I can't test Pie and therefor cannot speak for it, sorry. I need a reliable phone and have no option to tinker around with pie while needing a 100% working phone. (Pie is not yet official lineageOS version for d855, which gets the microg update automatically. furthermore I heavily rely on a working xposed version. All that is only available for the oreo version so far.)

But where is the difference - gps wise - between Oreo and Pie? any new config files or some other specific gps update that would help?
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
There was rootdir update in Pie, which I think can help with GPS.

Also, the official LineageOS is developed by me and the only difference between normal and these builds is the OTA updater, so no worries while using unofficial.
[G3 Android Development] Zirila:
rootdir update? some files/folders in the root dir have been updated? I think it depends on which files and folders have been updated and whether they are gps specific. otherwise it wouldn't help in this case i guess?

Ah yes, I knew you make the official lineage oreo release (big thanks for that btw!). But as long as lineageOS doesn't release Pie officially for this phone there won't be an automatically build microG release for that version (@ https://lineage.microg.org/) and I don't want to tinker with installing it manually. and the second point was that there is still no official version of xposed support pie *afaik*. so I'm a bit stuck in my options.
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
Yes, you're right, but the sensor stuff was redone and GPS is connected to it some way or another I think.

I am not sure whether official Pie is coming or not, it's not currently planned or being worked on.
[G3 Android Development] Ph3ar.:
Pie

I've been running pie for a couple of weeks now on my LS990 . It takes about 10 to 15 seconds for my GPS to get a good solid lock . It literally works superbly on my variant so I can only surmise it's either your variant thats specific to GPS problems or either your device . I can suggest this . If you have a nandroid of your stock rom I would restore it . Re-provision it and also allow the gps to run for a few minutes with an app gps test from the play store . Once it's locking in good and seeing lots of birds and operating as it should then restore your nandroid but uncheck and do NOT restore the old EFS partition . Keep the new EFS data to go along with your old nandroid . If GPS works good after doing this then make a new nandroid with the good EFS data . It's very important anytime going from stock to make sure you let the GPS run and update it's data before going to custom rom because once your on the custom rom it's going to be using that data . I'm no guru but this is what I have always heard over the years about keeping a good GPS function so it's something I always do and in years of flashing I never have GPS troubles on my custom roms . It leads me to believe that GPS has something to do with the provisioned EFS partition . I could be wrong and welcome any opinions on this .

Battery life has also been superb on these pie builds for me . Overall this rom is smooth as silk and operates flawlessly fast and dependable . The only problem of course is the distortion with the bluetooth phone and I think I could shed some light on the bluetooth problem and if the OP wants to pm me . Thanks

I have been amazed that there is not more discussion regarding the low vibration strength intensity on LOS AOSP based ROMS on the LG G3. The vibration is so low, that it is easy to miss calls when on vibration only mode. I've tried XTD Kernel Adiutor to change the vibration intensity, but nothing works. Surely there is a way to increase the vibration intensity to be the same as the stock firmware?
[G3 Android Development] eric93se:
Here is the gps.conf from Pie.

And Pastebin:

https://pastebin.com/w2F0SXb8

Having used Pie then Oreo, I can say that Pie was rather fast with gps lock, and oreo was slow. So I'm interested to see what you learn from the comparison.
[G3 Android Development] Juraj_v:
Does anyone with Pie know if Google Pay is working despite the fact that it is an unofficial build? I haven't upgraded from official Oreo yet because of that. I ask because my friend with another phone (Samsung S5) on Linage told me that when he was trying out unofficial Pie build Google Pay was not working but after official release it started to work.

BTW I ask because I also have some problems with GPS loosing signal on Oreo and would like to try if Pie is better.

Thanks!
[G3 Android Development] wonder_user:
Same here on d855 with latest Pie!
[G3 Android Development] Luongit:
This ASOP ROM can flash on LG G3 isai VL31 ??? Pls help ... How to flash it on my G3 isai VL31.
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
I am sure there are some ways to change that, I've received complains vibration was too strong when I manually increased it and then complaints it was too low. Sorry.

GPS is really tricky on G3 custom roms, but Pie has improvements to rootdir that Oreo doesn't.

Google Pay will work either rooted (with Magisk of course) or not. LineageOS builds do pass SafetyNet tests required for it to work.

No, it's not possible.
[G3 Android Development] Luongit:
The LG g3 vl31 hardware same same lg g3 d855. Do you have another way to edit this ROM for LG g3 vl31 ??? Thank you so much
[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
The Isai series are Japanese and VL is supposedly specific to a certain carrier there (once) though most hits regarding it are Vietnamese. Hardware-wise it may be similar to our variants but different enough that it would be difficult to make a few edits and expect it to work.

There's probably a reason you don't see much of anything for it on XDA.

June update is up!
[G3 Android Development] Ducatuca:
New build is coming today.

Waiting for it ;)
[G3 Android Development] Excavator2015:
You have to flash Mr. Bump or you will end up getting bootloops and Boot Certification Error messages. Did you do a full wipe? If not, you need to do that as well..

Full wipe

Flash rom

Flash Magisks (if you want root)

Flash 8.0 Gapps

Flash Mr.Bump

I would wait until he posts the new D850 zip. He said he will be releasing it today. Mine never got passed the lineage OS boot screen.

I hope this helps man.

D855: In my case, I need to uncheck debugging usb option (in the developer options) for mtp to work and the computer recognize the mobile. Otherwise, overall, I'm satisfied with the current rom

(working info rom on OP): MTP (tap/untap USB debugging * based on user's experience)
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
Thanks!

That's known issue.

Bootloop is not caused to Mr_bump missing, but the ROM itself.
[G3 Android Development] Excavator2015:
Ahh, gotcha man. I was able to get to the boot screen on mine, he got a bootloop. What could that be from in the rom? I figured maybe it was something during flashing. My bad.
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
I don't know if we're talking about the same thing. Boot screen is LG icon (with Powered by Android on the bottom) and bootloop is getting stuck in repeating bootanimation.
[G3 Android Development] Excavator2015:
Lineage splash screen. Then it just sat there endlessly. That was on the current zip that's already up there from the 21st. That's weird that he had bootloops. Same device. How you making out bud?

I know when I would flash other roms, some people had issue, and I didn't, they had the same phone.

Ok guys, booted on d850 with new artx kernel. Will test it now and let you know about bugs and all the other things...
[G3 Android Development] uxairmalik:
For now any issues?

Except the known.
[G3 Android Development] onurkaanayna:
did you flash Mr.Bump or any other stuff? i have to flash just rom gapps and ARTX kernel right?
[G3 Android Development] Ducatuca:
No, it's working just fine. wifi / lte, bluetooth...working...Need to test it more...for now my device is going slow somehow...but will let u know more about it...
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
Artx kernel is included in latest builds. No MR_Bump needed.
[G3 Android Development] Ducatuca:
It didn't want to boot with stock kernel on my d850. After that I've flashed new oreo artx kernel and it booted just fine...
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
Are you sure? I cloned his Artx kernel's repo to build. Maybe d850 device tree is broken?
[G3 Android Development] Ducatuca:
I'm 100% sure...might be different for other users on d850...i've also flashed magisk 14...
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
The most important thing is that it really booted up. Thanks for testing it out.

I experienced black, freezed stock camera on D855, Lineage 16, clean install. Is this common and how to solve? Thx!
[G3 Android Development] asassello:
Hi all,

I haven't been using my G3 (d855) for a long time, but I need it now.

So there are a few questions:

1. Is LOS 15.1 the newest Lineage for that phone? I can see some nightilies.

2. Do GPS, NFC, camera work without issues?

3. Would battery hold more or less than stock?

4. If something is wrong, would I be able to just flash stock rom using LG Flash Tool regardles of what was installed before (LOS 15.1 probably)?

Sorry for basic questions, but as I mentioned - I haven't been using that phone for quite a long time.
[G3 Android Development] L1p1c1:
1. no

2. yes

3. yes and no

4. yes

make sure you installed gapps.
[G3 Android Development] Gogolo2:
make sure you installed gapps.[/QUOTE]

Thx, gapps already installed.
[G3 Android Development] L1p1c1:
should work then, assure that the camera has all the permissions, if ok, do another dirty flash and check
[G3 Android Development] asassello:
LOS 15.1 isn't the newest official? So which one is? I'd like only official version. Could you please paste some link?
[G3 Android Development] L1p1c1:
if only official, then the 15.1 is the latest

Do Working this rom on d856?
[G3 Android Development] mauriciognr:
Hello, wheres is the option for slow mo 720p on the camera app? Im using latest 16.0 on a D852 Thanks
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
I don't recall EVER seeing such a feature on Lineage/AOSP. The only ROMs I know of with this are stock-based like Fulmics.
[G3 Android Development] mauriciognr:
Wow thats REALLY disappointing since is such a basic feature. Do you know if i can be enable the slow motion recording with another camera app?

And another thing, my phone seems to be recording 4K at 30 mbps and 1080p at 20 mbps. I know the stock config is 30 mbps for both at 30 FPS. And i am aware of the camera mod that enabled 4K at 40 mbps and 1080p 60 FPS... I dreamed with custom roms including that, i see now that they dont, do you know if is possible to apply that camera mod to custom roms? Thanks
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
I suspect all those mods work only for stock-based ROMs. Since LG hasn't/won't release source code for their camera software, custom ROMs can't include same. Also, since AOSP ROMs are pretty generic (e.g. Lineage OS is basically the same from device to device), it may be difficult to "optimize" it for each device.

In my opinion, the default bitrate for video recording (4k or not) is too high: I find myself using FFmpeg to crunch down the recorded videos with virtually no detriment to visual quality. However, Open Camera allows you choose from a range of bitrates for video recording, and is my go-to camera app.
[G3 Android Development] mauriciognr:
Yeap, open camara saving the day i already have it haha. Thanks bro
[G3 Android Development] samcoinc:

Flashing over XDABBEB's VS985/Verizon - 3.1.1

Hi and BIG THANKS to HardStyl3r and the rest of the Devs as I never, never, never expected PIE!!! Was actually thinking of updating a perfectly good VS985 (except cam is dead:crying:) to a new phone but Xdabbeb's 3.11 has been purring along just great especially with new 3500Mha battery. Do I need to TOT back to factory and flash or can I just flash this directly over Xdabbeb's 3.11 - AND - if I encounter problems, can I just re-flash my TWRP backup. Sorry for the dumb question but its been a couple of years.

Thanks so much people and hope all is well.
[G3 Android Development] cracker12:
Is the battery of 3500mah good? It increase mobile tickness? Should give on d855 also right? Btw some is getting low mobile signal reception?

It fits the VS985 great, rear cover snaps in fine. No problems with thickness :) No effect on mobile signal that I can tell. Right now I am seeing 4-bars on 4G. On a full charge with normal daily usage I am getting 1-1.5 days usage.

[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
I also use the Wavypo 3500mAh batteries on my D851. Working perfectly so far. Regarding the extra 500mAh I have no idea about that. One would have to use some kind of tool to see if the battery is actually 3500.

When setting up 3C Toolbox's battery manager it defaulted to 3000mAh. Info it gets from ROM battery files or whatnot.

Anker: Once the go-to batteries. All swell up, badly. Gone from Amazon.

PowerBear: Also bulge and swell.

Wavypo: Works fine, from 100% down to 1%. Quite sure they'll gain weight also at some point.

Hi again,

Any takers on my question? Anybody else come from Xdabbeb's 3.1.1 ??
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
I'm familiar with xdabbeb's 24B and 35B bootstacks for the VS985, but not "Xdabbeb's 3.1.1"? What's that, exactly?
[G3 Android Development] Skippy12359:
I'm going by memory here but yes I used to run Xdabbeb's 3.1.1 debloated MM on my vs985 and it was great for the time. Running the latest pie should be no problem as long as your on 35b modem which you should already be on if you using rooted MM. I still have a d850 and run these pie ROMs just for fun. The only issue I've had is annoying WiFi disconnections on both the vs985 and the d850 and never found a solution. Just backup the MM stock ROM in twrp and then flash pie and gapps. Make sure your using latest twrp from OP and you should be fine.

It's a lean and mean MM machine.

Hummmm ...... flakey wifi:fingers-crossed: Yes, rooted/SU/Xposed etc.. I should have asked do I need to install Root again with Magisk and why the fork/Unofficial TWRP, I've always use the official ver?? What is it about HardStyl3r's TWRP?

Many thanks for the input.
[G3 Android Development] Skippy12359:
I always had better results using OP's twrp builds on G3's but the newer official builds might work fine. I just recall getting errors on the official vs985 twrp which didn't happen on OP's builds. As far as rooting, yes after flashing pie and gapps, you will need to flash magisk zip for root. I think latest is 19.3 and then magisk manager apk.
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
Hmmm. I started using the G3 in late 2016 with my heart sold on CyanogenMod: I didn't get around to using stock-based ROMs (Fulmics precisely) till late 2017. If I ever went back to MM from Pie, I'll definitely give xdabbeb's 3.1.1 a try. Thanks for the info.
[G3 Android Development] unbork:
Really? Just confirming I should flash magisk even though I'm already rooted?
[G3 Android Development] Šəmûʼēl:
No, magisk allow to have HIDDEN root. For example rooted LOS and worked GooglePay or other bank application required nonrooted system.

But for that you must to change ROM's firngerprint to some standart string. I attached fingerpirnt from D855 MM global rom (Fulmics rom use it) - Apply this patch regardless model of your phone

Also Magisk 19.3 has broken "hide function". I use Magisk 19.2 - cool stuff
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
No need as far as I am concerned.

Also, some information guys. July update isn't planned. I am working on some stuff both Android and private. I am planning to bring VoLTE and there weren't any significant changes to build and test everything. Have a good day!

I found in [MENTION=5724311]InfiniteShade[/MENTION] 's logs that Bluetooth is broken due to sepolicy mistakes. To fix the bluetooth on d851, f400, g3ds and ls990 you need to flash HacerPermissivo zip in the main thread. Sorry. This should be fixed in next release.
[G3 Android Development] unbork:
Thank you for your response. I know what Magisk is used for but don't use Google nor any banking apps.
[G3 Android Development] unbork:
Ok thanks Samuel :p but I don't need this functionality.

So asking once again (and I don't mean to be a PITA), I can flash this ROM on VS985/Verizon currently running XDABBEB's VS985 - 3.1.1 which is Stock, ROOTED, de bloated, MM-v6.0 without having to flash Magisk and probably don't need HardStyl3r's unofficial TWRP either. So I just need to flash the ROM and gapps?

If I do need HardStyl3r unofficial TWRP, can anybody indicate why? [MENTION=6880495]HardStyl3r[/MENTION]????

Many thanks.

Just thought I would provide and update on the new battery in question. I easily get 12+ hours of use. Charging times are long but I don't have fast-charge as I am using the original LG USB cable and I think it does not support it. I believe the extra 500mAh is working in my favor. No heating or battery expansion issues so far. I can't remember getting this type of battery usage, even with a brand new stock LG battery or on the new crap/eBay battery I purchased a while back that was causing the dreaded reboot/battery manufacturing defect symptoms. What a POS that battery was :(

[G3 Android Development] mauriciognr:
I ran antutu benchmark today to give it a test. I got only 40K in the first run and 39K on a second run, that's well below the 60K i got on stock MM and that is the standard score of a G3 on antutu V7. I am not new to custom stuff and modding android, however i do am new to the G3 and his snapdragon 801. I've only got the phone for couple of weeks now, is a D852 and runs ok, i mean it has horrible battery life (even compared to my old nexus 4 running Pie - RR 7.02) but is ok.

I've had several phones in the past and in all of them i've used custom ROMs but never encountered such a drop in performance. Anyway, that looked very weird to me the first time (40K score), so for the 2nd run I was paying attention to temps (using antutu) and clock speeds (antutu and cpu spy). I found that my phone reaches 75C very fast and that the CPU clock rarely (pretty much never) gets to 2.5 Ghz. In fact 1190 mhz is like his max clock while running the benchmark. So...:

- Is this supposed to happen on LOS 15.1 or just any custom rom? I mean, is a rom problem?

- Is the phone thermal throttling due to crappy design i didn't knew about when i bought the phone?

- My unit is just faulty/malfunctioning?

I didn't check the temps and clocks when i ran Antutu on the stock rom so i can't compare. Any ideas? Thanks
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
- The G3 runs hotter than most phones I know.

- I haven't run Antutu for over a year but my highest score was 60-61k on crDroid Nougat. That test was run first thing in the morning when everything was at "idle".

- Battery life for me was best when running official Lineage OS 14.1 (7hrs SOT: airplane mode, no WIFI, just scrolling/reading/light tasks). The key is keeping the phone cool (airflow). The screen is so power hungry. Sometimes after extended heavy use, on putting the screen off, the battery recovers by as much as 8%.

Also, [MENTION=6880495]HardStyl3r[/MENTION], this June build seems to have issues random rebooting (VS985) when device is about to sleep [few seconds after screen goes off, or when charger is unplugged (it's known that phone doesn't go into deep sleep when charging)]. I'm working on how to get logs. Thanks.

EDIT: Here are 2 logs I got via SysLog (both as soon as device rebooted).
[G3 Android Development] SnowFuhrer:
Don't all LG's run hot??
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:

[G3 Android Development] SnowFuhrer:

[G3 Android Development] L1p1c1:
i can confirm too for d855 version.
[G3 Android Development] Chrisjjj:
Yeah they run hot and the motherboards end up getting fried, causing reboots and eventual death.
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
We'll never get the same performance as we get on stock, mostly because our kernel is really bad. Also, it's better to run Pie, Oreo is not yet updated with latest patches.

There are so many issues with this release, it shocks me. I'll put the August release in thorough tests to make sure nothing is broken anymore. Also, we're switching back to permissive for sure for the next two releases to make sure all sepolicy-related stuff is gone completely.

Please, if any of you encounter any issues, try switching back to permissive SELinux and then reproduce the bug.

Don't forget you're also welcome at G3 issue tracker to report issues, so it's easier for me to fix them.
