[G3 Android Development] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
You can do this:

$ su
# wm density <dpi>; wm size <HxW>

(You can do adb shell instead if you prefer over root).

I do want to say that last time I checked, screenshots were completely messed up and only showed a portion of the screen on Pie, but it is a lot better in Nougat or before because it only broke recent apps snapshots which is purely cosmetic.

As a result, the slight performance benefits are outweighed by a 100% useless screenshot features.

Changing the density has no major effects (unlike on stock), and I suggest it.

For rough changes, check Settings > Display > Advanced > Display size.

However, wm density has more precise control over the screen size slider.

If you like things as roomy as possible, do

# wm density 490

This is my personal favorite. It makes the G3 seem like a 5.99" device. The reason for this is because some apps, such as Firefox, think 6" is suitable for a tablet UI.

If you want the scaling to be the most accurate, use 540. The G3's actual density is 534 PPI, and 540 is a better multiple than 530. This ends up acting like a 5.4" device. IIRC this is the default for most custom ROMs.

If you preferred the large text and icons of the stock ROM, use 640. This makes the G3 identify as a 4.6" device.

I had the same issue with my d855 (lineage-16.0-20181222) and Windows 10 x64 (1809), but I was able to fix it.

Make sure you have the latest version of "LG Mobile Driver" on your computer. I had an old 4.0.x version. The latest version should be 4.2.0, as of today.

If you have an older version, then uninstall it and download and install the newest version from LG homepage (google for "lg mobile driver").

Another problem is that "No data transfer" is chosen under "Use USB for" (under Settings > Connected Devices > USB), however the options are grayed out and cannot be changed from there.

Thankfully these options can be modified from Developer Options (enable it if you haven't already): Settings > System > Advanced > Developer options > Default USB configuration > select "File Transfer".

That's it! Doing the above solved the issue for me. Hope it helps you.

i have the same question, there's no progress since 2018-12-16 in lineageos gerrit :(

Would be great to be able to update using an official build!
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
19.01 builds have rolled out!
[G3 Android Development] mtkmanjaro:
You are right dude, but that isn't the problem, the problem is that lineageos dropped the support for lineage 14.1 for G3 family the most stable Rom, for nothing due i don't think we have 15.1 official soon.
[G3 Android Development] L1p1c1:
im gonna try the new build but anyone knows something about all photos being deleted(the folder files gets deleted, dosent matter if you save to internal or memory card) after phone restarts from a bug or video recorded its pixelated like poor quality?

@ HardStyl3r as well

l.e: i lost all photos from last day of trip :(( recovery apps dosent find them but at least i recovered the others
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
I am really sorry, but this never happened to me and it's not reported by anyone. Videos are also high quality, the same as you set in settings.

It depends on LineageOS team.
[G3 Android Development] L1p1c1:
I know, i didnt had problems until this week and dont know what caused this bug to happen because nothing was changed. First thing that came in mind was that someone got acces with find my phone and deleted them but then he would delete everything so its not this.

On oreo, folder from camera was called camera, on pie is called files. i dont know if is a bug at me or its normal.

i flashed last version and its ok until now, just need to wait a reboot and test if folder files gets deleted and test video recorder.

only 2 changes i observed:

-deleting files is made very fast, on previous versions took like 4 seconds for a picture to get deleted

- hidden wi-fi still dosent find and connect

[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
I can't reproduce your issue. Is it still there? Your post is a bit confusing.

Gallery app is still there, Files is file manager.
[G3 Android Development] L1p1c1:
There issue manifests only when i get a random reboot, the default folder where camera photos and videos are saved gets deleted. Ill attach a screenshot. And default folder is called files.

Also the folder files where my photos and videos from default camera from gaaps are saved its not shown on my memory card. See attached screenshot.

Can somebody tell me is this ROM is as fast as RR 6.2.0? Or it is slower?

[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
Have you tried other camera app? The photos should be in DCIM.

It's LineageOS, not ResurrectionRemix
[G3 Android Development] L1p1c1:
i didnt tried because i use default camera for the panorama mode, but at least they didnt got deleted with random reboot @ last build 18/01

tried only to delete cache/reset settings at camera, but still folder files its created to save them. 000, and size of photo got bigger, from 5 mb to 9 mb

thanks for feedback

[MENTION=6880495]HardStyl3r[/MENTION]

L.E: also can you check for option Backup that gets turn on without my accept ? Its very annoying. Does that to every version. Its kinda weird/strange.

L.e 2: seems the photos got deleted again. Recharged the phone, turned on and nothing. Gonna install another camera to avoid stress.

L.e 3 : its the memory card bug. On internal memory after you reset camera settings folder is called camera. On memory card is called files. If you can check it out.

Lineage OS version for LG G3 D855?

Im new to using custom rom's and im thinking about using lineage OS (whatever version is the most stable). Will performance and battery improve/be the same do you reckon? Or do you just use custom rom's cause they look more slick and updated? And what can i expect stability wise, will there be lots of crashes or app incompatabilites?

Also what version of lineage os should you use on lg g3 D855? I want the most stable version, but if 16.0 is stable enough as of right now i might give that a try. I cant find any download links for 14.1 though since it seems D855 is no longer supported?

I only use my phone for calls, messaging, reddit, youtube and a bit of twitch and chrome web browsing. I want the best performance and battery life and stability, i dont really need any features. Bad camera quality im fine with. What rom would achieve this the best?
[G3 Android Development] MrBl00:
When connected with USB, I am unable to change the type. All the options are greyed out.

I was however able to bypass this by activating developer mode and changing the default option. Still can't change it on the fly, but at least I am able to transfer files
[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
[MENTION=9700860]besset19[/MENTION], in the download links you'll also find the 15.1 Oreo builds.

LG G3 D851, AOSPA-L ROM, Nebula Rev9.3 Kernel, microG (NoGapps), MultiROM, XDA Legacy
[G3 Android Development] MrBl00:
Also having USB connection issues in general with device disconnecting at random. Same goes for when using debug mode.

Device is a D855
[G3 Android Development] Babillebabou:
If you are on Windows 10, uninstall LG Driver from panel control then plug your lg3 and windows will install the up to date driver
[G3 Android Development] MrBl00:
I've tried that. Also tried a mix of random driver versions with the same result.
[G3 Android Development] ezantera:
I had issue with some cables. I could charge phone but I remember file transfer was problem, it was long time ago not on LOS 16 but it could be cable, nobody else is complaining.
[G3 Android Development] MrBl00:
Got it to work, for now. Forced Windows to reinstall the driver a ton and then it suddenly worked.

Still unable to change the USB connection options on the fly though; charge-only, MTP and so on. But as I can bypass that as I mentioned in my first post here, it's more of a hassle.
[G3 Android Development] mhenri2200:
Same issue here. It's not convenient to always go to dev options if I want to change the type. Definitely some bug in the rom.
[G3 Android Development] frajofa:
Rom 20190118 en D855.

Installed 1 week ago and working fine and with good battery.

First 2 days were bad with semi-freezes (opening anything sometimes take 2 / 3 seconds, specially when coming from sleep).

Now all seems ok (I only use google apps and few more).

A good work .
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
How's your sdcard formatted?

I'd go for LineageOS 15.1 as long as Pie gets better than it already is.
[G3 Android Development] rohithch_:
Review/Bugs on Lineage 16.0

The proximity sensors and rotational sensors dont seem to be working with LineageOS 16.0 . SD card detection dont happen all the time. Battery seems pretty average with 2 to 3 hour of screen on time. The performance seems pretty ok. A perfect daily driver, maybe not. But way better than the bloated and sluggish LG ui. A big thanks to [MENTION=6880495]HardStyl3r[/MENTION] :angel: for bringing G3 back to life with latest android and its features. Looking forward to the updates with the bugs fixed. :fingers-crossed:

Tried out the RR 6.2.0 which did not let me sign up the phone with Google (kept crashing when trying to make an account),:confused: , the performance seemed better on RR 6.2.0 .

Are the above bugs fixed on the Lineage 15.1 so that i could move to it while Lineage 16.0 gets better than it already is.
[G3 Android Development] frajofa:
What is your phone? (D851, D855... etc..) Without that information what you say has no utility to nobody, mainly developers! .

I recommend first of all a clean flash, including Internal wipe and SD wipe, if you come from a 8.1 or other ROM. I've done it (with previous backup for future restoring only of my files). I experienced that when coming from other ROM's there are always residues in both Internal Storage and SD card that can (in some cases) prejudice your new ROM.

Update, also, your TWRP. Links are in post 1.

Use for root only Magisk. Links in the first page for ZIP (installed in TWRP) as well for the ".apk" installed after 1st. reboot.

Have you done those steps? you did not explain what you have done to install the ROM and that is the most important information to developers, as well your phone references. Resuming, what you said has no utility for no one, except you.

After that all works okay in my D855.
[G3 Android Development] santaIwantMi8SeForXmas:
D855 32GB

Well I can confirm same issues with proximity and rotation sensors. It was like that on my old phone (where motherboard died) and now on new motherboard as well same issue. SD card sometimes disappears when im connected to PC.

Im using build from december still as i was waiting for people to confirm if sensors are fixed.
[G3 Android Development] TheFieryBreeze:
Gonna try out the latest build as a daily driver because I hate being 3 months behind on security updates thanks to the pacing lineageos team is taking to bring even [MENTION=6880495]HardStyl3r[/MENTION] s 15.1 as official

Does anyone have any idea why is it taking so long? As I call tell everything is okay with it in the gerrit
[G3 Android Development] besset19:
Thanks for the answer hardstyler. Do you think battery life is better in lineageOS 15.1 than stock marshmallow 6.0 on lg g3?

[G3 Android Development] frajofa:
December building, for my D855, had some problems.

I'm using the January 18 new build without any problems for 1 week.

About the SD card: try see also, in your computer, if the card has corruption problems. Use NTFS for formating (with this format I never had corruption problems).

You didn't say if you have done a clean flash. Is essential. Do you know what is a clean flash? Post 1 explain it.
[G3 Android Development] L1p1c1:
normal, is formated from phone interface on android oreo, not formated as internal
[G3 Android Development] santaIwantMi8SeForXmas:
I tried SD card already, card reader detects it normally and no disconnection issues in it, I tried to transfer 10gb movie without issues like that.

And ive done it with clean flash, im thinking about complete wipe, internal too.

So you dont have any sensor issues on latest builds? Did u have before?
[G3 Android Development] frajofa:
Yes, do it. I've done a complete wipe of Internal Storage and SD card (this one with also a format to ntfs in the PC) and then I installed the ROM.

Then transfered in the PC both to Internal and SD card only the user files.

Why so radical? I concluded by my experience that when we are in a very different rom, or when we update it with many months between, there are some residues that are going make problems in the new installation. This is only with some years of experience, no technical background.

For your situation I've seen in a thread of a rom (which one? I don't remember) that a installation of the stock rom normalizes all peripheral problems, and then restart over again. But for this is better a more technical person than me tu help you.:good::good:
[G3 Android Development] jdmst77:
No, this is from my test device... Nothing personal or work related installed. Only have multimedia streaming apps installed

installation guide

Hí, i want to install lineage OS 15.1 for my lg g3 855 but i never installed any custom rom before. What is the best installation guide?
[G3 Android Development] mtkmanjaro:
1. Twrp installed mandatory

2 need the lastest firmware available for your device.

3 donwload the rom put in the sd card, and reboot the device in recovery mode

4 select wipe, advanced wipe then select data, cache, system and dalvic art, after wipe is complete.

5 go back to main menu and select install find the rom in sd card and you're done.

What gapps version should i use? arm 8.1 stock? (im going for lineageos 15.1). Also i recently updated my lg g3 to 6.0 marshallow using LGupdate, i have made sure i have the latest software. Am i good to go?

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

Dont i need to root my lg g3 first before doing these things? what program should i use for 15.1 LineageOS? magisk?
[G3 Android Development] santaIwantMi8SeForXmas:
Hey man, first thing you have to do is downgrade your official LG 6.0 rom to 30b because then you can root it, after that you can install twrp (install the one from the video, then download twrp from first page of this thread).

I followed this video on youtube and had no issues. ---> /watch?v=8VOgM3jLas4
[G3 Android Development] rp158:
It's unnecessary to repeat all the basics. They're written yet here.
[G3 Android Development] besset19:
I followed the video, i however dont have the original usb cable that came with the lg g3 and the lg mobile support tool cant seem to upgrade my phone, just a bunch of ?????. Did i brick my phone? i dont dare to unplug the USB cable because it says on my phone not to do so...

Edit: Since it wasnt progressing and the bar on my phone said 0% i decided to unplug it and everything works. But the LG program didnt work for me, when it came to upgrading my phone there was just a bunch of "?????" instead of text. Not sure what to do
[G3 Android Development] TheFieryBreeze:
Unplug the phone

Pull the battery out

Put it back in

Try booting

If it boots great

If it doesn't pull the battery out and back in again

Try flashing again

I haven't done this thing in so long, but I remember it wasn't anything problematic
[G3 Android Development] besset19:
Root?

So what is the best way to root the lg g3? Apparently if you have the latest marshmallow 6.0 version you have to downgrade first, but i dont have the original lg g3 usb cable anymore nor do i have a usb 2.0 port. The LG program didnt work for me, should i just try magisk or supersu?
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
How can you flash Magisk or superSU to get root when you don't have a custom recovery? You have to downgrade since root methods - AFAIK - don't exist for latest Marshmallow (most root methods came out within a year of G3 release). You just have to find a 2.0 port. As far as USB cables go, if the cable can transfer files to and from your PC (as opposed to the ordinary charging type), you're okay with not using LG's cable.

- Downgrade to KitKat, then root using StumpRoot apk (found here on XDA).

- Install official TWRP using official app, then flash the latest unofficial TWRP in official TWRP.

This is the procedure I used on my VS985.
[G3 Android Development] mtkmanjaro:
Well dude i see you need a noob friendly guide, so you can search in d855 forum or watch a video on youtube, because the procedure from beginning is to Long.
[G3 Android Development] besset19:
Success!

I followed the lineageos installation guide on xda by pheb92 and it worked out flawlessly, i managed to found a 2.0 usb port. Everything works flawlessly, im really happy.

I agreed to send data to lineageos team to improve the app, is this a good idea? Is it actually useful for the developers or does it hog battery/performance in anyway? Honestly i wouldnt care that much, if it can improve this awesome rom then sure! Or does hardstyler not use this feature to improve the app?

Are there any useful tweaks i should know about now that im running lineageos 15.1 to make it better/faster?

And i chose the trebuchet launcher, is there any way i can easily switch to pixel launcher again?

Also im wondering if there are any ways i can increase the longevity of my lg g3, i never want it to die lol. I heard the best thing you can do is to keep it from overheating right?
[G3 Android Development] besset19:
Also, what battery mode do you use in lineageos 15.1? balanced or performance? And is 15.1 final build, like is it finished?
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
Final build means that this is the latest update for 15.1.
[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
You can probably stop sending data. Lineage has dropped support for the G3 (no more downloads), so no updates for Oreo.

You can install any number of Launchers, the majority based on Launcher3/Pixel. Some have lots of features. Lawnchair, Flick, CPL, Hyperion, Rootless, Ruthless, et al. Then there's good ole Nova or Lucid.

Yeah, G3 is known for being a hand warmer at times. Phone is old though. Any number of things can happen other than heat. My beloved device lasted a lot longer than I expected given the amount of ROM flashing and multibooting on it since 2014. Been bricked and revived, SD card slot failed back in 2017 but it took its final breath last August. A second one (obtained from a former dev last year) also lost its SD slot and then the screen went out. I'm on my third one now. [emoji16] Hopefully it'll last as long as the first. Some failures we can't anticipate or prevent.

[G3 Android Development] besset19:
When i started lineage15.1 on my lg g3 for the first time it wanted me to choose a default launcher every time I pressed the home button, can I change the launcher again somehow in options? They are both in the phone
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
You need to click on "Always" when you select your launcher after pressing home button. Also, you can change them in apps settings. Go to the launcher you'd like to be default and select it at the bottom.
[G3 Android Development] astrod:
Thanks for your work on the old G3! I just clean flashed the 01/19 version on my D851 and it works well. Upgraded from LOS14 which was working perfectly. Just noticing 2 things: auto-rotate not working and getting an error from the Bluetooth app that keeps popping up until I clear its data and cache. But even then I can't get bluetooth to work. Will try reinstalling after full wipe and see if things are fixed.

[edit] just tried another clean flash and have same Bluetooth problem.

Proximity sensor problem

I also have issues with proximity sensor. However, in my case it's not due to Lineage ROM. I have the same proximity sensor issue with stock ROM as well. That's one of the common chronic problems of G3s as far as I can tell. Proximity sensor sometimes works fine and other times, it thinks that sensor is covered when it's not. So, when you start a call (or receive a call), the screen suddenly goes dark (even though call goes thru fine).
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
