- Flash the latest firmware

- Flash the GApps package if you use it

- Flash Magisk if you need root

THERE IS NO NEED FOR A FACTORY RESET IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, AND ALL OF THE PACKAGES NEED TO BE FLASHED EVERY FIRMWARE UPDATE ON THIS CUSTOM FIRMWARE AS SURVIVAL SCRIPT SUPPORT IS NONEXISTENT, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED!

Huh, well, I cannot even gain access to the camera at all sadly.
[G4 Android Development] michael_0394:
Thank you so much for that information! Btw has anyone tried using Google camera on the latest build? I'm seeing a lot of people having issues with the stock AOSP camera.
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
Works fine here... 01/10 build ofc
[G4 Android Development] aha360:
Google Camera app loads up with the UI, but the screen is black, and thus, fails to access the camera.

Talk about weird man - mixed reports across the board.
[G4 Android Development] obvious:
I've edited my earlier post cos I forgot to say it was referring to downloaded Google cam (from play).

Cam in rom crashes on start lol. I'll try clearing data...
[G4 Android Development] aha360:
You can try, but I've tried this, and the camera still crashes.
[G4 Android Development] obvious:
Here are a couple of crashes from built in cam app.

The second one is after clearing data.
[G4 Android Development] cartman_73:
Me too, I dirty flashed over the 8th build.

Snap camera and Google camera it works fine.
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
If you use Arnova Google camera then that one never worked for me. I'm using BSG (I believe) and everything is working fine. I have occasionally camera crash but only if photo WASN'T taken with HDR+
[G4 Android Development] sperelli:
i dirty flashed 1001 over 0801, cameras are not working.
[G4 Android Development] chris-89:
On all builds google camera from arnova works fine here. Also with hdr+. I didn't checked it on the 10th build. I will test it later and report.
[G4 Android Development] cartman_73:
I don't see anymore charger animation on the status bar either lockscreen. Furthermore, I have a slowly UI to open any app or actions.

I just set animation scaling in developer options to 0.5 but it's the same.

do anyone have the same issue?
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
Trusted face WORKS but...

Notice that launching front camera takes some time as well. Same goes for smart lock. If you wait 5-10s for it to initiate then it'll recognize you ;)
[G4 Android Development] Lurensu:
Yeah it works, but honestly it doesn't make sense if I have to wait 7 seconds for it to access camera, at this point it's quicker to just enter the pattern
[G4 Android Development] marn3us:
Charging animations don't appear on my phone as well, but for UI smoothness a simple reboot should fix the issue.

If UI is still not smooth enough for your taste then go to Kernel Adiutor and change the following:

- Big Cores max speed from 1632 to 1824mhz

- Big cores governor from conservative to blu_active

- Turn on Fastlane for small cores.

Your G4 will become speedy as a lightning ;)
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
Is better then nothing when you don't want to show your pattern at all
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
hals in g4 are not working with stock camera app.

forget stock app because i want to have max quality.

speed ok. i removed a few blobs and speed is ok.

But really......... you people dont even know what you want. I maxed the quality and you asked me to lower it to improve the speed.

This time it will be like that and i wont change it again. I will share later at night. im at work all day.

EDIT:

explaining.

when i add hal to use camera msm8992, our camera, some profiles in media profiles do not work so settings in cam app crash.

when i remove that we have a very low quality.

when i add power hal it enables all sensors during the camera use so the quality is top (adding some blobs too to make it work), but load time is very very slow.

when i remove those we have lower quality but fast load time.

Really.... g4 hals are a sh*t
[G4 Android Development] Ironic:
I, for myself, can't change any of the frequencies. And i never heard about Fastlane.

But with my previous posted settings it's also fast as f :p

Do you know how to manually change the top frequency at the govenor lvl?

[MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION]

Why dont you just offer some zip's to flash what we want to use?

You're talking about very low quality. The stock LG cam was great, and the loading speed was also great.
[G4 Android Development] limfurriku01:
If we have to decide Better quality or faster camera I will choose better quality. I think all agree with this.

And about stock camera application we can use Google Camera, the only problem is that when we want to change camera settings it crashes.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
all these are betas. im doing them to make it as closer to stable it can be until the official release date of Android Oreo. Google does the same we are all guinea pigs.

Anyway. I can't build 3 or 4 different builds to satisfy all humanity. I've got life too. And don't forget that all these are free. I don't get paid. I need to go to work for that.

im that side too but slow cam breaks the damn face unlock ( or just needs time to unlock until camera is launched, like Minto said earlier ).

Don't know. i will keep experimenting until i result to something between.

EDIT:

Anyhow, for now i only need to fix this:

Invalid FV data fv_scale wrong

so that the settings wont crash. if i fix it we will have the same quality as stock based without crash.

and whoever needs speed he only has to remove the power.qcom.so lib. I will keep researching this.
[G4 Android Development] Lurensu:
Exactly!

I'm fine with the start time of the camera (Actually I don't even use the camera that much on a phone), but I really use face unlock a lot so this is reason why I prefer the quicker camera...

Anyway thank you for all your effort and sorry if I'm complaining too much!
[G4 Android Development] chris-89:
For me, i do not care about the start-time of the camera. I prefer better quality and i don't use face unlock. But thats only my opinion.

But as kessaras said, when the start-time is too long for somebody, the one must remove the libs.

So keep up the fantastic work on our g4 [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] :good:
[G4 Android Development] marn3us:
I don't understand what do you mean to be honest, but to change frequencies you can simply download Kernel Adiutor from Play Store.

Fastlane is specific parameter of Blu_Active and if you enable it the phone becomes a bit quicker at the expense of some battery life.

I think it doesn't make any sense for [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] to give us zips when we can just download Kernel Adiutor ;)
[G4 Android Development] obvious:
I'm the opposite. A camera is not a camera if it can't take a photo before the opportunity is lost.

But anyway, if the past is anything to go by, I wouldn't be surprised if kessaras finds a way to have both.
[G4 Android Development] MichelNijhuis:
Developer, good job and keep improving! Could you please check why the GPS function is not working for the latest Tomtom_Go_Navigazione_e_Traffico_v1.17.1_Build_2121?

(All permissions are correctly set). Google maps is also not working. Checked today with latest clean ROM. Help!
[G4 Android Development] stratonz:
Hello, I have still problems with gps. In AOSCP version 0101 GPS works perfectly, with 0701 or 0801 not, I mean that phone can't see satellites. GPS status shows 0 seen 0 fixed. I've restarted from v29a tot image and cleanest install: nothing... 0101 works 0801 not. I've take some logs with matlog, as suggested, but there's anything about GPS or location error and the logs for working 0101 version and "buggy" 0801 are exactly the same. I've put my phone for more than a hour on the window with GPS status opened: nothing. Dirty install of 0801 over working 0101: no way!

Some suggestions? Thanks in advance.

GPS working in the newest ROM?
[G4 Android Development] stratonz:
Not for me. I've forgotten to say that with 10/01 version it's the same...

[G4 Android Development] MichelNijhuis:
GPS is not working on TomTom and google maps. (Edit)

Really need this gps fixed please
[G4 Android Development] cartman_73:
Yes, I'm testing it at this moment.
[G4 Android Development] ziomus684:
If someone has problem with black screen, he have to disable "tap to wake" function. Modem from stock ROM 7.0 is included in AOSP? When will be official AOSP?
[G4 Android Development] aha360:
In all honesty, regarding [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] et Al's camera problem, I'd prefer camera quality over camera launch speed as well, especially when custom firmwares aren't known to be great in the camera picture quality department.
[G4 Android Development] #ApolloLiteProblems:
[MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] will there be another build up today? If not I'll download yesterday's build. Thanks!
[G4 Android Development] raptorddd:
another vote for quality over speed. :)
[G4 Android Development] cartman_73:
Try to change governor to blue_wave, modem should be not present, you can get into this forum
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Do something for me before I build.

Open terminal someone with root access and do:

rm /dev/media3

rm /dev/media4

After that:

stop cameraserver

start cameraserver

Crash is fixed. What I need is you guys tell me if load speed improved too. How many sec it takes to load the camera app after that.

Do it twice because after stopping camera server it takes many seconds to reload the service.

And please asap because I want to know if I remove the power lib or not

Yes after I get an answer to this
[G4 Android Development] Ironic:
I think you misunderstood me. I don't use Kernel Adiutor but EX Kernel Manager. That doesn't change anything about the fact, that the max cpu frequency is locked on the interactive governor (jumps back if select any other frequency). I would like to know how to edit the govenors max frequency.

Yeah that makes no sense. But in fact i meant zips for the camera and not the cpu settings ;)
[G4 Android Development] obvious:
9 seconds with built in cam (and Google too)

Shot to shot speed is phenomenal.

Something must be timing out during load. I know you are

all over it :)

Btw, do you want any gps logs?
[G4 Android Development] lordc:
6-7 before

7 after

Gcam times
[G4 Android Development] obvious:
Media 3 and 4 are back after reboot but I guess this is expected
[G4 Android Development] #ApolloLiteProblems:
I'm running the 10/1 build rn and it's lightning fast. Wow. I love this. Thanks so much for all your work [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION]
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
great. removing then power libs. it will break just the sensors loading together with the cam that help in a better ois and a little clearer zoom.

quality will be same with the stock based roms not better.

Sometimes its better not to fix something.... what can i say... i guess LG knew that already too.

yup. its in ramdisk. the only way to get rid of them is to build new ramdisk without them.

Lol :D

you came from dirty flash without wiping anything, thats why. dont wipe, you and me we were the lucky ones.

But people who wiped realised first the cam latency. Fixing it now.
[G4 Android Development] cartman_73:
Built in camera

For the first start it takes 9 sec

For the second one 7 sec

Snap camera

5 sec

Thanks for your committment
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
those are auto max according to thermal manager. its just how LG made their source.

default max freq they are auto unless i personally lower them.

Another way is to remove that and return them to manual control but its useless.

You dont save battery this way. You only prelong the load time of everything causing the same battery drain in the end , but you have a phone working a couple of C temp lower. Instead of going up to 40 for example it will go up to 38 C. Battery drain is exactly the same because you wait more time for the cores to finish the background processes and services work they were ordered to finish.
[G4 Android Development] #ApolloLiteProblems:
Lol, I was on RR 5.8.2 and did a full wipe and clean flash. Camera loaded for 20 seconds then crashed.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
fix Camera and maybe RIL too until clean builds are ready.

Because its late and i need some rest, unzip this and flash it and you will fix everything until tomorrow morning.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

If you are rooted simply reboot to recovery and flash your root.

Ril will propably get fixed too after a few reboot. Im testing something that it will reduce the sim not found on boot.

Reduce not fix. Thats propably something can't get fixed here on this phone due to strict android O security that blocks the read write for ril.
[G4 Android Development] obvious:
It works, thanks. No more camera crash

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

Performed 5 reboots with new boot.img. Network signal acquired every time without fail.

Probably unrelated but twrp 93 couldn't see internal sd until I remounted it.
[G4 Android Development] MichelNijhuis:
[MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] thank you for all your work.

The following items are not working.

*GPS in google maps and tomtomgo (important issue)

*reboot or complete shutdown "no simcard detected"

*camera as many people mention, but you found the fix already.

We are looking forward to download and test the new release :)

Thanks!

Missing MAC Adress after Flash

As you advised, I flashed after V29a, but for the 3rd time the MAC Adress of the WiFi is missing. I went back to 29a, made a copy of the efs, flashed aoscp and restored efs, that didn't work. Any Ideas?
[G4 Android Development] Ironic:
I dont want to lower the frequency, it want to increase it because this phone is not really fast with 1248 and 1440Mhz max.

But please fix the infrared sensor. It's not working in any of the anymote versions.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
GPS is working and I don't know why it doesn't with 3rd party apps. Google maps is fine.

Ir is working I just used it to control my TV.

No sim card looks fixed , same goes with the camera when I share next build.

Flashlight tile forget it , it won't get fixed it's Hal issue and Hals are correct right now , so.... Use kenzo flashlight tile fix from playstore.

Somehow you deleted the file in data partition that has the Mac address inside. I don't remember how I fixed it here when I deleted it by mistake. I will check it and tell you in a few minutes how to fix it.

EDIT:

First of all you should be honest to your self. Flashing system partition and boot partition doesn't delete the mac address. So it didn't happen after you flashed the rom.

I guess it was already deleted but using a stock based rom you didn't realise it because they handle mac differently.

mac address is in 2 places:

1.

/data/misc/wifi/config

in config you should have:

cur_etheraddr=00.00.00.00.00.00 <<--- your mac address.

another example here : https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/how-to/guide-fix-wifi-mac-address-changing-t3533841

{{ Backup and restore data partition doesn't work as a fix. manually write your mac}}

2.

in misc partition. if its deleted there then you need to manually edit your misc partition. its in assemply language , hex values. Use ghex app if you r on linux.

OR flash kdz and restore to full stock everything.
[G4 Android Development] obvious:
No gps lock here either. Various gps tools see no satellites
[G4 Android Development] nocio:
I guess i'm the lucky one haha. I don't have any problem with sim card, it always recognize it after reboot on shuting down to replace battery.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
I think it's the developers of most of the apps that don't have updated to Android O and as a result develop for Android O. Don't forget that only 0.5 % of the phones in the market have Android O 8.1

Example here Viber can see fine my location. Same goes with telegram and several apps.

The others need to fix their manifests not us ?

In android O, as said before, security is strict.

There are very specific ports that must be used to access different sensors. Maybe those devs don't use those ports yet.
[G4 Android Development] deltadiesel:
Please update original post
[G4 Android Development] deltadiesel:
Play store keeps crashing for me
[G4 Android Development] marn3us:
Did you clean flash ROM and Gapps? I have zero problems with latest AOSCP update :)

If you had indeed clean flashed, what gapps are you using? I suggest Open Gapps since they have proven to never give me any problem over the last years.

Hope it helps!
[G4 Android Development] deltadiesel:
Someone plz tell me how to get titan kernel off my phone

This is the last time I'm flashing kernel

Every time I do it it ***** up my phone

I need stock back

BTW I have a pre release 811

My phone doesn't like kernels

Already learned hard way flashing another kernel before
[G4 Android Development] kinuris:
Before any ROM installation (not updating same ROM) remember wipe data and both caches. Always. Your problems are not kernel related, but a dirty installation.

I think you have to backup your apps with Titanium backup, then go to recovery, wipe data and caches, and install the ROM you prefer. Remember Gapps should be arm64, when you download, and corresponding to the android your next ROM is based on, like Nougat or MM.

As for the ROM, I'm using Freedom, then Titan kernel, and getting the best experience with this phone. Next week I will go for this ROM. Regards.
[G4 Android Development] deltadiesel:
I know how to do clean flash it is good now

But I still need to get rid of the titan kernel

I have PRE RELEASE 811.... My phone does not like it

As nice as it may be

It will not take certain ROMs and kernels it does not like either

Ie. Depacito ROM, freedom rom, sweetlamal kernel, aklu kernel

DO NOT work with my phone

I have 2gb ram, and when you play with voltage my phone won't charge
[G4 Android Development] deltadiesel:
If you really think I'm kidding
[G4 Android Development] kinuris:
Well, if you don't have a nandroid backup, I think your way is flash original ROM (kdz's). Remember to backup what you have in your internal storage. Or maybe better, you can pick up a boot.img of any stock untouched rom for your phone (look into the .zip), and flash it from TWRP. Remember that you have to choose "flash image" from botton right in recovery when choosing "Install". Then you will have an original stock kernel.

And forgive me if I look like too much "educational".. I'm only trying to help.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
this rom is on pair with Titan kernel and idc if the pre-released h811 likes it or not. Thats something you should yell at LG developers not me.

And im not gonna start building 1 more kernel just for stock. If you want to have stock kernel , flash Lineage official or Lineage Unofficial with the stock genessixxbf3 nougat sources.

For the god sake................ im already developing 8 different builds of kernel and 3 roms

and in the background im also building Lineage with OMS support which i just havent shared it yet in public. i dont have time for more. so......... your phone doesn't like custom kernels ? ok..... flash stock......... but me , i ain't building it, sorry. No time for that ! Really no time at all.

I even haven't shared yet the new fixes for my Titan kernel for LOS based roms cause of lack of time............
[G4 Android Development] kinuris:
I would like too see how you are. I'm sure you have 3 brains and 8 arms, and come from a galaxy far far away.... LOL. ;)
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Lol !

?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
this is the latest ( for now ) google cam app , extracted from gapps and packed into installable .apk.

https://www.xda-developers.com/download-google-camera-motion-photo/

confirmed -> working ofc.

But still , the snapdragon camera app has faster focus and beautify effect which places it no1 for me.
[G4 Android Development] Litderose:
I hadn't tried the application yet but now, it's done!

For me, it's the best camera app for my G4 using Astrako's H-rom G6 port.

Big thanks Kessaras !
[G4 Android Development] deltadiesel:
ROM is working well

Any update on Bluetooth and. torch?

Can you also add enable disable location to menu
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
well... eventhough i fixed the bugs , the torch tile didn't appear.

Bluetooth is fine.

Location is there already
[G4 Android Development] deltadiesel:
I don't see a location text tile

I suppose you could torch as an app

Biggest issue I have with this ROM is gallery is gone as well as alarm.....

How am I suppose to find pics I want to send?

Simple things make me mad because playstore apps contain ada or arnt very good

GREAT ROM though....you got me to switch from my normal ROM I been using for long time now
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
1. location tile is there. clean flash tomorrow sundays update and check.

2. gallery is back already but the update is tomorrow. Also the play store is full of gallery apps. i dont see the reason you dont use one, but anyway, its back.

3. why install back the alarm ? i said a week ago that aosp = google. why dont you download the google alarm from playstore ? its the same app COPY/PASTE !!!!!
[G4 Android Development] Minto107:
You're complaining about size of text? Jeez kids these days... Kernel has nothing to do with text on screen lol. All non LG based ROMs for G4 uses 560dpi instead of 640. I think OEMs should do exam for everyone who wants to unlock bootloader...
[G4 Android Development] jurastefo:
I would like install this rom but my question is quality of camera vs stock rom camera. It is for me very important. Now I am using G6 port from Astrako and satisfied it.:)
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
"im satisfied" means that i'm not looking for a change.

camera is perfect.
[G4 Android Development] stratonz:
Unfortunately, I've tested that it doesn't depend from apps but from rom (or kernel)... For me Viber can't see my positions and, as I said in a earlier post, in ROM version 0101 GPS works in all apps (GPS status, maps, etc). In later versions 0701, 0801 and 1001 gps doesn't work, so I think it depends from a change occured from 0101 to 0701 that maybe you could understand which... The strange thing is that for me doesn't work with a cleanest installation (v29a tot, twrp, rom, just maps and gps status) and instead for someone else it works (as they say). :(

I wait hopeful in a next fully working build! Thanks kessaras (and every other involved oreo devs) for your hard work :good::good:
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
the fully working build is there already.

everything works. only flashlight tile doesn't and it won't ever get fixed.

sadly i can't do anything else for you or for anyone else who has issues as of now this rom is stable and its how the official is gonna be in a few days.

Adding:

Since they work here, they should work everywhere. It's on every individual to do this right and have everything working good.
[G4 Android Development] Lurensu:
Running latest 12th jan build, everything running great here!

But the search option in the settings app causes it to crash immediately, can anyone confirm this?
[G4 Android Development] macpak:
No problems with your latest build (apart from flashlight). Camera loads fast so does GPS. The system is quite snappy. Thanks again!
[G4 Android Development] aha360:
Yep, I can confirm this, and there's a logcat file attached to this post. Remember, if there is an OS-level bug, it would help to post a logcat file, and for boot-time bugs, a dmesg log would help
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Yup it does. I was just bored to fix it. Kept that for tomorrow
