If you want better battery life but a laggy phone use xceed 7a, if you want a super smooth phone but worse battery life use xceed 7n. Stock is ok too but xceed gives more. However try them yourself it depends on your usage.
[G3 Android Development] cashcows:
This Rom includes version 8. Any thoughts on using it?
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Hello never encrypted my phone. Can't really help but maybe root causes some issues.

Well bld8f is also good. You need to try and see what work best for you. Same as the answer above - bld7a throttle at 70C and it can get quite laggy because CPU frequencies are lower. When bld7n (or newer) throttle min. CPU frequency is 1728MHz. That can cause worse battery life or overheating but your phone won't lag and it will be smooth. I personally find that a fair trade because difference in SOT is around 15-20 minutes.

Also I used stock kernel last week until yesterday. To be honest it's not that bad. Didn't get any overheating or big lags. Of course it's smoother with Xceed but I liked it. Again battery was the same for me.

Hello [MENTION=4688478]MESA[/MENTION] . Is there a way to have the lg weather app on this rom?
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Yes. Don't select Extreme Debloat in aroma installer and it will work.
[G3 Android Development] zotorux:
Please how can I get pass this wizard setup force close? I just installed the 2.8 on VS985 and I'm just stucked on the setup wizard FC.

Please any solution yet?
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Try this and tell me if it works.

1. If you select Setup Wizard in aroma and install it:

- Go to Settings -> Apps -> 3 dots menu -> Show System -> find Setup Wizard. Select Permissions and enable them.

2. Don't select Setup Wizard in aroma installer.

3. Can someone tell me if this Setup Wizard creates multi-user because maybe that's the problem. If you remove build.prop tweak for multi-user maybe it will work.
[G3 Android Development] zotorux:
Thanks for your reply.

If I select Setup wizard in aroma the phone doesn't even boot into the main system like after the loading of apps (from 1-174) it just bring out the force close message so there's no way I can get into settings to check the permissions.

If I don't select the same thing happens with an additional error like that saying I didn't select Setup wizard blah blah blah (it appears so fast)
[G3 Android Development] jlb1959.01:
Same here,I said that 2 weeks ago.I stayed with the previous build and have no issues at all.
[G3 Android Development] Geocfu1:
First of all GREAT WORK! Second, i get no UCI support in synapse. Should i flash UKM?
[G3 Android Development] AliBD80:
Thanks!
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
So. Let's try this: After you flash Clean ROM 2.8 for VS985, flash this zip from the attachments. It removes build.prop lines for multi-user.

Nothing is changed regarding this case. If you have a working zip share the updater-script file so I can check it. In 2.8 Setup Wizard is only added in aroma installer, nothing else.

Well you need to have Xceed kernel for this.
[G3 Android Development] Geocfu1:
I thought that the ROM comes pre bundled with Xceed. Am i wrong?
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Only for D855, D852, D851 and D850. You also need root of course.
[G3 Android Development] Geocfu1:
The thing is that my phone is the D855 and i have magisk working. What seems to be the issue here? i downloaded and flashed this version https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291700563
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Download D855 (30G) zip from OP. You downloaded the all variants zip(stock kernel). I included D855 because that is the latest base by LG.
[G3 Android Development] jlb1959.01:
Will try in hour,when I get home,thanks for ur help!!
[G3 Android Development] Geocfu1:
Oh, ok thanks. Also, the stock kernel is REALLY GOOD. I got only 2,5 hours of SoT but the experience is fluid af. Is this the case also with xceed?
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Note: if you flash the vs985_test zip, you need to have Setup Wizard installed from aroma.

Well yes, I was also happy with stock kernel in terms of smoothness. With xceed 7n or newer it's even smoother.
[G3 Android Development] Geocfu1:
Sweet! Again thank you for the great work. It is reallyt stable. Keep it up!
[G3 Android Development] Geocfu1:
[MENTION=4688478]MESA[/MENTION] do you recommend the latest Xceed kernel? (18 of June 2017)
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
I find it quite good yes. It has some new stuff from OP3 xceed kernel. I use 7n, 8f and Latest. All of them are good for me.
[G3 Android Development] netookska05:
I flashed your latest rom for the vs985 I had no problems whatsoever. I don't select the extreme debloat in aroma I figure if I don't want any other app that's still there I'll remove it with solid explorer. I do select to install setup wizard. Once installed and upon reboot I was prompted to sign-in to Google jus like any other rom.
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Very strange. So I guess it's not from the disabled multi-user. Flashing latest 2.8 works for you. Don't know what's wrong.
[G3 Android Development] netookska05:
Your rom is already debloated alot. I would just remove the extreme debloat option from the rom completely. Make it a separate flashable mod. I just remembered if they don't install the email the setup wizard will have errors. This happened on your first release of your rom. So they need to make sure email is selected on install without errors.
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
It's already optional. No need to remove it. Don't like the idea for the flashable zip, I need to upload 5 different zips.
[G3 Android Development] netookska05:
Ok just have them make sure they install email and the setup wizard and it'll work fine.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Reinstall and make sure to select email and setup wizard will work.
[G3 Android Development] zotorux:
The zip file didn't help either. Still the same result.

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

I tried this method but it didn't solve the FC issues.
[G3 Android Development] netookska05:
What are you selecting on aroma? I'm on the rom right now I'll wipe and reflash to check what I'm all selecting.
[G3 Android Development] zotorux:
I tried this method but it didn't solve the FC issues.

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------

LG health, LG email (as you advised) LG Smart cleaner, Setup wizard, Google search widget, I selected everything in mods, then magisk and sound boost.
[G3 Android Development] netookska05:
I just reflashed and selected everything including drivers June version only and reboot, rom booted up fine, setup wizard came up signed into my Google account no problem whatsoever. Perhaps you have a bad download. Do you have any errors in twrp when the rom is installing?
[G3 Android Development] jlb1959.01:
Vs985 still no wizzard..
[G3 Android Development] Kazelone:
LG smart notice's tell me "app required" when I try to select location for the weather app but when I click okay to download it, it doesn't do anything. Anyone know what's the required app so I can install it manually?
[G3 Android Development] zotorux:
No errors whatsoever tho during flashing. I don't think it's bad download. Let me just reflash selecting everything.
[G3 Android Development] jlb1959.01:
I've refreshed adding everything and makes no difference,I've downloaded from op, as well as AFH, so it's not the app..glad you got it however,I've heard 4 other people so I know it's not a fluke,on previous build the exact same thing happened with the wizzard issue,not a big deal as I'm on the previous 2.8 build and it's working fine..
[G3 Android Development] zotorux:
Thanks a lot mate. All worked fine by selecting every option in aroma.

Something I wanna inquire tho how can I get hotspot to work cuz I'm not using a verizon simcard.
[G3 Android Development] netookska05:
Your welcome. Go into settings select more then select mobile hotspot. You can use that password or setup your own.
[G3 Android Development] zotorux:
Not working. Its telling me I have to use a verizon simcard in order to use mobile hotspot.
[G3 Android Development] championc:
I'm on D855 and i cannot connect to Hotspot when i turn it on. The setup is ok but i cannot see the SSID from my laptop. I am using stock kernel. I am sure this worked before - maybe an older version and xceed.

Anyone else have working Hotspot ?
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Hello. Did you selected extreme debloat? I can upload you the new weather app that LG released from my D855 if you want.

Working fine for me. Not sure what's the case for you. Try to reboot.

Anyway about the VS985 situation - I guess installing apps like Email helps for some but not for others. Maybe some app is debloated that causes this behaviour. Will investigate more when I finish my exams. :)
[G3 Android Development] danbest82:
On my spare phone, I just tried the method of selecting all the apps in aroma for installing the ROM on vs985 like suggested by [MENTION=5094222]netookska05[/MENTION] and it worked with no force closes. One of the apps must install something that allows the activation to work.
[G3 Android Development] newbuss:
Hotspot working well for me on D850
[G3 Android Development] netookska05:
Try a app from the play store.
[G3 Android Development] Kazelone:
I actually did select the extreme debloat. I usually don't want any of that stuff, then I remembered the lock-screen weather animation was pretty sweet and thought I could just install it back without having to flash again.
[G3 Android Development] zotorux:
Please which app do you advise?
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Hello. Here is Weather 4.0.16 from my D855 - https://mega.nz/#!KdkBxTaJ!3jIgILcSui_OOWkG3VHqR2XS7oaMMRHqsyqmettyf08

If this doesn't work I'll upload folders like lib and odex files.
[G3 Android Development] netookska05:
Just try any of them.
[G3 Android Development] giokspy:
How to change the sharpening value from 0?
[G3 Android Development] MESA:

Only 0 is available in Clean ROM.
[G3 Android Development] zotorux:
Thanks was able to get it working.

Please an observation on the battery life tho. Is there any sorta way you tweaking your phone to get like 3hours SOT?

I'm always on Wi-Fi and I barely maage to squeeze out 2hours SOT.
[G3 Android Development] championc:
I went from decent battery life using Xceed to Stock and it has not been good at all. I hope to re-flash this weekend and go back to Xceed.
[G3 Android Development] zotorux:
Too bad Xceed doesn't support VS985.
[G3 Android Development] netookska05:
Try solid kernel.
[G3 Android Development] pablomuro:
The best!!!

This is the best ROM I've ever installed on my LG G3 D855p.

Many thanks for this fantastic ROM.
[G3 Android Development] Kazelone:
Thanks! Works fine with the lg widget. However, the weather animations are not showing up on the lock screen :(
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Well weather animations on lockscreen is a SystemUI mod. I can share a flashable zip with it if you want [emoji2] or you can get it from the zip and replace it in /system.
[G3 Android Development] Kazelone:
Oh! I thought it was stock, but then again first thing I did when I got my cell back in the day was flashing Cloudyg3 so that makes sense.

Yeah, I'd like to have it =D

[G3 Android Development] danbest82:
Not a big deal but anyone have qmemoplus force close on launch with the vs985 2.8 version of the ROM. I use it every once in a while. I've tried replacing the apk with other versions with no luck.

Love the ROM anyway.
[G3 Android Development] David X:
Really like this rom for the battery life. One question, after typing in correct PIN, is it possible to unlock screen automatically without pressing OK? If yes, how to do this? I have checked in settings many times but couldn't find this setting. Thanks in advance.
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Don't think it's possible. Maybe Xposed can have some module but not sure.
[G3 Android Development] David X:
Thanks a lot. Some more questions:

- what kind of name for quick unlock module in Xposed?

- stock is installed, when I use Xcam lg, most of time I get green photos (complete green). What causes this? Any fix? Xcam seems taking clearer photos than the other one.

- if I want to get best battery life, what is the best choices to select during installation? I use the phone mainly for calls, messaging, no gaming etc.

Thanks in advance.
[G3 Android Development] newbuss:
Try the Xposed module called GravityBox. There might be some setting in there for quick unlock.
[G3 Android Development] David X:
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I will try that.

About how much extra battery drain will these apps normally cause? Just curiosity in case if someone noticed from experience. Thanks.
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
1. I don't know if such module even exist. But if it does, xposed is the way to go. Who knows maybe GravityBox supports it.

2. Strange. Never experienced such XCam problems. Only 4K video record is not working for me.

3. Well it depends. I see that Xceed 7a and 5e (if you have D855) has better battery life, but they can be laggy. Xceed 7n is best from both worlds. About apps and mods, I don't think they will make any big difference because the ROM doesn't include any apps that can cause battery drain.

To be honest from my personal experience with Xposed for G3 MM I can say that it slow downs the phone and it was very noticeable. Don't recommend it if you want good performance.
[G3 Android Development] David X:
Thanks a lot. I will hold on the xposed try. But xcam just takes complete green color photos. If I use the other cam app, it it normal but seems not as clear as xcam, also I can't turn off shutter sound. I installed several times, xcam alone or all 3 cam apps, same results. Only initial one or two photos are normal. Mine is D852 Telus (?). If I install Rogers instead of Telus, is it ok to try?
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Don't select Rogers in aroma. It uses different files like modem and other, that's why I don't recommend it.

From 2.7+ D852 uses Bell as ROM base. If you want pure Telus base, you need to download 2.6 Telus zip (if you want to test, but there should be no difference for XCam).

Btw does 2.8 work good for you on D852? I never received some feedback on the new versions. :)
[G3 Android Development] David X:
- what is the main difference between pure (2.6) and latest 2.8? Longer battery life? I mainly browse webs and messaging. Just need longer battery life.

- it is working flawlessly except no quick unlock and xcam issue. I really like it. Thank you very much for creating such smooth rom. Seems I will keep my G3 for a quite long time : )
[G3 Android Development] David X:
An update, I tried to re install 2.8 (select both supersu and magisk, no xcam), then install xcam zip file separately. I noticed magist is installed but supersu is not installed. Anyway now it can take photos as normal as it should be : ).

I am still not sure if 2.6 will have longer battery life and if flash 2.6 on existing 2.8 will delete my data. I will give it a try if someone can share the experience. Thanks in advance.
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Hello. Don't select magisk and supersu at the same time. I should fix that in aroma. About changes between 2.6 and 2.8 - see the changelog to see what's new. There should not be much difference in battery life, if any but I recommend clean flash if you switch between them as they have different lg base.

btw my english can be very bad, sorry for that
[G3 Android Development] David X:
If I wipe everything except data , and I do a restore selecting data only after installation of 2.6, will I get back my data (previously backed up) or not? Sorry for many questions, just to be sure. Thank you.
[G3 Android Development] danbest82:
GravityBox has the option. Haven't used it personally but it's there. I don't notice any extra drain from GravityBox myself.
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Not really sure to be honest. Never restored a backup on my G3. But I think your data will be restored.

Great. You can try it and see how it's the performance for you.
[G3 Android Development] David X:
Xposed is installed. Tried to install GB 3-4 times and always got system framework not responding. Then when it boots, it just turns off. I will search again to see where I did wrong. Thanks a lot for your information.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

I tried to restore data only, it worked. Thank you.
[G3 Android Development] championc:
Maybe you are using the wrong version of Xposed. Try these
[G3 Android Development] David X:
Thank you very much. Finally I can install GB. But quick unlock seems not working after I selected it and 4 (pin has 4 digits), and after several re boots. Maybe it is not compatible with this rom.
[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
GravityBox is definitely not designed for stock ROMs like this. Some things may work, some may not as it is designed for vanilla AOSP.

Maybe see if G3 TweaksBox has the feature you're looking for. Sort of the equivalent of GB for stock.

Hey people how can I add a language that isn't in the list of languages?
[G3 Android Development] Marcos OC:
Wow, i updated from 2.5 and the phone is way faster. Maybe it's related to the kernel, used to have latest exceed and now the 7n.

Thanks again mesa, this rom is irreplaceable.
[G3 Android Development] Emu:
Are the newer modems actually better? I'm using a D851 running Android 8.1 but I found this thread because it has the latest modems. I originally had a Lollipop modem (20G) and just flashed this modem (30G). Reception is not that great, often falls back to HSPA+ often struggles getting any reception. In comparison my Lollipop modem would always stay on LTE... hmm.

Is there any consensus on which modems are the best? I read on another page that LineageOS works best with Lollipop modems.
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
I can't do that unfortunately.[emoji20]

Glad you like it. 7n is a good one, I'm using it too.

Well I don't see a reason to use the old modem (on a stock rom). D851 bootloader is unlocked so there is no need to flash older modem to make it work. Also LineageOS must be using some kind of old sources or blobs (can't really tell you exactly, not into aosp) and that's why it requires old modem, but especially on D851 it's not necessary like on other models. That's what I think, I may be wrong but don't think so [emoji2].
[G3 Android Development] OutCold44:
I chose exceed 7n during installation and it is fast but I would like a version which is less power hungry (I don't mind the occasional lag). How can I flash a different exceed kernel (say 7a)? Do I just download and install?
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
I suggest 7a or even 5e (if you use D855). And yes download kernel, flash, flash magisk (if you use it) and you're good to go.
[G3 Android Development] OutCold44:
Just to be safe - I have to flash magisk (yes I use it) after flashing the kernel?
[G3 Android Development] MESA:
Yes. Some advices:

1. If you use Xceed and want to flash other xceed version: Flash xceed, then flash magisk.

2. If you use a kernel and want to flash other on top of it: I suggest you flash over stock kernel first. Then flash magisk.

My D855 problems in games.

Hello Thanks a lot by this rom. :)

I have a D855p installed de versión 2.8 whith the last one Xceed bld8f but I had many problems.

The phone was very hot when you wanted to play asphalt 8 for example and it got stuck at the end (only playing a game and with no applications open) even sometimes the cel restarted.

If I played Riptide 2 or Beach buggy blitz (a game if it ended but it got hotter than usual too)

I installed the stock but the phone in regular use got hotter than normal.

You will know if there is something to correct this the rom this phenomenal I would like to be able to use it.

Thank you very much. Greetings from Mexico !!!
[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
As I mentioned in the past, and I guess just in my case(?), only the Lollipop modems (20G at the moment) worked/works correctly. With any ROM from KK thru Nougat. Stock-based or AOSP/CM/LOS. 30series would not. I'd get either no data or flaky behavior. May have to do with the partitions written back when I last KDZed during an unbricking which was Lollipop 20E stock. What I had on hand at the time.

On my other, short-lived, D851 it had 30D. Other ROMs worked just fine there.

I don't know if [MENTION=5207157]Trickymaster[/MENTION] is in a similar situation. If originally coming from Marshmallow then 30G should be working fine.

[G3 Android Development] MESA:
To be honest maybe our phone is just getting old and new games require powerful gpu. I mean PvZ2 has some hiccups on my G3 and that's not so graphic intense game. About kernels - 7n and newer gets hotter but has smooth UI performance. 7a, 5e can get some lags when temps is high. Stock kernel is not bad also, I used it for some time but it's not that smooth.

Well as I think though this I got into something that bothers me: So D851 BL is unlocked and it can rock stock v30 modem with stock kernel. But all kernels out there are bumped and bump don't work with v30 modem :D So I guess the problem is from there but not sure, I may be writing stupid things but who knows :D
[G3 Android Development] Emu:
[MENTION=6046143]marcdw[/MENTION] I'm using the modem that is in Clean ROM now. Works well actually. Even lower ping for LTE! I found out what the problem was for me. My carrier does not like Google DNS. It ends up kicking me to the curb giving me a weak signal and throttled speeds. Going back to default DNS gave me all my bands back. Came from Marshmallow btw.
