[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] iOrpheus06:
1. Yeah you can flash dracula or kermit kernel then flash magisk if you want magisk hide to work without gplay services crashing.

2. Updating lineageos will overwrite your current kernel with the default one that can cause GPservices crashing, but you can always flash other kernels on top of it.

Keep in mind that everytime you want to switch between kernels that uses anykernel2 (dracula and kermit for example), you have to flash your rom's boot.img found in the rom.zip... flash boot.img through TWRP then flash the kernel.zip that you want, then flash magisk/supersu. To revert back to stock kernel, just flash the boot.img then flash root if you want root access.

VoLTE?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Midyr:
Thanks,

after this I've after 5 days waste of time a ROM which works (but with another kernel and firmware from STOCK because of no camera with LOS FW)

I hope, this will be fixed in the future, too.

Midyr
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] LGFr....:
Just for clarification: you say you are now using unofficial LOS, but with another kernel (which one?) and with Stock Samsung Firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Midyr:
Hi,

yes. I'm using the kermit kernel and all files from /system/vendor/firmware. I have not had the time yet to look, which of this firmware files are really necessary.

This combination is the only one where I get camera magisk hide and BT working.

The firmwares for camera, kermit kernel for magisk and unofficial LOS for BT(with the official LOS BT didn't works in my car)

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Etemchin:
Hey All,

Firstly, thanks in advance for the wisdom, advice, and support.

I need some advice. I am a historic Galaxy Note user - from the Note 2 through the Note 5, I've had and loved them all. I recently switched to the V30 last week after my Note 5 just wasn't making it anymore. The V30 appealed to me as a multimedia powerhouse with the unique 10 bit camera, cine log, etc. (I create multimedia - video/photos/social media on the daily for my job - the have since given me a iPhone 7+, but I still prefer creating on my android). The Note 8 appeals because it seems to be more comforting considering my history, is a powerhouse as well in so many ways, and a telephoto lens, among other things.

After returning my first Verizon V30 for terrible screen banding, I got another one that has a pretty good screen with the exception of brightness uniformity issues and crushed blacks in low light. I've read, watched, and researched as much as I can, and I can't decide what to do. I'd love your input and advice on what to do. Here's my pro/con list in no particular order:

V30:

+ DAC

+ Cine Log

+ Size in hand

+ $200 card + daydream VR

- Screen in low light (uniformity + crushed blacks)

- Wide angle cam

- 4gb ram

Note 8:

+ S pen

+ Samsung Pay

+ Telephoto camera

+6gb Ram

+ $150 credit (best buy promotion)

- Size

- Fingerprint location

Advice is much appreciated!

Thank you!

I think if you can answer the question what do you miss from your current V30 is there a feature that is really USEFUL for you you wish it would have had? Specs aside real use for your specific needs
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Sheldor1967:
I am not sure what exactly you are asking....

I can tell you that I had the Note 8 for 2 weeks and took it back. It's BIG. HEAVY and I didn't use the S-Pen after the first couple of days. The Camera was phenomenal. I returned it and used a flip phone for two days, then bought the V30 on release day at AT&T. I did it that way so I could return it for the Note 8 if I didn't like it.

So far, so good. My screen is good. The brightness is weird, sometimes it seems brighter than others, but as of yet it has not been a big deal. It is NOWHERE near as bright as the Note 8, but no phone is. I do miss that about the 8. I do not miss the zoom lens. It was a gimmick. It helped some with macro photos, but the digital zoom on the V30 is AMAZING.

Battery life is about the same, and the LG charges faster then the Note. The LG fits in pockets better and seems right in my hand, whereas the Note seemed way too long. You really notice that the LG is nearly 40 grams lighter, but it does not feel cheap. Also, the manual mode on the LG Camera is so much better than the Note. It has much better tactile control on it's slider. That makes all the difference in the world. And the sound, whether through a cord or bluetooth is MUCH better in my car!

I have until Thursday to make up my mind about trading, but I think I'm going to be very happy with the LG.

I hope that helps
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] eduardmc:
the note 8 is better. smoother has bettet screen , feel more premium. owning both right now the note 8 is going back and is just because of how tall and heavy it is. the v30 is just much more comfortbale devices. Botj phone are awesome.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Etemchin:
Thank you all for the opinions!

I appreciate your feedback and and still conflicted although am leaning toward keeping the V30. One of the original reasons I chose was the size and it sounds like the 8 is just too huge. Just wish the V30 had Samsung Pay and a better screen experience, but I think the V30 checks all the right boxes.

Thanks again!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] el.quechon:
I was debating between those two also and had to go with v30 I've owned note phones before but never used the spen but cant deny note8 looks beautiful but I'm a music guys and prefer the camera set up of the v30 and so far no issue with the v30 screen loving it
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tdang_RN:
If the op is concern about size then the v30 is the right choice. I am also a note user, dating back from the original phablet note. The note 8 feels Right at home, if anything the note 8 is actually easier to hold vs note 5 and back. Starting with the note 7 which was quiet nice to hold also. I suggest the op go play with the note 8. If the v30 screen is not your cup of tea, the note 8 has the best screen right now.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Nay Tyzon:
Why the preference for Samsung Pay? (I use Android Pay but have never used the other.)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] eduardmc:
unlike android pay. samsung pay work anywhere u are able to swipe ur card, even if it doesnt take electronic payment. it sents a magnetic signal to the credit swipe machine just like if u are physically swiping ur credit/debit card register in the app. works 100% of the time. unlike other electronic payment like apple or android pay.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
I have the Note 8 but have tested out the V30 as well.

Pros for the Note 8:

-Brighter screen with more saturated colors

-6 GB RAM helps with app management

-Better looking UI. Though both can be themed.

-Feels more substantial

-Conventional power button placement

-Headphone jack on the bottom instead of top

Pros for the V30:

-Smaller form factor, more comfortable to hold

-Audio optimization
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] eduardmc:
ad to the v30.

better fingerprint location

up there with the best,faster more acurrate fingerprint around

face unlock with screen off

better battery life

phone still super cool doesnt matter what u do. note 8 doesnt get has hot like s8. but cannot compare to the v30 coolness

i had both but decided to keep the v30 just because the hifi dac, wide angle lens, the size which is 100% more comfortable and 6" of usuable screen. hated the curve screen.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septembersrain:
For me the Note 8 was just too heavy. The curved screen registered way too many accidental touches. I don't use the S-Pen on my Note 3, so I doubt I'd use it on the Note 8. The screen on the V30 is bright bright enough for me. The camera is fine. The audio quality with headphones is amazing on the V30 too.

Overall, for me, the V30 worked out great. Now to get my first VR headset. They said I'm approved for the promotion and it'll be here in 6-8 weeks. Two year warranty was a nice added bonus as well.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] barondebxl:
I just got home from work. I have the note 8 since Friday so basically 2 days. I love the phone except that it's too big and heavy like you said. If if was 6 inches itwp ups be the perfect device. But damn it's so big. So now I'm thinking about returning it and grabbing either an S8, V30 or Z2 even.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ern88:
Check out the V30. It's a great phone. Body to screen ratio is awesome. The face detection works great. Battery life is great. A huge improvement over my Nexus 6p.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] keithleger:
I had the Note 8 (unlocked US version) and then bought the V30...after about 3 days with the V30 I sold the Note 8.

Have u guys considered the regular S8?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] keithleger:
Yes, my wife has the S8 and I had the S8+. I prefer the V30 or Pixel 2 XL over them. I just love the aspect ration of the V30 so much more and it feels like the perfect size phone to me. Just wish I could get rid of some of the random lag and have it snappy like the Pixel :P
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] barondebxl:
Oh damn random lag? No bueno lol. Im literally at the tmobile store about to exchsnge my note 8 for V30 or S8, still havent decided

No more lag than the S8 has...but noticeable compared to Pixel XL 2
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] el.quechon:
I haven't experienced any lag and have been using the phone for a week it really comes down to features you will use the note 8 I'm sure is great but I know I would never use the spen but the v30 use headphone all the time, wide angle camera (learning manual mode love it) I just would love for lg to keep up with updates and polish the software.

I like that it has a horrible front facing camera.

You guys will laugh at me but those fine tuned details make me look old as heck.

?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
Nope. Not going to laugh at you at all. This is exactly what I've been saying over and over. I can tease more detail out of a selfie from this camera than most people would really want to see. Absolutely none of the people I've had model for me would ever want to see a photo of themselves with the amount of detail I can get out of a photo from the selfie camera even with minimal editing. The camera isn't bad at all. It's probably about right.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septembersrain:
I agree. It gives me a sort of airbrushed look. Which is nice since I'm lazy with no makeup.

I too got the Pixel XL 2 and have been torn between the two. Seems like when I use the pixel i'm missing the V30 and not the other way around so I think I'm sending the Pixel back this week and getting a refund. I'll stick with the tmo V30 since I don't really need root or custom ROMS. Takes too much of my time when I start that. From what I'm sensing the unlocked version might not have band 71 for tmo.

However, if they release the unlocked version in the Moroccan blue...well...I might be tempted to jump to the unlocked version.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
Im torn on this also, Ive had the Pixel 2 xl from verizon since launch (im on Tmobile with it) V30 arrives tomorrow, I do not know which to keep. I love android oreo so far and how fast this phone is, but its very plain and with a locked bootloader this is all I get. Battery isnt as good as I thought it would be and it charges way slower than my s8+ which I just jumped for v30. Looks like I have a week to make up my mind
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Bootup:
I"m same way; I pick up V30, didn't miss a thing about the Pixel. Pick up Pixel and there are instantly things I miss with the V30. The weight, the feel, buttons location. The pixel's camera is amazing but I don't see it as worlds better than the V30 on my shots. Most shots you can't tell which is better. I miss the V30's battery life, which is funny because the Pixel's battery life is so much better than most any other phone I've had.

I'm waiting to see if root/unlock is going to come before my next overseas trip at end of November. I might just get the TMO V30 again and 'suffer' with lack of root. When I'm in Japan, I spend a lot of time with headphones so I need that audio. Also, TMO isn't half bad over there with its data and voice. I'm keeping the Pixel because of Project Fi and I almost always carry 2 phones on trips.

I don't want to outright disagree with you when I say the V30 charges faster AND lasts longer than my wife's s8+, my son's Note or my PIxel. But I will say, check your cable. I did find the V30 was more finicky about fast charging with regards to the cable. I went 4% to 100% faster than my pixel with 8% to 100% using QC3.0 and a good cable. I did find that one cable I had charged the V30 about 30% slower than another cable.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
I always use the chargers and cables that come with the phones. I have been reading that the v30 battery is great and have also read some people that aren't happy with pixel XL 2 battery/charging time

I hear you. I'm sending my black pixel back because I have a Panda 128 on order. I might just see what they are selling for on eBay when I get it though!

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septembersrain:
I would of been so ecstatic if we'd have gotten the blue or black one. It's not that the silver is bad but black is my favorite color and that blue is unique.

As for charging, using the charger that came with it does the job well. It's really fast to me.

Fortunate to own a successful company that treats me well :) and I love phones. But I sell them after I use them and only keep one at a time long term...so really, even though I go through probably 6-8 phones a year I lose less than $500 if not break even depending on the deals I get. Advantage of not getting on payment plans (makes it easier to sell). It is something I enjoy. Better than gambling because I'd lose much more money than that! LOL

And I'm not 20 and in college :P
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] RojasTKD:
Ask yourself what is most important to you.

If you into audio and have some nice headphones to drive then nothing beats the V30

If you can make use of the S pen for notes and/or cutting selecting images the Note 8 has no equal.

How and of what do you take pictures of? What will you get the most use from a wide angle lens (V30) or a zoom lens (Note8). Also if you plan to shoot exclusively in auto mode, the Note 8 may be a better choice. If you can or willing to use manual mode the V30 the king there.

Are you ok with large (tall) phone or do you prefer something more compact?

I currently have a Note 8 and love it. I have no issues with larger phones. I will likely get a V30 in several month because I have a collection of nice headphones and love the superior audio quality and driving power I can get with LG's Quad DAC. AS some one with two lines I don't have to decide, I can have both :)

This! Samsung pay works almost anywhere. MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) is a superior solution.

Can someone make a little help,

Coming from OP5, I would like to sell it and buy LG V30. The OP5 have very bad camera at low light and night.

And when I go to rooms where is very low light or like no light at all like sometimes in discotheque and I took photo with OP5 with flash ON the photo is still very, very BAD, so much noise and photo is not clean and small​ details. And when my friend with Samsung S7 or S8 took photo in the same place, then is different story. The photo is very beautiful, clean and no noises, so much details and very, very good like DSLR. The flash on S7 and S8 is very good.

Can someone please take few photo in low light and total night with LG V30 and Note 8 (or Samsung S7,S8), to compare photos. This will help me a lot. It will be good to potograph some person in the dark and in bad light with flash ON.

after reading alot of reviews and watching videos, i decided to get the V30 so I could try it out. It was between this and the Note 8. For me audio is very important so that gave the V30 the edge for now. I'm going to use it for a week and see how I feel about it. I'm coming from an HTC 10 which a big part of me still likes alot. The DAC on this phone is still really good and the 10 runs so smooth in late 2017. Anyways I will keep an eye out for any scrolling lags that I have read about. I hope they don't happen but I will report on it. Oh i got the T-Mobile version

I really enjoyed my time with the V30 but i'm sending it back to T-mobile for the Note 8. Samsung is knocking $200 off the price and T-mobile is discounting it another $130. That's only $620 for the Note 8. Too good for me to pass up at that price.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Nay Tyzon:
I wish the decision was that easy for me.

I'm on "team V30" for a couple of reasons, none of which are cost.

Doesn't mean I'm not still on the fence, or standing near it. Note 8 has a lot good going for it, but the V30's wide angle camera is what has me on the hook.

These are really the only two phones in contention for my dollar.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Arun1314:
I have two lines and I am fortunate to have the Note 8 and v30, like others I have owned the Note 1-5, and 7 and use the S-pen frequently with the note at work and the V30 for more personal use. I have taken pictures, text, watched YouTube, movies, and played games minimally on each device, the screen on the Note 8 is unmatched, the DAC on the v30 is outstanding, they have been used equally daily without lag or glitch they are very smooth and are rock solid devices, battery life is about the same and cameras are both excellent..... manual mode on V30 is a plus over Note 8 and point and shoot performance on Note 8 camera better more than half the time. Picking between the two in my opinion would be left up to what is more comfortable size-wise and what features appeals to you most because both phones are great, I could not live without my Note 8 but I am so drawn to using my v30 more and more...I'm taken aback by how good it is, it caught me off guard. Whichever one you are fortunate enough to purchase you will be in a win-win situation and by the way the LG V30 has permanently made me shelf my S8 +.
