[LG V20 Questions & Answers] VelosterM14:
And I guess I have my answer, at least from the general community at large.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jl10101:
All I can offer, is that a dev (jazzk) did something like this for the Galaxy S2. It was called Chameleon ROM. And it was perfect. Perhaps there is something there that can give you an idea of the way forward?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] VelosterM14:
Thanks - it may actually help. I also found some other threads not really specific to LG but with info about the .xml manifests, checking logs to look for missing libraries, etc.

I'll see what I can come up with, it will be really slow because this is my first go at anything like this. But I do have about 20 years of Linux under my belt.

Also it is starting to look like the real problem with my camera on the spare H918 I have may not be LOS 15.1 or any of the various camera apps I've tried, but rather something wrong with the main rear camera sensor itself. Not sure, but about to find that out by taking this one back to stock and seeing if it works better there or not. I need to test some things under pure stock anyway like the Tmobile unlock app, etc.

I have other LG stuff I'd like to try to get working also, not just the stock camera. I'd really like to figure out how to either get involved with 2nd screen work or get more functionality like the native LG second screen software has working -- all the notifications features this 2nd screen has in stock setup are pretty nice. I like that what we have so far on LOS 15.1 is there and I'm sure even that was a lot of hard work, but I'd like to get more things working on that 2nd screen and maybe I can learn enough to help out.

So even if the camera is bad on this spare H918 and I either get the phone replaced by the eBay seller or I replace the camera sensor myself, I will eventually end up looking into all of this anyway. Just may be a long time before I get anywhere.

EDIT: It was the camera on this phone, it is equally bad on stock H91810P ROM with a full factory reset.

Sorry you have not seen the support needed here - you asked some incredibly spot on good questions a while back, and I just saw this post now.

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dadi11:
Reserved

ROM in early development stage, released just for pie preview. needs testing
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MoistPicklez:
Awesome! Thanks for this!

Edit: Is it recommended to be on August or September build?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stompysan:
Sweet! Want to give this a shot, but I am a bit unsure how to flash gapps with it. I searched the other build's forum, and couldn't see on it either. Do I flash build, boot, then flash gapps, like on other A/B devices? Or do I just flash gapps at ROM installation?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Geezerooo:
Is TWRP built in?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jz5678910:
Does this use an EAS kernel?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stompysan:
So I attempted to flash, but I am getting the error stating I am using an incorrect version gapps. States I am running 8.1, not 9. Anyone else have any ideas?

EDIT: I was able to modify the installer sh to force it to install, but every copy of gapps prompts and states there is not enough space in the system partition.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LoveScarGuitar:
Have you tried installing the smallest gapps package? I had this same issue on another device.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] GuestK00177:
Gapps screws up sometimes. Try remounting system and vendor while in twrp, reboot recovery then try flashing gapps again. I bet it works.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:
How are you guys getting touch to work in twrp...are you using the augest build to start?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] GuestK00177:
I just flash the hyp.mbn from August before booting to recovery, then after installing whatever, go back to bootloader and flash the sept hyp.mbn.. just that file is all u need. Just be sure to reflash the current hyp file or any build based on sept wont work and vice versa.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aikons:
flashed the 0930 build, bluetooth is broken.

Display setting - Full screen apps is in there, but i open or close the option, it seems doesn't work.. (i test it in my games

The screen became rounded corners, can this be a option for users? or it can be off by default?

some settings seems are not ready for pie, such as privacy guard, expanded desktop...
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] uodii:
What gapps are you guys using? I can only get MindTheGapps to actually flash with the rom and everything is broken with them. Opengapps doesnt seem to work at all for me. I keep getting error 139...
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aikons:
XenonHD pie 0930 build + open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20181001, works well

install steps:

flash official twrp.img to slot b and enter, in twrp reboot switch to slot a

wipe

flash rom

reboot to bootloader

switch to slot a & flash twrp.img to slot a and enter

flash XenonHD pie 0930 boot.img & gapps

reboot to system
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] uodii:
Where do you get the boot img from for this?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dadi11:
nope

I already removed rounded corners in the upcoming build. Also it's stated in second post that it's early development stage, so don't expect everything to work properly. It's still experimental and we don't even have official lineage sources for mata. So thanks to [MENTION=6760768]KuranKaname[/MENTION] for his work

That full screen apps feature is lineage stuff. I already did what I could to add it on mata. From the comments on gerrit we can read:
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickkane:
Thanks for pushing this out!

Looking forward to Pie!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] markismaximus:
looks awesome. Cant wait for future updates on this :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jonnyswboy:
I get stuck at first boot splash screen. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] markismaximus:
Try gapps on adjacent slot then reboot is what worked for me.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] djtechno98:
Is bluetooth working? For me is a daily tool.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] markismaximus:
It wasnt for me pre october patch, havent tried since. Im not sure if the october update would in any way change that lol. Im gonna give it a go today and see.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] B0bki11er:
Hum... Flash are ok, but no touch when i need to enter my sim pin. any idea ? Button vol up and down working perfectly

Need any firmware ?

- In twrp no problem with touchscreen, not an hardware issue
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LoveScarGuitar:
We're you on the August build of the stock room before you performed and custom room installs?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dadi11:
new build is up, enjoy ;)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spotmark:
Does okay/hey google work now on the Pie Builds?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:
Thanks for keeping the development up on this device!

Will try this ROM at some point.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Screenies?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PITTAR:
how about flashing instructions i dont see nothing about it in the OP
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MoistPicklez:
I would assume, flash ROM and TWRP installer zip, boot up once, go back to TWRP and flash Gapps and if needed Magisk. However I haven't tried, nor do I know which build to be on before flashing.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] markismaximus:
need September'firm for touch again. Still had issues with bluetooth and initial setup. Other then that it looks and feels quick and smooth. Used it for half a day until tunes were needed via Bluetooth ?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Bluetooth not work.

When will you fix it?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dadi11:
I'm not going to fix it. I am rom developer not device maintainer, so I rely on others work if it comes to device trees. Ask lineage maintainer about it.

Sent from Essential Phone
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickkane:
This sounds really demanding/rude.

Just enjoy the only 9.0 ROM that's out for the PH-1 and be patient. It's noted in the first post this is an Alpha release. IMO there shouldn't even be questions or comments about what's not working. :good:

Don't piss off one of the few that are supporting this device.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dadi11:
Actually I've just sold my Essential, so today's build will be the last one from me. Hopefully you'll enjoy it and maybe someone will decide to continue maintaining it :)

Goodbye mata community ;)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:
Aww that sucks. Thank you for all the time you've spent contributing to the Essential community. Wish you all the best on your new device!

Which did you get just out of curiosity?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dadi11:
enjoy. thank you. oneplus 6 ;)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:
Ah nice, hope the notch doesn't put you off xD
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dadi11:
It's not that bad as in Mi 8 or poco etc ;)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:
Agreed.

The best notch is still the Essential Phone haha. ☺️

I think the 6T is gonna have a similar one.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nick80835:
That is total suck, have fun in your future endeavors, maybe I'll maintain this. Probably not, too much school.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickkane:
^^ Agreed.

I'll buy you some RedBull if you do decide to!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nijohnson:
what was the solution for the gapps?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:
Does flashing OpenGapps not work for you?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Android4Lif:
It did not work for me either it just kept frozen.:(

But in overall the rom is so nice and is smooth enough to enjoy our old Xperia SP :=) [Without Gapps of course i think it's just heavy load for our little-old XSP that it can't handle it very well.. :) ]

[Xperia SP Android Development] Lycon70492:
Need some serious help. Installed XenonHD 190210 and for some reason the phone refuses to power off. Also it refuses to boot into twrp recovery. Even tried using adb commands and no luck. Button commands for booting into recovery don't work either (could be I'm doing it wrong).

Any help will be most welcome.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Lycon70492:
Ok some good news. Managed to boot into twrp recovery with the correct button timing. Restored a backup, had to hard reboot to fully boot.

Still, it doesn't explain why it was impossible to boot into recovery and power off.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Kianush:
lol that was a nice answer but is not a way to earn some respect on your work!

even today this phone still has got some great potential!

[Xperia SP Android Development] Godecki:
Hi guys, the ROM is amazing, except the bugs ofc - but that's to be expected :) But I am having problem with Titanium Backup - I can't restore my backup from previous ROM because TB doesn't detect root properly. I am indeed rooted, all other root apps work like a charm. I am rooted with SuperSU. What I've already tried:

- reinstalling TB and BusyBox

- rerooting with various SU versions

Really can't get this to work, every trial yield the same result. Is there any solution to this?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Godecki:
Guys, after updating to the newest build the TB problem is gone, I am finally able to restore my backup and use Xperia SP as my second phone. I'll try to test out as much as possible. Great job, thanks for the work!
[Xperia SP Android Development] Godecki:
I'd like to report another problem. Kernel Adiutor has problems with applying settings on boot, wheather using the regular method or shell script in-built in the app. I don't know if this is ROM specific problem, nonetheless worth mentioning, I suppose. The "Apply on boot" notification just never ends and the settings aren't getting applied.
[Xperia SP Android Development] cipetonk:
try converting kernel adiutor to priviledged app
[Xperia SP Android Development] Godecki:
How can I do this?
[Xperia SP Android Development] cipetonk:
the easiest way is by using this magisk module https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-terminal-app-systemizer-ui-t3585851

remember to convert to /system/priv-app/ instead of /system/app/
[Xperia SP Android Development] Godecki:
Thanks but I am using SuperSU. I can't root my phone with any version of Magisk using Boot Bridge, the only root that doesn't yield errors is SuperSU.

new build with August 2019 ASB (9.0.0_r46) has been pushed
[Xperia SP Android Development] Godecki:
Is it just me or is something wrong with the ROM? On my SP it is extremelly sluggish. It barely turns on the screen while pushing power button, I usally have to wait between 5 to even 30 seconds before the phone reacts and even on locksreen while touching the screen the phone lags so much like it was frozen. It even happens on fresh flash and I of course checked my previous apps for disrupting the performance but didn't really find any issues with those.
