[G4 General] sdembiske:
H812 with AOSCP N installed

Just some considerations on installing the H811 or H812 AOSCP N rom (downloaded from the link in the OP) on the H812.

H812 AOSCP Home Page: [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][N][UsU]CypherOS 4.2 [H812]

H815/H811

AOSCP N/O Home Page

First and foremost

: IF you are on a rooted stock Lollipop (LP) kdz now, flash a completely stock (i.e., not rooted) LP kdz, preferably for your specific Canadian carrier, with LGUP-NEW, then (

important

) upgrade to Marshmallow (MM) with LG Bridge. YOU WILL ENCOUNTER ISSUES IF YOU DON'T!

Then (

important

), do, at a minimum, a partial backup of your stock MM with SALT. You never know when you might need it ...

Once you're back to stock MM,

as a precaution

, get your phone carrier/sim unlocked. As of Dec 1, 2017, Canadian carriers are not allowed by law to charge for this service. It should be done as a matter of course, IMO, when installing any custom roms. There is no excuse for not doing it ... then, proceed to unlock your H812 bootloader.

Additional precaution

: Remove your lock screen password, pin etc. to avoid issues on reinstating them after flashing a custom rom. Should be done as a matter of course, IMO. You can reinstate it immediately after flashing your custom rom. If you forget, refer to # 15 in the FAQ's in the OP in the UsU bootloader unlock thread.

If you're installing for the first time, refer to steadfasterX's thread: [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][N][UsU]CypherOS 4.2 [H812] under Installation.

- IF, you've already installed the rom and are having problems, I strongly recommend you do a clean flash in TWRP, i.e., wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik, followed by (

important

) Format Data > flash the rom > flash Gapps >

Note:

from version aoscp_h812_usu-4.2-20180412 and on, this next step is no longer required as the kernel is now built-in - [flash the H812 AOSCP Nougat USU patched kernel (https://xdaforums.com/g4/development/kernel-usu-patched-kernel-versions-t3763679)] > (

still required

) if you previously flashed the UsU baseband file, flash the Marshmallow (MM) modem.bin file from your Salt backup or the modem image file extracted from the appropriate MM kdz. Then read through the rest of this post, all of it. IF you UsU'ed directly from Lollipop you may have problems if you don't upgrade to the MM modem ... but if you have issues with the MM modem you will have to flash your LP modem. If issues still persist after trying that: refer to FAQ 20b) in the OP in the [UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU thread.

Note

: DO NOT restore any apps with Titanium Backup and Restore. You will have likely have issues. Re-install them from Play Store or install the apk with adb. You can restore your Titanium backed up app

data

, just not the app itself.

I am really enjoying this rom! Note though, if you have a love of stock LG apps, forget-about-it - this is not the rom for you. There are no LG apps whatsoever. If you love them that much try the stock N rom linked in the OP (I haven't yet, but may give it a try at some point) or don't unlock and remain stuck forever on your rooted Lollipop or un-rooted Marshmallow, unless LG wakes-up. The installed camera is fine* for my purposes but not for shutter bugs. Most other LG apps you can find suitable replacements for, IMO.

Addendum

: Correction ... For those experiencing issues with their video recording with their current camera apps (I was) on H811 AOSCP N, Open Camera is working, so far OK ... reference post # 450 ...

*

Addendum 2

: My new go-to Camera/Video app(s) are Camera FV5 Lite and Cinema FV5 Lite (free on Play Store). Much better quality/performance, IMO with no problems at all with video recording. I recommend them for this rom. Reference post # 527

Video play in YouTube in 1080p 60fps lags/freezes and has buffering issues with longer plays. Some devices seem to have more problems than others on 1080p etc.. It is also dependent on the quality of the video recording in the first place and the length of the video with respect to buffering issues that account for the lags and freezes.

Note

: Oreo 8.1 higher resolution (up to 1080p 60fps) Video Play workarounds for You Tube videos, etc. refer to posts # 1773 (by steadfasterX -

read very carefully & make sure you understand it

) and 1264.

Double tap to wake up and to sleep the screen is no longer available due to acting buggy and excessive battery drain.

Recent New Issue

:

- Some of us have experienced of late the phone screen going black when answering a call and the dial pad not working with the phone app indicating it's closing after a number is dialed and call is connected, etc.

* - Thanks mainly to one contributor to the LineageOS Gerrit review site who checked into this for me, the issue arises as a result of building the rom

without

the Jack server enabled

My workaround has been to adb install the following apk linked here: Google Phone 19.0.195491003 (arm64-v8a) (nodpi) (Android 7.0+) Note: First freeze the system phone before adb installing the apk and a couple of things have to be done then with respect to the app permissions in the newly installed phone app itself permissions (contacts and call history have to be allowed) and then in Settings > Apps & notifications > Phone - scroll down and

allow

Display over other apps and Modify system settings, then scroll back up to > Permissions - click on and turn on all of them listed there. Lastly, set the Phone app setting to the one that doesn't have (system) written underneath it, so that it indicates phone - yes for the apk installed version.

Seems to have resolved the issue for me so far - bonus for me is that when google updates the adb installed app, the updated version also has a Dark theme setting in the app.

That said, everything works (with the exception of being able to encrypt) with the H811/H812 AOSCP Nougat rom. I haven't experienced any real operational issues at all so far and performance seems just excellent.

Addendum

: For a little more thorough exploration/testing, refer to post # 383 and 405 by vsTerminus.

Addendum

: Did start to experience forced closes on the Google GBoard keyboard (perhaps from a conflicting app) but installation of Swiftkey keyboard has worked flawlessly. I simply froze GBoard after I installed Swiftkey (frankly, I prefer it now). The GBoard issue may be related to the latest update, but cleaning cache, data, incorporating the update into the System apps or re-installing didn't seem to help.

Some considerations

:

Root Solutions:

- Download Magisk* (latest stable version) from here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 and flash it in TWRP.

- Download [I]SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip[/I] and flash it in TWRP. You can download it from here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703 - choose the TWRP / FlashFire installable ZIP

*

Note

: Magisk users - Refer to post # 641 - there may be some potential problems with earlier Magisk versions installed but later versions have not seemed to present any real issues.

There are no Google apps installed: Download open_gapps-arm64-7.1-stock-20180311.zip and flash in TWRP: You can get it here: http://opengapps.org/ - the one I referenced is the full-meal-deal (includes them all) - my feeling is you can uninstall any you don't want but you can choose any of the downloads you want. e.g., the mini, nano, etc., if it's available.

You can install Xposed: Download from here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

Consider an alternate launcher. I went with Apex as I'm familiar with it, like the customization I can do and simply prefer it over for example, the Nova launcher. Matter of personal preference. As noted above, disable the double-tap feature so it doesn't interfere with the AOSCP double-tap functions if they're activated.

Bonus: Security patch level is Apr. 05 2018 as of the AOSCP April 21, '18 release (

Note

: security patches are no longer being updated currently).

Extra considerations

:

- Save wear and tear on your device hardware - No button presses needed to boot TWRP or Fastboot quickly & directly: Refer to post # 368

- Extend your Nougat daily use battery life: Refer to post # 464
