Could I please ask if this Lineage os ROM also works on H870DS (dual sim Hongkong version)? In other words, could H870 and H870DS share ROMs?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] J0SH1X:
NO, because H870DS has no unlockable bootloader so H870DS hasnt even been rooted yet

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] besimk:
Hiho folks,

I would like to discuss some fundamental on the Lineage development for the H870 (please without any offences) because I'm trying to understand the actual way of priorities.

I have filled some heavy bugs into JIRA and I read in this thread that some of these bugs (the bluetooth-scrambled-thing, the mic-level-low-thing) are months old. It seems for me that the development for LOS 14.1 stopped widely and there are most of the devs working on LOS 15. Is my assumption going in the current direction?

My H870 is actually not really usable with these bugs and we should discuss if there are any realistic chances to get a stabile LOS 14.1 on the LG G6.

Cheers,

Besim
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] faeArai:
From my understanding development fully stopped as the developer's phone is broken.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] chaos90222:
No， J0SH2X is the thread maintainer not lineageOS maintainer，and some other developers still working with G6, development will continue.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] CommieColin:
I think you are more or less correct. You can see the changelogs on the LOS site, but they don't seem to be addressing many of the minor issues you mentioned. I believe a lot of effort is going into LOS 15 and personally I would wait for a stable release of that if you're looking for a daily driver.

here comes a new joiner

hi all.

I've bought a LG G6 h870 Monday (coming from an LG G4) and directly installed LineageOS 14.1. I don't have Google Apps installed.

I've updated today to 20171024 downloading the img and putting it on the sdcard - after upgrading I lost SU and had to flash it again to gain root. I did so worried by reading this post.

I have a question, regarding camera. Is boot.img advertised in the OP still needed? (if not, maybe I've missed the post in the thread).

So far I have these bugs, I believe we all do:

Camera acting bizarre (I don't really use it so much and not my top problem)

Low microphone volume (fixed using this tip but setting it to 104 instead of 124 - thanks to [MENTION=7132283]habobababo[/MENTION], ).

Using bluetooth result in scrambled audio

I'm not complaining! Just telling my story. The rest seems fine.

Thanks to [MENTION=5646556]J0SH1X[/MENTION] for your efforts (is some other DEV I'm forgetting?) - let me (us?) know how's going with your broken cell phone, maybe I (we?) can donate some money to cover repair costs.

Is anyone willng to try a UNOFFICIAL build? I can get a new one up to see if sound/mic is a little better and an updated kernel.... There is a method to go from official to unofficial without data loss (it does help if you are closer to same build date). Store a backup and be prepared to flash back and aquire logcats. I help out withe the v20 builds which share a similar base. Thanks.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] asdfoiuqwer:
Hello all,

I just upgraded to a G6 (US997 unlocked model) and flashed over to LOS and so far things are working pretty well. I don't see a thread anywhere for the US997 model, but I assume the EU model is very similar. The biggest issue I've noticed is a problem with DRMed video playback. Both Netflix and Amazon prime video apps are limited to 480p playback/downloads, while the Google Play Movies and Youtube app fail to play purchased movies, it plays audio but no video (normal free youtube videos play fine).

My initial googling led me to downloading the "DRM info" app to confirm Widevine appeared and said L1 support, which it does.

I also found this jira:

BUGBASH-1120

but it sounds like the fix for that was device specific and I'm not sure it applies to the G6.

Can anyone else confirm whether or not DRM video is working properly on their G6 LOS 14.1 install? If the problem is only my device, I'll try reflashing everything.

Thanks,

Edit: I parsed a logcat while attempting to play a purchased video in the Play Movies app and I found a widevine DRM error that I suspect is related:

Edit 2: I downloaded an ExoPlayer Demo app that allowed me to test playback of a bunch of different video formats. It seems like Widevine + Secure + DASH playback always failed (Widevine + DASH + without secure works ) by playing only the audio. I captured a full logcat while attempting to play one of the demos. It looks like that first error I found wasn't the cause, because it wasn't there this time:

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] x86cpu:
Nothing yet, I was looking for volunteers. This is the pending commit: https://review.lineageos.org/194447

Anyone that builds their own UNOFFICIAL can repopick this as well to test. I've already been running my v20 on this one.

Also this one: https://review.lineageos.org/194393 to make sure that fix it good as well.

Ahh i wont update my phone anymore, ill just wait till a stable version of LOS 15. I just need the battery improvements in Android O.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

I am looking at the changes and allot has to do with the camera. What will exactly change? the quality?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] x86cpu:
I doubt any changes will affect the camera. Most likely to ensure a good camera, stay stock. :( This has some power settings/sound. Should help some on laggy issues (we are seeing some on the v20). Need more to ensure it does not make things worse to go in, it might not make things 100% better, but at least it should not make it worse (or fail to boot, etc...) I only have a v20 to test.

Most likely it will be a while before stable 15.

--> I tried your value 101 in all 3 DEC7 volume in mixer_paths_tasha.xml but it's still a bit too low, I then set it to 124 as mentioned in this thread fix-low-microphone-volume-custom-roms-t3683146 and tried it with the audio record app and it's just perfect!

So better to put 124 instead for next merge. Kudos to habobababo for finding the right value there.

I was trying to be nice on the speakers as to high can cause them to fail. Adjusted commit, but please others... test...test..test..
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] thorias:
No worries, I tried with the sound volume at max while replaying several voices recording at normal voice level talking and no issues with crackling or whatever, the phone speakers reproduce sound nicely but for sure, as you mention, the more people test it the better it is. ;)

Thanks for the pro active commit changes consideration!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] x86cpu:
I am willing to help where I can. I have a v20, so 101 was the max I could go before haring crackling and issues. I only have a v20, but can build for any devices if needed and as long as others are willing to build and/or test it helps everyone. I (and others) prefer not to blind merge changes without people verifying it will help. More people to test confirm these so it can be merged. Thanks for the feedback.

There is no alway on display... just the ambient display. Always on display comes with Android 8.0 I think.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] leonono98:
I don't know if I'm the only one having this issue. The ROM seems nice and smooth and perfect (camera issue is no problem for me). But after like 2-3 hrs of not using the phone and reusing it again, everything turns into a lagfest. Switching between apps is slow and animations stutter. Feels like running an Oreo Rom on a 7 year old phone :D

I've tried playing around with kernel adiutor but no use. Rebooting helps but it's annoying to do so often. And on stock everything is fast and smooth only scrolling feels kinda 'delayed' (don't know how to explain). Does anyone have an idea what to do? :)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] dwasifar:
I installed the 20171027 us997 nightly, and it broke wireless charging in a weird way.

Wireless charging proceeded normally until the phone was at 100%, and then the charging status started flipping back and forth between "on charger" and "not on charger" about every two seconds. This had the result of making my night clock go on and off, on and off (because the night clock comes on when the phone is on charger during a specified time range). I've never seen this problem on any other phone, or on the stock ROM. I flashed back to stock 15a, and wireless charging behaves normally again, so it's definitely a ROM issue and not a hardware problem.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] thorias:
Well, there are still issues with mic level/gain after doing more thorough tests, 124 is in fact a bit too high (maybe 112 should be better, sorry for my positive acknowledgment in my previous post), I did some test on voice mails and the sound quality is lower compared to what stock rom offers, and even some apps still have low mic level like google camera...means there are other settings/values in mixer tasha to be modified.

I personaly own two G6 h870, one on latest stock LG rom and one on lineage rom, and I compared both mixer tasha xml files, it's true that lineage use genuine LG stock values there (minor difference with FM (radio) accross both)...but there is a mic quality/gain difference in apps using mic recording, seems that the stock rom is using the quad adc/dac (wcd9320_madaudio bins, firmware present in stock not in lineage, stock have extra xml/settings (audio_policy/conf/volumes with different SND audio names ids) while lineage is not which I assume explains the difference in mic recording level/better sound quality...which leads me to believe all H870 have quad dac despite what I could read around there (at least the EU have otherwise why they'll put the bins firmware in there...)...

I stopped here my investigations as I need to have the phone 100% operational for work purpose and no time in digging further, so I reverted it back to stock rom.

Anyway despite the mic/camera issue, everything else I could test (minus bluetooth/nfc that I didn't check) works fine, you guys are doing a great job! I continue to monitor how lineage is improving on the G6, but unfortunatly not yet a daily driver for me.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] x86cpu:
Adjusted to 111 to match the "speaker-mic-liquid", which might be already LG set, better to be safe. Yeah, sound on Lineage vs. stock LG won't ever be as good. the acdb data is also hard to get at to determine the correct path for sound devices and how they are mixed too.

i have also have two questions regarding los on LG G6.

1. i'm using los since oct 17th and flashed to actual 20171031 build.

Baseband is showing Jul 5th.

I'm wondering if i need to install some LG Stock firmware to update baseband to a newer version?

2. i've installed spotify and didn't use it since 3 days. In battery screen spotify is listed with 1% since last full charge. Is it running in background without starting it?

Rom is okay. Also the lg stock ROM is not really good (compared to Motorola or nexus ROMs).

What's not perfect:

- display brightness is not adjusted correctly

- mic is not perfect

- camera app needs to be replaced to work. There is no free camera app which enables the second wide angle camera.

BTW: Is it somehow possible to use this V30 camera app? Any ideas?

What's better than stock ROM: battery usage in idle. (Maybe because of less bloatware). So all in all the ROM is okay for daily usage.

It has a couple of features over stock that I like and wish I could keep, but wireless charging doesn't work right in this ROM and that's a deal breaker for me.

Well as currently it is, not for me. Issue with mic and camera are deal breakers for me. For playing around and providing feedback on issues to the devs to improve lineage on G6, please go ahead! The more people test and provide feedbacks to the devs to catch the hickups, the better it'll benefits to the G6 lineage community at the end. You're a beta tester there...:)

I'd consider it a serious security issue. unfortunately I moved from Stock to Lineage since I didn't trust stock to be doing full disk encryption (had an earlier thread about how I could access everything in TWRP.)

Hope it gets fixed soon.

Tried to upgrade my H870 from LOS nightly 2017/10/24 to 2017/10/24 via TWRP 3.1.1-0 as I had some glitches/problems already mentioned in this thread (camera etc). As the device couldn't boot LOS and stuck on TWRP, I tried several fixes. Seems like one of them bricked my phone (WARNING DO NOT US THESE COMMANDS!):

I typed:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/fota

Thx for answering. Seems like my phone is now stuck on a boot loop into the "corrupt"-message and can't be shut down to be able to enter recovery mode as the device (despite the message "your device will power off automatically") keeps on rebooting. Pressing the power button doesn't do anything at all. As I can't shut it down, I can't enter Download mode. Pressing volume- and power to enter the factory mode (in which I can either enter TWRP or try to boot if everything works) is all I can do. And of course try to wait till the battery is empty...
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Killua96:
If the phones reboot than it turns off for a moment, just connect the phone to the pc, keep pressed vol- and power, and when it turns off leave and keep pressed only vol+ button, just a matter of times.

3. Download the original G6 firmware https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/how-to/list-lg-g6-stock-firmware-t3583763

4. Tried the "upgrade" method in uppercut and installed Stock firmware, however I was asked to enter a password I didn't know, so I did a factory reset

5. Unlocked the device, installed TWRP again, then the latest nightly and my TWRP backup

6. After reboot, my password pattern didn't work anymore, so I deleted the following files: https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008

5unsh1ne, did you notice autoprime's instruction on misc oartution?

That clears only the first 256 bytes, not the whole partition like you did.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] 5unsh1ne:
Yes, thanks. That's what I'm going to try if these problems encounter again. I was just curious whether there are other (safer or easier) methods or this one really works for G6 as it was specifically meant for G5.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] x86cpu:
G5...V20...G6... all these devices share the same kernel base and most files, very little different. LG uses the misc partition to store a lot of devices identifying information, which happens to include your WiFi and BT mac. It also gets read on boot, so if it can't read it right it gets stuck.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ST Dog:
Given it's what autoprime recommended, I'd use it and not risk other stuff.

Also note autoprime has been recommending that since the G2 because of all the info LG stores in the partition.

Can you try in the main Lineage camera to adjust the shutter speed? It most of the time defaults to 1/4000s, which causes the preview to be dark. The issue seems to be non-auto shutter-speed. Still investigating that. (I have a v20, so can only speak for that, but as I mentioned the v20/g5/g6 all use a same base and are most of the time similar in changes/fixes.)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] 5unsh1ne:
Ok, I tried: If I set it to 1/8, it's perfect for photos inside my flat (both preview and the pics), but photos taken outside (and preview) are too bright now. There is no auto-option to chose.
