Yes, had the stock nougat version running for a month or so. Wanted to wait a bit before I update to Oreo.

Oreo flash was running smoothly without any complications.

First time though, I had the 8.0 Gapps, which then could not be installed. I downloaded the 8.1 Aroma version and did a clean flash of AOSCP and flashed Gapps afterwards.

Exactly the last couple of posts are the reason why I have made a Linux distribution named

FWUL

use it !

And stop using this thread for debugging Windows issues...
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
What advantage would FWUL have over standard Ubuntu. I know it has utilities like SALT built in, but surely for flashing TWRP/detecting the phone, there would be no difference

This is a general support channel now? My car doesn't run to great, can anybody help me with that?
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
I'm still relatively new here - how am I supposed to ask a single question then?

Do I really need to create a new thread and then wait for people to answer, as this seems overkill (especially when a question isn't starting a discussion - it simply needs an answer)
[G4 Android Development] gioxoid:
Any significative changes between 1st February to 18th February N build? Only security patches or something else?

Just because since the upgrade I had strange random freeze, sreen goes black and led pop in blu. Only a couple of time I had BSOD with the alarm of modem crash.
[G4 Android Development] Frazzy:
Salt thread or the TWRP thread depending where your problem lies?

Both are better than a ROM thread.
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
Ok. It was actually [MENTION=6851421]dat_benjie[/MENTION] that was having the issues, not me.

I was just surprised at this method as it seems really disjointed to keep having to re-explain any issues you are having as soon as they become slightly off topic (dat_benjie was having issues he believed were due to the flashing of AOSCP, so this is the correct place, and as people were debugging it, it drifted off topic and you are saying he suddenly he needs to go to a different thread and start again)
[G4 Android Development] Frazzy:
If you buy coolant for your car and throw it in the oil compartment and your car breaks down, do you go back to the coolant salesman and tell him his coolant isn't working or do you go to a garage?

To many people are flashing stuff these days when they really shouldn't...

just my 2 cents....
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
It's a bit unfair to assume he did something wrong. His problems began after he flashed AOSCP, so it is a perfectly valid reason to believe AOSCP caused the problems

Everybody has to start at some point. When I began, I knew nothing and I learnt by experimenting with an old device. If I had any issues, then I would ask on XDA to learn from the more experienced developers to help me broaden my knowledge. This has lead me to the point where I feel comfortable flashing roms on my current device, which I would never have done originally.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Open up the rom zip and take a look inside.

You will see system and boot partitions. So it's impossible to be rom related.

If you want, you can keep this going for days. But you will never find the solution here because the man who knows how to help you, he will not answer to you here, only at the correct thread which is made for that reason.

Good day.

It's not rom related.
[G4 Android Development] dat_benjie:
Actually tried FWUL as well, didn't work either. I posted in this thread, as these problems occurred after installing this ROM. It seems only logical to discuss problems related to this ROM in this thread doesn't it?

Anyway, thanks for the help [MENTION=8699949]ThePiGuy[/MENTION]. I'll try the TWRP thread or sth. Maybe I'll get redirected back here, who knows?
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
It is my opinion (I doubt you will get any more help on here - maybe try opening a new thread under "G4 Q&A and Troubleshooting" or finding a related thread) that your update to v29a didn't go as smoothly as you hoped, and something in the update messed up your USB connectivity. I believe this is because it occurs both booted into your OS and also in fastboot mode, suggesting that it is not ROM related as fastboot is a separate boot mode that is not modified when you flash a ROM.

As to how to fix it, I have no idea, which is why you should find another thread and ask there
[G4 Android Development] dat_benjie:
Thanks, will do

You don't even need that (my phone is perfectly happy on marshmallow firmware). I was just trying to work out what might have caused his issues
[G4 Android Development] kinuris:
Not for me. I was trying to make Titanium Restore functional, and it shows no app, nor system apps. I will install (clean, again, tomorrow) and try it again.

And, if you can and want, please install signature spoofing as default, or deodex completly the ROM (I think you only have odexed services, ethernet services and wifi services) so we can use the nanodroid patch easily. Of course, last in the list, not begging, no complaining, just suggesting. I was a few hours in this ROM, but it works better for me than N. As always, thank you very much for your time and effort.:good:
[G4 Android Development] michael_0394:
I don't know if this has been asked before but is v29a bootloader required to be able to encrypt? I believe I'm still on stock MM bootloader
[G4 Android Development] MatteoB92:
Thanks for your experience my friend, I'll switch into the next minutes, I think to follow this schedule:

1) boot into recovery, factory reset, flash modem+bootloader pack

2) boot again into recovery, update TWRP to the last Nougat available

3) 3rd recovery boot, flash rom as usual.

I waited that long this moment :D
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
Seems fine to me. Start with nougat TWRP (all apart from decryption works on marshmallow as well), and make a full phone backup (I definitely recommend this) so you can revert to marshmallow bootloader and modem if you have any issues (if you want to be thorough, you could also take a SALT backup as well). Then flash zip, stay in TWRP (no need to reinstall it if you only flash bootloader and modem) and clean flash AOSCP
[G4 Android Development] MatteoB92:
Just flashed, the only problem is lack of data connection : Wi-Fi is OK, ad for calls and sms.

I've flashed again modem/bootloader zip into recovery to see if changes something..

EDIT : Ad I suspected problem was the APN, totally missing.

Set again through suggestions on carrier website, everything is ok.

What a ROM, so smooth!

Hello guys.. I think I may late jumping to this party. I've try the search function but not find it yet, is this rom working on H818p too? thanks
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
because factory reset was wrong. do you see that written in the instructions ?
[G4 Android Development] obvious:
Seeing as we've been off topic a bit recently with all the naughty helping some guy fix his usb connection. I reckon he needs to force it into 9008 or short the test points btw.

I'm sure a bunch of us would like to take your ten hour sot frankenbuild for a spin :) Would you share it?
[G4 Android Development] Kortex@XDA:
Hi there :)

I installed this ROM, Oreo version on my H815 yesterday. After having configured it like I like it to be (system + all my apps), I found it very smooth and stable and I think it's possible to use it as a daily driver.

Meanwhile, I marked some bugs or problems with the ROM :

- need to restart RIL manualy after boot, or SIM card is not detected

- sharing connection through WiFi doesn't work, but USB is OK

- the flash light toggle seems not to work

- the notification LED doesn't work for notifications, but it's OK for charge

- would it be possible to add a toggle in quick settings to start or stop USB connection sharing ?

By the way, thx for all this wonderfull work :)
[G4 Android Development] elrasho:
-the notification LED doesn't work for notifications, but it's OK for charge

sheesh this still isnt fixed!?
[G4 Android Development] Bleuzen:
For me it works, also for notifications.

I found out, that the led is disabled by default for the most apps for some reason on this rom (or android 8.1).

So you have to go into the settings and enable the led for the apps you want.

Bluetooth Audio doesn't work? I use that every day streaming music from Deezer in my car
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
Bluetooth calling audio. If you make a phone call with a Bluetooth hands free set, the sound doesn't work
[G4 Android Development] Kortex@XDA:
Bluetooth audio is OK for music streaming, not calls. I tested it this morning.

Thx for the app for the flashlight, works great :) I think I'll make a TWRP backup of the ROM in this state, and try the next versions because I need phone call over BT to work. I'd like to help you developping this ROM, but I'm not able to do so :/ Sorry.

And of course, thx for your work, this is already a great ROM :)
[G4 Android Development] elrasho:
OK so I wont be using this ROM, cant seem to find any ROM that has everything working :eek:
[G4 Android Development] Kortex@XDA:
Oreo ROM is in beta state, that's the rule of the game ;) And it's the same for all custom ROMs in fact, even the ones marked as stable. The only ROMs that are really fully functionnal are LGs ones (and even those have bugs).
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
true. and bugs there are even worse but not obvious to the user.

my N is more stable now and has everything working except encryption.
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
Are all the battery drain bugs sorted now? If so, any ideas as to when an official build containing them will be built

By the way, great job on the ROM so far :)
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Yea btw: when is encryption working in N ;) ?

Best camera app for A.O.S.C.P

Hello,

can anybody suggest me which is the best camera app for this ROM? Google cam? Which version is working "best" based on YOUR experience?

I would like to install the OREO version on my G4 H815.

Many thanks in advance.
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
You should be able to dirty flash and then reinstall gapps, but don't take my word for it. You could always make a TWRP backup and then try it (if it doesn't work out, you can roll back)
[G4 Android Development] #ApolloLiteProblems:
I use proshot to take photos. It's excellent.
[G4 Android Development] Drago3110:
i was in the same situation.

And i decided to do a dirty flash. I did it yesterday. And no problems.

Just flash the new N version, then the newest gapps, then reboot. Without Wipe anything (because i didn't read anything about it in the OP in case of a dirty flash).

Does android pay work with this rom, anybody tried it ( Nougat one, not talking about Oreo rom ) ?
[G4 Android Development] MatteoB92:
Mate, misspoke : I performed a factory reset only coming from Marshmallow, before flashing both the modem/bootloader package and the rom+magisk+gapps ones.

However I wish to congratulate for the work done, this Nougat is so fast : stable and complete, I've never seen my G4 so powerful.

And with the adds from Oreo battery is so lasting, keep up the fantastic job man [emoji4]

[G4 Android Development] raptorddd:
not sure about pay..

for users on N AOSCP tried last build but want to use older build wich one works okey. last i found no fsync toogle and having trpuble with some app widgets
[G4 Android Development] INFERNO997:
Nope .. it is not working .. tried it

For me, the rom is super stable and fast, only pay and encryption does not work. [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] if you want, I will be more than happy to help with pay functionality. I work for mobile app payments app and I've got resources to test it any time.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
android police won't allow pay from roms besides stock ones. so it won't work. we can't hack that. At least me i don't have a clue how to hack that
[G4 Android Development] INFERNO997:
Hmm I will try to see what I can do with my colleagues at work .. They now everything about android pay and how it works (i mean literally), I am only animator and ux/ui guy (for now).

Maybe we can develop some sort of hack or even better, direct implementation found in stock roms.
[G4 Android Development] tambukey:
Pay should be able to work. It does work with other non-stock roms, but seems to vary based on device. I assume that variation is dependent on the maintainers of those roms. From my perspective: Android Pay app works and everything except NFC recognizes my stored card and accesses the app when properly called. It is only the NFC in store devices that my phone doesn't respond to at all. Hopefully that helps narrow down exactly what is needed.
[G4 Android Development] INFERNO997:
I also remember that it worked with lineage os if im not mistaken ... But I will see what is causing this problem .. I also tried our app that we are developing at work .. it said "Not compatible with this device" .. so maybe it is something with nfc, because we have heavy device check which primarily checks if device is rooted (even Magisk is recognized) and checks if NFC is implemented into the device.

For now I cant tell anything for now, I will wait untill tomorrow and I will check with my friend what is the problem.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
It depends on widevine files which we have from N stock.

But they won't work.

And maybe you should recheck if it still works on those roms.

If you didn't update there since months then it will work. If you update, I bet my life they are blocked now.

Nobody goes against police and policy. Otherwise the rom wouldn't be considered safe
[G4 Android Development] tambukey:
Syou can definitely pass safety net with Magisk and there is no way to find magisk if you use the full magisk hide that is part of it. The app spoofs its name differently on every boot. I don't think your app will be able to find it if we do that. What app do you work with? I can figure out a setup that will run that app for those that want to keep rooted.

You're probably right when it comes to our phone, but it definitely still works on different devices running LineageOS.(you can just search the Lineage section on Reddit to find that out) The last time I remember it working was probably on CyanogenMod 14, but don't hold me to that. I never really used it much to begin with on even stock, so it never bothers me. It was once I switched to Lineage after CM and found that people had it working that I started trying things out. Figured out how to pass safety and though that would be enough, and made me feel I was on the right track, but after each time that it didn't work I just stopped caring to try to get it working.

EDIT: So doing more reading, so far for LineageOS it worked on 14.1 for some time, but somewhere in August-October last year there was even a Lineage update that stopped it from working. I guess Android did get a security fix that you are talking about Kessaras, but for OREO, yeah I can't find anyone that has it working on non stock roms.
[G4 Android Development] tambukey:
I wonder if this will help us in the future?

https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g6-lg-v30-update-android-oreo/

We keep talking about if G5 gets Oreo for blobs and whatnot, but the difference between G5 and G6 seems minimal. And the best part is they are going straight to Android 8.1. Do you think this would be helpful for bluetooth, and other things for us [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION]?
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
I had the same question. The G4 and G5 use the same HAL blobs due to the same hardware, whereas the G6 uses different hardware and therefore different HAL blobs that are incompatible with the G4
[G4 Android Development] tambukey:
Which hardware is the same between G4 and G5? G5 has q-com 821 compared to our 808. From everything I see G5 is waaay more closely related to G6 then G5 to G4.
[G4 Android Development] Wills_X:
My phone no longer quick charges or at least it doesn't say it does.. Nd if im using while it charges it charges really slowly this started after flashing this rom
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
I'm not sure. This is what [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] said when I asked. I assume maybe the Bluetooth module in the 808 and 821 is similar enough that it works

Edit: just realised both G5 and G6 use 821 so I'm not sure
[G4 Android Development] tambukey:
Possibly, and sorry meant to say G5 has 820. But regardless the G6 is an 821 pro, so if it would work from G5 it should work from G6 blobs too. Those two, G5 and G6, basically are identical. I am still looking things up.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
the only hardware is cpu in there ?
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
I thought the SOC contained all the hardware including Bluetooth. Is this not the case?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
no

the problem is at the audio not bluetooth

EDIT:

Sharing this so that you can all experiment.

https://github.com/CypherOS/device_...a12fdfd51af2550037/audio/mixer_paths.xml#L421

the bluetooth device is bt-sco. What we have is an issue with bluetooth audio playback.

i got no idea which audio format or volume is the correct.

O brought changes and we never got O from LG. What we need now is to find out the correct audio format or volume for bluetooth device.

in this file you will find the audio policies.

https://github.com/CypherOS/device_...-release/audio/audio_policy_configuration.xml

here the output audio policies

https://github.com/CypherOS/device_...eo-mr1-release/audio/audio_output_policy.conf

here is where the effects are declared. this rarely needs a change and its better not to touch if you dont know what to do

https://github.com/CypherOS/device_lge_g4-common/blob/oreo-mr1-release/audio/audio_effects.conf

In all files you will find bt sco (or bt-sco)related stuff.

all these files are located in your phone in /system/etc and others in /system/vendor/etc

play and experiment to your hearts content and i hope someone comes up with the right bl audio format.

(mixer_path_XXX files are not related. only mixer_paths.xml)

~> Keep a backup of them before start changing them. a mistake would even result in boot loop and you may need to enter recovery to copy paste the backup in place to boot back in <~
[G4 Android Development] MatteoB92:
Now I understood the mistake : I took for granted that 'Advance WIPE' would mean the factory reset option, instead stands only for the option to access the format data menu.

This after the 2nd cycle, a battery with nearly 2 years on the back : great SOT, your Oreo adds seem very promising[emoji367]

[G4 Android Development] tambukey:
Question, we have both a /vendor and a /system/vendor libs for soundfx, they are identical (via a checksum), but which directory is being called? Could it be related to bad file paths? I am not good with how the device tree interacts(not really sure how to word it) I have been slowly teaching my self some different programming languages and have learned to read through code, but I don't know much towards tracing when and where certain files are called by an apk or system.

Also what is the point of this file?

https://github.com/CypherOS/device_...r1-release/audio/audio_policy_volumes_drc.xml

On lines 23-27 would making them even more negative give us a better/ quieter curve? As it was said before, it sounds like it is either being double buffered, which this file could be doing, or that it is just too loud. Maybe making those much higher negatively, like starting at -9600 instead of -4200 would be of use to quieting it down.

You're not alone on this. Personally, i dedicate 2hrs charge time (no touching). Hopefully charging power/time improves with subsequent updates.

Just do your experiments. Vendor is symling to system vendor and odm is symling to vendor.

Don't ask me about these I'm no expert. I experimented too when I added them since we don't have from LG anything.

No problem.

Ye stock charger gets 1000mAh like it should. Before it got more which was wrong.

Tested another charger , stronger , and gave me 1600 mAh which again is wrong. If you want to blow up your battery tell me to build a kernel especially for you and up it to 2000mAh.

Me I'll keep using 1000 which is already more than stock.

Drain is more so charging looks little slower

Quick and dirty is "win(dows)-like". Knowing comes out oft experience. If it runs in dirty environments doesn't mean it works in a clean install. Means the other way round. Install clean and no one can curse you if he does it dirty.
