[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] StromKnight:
Just a thanks and a quick recap of my post on the unofficial thread Omar! :)

Long-time lurker and H918 abuser on the 10p Firmware and modem here.

Just wanted to post on here and give my sincerest thanks to x86cpu, Omar-Avelar and all the devs responsible for breathing new life into my V20! :)

I haven't been this excited to use it since I first got the dang piece of lazily coded korean garbage back in 2016.

Reminds me of my Note 4 days, man that thing has also had a long ass run.

I've tried so many ROMs, kernels, zips and hacks.

Lost count of how many times I debloated, rebloated, went stock, went AOSP, flashed and unflash magisk.

Good Lord, If I knew performance could EVER have been this good in an AOSP like rom and if it weren't

for the removable battery, I probably should have gone with a Pixel or something.

Definitely feels faster since I replaced the battery before flashing, definitely recommend you guys consider replacing it if you've used it for a year or so and it's starting to die at like 15-30%.

Running it since the 05/12 build, on the 05/16 build now. Currently using the EAS Gamma Kernal as well, not sure if that comes with problems of it's own.

Will test accordingly with the unofficial kernel at some point.

Performance is amazing! This thing zips through all my apps and notifications like a champ.

On the LG UI (Bleh) it used to bog down so fast and get super slow.

Got like 120-ish apps running on the thing, no problem!

Powers my High Impedance Headphones, Not as loud as Stock LG :(

IR Remote function, using the "Peel" remote app off the play store

"Cast"ing to my Xbox One and other "Cast"able devices

What Doesn't

Speakerphone, and the Mic in general. Not as "Clear" as Stock.

Callers say I keep breaking up?

Wifi Calling wasn't that great a feature anyway but, I feel like the dialer or calling services on Stock were more normal sounding-ish?

Maybe I'll try that Magisk Low Mic Fix module some time...:rolleyes:

Bluetooth clarity is pretty good for the most part.

5GHZ Wifi Tethering

Voice activating Google Assistant using "OK Google"

General Battery Drain concerns, still prefer LOS to stock.

Probably forgot some other stuff but super happy with all the improvements and hard work by the XDA community.

(Protip, update the ROM, optional kernel, GAPPs same options as before, AND then magisk. Had to redo it all when I killed Google Play by just flashing the ROM and Kernel, boy what a mistake that was! note: Using Google Dialer and some more google apps than nano.)
