[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Trousers2:
Hi all,

Have an AT&T branded V20 in Australia so not getting updates. Also can't use the hotspot without it being registered on AT&T network.

Want to know if its safe to flash a KDZ, thinking US99610N as its from the unlocked variant?

Have a few questions:

Is it possible?

Anybody know of a good guide to do it?

Risk of hard/soft bricking?

Possibility for recovering after possible brick?

Any help is greatly appreciated, been trying to find answers on my own for ages to no avail.

Thanks!

Root your phone, then flash the latest H910 firmware. There are two zips that are in the ROMs forum -- one will take you back completely to stock, and the other will upgrade you, but leave TWRP, you can decide which one.

As for flashing the US996 firmware, it may work, probably won't brick your phone, but there is no reason to...

-- Brian
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Trousers2:
Really appreciate your reply, couple of questions:

I've noticed there are a few methods for doing this, dirtysanta etc, which would you recommend keeping in mind what I want to do?

Would updating to a newer H910 firmware still leave me with the issue of the hotspot wanting an AT&T connection? That's the only reason I thought to flash to US996 as its unlocked so would think that's the only way to alleviate the mobile hotspot issue.

Thanks again for your reply!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
Search for 'H910 root' in News and DIscussions. I made a thread specifically for the H910 up to V10r.

Have you ever installed the mobile hotspot app for the carrier that you use on any other phone? If so, go into the playstore and search for it -- you will be able to install it.

For example, I use T-Mobile with my H910, and after I debloated all the AT&T crapware, I just went into the playstore and installed all the T-Mobile apps that I need. If for some reason that isn't possible for you, you can always side load them. The bottom line is, that while it may work, you will probably have more trouble if you flash another models firmware. There are exceptions, but why do it if you don't have to :)

-- Brian
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Trousers2:
Thanks heaps for your replies. I'm not trying to be difficult (but probably kinda am), I guess also my reason for looking at the US996 route is I live in Australia and that model was sold here, the H910 wasn't. So if I flashed to that wouldn't I be getting OTA updates, not having to flash every time?

Also with the hotspot, this is just a little bit of a foreign concept to me. I've owned plenty of Android phones but this is my first non-Nexus. All the others I've bought from overseas and its been as simple as settings>network>hotspot & tethering and away you go. So with this one I have to download an app? Seems stupid for something that is such a basic feature and is built into Android. I'm not sure why they bother with all this crap, stock Android is better in every way IMO.

Again really appreciate your guidance.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
Well, all I can say is try it. It isn't going to brick your phone so bad that you can't recover, but the recovery process would involve you flashing the H915 KDZ and rooting. In order to do that, you must be at ARB 0, so make sure that whatever US996 KDZ that you flash doesn't increment ARB. Also, let's say that you flash the US996 10c KDZ and it works fine, but down the road you take an OTA that increments ARB AND doesn't work. You would then have no way to fix your phone.

Just trying to point out some of the pitfalls you may run into.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Trousers2:
No I appreciate the pitfalls being pointed out. I thought it was the safer way to go but guess not... I'll take a look at your thread you mentioned earlier when I have a bit of time to actually do it. Or I'll just wait until a big update comes out, 8.0 or something. Thanks for all your help.
[Samsung Gear Sport] fipoly:
I'm loving my new gear sport especially with the look, speed of operation and battery life for a full colour display due thanks to Tizen ecosystem. I have been looking for ages for some way to have an alarm when my heart rate goes over say 150bpm. I would like it to be persistent until my heart rate drops below that level again. I did find an app called heartby which does pretty much just what I want except for when the screen times out and it no longer sends me alarms. I have tried to contact the developer, but haven't had a reply yet. I understand that the watch isn't meant to be relied on for any medical condition and don't have a heart condition but this would really help me out. Does anybody know of an app which I could use or a system setting that might achieve this. At the moment I use the other workout option in samsung health. I Just changed my age to an age which will give me the maximum heart rate I want as the zones can't be manually set up but it isn't persistent.
[Samsung Gear Sport] fipoly:
After a long period of time, researching all over the internet & talking to Samsung, I now finally have an app that gives me a warning when my heart rate goes over a set amount. I can program the notification value, vibration intensity & amount of vibrations using the gear watch without having to be connected to anything else.

"Heart Rate Graphic" by Igor Cherneyshov is well worth installing on your gear watch. It's even free. If you want heart rate notification, install this app. Been looking since December for this basic feature.
[Samsung Gear Sport] Dekay99:
Thx for your answer Fipoly, i am looking for an app measuring low or irregular heart rate, alarming - messaging/calling contacts/assistance....
[Samsung Gear Sport] fipoly:
I use the SOS feature where you press the bottum button x3 with a 5sec countdown. Don't think you'll find an automatic way of doing it. You can user Monitor by appyhapps for low HR but nothing for irregular as the watch isn't accurate enough.

I'm finding HR graphics is chewing up my battery since the tizen 4.0.0.2 update. Hoping for a fix soon.
[Samsung Gear Sport] fipoly:
I need a vibration warning when my heart rate goes over a specified rate. Can you let me know if you find something.
[Samsung Gear Sport] fipoly:
I just found this app and going to try it out. Unfortunately it costs around $1 but don't mind paying for an app that does what we want. I will update this after I've tried it for a while.

HR monitor plus

By Roger van Hout

Unfortunately the app only works while the screen is on with it displayed. It stops monitoring HR when screen is off or app is in background.

Have contacted designers, but no one has emailed me back at this stage
[Samsung Gear Sport] fipoly:
After time, somehow the heart rate graphic app is now working better on my watch. There was no update of the watch or the app but somehow is gone back to the battery usage I used to get. It's a stand alone app on the watch so should and does use less power than others I've tried. I love the customisable amount of vibrations that you get as you know without doubt that your heart rate is too high and will repeat until your heart rate is back to an acceptable value. The only downfall is it doesn't have a minimum heart rate warning but the more I think about it, I realise that I don't really need it myself.

I was able to get a full day out of the watch with the heart rate graphic running. Still don't know why I only got a few hours with the same phone settings and apps running before, so hopefully the problem doesn't come back.

I only bought the watch originally to get a warning when I went tachycardic without having a non watch looking monitor on my wrist or having to wear a chest strap, so was so frustrated until I found heart rate graphic.

Hi all! So I'm pretty familiar with rooting my Galaxy S4 but have recently purchased and upgraded to a Galaxy S7. It's an SM-G930U model and currently set up with my MetroPCS account. I've had some issues finding ROMS that I can use with Odin to root but haven't had much luck. I was able to find stock roms in case something goes awry but no luck with customs. Can someone help me out with a link? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] KillerClaw321:
There are no custom roms since the bootloader is locked so the rooting process is different from what you are used to, so follow this guide:

Nice work :D
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SlyUK:
Dos this work on the 5T also ?
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] guitardedhero:
I have successfully tested both Magisk module and /system installations (Magisk, not SuperSU) on the OnePlus 5 Open Beta 3 during the past seven days or so.

Testing elsewhere has been very minimal and unsuccessful, however, the installation script has continued to improve significantly since the most recent unsuccessful report, and is nearly perfect for the time being.

A successful and compatible installation absolutely hinges upon /system/bin/audioserver (introduced to Android devices with Nougat) of the device. This discovery was made last year when I ported the very first Nougat Dolby Atmos system, which ironically, was from the Axon 7 device as well.

This binary service is crucial to the current Dolby Atmos systems used in Nougat and now Oreo in their native environment. However, this file has completely different dependencies in Oreo than it does in Nougat thanks to the drastic changes to the audio framework in Android 8.0, and still more changes in Android 8.1.

Furthermore, it is not uncommon for /system/bin/audioserver to exist in several forms for a device in the various custom rom's available, so the rom currently installed on the device can play a critical role, although stock firmware seems to always have the better chance, at least for last year's Axon 7 Nougat Dolby Atmos port. For development purposes and efficiency, I only run stock firmware on my device.

When upgrading firmware or changing rom's, pay special attention to /system/bin/audioserver, as any change may allow a successful installation for a device achieving only unsuccessful installations previously. Typically, these unsuccessful installations result with device boot failure due to the media.dolby_memoryservice audioserver overwriting the existing audioserver on the device.

There is no way around this audioserver dependency, but we can certainly learn as much as we can by building a database of device audioservers with two groups:

Successful

Unsuccessful

I was able to determine audioserver compatibility accurately for Nougat, and the same should be possible for Oreo, although using different mechanics, I imagine.

I'll add a link to my Drive where users can upload a successful/unsuccessful audioserver to the relevant folder some time today. :good:
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bormo:
Two questions:

is this independent of the "audio tuner" comming with OOS 5.0.1 or is this a replacement?

Does it work with BT connected headphones?
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] guitardedhero:
Fantastic questions! :highfive:

#1

:

Embarrassingly, I completely forgot to check Audio Tuner (Dirac) while testing headset output for Dolby processing a few days ago.

It will be a day or so before I am able to test your inquiry as I am currently "in the doghouse" with my wife (AKA friend's couch), but I would be very surprised if Audio Tuner was negatively affected in any way by this Dolby Atmos installation.

Dirac is typically quite persistent in informing the user of any conflicts and I know for certain that Dirac has not complained once, at least in my usage this week.

#2

:

Unfortunately, by not possessing a pair of Bluetooth headphones, I have no way of testing your inquiry. However, my audio sessions are almost exclusively Bluetooth output into a Sony SRS-X88 speaker system and I can confirm success. :good:
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MMWolverine:
Hi,

Atmos GUI force closes for me on OOS 5.0.1 with Magisk 15.3. Flashed in codeworkx and blu_spark TWRP recovery. Logs attached.

Previously I was using Ainur Sauron MK II and your Dolby/V4A Oreo ports from the A.R.I.S.E. forum. Everything was working alongside the Dirac Audio Tuner. Of course I uninstalled those mods before flashing this new port.
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] guitardedhero:
Thank you very much for the report and included information! :good:

It seems the sound effect libraries may not be properly configured to allow the apk to function properly.

Would you mind providing the output generated from following the Dumpsys procedure detailed in the Auditing section of the OP?

Thanks again! :good:
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MMWolverine:
Dumpsys attached, hope that helps. ;)
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] guitardedhero:
This absolutely helped and did, indeed, confirm my suspicion of an audio effect configuration issue. :good:

The dumpsys output confirms that a vendor audio effects configuration is sourced, so our next step is to examine any audio effects configurations existing in /system/vendor/etc (anything similar to audio_effects.conf, including audio_effects.xml).

Be sure to also confirm the presence of /system/(lib&lib64)/soundfx/(libswdap.so&libswvlldp.so)

:good:
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MMWolverine:
Ok, libswdap.so & libswvlldp.so are present, I've attached audio_effects.conf file and a screenshot of everything inside system/vendor/etc
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] guitardedhero:
It appears audio_output_policy.conf was "thumbed" instead of audio_effects.conf lol. Thank you for the screenshot, audio_effects.conf is the only file necessary to examine. :good:

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION] You know I had to try this ASAP! I'm on OOS 5.0.1, Flash kernel 2.15.1, Magisk 15.3, codeworkx recovery. [MENTION=5357345]ahrion[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION] 's V4A installed through Magisk Manager, and this mod. It installed flawlessly and I haven't had any crashes like others are reporting. Atmos sound amazing and was sorely missed. I just wish AM3D worked with our device. The only think I noticed is that that notification can't be swiped away nor does it launch the app. No biggie.

Strong work!!! :highfive: :cool:

EDIT: [MENTION=5990180]bormo[/MENTION] - I just verified this works in conjunction with Audio Tuner (Dirac) ...screen added
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] MMWolverine:
Seems the cause of the crashes in my case is Xposed. After I uninstalled it, Dolby is operating well. :good: Would like to have both, though. :D

P.S.

Re-installed Xposed with a cache wipe, no Dolby fc. I'll report if anything changes.

[MENTION=4445176]guitardedhero[/MENTION]

Stuck on the boot animation on my nexus 5x. I'm on latest stock 8.1 AOSP with magisk 15.3. I attached the logcat and it looks like the problem is related to audioserver. It's saying that:

library "libradioservice.so" not found

The lib is not present on my device so is it another dependency from the rom you ported dolby from? Thanks
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] guitardedhero:
Absolutely fantastic reports reports, guys! :highfive:

These initial hours are providing substantial insight and forward progress, much more than I anticipated when deciding to limit visibility to this single device's forum section. :good:

[MENTION=4967345]docnok63[/MENTION], congratulations on the very first successful installation besides me on the non-native device! The confirmation of unrestricted Audio Tuner functionality is crucial for our device, in my opinion, especially if using this section for exposure, so thank you for the quick confirmation. The matter of most importance to me has been compatibility with other third-party effects, specifically ViPER4Android. Are you able to assess this compatibility? Thanks again for the help getting a Dolby Atmos solution to the Oreo users! :good:

[MENTION=4842497]MMWolverine[/MENTION], great job targeting your conflict so quickly! I observed the Xposed mentions in your long but was not going to address it until confirming a successful installation of all Dolby Atmos content and configurations. Having not been an Xposed user for a very long time, can you suggest an effective way to determine an existing Oreo Xposed installation by the presence of content installed to the device belonging to Xposed? Thanks again for such quick reports! :good:

[MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION], what are the odds of three consecutive reports providing crucial and completely different reports of 100% relevant information lol? The libradioservice.so library exists natively on my device and the dependency of it is likely only noticed if unavailable. I have studied every bit of the Dolby Atmos apk and do not recall any mention of it whatsoever, so your report is incredibly valuable to me and possibly will not be the last unless this is a "missing link", doubtful as this would all prove to have been far too easy lol! I am incorporating libradioservice.so into the default installation, overwriting the native libraries if present, until reports warrant testing a custom installation when not already present. Everything is ready to archive, just waiting on an appropriate Xposed detection before wrapping it up. :good:
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] guitardedhero:
I am about to get started replacing a water heater and do not want to keep you waiting. Attached below are the two libraries native to the Dolby Atmos system with additional extensions to be supported by XDA's attachment system. I will not insult your intelligence by instructing the necessary procedure to incorporate them into your existing installation except that these are NOT vendor libraries lol. :good:
[OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zackptg5:
Haha, it's all good :)

So now it's saying that libradio.so library isn't found. You wouldn't happen to have a copy of that with you? I have a feeling this may go on for a while lol

I just installed the Viper4Android FX Materialized module from Magisk. It only takes about five clicks of the volume key and I just selected the latest version of everything when it asks. I then disabled the AudioFX add-on that comes with Resurrection Remix (and possibly other ROMs) as this was taking priority over viper. Then go into the viper app and enable a few things and it works beautifully!

On my Axon 7 I use the Deuteronomy Aroma installer almost exclusively on all ROMs (with SU. I don't do Magisk). In a multiboot environment (DBP) it installs where others have failed.

Suppose I could give it a try here too.
