Repetitive question. ;) Already been asked, and no.

Even on other V30, while you can create the DTS buttons they don't actually do anything. DTS 3D STEREO mod only works on US998 until the devs finish porting to other V30 or LG releases for other V30.

To my knowledge, LG has not put this audio feature in older flagship phones.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Some LG v20 has Dolby. I enabled it on mine but it's missing the stuff to make it work.

Just like with this mod for the v30.

There is hope that it will be fully enabled come the pie update. The lg k30 on tmobile launched with nougat and no dts but with the oreo update it got fully functional dts.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
As long as LG adds it to the framework, as they are doing variant by variant, we can enable it with root.

Mine is fully functional on US998. It's also on other variants now, too. Just not all.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kansasboy001:
Hopefully they just fully enable it without root as root on h932 is sketchy
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, hopefully LG does that.

Just to clarify, I think you mean obtaining root on H932 is "difficult", compared to the other V30 variants which can use the WTF method? ;) Anything done by [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] isn't sketchy.

No. It's for rooted stock firmware which has the DTS framework added by LG. Not all variants have it yet, and no AOSP/Lineage ROM has it.

Confirmed that it works with VS996 20i and my Bluetooth speakers. I have a pair of OontZ speakers that can be paired with each other so one is left channel and the other is right channel.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Just to clarify... you not only see the DTS Sound settings interface (which was possible even without the DTS libs), but you clearly HEAR the differencee when you change from Wide, to Front, and Side-to-Side? Yes or no? Just let us know, please

[MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] has not confirmed yet the H930 Open EU 21W has the necessary libs. He had checked the earlier recent TIM and Poland H930 updates, but not this one. This mod in this thread WILL add the Settings interface no matter what, but won't actually produce DTS 3D stereo without the libs (framework) being present.

So, just curious if you are talking about the interface or you really hear the DTS sound? If you don't, it's OK -- just let us know.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dizzyrul3z:
Exacly. I edited build prob and i hear the difference. Side-to-Side is great In 21o this not working. DTS was aviable but after switching it, I didn't hear any difference. I thought it would be the same here but I was positively surprised

I don't think "quad dac" works on custom aosp roms. At least I can't get it to work.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
The Quad DAC can work on custom AOSP ROMs (sometimes needs specific media player apps, sometimes doesn't), but not this new LG DTS 3D stereo. DTS 3D Stereo needs extra libs only found in newer stock firmware.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] 4tune:
It works beautifully on H930 EU :) Next question is when to use it. I applied it on my small but favourite set of music test songs and I don't think it adds that much.

1 Sting - Englishman in New York. Cleanly produced and mastered song (album). Side to Side adds, wide and front don't, dampens to much detail.

2 Mary J Blidge - Just Fine. Good combi of vocals and detailed sound effects. Like it as it is, plz no tinkering.

3 Underworld - Two Months Off. This is a good one to try things on. Side to Side is a big distortion, but adds to the experience. Once again the other two don't add.

4 Nero - Me and You. This one is for bass testing. Here DTS 3D is an addition, although an acquired taste.

I don't watch much video on my V30, but that is probably the target group.

Hi, still trying to dl a latest rom to test this (its stopped 3 times already).

Does editing the build.prop fail safetynet?

I have magisk and my bank app is happy with hide enabled. Would I need a module for this change?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No, it shouldn't, as all the [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] TWRP flashable zips already have build prop edited to include this, and no one has complained. Also [MENTION=5377398]TotallyAnxious[/MENTION] Magisk module edits Build Prop to include this (but you need correct firmware for it to work).

There's been no complaints with either, as far as Build Prop edits.

Just instal on h930 21w and I don't hear any difference, nothing.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Then either you don't have H930 Open EU 21W or you did something wrong?

Show us your firmware version, show us the build prop lines, show us the DTS audio settings.

Did you reboot?

If you have the firmware with the DTS libs and you enable this, the difference is very clear -- especially switching perspectives.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gazzacbr:
Finally managed to d/l the 20w TWRP zip update "H93021w_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0121.kdz"

The extra line was not in the build.prop but I added it and the DTS menu appeared :good:

Had a bit of hassle reinstalling Magisk but good news is that the build.prop edit did not affect safetynet and my banking app is still happy :) (which just proves I still dont understand what breaks safetynet :( )

DTS stereo, hmm. Have given it several tests and turned it off again.

Front setting is ok and gives a slightly all around sound but after listening for a few mins I turn it off and prefer the HiFi Quad DAC only. The wide setting mixed the chanels and frequencies so I lost some separation and the Side to Side just mushed everything together.

I have tested with a reasonable mix of music, trance, classical, baroque, trance but still prefer it without the DTS.

just my 2c.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Hmmm.... I love it myself.

I use it with headphones and thus have Quad DAC + DTS. I know the DTS also affects Bluetooth (unlike the Quad DAC), but I don't have Bluetooth headphones.

Wide - Big auditorium. Wider separation.

Front -- the musicians are in front of me on the stage. I'm sitting just a few rows back in the audience.

Side to side -- the musicians are surrounding me.

For my SoundMagic E80C earbuds, the Side to Side is very intense sometimes... but it's the mode I seem to prefer for most of the songs. Yes, there ARE times Front is better, and a very few times Wide is better. Again, this is with earbuds, not Bluetooth.

However, turning DTS off and then turning it back on (especially with Side to Side), I prefer it on.

For the Equalizer I keep it on Vocal.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
If you have firmware with the libs and you turn on DTS, especially with with Front and then Side to Side, and you say you don't hear any difference whatsoever... there's something wrong with your phone. ;)

It sounds like you don't have the libs. That's what H930 people heard (no difference) when they tried to enable this with older firmware when US998 first got this before everyone else.

Now Hong Kong H930DS 21W and H930 Open EU 21W finally has it, as does H932 and VS996 latest.

I know you show 21W, but I'm mystified why you claim to hear no difference.

Quad DAC is separate from DTS.

DTS 3D stereo is only available in recent Oreo firmware for some models (not all yet) and can only be enabled with Build Prop edits.

It's obvious for unknown reasons your phone doesn't have the necessary libs. You should have it, if you have H930 Open EU 21W, but you don't.

Yes, we can disagree about whether you like it or not. ;) When I wrote my reply above, I did try turning off DTS for a few seconds, and decided no I want to keep this on. :D On some songs, I can see where Front is better but most I like with Side to Side. Wide has the "least" effect for most songs.

What we can't disagree about is where you hear anything or not, like the guy above. ;) Something is wrong with his phone if he doesn't hear any difference at all with DTS 3D Stereo. It's like he didn't really install H930 Open Eu 21W with the necessary libs -- even though his phone shows that firmware installed. Very strange.

It doesnt look like LG Bridge has been updated with 20s for the H932. So I will have to wait a bit before I can see if it gets DTS working. As of now, I have 20r with the modified build.prop and nothing changed. I still only have Hi-Fi Quad DAC
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
It works for me on my Bluetooth transmitting to my car stereo. When I switch from Front to Side, I can hear difference on my car stereo speakers. Others have also reported Bluetooth usage.

So, not sure why you are not hearing it? Or do you mean just through the phone playing to the bottom speaker?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Artmuzz:
I am really enjoying the DTS-X Surround function on my rooted LG V30. My favourite preset is Side to Side which enhances the sub bass and gives the music a better overall soundstage. It also sounds good through my Sennheiser HD1 Momentum headphones.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
After thinking about it a couple of days, [MENTION=9374982]weakNPCdotCom[/MENTION], here's why I'm confused by your report. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying....

But the build prop edit should have visibly changed the Sound section GUI of the Settings, no matter what.

I'm fairly certain [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] reported the recent H932 20R KDZ has the necessary DTS libs (framework), but even if it doesn't -- I may be wrong -- the build prop edits should STILL put a new "DTS 3D" section in the Settings/Sound settings. Now without libs, yes you would NOT have actual DTS 3D Surround sound -- but you would have the GUI nevertheless.

That's what a lot of H930 and H93DS users complained about BEFORE the recent updates which gave them the DTS libs. They could SEE the settings after the build prop edits but couldn't HEAR any difference.

So, are you saying:

1) the build prop edits are not creating the DTS GUI in the Sound section?

OR are you saying that

2) after enabling the DTS button in the GUI with build prop edits, you are not hearing any difference? :confused:

Which scenario is it?

At this point, I'm assuming #1... Please tell me if that's not correct.

IF you are not SEEING any DTS section in Sound, any DTS button after the build prop edit, can you show me a screenshot of your build prop settings?

ro.lge.globaleffect.dts=true (with no spaces)

See bottom of attached screenshot for example.

Also could your H9032 debloated TWRP-flashable zip possibly have removed something necessary when the GUI is created with the build prop edits?

(I'm assuming you are running the debloated version of your H932 TWRP-flashable zip.)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] weakNPCdotCom:
It could be possible the debloat might have affected this, but nothing was removed that would make me believe thats the issue.

It might be worth looking into on my part.

But to clarify, after the build prop edit nothing changed in my GUI or Audio
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andi32790:
I can confirm this works with the debloated version of 932 20R
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
[MENTION=2903167]Andi32790[/MENTION], by "works" on debloated H932 20R, you see both the Settings addition and you HEAR difference?

I assume you do see the new DTS 3D Stereo surround sound settings, but please confirm hearing it also. ;)

______

[MENTION=9374982]weakNPCdotCom[/MENTION], see above...

So seems nothing in the H932 20R debloated version is preventing the build prop edit addition of the DTS 3D section in Settings. Therefore, must be something going on with your phone specifically? Other mods you have, etc.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andi32790:
Yes I have all the settings even a QS tile for it and there is an unmistakable difference in sound.

Also I have only tested this thru auxiliary.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Also thank [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION]. He was instrumental in helping us with this.

He's also now enabled DTS 3D Surround sound in all the recent TWRP-flashable zips he builds, so the only people who need this guide are really the ones who use the other TWRP-flashable zips (I don't know if all those have the DTS enabled) -- OR have updated via KDZ.

I'm not sure if he includes the DTS Equalizer -- which is linked in post #1 -- but he does the Build Prop edits for the DTS itself.

Except for maybe the Canada H933, I think all the V30/V30+/V30S variants now have the "hidden" DTS framework in recent KDZ releases. Just needs root to enable:

* using the build prop edits in this guide. ;)

* Or using relevant [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] TWRP-flashable zip + Magisk.

* Or using

@totallyanxious module

(which also has camera improvements and a lot of other stuff). However, that module is only compatible with North American variants.

I've tried this on LG v20 :)

Dts:x option appeared but there is no audio change when i made it active. Is possible to make this mode on V20 workable? I'm on stock oreo 8.0 by the way. Can you share with me that dts libs file of v30? Maybe i should put it my audio library..?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No. LG has to put the DTS libs into the stock firmware.

Apparently LG has not not put in the DTS 3D Surround libs yet for the V20.

If you read through the thread, even V30 variants heard no difference until their firmware was updated from LG. That's why all the edits at top of post #1.

Will LG ever put it in the V20? I don't know.. But you can always buy a V30/V30+/V30S. ;)

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Well, you ARE in the LG V30 forum. ;) You should look around a bit, make yourself comfortable.

My wife and I kept our 2014 Moto Quarks (variants were called Droid Turbo, Moto Turbo, Moto Maxx) for 3 years. Had 1440p OLED, Qi wireless charging, 64GB internal memory (in 2014!), 3900 mAh battery, etc. I had the "international" version of the Verizon Droid Turbo called the Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo which had all the AT&T LTE bands and more HSPA bands. Designed by Google when they still owned Motorola, the Moto Quark (series code name) was basically a smaller (more reasonable size) version of the Moto Nexus 6 which was released at the same time. It was easily the best phone of 2014... Loved it.

Finally in late 2017, I found the LG V30 which had all the specs I needed for a worthy replacement for the Moto Quark. I even had a

long-running thread detailing my search.

I have 10 friends/ family members who now have V30/V30+ based on my recommendation.

LG V30/V30+/V30S

1440P OLED (537 ppi)

Qi wireless charging

3.5mm headset jack

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
We do. You just need root. ;)

LG G6 and V20 also getting Pie and I haven't heard they have DTS libs.

I know you mean DTS enabled in stock without root, and that was probably the plan. But they either changed the plan, delayed the plan, may enable at some point as an "update" once on Pie. I can't explain some things LG does. For now I'm thankful we have the DTS framework, and since root is easy, then we have DTS. ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Also make sure you are updated to latest stock firmware. You actually need the DTS framework (included since early 2019) for the interface to work. Otherwise you won't hear any difference on Bluetooth devices or wired earbuds/headset.
