[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Donavonn:
Thank you for that detailed response, I appreciate it! I have a couple of questions. Could I wipe my system and everything and just have the gsi? Is it faster? I don't use much apps and that's why I wanna use it but is the performance good? What's the benefits of using this rom? Pros and cons?
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
Regarding wiping the system. Only AOSP and Lineage are able to work that way. You can wipe the system or not with those. Either way will work. These are the only ones I know of that are built like this though. For all other GSI's, flash them over top the system.

For the most part, Phh's AOSP & Lineage are faster than stock. The only thing I've noticed is, the recents app screen is a little choppy pulling up the windows. Setting the animation scale in dev options to x0.5 pretty much fixes it. I recommend taking the stock Moto launcher with you to Lineage or AOSP. It just works better than theirs. (Less lag.) If I made a bug report for those running on the G6 play, it'd go like this.

Lineage: Camera doesn't work. -think that's it. Open camera should work though.

AOSP: Everything works.

My personal opinion regarding both of those, is that they will be %100 better than stock, they're just not quite there yet. Stock is still a bit smoother. That being said, I still think you should give it a shot. I like to give them a run every time there's a new build just to see where they're at, and every time I'm impressed. Lineage is definitely more feature rich, and probably my preferred GSI. AOSP is very bare bones. Lineage is like bones with some muscle.

Special Note: On any GSI you need to fix the overlays. For us there's two. One to fix rounded corners, and the another to fix auto brightness. If you need help with any of that please let me know. I'm happy to teach anyone how to fish if they're willing to learn.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Donavonn:
I'm going to give it a try. I only see the AOSP 8.1. I'm running Oreo 8.0. Is there one for 8.0?

-edit-

i just tried installing it like the guide said. What I done was install the latest firwmare for moto g6 play boost mobile, then booted twrp, factory reset, the flashed the "system.img for A-only ARM32 devices vanilla" on the thread you gave me, but I keep getting boot loops on "bad key". im not sure what i done wrong
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
You probably need to "format" data, not just factory reset. Choose format data, then type yes when prompted in TWRP.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Donavonn:
Nope. I still get the same issue: boot loop with the screen saying "bad key".

-edit-

Nevermind! Instead of flashing it in twrp, I used the fastboot command. Thank you guys!

-edit-
[MENTION=7718083]Spaceminer[/MENTION] May I ask for help on the round corners and auto brightness?
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
Yeah no problem, drop these in /vendor/overlay, and set permissions to 0644, or rw-r--r--, then reboot. The Auto bright overlay should enable itself, the other one you have to do through a command.

su

cmd overlay list

cmd overlay enable com.replace.this.with.the.package.name

reboot

That's it. Just to be clear, adb shell instead of su also works. I just prefer termux on android. If for some reason either does not start working then let me know. You'll have to chcon the file and I'll tell you how.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Donavonn:
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! Also, is it normal that when I flashed the image, facebook and primevideo was installed? I'm not sure if that's supposed to be there and I did something wrong or if that's how it's supposed to be.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
That's because they sit in /oem/app, oem/priv-app, and /vendor/app & /vendor/priv-app. That's where they stuck the carrier bloat mostly. Once removed they will not return unless you flash the vendor or oem images from stock. Make sure to delete Facebook app installer or it comes back. Mobile ID is also somewhere in there too. I hate that thing.

Also if you're into changing your boot animation, it goes in oem/media. The GSI's can't read our stock one because its in mp4 format. Stock can read mp4 or PNG, and I think jpg too though.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Donavonn:
I just wanted to reply and say thank you for the help! I greatly appreciate it! If I have any more problems I won't hesitate to post here. Thanks again.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
As an FYI, the latest Pie builds by Phh are booting on the G6 Play. Auto brightness is also now included. HDR on the camera doesn't work. I also have not gotten Viper to work... yet. After installing Viper, rename all the .so files in /vendor/lib/soundfx to .so.bak and reboot. Renaming the folder itself might also work, I haven't tried it yet. Remember to change the names back if you return to stock.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
Try searching your registry to remove any PointUI references, and also check their forums for others having a similar problem. If you're the only one, the likelihood of this being PointUI's fault decreases significantly.

My vote is for coincidence, and +1 to dhawal4u for most likely fix.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] conan711:
Help! Since yesterday my mix me 1, has the following problem.

Suddenly, the sound of notifications, ring tones, mp3s, etc., are distorted.

Any sound is emitted from the phone in a terrible way. Inaudible.

It almost seems that the sound is emitted distorted by the speacker at the bottom, or perhaps by the screen speacker. I mean the piezoelectric system that is used for phone calls.

Is anyone aware of this problem?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] dan079:
Had that issue once, i thought that the speakers are goners. Re-flashed a fresh ROM and the it was back to normal.
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] twoxa:
Hey guys, last update of GCam for G7thinq working on out device! (not everything is working obviously).

Working:

- main camera with HDR

- wide angle

- portrait

- video at 1080p

- H265 video recording

- night sight (but lags)

Edit: apk with working wide angle (thanks to [MENTION=2727149]Whoareyou[/MENTION])

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kQq...w?usp=drivesdk

Enable Add AUX

Now switching between front and back camera twice is your switch to wide angle and back!

[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] twoxa:
Here is an example of stock (top) vs Gcam (bottom). Gcam preserves more details (check bricks for example), and makes low light images a bit more clean overall.

I have an apk I found with working Wide angle but I am not sure which one it is (I've got a few in my downloads ?) I'll upload it here when I figure out which it is.

Edit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kQqhAxvcDEQZN8MGu1Qg3WgtuiI7Cyex/view?usp=drivesdk

Switch to wide angle:

Switch to ffc

Switch back to rear

It should now be using wide angle.
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] twoxa:
[MENTION=2727149]Whoareyou[/MENTION] great find man! Works well!

For unfamiliar folks, what makes Google Camera great is the software post processing, particularly Google's HDR, which I never turn off, and portrait - great results. Also somehow GCam manages to preserve more details compared to LG's camera. Now we have working wide angle, I can switch to GCam completely, at least for photos. Night sight working as well, we just have to deal with lag in viewfinder.
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] larkhillv:
Thanks for the link, but am I missing something as far as fixing the extreme lag with the view finder and image capture? Between hitting the capture button and the actual image being taken is several seconds, and the viewfinder lag makes it very hard to use.
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] twoxa:
I have lag only in night sight mode.

Shutter button works only on second touch for me. And yes, GCam takes a moment to take a picture compared to stock camera, that's just how it works on on phone.
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] larkhillv:
The viewfinder is laggy no matter what for me, and it takes much longer than a moment for the shutter button to register for me. Oh well, maybe I'll have better luck with some future modded APK. The camera that comes stock with the V40 is already pretty good, but having night sight and Google's HDR would be the cherry on top.
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] twoxa:
Sounds like you missing something in settings. Make sure buffer fix is on on settings - bsg - fixes
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] larkhillv:
It worked! Thank you :) much more functional now.

i guess i would be able to flash it on my g7 , but i only have a .up file instead of a kdz and that doesnt work
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] askermk2000:
Warning!

From what I read recently; LG has started to use unique RSA keys for each device (within a group, i.e G7) starting with V35 (I think), thus flashing a KDZ from another G7 would definitively cause hardbrick.

Edit: Apparently this was (mostly?) wrong. At least some confirmed models can be cross-flashed.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I thought that was only for TMoile but not the rest of variants?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] askermk2000:
Well, like I said, not anymore.

IIRC, this is what [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] said in a tread somewhere (I don't recall exactly, maybe V30 forums).

He is the current resident expert on LG root, and bootloader matters. At least the most active one, and he's provided root for many previous LG devices.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I am definitely not arguing as I dont know the answer 100% myself.

What I DO know for sure is that I can, (and I have) flashed other LG G7's firmware on my G7 (Sprint) through my Octoplus box. This is using the Octoplus box, not LGUP, but if the RSA keys were an issue, I would expect it to not work (flashing another variant .KDZ), or I would expect the device not to work (boot) afterwards. It boots and works just fine. I also know of numerous others who have converted their LG G7's (except TMobile) to the unlocked model (ULM). My understanding was that only the TMobile ones were using a custom RSA key coming FROM TMobile themselves (I could be wrong but this is what I read) and since I dont own a TMobile flavor, I cant test myself to confirm.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] askermk2000:
In that case maybe I remember wrong, or runningnak3d statement was not accurate (maybe doesn't apply to G7 specifically).
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
All good, I dont know for sure myself so I cant confirm nor deny anything except for my personal Octoplus flashing. I just want ROOT, thats what I am pressing through to figure out how to achieve. I HATE that LG locks the bootloaders, if I had known prior, I would NEVER have switched from HTC!

LG mobile will go out of business soon enough if they dont cut the crap.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] askermk2000:
Yeah, not to mention that we don't have a way to fix ourselves bricked devices. It would be a trivial matter with a simple qualcomm type firehose-file.

Instead now it's basically dead weight. They seem to think it's ok to produce lots of electronic garbage, and not make efforts to reduce this.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Exactly, hopefully the drop in sales will be enough to kick their butt's in gear BEFORE they become the next Blackberry! If they would simply give us a restore KDZ, we would love LG, instead, they lock us out, and make it damn near impossible to restore or recover our devices from normal things, such as a bad OTA updates. BUT NO, for some dumb A$$ reasons, they dont so it WILL be their demise. Its almost like being able to see the future. If they took notice of all the predecessors before them, all their mistakes, made changes then history wouldn't have to repeat itself. If not, LG will be another forgotten company no one gives a crap about.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
What partitions did you flash?

All of the KDZs I have been able to pull down have different RSA certs (granted it is only a couple) but it is not just the TMO that was different.

If you don't mind, link to the exact KDZ for your model, and the KDZ that you flashed -- I would love to compare the certs.

-- Brian
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
There is no KDZ for the PM (Sprint model) yet so I cannot go back to Sprint or link to one (until one is released) but I wish there was one for others who are in a loop or brick situation, here are the 2 I used:

EM (European Model - bootload unlockable approved by LG):

G710EM10b_00_0521.kdz

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W14Y-jbvnwDt4UOfitni8hDGfwYsXesV/view?usp=sharing

ULM (US Unlocked Model):

G710ULM10g_00_NAO_US_OP_0913.kdz

http://pkg02.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/d...XADM55F9FR80/G710ULM10g_00_NAO_US_OP_0913.kdz

I flash ALL partitions through Octoplus EXCEPT the modems (MODEM1/2), I left those from Sprint (stock), not sure if it helps or not, but I have service so I like to think it did. There are lots of users who have also used the LGUP (somehow) to cross flash the KDZ's to the ULM (unlocked) model but I haven't personally used this LGUP method so I cant comment if its valid or not. Octoplus, most definitely works though (and I have the logs to show the partitions if one was interested).
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
There will never be a Sprint KDZ -- neither Sprint or AT&T release KDZs (I don't think they even use them internally).

I am downloading them now, and I will pull the certs / post the results as soon as they are done.

Thanks!

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
And that pi$$es me off that Sprint/LG do not give us a restore KDZ! Other Sprint devices I have had all had restore firmwares to recover from, HTC/Samsung just not LG so I could fart around with the OS to my heart's content but have a restore method when things go south.

If I knew now what I knew then, I would never have moved to LG!

Yes of course, as of now, only oreo is released officially. Not sure what else you would be expecting to find. Oreo is the only OS for the US market that's officially released so there's not a Pie KDZ yet.

I really hope not since that would mean that we would need to wait close to two months for another update.
