[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
If you mean the LG V35, yes. However, all the Samsungs I listed have root -- at least the Exynos versions do. Not that I am recommending any of the Samsungs over the V30. I'm just pointing out OTHER flagship phones that have more features than OnePlus.

I took most of a year to research what phone would replace my 2014 Moto Quark (Moto Maxx, the international version of the Droid Turbo, which had all the AT&T LTE bands). I

deeply examined every flagship phone coming out in 2017

. V30 wasn't even on my list when I started, because I wasn't enamored of the V line. I wanted LG to make an LG G6, as good as they made the LG G2, and LG G3 before they went off the rails. But LG failed with the 2017 LG G6 by implementing an idiotic regionalized specs scheme -- where no LG G6 would get ALL the listed specs, plus they were using 2016 Snapdragon. The V30 then ended up being what the LG G6 should have been and was the perfect phone for me.

Part of the inherent problem with Original Poster is he seems to only be looking for T-mobile phones and he's buying on contract. I've NEVER bought on contract and the last phones I bought from a carrier were 2010/2011. Since then, I've bought straight from Google, imported from other countries, bought from OEM. I've been on AT&T since 2012 but never have owned an AT&T-branded phone.

The V30 has only been out a year, and right now I don't see anything better out there. I kept my 2014 Moto Quark for three years for the same reason. And there are Droid Turbo (Moto Quark) users in here who can back me up on that. In 2014 it was a beast of a machine (3GB RAM, 1440p OLED, 3900 mAh battery, 21MP camera, Qi wireless charging, etc), and only by 2017 when Snapdragon 835 came along, plus fingerprint sensors, plus IP ratings was there phones "good enough" to replace the Moto Quark (Droid Turbo, Moto Turbo, Moto Maxx).

But I didn't want to lose any hardware features I already had. Headset jack, 1440p OLED, Qi wireless charging, etc. The V30 has all that and more -- including microSD card. Plus of course bootloader unlock and root. Which is why I bought the B&H Photo "open market" that was supposedly guaranteed that, instead of any carrier model that would not. Yes, we now have WTF bootloader unlock and root, but we didn't have that when I bought mine.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ledvedder:
Since I've had my v30, I honestly haven't had any reason to root it. What are you guys obtaining from rooting?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
First and foremost, the philosophy of actual ownership. Same reason you are "admin" of any other computer you buy. Your smartphone is a small handheld computer. A couple of years ago Samsung forced an update to purposely brick one of their flagship phones so people would have to buy another phone model. Only people who had rooted their Galaxy Note 7 phones were able to avoid that. Until you root your phone, the carrier/OEM actually still owns the phone. You are paying several hundred dollars to "rent" it.

Second to extend functionality.

There's sound mods down in the app section by [MENTION=9023361]Whiskeyomega[/MENTION] that will give you High Impedance Mode with any set of earphones, not just those with over 50 ohms impedance. Or will give you stereo dual speaker mode. But requires root.

With TWRP and Magisk, you can flash mods that let you do so much more. But those mods often require root.

Titanium Backup lets you change user apps to system apps or vice versa, besides backup of all apps and data. You can then force restore an older app if newer version is worse.

Yes, I agree stock firmware has improved considerably. In the past I would consistently root my friends' phones and give them custom ROMs. Now, I'm leaving them on stock firmware, and I am on stock firmware myself. But I am on ROOTED stock firmware. I can still use various mods selectively to give more functionality, but primarily it's because I want to own my phone.

If you have no desire to root, then for sure you should look elsewhere than OnePlus. The only retort OnePlus fans have when we point out the deficiencies of OnePlus phones (low res, lack of premium features) is "but they are easily rooted". Yeah, well all the phones I have owned have root too and I didn't have to downgrade my specs to do it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ledvedder:
Wow, it sounds pretty risky to root according to https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?ur...share_tid=3842550&share_fid=3793&share_type=t.

Plus, you have to downgrade. Sounds like more trouble than it's worth.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ledvedder:
Are there any flashable roms available yet?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You have to temporarily downgrade to root, then you can go back to newer firmware. That thread is for the T-mobile variant only. All the other V30/V30+/V30S are easier and are in the

WTF thread.

This forum is not T-mobile only.

You asked, I answered. OEMs are making it harder and harder to root so devs have to find workarounds. In the beginning, it was accepted as normal you could/would root your phones - especially since Android it built on Linux. But Apple forbids it, and then the Android OEMs/carriers followed. They want to control you.

You don't have to do root, if you don't wish.

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

Yes. Look down in the ROMs section.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ldeveraux:
I agree with everything you mention! I have no problems with the V30, I was making a dig at Samsung for always locking down their devices, yet charging iphone prices for them. I'll never buy another Samsung device, that's for sure. I honestly didn't even know the S9 could be rooted. I love my V30

But this thread is a lost cause. OP didn't research anything, and doesn't understand the benefits to rooting. How about removing ads and bloatware for starters?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ledvedder:
I use blockada to remove ads and disabled most of the bloatware I don't use. I've been rooting phones since my Galaxy Note 2. I'm no expert, but I understand the benefits of root.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Due to the increased difficulties in rooting where OEMs/North America carriers want to control you, people have found workarounds for most of that.

For instance, Blokada is a free open source VPN ad blocker. Paid AdGuard does the same.

There are "package disablers " (app disablers) which will disable most bloatware but you have to be very careful not to disable EVERYTHING listed: "Why doesn't ABC (some favorite feature) doesn't work anymore?" Because you disabled XYZ, and it's connected. Sometimes disabling stuff through that method will even CAUSE lag - - because the system looks for it before moving on...

But even if those solutions worked perfectly, it's still not the joy and full total control of root.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ldeveraux:
These are pretty conflicting statements you made. :confused:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
I'm going to give that a big NO. I used that method and gained root. People who don't know how to follow instructions mess up.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Xblackberryuser:
I do agree with you. Reading and comprehension just isn't something everyone is good at. For most people, it's overkill to go through the steps to gain something they do not understand. You can tell people why rooting is so important for certain groups till you're blue in the face. Some folks just need to close the hood and drive.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ledvedder:
No they're not conflicting statements. I've rooted phones in the past to gain benefits that weren't available to the specific phones in their stock forms. With my V30, I don't feel I'm missing something by not being rooted. That's why I asked what you're gaining with root on the V30. No need to be condescending about it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Xblackberryuser:
The one reason I like to root, is the ability to have a super portable device that can be used for pentesting.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Even people who want to root have problems with comprehension. They want to jump ahead, skip steps. Just yesterday in WTF

someone wanted to know what an error meant.

I knew exactly what it was, because I'd seen it before - - I knew they were on post-July Oreo firmware, whereas right at the top of WTF I clearly say you need to be on pre-July Oreo firmware -- and we can get you there. All throughout the instructions I repeat that several times and tell how to temporarily downgrade to earlier firmware.

But I initially replied that error message meant they weren't reading the instructions and they were skipping steps. ;) Because I wanted them go back and read. I"m not going to type out the instructions all over again, just go read the instructions!

But then they kept asking questions, and listing stuff they had done -- so I pointed out they never stated what firmware they were on, which meant they didn't understand the necessity of pre-July Oreo firmware... Which meant they had never REALLY read the WTF instructions. I even quoted the section of WTF where I said "pre-July Oreo firmware -- and we can get you there!"

So, then they reply back, "I'm on August firmware, so I'm out of luck?" (or something like that).

Arghhh! NO. It simply means you are NOT READING THE INSTRUCTIONS! And they weren't even really reading my replies!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
I'm with Chazz. My wife and I have had Droid Turbos since 2014 ($1 each... I miss those days!) I haven't had a real need for root, but I have rooted anyway... as soon as I could. I want to own the phone and update it when the carrier has given up on it. I'm running a modern kernel now (with patches that are up-to-date) versus the potential risk of running what VZ has stopped supporting. Hell, we even had to pay to make root happen... but I did it. Beyond that, I haven't had a "need" to root, and was actually reconsidering it for the V30 (that we are getting for my wife, as I now have a work phone anyway). Since rooting is free today, I figure why not... I probably won't use too much of its capability, but it's nice to know it's there... and the carrier can't brick my phone or leave it vulnerable because they're lazy. That latter thing is the worst part of it all... they love to talk about how they want to keep their network secure and yet they'll drop support for patching a phone in a heartbeat.... security theater.

Hi,

Thanks so much for spoiling us with so many ROMs.

A couple of questions: does this one have a "Sync" tile in the quickbar settings, and does it support the unlimited storage in Google Photos?

Thanks again!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
There is not a sync QS tile at this time. Unlimited original photos does work
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CueSystem:
Thanks for your hard work. I will try the rom tomorrow. Whats the best kernel for this rom? Any differances? At the moment my taimen running stock rom with the elemental x kernel. Greets from berlin.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Flash kernel is included when you flash rom. Flashing elemental shouldn't be a problem if that's what you prefer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] piyush7243:

is there really a functioning ota update system? meaning ill get a notification if there is a new build avaiable?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] piyush7243:
As OP said ,no functional OTA
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Yes you should. It's not incremental OTA, but it does notify you and you can download full zip from notification
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Does it say that? I'll remove and clarify

Edit: just says no incremental OTA, meaning you have to download the full zip. It does not support Delta updates like carbon and omni have supported in previous Android versions
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] piyush7243:
I think so or its too late for me in India
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CueSystem:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] darkoj2007:
[MENTION=6864870]slothdabski[/MENTION] just to say thanks for awesome rom. rock stable maybe lacks some features but without battery draining like havoc and this is first rom when you can turn off all icons on status bar. I hope features in future will grow up like expanded desktop and other stuff but this is my daily driver for now and in the future. I hope it will be regularly updated now ewhen it's official. thanks!!! :)

During clean flash in Taimen, do we wipe cache, data AND system?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] techinv:
That is the same version of the phone app that I'm using now.

Clean flash usually doesn't wipe system, but I haven't had this device very long so would suggest you search this thread.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
Shouldn't need to do any more than a factory reset. Usually just wiping data is good enough
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Not So Pro:
[MENTION=6864870]slothdabski[/MENTION] Did anything change with the ambient display since the Sept/Nov builds? It use to work fine in the dark but now it won't turn true black.

EDIT: So something definitely changed. I just flashed the December build to double check and I have the issue with the ambient display in a dark room but when I flashed the factory November image (using Deuces script) and then flashed the November AEX (after factory reset) I have no issues with the ambient display in a dark room. I wouldn't mind helping test anything. Could it be a new Pixel Ambient Services apk or something different?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] God67:
OK Slothman - first of all thanks for all the work and apologies for the nube question... "flash to both slots" I'm in TWRP and wondering how exactly I do this. If I select install *.img I get "Select Partition to Flash Image" and three partitions I can select - Boot, System Image and Vendor Image... that is where I am stuck. :rolleyes:

Part 2 - if I select, say, "Vendor Image" which my guts says. Is that only for one slot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
When you reboot into twrp the 2nd time you have now switched slots. Flashing the rom zip switches slots, but it doesn't take effect until reboot. So we are flashing the vendor 2 different times to flash it to both slots
