Some of us see so many different versions out there and aren't sure which one to use.

I find my official 6.0 adequate, I'm not even sure what I'd look for in a 6.1.

I'd also want it to be completely stable.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
It would be nice if Orange would release a 6.0 for the Hermes before all the other carriers got a 6.1 out. In fairness, 6.0 only came out about A THOUSAND YEARS AGO so it's not like they've had much time to get it out yet.

Idle beggars. I'm more likely to see a unicorn than Hermes 6.1 from Orange.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tjlabais:
we always get crappy official releases because of the bureaucratic process of releasing OS - they have standards to follow in order to maintain quality :rolleyes:. On the other hand, if it weren't for these official releases, we wouldn't have a base ROM to cook on.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nicknowsky:
I agree 6.0 is FINE, and I dunno if I goto these cooked 6.1 ROMS that dont have the official 6.1 release will I be able to go backward back to 6.0??

ex. I flash Schaps 4.40, dont work good with me, can I flash bach to his 4.31 lite(6.0)????????/

[General Questions and Answers] Erkhyan:
Hey all,

I bought a LG V10 on my country’s gray market last week and realized too late that it was a H968 model, i.e. made for the Chinese market and without any Google service installed. Since returning the device is not an option, I’m stuck trying to get it to work.

It was initially on firmware H96810b-CMT-CN (Android 5.1.1, build number LMY47V, security patch level October 2015) but I managed to download and flash H96810d-CMT-CN (Android 5.1.1, build number LMY47V, security patch level January 2016) which seems to be the latest version available anywhere. I don’t dare flash another V10 model’s firmware due to being afraid of an unrecoverable hard brick.

I’ve also tried to unlock the bootloader, but so far no dice. I’ve already ticked the correct boxes in the Developer options, but adb reboot bootloader only reboots the phone normally, and the volume down+power method starts in factory reset mode instead. As a result, I think anything requiring a custom recovery or root is outside my reach. Custom ROMs for H968 don’t seem to exist either.

Anyway, I managed to sideload many of the Google APKs onto the phone in an attempt to get Google services working:

Backup Transport 5.1

Account Manager 5.1 *

Contacts Sync 5.1

Calendar Sync 5.1

Google Services Framework 4.4.4 **

Google Services 12.6.88

Google Play 10.3.12 ***

I’ve marked the problem packages with stars.

* Account Manager 5.0 or 5.1 don’t display any message errors but fail to load the login page while trying to enter a Google account. I bypassed that by downgrading to 4.4.4, creating the account, then upgrading the package back to 5.1. That seems to work.

** GSF 5.0 and 5.1 cause endless “Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.” messages that cause the phone to be unusable until I uninstall GSF. GSF 4.4.4 is the most recent version of GSF that works without any error, which is weird for a 5.1.1 device.

*** Maybe linked to the previous error, but while most common Google apps (Search, Drive, GBoard, Keep, Calendar, Tasks) seem to work and sync fine under the current setup, I can’t log into the Play Store at all. I only get the infamous “Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]”. Clearing caches and data doesn’t work, the error even happens on a fresh install after a factory reset. I’ve tried versions of Play Store as old as 8.7, 7.9 and even 5.5 but they all show that error. Unfortunately this means that most of my paid apps can’t be downloaded on this phone, or can’t check that I’ve already used in-app purchases to unlock paid features.

Any pointers would be welcome for how I could solve those issues.
[General Questions and Answers] Erkhyan:
Update: still no change except to notice that push notifications work randomly. FB lite and Telegram notifications work, Twitter/Discord/Hangouts notifications don’t. Google Services crash regularly, but not to the point of rendering the phone unusable.

I’ve been able to install apps using Yalp, but any app requiring access to the billing/in-app purchase service is unable to do so.

Hi guys, I wanted to try Resurrection Remix by following all the steps of this tuto : https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-resurrection-remix-os-6-0-0-t3747039

I didn't like it so I went back to stock OOS, but then when I start it for the first time, it's impossible to go through the firsts steps. After "Copy apps and data" page (with choices : "Copy your data" and "Set up as new"), it just don't go to the next step and coming back to the page where it ask me what I want to do (whatever I choose).

The rom I downloaded is the official from the OnePlus website. I flashed it with stock recovery with ADB Sideload. I flashed it before and it worked perfectly.

The tuto made me download an Open Beta, could it be the problem ?

Thanks for your help ;)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ZeroTheSavior:
You need to keep using open beta or downgrade the firmware

EDIT AGAIN

"Notice: Please kindly be noted that the development of TSF Launcher 3D Shell has been suspended. Users who have been using the app will be directed to the page of the updated version of CM Launcher theme after upgrading the app. Please install the upgraded version of CM Launcher to continue enjoying the desktop launcher feature. Huge amount of pretty themes are readily available. Fetch them and download for FREE!"

How on earth did they uninstall it ?

**EDIT** - Not sure the launcher can be bought now.

Not sure I have missed something here but all on it's own, TSF Launcher has been uninstalled and a search on playstore now shows a paid version.

So I googled TSF Launcher and found the original playstore link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tsf.shell&hl=en_GB

So sent it to myself on my phone and installed it. Ran it and now instead of it normally starting up, I get a carbon black theme installer.

Don't know what's going on but tsf launcher was the best for me.

Are they allowed to remotely uninstall ?
[Android General] codQuore:
#2 so I followed the link to install the carbon black theme and low and behold that requires a different launcher. There is a review on the launcher mentioning TSF Launcher and not in a good way.
[Android General] Shayt.1979:
Same thing happened to me, it was my favorite launcher and now it's gone, wtf, why would they do that? I wantit back
[Android General] CONTACTMC:
Same thing just happened to me.... how the **** can they uninstall an app from my phone?! I think i paid something stupid like £15 for it when it was first released.

This is not on at all.

Please report both this theme that TSF SHELL has become and CM LAUNCHER to Google....this cannot be within their rules.
[Android General] Rican Bx Bomba:
This is beyond upsetting. Where can we report this? Did someone back up the apk before ****tah mobile took over?

I used the note widget for loads of important info, all bloody lost because if this, work passwords, safety critical stuff for my job that I don't use very often but need in event if emergency etc....I am so pissed right now!
[Android General] CONTACTMC:
Edit: looks like they have put it back on the playstore!

Did they really think they would get away with such an underhand move?!
[Android General] codQuore:
That was a shocking thing to happen. I haven't tested the download/install now that it's back but I am fully pissed off that an app can be abused like that. I read about one guy using an app to store info that comes with it, all the info he had in there, gone. He isn't happy at all.
[Android General] Wilsonb:
What a load of crap... Ya, I really enjoyed TSF Launcher and it seemed to be great ideas and technology.. Then they disappear.

The widgets wern't carried over to use in CM launcher.

CM Launcher , I can't get it to work in landscape mode. Seriously? That's a no-go. Maybe im missing something..

Next Launcher was my choice of launcher, but that to seemed to have been bought out by Go Launcher.. They are greedy money hongers.. I paid for Go Launcher also and many complaints from everyone about the bloat ware and Malware they push with their products. NOW they are asking for a 10/month subscription fee/// Don't know what stuff they been smoking.

So still trying to find a good visual Launcher replacement that is updated/supported.

TSF Launcher is back on the Play Store...

I've used the Next Launcher 3D Shell (Paid) for quite a long time (must have been a few years +/-) and I've noticed that it was Pulled from the Play Store at some point in time.

I do hope that it's temporary and it might be but, the developer is the same as the (HORRIBLE) GO Launcher and I'm praying that this wasn't meant in an attempt to try and shove the Next Launcher users to go with the GO Launcher. This wouldn't work for me since the GO Launcher is horrible in comparison. I'll give it some time before considering any alternatives.

In my opinion, the next best thing to the Next Launcher is actually the TSF Launcher. I've tried it out on one of my other devices and it's actually pretty comparable to the Next Launcher.

Only time will tell... I already posted a message to the Next Launcher folks in their Google Plus and their Facebook pages. Who knows.

[Android General] Wilsonb:
Agree, TFS launcher was amazing development. But seems there has been some type of launcher war / monopoly going on.. Buy outs and turning them to "bloat ware /malware and push crap down your thought" like Go launcher.. Been using Next launcher for years because unfortunately TSF, stopped development. Noe Next Launcher is outdated.
[Android General] Ibuprophen:
I definitely understand you...

The TSF Launcher was put back in the Play Store and was just updated around 6 +/- months ago

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tsf.shell

The Next Launcher was actually updated appropriately the same time the TSF Launcher was...

I'm still using the Next Launcher 3D and, i still plan on using it unless/until there are/is some type of issue that begins to surface with it that forces me to think about changing Launchers.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Rain​

​

This is Rain, an LG Home+ theme for your LG G7 running Android 9. This theme is a premium quality theme like no other Home theme+. What you see is what you get and that is quality and attention to details! Rain is a dark theme with some bright gradient accents throughout. The Dark Notifications compliment the ui and battery life! The app icons have a slight gradient to them, with some more noticeable than others. This theme does not support adaptive icons as some of the key features of this theme are blocked by enabling the adaptive icons. If you'd prefer adaptive you will need to use a third party launcher like Hyperion or Nova.

No need to run a third party theme system any more, just use the system theme chooser and you can enjoy all the benefits of an advanced theme system.

To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select Rain, and push apply! then reboot and then reapply the theme again. It's a bit more in depth than other themes but given the complexity of this premium theme it is required for all elements to be themed properly.

That's it! Simple, easy and quick.

This theme is also meant to run at the highest resolution, with the lowest stock setting for the actual display size. Larger sizes may cause some elements to look slightly off. If this happens please lower the display sizes of the iconography.

Also for the power menu to be themed you have to reboot and reapply the theme. Sometimes you may have to reapply it more than once. This is something with LG's software and not within my control.

If you run into any issues please send me an email directly instead of leaving a poor rating. Often I am very quick to reply and great to solve any issues. The review system is not meant to be a support channel!

Thank you so much for your support and I hope you enjoy this theme. I've worked extremely hard on this and by far it was the most challenging and time consuming project I've ever made!

Now for the stuff people actually care about.... Screenshots!!!

Pixel Experience

[youtube]0HKdKodxli8[/youtube]​

​

This is the Pixel Experience. For those who want to enjoy a lighter theme with minimal, subtle changes that want to be able to set it and forget it without having to worry about constant Google app updates and be able to enjoy the Pixel look. This is for you and you're gonna love it! Like Alpha this theme will be updated regularly and will continue to grow as time goes by. Enjoy the clean and refreshing look and experience the Pixel!!! #WhiteUiMustLive

Now you probably didn't bother to read that crap above so let's just post some screenshots shall we?

Pixel Experience (Legacy Theme)

So since not everyone digs using substratum I decided that Pixel Experience should be a regular (Or as I call them "Legacy" LG Theme). No computers, no additional apps in order to use it... You can just set it and forget it! You will get all the features from the Substratum version and then some.

Here's a pic of how this theme looks!

Pixel Experience Dark​

Welcome to the dark side. This is Pixel Experience Dark! Including dark notifications! I'm really proud of this and how it turned out! Please take the time to read the app description as there is some important information in there for your benefit which will help you get the best experience out of this theme! Also in the description are optional patches which are theme specific!

So go get it and please drop me a quick rating and if you'd also be so kind to give this a quick share too that would be great!

Screenshots!!!

Since this theme pushes the boundaries of the LG Theme system it retains adaptive and dynamic icons on stock launcher. Due to this you will have to select your navbar color in settings, display, home touch buttons. By default it may show you have selected the dark option, but the navbar may still be white. Simply select the white and then select the dar one again and you should be set. It's a bit odd but that's just how it has to work. Unfortunately there is one app that does not show the navbar as being dark which is the LG Music app. it demands to stay white due to this. I realize some people may not like this so I've also made another patch for users who want it to match. This however will kill the adaptive and dynamic icons so decide which option you prefer because unfortunately due to system limitations you simply cannot have both. Like the previous patch just install it, reapply the theme and reboot. If you use a third party launcher this patch should most definitely be used. link to patch:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tDOIM4dKssw3oOMm6clEBROlGEoOgGt3/view?usp=sharing

I've also included a patch for Light notifications because some people mention that they're having difficulties with some apps like whatsapp or telegram where the user name is black on a dark background or that they have a light shadow around said text to make it somewhat readable. If you wish you can install the patch and the entire theme will remain as is but the notifications will be light and you won't have any issues at all.

How to install the patch: First update the theme to the latest version. Then download the following apks (link below). Next change to stock theme. Then install the apk patches. Then after you've installed them apply Pixel Experience Dark. Next reboot and you'll be all set. If you experience some force closes that is because you didn't revert to stock theme and installed the patches while using Pixel Experience Dark

G Theme 3​

Click me for Video Promo​

t's back!!! This is G Theme 3. Why G Theme you ask? Well I think you can figure that out when you use it what it's all about. This theme is a premium quality theme like no other Home theme+. What you see is what you get and that is quality and attention to details! G Theme 3 is a dark theme with beautiful colors and designs throughout it. The Dark Notifications compliment the ui and battery life! This theme supports adaptive icons and I recommended choosing circle which is unlocked as a feature and can be accessed from going into the settings application and then going into display, home and choose the icon shape. Due to this the music app does have a light overlay at the bottom which is a bug that LG should address!!! For real LG fix that will ya.

Now this is the important part. This theme is only for LG devices running UX 7, Android 9.0 pie. If you are running a different LG UX or android version this will not work and if you upgrade from the above this theme may not work properly. It is presented on an "as is basis". I do my best to try and update to allow for the theme to function on all devices as best I can and as soon as I can. However due to LG's interesting update cycle sometimes one device may update prior to others.

To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select G Theme 3, and push apply! then reboot and then reapply the theme again. It's a bit more in depth than other themes but given the complexity of this premium theme it is required for all elements to be themed properly.

That's it! Simple, easy and quick.

The theme comes with a coral wallpaper but if you'd like to have it animated simply grab this add on and set it as a live wallpaper and you'll be all set. Since most Lg Devices don't support seamless wallpapers just download this and install it and set as your live wall and enjoy!

Live Wallpaper right Here!!!​

Please note that refunds will not be given for installations on non LG G7, V35 UX 7 (running Pie) Devices. As the title of the theme clearly indicates which device this is for and this app description does specify which OS version is supported..

This theme is also meant to run at the highest resolution, with the lowest stock setting for the actual display size. Larger sizes may cause some elements to look slightly off. If this happens please lower the display sizes of the iconography.

If you run into any issues please send me an email directly instead of leaving a poor rating. Often I am very quick to reply and great to solve any issues. The review system is not meant to be a support channel!

Thank you so much for your support and I hope you enjoy this theme. I've worked extremely hard on this and by far it was the most challenging and time consuming project I've ever made!

[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Looks like you need to sort out a few things still. That doesn't quite look right. Check the lg system resources option and settings overlays. Your icons are a bit off in settings. They should be centered

I have a feeling that when you get lg system resources that your 3 dot menu and search icon might have readability issues if you select the same accent color as the theme color. I'll check this too. If so I'll add it to a list and correct it. Normally the first version when adding a new device we find a few surprises so I'll probably wait a day or so and explore as well as get feedback from people here and then see what I can do.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] co.ag.2005:
Thanks. I didn't notice. I'll check out a few things on my end tomorrow when I have the chance.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikestony:
I will add then when I followed this instruction (in the play store description)

it didn't quite "take" for me, so I enabled from the "Manager" tab, and all was right with the world. :)

fwiw, I also read through your instructions posted here too before doing anything:

[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] AhsanU:
Glad to see some mods coming along for the G7! I do have a question though: is it possible to change the statusbar icons to AOSP icons with your mod? I absolutely despise the fugly icons that Samsung/LG/every single OEM except for Google use on their devices. I also would love the option to be able to see p.m/a.m after the time on the statusbar too.

Sorry if the question sounds silly, I'm just not sure what you can do without root/unlocked bootloader on Android phones. Thank you!

Either way, thank you for your contributions :)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:

Sold! I've been able to get the nav bar and the status icon to stock Pixel and am loving it! Just need to figure out how to reverse the settings since it seems a bit buggy. Don't really need a "dark" theme but I'm sure some people do.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Yeah when a music player is on it doesn't seem to cooperate. Idk why yet. It might just be that way. I haven't found a definitive answer yet. Navbar is themed too. Both themes are 100% identical. The only difference is you can't choose a different navbar icon. You get the pixel ones. But Google Play is included and so is Gboard
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jascolli:
Hey Mark,

I purchased the Pixel Experience theme for the G7 yesterday and really love it. Nice work!

I notice one small thing that's really no big deal, but I figured I'd mention it in case it's something that can be tweaked in your next update.

I run Adguard, and the persistent notification that allows me to pause the service does not have the rounded corners.

Again, no biggie and I'm really enjoying the theme.

Thanks
