Tips and tricks for power users

A recent contribution brought around by new member [MENTION=8227463]unicornsw4g[/MENTION]

Disabling thermal throttling on the LG aristo/lv3

Or simply put, you can reboot into recovery before mounting the system partition and traveling into the file browser from the advanced tab on the TWRP main screen.

From there you can explore to /system/etc and look for thermal-engine-8937.conf and thermal-engine-default.conf. click on one and add .bak to the end of the file's name. Do the same for the other. (This way, if anything happens. You can boot into recovery and just change them back to normal)

Restart your phone and your CPU has been unlocked.

Now you wanna program the CPU and GPU using a kernel manager.

I used kernel audiutor for this next step, not much work now.

Cpu Min-960

Cpu Max-1094

Cpu Governor-ondemand

Input boost freq-1094 for the first two cores and 1248 for the last two.

Thermal-vdd restrictions. (Undervolts the kernel to safe levels at higher speed to mitigate heat)

Gpu max-484.

DO NOT TOUCH THE GPU GOVERNOR.

With these settings, i can play a couple different games at full brightness without worrying about heat dispersal.

TURBO GPU MAGISK MODULE

Been using a new magisk module recently. After a couple days of using it, my battery drain has slowed down to maybe 3% an hour while gaming. Module can be found in magisk manager or in the link provided below. If this helps you like it helped me, make sure to throw a thanks or 3 at EmperorEye.

It won't install on top of your slim rom since we have a custom recovery thankfully.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hifi1969:
A little FYI about the current OTA update. I'm not running a custom ROM, but Ive successfully applied the newest firmware (M21010r) using LGUP and was able to reflash root and custom recovery with no issues..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xtremelora:
Does still say 7.0 or 7.0.x under Android Version

What about the software patch date??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hifi1969:
Still says 7.0

Android Security Patch Level September 1, 2017
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
It's a small security update with a couple of minor tweaks to the kernel. 1400 mhz was locked out to avoid overheating. Still attainable if you do the thermal config trick.

Otherwise, this was only about the security update. Nothing fancy.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Updates will be slightly delayed.

Friend handed me the Galaxy on5 and I just received the note 4 the other day. Now I'm swimming in samsungs on top of the S4 and my tab 2. This is gonna be fun.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
It's been recently brought to attention that lg pulled some sneaky beaky business with the background code for their devices. There is a small applet that checks for elevated privileges (root) on stock software and forces a mild to massive slowdown on different devices. I don't know exactly how bad it is on other devices, but it would explain why the aristo goes from battery friendly before root, to just barely skimming the average discharge rate.

For anyone still using stock software, the fix can be found here. https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.zacharee1.rctdremoverforlg

This is in alpha, make sure you create a proper backup of your boot partition just in case.

For those of you who still want to use magisk in the process. Flash the original boot image, flash magisk, install the root check Disabler, reflash magisk.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xtremelora:
I don't have issues with the battery at all... Maybe depends on how you use the phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
I already did my tests on it. The battery was discharging a lot faster after rooting, deep sleep was never reached and it started to waste battery when the screen was off.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cyconumnum:
has anyone tried sound tweaks?..

i.e. like dolby/viper mods

mixer_paths.xml settings?

i've been trying to bump up the incall ear and speaker ..

it's not overly obvious what it's called in the mixer_paths...

i bumped up the speaker overall a little....

but,that seemed to lower incall ear/speaker for some reason

oh...and a huge favor i need to ask...can anyone post a copy of the stock mixer_paths.xml please??? ...

i backed up mine and somehow lost it ...the remaining backup is after the first tweaks...before finding out the poop with incall...

thanks for even reading this

i know i post alot of hot air....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Th4_D3P4RT3D:
Hey guys, I think I have a slight situation. I unlocked my phones bootloader, rooted it and put a custom recovery on it. had an init script that was on there and my phone got messed up after installing an update. Anyway, my problem is that while in recovery, my internal storage can not be seen or accessed. I'm thinking that the update couldnt install because of that. Should i be worried that I cant see my internal storage while in recovery? I have installed a couple of black gapps through recovery though, so i know i can install from micsd at least. Any thoughts or help please?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Sorry about the lateness.

I've actually been testing a lot in this general direction.

You can extract the original mixer_paths file from either xtremelora's slim rom, or his OG stock rom.

On the matter of a decent sound mod. I've been using the Quasar mod chain since some of the other mods involving Dolby don't take memory into consideration. Leading to Dolby running into force closes the completely screw things up.

(Also, don't install any sound mods using magisk. The systemless setup is slightly out of control.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Too vague, please reword in a way that could actually end up with a resolution.

1.which custom recovery. (We have four version of the same twrp.)

2.what script were you using?

3. Stock or custom update?

Anyway, about your missing memory. Just boot into twrp and mount the system before connecting it to a computer.

(Twrp can act as a medium for your computer to read your storage)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cyconumnum:
I'm on Lineage now....

The overall sound is adequate...

Being.. It's basically equal to vanilla N... Haven't tampered with the values as much.... When I did the second/last install I flashed the INFECTED™+AUDIO+v1.0 sound mod...

It uses to aroma to choose your prefs...

I decided to be silly and install Viper and both versions of Dolby...

They don't clash..

Basically... Because every time I would be done fiddling with either Dolby...

They would just shut off and do nothing until I started then and left em on screen..

Viper...

Does all it's supposed to and more...

This is the first time with any OS that I've experienced full use with all the bells and whistles + all the 40+ headphone profiles without havering to save it in memory...

Or at all....

Since viper shuts off when it's shut off...I think I'll try what you use just to see what is like...

Lineage has turned my phone into a viable head unit...

I wish I could afford another for a dedicated head unit in my car... Seriously
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Infected had awesome sound quality, but like you noticed already, it doesn't play well with our limited RAM leading to shutoffs.

Divine beats sounded better, but I had used version 10 which was horrible due to the music player suddenly developing narcolepsy when you shut the screen off.

Arise is alright, but doesn't play well when off of magisk.

(Magisk based sound mods are horrible since a lot of sound effects truly require you to have them included in system.)

Ainur is only good if you have a dsp or internal dac with a high bitrate sadly, I really liked ainur Nero for my LG Leon.

Quasar was the absolute best decision. Atmos gets installed with the proper memory values. Viper gets installed as a proper system app, so you won't lose the use of different effects. (Make sure to download the IRS database included in the extras section of divine beats, the TRACKS IRS files are incredibly varied for this)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cyconumnum:
I just play Pandora and SoundCloud...

Takes too long to change songs while I'm at lights... So I just throw it on a station .. Or try to find crazy remixes on SoundCloud
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
I feel it, personally I just download and store.

Switch up what I want to listen to before I go out.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Alright, three things on the agenda.

For starters, I've finally taken a look at the polls and for some reason people want to know about Howard.

He's fat and occasionally he wears a bowtie. Also, he thinks humans are oversized kittens and will try to groom you if he thinks you're dirty.

Second of all, people requested mods (which I've been working on anyway since I originally opened this thread)

Sound mods are finished along with useful apps. I'm finishing up the draft for system mods like KITANA/lspeed/HEBF. So that'll be up shortly.

Lastly, I've made an addition to the problem solving post in regards to lineage's handling of the entropy pool. (Small fix, but does wonders.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cyconumnum:
THANK YOU!!!

Can't wait to run it

i tried quasar ...it was cool....i've run atmos for so long that i uninstalled quasar and flashed my save...

reinstalled infected so i could fiddle with my sound till it sounds cool n bassy or whatever...be geeky...

i've never experienced the full use of viper....

in viper theres a setting for speaker that makes stuff louder...no mixer fiddling for now....

just gotta start taming the battery use...

i use gravity screen so i can wave open the phone....it chews on the battery really good just sitting still im guessing

and thanx :good::good::good::good: for getting gps and camera going cool ....those always suffered in the different unofficial ports of custom roms i've tried in the past..

overall good experience... :highfive:	:highfive:

I used tmobile download in op its not for tmobile like listed it network locked it to metro pcs its not for tmobile like listed needs to be fixed or removed
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Thanks for the heads up, I'll get down on this after work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
So I promised to dedicate some time on the guide to mods (sound mods and hardware mods) and lemme tell ya, that has not gone well at all.

System modding apps like hebf and Lspeed don't have much a noticeable effect and tend to wipe out my battery, probably has something to do with our kernel trying to lock itself at its highest speed. So, just avoid those.

Audio mods aren't exactly friendly with the aristo, like at all.

7 different mods with only ARISE being the one who doesn't have an issue.

I'll break the arise setup down later on, but its fairly simplified if you know what you're doing.

UltraM8's latest sauron mod is an amazing piece of work, but sadly it falls to the side like the other 5 due to it stuttering when the screen is locked. (Not the mods fault either, the aristo just refuses to play nice with anything)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] teknoweanie:
Whats everyone using on this phone? Got a new one for free probably going to use it for a few months.

Edit: accidentally posted on this thread instead of making a new thread. :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] prosp3ct:
hey, i'm trying to get Lineage on my Aristo.... has anyone done it? how good is it, and how did u do it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] teknoweanie:
I think its a bit better than stock. Have you unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP? After that just download the backup of the lineage port extract to your microsd card. Make sure to do a backup of somekind so it creates the backup folder then copy the lineage backup to your devices TWRP backup folder and do a restore from the lineage backup. **this isn't exactly how its done,there are more steps just read this

Ask questions beforehand if your unsure about something.

Edit: also read about flashing magisk to aristo instead of SuperSU. here

Someone can help me?

I can't select the minimun frequency in 960mhz, I don't know why, it's like the cpu was locked, but I unlocked!, always is in 1094mhz, but I can change the maximun frequency, from 960mhz to 1401mhz. I tried with ex kernel and kernel adiutor, help me pls. :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Awsom0:
I'm having some difficulty finding the correct stock firmware. The link just leads to a directory with many different firmwares, and so far, every one I've tried has given me different problems. Does anyone know what the correct firmware is on https://lg-firmwares.com/ for a North American MetroPCS Aristo? Most of the ones I've tried give me an issue with several apps constantly crashing (various ones), and others don't give me all of the options that I see in videos of people bypassing FRP (which are needed to do just that.) If anyone can help, that would be amazing. Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Look for Ms series phones. Ms210 after that. Then look for the latest listing with MTP as an identifier.

Also, just use Google. Someone put up a universal frp unlocked. I can't link it for obvious reasons, but so far I've gotten my V10 and my note 4 unlocked as tests.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
The kernel is stuck there.

I am using iPioneer Slim rom, I did a dirty re-flash, did the boot.img, and installed Magisk without a problem, however when I try to install Magisk init.d enabler from TWRP it just comes up with the following error:

'Update Process ended with ERROR: 1

Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Magisk_init.d_Enabler_by_androidexpert35.zip'

Is the init.d Injector the same thing?

+ USB debugging doesn't work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Don't install from recovery. Go into thw magisk manager app, and go to the modules section. Click the plus button on the bottom of the screen and select the init.d injector.

Personally, I'd use the system based init.d option as there isn't a extended delay between system start and individual activation.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Miztermiyagi:
Need help. Halp pls.

Hi guys, noob here.

Initial Problem:

Tinkering with settings trying to boot TWRP,

(Honestly forgot...how I managed to get it to go...)

I basically tried every command Google was telling me.

In the mix, I was told to try Fastboot Flash Boot twrp.img

Then as I read further that may cause harm. So idk.

To continue with my problems, I ended up doing Wipe Format.

I'm over here trying to install No Verity and SuperSU,

But I keep receiving this error "unable to mount/data"

I go to Wipe>Format>Reboot:

TWRP tells me "lol u got no OS Bro."

I say "well ****."

So I install ipioneer but it still gives me some errors, despite unable to mount errors and cannot find device errors, install is successful. But when I boot up it asks me for a password.

I figure out my problem:

So first:

1) Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Data>Change Format>EXT4

2)...>...>System>change Format> Ext4

3)...>...>cache>change Format>ext 4

4) Install>SD Storage> No verity: NO ERRORS! YES!

5) Install>SD Storage> superSu: No Errors!! Yes!

6) Install>SD Storage> ipioneer: No Errors!!

I'm over here thinking "OMG yes, I can use my phone again."

But it STILL asks me for security password. I have no idea.

I'm very very tempted to look for a Stock MetroPCs Lg Aristo ROM but in having difficulty finding one I can install as a zip from TWRP
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Install rom

wipe data partition

Flash no Dm-verity

You have to wipe data partition before flashing no Dm-verity or it will force the encryption again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Miztermiyagi:
WOW

HEY wow, that....was really simple. Thanks! and I'm not just saying that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Glad to be a help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] junnun:
the stock rom of our device is 32bit even though the cpu is 64bit.

it would be nice to get a 64bit rom as if that happens we can use google camera....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
64 bit wouldn't matter much here since we don't have enough ram or flash memory to actually handle it, but what do you mean about Google camera? I have it installed atm
[Miscellaneous Android Development] junnun:
have you noticed that google camera v5 needs arm64-v8a? and only gcam v5 supports hdr+.... so thats the reason
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
I was asking because I have v5 currently on my aristo, it doesn't run hdr+ due to it having hardware requirements.

So why not use open camera? It has hdr+ that is based on the app itself.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] junnun:
whoa!! you have v5 running??

can you give me the link of the apk?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Do you guys have a stock bootanimation.zip file for the LG Aristo (T-Mobile)?

So recently I deleted the stock bootanimation.zip from my phone and I can't get the stock bootanimation back. I was wondering if you guys have a stock bootanimation.zip file somewhere so I can reapply the file back in the media folder in the system folder.

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Sorry about the delay, bootanimation has been added to common fixes for common problems on the first page.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
The bootanimation.zip is for the Metro pcs version lol

Do you have a T-Mobile version of the bootanimation.zip?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
That would require someone else uploading it.

Right now, my aristo needs a new digitizer. So I can't just pull it from the stock firmware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SoundOFKhaos:
lineage OS isn't woring for some reason. after retoring it hangs at boot sreen. any ideas?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
Not my department.

Did you do a full wipe?

Did you install any kind of mods?

Are you using the most recent twrp?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stalls123:
does anyone know how to fix the 60fps lag issues on lineage?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] junnun:
Download and install kernel adiutor... Then go to gpu and increase the frequency to 400 and set it on boot and whoala!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stalls123:
that didnt seem to do it for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjasinabag:
No real fix for that. The snapdragon425/adreno 308 combo can support 60 fps, but it's not a stable deal.

If you're using magisk, install the Turbo GPU module.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stalls123:
thanks but at this point i already abandoned lineage due to other instabilities. its a step in the right direction but its sad that its no longer being worked on

I have spent the better half of the entire day looking for a ROM that i like but that also has Gear VR support embedded in it, the searching is looong and laborious and the list I have is somewhat small so I'd like to enlist the help of the community to post what ROM+rom version they are on and if it has or doesn't have Gear VR support so that people who are looking for that specific thing won't have to go through as much trouble as I am to find a compatible ROM.

I will update the list as people post so that it stays current. I plan on this covering more than just the VZW Note so please include what 910 model you have.

Supported Gear VR ROMs;

Omega Rom v4.0, 910V

MODest Rom v9, 910V

JasmineROM

Non-Supported Gear VR ROMs;

Lineage OS 14.1, 910V

Nseven Rom v4, 910V

RaceRom, 910F

Red Dragon, 910F
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojoswagger1980:
Nseven and modest for sure possibly jasmine rom (sm910v)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azreark1:
Just installed Nseven, Gear VR is a negative which is too bad because I very much liked the Nseven port for the little bit of it I used.

Jasmine ROM works with gear VR.

With MODest Rom v9, 910V, be sure NOT to install the de-bloat as this removes the VR installation app.

Huh, I would have swore it came preloaded.....is there a reason you have to use gear VR ? Google VR service will install
