Thanks for the feedback and recommendation, this is really helpful.

Do I need to boot after flashing the clean stock-based ROM, or can I flash Lineage straight after?

And how important is setting kernel selinux to permissive? Will I still need to do this with a custom kernel?

EDIT: I am unable to backup my data within TWRP, because there is not enough space on my phone, and it is unable to read the SD card (one of the problems I hope this process would fix)

What is the best action for me to take?
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
Q - Do I need to boot after flashing the clean stock-based ROM, or can I flash Lineage straight after?

A - Yeah, so you can confirm that the sensors are working as intended (again only applicable if you're among those who need to do this; see OP for more).

Q - And how important is setting kernel selinux to permissive?

A - Security-wise, it's not ideal.

Q - Will I still need to do this with a custom kernel?

A - If you have to. The kernel builder usually indicates if the kernel is permissive or enforcing by default.

Q - I am unable to backup my data within TWRP, because there is not enough space on my phone, and it is unable to read the SD card (one of the problems I hope this process would fix)

What is the best action for me to take?

A - Move some unnecessary files to a computer and try backing up again, else try using an OTG drive.

Came out a bit broken the first time, but I reflashed and that turned out better. But I'm still experiencing all of the same problems I was on 15, possibly even worse. I think the issue may just be that my phone is dying. For now, I will probably to revert back to Lineage 15, unless there is an alternative cfw for LG G3 anyone here would want to recommend .
[G3 Android Development] nolimits59:
Just changed back my pretty d855 logicboard for 35€ its been years since i touched my G3 or even android, got an iPhone 7 after someone broke my G2 (that i got back to after my G3 suddenly died), so now that it's working, is rooted and got recovery again, i'm ready to flash again ! Is LOS 17 any stable for normal use ? My iPhone is still gonna be my daily driver but I may be using my G3 for other stuff, is the camera as good as the stock ? does the Quick Remote work ?
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
Camera will most probably never be as good as the stock. Quick Remote might still work, but you have to flash it. It's somewhere on XDA.

Mi Remote works fine as well. Using it on AOSP Extended Oreo.

Hi HardSty3r.

I have encountered with several bugs for g3ds build 20200315:

- reboot into recovery (from power button menu) is impossible, it is usual reboot without entering into recovery

- stable reboots during camera usage

- strength of vibro is weak

Thanks for your afforts

I am a Tmobile customer and am interested in trying Lineage on an LG G3. Would you recommend I start with a d851 or a d855 ?
[G3 Android Development] torbherr:
Not stable

Hi

I tried 17.1 build 20200315 on my D855.

It reboots when using Maps and when using camera.

I will go back to the previous build, which worked pretty well for me.

Build 15 March 2020 on VS985:

- Using camera reboots phone.

- Rebooting into recovery via advanced reboot menu doesn't work. One has to do so via power button + volume down combo.

- Vibration's weaker now.

Thanks.
[G3 Android Development] fOxunO:
Not working too on my device , so go back stock and root again.
[G3 Android Development] HardStyl3r:
Really weird, I'll look into it. Please use the older builds.

//edit

I just took a photo using Snap. What's wrong with the camera? [MENTION=7824654]MaverickNextDoor[/MENTION]
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
Did you still have root or just lost TWRP? If you still have root, maybe Flashify can work (to flash TWRP).

Even a nandroid restore failed to right things for me: device just kept bootlooping. Luckily I had done a backup using Migrate app; so I clean-flashed the previous LOS build and restored using Migrate. App really saved my ass.
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
Can't really say for sure but someone else above has the same issue with g3ds.

Thanks. Works like a charm now (d855, 17.1)
[G3 Android Development] Hironimo:
I updated from 16.0 to this version of 17.1.

Seems to work fine and smooth so far.

What is annoying however is that a microphone icon is steadily blinking on the status bar.

Why is this? What does it mean?

Can I fix this somehow so it is either permanently there if that makes sense, or permanently away?

UPDATE: After finishing the setup assistant (for a second time since it came back up to setup some remaining feratures) the mic icon is solid now and does not appear and reappear in rapid succession anymore. I don't know if that exactly did it or something else, I did though.

I gather in android 10 it always appears when a program uses the microphone (like the basic google one that drives the google assistant)? Can you make that icon not show up even though the microphone is still being used (which is basically all the time unless you disable the google voice assistant)?
[G3 Android Development] fOxunO:

The phone's updater is asking me to upgrade to LineageOS 17.1! This is awsome! I always get nervious when I flash over and install another operating system! But I've got LineageOS 15 then 16 on there so I should be able to do it again.

Just a question to be sure. I need to install the GAPPS for Android 10 at the same time even if I do a "dirty flash?"

Hello

Using lineage-17.1-20200320-recovery-d855.img , works great!

- Only bugs so far, "Actions Services" coming from gapps package is crashing when trying to copy some text, so I had to disable it.

- I'm using the email client app "Spike" (I like it a lot ^-^), when I try to add a Gmail account, when it shows the authorization with all the actions the app will be able to do, when I accept, it does something for a little while, and shows back the authorization panel to add the account, so it doesn't finish the configuration.

remove/hide/disable battery icon

D852, LineageOS 15.1 last official build (I'm not yet ready to upgrade to 16.x or 17.x).

How do I remove the battery icon? I've already enabled text percentage for battery status as that is what I like to see and the battery icon is redundant and only taking up space. I can't find the setting to remove the icon. Is there any such setting?

Is anyone experiencing like a slightly heating when the phone is idle? I notice every AOSP/Lineage etc roms i try theres a slightly heating i dont use any custom kernel or anything all stock. Any ways to fix this?
[G3 Android Development] farukb:
try going to default apps and setting default phone app to "dialer" see if it helps, thats an old way for an old issue, might still be the solution
[G3 Android Development] bembelembe:
Thanks. I managed to change it to Google Launcher, but at the end I installed stock Rom (3.2) and waiting for new build to be released here.

Elsewhere I found out that one should not install anything else than OpenGApps nano and pico because other builds contain Google launcher that is clashing with Trebuchet launcher.
[G3 Android Development] eric93se:
The cpu is clocked very high. Install xtd kernel auditor and set the cpu to 1.7gHz.
[G3 Android Development] farukb:
you can use aroma gapps package and select what you want to be installed. try it out its the best way of having what you need, because stuff installed from recovery go to /system partition, therefore you will have more data left for whatever else you need later on...why let the whole system partition be almost empty. note that gapps for los17.1 and other anodroid 10 based roms are only available in micro nano and pico, sth like that
[G3 Android Development] bembelembe:
Yes, I know. If one should avoid launcher issues with 17.1, packages like Nano and Pico ought to be installed. Micro is also available but it contains Google launcher.. and unfortunately Aroma variant is not available.
[G3 Android Development] blunatic:
which should I take now?

16 or 17 ?

could you please look at it? thanks!
[G3 Android Development] NatSki:
Do i need to install the XTD kernel or just the kernel auditor?
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
XTD kernel is for Pie only not Q. So if you're on Pie, you can flash the kernel (if memory serves me correctly, this automatically installs the xtd kernel app as well).
[G3 Android Development] eric93se:
Just the auditor, give it root permission, go to the cpu category and lower max cpu. Don't forget to tic the check box at the top right to apply on boot.

So there's a new 17.1 build 4/1 but we should wait to hear from hardstyl3r.
[G3 Android Development] dfunct:
Updating recovery

[MENTION=5501683]eric93se[/MENTION] Is this really required? I'm pretty sure I haven't done it updating from 15 to 16. I have only installed the LineageOS zip file via adb sideload.

Assuming that the recovery image we are talking about is TWRP and updating it before flashing 17.1 on top of 16 is actually required, what is the best way of doing it? dd command on a shell? or is there an auto-updater in the installed TWRP?
[G3 Android Development] NatSki:
Is there any settings i that need to change or just underclock the cpu?
[G3 Android Development] IssacZachary:
Thanks! I have gotten the same request to upgrade to LineageOS 17.1 both for April 1 and April 2. I'll still wait until the coast is clear of course. But thank you for all your hard work and help!!!

I don't know much about what's best and what's needed and what's not. But [MENTION=6880495]HardStyl3r[/MENTION] does seem to have made an updated version as of last month. Check out the 17th of March post on page 12:

RECOVERY 3.3.1 UNOFFICIAL TWRP for LG G3

I did originally have a problem getting LineageOS 15 onto my LG G3 851. The reason was I had an older version of TWRP that came with the Purple Drake Root I had used. But as soon as I got the latest version of TWRP at that time onto my phone LineageOS 15 installed without problem. I used the same version for LineageOS 16.
[G3 Android Development] blunatic:
I can now say that the 16 version runs much better than the 17
[G3 Android Development] dfunct:
BTW the current Official LineageOS 17.1 (17.1-20200402-nightly) is still broken. Clean flashed my d855 and it’s stuck on the LOS boot animation. I can hear some clicking soundS until phone overheats and reboots. Rinse and repeat
[G3 Android Development] IssacZachary:
Yipes!! I'll still hold off then. I hope it gets fixed soon. But anyway, the phone does run very well with LineageOS 16. The only problem I have is a battery problem and the operating system isn't going to fix that.
[G3 Android Development] Never_Sm1le:
The exact same problem happens with my d852, whether install by TWRP or Lineage Recovery.
[G3 Android Development] eric93se:
If you people read what hardstyl3r said you wouldn't be flashing till he said it was ready.

Will Viper4android FX 2.7 work with LineageOs 16.0 or 17.1 ?

i am using (lineage os16.1) official rom from (G3 D851). recently update available (lineage os17.1) and i am upgrading manually but my device not work properly. after device power on but boot logo animation is stuck and device boot looping. how to solution this problem ?
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
Yes. Just make sure to get the latest version (2.7.1.6) as earlier ones may cause you to boot into download mode (especially on 17.0 and 17.1).

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

As previously mentioned, the ROM builder said to stay off flashing for now.

To answer your question:

Restore your old ROM via TWRP (I assume you made a nandroid backup before updating). Else, dirty flash the old ROM over the current misbehaving one. Last resort: do a clean flash of the old (working) ROM.
[G3 Android Development] Daniyalahmed:
I did a clean install of the old rom because when 17.1 was not working I wanted to come back but I was not coming back from the recovery of 17.1 so I flashed twrp first with the help of fastboot and then back to the old rom Install

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
Just flash the build released on 20th March 2020 ("lineage-17.1-20200320-UNOFFICIAL-d851.zip"). That build had no issues.
[G3 Android Development] Daniyalahmed:
But my device is d851
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
You're right, my bad. My device is vs985. You should use the one released for d851 (lineage-17.1-20200320-UNOFFICIAL-d851.zip).

I'll edit that post. Thanks.
[G3 Android Development] Daniyalahmed:
I contacted (hardstyl3r) they say you should stay on your old rom now as the new rom is not right now and will be fine in a few days.
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
Are you telling me? Of course I already know that.

What I've been saying is that the 20th of March builds on Mega (as given in the OP) work well (I have used it on my vs985, so I know). Only the builds AFTER that date are giving issues (and I have stayed away from builds released after 20th March).
[G3 Android Development] Samueldw:
Apparently the issue is fixed: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/hudson/+/271632

Make sure I have the latest version of TWRP.

Download and copy over the latest version of LineageOS 17 when it's available.

Download the proper GAPPS and copy that to the phone too.

Once both are copied over, reboot into recovery and use the TWRP recovery to install the new version of Lineage and then GAPPS as a "dirty flash".

Does that sound correct?

I also have a D851 and just dirty flashed LineageOS 17.1 to it and have 4G LTE working just fine.

I did have a hiccup when I first booted, that is that I would put in my PIN and the phone would just "freeze" until the screen turned off. At which point if I turned it on it would do the same thing. But as I got prepared to to a clean flash I tried it again after a few minutes and everything was back to normal.

Playing with a GPS app to see gps performance (which is good) I found a bug, when leaving the app the gps icon stays on for a couple seconds (usually turn off immediately) and then I can no longer access the app tray, flinging up does nothing. I pressed the power button and then again to turn the screen on and I could not enter the phone, required a restart. In permission the gps app is only allowed to use gps when the app is being used, this is normal, but what I did notice in permission was that there was also the ability to let the app have gps permission all the time. I've sent you full logs.
