[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smuook:
Thank you for this insight, it was a very interesting read. However, isn't the issue with Broadcomm about the 3G technology? How does this impact the video performance? I am by no means an expert, but if you ask me it seems that Qualcomm has to come up with a workaround for the 3G technology patents that current Kaiser owners already have. Plus, they will still have the video issues to deal with.

I don't know what the answer will be but I see this as another problem for Qualcomm for new Kaisers... current owners are using 3G with no problem, like me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] forcedalias:
They're HTC, what do you expect? Still kinda pissed off about their release of the upgraded Trinity.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
CORRECT!

My response was a reply to two seperate individuals talking about two seperate updates that have nothing to do with each other (Other than a few people hopeful thinking) That's why if you read my post closely, you see I state they are issuse independent of each other.

The Chipset is indeed for the WCDMA, 3G, Comm. Issues in direct response to the lawsuit. The hardware "Update" (for lack of a better word) does nothing for video as far as I can ascertain. This "upgrade is strictly out of the necesity of complying with the court order. (No Video Help) AS FOR CURRENT KAISER OWNERS: They don't have to do a thing. You good to go because of the Sunset clause & the current royalty agreement. Hence, you don't need a fix. The provision also allows HTC to continue using the same chipset for existing orders & business relations & contracts made before a certain date. (Don't remember exact date) However, I expect them to fully switch over to the "New Chip" because it's easier to only support one hardware set. Qualcomm originally tried to throw money at the problem (being cheaper than developing a new idea) & they (Qualcomm) offered triple royaties. Broadcom saw the opportunity to hurt them back though & said NO!

The 6.1 update is the other independent issue. Some have refernced that this update may have something to do with a video driver update. I know it does nothing for the video as written by MS of course. Only OS & related fixes. To the best of my knowledge (Opinnion based on discussions with 1 Qualcomm Exec. in S.D. & a few other knowledgable {VERY} people) the firmware update also will not do anything for the video issue. I trust these people as they've lead me to good decisions in the past regarding device issues & releases. The problem being MS has has the 6.1 update done & out to oem's for testing & implementation. My understanding is that HTC has contacted Qualcomm & some work has started, but the indication is that MS does not want the H/W issue to delay the implementation of their O/S S/W firmware update. So, as much as I'd really love to be wrong, I sincerely doubt I am.

Well do you guys suggest i return my phone and wait for a better option??, I'm still in the 30 day return period.. And I dont want to be stuck with a defective product..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shantzg001:
@GSLEON3:

You are quite right in all the things you said in (as I found out just today from my contacts):

1) WM6.1 upgrade is independed of video fix

2) The other software upgrade will is independent of hw update

3) This particular HW update is due to the injunctions

BUT

The HW update is also for video as one of the infringed patents is for video hw itself, which will be disable in newer versions (though it affects only encoding (dunno if gfx as well) and not decoding)

And yes one more thing, apart from this hw update, another hw update is also in the offing definitely (maybe combined with this itself) that I talked about earlier..but as i said earlier, that particular hw update might not be called kaiser/tytn2 anymore..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shantzg001:
IMP UPDATE:

From the info that I just got, I think that (atleast for some time ) all support for existing umts products like the kaiser will be stopped by QC and its customers, and so you might not see any software update at all for the current gen kaisers, leave aside the video drivers update. The situation is pretty complex right now and all the ppl are unsure of what all does the injunction covers...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aksd:
As far as what I've read and understood, the unjunction says that Qualcomm can support existing products, so are you sure about this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rohanmaini:
I am not too read on the subject hence wont comment on it...

However, even if qualcomm can support existing products... do you think they will... logically they would focus their energies in developing new hardware which does not infringe on any patents or copyrights...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aksd:
Ofcourse, but they cannot stop support altogether. As it is they're in a mess due to the copyright infringement scandal, would they want to loose potential future customers by not supporting their products, when they can. I understand if the ruling said they cant, but it does'nt, so lack of support would indicate that they're not reliable, which of course they cannot afford.

On another note, what support would Qualcomm anyway have to give?:D , the driver issue is on the part of HTC as far as we know. Also the video drivers are independant of the Qualcomm Vs Broadcomm fued which is related only to the 3G/HSDPA implementation. I'm not sure but I remember reading that the graphics implementton is based on ATi?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shantzg001:
Actually the ruling is quite complex. Right now, in its present form, it means that only 1x/evdo devices can be supported for now (till the sunset period) but not any umts devices.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xp3riaXpr3ss:
Dear friends, for those who are on Nougat we all know how frustrating it can be to have to reapply a custom theme everytime after reboot. If you only want one theme installed and ready for use, instruction set (A) - which is similar to what you can find on most theme threads - is good enough. For those want to have multiple themes installed to be switched at will and stick after reboot, Set (B) is for you.

Instructions for rooted devices only.

(A) To install a single custom theme:

1. Download and install theme1.apk

2. Download and install Solid Explorer or any file manager with root access.

3. Navigate to Root/data/overlays.

4.Open preferences folder and delete all files.

5.Open trialjson folder, cut and paste theme1.json in userjson folder.

6. Reboot device.

7.Apply theme1 in Samsung Themes.

(B) To add multiple custom themes (rinse and repeat):

8. Repeat steps 1-6

9. Open Samsung Themes.

10. Reapply theme1 (currently in use)

11. Apply new theme2

12. Reboot and confirm (optional)

In pictures,

Screenshot A - reboot after theme2 installed.

Screenshot B - theme1 reapplied.

Screenshot C - reboot after theme3 installed.

Screenshot D - theme2 reapplied.

You would have noticed by now whenever you reboot the device right after installing a new theme (from theme2 onwards), Samsung default theme is auto-selected (bug issue?).

All said and done, please try and let me know if it works for you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xp3riaXpr3ss:
Tested on Helios 7.5.1 this time...The collection grows... :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] MitoTakatori:
Just for clarification, let's say I will be installing 3 themes from [MENTION=2048476]vukandric[/MENTION], do I have to install them 1 by 1 then do the process after each installation, or I can install them all together, then do the process? And do I have to be in the default theme to apply the non store theme?

---------- Post added at 11:22 ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 ----------

No dice at mine, mate. Installed AGold2 and won't stick. Don't know what might be the problem. Running SuperMan-Rom v2.1
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xp3riaXpr3ss:
[MENTION=5357852]MitoTakatori[/MENTION], what I did was to install each theme one by one. After that, I do not have to do anything further. I just need to apply whatever theme I want w/o any worries.

Did you reapply existing theme before applying new theme? It's a 2-step after reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] MitoTakatori:
You mean reapply the theme I was on before I installed another? If that's it, yes I did reapply. So after installing theme1.apk, doing the steps you mention, then install theme2.apk, steps again?

---------- Post added at 11:56 ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 ----------

As per checking, it seems that the default theme is being loaded after every reboot by an unknown script/command. As in userjson folder, it is the one with the latest date. It maybe due to the ROM I am using though. Gonna check it with [MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xp3riaXpr3ss:
For theme2.apk, do exactly the same as you did for theme1.apk, which is to install, delete/move files and reboot. After reboot, reapply theme1 BEFORE applying theme2. Likewise for theme3, reapply theme 2 before applying theme3.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xp3riaXpr3ss:
Default theme being loaded after every reboot happens to me on Helios rom too. Reapply current theme first, then apply new theme straight away. It appears to be a Nougat bug or changes to Theme editor, not a rom-specific one.

Edit: Gonna try the same on MM. This may not only be affecting Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] MitoTakatori:
I see. This makes it clearer. So in DQB7, the bug or whatever it is, is still there. Thanks for the guide mate. Gonna try again from start, I will be deleting all 3rd party themes first. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xp3riaXpr3ss:
It's still there, and imo whatever it is, it points to the theme editor. Whether intentional or not, anybody's guess. The best way to clear everything is to delete entire root/data/overlays folder, then check and delete all remaining theme folders inside root/data/apps. With TiBU, I simply uninstalled all theme apks and related files.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] MitoTakatori:
Samsung sucked the hump again with the themes. Anyways if some good soul manage to get the latest theme editor exe and shared it here, we will be having no problems with it.

I just uninstalled using TiBu. Thanks for the help mate! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xp3riaXpr3ss:
Glad to help and hope it works for you. It should :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] MitoTakatori:
I don't know how to solve it now but, followed every step, uninstalled/reinstalled 3rd party themes, repeat everything; still no theme sticking after boot. It's really ticking me off now. I don't know what causes it! All theme from store applies well, sticks after boot, but NOT any 3rd party ones. I already reported something on SuperMan-Rom thread just to make an appeal to my good friend Luca. Any news on any other ROM having this severe issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xp3riaXpr3ss:
I have not tested on Superman (perhaps I will). Only just did the same for my other phone - Note 5 (Nemesis Nougat S7E port v2.5.1) and it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] MitoTakatori:
I think this will be sorted on next SuperMan Rom release, as I already reported it. Luca is one hell of a great dev. So now sticking on Samsung store themes. Bummer. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] alitaleb121@gmail.com:
You saved my days..thanks alot...the secret is that you have to apply the new theme and then reapply it once again...then reboot ....works great
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] amour9999:
Mate where are the links?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xp3riaXpr3ss:
No, you dun have to download anything. Just follow the steps (for multiple themes) in OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] envy~:
its not a bug, you delete all the files inside "preferences" folder and reboot that's why your system thinks you're on the default theme, just re-apply your theme even though you think you're already using it.

Simple instruction for multiple custom themes (theory) :

-download and install all your custom themes (don't apply yet and wait for the toast notification "installation complete" on each theme)

-just apply one of any themes you install.

-before your 5min trial expires move fast and delete all files inside preferences folder and transfer (CUT & paste) ALL the .json files inside trialjson folder to userjson folder and reboot.

-re/apply any of the themes you install.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BackCheck:
OK, here I go. I started this for self edification and to get my Version V20 on a stable kernel with no static on boot. I started out with the open source from LG for the VS995, in this case 10b. I figured this would be the best starting point and it seemed to work well. From there added what was missing from other kernels that I needed. I figured I'd share the results. I may add more features, governors, I/O schedulers, KCAL possibly, etc. at a later date. I'll take feature requests but the goal is to keep it simple and stable and I'm not much above a novice when it comes to tinkering with the kernel so bear with me.

I don't plan on supporting other variants and don't know if this kernel would work on any other variants.

Features so far:

No static on boot.

exFAT support

LZ4 kernel compression

Remove verifiedbootstate flag patch

KCAL support

Noop, Deadline, CFQ, FIOPS, SIO, BFQ and Zen I/O schedulers

Cubic, Reno, BIC, DCTCP, Westwood, Highspeed, Hybla, HTCP, Vegas, Scalable, LP, Yeah and Illinois TCP congestion control algorithms

ElementalX, Blu_active CPU governors

Adrenoboost (from [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION])

RCTD, CCMD, and Triton removal (based off of the script from [MENTION=7055541]Zacharee1[/MENTION])

WireGuard VPN

Changelog

V1.4 3/5/18

Added WireGuard (thanks (again) to [MENTION=4955555]poixninja[/MENTION] for this one)

V1.3 - 12/8/17

Added Adrenoboost GPU boost

Added RCTD, CCMD and Triton removal script to installer

V1.2 - 3/29/17

Added ElementalX and Blu_active CPU governors

V1.1 - 2/28/17

Added FIOPS, SIO, BFQ and Zen I/O schedulers

Added DCTCP, Westwood, Highspeed, Hybla, HTCP, Vegas, Scalable, LP, Yeah and Illinois TCP congestion control algorithms

Added KCAL support (thanks to [MENTION=4955555]poixninja[/MENTION] for this one)

V1.0 - 2/14/17

Initial release

Note on installing: I recomment using TWRP 3.2.0-0 for the vs995 to install this kernel. The 3.1.1-0 version generic 'elsa' release does not work for flashing some custome kernels, including this one. TWRP 3.0.2-1 for the us996 will also work.

Wow! Glad to see someone doing this! I am currently using the konverged kernel just because of how well managed it is and what It has. Im unsure if its possible, but do you mind looking at what it has and see if you could port those things to this kernel? I have no knowledge of how to do this or id already have done it. The battery life itself makes that kernel amazing. But it has the static boot :/

Edit- I'll most likely test it here soon! Currently can't but I'll get to it xD
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] viper_1315:
Wow good job man, I'll test it out and see whats up. Thanks

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

Ok just flashed it to my phone, but now my phone wont boot up.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BackCheck:
If there is any difference it may be in some core control code. See if you can give me some sort of ballpark guess at how much of a difference there is between the two and I'll look into if I can implement it.

It works on 3 V20s I've tested it on so this is the first failure I've encountered. I guess we'll start with the basics. What screen does it die on? Are you on a VS995 or another variant? What rom are you using, I've only had stock to test?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Lumince:
Well I'm just meaning the things that is has implemented into it. I couldnt even give you a ballpark guess on how different they are sadly. I have no idea how to edit kernels for that matter. If its too much trouble then idk xD Sorry for bothering you then lol
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BackCheck:
I'll certainly look into it and do what I can. I'm also looking at I/O schedulers and possibly governors to get better battery life/performance but my goal is to make sure I don't break anything. I'm learning a lot on the fly here so be patient. Battery life seems OK so I don't want to jump into things too quickly. I only had my device and 2 others briefly to test it on and then I'm pretty sure there is a lot that hasn't been tested.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Lumince:
Yea no worries! The konverged kernel might have those. I get like 16+ on debloated and greenify governing and 12+ without it so it must have something like what you are looking for. Currently I have a VS996 on Weta US996 with the konverged kernel. So I will test this one out as soon as possible.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] thrgk:
So no static on boot ? Just flash via twrp?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BackCheck:
Yes to both. Due to the one report of it not booting I would make sure you have a backup on hand.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Lumince:
Do you by any chance have su hide flashed? I had the same thing occur to me while updating my kernel and rom. If su hide was installed and the kernel got changed, it would refuse to boot. Just a suggestion if you do have it installed, I advise to uninstalling it first.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] viper_1315:
Ok so not sure if i did something wrong but for some reason this kernel wouldn't boot up for me. I was on NRD90M Modded NotSoStock Rom for the vs995 with the Konverged Kernel. I did a clean flash and restored my backup from TWRP and reflashed the new kernel but no dice. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

Yeah I do have SU hide installed. I'll try deleting it. Thanks
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Lumince:
Su Hide repacks your boot.img (kernel) so half of it would be installed and the system wouldnt be able to boot properly. So installing a new kernel with su hide already installed will just cause a bootloop.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] viper_1315:
Just removed SU hide, and reflashed booted up with no static screen. Thanks again. Now to try this baby out.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Lumince:
You should be able to reflash su hide! Just make sure to uninstall it before switch to another kernel!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] KittySparkles:
I sure hope you go the long-haul on developing this kernel. VS995 sorely needs some love lol
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] repsol_23:
+1 to that!!!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BackCheck:
Thanks for helping troubleshoot this. I have not had time to test and root cloaking although I was asked to put in the patch to bypass the SafetyNet CTS test by a friend who hasn't reported if it even worked or not. It's on my list of things to try, I'd like to use Android Pay, but I have other things I want to get to first.

In for a penny in for a pound as I always say... or at least when I'm using a fake accent to try to pick up chicks. Anyway, I own a V20 and will probably have the device for a while. Unless something happens to it or other developers can put more effort into it, I'll do what I need to to get my device to work as I want it. Beyond that I am open to suggestions.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dwertz:
By chance have you seen anything missing in the kernel preventing Wi-Fi calling? Mine says Wi-Fi calling is on but when you place the phone in airplane mode and turn on Wi-Fi it says can not make call in airplane mode.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BackCheck:
I believe you just need to go back into your settings and re-enable wifi, airplane mode disables it by default. I tested wifi calling this way was tested and it should work fine.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dwertz:
I have done that, I turn on airplane mode, turn on wifi and try to make a call and it says it can not call in airplane mode. Stock it would make the call and show its in WiFi calling
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] drbveb88:
Your right. But the vibration does it 100% of the time if the phone is plugged in when you reboot.

If you don't have it plugged in, the vibration on start up rarely happens.

My experiences are with 995 only.

I installed this, the phone is sooooo much snappier. Thanks a ton!

I know this is for the 995, but has anyone tried flashing it on a 997? Would LOVE the other governors on my Sprint model...

Edit: backed up everything, wiped cache and dalvic, and flashed 1.2

No static

Just took a bit rebuilding dalvic on boot

Wi-Fi calling works

MMS works

YouTube works

and all the new governors are available

Will report back later if something explodes XD

Good work :D
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BackCheck:
Thanks for the test. I think if wifi calling works your pretty much safe and nothing should explode. I may update the OP to let people know that there is no known issues with the LS997.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DrJPepper:
I know someone else already tried it but just to corroborate: don't flash this on an AOSP ROM (ie lineage). Was kind of a pain to revert, had a lot of issues restoring my TWRP backup (although that's probably on their end).
