[MENTION=4354534]sperelli[/MENTION]: I am using Widgetsoid. It is not available on Play Store, unfortunately, but you can get it from the developer's website http://widgetsoid.jaumard.com/uk/download. It will ask for root permissions.
[G4 Android Development] sperelli:
good old widgetsoid.... still alive and kicking! :D

thx for the hint yet i'd prefer some simpler solution aka some xposed mod. nothing working atm.
[G4 Android Development] tmihai20:
There is an Xposed module named Advanced Power Menu+ http://repo.xposed.info/module/hk.kennethso168.xposed.apmplus. There is also Advanced Power Menu [ROOT] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noxx.apm (it has a XDA thread too https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/advanced-power-menu-root-t3227214).
[G4 Android Development] sperelli:
both of them already tried and not working on (this custom) N
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
(if !) its not working its because its Not a custom N. its a stock N. More stock it can't be. I only added my script knowledge to split it to pieces and give people the power to choose what to flash.

Whats it all about ? you want to reboot to recovery ? i used to use "simple reboot" from playstore.
[G4 Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=4354534]sperelli[/MENTION]: Wdgetsoid is still working, most likely because it is running commands rather than modifying something in the system. Simple Reboot comes from FranciscoFranco, by the way. It does not replace the power menu https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=simple.reboot.com.
[G4 Android Development] Gigio755:
Someone here could disable rct in Nougat bootloader in freedom rom?

Could maybe [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] investigate about it? (There is a script in this post that could fix it)

https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-root-checker-tool-slow-performance/
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Gigi , my ROMs don't have this LG crap ;)

First of all the rct start service is in the ramdisk not in bootloader. By flashing Titan kernel it gets deleted.

Even if you don't flash Titan kernel the rct crap won't work because I have deleted the app, so the service tries on boot to start an app that's not there.

Lastly , don't believe always what you read. I don't know who writes these crap, I can assure you that there is no performance loss even if the app was there.
[G4 Android Development] Gigio755:
I thank you for your fast reply

I just did the test they suggest on the web page and

i thought i'm affected with that rctd process

, am i wrong?

i'm on Freedom 7.5 (with LG-H815_29a_Modem_and_Bootloader_no_splash) and Titan 1.5
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
..........

when i say something im not saying it just to say it.

for the sbin crap to run, it needs the start service command which is in lg init. when this sbin crap runs it needs the app in system/app.

dont ask me 3rd time the same thing.
[G4 Android Development] Gigio755:
ok thanks, it was just to leave no doubt, I did not know if I had explained it well
[G4 Android Development] deezid:
Want to try this rom instead of LOS/AOSP.

Some questions, features I don't want to miss:

- Can I skip tracks using the volume buttons?

- Can I use the awesome modified Google HDR+ app? Really brought this camera to a new life. Friends are actually asking me to take pictures, lol.

Reasons why I'm switching:

- Hoping for a better battery life.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
ye you can skip tracks.

google cam doesn't work on non google os or open source.

you can hope for a minus 10 minutes or plus 10 minutes depending the use unless you could change the screen (hardware) to amoled or LCD.
[G4 Android Development] escaper215:
Just wanted to share my G4's uptime with Freedom 7.0 before I restart the phone to complete the installation of official version of Xposed framework. Thank you [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] for this amazing, rock stable, fast and reliable ROM! Keep up the great work! ?
[G4 Android Development] tmihai20:
I ran across a new issue with this Rom. I was trying to test Knock On and I realized that Lockscreen Settings are not opening anymore. I get a "Activity is not exist this device". I tried dirty flashing the ROM with Face Unlock and most LG apps installed, but I am still getting that message. Could it be an issue with the Aroma package?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
sorry rom doesn't have any security issue. Maybe you had a mod installed before or modded rom and something is left behind in /data.

For this to be fixed it needs anything related to security and settings and lockscreen to be cleaned. This means a /data cleanup.....

Sorry......

As far as security , i know the files are in /data/system under the name gatekeeper and lock so those you can clean them in TWRP and reboot.

But the others...... i don't know all apps database filenames by heard

That modded lockscreen works when you r clean. If you clean flash and need 3tap instead , then flash it.

I never ,NEVER , do half works. I will never publish rom and a needed zip afterwards.
[G4 Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION]: I flashed the N_Only_3tap_knock_code_mod.zip mod, I thought it is needed. This zip contains a different LGLockScreenSettings_2.apk. I will dirty flash without it.

Much later edit: everything works as it should. We should not flash that mod unless something is wrong. Even Face Unlock works, I can set up Knock On (not that I will ever use Knock On).

Hi,

I have v7. What should I install to upgrade to v7.5 (which recovery, which modem/bootloader?)

Also, changelog for v7.5?
[G4 Android Development] ConradP:
Hi.

I wrote same thing on the V30 - v2.0 forum - I have problem with my camera since yesterday - it just force closing or shows feezed black screen.

I did full wipe and installed rom again -still same.

Is the camera dead or something with software.

Help, solution, ideas much appreciated.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
kdz is the most pure solution to learn if its a hardware problem.

Wait a bit until SALT is public. [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] is releasing it soon and it will make kdz flashing easy like a game.

Yeah that's what is probably happening. A mod flashing or a mod over a mod or a stock over modded conflicts with the cam.

That's why you need a kdz flash. Since you will wipe all anyway, it's better to do it using SALT soon and flash the stock nougat we have.

Yeah SALT will be able to flash that too not only kdz.

Eh, after you make sure the hardware is ok, go ahead and flash any rom you like again
[G4 Android Development] ConradP:
I just tried a different approach as I read a lot on the internet.

I installed different app via GPlay - and started i - then something like this showed up. lg g4 cant start camera is busy with other app

So I am thinking about Wipeing all: Dalvik, Cache, System, Data and the phone - from all.

Maybe some stupid app is messing in and I cant find it:(

Still not working.
[G4 Android Development] gbok:
Hi people. Just installed this Rom. Came over from LOS.

Everything working great ?

Clean install with latest modem/ bootloader & twrp.

Thanx to the dev?
[G4 Android Development] troullis2004:
Old blobs for the camera that titan kernel doesn't support. You need to flash latest firmware first. V29a. Then all camera apps will work fine.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
variant ?
[G4 Android Development] dszymek:
Sory Mate :D H815
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Yeah indeed calendar is a victim of splitting the rom to pieces.

I will check now it's dependencies.

But as I see it lg calendar will probably be removed for good if it depends a lot on other app. I can't have that here.

The rom has to be free to choose any app and not being forced to use specific apps for an app to work.

We will see in a few
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Good founding. After flashing them all i saw that LG Calendar depends on some files that i don't want to deodex for it to work.

I want to keep the rom also fully odexed for less ram usage, lag free and more secure.

Forget LG Calendar :( i'll remove it from the next build too.

[MENTION=4772246]dszymek[/MENTION], LG Calendar|Tasks Fixed.
[G4 Android Development] sirsomething:
You can add Google Calendar to Aroma installer instead
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
I know but it can be installed from playstore. The installer is already too close to 2gb. It's good that one and only lg app is not working haha!

edit:

i wish my only bug will remain in the future only that one. The LG Calendar !

If any H811 user ever has the time to tell me if LG calendar is bugged there too it'd be nice.
[G4 Android Development] dszymek:
There is one more application that does not work. "Tasks"
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Tasks is merged in LG Calendar. Both are one app.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Updated phone framework for v.3 ;)

######################################

Magisk beta still has issues. As i was informed a while ago, if we use Magisk 13 to pass safetynet , we cannot yet use modules.

But if we use the outdated Magisk 12 , we need universal safetynet fix to pass safetynet.

And do NOT update magisk on your own . The version used by me is always the most stable.

Now it does not pass safetynet until topjonhw updates magisk.

Latest magisk has bugs. Somewhere along the line of toggling magiskhide, MagiskManager is corrupting the app cache (bad data, possibly not updating, not quite sure). So if you update , magisk won't work.

I know. I am tired of this too , lately magisk has too many issues, but what can we do.....
[G4 Android Development] seetru:

You install gapps but won't sync to Gmail?

Lol.

Can't reproduce that to fix it , it's not a rom problem.
[G4 Android Development] Brandon9231:
H811 here, this build was broken for me.

KDZ'd to 20v right before flashing this alone and after the first boot only the back button worked, the home/recents buttons didn't, though oddly holding down the recents button still worked as an options button. I've had the buttons not work on me before and a reboot always fixed it but multiple reboots didn't do anything this time around. I though I just had to let the rom sit for a while and left the phone untouched for half an hour and still nothing, rebooted, and again, nothing.

I gave up on the problem fixing itself with just reboots and tried redownloading and clean flashing (both md5s checked out) and I got some kind of a weird bootloop where the screen was just black(ish) half the time I rebooted. I also had no lockscreen whenever it did boot, and the home/recents button still didn't work.

I kept trying to take a logcat during all this but I couldn't enable debugging since tapping the build number in the settings didn't unlock the dev options. I tapped EVERYTHING under about phone repeatedly and nothing enabled it, so no log? I didn't think of using a log app since I wanted to get what was causing the weird bootloop (I waited 10 minutes with a black screen before deciding it was a bootloop).

I'm back on DU for now but I want to get back on stock based for a while so I'll still be trying out new builds and reporting on them. I guess I can try a logcat app if you do need it, and I can get a log from TWRP too. Would it matter what I checked in the aroma installer? I can take note of that too next time around.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
first of all i don't know what you did wrong.

Are you on the latest bootloader and modem ? 20v ?

Then , the rom is independant , but it needs gapps. Without gapps you will only have a simple old fashion phone just like with lineage based.

Aroma choices doesn't matter since, if you don't choose the LG apps, google automatically replaces the most important ones.

For logcat you must enable in the aroma the logcat, otherwise it gets disabled.

You don't need developer options, i have adb debugging pre-ON.

I can't test it here, i'n on H815 and if there was anyone with knowledge that likes this Rom and wants to help with H811 i'd appreciate it. For now the only thing i do, when i have A LOT of time, is to brick my phone by flashing the H811 and test it. But that can't happen everyday. When i have time i'll check any issue that i have collected until that time.

For now , i know for sure that you did something wrong, ( i dont know what though ) , because one or two people that i talk a lot, are already using it successfully on their H811
[G4 Android Development] Brandon9231:
Lol old fashion is what I was going for, but with a better camera.

I'd just refurbished via kdz to 20v so everything's up-to-date there. I left on the logcat option too, but I coughed up my PC not seeing my phone as debugging not being on, probably my divers then. I didn't install gapps though, the only ones I had on my SD card were beans gapps, and they don't work on MM. I'll try again with open gapps then
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
please consider always following the OP of the rom you are flashing.

I got already in the trouble to flash h811 (using h815 kernel , cust and build.prop) , flashed core gapps and it boot just fine.........................

Anyway, that's ok. i'll just check and see why developer options don't turn on with this chance, so it's not for nothing.

For the last time,

G4 is dead and we are only a few people left in the world that still use it. Developing in this phone is also hard because h811 and h815 and all those other variants are different in something, it's not the same phone, so devs are splitted and can't work all together.

One or two have to do all the work. Genesix did the hardest part though and second in my opinion (if not 1st) steadfasterx who had to develop twrp for so many different variants.

Anyway, always follow the op please , don't add the devs extra work !
[G4 Android Development] Diginix:
At the moment I'm still on stock LG 5.1 with locked bootloader. And I have some question, that the first post and thread search doesn't answer enough for me.

Are these steps correct for installing Freedom ROM with latest Modem+Bootloader?

- unlock bootloader (I have all what I need)

- install TWRP recovery_3.1.1-1_b14_modded.img

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot recovery_3.1.1-1_b14_modded.img

- flash Freedom_OS_H815_v7.5.zip

- flash LG-H815_29a_Modem_and_Bootloader_no_splash.zip

Or do I have to flash Nougat Modem+Bootloader before the ROM?

What else?

What is the best stock LG camera app for Nougat (maybe a port of another LG device)?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
No. Fastboot boot is to boot to TWRP not to flash it. Also boot command is disabled in our nougat LG bootloader.

Replace that with flash recovery recovery.img .

The order to flash the firmware doesn't matter because I haven't added any restriction. But you have to flash it.

Camera quality depends on blobs together with device tree and sources. So quality is the same. Only the UI changes from LG cam app to LG cam app.

Though , because some people eyes are hallucinating , you are going to read far too many opinions about several LG cam apps.

[G4 Android Development] 99mike199:
Wireless Charging

Does someone knows why wireless charging doestn work with this ROM? I don´t wanna stock ROM but still want wireless charging.
[G4 Android Development] Diginix:
Oh, this is very important for me as well! I plan the installation for upcoming weekend.

Which kernel do you use? And did you install the latest bootloader+modem?
[G4 Android Development] escaper215:
Wireless charging works perfectly for me.
[G4 Android Development] Diginix:
Are the GApps included in the Aroma installer or does I need to download and install separately?

If I need it, which one and from where?
[G4 Android Development] ufocus:
GApps are Included, you can choose whatever you want to install in aroma. Please read the OP before doing something wrong.
[G4 Android Development] ConradP:
Do you mean that I should install this? [ROM][H815] H-ROM G4 NOUGAT [v29a] by Astrako?

I will do clean wipe and check does it help?

The weirdest thing now is the selfie camera works great when I use some Selfie apk.
[G4 Android Development] ConradP:
Ok. So I did a full clean, internal all - then installed the v29a [ROM][H815] H-ROM G4 NOUGAT [v29a].

After all booted up the camera was working again. So I did few pictures and it was again great. After few hours have passed I decided to check is all ok.

And BOOM - again same sh...t with the camera.

What am I missing in here? Anyone?

Should I try to go back to MM?
[G4 Android Development] Diginix:
On 24th. Nov I've download LG-H815_29a_Modem_and_Bootloader_no_splash.zip with date 20th. Nov and 75 MB.

Now there is an older one on the androidfilehost server from 1st. Sep. but it has 111 MB.

Inside there is one file more "laf.bin". All other stuff seems to be identical.

Which one is the best and correct one for updating from stock Android 5.1 to Freedom 7.5?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
it had no laf partition to be compatible with steadfasterX SALT.

it doesnt matter any more if there is nougat laf or not.

It was fine. Don't think about it
[G4 Android Development] Diginix:
But in the now available older file the laf partition is included. Why is the file from 20th. Nov deleted at androidfilehost?

This suggest me, that it was a bad one. That's why I'm asking. If it doesn't matter, it is ok and I will use the bootloader without laf.
[G4 Android Development] TOMPPIX:
Is 4g+ working with this rom?

Still haven't figured out why it's not working for me.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
works 100%. its depended on the provider side mostly and less modem side (hardware).

there are times where my op3t can have + but g4 not.
[G4 Android Development] joriq:
I am using this rom for 2 months or so, all nice and well. I just upgraded from v20d, I did not install v20p or v29 stock rom, so should I flash LG-H815_29a_Modem_and_Bootloader_no_splash.zip ?
[G4 Android Development] ufocus:
No need to flash whole stock ROM, just modem and bootloader.
[G4 Android Development] joriq:
and it will not erase anything, unroot the phone or create some other problems and issues?
[G4 Android Development] yobooh:
I've let my battery to drain until the phone shuts down... For two times has happened that on reboot the phone had a factory reset.

It never happened with stock rom. There is a fix to this?

PS using Freedom+Titan kernel
[G4 Android Development] ufocus:
It won't. The only thing you'll notice is when you restart there's a big warning sign that your bootloader is unlocked, it's all ok and nothing to worry about. Make a backup before you attempt in doing ANYTHING! Just to be sure you can go back to a working state.
[G4 Android Development] IoIam:
It happens to me on every rom, also stock, I don't know what to do
[G4 Android Development] Diginix:
Somehow I lost root. But if I re-install Freedom and select it in Aroma it doesn't work.

How can I re-root the ROM?

And is it possible to switch from SuperSU to Magisk?

Edit: Flashed Magisk and got root again. But if I install Xposed via recovery I got only a black screen after boot animation and the notification LED is blinking blue. But nothing more happens.

So, I will try to wipe data and system and reflash ROM again.

Edit2: I guess it will be necessary to start from scratch. But what is the best way?

I came from LP 5.1 and the about software screen says even in Freedom "v10d" instead of v29a.

Is it helpful to flash the stock Nougat 7.0 TOT file with LGUP or does this change nothing and a full wipe in TWRP would lead to the same result?
[G4 Android Development] raptorddd:
i suggest to KDZ using LGUP to latest MM for your variant then you can flash this rom not sure if N bootloader needs to be flash . check it out if you do. or if you must use stock N and already has it then wipe and flash rom make sure phone is cool have a fan so it doesnt overheats during all this processes.

for root yes you can use either but magisk needs to run the ununstaller. i use superSU so am not sure but yes you can change from magisd to superSU also flashing new kernel removes root after flashing kernel flash root method magisk or superSU.
[G4 Android Development] yobooh:
To me happens when on really low battery (2%) and charging with a not good charger...it shut down while in charge and when reboot it almost factory reset, leaving apps but not working. (Tried 3 times to replicate the problem)

I never had this issue before i rooted with stock MM 6.0.

Could be a recovery problem?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Recovery is an environment where we flash, backup, wipe.

If an app is not the cause then it could be a flashable mod or magisk.
[G4 Android Development] Diginix:
But does it make really a difference whether I flash a MM KDZ or Nougat TOT file before I install Freedom+Nougat Bootloader if I'm coming from LP 5.1?

What parts/mounts of the G4 are not perfect without KDZ/TOT flash?
[G4 Android Development] raptorddd:
i dont know on h815. but on h811 not KDZ from 20o to 20p would give camera error and sound error. its upto you.
[G4 Android Development] ivanwarhammer:
Works for me . Tested with app speedtest and transfer was 80-100 Mbit. Sign on top was allways just 4G. On stock 6.0 was 4G+
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Don't think about it ;) the one without laf is not needed anymore.

All users should take the linked one including the laf as I was able to fix the issues with the nougat laf for SALT.
