No, unlocked with official LG method and stock rom installed via TWRP.

If you dont want to unlock the phone, there is also a version of the official nougat stock rom for locked bootloader, but then you wont get root access to debloat the system.

[H815] [H818P] Nougat Stock FOR LOCKED BOOTLOADER [v29A] [TOT] [FLASHABLE LGUP]
[G4 Android Development] sdembiske:
Yes, uninstall the one that you have now and then download the new version directly on your phone from Play Store - the full version when installed, as I directed above, should show as Version 30.0.238745610 (code:3680537) or similar as version may differ slightly depending on device and rom.

Give it a shot and see if that does the trick - it did for me. You have nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain on any custom rom that seems to have similar phone issues to what we have been experiencing.
[G4 Android Development] anonymous1:
Apologies for posting this request here, but I have searched this and multiple other thread to no avail.

Would a kind member please extract the bootanimation from the system folder and share with me?

After installing Magisk, mine has defaulted to a generic 'android' logo rather than the 5 pixel seeds playing leap frog ;)

Many thanks.
[G4 Android Development] fi5z.x9:
In my case, I just observed something odd. After restoring a nandroid backup, I realized that the system/media folder (in root) is gone... just gone. Which makes the boot animation resort to just "static android" image, plus I've lost all my ringtones in settings.
[G4 Android Development] fi5z.x9:
Funny enough my default ringtones still work, but all I see is this
[G4 Android Development] fi5z.x9:
Dirty flashing fixed it.
[G4 Android Development] jjcdennis:
sdembiske, looks like this did fix some of the problem. The dialer now stays visible until I bring the phone to my ear. Then the screen goes blank and will not wake up until the person at the other end hangs up. Do you have the same problem? If not, are you running the xposed module with sensor disabled, or some other app?

Thanks again.
[G4 Android Development] b4rgh3st:
Hi,

I'm looking for the 4.2 N build (H815) but in the official donwloads there's only 4.1.2 and steadfasterX Server seems to be down. Is there another source I'm missing?

While I'm here: How's the camera quality of the N build in comparison to the stock rom?
[G4 Android Development] sdembiske:
No, my screen will wake up with a little movement (like a little side-to-side wave/shake) - not running the exposed module with sensor disabled or any other app. Calls are working as they should. Perhaps check how long in Settings > Display you have set your screen to go off.
[G4 Android Development] Bluto666:
On steadfasterX server: aoscp_h815-4.2-20190118-unofficial.zip

Dont know about the camera quality, but what I know is, that I never had a better camera app, than the original one from LG, but it can only be used with stock LG roms and can not be extracted from them, respectively it won't work in custom roms.
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
It isn't .
[G4 Android Development] slole:
I'm really sorry I'm *that* guy... but what is the status of android pie?
[G4 Android Development] rotoko:
none, probably won't be ...
[G4 Android Development] slole:
Thought so, I just wanted to ask since there is a pie folder on steadfasterX's server.
[G4 Android Development] obvious:
There's still activity behind the scenes but it's a very tough nut to crack. Last I heard both ril and mobile data work for on first boot but then enter a world of fail for subsequent boots.
[G4 Android Development] jjcdennis:
Finally had some time to work on this and had some success. I used the Xposed module sensor disabler and set the max sensor proximity values to max and saved. Since then the phone does not go blank with a call. The Google phone app update was the first part of my fix with the xposed module being part 2 and now all is good.

Thanks for all your help. The phone is working great now with full Bluetooth functionality. When Oero gets a Bluetooth fix I will update, but until then the phone works great.
[G4 Android Development] WiZaRd981:
Pie is not dead :o
[G4 Android Development] fi5z.x9:
Tell me something I don't know. :D
[G4 Android Development] WiZaRd981:
It's not E.O.L. for sure.. Developers are trying hard with testing 10 builds per day these days to get Pie on G4.. So.. :p
[G4 Android Development] slole:
Nice to hear that.
[G4 Android Development] racav1904:
Great work man thanks.

I install kernel auditor and I see that the big cores are off, why it's that? And the baterie it's draining really fast.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
fix what ? you learn how to flash roms.

i dont see any bootloop here. i cant fix ghost bugs sorry.

as long as mine works fine, so should yours.

Also i dont have a magic crystal to look into it , so figure it out.

And idc of that potential you r talking about. Im not selling anything here so idc.

[MENTION=6714849]INFERNO997[/MENTION]

Look at the conversation here

https://xdaforums.com/g4/development/v5-8-5-n7-1-2-resurrection-remix-t3704450/page9

My roms just like my kernel we are moving forward you know. Sorry that I don't update once a month.

Maybe TWRP for custom N, needs an update. Don't know. Tomorrow morning I'll know when I test it.

You must also understand that we are only 3 people working on totally different ways.

Me kernel and roms

Stead is pre-boot which is the most important but he is also working on other projects that all of you will benefit from them

And Astrako who mods and ports pre-built roms
[G4 Android Development] INFERNO997:
I understand what you are saying, and i KNOW HOW TO FLASH ROMS! i am no noob at this, i flashed many roms on my devices and don't disrespect me!

Your rom has almost no bugs and i like it, but a bootloop is unexceptable. I just asked you to fix this and i said "please" if you didn't see.

And we understand that you are NOT a fu**ing team of 200 people and have unlimited budget for this, but fix big things first, focus on small problems after that.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Already said it's not a rom problem !!!

Use another TWRP and see if it will work.

Here I use the experimental version.

For raptor my modded from freedom rom worked.

Test and report to stead if it works.

And soon we will work together to update it.

I know :)

It's so smooth and stable. Please tell me which TWRP you use. Maybe there is something wrong with TWRP or maybe not. I will know tomorrow that I will test more TWRP builds and help our dev with logs to update it.
[G4 Android Development] deezid:
Coming back to AOSCP after trying all the other ROMs. Nothing is nearly as fast as this and I wonder why there's such a huge difference.

Tried newest Resurrection, Lineage and freedom. Resurrection was actually the slowest while AOSCP stays at 60fps almost all the time.
[G4 Android Development] INFERNO997:
I flashed the rom for the second time now, with the same twrp, the flashing works, but second day i get the bootloop, it is not bootlooping for the first time when i install the rom... But maybe the problem was with that my battery was on 0% and the phone shuts off, after that i wasn't able to pass that bootloop. For now it works, if I have any more bootloop i will tell you, maybe we find what is all about.. maybe is twrp ( I am using latest 3.1.1.1 ) but for now no bootloops, time will tell. I didn't notice that on first page it says that you need official LG firmware v29 installed for this rom ? I previously had 6.0 on my device before installing this rom.

So far the rom was great, and I dont know what magic is this but my battery is lasting forever with heavy use, and that is first thing what i am asking with custom rom, you managed to deliver that. Performance is great too, no noticeable lost frames in UI and performance in gaming is good.
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
I can't think of that this has anything to do with twrp...

TWRP is not in the boot chain. It will only be involved when the ROM trigger it. The strange is that when that happens it has to happen always on for all.

Let's see what kessaras tests will show.
[G4 Android Development] INFERNO997:
It is very strange that the twrp is doing something wrong. Do i really need to install first official nougat v29a for this rom ? Because i had 6.0 official and then installed twrp, wiped all (data, cache, dalvik, system, internal storage) .. and then installed the rom .. maybe i am doing something wrong with the installation ?

As i said, I installed the rom for the second time and now everything is working, for now.
[G4 Android Development] tulen_kobi:
Well I also got this behavior once and I was forced the reflash using kdz. I have no idea what is causing it yet.
[G4 Android Development] uzadragos:
Is it just me or the phone charges a little bit slower with this rom? For example, using the same cable and charger, on the v30 port from 90% until 100% phone estimates that will charge in ~10 min....with this rom is estimated for ~20 min. Do i have to change some settings to speed it up a little bit?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
As said: I do *NOT* think that this is the cause of TWRP. It's more likely a combination of how the ROM was flashed and other things.

Really you haven't installed v29a before? Well it MAY boot without flashing this but the whole ROM is based on those blobs. If you don't flash it you may encounter bootloops and things in the ROM may not work, crashing etc.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
And for the last time.

1) follow XDA rules , I don't see any appreciation here. The whole thing is free but I don't see any thanks getting here and I'm getting angry. G4 is not my only phone. Instead of fighting almost alone to bring you up to date with everything I could ignore this phone , build for myself only and develop OP3T where they would appreciate more my work. Or Galaxy S7 too.

2) read the op and when I say read , I mean read carefully. It's written for a reason. You may all think after flashing a dozen of ROMs that you suddenly are experts , but you are not. Most of you don't have a clue. Especially here that we never had an official support and LG abandoned us, because every individual like me for example, I update everything. If you flash something else that's outdated , then you will need to flash several other 'things' that will bring you again up to date.

3) make more reliable reports. What does it mean that it doesn't boot or it bootloop ?

Bootloop my ass. If it bootlooped then I would have noticed it since I use them too. I'm not sharing any crap coming from poor blind development. Read posts below the OP and get yourselfs some knowledge on how to post reports.
[G4 Android Development] INFERNO997:
The developers may consider to put that information somewhere on the top, for example in the install instructions. I don't blame them, just writting it somewhere on the top will resolve many issues as i see on the topic, many people have installed the rom with the official 6.0. As for now, I installed the rom with v29a and notice some improvement in animation fluidity and performance.

Many thanks to developers and we all love you for what you do for free, we just want to help with issues in hope to use that rom in the future.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Dont worry. Adding restriction today to ROM and to TWRP working together on this with Stead.

From now on nobody will be able to flash anything out of order.

The idea was taken from my OP3T.

A mistake will print an Error in TWRP.
[G4 Android Development] INFERNO997:
There, problem solved :) wa all can be civilized and good, if we want. I meant no harm and bad things when i said that i have bootloop, just wanted to make rom best out there, because it has VERY HIGH potencial to be the best rom for this device :) The LG screw the users and our only hope is you and other people that really care for this device, G4 has much more potencial and it is still a great phone.

Even if i have other phone, I still use g4 and respect this device. Don't get nervous, the only thing we all want is stable rom and good experience :)

Best of luck and if you want we can collab and i can help you for some of the design elements, I am android UI designer and have good experience.

Looking forward to install latest build :)

I'm using AOSCP on 810. Don't do this
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Go in terminal and do:

getprop | grep revision

Or from pc terminal

adb shell getprop | grep revision

What did you get
[G4 Android Development] deltadiesel:
We went over this

I'm on 810 using aoscp

My phone is 810. My motherboard is 810. My software was T-Mobile but I wiped it. 6.0 rev 10. My bootloader says unlocked when phone boots

[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
dont confuse me now , i just woke up :)

gimme the output i asked only. ill add 810 firmware to the allowed devices

EDIT:

buh -_- you flash h811 rom. h811 only has MM, no N firmware. its pointless to add restriction. The restriction is for wrong firmware only, so only for h815
[G4 Android Development] deltadiesel:
LG flashed it not me....this is how my phone came.

I just unlocked bootloader flash twrp flashed r ROM gapps that's it

BTW I don't have grep. I don't have android tools installed. And I'm tired of Linux already

Using adb minimal with fastboot

I'm tired steadfaster no reply. He make everything a project

:angel:

If I were developer I would of smashed a lot of computers and phones by now. I have no patience for this kind of stuff. Hopefully repair facility calls...been waiting 2 days they are suppose to take this phone back
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
snapdragon 808 is a 4 core CPU with 2 extra big cores which get a load when the small cores can NOT do the job alone.

The big cores in a few words , they do not do any work, unless the small ones can not handle it.

Think of g4 as a 4 core not 6 cores.

The 2 cores turn on instantly only to process a job which the small cores can't handle and they go back to off again immidiately.
[G4 Android Development] racav1904:
Thanks for the info man, I appreciate it. Great rom.
[G4 Android Development] fi5z.x9:
With all due respect, please make it possible to shut the 2bigcores for good. There're a couple more users complaining of over heating during light usage. However on the latest LOS Oreo rom.. The kernel allows changes to cpu governor and frequency scaling, so I've had mine set to powersave to reduce overheating.

Also not everyone is able to code using [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] guide to disabling the 2bigcores. Thanks.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
No. The kernel is available for everyone + official and unofficial builds all around the world. I won't do core changes. Use sfx guide for that.
[G4 Android Development] racav1904:
I have a problem, I can't install viper4android, anyone else has this problem? And I use blackplayer as my music player but I can't us the amplifier option cause shows me a message that it says that my device don't supported, I install equalizer FX pro and the amplifier option it's not there. Why it's happening this? Anyone can help me please.
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
With every major android version it gets harder and harder to get viper4android working. Obviously it's due to the fact that developers don't actively maintain the app anymore and android itself is rapidly changing. On G4 with 8.1 I've been able to get it working through the magisk module I believe
[G4 Android Development] VladMatao:
Is there still ongoing development on pie / oreo / nougat?
[G4 Android Development] WiZaRd981:

Thank you in advance.

>> Not tested. I don't have G4. Anyone can flash it and send me a full log so that i can continue and have it ready today ?

>> Otherwise it will be ready next week when i have the G4 at my hands.

adb logcat -b all

Start logging asap and

stop logging when you test everything you can test.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
I'l be working on our pie for a few days

EDIT:

I won't need any logs. Seems it's stable.

I'll get the logs I need myself next week to try fix what's left there to fix.

And sorry I kept pie hidden all this time. It's just that I feel like our N is the best for us
[G4 Android Development] gh7531:
Thank You!

Thank you kessaras for still keep the G4 alive and running you are doing an awesome job!

Sadly I'm currently unable to flash it. Would you or anybody who tested it already consider it ready for daily use?
[G4 Android Development] Bluto666:
It can't be ready for daily usage with broken bluetooth-calling!
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
I'm already using it since weeks. I'm just not the type of guy who will post and talk.

Since it's in stable folder , it's stable.
[G4 Android Development] fi5z.x9:
:laugh::laugh:
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
BT voice is fixed. As long as kessaras had integrated the patch it is fixed here as well.
[G4 Android Development] Bluto666:
Oh, Im very glad about that, didnt know this before! :good: :)
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Quite new. Couple of days ago first so no worries ;)
[G4 Android Development] ConradP:
First of all. Great ROM. AWESOME. Thank you.

Question: is the RECENT button gone? Can't enable it. Maybe I am doing something wrong... Help ?
[G4 Android Development] busattovini:
Everything is working fine! Thank you. Just a question: can you add that Digital Wellbeing feature?! It would be perfect.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Easy but that isn't in playstore ?

Disable the swipe up gesture for recent and navbar goes back to old way
[G4 Android Development] busattovini:
Yes, it is, but it's like a hidden app, you know? It should appear in the settings, like an option. I mean, actually, it's not even in the drawer... :silly:
[G4 Android Development] busattovini:
Also, I think that the weather information in the lockscreen isn't updating properly... :(

ATT: now it is!
[G4 Android Development] busattovini:
After some hours testing this ROM, I have to say that it is PERFECT. Maybe the best for my LG. Thank you so much! It's so smooth. ?
[G4 Android Development] aha360:
Yeah it is quite new, and I can confirm that it works, but that's tested with a Gioteck EX-01 earpiece that I had lying around for years, so [MENTION=2826302]Bluto666[/MENTION], you'll now be able to use Bluetooth headsets in phone calls now.
[G4 Android Development] ConradP:
Now that I know how it works. I don't want that button anymore. This slide thing is dope:cool:
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
I enforced in 29-6 , today.

If you are encrypted flash the 28-6 build and wait until add the policies for vold access.

If you are not encrypted , then go ahead and flash latest from today, but don't encrypt before I add vold policies.
[G4 Android Development] ConradP:
Dirty flash is ok?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Ya always dirty ?

You don't need to clean flash same rom in pie.

The system will overwrite the previous system always and the cache will auto clean when there is a change in framework.

You wipe data when you change rom because of the differences in systemui. If you know exactly which data to remove then you wouldn't even need to wipe to flash another rom

*Edit:

We used to wipe system in Oreo because we moved the proprietary files from system to vendor and we didn't want to have any annoying duplicates
[G4 Android Development] busattovini:
Thank you! You're awesome. <3

Oh, do you know how I can use Digital Wellbeing? I've downloaded it again, but nothing happens.
[G4 Android Development] ConradP:
You are my personal LG G4 hero®️?

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

After dirty flashing the new release my gallery app went missing. Any clue what could have happened?
[G4 Android Development] gixxergabi:
Me too...
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Ah my bad , it's me I removed it because I use the Google photos ?

I will add it back on Monday. It will re-appear

You select which hours you sleep and during sleep the phone graphics turn grayscale.

It's useless here. First of all whatever we do we have the same battery consumption with screen on.
[G4 Android Development] ConradP:
Is there an app we can simply flash?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Not today or tomorrow because it's my name day (Paul) and I'm away from Athens.

Just use any or Google photo and with next rom update the gallery app will be back
[G4 Android Development] busattovini:
Google Photos is the best app. It should be the default. I'm using it since it was released, and I think I'll never stop.
[G4 Android Development] sfortier:
Hi,

This pie ROM can be flashed on USUed phone?

Thanks
[G4 Android Development] Bluto666:
But not everyone else wants Google Photos too. I dont want it, I dont need it, I dont want Google to see my pics! So it never should be default!
[G4 Android Development] busattovini:
Haha, it's okay! I understand it. <3
[G4 Android Development] Bluto666:
Link to SuperSu in the initial post is broken, respectively the link in the linked thread. I have found a SuperSu v2.82 SR5 beta file here on XDA-Developers, can I use this or should I use the stable v2.79 or otherwise the official LineageOS root file for Pie? And no, I dont want to use Magisk!
[G4 Android Development] sdembiske:
Yes, it can be flashed, if one removes the Assert line if it's present - refer to post # 947 in the UsU thread for the how-to.

However, there is no UsU patched kernel version for this particular Pie rom so if you experience any operating issues there is no recourse at this stage if it's kernel related. UsU patched kernels are available for the Nougat and Oreo versions only at this stage. You could put a request into steadfasterX to see if any are planned for the Pie versions.
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Nope nothing planned.

Ask [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] why he is too lazy to do UsU builds :laugh:
[G4 Android Development] Bluto666:
Just installed Pie, works smooth, looks great, good job! :)

But how to remove the date line on top of the screen (dont need this, I use Chronus Flex), how to remove the Google bar on bottom of the screen (I dont use the Google assistant and search) and how to change the back button on bottom to the right side?
[G4 Android Development] miXXed404:
I'm facing issue when using my daily apps for example facebook/snapchat/instagram/chrome, most of the time SystemUI just crashes on android 9.0 (aoscp_h815-7.0.0-20190629-unofficial.zip+open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20190628.zip) when using this apps, anyone facing same problem? besides that rom is really smooth, battery life is better than oreo but i need stable daily rom so i reverted back to oreo, in few days i will provide needed logcat/video how to reproduce this because i really need phone now.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
I can't add several msm8992 kernels for several variants in the official.

Best way to boot this is to build a pie usu kernel that can boot.

I can prepare the trees if [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] agree to build them at least once monthly in a schedule.

We are not RR or AICP here. What you see is what you get.

No crashes here.

You probably did not clean.

I use them all fine here.
[G4 Android Development] busattovini:
No crashes here as well. This ROM is something special. <3
