[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] WaxysDargle:
with substratum and andromeda i was able to theme the whole system black, including notifications. theming not an issue.

no camera will be as good as google's software allows the pixel to be. if you want the best camera, stick with pixel. everything else is second, including samsung and apple.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] jeffwyeh:
Another option if you don't want to use Substratum and Andromeda and are willing to pay a couple bucks: there is a thread with apps by NNG (I think?) that uses the LG theme engine that has a pretty good dark material/Pixel theme. I'm too lazy right now to use Andromeda (I know, I know...) but may go back and give it a shot if I get tired of the LG theme.

One more data point: the camera is still much, MUCH faster than my Nexus 6P was near the end of its life, so it's been a huge step up for me. Something that I did notice and have seen mentioned a couple times elsewhere is that certain photo modes take a little more time to save the picture. I've lost 2 food pictures this way when I closed the camera to quickly after using food mode and snapping a picture. Make sure you give it some time! I haven't noticed this when using the auto mode though (have not tired with AI cam or other modes).
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
Ok your pros list is spot on with this phone speaker and dac are phenomenal, I'll try to clear up the cons no OLED does suck but it's honestly not that bad. it's a really good display and gets bright as hell, the camera is pretty good (I do some photography in my spare time but to broke to get a real camera) probably not as good as a pixel but it holds it own I'd say give it some time it will probably get a Gcam port (hopefully) battery has been great I haven't had any problems. The skinned OS, LG UX isn't the best but it's not that bad and after throwing on a launcher on it I haven't had a problem. I hope I was able to give some insight if you have any questions feel free to PM me
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Alcolawl:
I appreciate all of the feedback I've received so far. I might pull the trigger on this phone next week. Project Fi is now offering a $300 service credit when purchasing and activating this phone from them. This makes it very hard to wait for the Pixel 3 lol.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Nubwy:
Had a pixel 2. It somehow ended up with the OS corrupted, and it was all stock. Last google device I'll ever buy. Went with a G7 nd have not looked back.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Alcolawl:
Glad to hear. I haven't had a non-Pixel or Nexus device in a long time. Ordered the G7 yesterday so I'm hoping I'm as happy as you all are with this device.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] joeminati:
Former Pixel\Nexus guy here. With Bloaty LG stuff, some are able to disable, some are not like Contacts, Messaging, Calendar, Clock. I just put the Pixel 3 Rootless Launcher and works just well. This version of G7 actually lets you select which LG stuff you want from the phone setup process.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Ghengis042:
Sorry for the thread necro, but does anybody have a writeup about disabling the stock apps? I'm coming from using the Google versions of most stuff, and would be happy to ignore the LG stuff and keep using the Google ones -- but not so happy if I have to pick the right identically-named icon every time, and maybe get double notifications, "which app should I open this with" prompts, etc etc. I'd just as soon uninstall / disable them completely.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] dami00976:
There's a thread about package disabler pro (lg)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Ghengis042:
I found one thread, with "it work I am using it" and not much else. Last night, I think I managed to "disable" the built-in calendar just by turning off its permission for calendar access -- it might keep its own local calendar data but as long as I'm not using it, I don't think it's going to bother me. Same with their mail client. I was also able to totally delete the preinstalled Facebook and Instagram (eww). Their Contacts, Calendar, and Clock apps seem fine (and actually pretty similar to stock) so I'll probably just keep using them. I'm on the fence about keeping the stock launcher, but I don't need a special lock-down / uninstall procedure to do that.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
If you're interested in this phone just wait for the G8, it still has a skinned OS but you could always install pixel launcher and it would have an app drawer, battery is pretty big I think 3,500 mah, camera won't be as good as the newest pixel but with a gcam port you should be able to pull off some really good shots. The G8 has an OLED screen

After updating to Magisk 5.8.0 the other day, my face unlock is greyed out. I do have it hidden in the Magisk menu. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
Try going into Magisk Manager > Magisk Hide and check "Face Unlock" > Reboot
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jrocka312:
Thanks, unfortunately I have already exhausted that option...still not working :(
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
How about, uncheck > reboot > check, again > reboot. In another words, toggle it.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jrocka312:
Tried that too.... is there a way to revert back to a previous Magisk version of the app?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
Yes, via TWRP, which we don't have right now. Or re-root with Magisk 16.0.

If it's just the app and you want to go back to the previous version, why not just uninstall 5.8.0 and install 5.7.0?

I think I know better than you whether I have a relocked or unlocked bootloader.

No, I was saying not sure...referring as to what to do...not questioning if you were actually unlocked. Sorry for the miscommunication.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
It's not the Manager. It's Magisk itself, v 16.6, which is beta. So be warned, turn of Beta updates or ignore the prompt to Update. I leave it on Stable releases so I don't accidentally accept any betas.

You managed to get Magisk on your phone, so just repeat what you did. Just my 2cents...

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jrocka312:
Has anyone found a solution....cannot get face unlock back. Under trusted agents it is greyed out as well. No trusted face in smart lock...so frustrated. Cannot figure this out.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
The only fix so far is using magisk hide on face unlock. The proem is, that even then some people can't get it working. I'm running magisk 16.6 and it works just fine
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jrocka312:
Thanks....i have tried everything....its something stupid maybe not even related to magisk at this point. I just can't find what it is. I had removed security, cleared credentials, just can't get it. Thanks for the reply.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
Any luck with a resolution? I ask because after a Google update, I lost my Face Unlock. When I went into settings to register, it was grayed out, too. So I went into Magisk Unhide, deselect and reselect Face Unlock, NO Reboot, went back into Settings and "Register Face Data" was available, again.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jrocka312:
I have not had any success. Have tried every way, unable to get face unlock to be available nor is trusted face showing in smart lock.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] parlayed:
I had the exact same issues, where I tried both versions (official & betas) of Magisk and could never get Face Unlock to be available.

After I could not find a solution, I RUU'ed back to stock (relocked my bootloader) so I could use Face Unlock until the issue can be sorted.

It doesn't make sense how it works for some and not others.

I have US Unlocked Hardware V3
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Jm@n:
Did you guys with face unlock settings still grayed out after magisk hide try clearing data for face unlock apk?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jrocka312:
Yes...tried clearing data as well.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Jm@n:
Ok just putting it out there. I haven't seen it suggested. My settings were grayed out twice, even after hiding in magisk and as soon as I cleared data for face unlock apk they were no longer grayed out.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jrocka312:
Just wanted to being this back up and see if anyone else was experiencing this issue and / or found a solution.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
Just want to chime in...

I lost Face Unlock after upgrading to 1.21.617.3 and Magisk-ing. Now, I'm frustrated like the people in this thread...:crying::crying::crying:
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I am now in the same boat. Had face unlock working and now it's not. I was thinking about removing Magisk completely and reinstalling it. That involves flashing the stock boot image and then removing the Magisk file. I will be working on this and report back if I have any success.

I think I have the stock boot image backed up as a nandroid but forgot to label it so I am not sure it is the correct one. I need to slow it down a tad and read more before tinkering too much with this bad boy lol. Everything is different with the new A/B slots.

My Nandroid files for boot.img looks like this "boot.emmc.win" for the first file at 64mb and "boot.emmc.win.sha2" at 80 bytes. If anyone can say if this looks right for stock boot I would appreciate it.

***EDIT I am just gonna run the RUU and start over and make proper backups.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I ran this executable RUU US version and it fixed my Magisk Hide face unlock issue. Something must have been screwed up tinkering with things. All is good now, on the latest update of Magisk Manager.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
The 1.21 RUU wasn't available when I finally gave in and RUU-ed 1.15. I even used the Magisk UNinstaller and re-Magisk, still no Face Unlock. I'm now holding out for the 1.25 OTA and will RUU 1.21 for the upgrade.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Actually, I think I know exactly what screwed up face unlock for me, it was trying to install Xposed. I removed Xposed properly but it is the culprit for me.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] parlayed:
My Face Unlock also didn't work (greyed out) after installing the latest 1.21 build & Magisk -> hide, but when I cleared data on Face Unlock it started working
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
Gave up on Xposed since the HTC 10. Breaks too much stuff.

Tried that, still no joy...
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Yeah it does. I was just stating that I tried everything and the only thing that worked was the ruu. Something is broken with or without xposed
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
So I decided to RUU 1.21 and see if I can get Face Unlock working. Idiot that I am, I forgot that I need to register A FACE, first, so I only noticed the STILL greyed out ON/OFF toggle. I was soooooo pissed, because I went through the whole hassle, and I'm still in the process of restore data from Titanium Backup. Anyway, I still couldn't believe it, so I went into the settings, again, and this time noticed the "Register Your Face" button and now it's WORKING!!!

TL/DR: RUU if you want Face Unlock back...
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
UPDATE:

AAaaaaand, I've lost Face Unlock, again! Installed a few Magisk Modules - CloudflareDNS4 + 6, YouTube Vanced + Enable Doze GSM - and I lost Face Unlock because of it. Uninstalled Magisk and Face Unlock never came back. If I had to guess, it would be the Doze Module. Well, when I'm up to it again, I'll re-RUU and omit Doze, and see if my hunch is correct. Anyway, hope my post will help someone going forward...
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Yeah it seems it's very finnicky with some mods breaking stuff. I'm still good with face unlock using only Magisk with no modules, Cleanslate kernel, LeeDroids Shortcutter app and Substratum theming. Good luck buddy.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jrocka312:
I had no Magisk modules running and did not have access to face unlock. Just so weird there is no continuity with how this is occurring.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
I should've left Magisk empty...

So I Wiped with TWRP and started from scratch, again. All good until I added the remaining three Modules - BROKE.FACE.UNLOCK!!!! AAAAFGGGGGHHHHH! Naturally, decided to disable the Modules, still broken. Uninstall Magisk, STILL BROKEN... You sure were right when you said "finicky," LibertyM. Not going to WIPE, again, and wait til 1.25, where have I heard that before...

Can you tell what your setup is? Any other tweaks or mods besides Magisk?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jrocka312:
The only option I could see that I have enabled was systemless hosts for AdAway.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I had no issues with face unlock until I installed systemless xposed. Maybe run the RUU and start over using the Block It app for ad blocking instead. Block it seems to be working better for me than adaway anyway. Google "latest Block it apk" and you will find it easy.

This is incredibly annoying that we can't figure this out. it just seems there is no way to replicate settings to diagnose as it is random whether it works or not.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] k_l_o:
Tell my about it... I used Titanium Backup to re-store the oldest Face Unlock backup I had and it worked til I needed to reboot. I noticed Face Unlocked was broken, again, and I restored, again. Didn't fix it the second time... Just bizarre...
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
This may fix the issue, using titanium backup wipe data and reboot. It fixed force closing of face unlock for me. But I think if you are using Magisk, it is important to uninstall Magisk properly before updating it.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jrocka312:
Working still?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Yes hopefully it works for others
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] gsm0607455890:
does not work for me

with the magisk modules unchecked

magick hyde checked

no installed xposed

all data of playstore wipe

and the face-unlock wipe cache in T.B
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Wipe data for face unlock in titanium backup, disable viper module, reboot, set up face unlock then enable viper module and reboot.

Face unlock is very finnicky, we lose it by flashing stuff but this seems to be an easy fix. It's not just from the Viper ROM.

Also, I had to reboot twice after reflashing the Viper module

---------- Post added at 03:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

Also I think we are not updating Magisk properly. That is very important.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jrocka312:
Thanks for trying to figure out a fix...does not work.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Well I am able to keep face unlock working. I lose it from time to time. But I figure out how to get it working again.

As I said, it is finnicky. So if you plan on toying with your U12+ plan on losing face unlock. The main fix is updating Magisk properly I can I bet most people are not doing so.

In your situation, it may be best to RUU and start updating Magisk properly.

Cause my fix does work.

i'm 17.1- Unofficial & 5.9.1-unofficial otherwise I can not have safety net
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I am the same, 17.1 and face unlock works fine. Just have to keep up with it. Anytime we fool with our phones it messes with face unlock. Maybe make a backup of face unlock in TiBu when it is working.

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] JEANRIVERA:
face unlock works fine on VenomROM ViperU12+ magisk module you just have to make sure it is working before installing the module and magisk hide faceunlock on the list if it is working you don't need to go inside its settings with the module it will just FC (force close) and stop working, easy just don't go inside FaceUnlock settings
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Yes face unlock does work fine as long as you know how to flash and update Magisk properly. If you're having issues still the best thing to do is to RUU and start over by reading instructions and learning how to update Magisk properly. Just flashing it or using the uninstall zip and flashing it can cause issues. The old Magisk needs to be removed properly and the stock boot.img must be restored properly before updating Magisk.

If you've followed my post on this subject, you'll know that I've been having a helluva time getting Face Unlock to work.

I've done everything that everyone suggested, still won't come back without starting from scratch/RUU...
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] JEANRIVERA:
go to titanium backup search for faceunlock clear app data disable Magisk ROM Module (just Disable) not uninstall it, reboot set face unlock, test if it is working, re-activate module reboot enjoy if you are using other modules then I don't know what could be the issue I have like 3 modules and none of them interferes with the faceunlock

What's the proper method to install Magisk and what's the proper method to update Magisk?

For me, I was getting the greyed out face unlock until I started installing and updating Magisk properly. If Magisk is not removed properly and the stock boot.img isn't restored properly before updating, we get the greyed out face unlock.

But that is just me. I was getting it often but not anymore whatsoever.

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] mammothjojo88:
I figured something out. When you unlock your bootloader face unlock is still useable. The screenshot I attached is face unlock working with an unlocked bootloader. It's only after you flash Magisk that it does not work. I think something get broken during the patching process. If it helps I also flashed cleanslate kernel after Magisk to avoid the touchcreen death issue. :)
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
That's all it takes is once. Until you uninstall it correctly or RUU. If it isn't uninstalled correctly it remains corrupt.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Freak07:
So what you want to say is, to get faceunlock working your phone needs to be unrooted properly?
