Google assistant is missing

Hello, first of all congratulations to the dev for creating this Pie rom. It's stable enough for daily use. But I have some minor problems. The initial setup experience and pixel launcher crashes.

I also noted that Google Assistant is missing, it shows in Google app settings but the interface doesn't show, it redirects to main Google feed. I've installed opengapps mini for Android 9. Does anyone have these issues and if so do you know a way around? Thanks!
[G3 Android Development] moklev:
Thanks in advance and congratulations for official 15.1.

I've found a couple of bugs in official 15.1 (build 16022019, d855 version):

- quick charge 1.0 isn't working (but it's fine in unofficial FINAL-II)

- OTA update isn't working: download was successfully then I got a generic "installation error" after pressing "install button".
[G3 Android Development] son_91:
It is working for me. Thanks you.

Thanks a lot, it works :)

I'm using LOS 15.1 unofficial version

Just bought a custom replacement battery for my lg g3, supposedly it should have the same performance and capacity as the original lg g3 battery. I popped it in my phone, turned my phone off and let it charge to 100% (said charge for 4 hours and i did). When i used the phone afterwards the battery drained pretty quickly throughout the day, around 1 hour 40 minutes on screen time until i got to 5% where it literally stayed for another 3 hours and 40 minutes, so a total of around 5 hours and 30 minutes on screen time which is awesome. Thing is, how do i calibrate the battery so my phone displays the accurate percentage? I plan to fully charge my phone while its dead now before i turn it on again. Then do the same thing again and then it should be fixed? Do you think that should do it?

Using my old lg g3 battery that came with the phone shows right battery percentage. So I guess the problem is the new battery?

Hi!

I also have some problems with Lineageos 15.1

I have the latest TWRP (3.2.3.0) and I get generic "install error" when trying to perform LOS update from settings. So, currently I have to export it and manually update.

Also, I notice there are daily updates for LOS? Why so often?

The second bug I have is big. Music apps don't work correctly on LOS 15.1. The default music app sometimes crashes when I select to play all songs from an artist. Once this crash lead to a reboot, but mostly it just hung the music app until I force close it. Sometimes, everything works ok. I've tried installing alternative music players, but they also crash in the same way. The only way to reliably play music was with VLC app (but VLC isn't great for me). This is a big bug for me, so I'll have to wait a while to move to 15.1.

I have used LOS 15.1 on d855 with arm su addon and no gapps whatsoever.

Big thanks to Hardstyler! Dude you are great!
[G3 Android Development] lurgainn:
I had to return to LineageOS 14.1!!! :crying:

In my phone I normally use local account to store the contacts. In lineageOS 14.1 this local account is "PHONE", but someone very very smart (it's irony ;) ) decided to change that in LineageOS 15.1 to "DEVICE"( WHY ??? :eek: ), so when I update to 15.1, I lose all contacts!!! ARGHHHHH!!

Do someone know a way to do a local offline backup of all contacts,

including groups and photos and without modifying the phone numbers format

?? The "export" procedure doesn't backup all these data! :crying:

Thanks
[G3 Android Development] SnowFuhrer:
Google automatically backups mine.
[G3 Android Development] L1p1c1:
go to contacts in menu, its different from calls in menu, select settings/options and you have option export to save to what location you want (internal memory, memory card)
[G3 Android Development] lurgainn:
Thanks for your reply, but....

have you read my post

? ;)

I don't want to use Google account ('big brother' of '1984' :D ), so google backup is a "NO NO"!

I already told that the "export" function don't save the Groups, the Photos and modify the format of all phone numbers in some standard format that it's not MY format! So 'export' too is a "NO NO".

Thanks anyway, but I hope that maybe exists some app that does a true full local backup.

(However I don't want to go off-topic to much with backup apps; this is a LineageOS for LG3 thread. Thanks again)
[G3 Android Development] SnowFuhrer:
You don't know what you are missing. ;)

You could maybe use a root browser and copy the relevant files.
[G3 Android Development] Lilipathb:
you do a great job thank you. for the lg g3 d851 (LineageOS 16.0) the installation is successful but the bluetooth does not work, as well as the Nfc, after a few minutes of use of UC Mni, it appears on the screen an alternation of dark and black thick band but after reopening the apps back to normal operation. the rest works perfectly. it would be cool that the next version has the bluetooth works.
[G3 Android Development] SnowFuhrer:
There is an app called super backup and restore that works well. I used to use it on my ancient phone that had no good way to backup stuff.
[G3 Android Development] Excavator2015:
Thank you buddy for getting our build ready for tomorrow! Can't wait to flash it!! Nice to see you getting a stable build out for the D855! Hope things work out for that device!

ARTX kernel will have to be updated to 8.0 before that can be considered. Let's get stable O roms going then worry about kernels....
[G3 Android Development] Jason Looi:
1stly, wud like to thank the dev for bringing O to this device, thank you so much for your time, dedication and effort, thank you for kepping the device up to date where LG has forsaken us.

I've yet to run this on my device (will do so soon), i have this suggestion for the camera, if dev wish to take this on. I use LG G2 camera on all my MM and N rom, coz it gives me exactly stock G3 quality, but i have to down scale the resolution to 1280 for the ui to display correctly. So, can we "modify" the app resolution to suit the device without down scale ?
[G3 Android Development] jimmmysil:
Stayn mentioned a few posts before that ArtX kernel is updated to 8.0 and he will soon has it ready. Post #95 if I am not mistaken
[G3 Android Development] deniko1985:
Strange, but for some reason I do not work Gboard. Incidentally, no one knows how to fix it?
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
nothing except gps works

CPU temperature is measured by it's own, so you won't have a "melted piece of plastic", LG G3 is made of metal inside btw:)

❤️❤️❤️

ArtxKernel is integrated into the latest build actually, it has been updated but it's not public y e t.
[G3 Android Development] odjinan:
Dirty flashed .10.23 over previous build for d855, so far so good ;)
[G3 Android Development] KevinX8:
I'm not worried about inside melting, well if it got hot enough to melt metal you would have another problem on your hands entirely lol, the outside is completely plastic which is more worrying for temps.

Kernel in ROM is 3.4.13 lineage gad6191a7bd1 mountaser1998@instance-1 #2 Mon Oct 23 20:52:53 UTC 2017

Is this artx kernel?
[G3 Android Development] deniko1985:
Yes. The kernel is collected from the sources, and this data is the computer on which the kernel is compiled.

I asked because so far in all previous roms i used artx was stated as "artX kernel" in system info not as CM.

lineage os 15.0 for Lg G3

Why do you say that rom lineage os 15.0 for Lg G3 is stable if there are many things that it does not found yet, like sensors, search in settings ends with force close?
[G3 Android Development] odjinan:
Its my daily room since day one, and its stable. (No reboot, no bug, all my app are working)

Most fonction are available...(sensor is a minor fonction in my point of view)
[G3 Android Development] jimmmysil:
If you scroll down and check the ROM info it says state: beta

Beta versions can be unstable. Sorry if it sound harsh but the dev is giving us something for free, this is his hobby and not his job so you either take it or leave it, he doesn't owe us anything and he might dump this project anytime.
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
[MENTION=7713645]Stayn[/MENTION] check this out

New build is coming today.

d850 is bootloop right now.

Artx Kernel is now just default kernel + commits. Install kernel adiutor and see what you can do.

It's nice to hear that :)

Well, I said that any bug except sensors is not related to us but rather LineageOS or AOSP.

[G3 Android Development] XxXDarknessXxX:
I have a strange thing going on with this rom. Whenever I set up kernel auditor, then I restart the phone, kernel auditor applies the settings, then I check them and it isn't the settings I've set up. Some kind of deeper thing is going on within the system? What do you recommend dear [MENTION=6880495]HardStyl3r[/MENTION]? I also have a short question for anyone who knows: where is the thermal setting file? I'd like to modify it for faster charging while heated up. Can't find it in the etc folder

[G3 Android Development] Nagato Yuki:
But for F460 (LTE-A/S805 CPU) variant, at least the kernel part (also Recovery) is needed to be re-compiled.

Mobile data

I'm having a problem with setting up an apn on my LS990 . I use custom settings for my MVNO carrier "Tello" . Everything works fine except the Bearer setting . I can select LTE as shown in the picture but there's no OK button to save that particular setting . All I can do is just back out of the screen and as a result LTE is back to unchecked . The other settings do have a save or OK button . Is that something you can tweak as far as adding a button to keep the setting for Bearer ? The right hand picture is on my other LS990 7.1.1 Nougat . It's that cancel / ok button that is missing . I normally don't have any data problems with Tello as long as I can edit my apn settings . Is there a way to recover this OK button ? Rom runs great . Thanks

UPDATE : Finally got data working but really need OK CANCEL buttons for Bearer in APN settings . I wonder if the reason it's missing is because of so many more selections to choose from on the first picture compared to the second picture that it's shoved off the screen ? Can't scroll down to find out .

Exporting to .ics worked perfectly fine for me
[G3 Android Development] lurgainn:
Sorry, but I thought that .ics files (iCalendar) was used for just Calendars and not Contacts. I'm wrong?

What app did you used?

Thanks
[G3 Android Development] TheFieryBreeze:
You're right, i mixed them up.

I meant .vcf
[G3 Android Development] lurgainn:
But .vcf created with 'export' don't save contact's group and save just a thumbnail of the photo :(

I do a heavy use of groups and photos in my contacts, so .vcf is not useful for me.

Thanks anyway,
[G3 Android Development] :
Have you used titanium backup before? I haven't tried this before but you can try to do a backup of "contacts" and "contacts storage" system packages, then do a DATA ONLY restore on the newer LOS. It might not work since both of the system packages are newer for the newer LOS, meaning it might get glitchy, but it's worth a shot since you can always clear the data. You have to enable system packages in the filter in order to see them.

Ran across this program which appears to backup most everything you want without any google dependence ,, Check it out https://www.mobiledic.com/android-assistant.html

I use Titanium Backup and I used Oandbackup too, and they are wonderful apps. But the problem with this approach is that they do a contacts backup

copying and saving the whole database

, and not exporting/importing the raw data. So, if I use them, I probably corrupt the system because I backup a database that include in a table "PHONE" as local account, and then I restore the whole database (with "PHONE" account) in a ROM that expects to have a "DEVICE" account as local account.

I don't know, but it seems to me that this is a way to create future troubles.

Thanks anyway

Does anyone know if deleting batterystats.bin helps to calibrate a battery? I've bought a custom battery that makes my phone show incorrect battery display %. I tried draining it until it shuts itself off, start it again and let it shut off again, then charge it fullly to 100% and then a bit longer while its shut off. I repeated this 6 times but the battery is still not working properly. I do get nice SoT with it tho. It just drains fast and then stays at 5% for a few hours. I will probably return the battery though.

Bluetooth Problem on 15.1-20190218-NIGHTLYon d851

I clean-flashed 15.1 + OpenGAPPS on my US TMobile LG G3 (d851). Mostly works OK, altho battery use might be high (I have a giant aftermarket battery which lasts for days, so not a big deal).

However, although Bluetooth media (music, web streaming) works OK, Bluetooth phone audio is totally garbled & distorted. I've seen this mentioned elsewhere, but no fixes yet.

Is there anything I can do to help track this down? I didn't see Bluetooth & Phone mentioned in this thread yet...

Battery drain and switched off charging

I've flashed the February build of LOS 16 to my LG D855 . There weren't any problems during flashing, wizard walk through or app restoration with Migrate what so ever. Very nice experience. Without any changes in daily use I encountered that the battery life decreased from 2 days (LOS 14) to no more than 1 day. Maybe a full uncharge and recharge could help. To give it a try I have to be able to charge the device when its switched off. In Off mode I'm not sure if the device really is charging because the charging screen switches between the 2 views. The battery status view and the battery status loading view.

1. Is the battery drain inherent to Android 9 (+D855) or is it a bug?

2. Does the device charge when the screens are switching?

[MENTION=6880495]HardStyl3r[/MENTION] Your hard work makes it possible to really extent the life time of many phones out there. Thank you very much.
[G3 Android Development] lurgainn:
I don't have specific information, but I guess that it works like Titanium Backup, saving the whole contacts database and not exporting/importing all raw data (so with the same problems already told), because the app specify that the restore process is done by TWRP flashing a zip.

Thanks anyway

Small upgrade report

Hi all,

on Feb 16th, I've been upgrading my D855 from LineageOS 14.1 (one of the last official builds) to the new official 15.1. Here's a small report.

[MENTION=6880495]HardStyl3r[/MENTION]: Thanks so much for stepping in and doing all that great work!

So, first I've created a backup of everything using TitaniumBackup as well as TWRP. My installation is encrypted, which always adds some additional thrill to upgrade activities.

Apart from one initial showstopper, the upgrade worked like a charm, using the simple method documented in the LineageOS Wiki (i.e. even without wiping data).

Added 2019-03-17: https://wiki.lineageos.org/upgrading.html

When trying to flash LOS 15.1, the at that time running TWRP v3.1.1-0 told me that this package was not suiting this device model.

Upgrading TWRP to HardStyl3r's version 3.2.3 did it. However, read below!

In detail, I've been using the following packages:

lineage-15.1-20190216-nightly-d855-signed.zip

open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190209.zip

addonsu-15.1-arm-signed.zip

recovery-3.2.3-d855.img (by HardStyl3r)

Having used the phone for about a week now, I can confirm the following AFAIK already known issues:

Battery drain: Phone is only running for about one day, which is less than 50% of the original time. However, I already experienced this issue to a large part with the last official 14.1 builds. To me it seems as if this was introduced somewhen in Oct/Nov 2018.

Weather provider: There aren't any official LOS 15.1 weather providers available yet, and the inofficial ones seem to be partially outdated.

An additional issue however is that the LOS system update isn't working. It's finding the daily updates, is able to download them, but then fails to install them. Selecting "Install" leads to some preparation step being performed, and then immediately informs about some "Installation error" without giving any further details. I tried to find out more using Logcat reader, but no success.

I'm wondering now whether this has the same root cause as the initial showstopper mentioned above.

Does anyone else face this issue, too?

Can anyone confirm that the updates are working using the official TWRP?

[MENTION=6880495]HardStyl3r[/MENTION]: Are the updates supposed to work, using your TWRP recovery?

Kind regards

Florian

I'm on 15.1 unofficial, says I'm not rooted. What is the easiest way to root? Kingroot maybe?
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
If you got that root status from Settings, disregard. In my experience, if you're Magisk rooted, Settings still indicates you don't have root. Use a root checker app. As for Kingroot, a lot of people have raised suspicion about privacy.
[G3 Android Development] jrickman51:
Unsure if you've done this but you also have to install the Magik manager apk app. It will not show rooted status until you do..
[G3 Android Development] Betegreuh:
Same here. That's weird, because I exported the update and compared its SHA256 checksum to the one at download.lineageos.org and they're identical.

By the way, huge thanks for the ROM [MENTION=6880495]HardStyl3r[/MENTION] !
[G3 Android Development] R-T-B:
Is the vs985 LOS 15.1 GPS failing for anyone else? I can't seem to get that to work.

Also, is VoLTE supported on those builds?

Trying to revive my old G3 here with LOS and would appreciate advice on the status of those features.
[G3 Android Development] TheFieryBreeze:
I'm on the microG fork and have the same issue

at first I assumed it had something to do with the microg fork

but after reading it seems to be a lineageos problem
[G3 Android Development] R-T-B:
Doesn't LineageOS expect it's own recovery for that function? You know, the old Clockwork based one one no one uses?

That's probably the issue... but I could be wrong. Been out of this game for some time.
[G3 Android Development] florianh78:
[MENTION=6279449]Betegreuh[/MENTION] and [MENTION=8186572]TheFieryBreeze[/MENTION] thanks for your feedback. It might be interesting which TWRP versions you're using (version number and whether it's the official or an unofficial one).
[G3 Android Development] VortexHD:
I upgraded my G3 to Lineage OS 16 and it was working fine but now it will no longer connect to WIFI it says unable to save. The Home and multitasking buttons no longer work and the notification slider dosent pull down anymore.
[G3 Android Development] besset19:
I rooted using kingroot... Do I still need to install that?

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

I will have wiped my phone though after having rooted with kingroot so does that make it any better?
[G3 Android Development] jrickman51:
Yes if your using Magisk.zip then you also have to install the apk after you boot. If you want to have control over the phones rooted Apps then you need the manager..
[G3 Android Development] Betegreuh:
I'm using the unofficial one (3.2.3.0) by HardStyl3r.

My G3 is a d855 by the way.
[G3 Android Development] besset19:
When upgrading from 15.1 unofficial to the official version, do i follow install instructions on the LOS page or on here?
