It does charge even if it doesn't show it's charging, ROM doesn't handle charging

Bluetooth tethering works tho :D

I came across another post that was made by you here:

https://xdaforums.com/g4/development/h815-nougat-stock-t3659860

Do you think this will fix my problem? It says it flashes stock recovery and stock ROM again, right?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
It helps , but,

You only need the recovery. You will lose time for nothing.

On sfx server you will find the stock v29 and a folder with v29 splitted to pieces. The recovery.img from in there will fix your problem.

Or ask stead in his thread which of the twrp fixes the unlimited loop that you always boot to TWRP only
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
No. I already answered this a couple of posts ago. But it gets ignored.

https://xdaforums.com/g4/development/g4-cypheros-t3680102/post75031781

Sigh..
[G4 Android Development] RogerBoy123:
Sorry for ignoring your answer bro. :( Will definitely try, but got a question: I don't think I have v29a, so do I need to download the custom-mm preview, or another one? If I need another one, tell me which one is the best?
[G4 Android Development] sperelli:
new little issue: Bt works perfectly in pairing devices, yet in call audio through car system is very distorted.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
buh... we hardly ever had it working with call + car.....

our phone is a frankenstein. blobs from everywhere , LG ones are from a beta rom and sources from korean...

be happy it is at that level, lol.
[G4 Android Development] A_Kirsh:
I'm experiencing the BT issue as well. Maybe it has to do with the fact that O brought lots of changes for Bluetooth, and the blobs for it are from N.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
for sure. its hard to develop a newer sdk with older sdk blobs and sources.

it will have for sure many issues. you can't even imagine how hard it was to make it work this good.

the only thing i dont like is the cam quality, but i don't know how to improve that now in O with N blobs.

We are back to the lame quality we always had in N with MM blobs so many years
[G4 Android Development] Frazzy:
In Nougat there were no issues at all with Bluetooth calling. Not in my car nor on my motorcycle. Maybe you can reuse parts of that ROM?
[G4 Android Development] MineClashTVYT:
The Snapdragon Camera app that you've linked in the first or second post doesn't work. Crashes at start. I know, nothing too serious, but i just wanted to say it
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
Good luck trying to use Nougat ROM parts in Oreo where Bluetooth went under heavy changes

Snapdragon camera was meant to work with Nougat version of the ROM and not Oreo... I use Google camera and quality isn't the worst tbh I thought it may be way worse [emoji14]
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
hahaha , i really enjoyed this answer ! About the nougat parts. It was exactly my thoughts.

To be more precise its all nougat parts and good luck to me trying to get them all to work 100% on Oreo !!!

hahahaha !

Of course this one thing with the car was always a problem to me. i don't have a car with bluetooth. My Vauxhall Astra OPC is year 2010. No bluetooth call.

Maybe someone could buy me the newer model, the new OPC that has bluetooth so i can debug it and fix it :D

EDIT:

You see the developer is poor. I may have learnt recently many things over these stuff but my job sucks !

I will try in near future do what I can with a simple Bluetooth handset. Can't debug using car Bluetooth ?
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
My upcoming car has no Bluetooth either, only auxiliary input so I'm glad that viper4android still works on Oreo(I think that quality is better than ever :P) but Astra OPC is nice, I'd like something little bit bigger but for the city or shorter distances it must be fun :D
[G4 Android Development] Mass13:
can I just flash aoscp_h815-5.1-20171230-unofficial.zip over latest LineageOS (with wipe data of course) ?

Thanks !
[G4 Android Development] Frazzy:
Didn't know about the Bluetooth overhaul. If you tell me what you want tested I can provide log files.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
los is sdk 25 and O 8.1 is sdk 27. No way.

can't jump 2 sdks without errors

well... its not that its not working. its a quality issue.

its not something done in a few minutes.

It needs to strace that and see every little detail and go make changes in kernel level, and it will only work if hardware can support it too.

I mean its not something anyone can simply do, strace is not like logcat that is easy.

EDIT:

so if you can strace that then yes i could improve it........

me i will just do what i can with handset here
[G4 Android Development] straightup:
@kessaras I saw you said the camera quality in the Oreo ROM is not good, so how it is compares to N, because camera quality is important for me and do you recommend to use N over O for better photos, or the difference is not so big? Thanks!
[G4 Android Development] choice2rejoice:
??????? what the....
[G4 Android Development] sperelli:
indeed i am, and veeeery thankful to you and your team, too! on all your latest rr, never had issues with bt.

;)
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
N. It's big. Like it was in N before we have v29 blobs
[G4 Android Development] straightup:
Thank you! Hope in the future there will be a way to improve Oreo’s cam quality.
[G4 Android Development] Mass13:
2 additional questions

Bluetooth

What about Bluetooth in car ? On LOS 14.1 actually I never had an issue, always streaming web radio and phone calls

Battery

What about battery life ? How long ?

Thanks ! :fingers-crossed:
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
It's all good.

This quality problem with the camera now is a good example for those who asked me what's different when I made nougat with nougat blobs.

In order to boot Oreo and also make it stable , I was forced to use several blobs from here and there.

This results in a bad quality.

It's another thing to have compatible blobs and another thing to have your device blobs.

In the next days I will perform several experiments with several blobs from around again in order to find the best possible camera quality.

Edit:

Maybe...

LG g5 has imx234 camera too. Maybe , I say maybe, if LG g5 gets Oreo stock, I can use camera blobs from there and achieve max quality again.

[MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] does this 01/01/2018 build have the sim card bug fixed?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
nope.

and it will rebuild cache because of the framework changes. let it take its time

EDIT:

Look, here after more than 20 reboots i still can't reproduce the issue.

I may have fixed it , i may not. im experimenting with that.

i did a little something.... and im still testing.
[G4 Android Development] Mass13:
I love this ROM !

Only 1 thing I maybe missed, flashlight is not working anymore, anybody ?

Big up & thanks to dev !
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Needs a shim but I don't know which one , lol.

Will fix it eventually. If you root you can also use the flashlight tile fix kenzo
[G4 Android Development] Mass13:
I'll wait, no urge to root here anymore, thanks :good:
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
And why would there be whole section of those settings if not Bluetooth got serious changes? :P

We'll be trying to get android P working by time G5 will get Oreo lol

changelog

any changelog for aoscp_h815-5.1-20180101-unofficial ?

I had to make some phonecalls while driving to work (as usual), bluetooth is horrible indeed :eek:

Is there already known what the cause is of the distortion, or still analysing ?

I don't want to push, I know this is not done on this forum, just wondering if it's already known when this will be fixed, otherwise I'll have to go to another ROM (what do you suggest, coming from LOS 14.1 :)) until BT is fixed

Thanks ! :good:
[G4 Android Development] Monkeypox95:
BT while driving is a known issue. Read few posts earlier.

I would recommand Resurection Remix ROM as an alternative.
[G4 Android Development] Frazzy:
In my work (.net developer) there is a strict separation of how you present stuff and what happens under the hood. So if something looks different it's not guaranteed it is different code running in the backend.

I briefly looked in to it and it doesn't look to complex.

Do you know the process you want a strace of? Of do I need to isolate that to?

Do you have experience with the Linux emulator app? It has strace support. Otherwise I'll look for a old laptop and install Linux.
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
True, but Bluetooth rework was one of the main changes in Oreo ;)
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
humpfff, ill tell you when i'm ready for bluetooth strace.

there are still little things not working at all. Can't give priority to bluetooth|car audio quality.

camera: photos are saved compressed full of bad pixels.

hotspot: not connecting.

thermal: crashing|force closing apps when phone gets hot instead of only reducing cpu.

flashlight tile: crash camera server.

gps: loc api2 error. (im into this now). im checking a new way to find location instead of using the apis. if that doesnt work i need to just add loc api2.

So , i'll tell you when it's bluetooth audio quality turn
[G4 Android Development] bedencic:
IR doesnt work either
[G4 Android Development] Monkeypox95:
USB tethering too !
[G4 Android Development] Lurensu:
Is the sim card issue fixed for you with the latest build?

On my device it's still not recognized most of the time
[G4 Android Development] Frazzy:
It wasn't meant to rush you into anything. I just want to be ready when I can be of assistance. Do you have experience with the emulator and strace?

[G4 Android Development] straightup:
How can I remove the stock Google Camera App, because when I try to install the Google Camera HDR app the installation is unsuccessful and i believe it's due to that there is a Google Camera App already, which i can deactivate only. I'm with Nougat.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
3rd party app ?

app remover , sdmaid , my android tools, many apps.

File manager and delete the folder apk, /system/priv-app/GoogleCamera
[G4 Android Development] straightup:
Thank you and sorry for the lame question - should I first delete the app with the 3rd party application and then delete the folder, or only remove/delete folder is enough?

Another thing - how is Snapdragon camera compared to the Google Cam, because for example i read the Snap's HDR is dummy and not working.

EDIT: It still says the app was not installed, because it's with a conflict with another package with the same name.

EDIT2: I have deleted the folder but there is always GoogleCamera.apk poccess/folder 0 bytes which cannot be removed with any kind of program, or at least i cant find a proper one.

Thanks!
[G4 Android Development] cartman_73:
It should be solved, it doesn't appear anymore for me, sometimes it slowly to register it in the network
[G4 Android Development] Lurensu:
Are you on the 1st january build?

Have you done a clean flash to install it?
[G4 Android Development] straightup:
How can i remove the date from the home screen which is on the top right corner of the screen?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Did you reboot after deleting it ??? It must rebuild cache.

The date can't be removed this is not RR ?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
It's not solved. It's just less frequent to happen.

And doesn't show up any error also. So it's not something I can fix fast. So I focus on other stuff now more important.

Everyone relax and enjoy oreo and don't do this everyday.

I will fix them. I'm solo here. Im not even in a channel to ask anyone anything. Everything has been done solo. So.... That's as fast as one person alone can go. Can't go faster.

Edit: almost solo
[G4 Android Development] straightup:
After rebooting the device everything went OK with the installation, but when i started the cam i received the following message:

"Camera has stopped"

started it again, and:

"Camera keeps stopping"

So I cant put a widget on the top of the screen, because of the date?
[G4 Android Development] cartman_73:
Anyway I'm on 1th January with wipe system, cahche, art over previous release.

After flashed the ROM, flash again gapps and root.
[G4 Android Development] Lurensu:
Sorry, I just asked because I was not sure if I did everything right updating to the latest build since I'm a noob here...

I'm really loving this ROM, thanks!
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
this doesnt happen, all work fine. flash clean
[G4 Android Development] lordc:
Maybe the blob stuff is related with raw camera photo problems?

This helped, but there are too many different Google Cam variants, with all these bugs and settings... meh.

So please advise me which one is better between the Google Cam (stock) and the Snapdragon Cam (and please tell me if the Snapdragon HDR is working or it's dummy)

will share tomorrow, im doing some tests first

Hey kesseras, my problems with booting are solved, and I'm currently on one of your Oreo builds! I have only 1 problem though: It' s saying that my 'Files' and 'System' section both take up 10 GB! Is this a known bug or a problem that only occured to me? I provided a screenshot for proof.
[G4 Android Development] KingKron:
Mine says 8.1gb
[G4 Android Development] aha360:
Looks normal, considering the stock ROM and its contents on my phone takes up 10GB
[G4 Android Development] RogerBoy123:
My system now says 8.4 GB. Weird...
[G4 Android Development] RogerBoy123:
I've got a new problem! It doesn't detect my SIM card anymore! :crying:
[G4 Android Development] Frazzy:
This has been discussed many times before. Reboot a couple of times untill it does detect the Sim.

If you want to run "experimental" ROMs (no offence kessares ?) I would advice you to keep up with the tread and read every post so you know what issues there are and what possible solutions they have.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Google Camera will now work at max quality.

https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=google+camera

I dont know about the modded version. The official will work for sure.

The problem is not in blobs anymore. The problem is propably at the compression algorithm the stock native camera app uses to save the photos and videos.

So that will be fixed later as we fix and improve Oreo.
[G4 Android Development] ziomus684:
In my opinion, now the quality of the camera is worse. I use moded apk: MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.0.
[G4 Android Development] RogerBoy123:
Is it normal that picture-in-picture doesn't work on my G4, even if the apps fully support it? I've read that YouTube needs YouTube Red in order for it to work, but it doesn't work on other apps either...

On my device it works flawlessly, which apps have you tried?

If you root you can also install a modded youtube app which supports pip (I'm using it)

First impressions for up to 03/01 build is that it's running warm leading to poor battery life. It's early days yet. Just for info.

Oreo works fine, good job! I Just want to ask if there is a way to make the home button more responsive because 2/3 of the times it doesn't work, back and multitasking are fine
[G4 Android Development] Frazzy:
The home button is reacting fine but it is smaller than before. You really need to hit the dot now. I think it's better with typing now. I've hit the home button a lot when typing. Not anymore.

It took me a day to get used to but now it's better than before IMHO
[G4 Android Development] Ironic:
Just because it has not been answered before:

How does the rom perform as daily driver now after Kessara (big thanks to you) fixed most of the problems? How does the battery perform?

[G4 Android Development] aha360:
From what I have read, the following seems to work without problems by alpha/beta standards:

- Camera - stills and video (stock camera app may not do a good job of taking photos but from what I have seen now, the stock camera performs the same as any other camera application)

- RIL - calls and mobile data

- USB and Bluetooth tethering (portable hotspot is broken)

- Audio works without issues

The following is known to have problems:

- SIM detection - most people say that it works, but there are times whereby you will need to reboot to get it to work

- Bluetooth in-car audio is distorted

- Addon.d support (survival scripts) is broken, hence the need to re-flash things like GApps, and modify the Hosts file to block advertisements on every ROM re-flash.

I personally do not know much about the battery life when it comes to using the Oreo ROM, as I am in the process of moving over to Oreo.

HOWEVER, there IS one question I WOULD LIKE TO ASK regarding changing Android OSes - can I install Oreo straight from a current stock Lollipop ROM setup, or do I have to update my phone to stock Nougat completely, complete with the bootloader first, before I go onto Oreo? The reason for me asking this is because information for custom ROM help and installation assistance is literally all over the place for this phone on this forum, compared to the other forums, like the LG G3, which I used to have until it broke twice, and I have received a replacement LG G4 in its place, and the Moto G LTE XT1039, which I still have.

Thanks.

I've tried youtube, chrome and maps so far, but I never get pip. I started watching video's on both youtube and chrome, then pressed the home button while watching fullscreen, but no pip. I also opened maps, then pressed home button also, but still no pip...
[G4 Android Development] Frazzy:
If you mean maps floating over another app when navigating, that works fine with me using the latest unofficial 8.1 Gapps stock? You have to be navigating for it to work tho.
[G4 Android Development] Lurensu:
Youtube won't work unless you have youtube red or the modded app, maps will work only if you're in navigation mode.. Did you give all the permission to the apps?
[G4 Android Development] RogerBoy123:
Yes, every app that supports pip has permissions enabled. I know about the whole YouTube Red thing, but what I don't understand is why Chrome and Whatsapp don't go in pip mode whenever i'm pressing home.
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
That's a good SOT(at least for me). If you've just installed this ROM you must give it a few days to calibrate and stabilise, battery life will get better eventually

Only phone calls are distorted.

Also I notice on my car that mobile signal is 0%, no bars, while on the phone I have full quality.

[IMG="Android Oreo"]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DSsLVXWWkAcyrt-?format=jpg[/IMG]

Well, after installing Android Oreo on both the LG G4 (and the Moto G LTE but that is not what I am going to talk about here), I have given it a test run, and to my surprise, almost everything that is essential works without issues, which is fantastic, considering the situation this particular phone is in with regards to custom ROM development.

Well done [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] et al - that said though, good luck, and Godspeed with the remaining bugs.
[G4 Android Development] nigxxx:
[MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] yes i am on v29a, so just flash oreo and gapps

thx, i will try
[G4 Android Development] RogerBoy123:
OK, same thing confirmed here, out of Chrome, WhatsApp and Maps only Maps navigation seems to work with pip.
