[LG V20 Questions & Answers] THE-COPS:
I'll try and help the best I can..

Within the last year or so..I have been reading about this issue quite often. That is, people posting about "Phone Idle" having high percentage in battery stats. And then they are off to hunt down the culprit. The truth is, "Phone Idle" is NOT eating up your battery. Phone Idle is just that.... Time the phone has spent being idle (being still, or CPU/Battery not being used). Or in this case, percentage of total battery "usage" that belongs to "Phone Idle". In actuality, phone idle isn't "using" anything. The "usage" for phone idle is really time NOT used. A higher percentage is better. If your phone sat for 2 days straight without being used...the phone idle % will be real high. Also, you can't "Greenify" phone idle. You only greenify phone idle when you greenify other apps.....think about it.

And as for Wifi. The Wifi radio on this phone is a bit more power hungry. It doesn't even include any power saving options that some phones, like my Samsung S4 has. My S4 used on average from 2% - 6% depending on signal strength. The V20 can use from 7% - 11% ..again depending on signal strength. If you leave Wifi on overnight and it's in bad proximity to the router..10-11% is normal.

What is your average signal strength for your 4G and cellular (calls)? CDMA has 1X, I'm not sure what GSM uses. If it's in the high 90's and higher, that right there could be chewing up your battery. Phone radio often doesn't even show on the usage list.

How often do you need to charge? Also how much time between a charge and what is your usual screen on time now..after you wrote this post? Phone idle is only at the top because the "idle" time now exceeds the amount of time you have your screen on. ......don't take this the wrong way but some people think the phone idle is actually something that's draining the battery. It's not..it's just placed within the list. Ignore the Mah it shows for it. That just assumes it's some app and it tries to convert everything into mah..and I really don't know how accurate that is. But it obviously doesn't apply to Phone Idle. Speaking of...what is the amount of phone idle time?

Anyone have their pandora ui looking good? Mine has very small cover art/thumbs up button/title text etc. The widget is way too small to be useful. Pretty much pandora is all i listen too atm
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Spillunke:
Thanks!

EDIT: Cant run this :/ after flashing it doesnt fully boot up. Stuck in bootanimation. Dont know where the problem is.

Wiped cache, dalvik and system, flashed the rom and rebooted.

Also tried to flash magisk 15.3 and xposed 89.1 after rom, because it was installed before, but no success.

2017G, stock bootloader
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
No problem :good: Better late then never ;)

Added the battery saving tweak which should improve SOT. Also nav bar, google assistance, center clock, faster scaling 0.25. Hope you'll enjoy !
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kraljan66:
have a bootloop problem too...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mario32:
A2017 all ok no bootlop twrp 3.2.1.0 universal bootloader b15
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Strange, flash went flawless on my device, even after MiFavor 5.0 and so on. It's actually like the other slim roms i uploaded...

Perhaps other users can comment if flash was succesfull or not.

I don't see , except when the upload has an error, why it shouldn't boot properly.

As this rom is downloaded 50 times already , i think the problem should have been general but it isn't. .

EDIT : as [MENTION=1771725]mario32[/MENTION] reported it boots ok.

So perhaps flash universal B15 + proper modem. Even try TWRP 3.2.1.0

But as said, it should boot properly. There's no special things added to this one as not to boot ok imo.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
Wait, to install this on an U or CH you have to flash the B09 bootstack?

Maybe it'd be best to try flashing the Universal B32 bootstack on the U's (or at least the older B15). I don't know if it would work though

I'm assuming that it works on the chinese because of the report above
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
It's in the thread itself.

For other models flash the Universal + modem

For G just the B09 bootstack

I just made the text a little bigger so you cant miss ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kraljan66:
I really don´t know where is problem with my AXON, your SLIM B13 booting without any problem, but this ...I tried univer B15, modem, your 09 bootstack....without change. After that tried again WIPE dalvik/cache...but still same...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
not like it'd work, xda labs doesn't display text format besides bold and italic xd

It's OK I just didn't see it. Not like I don't have a G though.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
LOL, i thought your DFU unbrick guide and your other threads uses text formats too so.... :D

Anyways, OP updated for the record:good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nfsmw_gr:
Looking good man, thanks for providing to the community. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lndiana:
Now everything works fine except one thing - I can't end phonecalls
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
Hi [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION], thanks for this great upgrade. ROM is even smoother than before. I love it. No issues with installing it on my A2017 4/128, after I flashed universal BL&Ch-modem. Baseband upgrated, radio improved.

Two things to report after a half day of intensive use:

1. Settings FC, whenever I klick advanced settings/storage. Known issue or shall I log it.

2. I can't apply the jojoc tweaks. I tried it several times, no way. Any advice before I just do it digit by digit?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
THNX !

I'am running it now for a month and it's indeed smooth and good battery life.

Now to your issues :

1. i dont have had any issues when entering advanced/storage. Does it FC always ? Perhaps its because the G version is a 64GB and yours 128GB. Perhaps there's a mismatch ? [MENTION=1771725]mario32[/MENTION] : you have a 128GB too ? Do you have FC on advanced settings / storage ?

2. You're running SuperSU or Magisk ? Either way, check if EXKernelmanager has permissions. On SuperSU all should work ok after reboot. On Magisk you'll have to enable it first via flashing my zip or with the init'd enabler in Magisk.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mario32:
64gb version Yes FC advanced settings / storage
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thnx for feedback. On my G version no fc.

You have a chinese version i suppose ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mario32:
Yes
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Which model please ?

I think the storage fc occurs on chinese model only.

Btw, 120 downloads in less then a day :o

Perhaps other users can give comment on how it's running. Would appreciate that.Thnx ! ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lndiana:
... the G- model
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Stock dialer ?

Try wipe data/cache in recovery. Reboot and see.

Otherwise i only can advice to redo the procedure.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lndiana:
thx - by the way regarding battery consumption and all the other main features, a great rom. The way of guiding the flash through twrp - pure luxury - a la bonheur!

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

... and it worked
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Eagledig:
Perfect ! Thanks !

But, how to complete disable softkey bar pop ? She popped up too often.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Go into settings/features/nav keys and slide it to off. Now you can swipe the nav bar down so it wont show up.

To disable it definitely out of settings and home screen, you need to alter the build.prop : ro.config.navkeys=0 change to 1 (line 277) save and reboot.

Nav bar should be gone.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] maxhuisman:
Is it required to have root access on your device first? I have a A2017G with RR Remix now, without root. (Sorry for the noob question)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
No problem. No it's not required. You get the option whether you want Magisk or SuperSU or even no root. But then again, i'd advice to take the root option to benefit all other features ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Much appreciated :good:

Such comments makes worth all the testing and the effort for realizing it ;)

Installed and running on a 2017U without any issues until now. Used the universal BL and the designated modem and all works so far. Thanks so much for the good work!!!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
What did you (miserably fail to) say?

[MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] Alright, I've been using the ROM for about half a day, and it's pretty good! I was gonna suggest if you could add Root Browser there but Sold Explorer is so similar (even better in some aspects) that I'm gonna stick to it

EXKM reports 12% battery usage per hour which is good. I'll see tomorrow how much it really lasts.

One thing you might wanna look at is Material Notification Shade. It basically fixes the biggest flaw that stock has

Could you try to make the stock 2.0.0B13 camera work with this ROM? I mean it does work and all, but it is only capable of 13MP. I don't know what you need to change to make it work, but having it function would be nice. I think the difference is mostly the UI but there may be some changes under the hood.

Also, it'd be nice if you could add an option to select which launcher to use (for example between mifavor, that weird stock launcher, Lawnchair, maybe some other like Nova) just to get rid of the unused ones
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sutudaubu:
OH MY GOD, this rom is so good. I've just installed it and everything is good! I went from A2017 LOS to this rom and I'm really satisfied!! Thank you so much! [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION]
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Much appreciated :good:

*the Solid Pro is indeed quite good actualy. Very snappy without hesitation. Setting permissions aso is far better then others...But Root Browser can be added in next one.

*Sometimes i even get around 9h SOT. I had that on MiFavor5.0 too, so i believe this JoJoC tweak is doing it's job well imo

*MNS can be added in next one

*afaik this one has 20MP, but the B13 is much better, true. I can look into it. But pulling camera is not that easy. I tried it even with the B13 dialer but a no go. But i'll give it a try

*yeah stock launcher is a wast of space. Adding/replacing a new launcher can be done

Much appreciated :good:

Btw, if other users also have suggestions for taking up some other additions to a next build, let me know ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
Would love to see lawnchair added with the option to remove the other launchers.

The other feature I always miss when coming back to stock is the ability to assign actions to the hardware buttons. I always have 1) drag down notifications on home button long press and 2) turn screen off on home button double tap.

As for battery, I'm still getting longer life on aicp with llama, even when using the jojoc tweaks (which are correctly applied). To be fair though, the difference is not that much, but it is impossible to get 7 hours SOT. I'll regularly get 5h30 over 1d10h.

SOT doesn't mean much though without taking overall duration into account and usage of course.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thx for your input joaste !

The Lawnchair can be added. Can look into the assigning too as an option.

I know your history about the SOT :cyclops: As you said SOT does not mean all. But a do notice a big difference f.e. when on idle...battery doesn't drop hardly. That's a very big difference comparing to running without the tweak.

Perhaps i'll do a test on llama too and see. Can put it into the rom as an option perhaps.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
It's a pity they are no custom kernels for stock with other governors, schedulers, hotplugging options.

For jojoc, I had done a test previously and can't say it was conclusive. I didn't really see any evidence of battery saving. Again, it is difficult to precisely compare. You would have to do the exact same operations in the exact same environment.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not disputing the fact that it is working good for you.

The best I ever got was on purefusion which uses EAS (6h55). Unfortunately, the ROM had the speakerphone bug and is no longer updated.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
No problem with that buddy. All input is ok :good:

I saw a lot during the time that had a hugh benefit with this tweak, others just had a small benefit. That happens :o

But then again imo, not all batteries batches put into this device are the same. I see lots of users who hardly have a 3h SOT or less, which imo is hardly to believe that it's all due to usage.

I think when you're above 5h SOT with average use load , it's all ok.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
Agreed. I actually wonder if there are also some other hardware implementations that are very slightly different from one batch to another. This could explain some users having issues ever most others don't (I'm thinking about the mic bug that many are still having, but not all).
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] XandeR180:
Looks like none of the settings for the battery tweaks were set after flashing. Would I have to reflash the rom in order to try again or can I just tweak things via EXKM manually so that they match what's in the screenshots?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Did you add the option in Aroma?

On magisk ? Flash init.d zip afterwards or enable module in magisk.

Normally the tweak, when selected in aroma, should run automatically.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] XandeR180:
I did all of the above. Though I just found your zip in the tweak's original thread so I'll try flashing that.

UPDATE: Yeah, no. That didn't change anything. It said that it was successful, however nothing changed. The values aren't 100% the same.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
You need to compare the "big cluster" in EXKM. Normally it should be the same.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
[MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] By the way, what are you running now? This ROM, the b32 based one or something else?

I must admit that I prefer Mifavor 5.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mario32:
Mi favor 5.0 this rom pls?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Now i'm on this one. But switching between this one and B13 though :cyclops:

The MF5.0 B13 that i made without the fc, was very good indeed. Imo , for me, it had an even better battery life, better camera app, call record in dialer app... But now on this one for a while because of this upload and to assist a bit :o

Will see if i can pull the camera out of B13 and test it elswhere.

Yeah, would be great isn't it :D
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] XandeR180:
Nope. Nothing changed. I'll just give up on it for now I guess
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
What version of TWRP are you using? What version of magisk? Do you see the init.d linker in the magisk modules?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] XandeR180:
Magisk v15.3 and TWRP 3.2.1. And yeah the module appears to be enabled.

I also have another issue where whenever I flash ARISE Magnum Opus (or even when I just flash Viper4Android), it breaks Dolby Atmos. Reflashing DA causes me to get stuck on boot as well. Any way around that?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
That is completely normal. Instead of flashing all that stuff just install the Viper4Android magisk module for magisk 15+ by shadysquirrel
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] XandeR180:
Alright thanks. As for the tweak, don't worry about it I guess. I'm still getting much better battery life than when I was on an AOSP rom anyway
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] whips:
How do we get navbar on 2017U model?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] whips:
I installed on my U model and I notice two things:

1) Nav bar not enabled and I don't see anything in setting to enable it

2) I got a warning that my SD card was corrupt and needs to be formatted. I backed up the contents and tried formatting the card, but that cause FC on settings/advanced/storage. Now there's no way for me to use my SD card.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
As i saw with some other U models, the nav bar wont show up even when flashing a total new build.

As for the SD issue, i know the CN model has issues when on 4/128gb. Dont know about issues on U model. Other users on U could give some feedback here.

EDIT : as a saw on PNW, Magisk seems to give problems related to SD card issues. When you encounter SD card issues first try to install rom with SuperSU as this gives no problems (as posted on PNW). Also do not update Magisk. This rom uses the 14.3.

Pls report if this helps.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gifgof:
Hello, I've got A2017 G with latest TWRP,

I followed your every step, but I can't initialize jojoc battery tweak, and my phone is not rooted,

I tried to install SuperSU and Magisk, but it's not working so I have to manually flash Magisk / SuperSU,

I can't initialize the battery tweak too, and when I access settings>advanced settngs>storage I get an "setting has stopped" message

Where did I go wrong?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] whips:
I will give it a shot and see how it goes, however it's would be a real bomber if magisk doesn't work because I have a couple of work apps for which I need to hide root for them to work. Also a none related question, is there a way to enable the missing quick setting tiles, for example night mode toggle and DND tiles I use a lot and neither of them are there now.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Yeah i understand, but do the test on supersu. If working, you still can try to use Magisk 14.0 and see what happens. Perhaps previous versions will do the trick...

Btw, i have dnd and night mode. Here i use material not. shade but anyways, they are there in tiles.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] whips:
Where do I go to set that material shade?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
It's just an app from playstore i installed later on. Nothing special.

But all the tiles are there (even without using the Material Not. Shade)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] whips:
OK not sure what's going on with my device but I'm definitely not seeing the tiles you are seeing and when I go to edit tiles, there are no additional tiles to add apart from those that are visible by default. Also I did a clean install and use SuperSU but store setttings still FC. Funny thing is if I remove the SD card it doesn't FC. Really weird.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
The 'Sound' tile is DND and the night mode is just not there i think

ZTE's implementation doesn't use quick settings until MiFavor 5, but Material Notification Shade somehow does. You can get rid of settings and add some app specific ones like pixel filter's.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] whips:
The sound tile is just to toggle between different ringer modes, that is 'Silent', 'Vibrate' or 'Ring aloud'. On the stock ROM I had plenty of tiles to choose from, is there a reason those tiles would be missing from this ROM and is there anyway to add them? Maybe like an entry in build.prop?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
I tested and disabled Material NS and the DND and the nightmode tiles are indeed gone. Thought otherwise but it's the same as yours.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Question : are you having FC's on your U device when entering advanced settings/storage ?

Magisk ? supersu ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Flogisto:
All good here. I installed Magisk following your instructions, safety net passed. See attached screenshot. If I may place a couple of minor requests. Coming from another stock based ROM, I noticed that in this one, when I am connected to my bluetooth headphones, the battery level does not show on the status bar next to the Bluetooth icon. Is there anyway to add this little indicator? I find it really useful.

The second request is the ability to do a full drop down of the notifications while pulling from either left or right side of the screen.

The fourth request is that I am missing the cast screen button in the quick access buttons when pulling down the notifications. Is it hidden somewhere?

That would be all. Thanks again for this great ROM.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] whips:
So here's the thing, I'm in fact using a U device (64GB) and I got FC on settings using magisk. I then did a clean install and used superSU and was still getting FC. I noticed if I removed the SD card I don't get FC so I took it out and formatted in linux using gparted, re-inserted in phone and now I can access settings. I will again try with magisk to see if it now works.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thanks for your quick reply. As whips also has a U version i wanted to be sure if you were running ok. As you do i see. I come back later to your other quesions. Thnx !

OK. I hope you'll manage :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] whips:
This is indeed true! I installed material shade and now I'm seeing the missing tiles!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
I think you have to allow that from the Bluetooth screen

The full drop down is an LOS feature. But pulling down with two fingers is the same

There never was a Cast button there, but there is one on Settings - Display

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

The DND tile is basically one that puts your phone in Silent and blocks heads up notifications. If you needed the DND tile for sound then just use that.

What is 'the stock ROM'? Were you on MiFavor 5 before??
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Flogisto:
Thanks for your answer. I have attached my Bluetooth settings screen and as you can see, there is not much to modify other than the standard settings. I installed this ROM coming from [ROM] Adm Team ROM A2017G V3 (B06 and B08 7.1.1 MiFvaorUI 5.0) 24/09/2017, which has both the battery indicator and the CAST screen quick button. I thought it was a standard thing but maybe it is not :p :p .

The two finger drop down actually works! I guess I forgot about it!
