How do you rooted the phone and still get updated until feb 2019 update? My phone still at first oreo, and I'm curious how to keep it up to date.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sniper9911:
Flash the zip files for roms from xda forms for the lgv20 the last one was april 2019 as i remember as i have upgraded my phone to pocophone f1

Anyone have a copy of the original unmodified stock thermal-engine-8996.conf file? I did a search of the thread and found a post asking for it, but I didn't see a reply. I unfortunately didn't save my original. I'm on a US 996 variant. My phone heats up like the sun (for example, when the camera is on). I've changed the thermal paste and that doesn't seem to help (I guess no surprise because there really isn't a heat sink of any sort for the thermal paste to really do its job). Anyway, my last resort is perhaps I picked a too aggressive thermal-engine-8996.conf mod. I'd like to simply return to stock to see if that solves my temperature problems.

thanks!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] khtr98:
You can search Gamma stock thermal engine. It might help :)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] clemdaddy:
Thanks for the reply. When I search for that I find instances of the thermal-engine file, but they don't look like stock. They all have "mod" in the name. And when I do a diff between their default thermal-engine file and my default thermal-engine file, they don't match. Since I never modified the default one, that certainly is stock.

I'll keep searching!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Parasol_Monsters:
Attached is the default thermal-engine-8996.conf file for the US996 variant.

It seems to be encoded/encrypted to non human readable format.

You can confirm this by extracting it from the stock rom here or the stock kdz here.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] clemdaddy:
Thanks, BUT, I'm wondering if that will work. My understanding is if you delete that file, it will revert to the default one. So in this case where it is perhaps encrypted or unreadable by the phone, I won't be able to tell if the phone defaulted to the default thermal.

There is a good lesson for me to be learnt here - I shouldn't have deleted the original!! :crying:
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] clemdaddy:
I did what you suggested and extracted from flashable zip. When I retrieved it, it was in the usual readable format. Thanks for responses. I've also attached the file in case anyone else is interested.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Parasol_Monsters:
Really? What software did you use to extract the file?

I always used to mount system.bin as a raw image since it was the easiest way for me, and that was the file that I got out of it.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] clemdaddy:
It's seems (at least in my case) system.bin is merely a container (zip container?) of files as opposed to an actual binary file. I simply right clicked it and told 7zip to extract the bin file. When 7zip was done I had a folder on my desktop with all the files that were encased in the system.bin file.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Parasol_Monsters:
It is definitely not a zip file, you can test this renaming it to zip and trying to enter it. I tried to extact thermal-engine-8996.conf with 7zip and still got the same file I did before.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] clemdaddy:
Yep! You are correct. In the link you gave (with the list of zip firmwares), I avoided US99620f.zip because of the note about encryption. But when I saw that none of the other links worked, I resorted to downloading F. When I saw it would take several minutes to download, I remembered I had download a flashable zip a day or so prior. So I ended up using that one.

Oh course, I no longer have that zip file (I had promptly deleted it after I extracted the themal file). And now I can't find where I downloaded it :(.

Anyway, today I went ahead and downloaded US99620f.zip from the link you sent, and sure enough, when I extract it, it is in a similar binary file as yours. Is must be encrypted?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Parasol_Monsters:
Encoded probably, you can see this when opening in a hex editor. Encrypted would be totally random.

Hello is it possible for someone to make a kdz for the h990ds with the throttling mod? I have an h990ds bootloader locked. Would I be able to flash the modded kdz through lgup? My software version is v20b-ind-xx. Thanks
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IronGearGaming:
Does this make a stock/ROM LG V20 run cooler than without it? Im looking for all the ways I can keep my phone cooler in both casual and gaming use.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chinhnguyen000:
Hi. please tell me how to open the file and editing the value
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ice Fire:
Areyou sure you want to edit stuff in there if you dont know how to edit the file in the first place.

Anyways you should be able to do that with any text editor be it the editor notepad++ or the total commanders internal text manager.

Edit: I just looked at your other messages. Is your phone rooted yet?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chinhnguyen000:
My phone is rooted already. but there files on my phone is encrypted . I thought everyone had a way to decrypt it but I searched for a few days and still didn't find the answer
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ice Fire:
Individual files that are encrypted, or the complete data partition. There is a zip that can auto decrypt your data partition befor you start the device for the first time but it sounds like you already did that.

What i am not understanding is why you would need to modify the bulid.prop to fix a encryption problem.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poixninja:
Any chance of making this a magisk module for us magisk users? Seems one file would be pretty simple and would remove the need to reflash on system updates, as long as magisk is installed
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] amoot329:
I have the T-Mobile version, running MegaRom. I don't really have issues with this slow charging with screen on, still fast charges for me. Did check out the file myself and changed the Kyro ss value manually. Restarted phone, so far so good. Haven't noticed much change yet. Most games I play probably won't push the thermal limit?! (DragonSoul, Underworld Empire, Word Cookies and Shortyz))
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kuachi00:
good work ! thank you. btw iam experiencing gpu frequency drop when playing games could you also do something to set the minimum gpu freq thank you
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KUSOsan:
Oddly enough WETA was most affected by this out of the ROMs that I've tried for the H918. V4 of MEGAROM did not slow down at all even when baked in the sun in my car while charging and heavy usage but unfortunately for whatever reason the V4 screws up the GPS for a lot of people with the H918 models and I was one of them. It still charged painfully slow with the screen on but it didn't throttle to the point of being unusable. I don't remember how completely stock firmware did as I didn't have a fast charger back when I 1st got this phone, but regardless I thank you for this mod!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KUSOsan:
What's a good halfway point for the frequency if I want to throttle just because it can get pretty hot where I'm at? Is there a specific number to put in or do I just add whatever number I want?

Kinda want to try finding the best minimum frequency value where the system doesn't lag but still keeps the phone temp down a bit
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
I've noticed a bit more battery drain since using the file, but I'm not sure if it's the signal at work or not so I'll keep doing some testing this weekend and I'll update.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] amoot329:
I am guessing you would only multiply the speed you need by 1,000.

You would have to try different speeds to see where the system won't lag for you. Since the original value is 1036800 (1036Mhz). Try 1593400 (1593Mhz) for a midway value.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KUSOsan:
Thanks I was just trying to be more specific in that over the years I've noticed that devices tend to have frequency tables and I've noticed sometimes if you put a frequency number in that isn't supported it can brick stuff (not necessarily talking about smartphones but just tech devices in general) so was just making sure before I start throwing numbers in there and breaking stuff.

Thanks for the 1593 value. That's around where I was looking to start if I do run into heat issues
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] amoot329:
Here is a list of the supported(?!) CPU speeds taken from Kernel Adiutor. Could try one of those maybe.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
I have already edited it so gpu throttling is minimal. Which app are you using to monitor the gpu freq? It really shouldn't throttle until the cpu is above 70c+
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
Someone earlier in the thread was planning to do this. I'm unsure of how to do it even though I am using magisk as well.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dimm0k:
that was me... if any wants to test it go ahead, otherwise I'll confirm it works or not tonight...
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poixninja:
Just tried it, seems to work perfectly, thank you
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] storm68:
I did it without the module. Works fine. I don't see why you'd need a module anyway. I do all without them. On h918

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Killua96:
[MENTION=1278182]Holyman007[/MENTION] do you think this mod would be compatible with the G6? I can provide the thermal conf file if needed, i'm asking this because a lot of users (me included) that sometimes the charging speed is very low...

Thanks in advance for the attention!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
Im guessing you're asking if it works for it? No idea. Check the thermal conf file for your phone.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
I can take a look at it if you upload it. I won't be able to test it though.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Killua96:
Thanks, which file di you need? I've three regarding the thermal engine:

- thermal-engine-8996.conf

- thermal-engine-default.conf

- thermal-engine.conf

All of them are in system/etc
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
Should be the 8996 one. What's the reported charge rate for when its "slow" charging?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Killua96:
According to ampere 500mA in my case

Here is the file
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
I did quick edit. Let me know if it works. I also increased wireless charging a little bit but it maxes out at 900mah anyways.

Replace and set permissions (rw-r--r--) and you should be good to go.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Killua96:
Thanks, i'll test it for few days and give the file to other that want to test :good:
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
does this fix the lag when the phone gets low on battery? usually around 20 percent or so my phone starts lagging out hard and I've got the mod installed and it's still lagging bad.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mdk_58:
Does fix the problem of phone freezing up from time to time?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Still_living714:
Flashed this two days ago and I can definitely see the lag gone. Can I make a request for extreme temperature throttling zip? Here in California the summer heat ? is making my phone lag and I would like the phone not to be throttled.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rajeev:
Same here.. LG software optimization is so bad
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xlionheartx:
Thanks for doing this Holyman007!

Has anyone seen any improvements on playing PokemonGo using this fix?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
I don't think it does that. I'm running the mod and it's still laggy as hell at low battery, and i don't use battery optimizations. this phone would be so much better with better software... faster screen wake, no slowdown etc. the phone is plenty capable and cmon, it's an LG not a Samsung.. shouldnt be lagging here!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rajeev:
Yea.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KUSOsan:
I know this sounds like a sketchy magic fix app but I've been running it for about a week now since I read about it in one of the forums on XDA and I've noticed a difference in overall snappiness after setting it on the basic free speed option. Especially power on from sleep. Its not a night and day difference but battery life hasn't taken a noticeable hit and although my phone does still slow down occasionally switching back and forth between a lot of apps it has definitely helped alleviate the random sluggishness on my H918 running 10k firmware.

I believe it changes settings on boot and it has to change everytime on a reboot so nothing in the system gets permanently changed so if it doesn't work all you do is uninstall and reboot if you don't like it.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
I couldn't find any settings related to cpu thermal temp setpoints.

It's already set pretty high as it'll only start throttling after 80-90 degrees celsius at which point I'd consider that dangerous to your cpu for any prolonged period of time.

I only get that high temp when its booting up and only temporarily throttles due to 20-30 processes starting up at once.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
Probably not. That could be caused by any number of things. Try wiping your cached data in settings -> storage -> internal storage. If that doesn't help, try a different rom/kernel or factory reset.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
I haven't seen that issue with my phone yet. It used to happen on my nexus 6.

What is the cpu speeds throttled to when it's below 20 percent?

Oh and are you using stock rom/kernel? I'm using a different kernel which might have fixed your issue.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
Sounds like a combination of greenify, ram management, and a cpu governor autoswitcher?

I personally use "L speed" + greenify so I have more control on what the apps are doing.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KUSOsan:
I was close to trying L speed after reading about it in another forum but the person in the forum that recommended it said after using it for a week it ended making his phone slower than before he used it so I never bothered.

I'm not very educated on vmheaps and stuff like that but I know the app I listed is supposed to increase some cache and the vmheaps and other things when using the speed option. I don't bother using other features that it has like boost and kill mode that are supposed to work like greenify. I've tried greenify in the past but never felt the need to use it on the V20
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
yeah I'm stock rom and kernel. what kernel are you using? I tried one but it was giving me issues especially static on boot and I don't feel like dealing with that!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
Most kernels have fixed that static issue. I'm testing out schwifty kernel at the moment but I have tried werewolf and the stock WETA one too.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] helf:
Working beautifully! Thanks!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kuachi00:
hi iam monitoring gpu freq thru cpu-z and it is noticeable when playing nba 2k17 that it throttles to minimal because i experience lag . can i request for a .conf file in which my gpu when playimg games will never throttle below 410 mhz thank you so much
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
I'm on us996 though.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
Werewolf kernel has variants for all devices including us996. WETA rom works for all devices too.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mookiexl:
From my experience thus far, only using non stock roms fixes this issue. Even my old Sam$hit S6 edge plus runs better stock than this monster of a device.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
heard there were issues with Weta, and werewolf has static boot for 996 still.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cityneversleepz:
Are you using the free version?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KUSOsan:
Yeah. Still liking it so far although I'm about to try out L Speed and see if there is any difference
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] digitalart:
upsss... i just replaced my original file, forgot to make a backup .I hope everything will work the way it should. But maybe someone can post original file from 918h just in case ?! :)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dimm0k:
thank you for creating something like this! I was wondering if it's possible to change it so that instead of charging constantly at ~1000mah it's at something else say 800?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
Sure. I'll try to change it. Could you upload your thermal_conf file? I made so many changes to mine I forgot which one is the original.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeep447:
Thanks to the OP for the work you've put into this and for sharing it with us. I was really excited to try this because my screen on charging was just unbearably slow and it made a huge difference after I tried it, but unfortunately like someone else mentioned recently my phone would just get so hot that you couldn't even touch it so I wound up having to revert back. Is there anyway you could possibly make one that only changes the screen on charging speed? Or possibly one that won't heat up the phone as much? I've always rooted my phones and I've had them get hot before but never as hot as this one was getting, it seriously got to the point where I literally couldn't touch it!! Anyway thanks again either way and any help would definitely be appreciated!!

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
Sure I made a reduced charging speed one here.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7VVzSKFTGVkcWN2cElSZTk0X0k/view?usp=sharing

Test it out and let me know if it runs cooler. If not I also made a reduced max speed when charging one in the OP.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dimm0k:
not sure if you know, but the first and third versions are identical! also, just trying to get a better understanding on all of this. does leaving the default [LCD_ON_MONITOR] limit the charge to 1000 because of "action_info 1000"? can you give an idea what [PA_MONITOR] does and why it was removed?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
Woops thanks. I fixed the link.

Yes the LCD_ON_MONITOR limits the charge because of "action_info". It was mostly trial and error and I've tried increasing it over 1000 along with other variables but I couldn't get it over 1000mah. Probably to do with another config file or kernel specific setting.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeep447:
I'm sorry it took so long to respond but thank you I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to do this!

I tried the one that you attached with the reduced charging speed and it might have been a little better but it was still getting too hot, so I tried the other ones you posted and the one that ended up working for me is the one with both reduced.

I probably could've stuck with the one where you reduced the cpu and set the screen on charging to max, but the cpu was still getting warm enough to make me nervous at around 175° - 180°(F). What's weird is that the battery stayed at it's normal 90° - 95° range even with on screen charging at 1000mah, unless I just don't understand it right (which is always a possibility) because I didn't think the cpu temp would be effected since it was reduced so I was just expecting the battery temp to possibly increase?

Anyway thank you again either way because at least the one with both reduced works without overheating my phone, and even though it's not as fast as it could be it still charges faster now with the screen on than it did.. and any improvement over what it was is not something I'd ever complain about!!

Sent from a ridiculously modified ColecoVision
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeep447:
Ok so I've been looking through these config files because I'm wanting to play around with the screen on charging speed so I can get it to charge as fast as possible without overheating my phone (and without having to keep bugging you all the time lol), but if you wouldn't mind I just had a couple of questions just to make sure that I'm either understanding this right or if it's just completely way over my head (because I'd rather not blow my battery or phone up lol).

It looks like the only 2 values that you changed between the max screen on charging config and the 600mah screen on charging config were just the last 2 values for action_info, and both were decreased by 1200 from what you had set for max (2000 1800 - 800 600) or is there something else that I'm missing?

So as far as trying out different screen on charging speeds are those the only 2 values that I'd need to change as long as they are both changed by the same amount? So for example instead of reducing the last 2 lines by 1200 from the max (800 600), could I try reducing them by only 800 like this...

action_info 3100 2800 2600 2200 1200 1000 ?

If I'm not even close because there's just way more involved then I'm definitely not expecting you to walk me through everything just to clarify, I just noticed that those were the only 2 values you changed (unless I'm missing something) to make it 600mah instead of the 1000mah max, so I just thought I'd ask.

I honestly don't even understand how those numbers wind up equating to 1000mah and 600mah so I'm sure there's a ton of stuff that's just way over my head, but I just thought if by some miracle it really was as easy as changing those last 2 values by the same amount then it would actually be something I could try out myself. Anyway thank you again for all of your help and I hope I didn't just completely waste your time with this! lol

Sent from a ridiculously modified ColecoVision
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Holyman007:
Yeah all I did was raise those last 2 values over 1000 to make it so that the minimum charge rate would be over 1000mah. I'm not even sure what the rest of the numbers mean but probably have to do with adjusting charge rate to the set thermal thresholds when screen off.

The other thing I did was increase the "action_info" in the lcd monitor section to 1000 from default of 300. Same with the PA monitor section (or deleted it entirely).

For me, Im fine with the heat and charging at 1amp with the screen on. Others may not be as comfortable which is why the slower versions would suit them better.
