How does one change icons with this rom? I haven't found a way, I even used the search bar within the settings.
[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
Change icons where? There is not and has not been a way to change icons via ROM settings, ever. System-wide icon changing ended with Unicon Xposed module and Marshmallow (though I did use it on Nougat with unofficial PurifyOS Xposed early on).

As far as icons in your launcher, that depends on the launcher. Vast majority support icon packs, even some Launcher3s and Trebuchet.

If you're using the standard Pixel Launcher there is no icon pack support. Just install another launcher or use an add-on. See below. I even used it with the Moto Launcher (Launcher3-based) though I had to assign icons manually mostly.

[G3 Android Development] Ignoranus:
I'd show you what I mean, but that would mean reflashing my phone to this ROM and I'd really rather not go through the trouble. But as I recall, when you hold-tap your finger on the home screen there was a button called "Home Settings" next to wallpapers and widgets and in that settings tab was many settings which included changing icons for your apps (may be within a setting, but it definitely there!).

The best example I can give is showing you this video I made, it does not show changing icons (I don't think, haha) but it proves that you can change icons because the icons you see are not the system's defaults.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5WygNHfQLo&feature=youtu.be
[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
Heh, no need to consider reflashing ROMs for this.

Yes. That's how you access the settings of most launchers (Pie launchers now have a popup menu when long pressing). So again, whether or not one can apply icons depends on the launcher in use. If using an unmodified Pixel Launcher or Launcher3, icon pack support may not be there. Might have the option to change shapes maybe.

Your home screen and app drawer is the launcher. If it doesn't support icons then install another one (Nova, Lawnchair, Flick, so many others) or use the utility I linked before.

[G3 Android Development] noobSU:
One thing i want to ask is, How to increase the vibration intensity of Ringtones or notifications? I haven't found this option anywhere. Or i'm missing something.

Edit: I have searched the Google & came to know that there is no way to change it through any simple settings or what. This can be changed via a custom kernel etc. I don't want to use any custom kernel etc. Anybody know any other way to change these vibration settings?

Edit 2: (Opinion)

After a complete 24hours usage. Rom looks like a daily driver. Just some small bugs here & there. But One thing i have noticed alot is the battery backup against Crdroid v3.8 Android 7.1. It is decreased alot. Oreo looks battery hungry as compared to Nougat. I don't know if 9.0 will be good in this criteria. But, 9.0 is a noway go for me. As Xposed is not available for 9.0

I don't know, I'm thinking not. Last time I saw any talk about quick circle on custom ROMs was back in the Lollipop days.

Hmm, I should dust off the case and do some experimenting (don't have Oreo or Pie though).

[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
[Strange. I was in Candy7 when I started to reply but the phone vibrated for awhile and then rebooted. The ROM along with XTD R7 kernel has not been a good combo no matter how I configure it].

Off topic for sure but thanks. The Mahdi setup is working nicely. It was/is one of my oldest microG setups (original installer came from some long-dead thread) along with crDroid (from another dead microG-on-crDroid thread). Hadn't been able to run them when my sdcard slot failed a year ago. A second G3 obtained from a former dev gave me short-lived access until its slot (and screen shortly after) died. Back to my original G3 which officially died this August. Now I'm on my third. LOL.

Mahdi was completely unstable with the launchers (Trebuchet and SlimLauncher), Settings, and whatnot constantly crashing. Didn't know why so I started from scratch. Everything working nicely until I installed oandbackup. Everything went haywire. Rapid fire FCs again. Had to go into TWRP to remove the app. Once removed all was good again. Same happened again when I installed the Outline icon pack. Installable but not compatible with KK I guess.

Aside from those two things the ROM is running great. Using Slim Pie, Halo (Unique Controls 2.19), and floating, movable windows (XHFW3), and microG. Fun stuff.

Wow, nice story, [MENTION=6046143]marcdw[/MENTION]. Now it makes more sense to me. You are avoiding the Google Services I guess, which is somewhat cool. Sometimes the newer is not the better, although in Android, if you go hand by hand with Google, at the end your device becomes old, laggy and unstable, because their Services are heavier each time, and they don't care. They only want to sell more phones. It's always the same story. Thanks for sharing :).

How is the battery on your phones? Mine drains so fast.
[G3 Android Development] theistus:
On standby? While the screen is on? With WiFi on or off? Have you used better battery stats to see if there are wakelocks? Tested your battery? What model of phone do you have?
[G3 Android Development] invert_nexus:
Anyone ever track down the [timerfd] wakelock? I'm having the same issue on a d850. I've been dinking around with gsam battery monitor and better battery stats trying to figure it out but not really having much luck.

I've determined that it only happens with WiFi on. I'm testing location services off right now.

If you have experienced this issue, have you tried crdroid 5? Same issue? I'm going to give it a shot next. Or reinstall crdroid 4.6 to check if it's an issue from the get go or some app installed later.

I know I've got a crappy battery, but this just makes it worse.
[G3 Android Development] theistus:
Yeah, it's a WiFi problem. Something about dinner t changes that have to be integrated into the kernel.

Haven't tried Crdroid 5, but it's definitely there in LOS 16, so it's probably in Crdroid too.

Solution for now is to use wifi automatic, or similar app or Tasker script to disable WiFi when the screen goes off and turns it back on when the screen goes on.
[G3 Android Development] invert_nexus:
Crap.

I just tried crdroid 5 and it happens there too. I'm trying 3.8.3 right now just to check it out. Sucks that it's so out of date though....

(By the way, accidentally hit reply a bit early a minute ago. Didn't mean to just post "crap".)

---------- Post added at 02:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

Yikes. Update on crdroid 3.8.3.

It never sleeps. Ever.

So. Back to 4.6.

Unfortunately I get a crappy signal at home and need my wifi to stay on. Hopefully this gets rectified at some point...

Are there any other currently developed ROMs for the d850?

Came from Fulmics but it, for some reason, doesn't pick up my network well. I switched to T-Mobile, so that may have something to do with it, but crdroid picks up the signal better for sure.

Thinking about going back to stock, but without access to at&t's network, I can't ota so I'd be stuck on KitKat.
[G3 Android Development] theistus:
Lol did I say dinner changes? Meant driver changes. At least that what I inferred from a long ass thread that was above my pay grade.

I don't recall this being a problem on earlier Crdroid 4.7 ROMs? Been thinking of rolling back to do more testing, but I need this phone to actually work sometimes, lol.

At some point I should just bite the bullet and upgrade my phone..... But I really do like this old g3. Pretty screen, removable battery, microsd, lots of ram.... So it seems a shame when this is the only major issue.

It will get fixed, i think, hardstyler seems pretty committed to keeping this old lady going
[G3 Android Development] invert_nexus:
I didn't spend a lot of time investigating on the old 3.8 rom. I just installed, let it sit for a while, checked the battery stats and saw that the phone did not sleep at all.

I don't think it was the same issue. And, it's possible that it could have been fixed, but I didn't really have much time to spend on it. Like you said, I need the phone in a workable state.

It's just a backup phone until I can convince my wife to let me fix her newer phone with a broken screen. So, the poor battery life will probably work out for the best as it will drive her crazy and force her hand. She's such a cheapskate.

But, I'm glad that someone is trying to keep it going. It's not a terrible phone, despite it's age.

Fingers crossed it'll get fixed. These little glitches are maddening.

Okay, i think this is the thread, but bear in mind I might be off base. It *sounds* like the problem, but I have yet to get a confirm from any of the devs that this is the issue, at least in regards to PIE based roms. Sure seems like it though? What do I know though, this is above my pay grade. I'm pretty adept for a user, but I am by no means a dev. I'm probably not even mostly harmless, because a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, lol.

Anyway, here it is https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/wifi-idle-drain-custom-roms-t3831592

As I said before, I've been using an app called Wifi Automatic to turn my wifi off when the screen goes off, it seems to work really well....most of the time, lol. There have been a few times when it doesn't seem to trigger the wifi off, mostly if I haven't unlocked the phone and then unplug it. But it's been a lifesaver for the most part.

Meantime I'll just wait for a patch. Hardstyler promised a new update coming soon to his LOS rom, and I'm sure it will trickle out from there.

Problems Installing CRdroid

I tried installing CRDROID today and had some issues. Hopefully someone can help so I can try again.

I have a n LG G3 D850, unlocked and rooted running stock Kit Kat.

1) installed TWRP app and the latest bootloader for my device

2) In TWRP selected CDROID zip file

3) Flashed and rebooted

4) Lost TWRP

5) List Root

Unfortunately I realized to late that the version of CRDROID I installed was old. I could not find any way to update CRDROID with an app in the OS

I had to reflash back to stock KitKat then root again

Questions

A) Is there a way to update CRDROID in case an update is available?

B) How can I use my apps from the Play Store?

Thanks
[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
[MENTION=8085893]what2use[/MENTION], you didn't mention anything about doing any wipes. You can't just flash a custom ROM on top of stock. Have to do a clean flash where you wipe system, dalvik, cache, and data before flashing ROM.

As far as crDroid goes just download the last version. I believe for Nougat it is 3.8.3 and for Oreo it is apparently 4.7. I have not found this 4.7 so I have 4.6.

crDroid has root built-in I believe (enabled from developer options) otherwise you could flash Magisk to get root. Not sure how you lost TWRP though.

As far as Google goes you also have to flash a GApps (Google Apps) package. Custom ROMs don't have Google apps included like stock does. Open GApps is generally the go-to source. You can use a small package like pico or nano to get the basics which includes Play Store. The Aroma package is cool in that you can select the apps you want to install.

BTW, what TWRP version are you using. Using newer Android may require newer TWRP if what you have is old.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the LG Mobile Driver and nothing. I also tried another computer with the same result
[G3 Android Development] invert_nexus:

If so, it's got to be a driver or a cable issue. Possibly phone hardware, I suppose.
[G3 Android Development] what2use:
Yes, download mode does start. Not sure what happened, but id did not like the wipe.

That was when the new issue started. But, I was able to get back to KitKat.

It seems that even though windows was showing the LG MTP device failed, it was working enough to use the LGFlashtool.

I ran LGFlashtool and flashed the ROM back to KitKat. I then rooted using StumpRoot successfully

I didn't have time to install the TWRP yet since the battery was getting really low.

I will install TWRP and try to instal CRDROID again tomorrow. I am going to double check my steps to make sure

that I didn't miss anything

That may be the problem. I was using the TWRP image from the TeamWin site. It is twrp-3.0.2-0-d850 and is much older than the 3.2.3-d850 from the site you mentioned. There seems to be two files though, one says THEMED. What is the difference ?

I am going to try one of thee tomorrow. Thanks
[G3 Android Development] theistus:
The themed one just has different colors applied to the UI. It's red, I believe.

Some further tips I might give you, would be to double check that you are installing the correct rom for your device. Be sure to do a factory reset wipe of your phone from within TWRP before installing the ROM. Be sure that you are installing the correct GAPPS as well - 32bit 8.1 GAPPS. Installing the wrong gapps can cause all kinds of problems.

And read up all you can in the guides on the forums, particularly for your specific device. This forum section is for all device types, but there might be information or issues specific to your device in the d850 forum here: https://xdaforums.com/att-lg-g3

As the old saying goes, measure twice, cut once. I dare say we all messed up our fair share of phones when we were just starting out, and sometimes still do. But figuring out how to fix the stuff we messed up is how we learn.

Good luck!

I was able to get CRDROID to install yestreday and have some questions I am hoping someone can help with

1) Why am I getting a Trust Alert saying that SE Linux is not safe?

2) How can I get the three dot button for the App Drawer ?

3) Is there a way to change the swipe direction to unlock to Swipe Right ?

4) The default access method when plugging in to a computer USB (charge, MTP, PTP) does not save.

It goes back to Charge Mode and I have to chnge it to MTP every time I plug it into the computer

5) How can I change the LED Color for Charging? I want to make it like the stock Orange=Charging and Green=Full Charge
[G3 Android Development] MaverickNextDoor:
Glad your phone is up and running.

1) SELinux isn't "safe" because it is in Permissive mode. There's an app called SELinux mode changer which can toggle SELinux mode, however I don't know if changing this will break some functionality.

2) I don't think this is available on AOSP ROMs. I remember it on stock and Fulmics though.

3) I don't think there is.

4) In Developer Settings, you can set the default USB behaviour to your liking.

5) This option "should" be under Notifications under crDroid Settings (I'm running Pie now, so I can't be absolutely sure).
[G3 Android Development] what2use:
1) If SE Linux is not safe then why is the OS Using an Unsafe variant?

2) The swipe up app drawer is incredibly annoying. Can I use another launcher,

theme or whatever to go back to the three-dot app drawer ?

3) Set USB Mode to MTP in Developer Settings but CRDROID isnores this and sets it to charging anyway.

This is another annoyance. If I can't get it fixed, I will try another ROM instead

Found LED color. Who hoo. Works great. Thanks

[G3 Android Development] marcdw:
[MENTION=8085893]what2use[/MENTION], the various features that you're used to on a vendor/carrier-specific stock ROM are more than likely not there on AOSP/CM/LOS. Have to think differently.

The home screen and app drawer is the launcher. LGHome (or whatever it's called) is on LG phones with whatever features it has. Custom ROMs come with various launchers as default such as Trebuchet, Launcher3, Pixel Launcher, etc. Some have little to no options. You can install any launcher you want, some with a ton of features. The so-important three dot menu is there in some, like Nova I think, but that doesn't mean its contents will have what LG's launcher had. Obviously.

The swipe up for app drawer. Yeah, I hear ya on that one. Used to annoy me when it was introduced. It's a Launcher3/Pixel thing, default behavior now since a lot of launchers are based on those. You can try Nova or some other old-school style ones like Holo Launcher and M Launcher.
