a day so this way the battery capacity don't decrease that fast.

Today was a light-usage kinda day for my phone. Just watched some Youtube, social media, Chrome and Whatsapp. 3h15min SoT, still have 42% remaining. From 100% (1am) to 42% (11pm).

One more thing, I have all my apps (except Whatsapp) closed while screen off (background).

So if you have all apps closed while screen off and had your phone updated, this means you got a faulty battery.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] miuhen:
Both are out of date.

If no others choice. Then Honor 8 or v8. I think is better.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] O.a.T.:
I'm probably going to stay away from honor for multiple reasons including slow updates, inconsistent news about whether honor 8 will get oreo, and decreased availability in the U;S. as now Best Buy is dropping the line. Huawei seriously needs to do something about their USA footprint with their failures in getting carriers to adopt their phones. Essential phone is looking pretty good for my next purchase.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] tiguy99:
When I first got mine, it would perform like that. Think I was on B388.

Lately, I've got 4.5hr SOT on avg.

Just updated to B391 yesterday.

Will post my battery results soon

As for the O.P's question, I'd go with the Honor 8 (this is coming from someone who ran they several LG G series phones

AWESOME :) Hope I would get great battery life with low sound bug fixed on this ROM [emoji1]

BTW, there is no Rev1, Rev2. But some devices like mine can't wipe in TWRP. Only need to wipe through stock recovery, otherwise it causes bootloop. So how can I flash it? [MENTION=5835461]tejus[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Pedro Henrique 12:
Error in Twrp when flashing rom!

Does it work on Win Rev2?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tejus:
Try CM13 rev2 installation guide

And tell that works for u or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tejus:
Try this and inform

1. Through the Stock recovery wipes are making (data, cache, dalvik-cache, factory-reset) recovery

2. Install stock rom --> STOK ROM

3. Install TWRP ---> TWRP (In TWRP wipe DO NOT NEED !!!!)

4. Install Lineage OS!
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Pedro Henrique 12:

Can someone help?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tejus:
Use latest TWRP

Link of latest TWRP is in thread so flash TWRP version 3.0.3 and rom will be flashed with no error

Bugs Report

Great Work Tejus.

Bug #1 - In Play store, many apps (esp. WhatsApp) shows error "Your Device isn't compatible with this version" as in attached screenshots, So can't be installed through play store, even in the oldest android 4.x, these apps were able to install via play store.

Bug #2 - Auto Screen-Brightness bar not working., It worked after I disabled "Adaptive Brightness" in "Setting->Display & Lights".

Bug #3 - Physical home button doesn't wake up screen.

Request #1 - Double Tap to sleep on status bar can be enabled, working perfectly, if Double Tap to wake-up feature is added, will be great and appreciable.

Request #2 - Make changes in system, so bigger open-gApps ( like stock or Full ) can be installed via Recovery. I was only able to installed only pico and mini version of GApps.

These all problems were also in the earlier CM 13 Rom for this device.

Waiting eagerly for resolution of play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
Yes it worked :) First boot took very longer than other ROMS but it's okay, it finally booted.

Issues I'm having are:

Can't give root access to only CM File Manager.

Animations are not smooth and fast. Even changing animations scale do not help :(
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Tbone456@:
what about the battrey life anyone tested.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tejus:
Agree with bug#1

Bug#2 is not bug ourdevice dont have light sensor so default is set 50% brightness and u can change brightness by disabling adaptive brightness

Bug#3 check out home to wake up option in settings / buttons but by default is home to wake up is enabled

Will try to do complete ur req1 and flash pico and install gapps what u want if u will install in system that will cause more battery drainage for now
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tejus:
Can try this

increase min freq when u do multitasking by this app i prefer https://github.com/Arubadel/Arubadel/releases

and m not facing any root issuse with cm file manager .:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tejus:
Try Yourself

This rom has best battery pack then CM13 and PAC13 for now
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
CM file manager just doesn't ask for root at all

I increased min freq and it's okay for now but it still needs to be improved

Also I saw deep sleep option in Arubadel. What is it and does it affect phone functionality?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tejus:
Its like

For night or long standby when u dont use ur phone then u can enable that option it will turn off 3 cores and will run on 1 core @ 245mhz so will conserves battery and when u wake up ur device u need to manually turn on the cores and In setting /general from there u enabled root user?(in cm file manager) or just check root access setting in developer options
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
When I tried to do that, then nothing happens. No root access prompt appears. But it's not a big problem for me as I use root explorer.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] z1_nile:
Install the remaining gapps from play store they work the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Divax_Xda:
Wow its WORKING thanksssssss.. u guyss r rockk..when wil release next update ??

:highfive::o
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] z1_nile:
Longer than you expect. Dev is busy in exams will be back in 8 weeks meanwhile our kernel dev can give kernel updates but no ETAs. Hope you understand they have other things to do with development.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] z1_nile:
Why disabling dvc in poweramp drops volume by nearly more than half? In Stock there was not any difference in volume level if it was either disabled or enabled? And please increase in call volume. Dev it's the last favor I want.

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] yaseen2u:
Yeah Dev please fix this problem..:crying:

Of Low Call Volume...
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
It's not fixed yet. Meanwhile you can use apkmirror

Or use third-party stores like Aptoide
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] GalaxyWinWin:
First time here on XDA, and i am experiencing some bugs on the ROM

Sometimes the device restarts automatically and deletes some personal settings and needs to make them again.

Other bug that i face os in camera, sometimes doesnt work or lags a lot tô take the pictures

The last bug is in Snapchat that the camera doesnt start, keeps in Black.

Besides of that, the ROM is great, Hope the dev Works on new updates
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] z1_nile:
Reflash the rom and don't use xposed the random reboot and settings changing are signs of buggy installation. If you paused the download of rom or even gapps it can cause problems. It's not a problem of the rom. I too had it. Solved by re flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] GalaxyWinWin:
Will reflashing the rom will fix these bugs that i mentioned? I did not used xposed for any reason, used only root for arubadel to the vídeo lag.

I am Just concerned about the Snapchat bug.

Thanks for Future reply..
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] z1_nile:
There are no such bugs in rom. Use twrp 3.0.3 and don't flash as mentioned by dev.

Flash rom - patch - gapps in this series all at once then boot.

[MENTION=5835461]tejus[/MENTION] Today flashed your patches first time. it worked perfectly, now it becomes super fast compare to earlier stage.

but Wi-Fi still doesn't get auto-connected.

thanks for these improvements you've made.

can you make a nougat system ui for lineageOS 13 this rom this device?:p
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] GalaxyWinWin:
I reflashed the ROM, and i noticed that It doesnt charge the battery while the phone is off, in my cellphone It appears that the battery Will charge but It doesnt charge att all, only with the phone on, is It my Cell phone or from the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] rony raj:
From the rom kernel bug
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
Use N-ify xposed module
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tejus:
U can make by ur own

-Install xpose installer by any method

-Then install [url="http://repo.xposed.info/module/tk.wasdennnoch.androidn_ify]This[/url]

-Enable Module And Reboot!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] z1_nile:
I tried but it doesn't have animations and I want those animations. So a systemui port would be nicer and theme friendlier.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
Use Nova Launcher, it has a setting to set custom animations.

Only use latest nightly of N-ify. It has smooth animations. Not the stable one as it is not so good. [MENTION=6912598]z1_nile[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

That version is not so good as it doesn't have smooth animations. Better to use only nightly, I personally tried it.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] z1_nile:
I am using Nova since ages. check out clear drawer setup of it. And N-ify causes misalignment of icons the ones on header... But i'll try it. Where are nightly modules? I use experimentals or betas.

i've try it bro but problem still in me any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Alinp007:
Did u have xposed installed... can u elaborate install procedure u did to avoid problem :)
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] GalaxyWinWin:
Hey man, i did not used xposed in this device yet, and for the install procedure, i followed this:

Installed the OS, - Patches and the gapps for last, followed what the user z1_nile told me to do...
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] z1_nile:
Camera lovers who have problem in camera app do this.

1. Flash stock (latest updated) firmware/rom with Odin (father of Thor).

2. Flash recovery. Boot the device.

3. Reboot recovery. Flash Los as described by me(exactly the same)

4. Come here and press the thanks button. (Optional)

5. Enjoy your camera.

Reason: Due to the fact that many of us have tweaked the stock rom a lot and other have tried modified versions of it. There are problems in it. So you must flash stock first.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tejus:
f2fs is supported now will soon hav f2fs update
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
But all ROM, Kernel, TWRP should support F2FS right?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tejus:
Yes everything will be changef new twrp new kernel new ....
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
Cool :)

When can we expect it?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] z1_nile:
Why do we need F2FS? There isn't very significant improvements in usability and or speed of device. What's the point of changing whole file system and kernel, recovery and rom? Help me out.

What is this https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 and is it useful for us? I don't have a lot of time to read about it so please see it once.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
I've tried but Magisk didn't work in this ROM. It requires compatible Boot.img

It would be awesome if [MENTION=5835461]tejus[/MENTION] made compatible Boot.img so that we can use SuperSu, Magisk modules etc

With Magisk, we can hide some apps from root like Pokémon Go, etc

Don't need the hide thing.. Which modules are available is it like xposed? Or advanced?

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Ash52:
tejusbhai Thanx for amazing ROM but application which we install crashes pls do something

---------- Post added at 03:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------

I have also that problem how can I solve it?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Tsun_Pooka:
Thank you for this ROM! You have clearly put me out from being stuck on Jellybean on this device for so long, and took me up to Marshmallow. You have given it new life that I look forward to nurturing. However, I have some things to show, and I hope I have more so by the time I integrate this ROM into my daily life.

No matter what I do, mixed adoptable storage doesn't seem to work. I've tried following Sam Liddicott's approach to semi-adopted storage (you can search for it online) countless times, first through ADB and through the usage of apps such as Apps2SD but to no avail, thanks to this error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell sm partition disk:179_64 mixed 62
Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Thread Binder_D gave up waiting for partitionMixed after 180000ms

As you can see, executing this command through ADB produced this error, and partitioning with the help of Apps2SD also resulted in the same. I had to go through a less clean method involving both Apps2SD and Link2SD, and I hope to find a remedy to the above issue soon.

The other thing is that apps that used to be deemed compatible for my previous firmware (the stock Galaxy Win Rev 1 firmware) are now incompatible, e.g. Google Allo. I wonder what causes it? One more thing is the lack of OTG support. Is this a kernel issue? I would like to see happen where Samsung couldn't. Also, occasionally the Play Store will crash for no reason and keep crashing for a couple of restarts afterwards. These are the issues that I encountered consistently.

Either way, I really appreciate this ROM! Keep going strong with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
Advanced I guess. Idk. I only know about Automagisk which can hide applications from root automatically.

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Ash52:
Hi

Nice ROM

But what to do for better battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Woozey:
I couldn't use mobile data.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Tsun_Pooka:
I've got a few other nitpicks to report of.

Is Privacy Guard's wifi/mobile data blocking features broken or is that the way they actually work? I blocked an outdated version of the Final Fantasy Portal App from both wifi and mobile data, and when I open the game, the OS does claim that Privacy Guard is blocking it BUT in reality it's loaded the app and even complains about updating it (which is precisely why I'm blocking it, so I can bypass being online to play the first two Final Fantasy games which are actually compatible on LineageOS!).

Another is that in Apps2SD or the new Amazon Store (and possibly other apps), whenever an ad loads or I change screens, the elements glitch out. More like, the transparent regions of UI elements flash black before turning back to transparent (or not at all, then a task switch is required). Finally, wifi toggle behavior is inconsistent. At one time it'll automatically connect to my wifi network, at another it will not and I will have to enter Quick Toggles to connect to my router. At other times, once I attempt connecting to my router I'll be taken to the full settings page.

Will report more as I use the system more!

EDIT: Here's a graphical glitch I found. Not so much, but it's still weird. An easy fix would be to lower the date in the notification shade.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Ash52:
What do for battery backup?

I am currently using kernel auditor which is best governor for good battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Natus Chaos:
I think it's not a bug, the DPI 240 make the things big on screen, a possible fix is putting the font in screen settings to 95% or less, or edit build.prop DPI to 220, I know there is a option in screen settings to change DPI too but by editing build.prop, you will make it permanent fixed, it also make all readability of system better.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Vikhyat01:
can we install google assistant and if yes how??
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Tsun_Pooka:
I crossed by the DPI settings too while using the system. You may be correct about that, the phone's resolution certainly is a bit too low for a smartphone today so maybe decreasing the DPI could help it. Like I said, it's just a minor nitpick.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
I'm always changing my dpi from the beginning of when we got cm11. Things just doesn't look good when I did not change dpi to 220 and even worse in MM roms. It is better if [MENTION=5835461]tejus[/MENTION] and other ROM developers also set 220 as default. PAC ROM and CM13 by weritos also having this same issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] tejus:
yes use xpose module assistant enabler
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Natus Chaos:
Samsung are wrong even in stock

Even in stock rom is wise to use 220 on DPI, by looking how big icons show in system ui and inside of apps, I awalys used, it's a great idea of yours if devs make it by default 220, and of course disable adaptive brightness and LiveDisplay too. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
That LiveDisplay thing is annoying. Sadly, it cannot be fixed as it is source bug. It's still there in Nougat too.

Best way if kernel supports screen profiles, calibration then we can do it ourselves using kernel adiutor mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] z1_nile:
Can't take screenshots with power+home keys and N-ify causing quicksetting panel to become full screen. The tiles reach bottom of screen with no place for notification. Not even the first notification is visible any solution for it. Everything else is good and using stock dpi helps in installing apps from play store if it is shown supported.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Tsun_Pooka:
You take screenshots with the volume down and power key, not the original ROM's combination. As for N-ify, I haven't tested that. Right now I'm wondering whether the battery is less optimized in this ROM or if the phone's battery really is dying.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
I wish battery life is same as stock rom. Just flashed stock rom, 0% idle battery drain overnight! Can't believe!
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Tsun_Pooka:
What was the drain like with the custom ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
Idle battery drain is too much. More than 20% idle battery drain overnight.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Tsun_Pooka:
So I charged the device overnights to 100%, used it for an hour in the metro for 73%, I showed it later to my friend and a moment later it was dropping like mad, until it was about 5%. That non-idle usage is also caused by this custom ROM?

What a shame, and I came to not believe myself. Fortunately I can just back it up and restore it like I did my stock ROM. Thanks for the tip off! I hope to see it fixed soon. I'm afraid of using my device that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] SonOfSparda:
All Custom ROM's for our device having that problem. So I switched back to stock firmware temporarily. Devs said first they will make ROM's like LOS14.1 usable first then fix battery. So it takes time.
