[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ki11aprime:
Here's my quick review after some hours of playing with the new update.

Cosmetically it's a minor update most notable features to me are in the notification panel, the navigation bar there's a little square that at allow you hide the bar in selected apps.the home launcher also been updated with the new Oreo features,I always change launcher but with using the G7 theme with LG launcher it looks pretty refreshing.

Performance is abit suglish at the start, but that's to be expected since it's a new update and everything needs time to settle in . overall in my experience it's more snappier ( not stock Android snappy, but snappy for LG)

WiFi and Bluetooth has improved on my end, not sure about the camera since I don't really take pictures.

Battery life should improve with enhancements that 8.0 brings.

A bit of a let down is that there are no new features for the second screen I'm not sure what more they could have done but I'm pretty sure the Second screen project have been killed off for the new trends.

Overall 8.0 is an long over due update for a great device that still has some life will it see pie that's still 50/50.

[MENTION=4549185]v.m.quang[/MENTION] This really doesn't belong in this thread since it has nothing to do with the ROM, or how to flash the ROM.

With that said, if you have any further questions after this, you need to open your own thread.

To fix you MAC address:

adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc of=misc.img
exit
adb pull /sdcard/misc.img

Now take your favorite hexeditor and open up the misc.img that you just pulled. Your WiFi MAC addr is at offsets 0x6000 to 0x6005

If you don't know what you MAC used to be, the LG MAC prefix for the MSM8996 is D0:13:FD -- just make up the last three bytes. So, D0:13:FD:01:02:03 will work....

Again, if you have further issues, open your own thread. I will not reply in this thread anymore unless it pertains to this ROM.

EDIT: guess you kinda need to know how to get it back onto your phone:

adb push misc.img /sdcard/misc_mod.img
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
dd if=misc_mod.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc
exit

Reboot your phone and make sure you have a valid MAC now....

Oreo lags a bit especially when goint to system settings it lags alot and once u leave settings , it will take 2. 3 seconds to load home screen icons

Is it happening to my device only..................

I personally think it is magisk causing that lag beacuse SuperSu is snapies than magisk

Same problem was there on nugate then i uninstall magisk completely and installed SuperSu every thing was perfect mean no lags at all

Secondly finger print unlock went too slow for me

Plz can anybody guide me wether m wrong......

Thanks

I updated the twrp for Oreo from Pheonix, I backed up everything from internal storage to the laptop and the left the original data(pics/videos/mp3) copies in the internal storage on purpose. I wanted to see if I can just do a regular dalvic/cache/system wipe and install the Oreo stock update zip and see if it comes out fine with magisk installed too. It works, I dont see a single problem with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4g LTE, calling, texting, no black screens, no bootloop, no bad touch sensitivity, no freezes, no bad lag etc except One thing is of course there's screen rerention without KCAL support, that's normal. All the internal storage data is intact, existing and usable. First thing I did after first boot was opened gallery and everything is still there for me to play with. Im not recommending doing it the way I did.. I do see allot of you guys going through allot of problems... I guess I came out lucky or the full format wipe isn't such a big deal. If any of u do it the way I did without full format wipe.... Dont blame me.. lol your phone messes up thats on you, that's your problem lol. Battery life is actually a bit better then 7.0 stock, I'm surprised. This zip is working 100%

ANDROID FILE HOSTING IS GARBAGE. I H8 H8 H8 HHHH88888 that website for many years. Those of you that have problems with twrp and the Oreo zip, look to see if you downloaded from ANDROID cacaHost, that website screws up tons of downloads and it's a very known thing. If u downloaded from there, its a good chance your downloads didn't download completely although its say "100%", always check for correct hash and data size. I downloaded the recommended twerp from Phoenix and he hosted the trwp file from AndroidCacaHost...... I was like yepp it's gonna download screwed up, I downloaded the twrp and the complete size of it was 3.8mb...lol I redownloaded 4 more times till I got the complete twerp zip with the correct size of 28.3mb... Be careful downloading twrp from AndroidCacaHost, do you really want to install a corrupted twrp?? NO!! You'd be asking for soft bricks and other problems.

Thank God there's a Mega link to download the Oreo zip.... .

Thanks for your work on this. I was on the latest Super V20 and loving it. Flashed Oreo this morning then went through and removed apps that Super V20 removed for me, flashed MK2k and setup KCAL to prevent retention. Running great so far!

I'll stick with this until Super V20reo comes out ;)

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] SithBoxer:
This has already been asked without any answers, but is there anything special those of us who are ARB0 need to do in particular to upgrade to this stock ROM? One thing that is concerning is our recoveries are actually on the recovery partition and not using laf partition/download mode.

For the record, I also despise AndroidFileHost and wish developers and people would start using other sites. Half the reason those checksums are needed is because of that site. Have never had any other file hosting site stall a download on me quite like AFH has. Thanks for the mega mirror though, [MENTION=5580523]dudeawesome[/MENTION].
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] runningnak3d:
No, you don't need to do anything special because you are ARB 0. Now, after the fact, I would suggest either flashing TWRP onto laf as well, or flashing the laf zip from the lafsploit thread because ARB 0 laf probably won't boot with Oreo firmware, and laf isn't flashed with the ROM.

-- Brian
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pentium0:
This doesn't answer the question, but I would just update to a rooted arb1 zip then go from there.

I tried flashing this rom and ended up bricking my phone. It wont turn on at all. I flashed the rom, mk2000 kernel, and magisk. Rebooted back into system and it went to black screen and wont turn on now.

If you did a clean wipe in TWRP and you are still getting lag/battery drain I suspect your phone has an unrelated hardware issue. Maybe your battery is old/defective, or the thermal paste on the CPU is dried up and not transferring heat efficiently so it is throttling it down.

I usually dirty flash all the pre-rooted ROM updates, since I got my V20. This is the first ever I've done a clean wipe and I'm having zero issues with lag.

Anyone else notice any weirdness with /etc/thermal-engine-8996.conf?

Flashed the first phone, noticed it was charging slowly only while screen was on (though it said it was quick charging), looked at the file, and it looks like garbled binary.

I then checked my second phone before and after updating. Good before and garbled after. Md5 of the ROM download checks out. Both are clean installs.

Either way, I copied the fast charge thermal engine file and all is well. Just wondering what else might not be right.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] darkknight200:
On all Oreo v20 variants, they made the thermal engine 8996 all garbled up which could be encrypted.

Now I have changed to the nougat thermal engine 8996 charging mod but didn't notice it did anything close to what charging and using phone back on nougat was like.

So there is something hidden controlling the thermal configuration on Oreo and maybe at the kernel level.

Hello, guys I just wanted to post what I did on two H918's today. I basically did what Killaprime did as far as his install process except, I had forgotten the mk kernel which I did flash once I downloaded it on this device. I wiped both caches. I also went to a current nanoid of a alpha 4.0 rom and just flashed the data and, efs only. It took a few minutes then booted. I had a system ui error that I immediately forced closed. After that,the whole setup and, data was on the device. No need to rebuild. I just thought that maybe this would help someone. I'm still tinkering around a bit right now. So far both devices are good and, up and running.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] vgpclife:
I'm hoping someone can make sure I'm headed in the right direction before I start. I read over all the pages and there's a few details I'm missing.

First, I got the updated Recovery file and the ROM, however there's mention of a kernel I'd need, something about an "MK Oreo Kernel"? I tried searching XDA and nothing stood out as the page for that kernel. Can someone link me please?

Second, I rooted my device almost two years ago and never came back. I think I missed some history because I keep seeing mentions of kernel versions(?) and that you don't want to upgrade to certain ones because you'll loose root and you can't get it back? This is what I'm sitting at:

Baseband: MPSS.TH.2.0.1.c3-00011-M8996FAAAANAZM-1.69323.1.69645.2

Kernel: 3.18.31

Software Version: H9180k

Build: NATF MEgaROM v20 v5.0 TMO

Before taking the steps to upgrade to Oreo, do I need to worry about stepping my phone to something first?

My plan was to:

1) Boot into Recovery, update to newest

2) Wipe phone parts

3) Flash ROM

4) Flash Kernel

5) Flash Magasik

Am I missing anything? Thanks in advanced!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] therealrayzzor:
Here's a link to the oreo kernel you've seen mentioned, it'll be in the oreo folder https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=252381

I had to downgrade from 10u when I first got the phone a few months ago so I don't know exactly which steps you need to take to go from 10k to oreo. Hopefully someone else can help with that, but as far as the steps you posted that's the same thing I did.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] OtVang:
For dirty flashing - there are two ways to do:

The first - do flashing as guide ( fresh flash) then do restore data only via TWRP or restore from LG backup (LG Mobile switch in Oreo) you was done before.

In the second ways (restore form LG backup) almost app working fine so some app you may need to re_login and setting up as first using it.

otherwise you can using titanium backup :)

Well guy's, it's been 24hrs since I started using this rom and, I have to say that I have not experienced any, issues that would prevent me from using this as my daily driver.

I am running rooted Nougat on my H918k, but forgot to run T-Mobile's Device Unlock app before rooting. Can I run stock Oreo just to run the Device Unlock app and then use the rooted Oreo image you posted, or will running stock prevent that? If it would prevent it, should I run a version of stock Nougat instead, just to be able to run the Device Unlock app, before updating to rooted Oreo? Thanks.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Metconnect2000:
I was in the same boat before I flushed this rom. Having rooted on nougat, running the unlock app would just spin in circles, which you have probably noticed by now.

That's why I was so surprised when I upgraded to this rom and found I was able to unlock using the device unlock app.

I can't remember a time where i had an issue with AndroidFileHost.

Everybody's Hardware is different and yields different results.

With the checksum and hash error reporting, i think we should be OK. I always compare exact file sizes when I'm flashing cause I've had a brick or 2 myself. I waited till just a few days ago to root my H918. Patients is def. key. Being safe and never sorry, I'm in total agreement.

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

(thermal-engine-8996.conf) is there such a file in Android 8 (Oreo) or is it under a different name. also, once the stock Rom is flashed how is the performance and also is there a file we can copy to the etc folder or is there even a etc folder so we can modify the temp thresholds, like in Android 7 (Nougat) so no lag is present. Im just getting used to the lag free experience on 7 (Nougat) and would hate lose that all cause i want to update to Oreo.
