I did a hard reset with my XDA ORBIT 2 about 30 minutes ago.. I left the SIM card and memory card in. No problems here, all works fine.

Concerning encryption on the memory card, you either need to (before you hard reset) backup all the files from your memory card to something else (e.g. a computer) or turn off encryption.

If you turn on encryption then the memory card will only be readable on the PDA you turned the encryption on to. If you hard reset that PDA then your PDA 'forgets' that memory card's encryption technique and the files will appear corrupt.

So basically as long as you use your memory card on the pda you turned encryption on ONLY and you don't hard reset the PDA, then its fine.

If you need to change the PDA or hard reset it, you will need to backup/turn off encryption on your memory card before doing so.
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
Don't worry about the SIM card's data... but if you want to be 100% sure, take it out before the HR...
[Touch Cruise General] prank1:
BTW just for the record, XDA ORBIT 2's don't come with a hardcopy manual; instead it is saved on the CD that comes with it.

If you lose the CD, it can be accquired from the O2 website -

http://www.my-xda.com/pdf/user_manual/Full_user_Manual_Xda_Orbit_2.pdf

If you try to backup all your contacts to the SIM before the hard reset, I would take extra precaution; some SIM cards vary in size and if you try copying your contacts to it sometimes they do not all get saved. This happened to me and I only got about 11 contacts on my SIM. I recommed the program PIM Backup be used before the hard reset. If anyone likes I can provide a link to download it.
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
OP said TC, not Oribt 2... and yes, I know about it.

This is exactly the reason why I don't bother saving contacts to the SIM. All my contacts are synced whith several PCs.
[Touch Cruise General] VoyagerBG:
Everything is fine, guys. Now must do some tweaks and registry optimization.

10x a lot for your help.
[Touch Cruise General] prank1:
np.. but on a final note could I recommend SKtools - it has a section on optimising ur device.

also if you turn off the large start menu bar you will find the device is a lot faster - credit goes to te person that posted that
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JonnyTrulove:
I wanted to start an informal thread here where anyone could discuss various little mods and tweaks that any of us might be playing around with on our V30s.

I'm not talking major things like flashing a rom or rooting or anything like that. We already have super talented people that helped to make all those things possible and there are 100+ page threads about some of them. (Big thanks to all of you serious developers!)

Consider this a discussion thread for the "Tinkerers" though more experienced actual development is of course welcomed.

Personally I am always playing around with my device just to see what I can get it to do, or access or change etc. I use apps like Preference Manager, and Shortcut Master to play around and discover the "hidden" stuff that you aren't supposed to get to, or at least not yet. Sometimes this gives me a sneak peak at some beta feature or adds a setting I didn't have, or a UI tweak etc.

I figure that a bunch of you probably do the same things and thought it would be cool to have a thread just to share those little one off things we discover that wouldn't normally warrant a whole post of it's own.

Maybe you want to share what substratum build is working well for you.

Or maybe you found a magisk module that wasn't built for the LG V30 but works great (Dialer and contacts for the one plus worked great on my device)

I'll kick us off with one little tweak I never see posts about.

Using Shortcut Master I have changed some of the LG Home App settings in order to have a modded home launcher. Basically I'm using some of the features LG chooses to keep hidden. Some pics of the menu are below. Minor changes but I've had the Google screen to the left of my home screen for a while now and I don't have to use Nova or something else to get it to work.

I've never really seen a post on what all of these check boxes do, so I've played around with all of them and can report that most are minor, and some will ruin your day, so Tinkerers beware if you decide to emulate.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JonnyTrulove:
Here's another example of the kind of stuff I mean. Does anyone actually know what High Lux Mode does? I've enabled and disabled and don't really notice a difference.

Maybe a thread like this will help shed a little light on something we can all use.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
That's probably because those screenshots are from older versions of Android. Or he has some theme applied.

It looks like the screenshots where it's been talked about in other threads, especially the Shortcut Master Lite.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] hitokage004:
You can still download a copy of Shortcut Master (Lite) 1.2.4 from APKMirror. It disappeared from the Play Store about a month ago - I'm not sure of the reason.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
Not positive and can't test for it because I don't yet have a V30, but I would guess this toggles the phone's ability to use fullbright/sunlight/etc mode.

Brightness is usually capped below 100% to increase panel longevity; this limit is bypassed with high enough light levels hitting the light sensor next to the call speaker. Last I heard you need VERY bright light with the V30, and the high threshold makes it flicker on and off a lot; this could give some people bothered by it a bit of relief.

Swap Torpedo (Magisk Module): It flushes your stupid stupid compressed ZRAM/Swap. All of your apps will load faster and smoother.

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-swap-torpedo-run-faster-reliably-t3766883

Reasoning: You don't need freaking swap on a phone with 2 GB or more. V30 has 4 GB RAM. Never run into any issues with this. Flash and forget.

fstrim (Magisk module): trims your phone when it has been idle for more than 5 minutes.

https://github.com/GreyLeshy/magisk-module-fstrim/releases

Reasoning: Right now your phone only trims when it has been idle for hours and is charging which is almost never. You will notice the difference. Things will write faster to storage. Read and write speeds are faster in general. It's a very simple script that you don't need to check for updates. Flash and forget.

RAM Manager (Magisk Module): Reduces app refreshing significantly.

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/ram-manager-magisk-t3816986

Reasoning: V30 has very aggressive memory management which works for most people but gives trouble for heavy multitasking. This is fixing the issue. Everything stays in memory until it's absolutely out of memory. Then it starts kicking things out. Flash and forget. Note: If you want to use this with Swap Torpedo you must install Swap Torpedo first, then RAM Manager.

None of these tweaks consume battery, in fact they save you battery. I used to tweak my previous phones a lot but after many tests I've realized that the V30 is incredibly optimized. No need for L Speed or Kernel Adiutor or any of that nonsense. Storage, CPU, GPU and battery performance are super optimized on this device. It even puts some flagship phones with SD 845 CPUs to shame. LG devs did an incredible job and pulling out ALL of the stops to make it run smooth. Read ahead is already at 4096 kb, no need to tweak! Storage is mounted relatime so it won't waste write and read. All partitions are already aligned perfectly. LG dedicated some space for overprovisioning so nothing to tweak there either. On a good day my UFS 2.1 storage read speed is more than 740 MB/s and write up to 300 MB/s. More than my SSDs in my computer. Incredible work by LG. Battery life is tweaked to the maximum as well and so is GPU driver performance. Do not touch those things especially build.prop. Every other tweak I have tried has introduced some issue somewhere else. This is a phone that you leave alone and be happy that the devs optimized it so well :D LG has people smarter than us working on these and who fully understand how the device works. The era of complex kernel tweaks and scripts is officially over.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
Thanks for the tips on the other 2 but I just wanted to chime in on swap torpedo or getting rid of the swap on the V30. Doing this made a pretty big difference on my V20 but I noticed on my TMobile V30 that it actually was making me reload certain apps quite frequently. Now I didn't do very much testing with it but I noticed that when I got rid of swap if I had one of my more intensive 3D games running and I switched over to the camera or vice versa I would have to reload the app that was switched from. With stock swap settings I could switch back to the previous app (game or camera whichever) and it would still be open and ready.

Now take this with a grain of salt obviously because there are too many variables but I'm sharing my experience and so far mine has been better with stock swap settings on the H932 at least.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
For those who don't frequent the Q&A section, [MENTION=7586971]rollingstone321[/MENTION] figured out how to force quick-charging while the screen is on;

As bolded, setting it to LCD OFF and making it read-only might make the phone slow-charge while the screen is off. Having something (Tasker, AutomateIt, etc) set it each time the screen is turned on is a better solution if you want all QC, all the time, since it'll reset itself on screen-off.

If someone wants to go digging in LG's kernel source to see what the valid parameters are, figure out the proper setting to just disable the limiter and set it to read-only, that'd of course be best.

I went digging myself using Lunar kernel, and it seems this is read and limit set based on it, not the condition under which the restriction is imposed as I first thought.

---

Keep in mind that fast-charging alone creates quite some heat, and doing it while running the SoC under load will increase the rate that your battery ages. It's hard to say how much, since there are so many contributing factors to battery wear, but one thing is true regardless: li-ion batteries don't particularly like heat. Charge responsibly!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emu:
No I can confirm what you are saying. There is more reloading because LG optimized the V30 so perfectly. You really don't need the tweaks tbh. But that is why I use Swap Torpedo in conjunction with RAM Manager. I would even argue there is not enough of a benefit that people would notice anyway but for me things like Nova Launcher run slightly smoother. It might even just be placebo and there is no tangible difference. Either way V30 is so well optimized out of the box, I personally believe it's a waste of time and resources to use tweaks even if I use them. :good:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Isn't this actually bad though? You don't want fstrim triggering 24/7? I know on an SSD that counts as writes and you only get a certain amount until you kill the lifespan.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
RAM Torpedo is actually good. Just look for yourself. Screenshot of before and after.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Ok using torpedo swap, it's actually horrible for multitasking. I'll have only 1 app open, ( line chat) open chrome for a link, copy and go back to line chat and it wants to reload.

Total crap. Never had an issue till this mod. It's also the only mod I've ran.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emu:
I tested without Swap Torpedo as well and uninstalled it. My V30 runs way better without Swap Torpedo. I was just on my way to post an update here to not use it anymore.

Regarding fstrim: That is a common misconception. fstrim does not delete or move any files. It just gives the storage a list of what sectors can be overwritten without worry so it doesn't have to write around them. As always the benefits are marginal. LG V30 is already super well optimized.

Please everyone uninstall Swap Torpedo. It does not do your V30 any favors and it will have to refresh apps constantly.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergykm:
what about ram management by crok? Is it useful?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
From what I've gather it is supposed to make the system not kill background apps so much. I'm running it right now but I haven't used it enough to really test it out yet.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
I'm not an expert on fstrim but I know that it is supposed to help prolong solid state stuff. Question someone who might know though. If it is so beneficial why does Google (or whomever) only have it run very rarely? Is there a downside to running it so frequently? Just curious.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emu:
Because Google is behind the curve on everything.

So your phone must be plugged into a charger or almost full and be idle for more than 1 hour. The reality is our phones are no longer idle for more than 1 hour and a lot of us no longer plug in our phones overnight because we still have so much battery left. So it is running, but in my opinion it's not running when we need the performance boost the most. But we are power users who use SD Maid, flash new ROMs, we move more files around more frequently than most people.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLS123:
I don't think you need to run fstrim manually ever. Look in fstab, it already has discard set for the internal storage. So it trims on deletion. You are wasting your time and probably doing more harm than good IMO. The fstrim that you say the OS rarely runs by itself should be totally fine.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
If you guys really want the phone to be less aggressive about killing background stuff, just lower the minfree limits. Easy enough to get Kernel Adiutor, lower the limits by 10-20% and test, see if that helps.

Trying to use swap or similar mechanisms is probably just going to cause more memory and filesystem thrashing than needed. The only time it's really worth it is if you have an excessively low-memory device and you want to run a memory-hogging app, but you need to keep other things ~technically~ running in the background.

This is how I ran Pokemon Go on my now-ancient 1gb RAM Droid 4 despite it's fairly high system overheads :v
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emu:
Interesting! Thank you. Do you know if it also runs discard for the rest of data and system?

There are many voices that say you shouldn't mount as discard for SSD and that it's not as reliable.

Can we disable Qlens with this method, without disabling AICam? Qlens is garbage and I'll never use it.

It has it for cache and data which I think is enough. /system doesn't really get modified at all, unless you do it yourself.

Anyway, fstrim can be run from twrp every once in a while if you really change a lot of stuff on /system.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emu:
I agree. There's really no point in using an fstrim script when data and cache are mounted as discard. Thank you!

I purchased the Sprint variant of the Essential Phone and that allowed me to flash the non Sprint version, and get updates directly from Essential, so that answer is all BS.

I hope he is wrong too but this coming from a OnePlus rep does have some weight. We will know in 40 days.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] coolmaster121:
By the way, when I boot my phone it still says Sprint variant and all, but the software is not based on what Sprint is using on the Essential phone. SO the phone does not get magically changed, the software however is able to be switched over.

I guess its just a waiting game.
