Hi there! Sorry for the late response. For OrangeFox recovery, why is it that the archive has a rom but the official site does not? I will now flash the recovery.

Update 1:

New recovery installed - looks great and has many more functions.

Just in case it is an issue, what should the file system be for all of the various partitions or does it not matter?

Will try to flash Havoc now.

Update 2:

Interestingly, the Device shown in the OrangeFox output says h870!

I was able to now install Havoc.

I dont know whether it is important but I once again wiped and formatted /data

I also chose to fix SELinux contexts but it ended with an Error 1

Update 3:

I now began to install the NikGapps package for arm64 and android 11/SDK30

I didn't get this far before so I think I might be home-free from here on

Rebooting now...

Update 4:

All working again. Thanks to @TheWolfSVK for giving support!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Hey, I had no clue that Orangefox is still built by them. Must be some kind of automated process that builds for all of the devices they marked.

In any case, please use this one https://mega.nz/folder/60A3CapI#tNj6CY6aAylXixtjiS27ww/folder/ShJzhIpQ

What do you mean by this?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] flowerleaf:
Yes, that is indeed weird! Besides the link that I found through Google, I wouldn't have known how else to get the official build.

As for the file system for the /system partition, I thought that I might have gotten the wrong FS (exFAT instead of EXT4, for example) and wanted to confirm. It appears that is isn't important. I still do not understand how the phone 'forgot' which device it was. Very strange - I must have nuked something somewhere with one of the wipe commands (which shouldn't happen but hey)!

In any case.... I am now in the setup flow of the phone now that it has booted into the rom. I cannot thank you enough. Now about that beer/coffee money... Have a PayPal?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
I encountered that "lost" issue many many times. The g6 is a magical device indeed.

Heres the PayPal:

Pay Michael Bardoň using PayPal.Me

Go to paypal.me/svkw0lf and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Do you think you can make encryption a reality within the next weeks? I am thinking about selling my G6, if this Android 11 Rom would provide encryption I would keep it :)

Either way, thank you and good luck!

Hey can't really give you an ETA on that since I'm having finals these upcoming weeks so most likely nope, sorry.

which version of android is this rom based. and what gaps should i use
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] laasworld:
It's encoded within the title of the thread: the current version is v4.4 it's based on Android 11.

For v4.x, the best gapps are either roar or Nikki gapps, you can find links in this thread, just search some weeks/months back.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] disposablejanan:
Thank you developer for this amazing ROM. I am facing heating and battery drain issues both on 4.3 and 4.4. I've noticed that if the screen is on and I am using chrome or any other browser the phone gets very hot and I can loose quite a bit of battery power in a short span of time. On other occasions if the screen is off, the battery drain still happens and upon looking in the battery manager, no particular app can be identified that is the cause of the drain.

Even now as I am writing this text using I notice the phone getting very warm.

I didn't had these issues an older version of the ROM.

Any suggestions please?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ma66ot87:
@Sobek5150 had the best advice on this. Helped me too. Install Smartpack Kernel Manager for this:

"Personally I have always (since getting on custom roms in 2018 with the G6) underclocked the CPU. Usually 1593MHz on the CPUs that are bigger and 1100MHz or so on the smaller two. I use Interactive CPU scheduler. Also in Virtual Memory make sure you have Zram turned on, use lz4 compression option (better than lz0) and 2048 Mb for the size."
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] disposablejanan:
Thank you very much for the prompt reply. I just noticed that if I change my CPU governor to "on demand" or "interactive" the big CPU clocks are locked at maximum frequency while the small CPU clock fluctuates (but mostly stay close to the highest value). For instance I set the big CPU clock to 1500 and it was locked there and never went down even when I was looking at the screen idly and doing nothing. The only time this clock fluctuates is when I set the governor to "power save".

In think there might be an issue with the kernel and trying a different kernel might be worthwhile. I'll wait for the developer's response since he will be able to tell us if flashing another kernel over the current ROM would be safe or not.

UPDATE: I tried different frequencies with different governors and was able to find a frequency for both small and big CPUs that fluctuates appropriately on "interactive". Thanks

To everyone whos Safety Net is failing. I came across this solution in the G6 Kindergarten Telegram channel

https://t.me/g6com which worked for me.

Activate Magisk hide and hide the app itself via properties.

Download MagiskHide Props Config as module

Download Termux and input su for superuser access

Input props then 1 then f and change fingerprint to Google Pixel 5

Restart and check with Safety Net Test app from PlayStore. Magisk safety net check may still fail. Also check PlayStore certification if applicable.

Hope this is useful.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mn1968:
Tried this but Safety Net still fails. Google Play now says my device is certified, however, I cannot download Netflix from there.

Are you using Magisk Canary? I'm on Magisk 22.1.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ma66ot87:
I'm using 22.1. But as already discussed before the problems with Safety Net are getting more diffuse at the moment due to Google rolling out hardware attestation for Safety Net. You may got unlucky earlier than me.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ma66ot87:
New Magisk 23.0 also fixed the safety net check of magisk for me.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mn1968:
I confirm this fixed safety net for me as well
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] lo0kedown:
This ROM runs pretty bad on the H870..

Everything is laging and the device gets hot very fast (almost not holdable without a case)

Battery drain is insane (85% capacity), 10-20 seconds for 1% while watching a video.

I don't know why, but Lineage works better with the H870.. (Battery drain is still bad but no lags and the average device temperature is lower)...
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ma66ot87:
Sounds like it's not the roms fault...
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] biped91:
I'm facing the same issues. had to switch to lineage. hoping havoc becomes usable again, because i really like how customizable it is.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] aXiDroid:
I have noticed a significant drop in call quality - I can't hear anyone, sound is dropping like the other person was keeping the phone next to a fan...

Is this my phone? Did anyone have similar issues?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ma66ot87:
Did anyone of you having battery drain and heat problems try installing smartpack kernel manager and tweaking CPU clocks and Virtual memory.

Please try this as described in the quote. These problems are known issues for Android 10 and 11 Roms and usually not unfixable.

Also make sure you clean flashed the ROM.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] thatchackguy:
On Havoc 4.4 with Magisk 23, ctsProfile is failing. I'n going to go back to 4.3 and see what happens
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mn1968:
Did you download/enable MagiskHide Props Config?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ma66ot87:
Since this thread is a bit silent atm I wanted to ask something I'm curious about for some time now.

I expect to use the G6 for at least another 2 years. But I'm already experiencing some performance troubles when in heavy use. I really love the phone, the cam, sound quality, sturdiness and of course this Custom ROM. But it may be time to at least give some thoughts to its successor.

I don't want to pay the price of a brand new flagship model I'm happy with a flagship phone which is up to 2-3 years old and ideally has a custom ROM which is as well developed as this one.

I heard many good things about the Google Pixel 5. And I want to avoid lineage roms. I never had good experiences with it.

Do you have any thoughts?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ma66ot87:
doublepost sorry
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Sobek5150:
Hey! Yeah we're getting close to this phone not being as viable anymore.

With that said, if you use lean ROMs like lineage, that's probably the best case scenario for usability going forward. I personally love the Havoc ROM as well, however, with a feature that packs in it usually does run hotter and sucks more battery down, as well as affecting performance, then other ROMs like lineage.

I cannot speak to the pixel 5, however in November last year I went to the OnePlus 7 Pro. I personally love it, and still use my G6 for some Media stuff and testing the ROMs for OP. My wife has a pixel 2 and she enjoys it still to this day. Still using Android 11 on their stock, no custom firmware yet. I figure when they move to Android 12, and the pixel 2 gets left behind that'll be about the time I'll probably look to do custom roms for her to extend the life.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ma66ot87:
Thanks again for your great advice. The OnePlus 7 Pro is indeed a phone I would be interested in since it also has a 5g model. It's still quiet expensive here in Europe close to 300$ for a refurbed device.

What ROM do you use? I saw that Havoc ROM on XDA is relatively "outdated" still running with A10.

Hi, I have a problem with installing the Havoc OS firmware v4.1 - v4 .5. When I start installing the firmware via recovery, I get an error 1. What can this error be? and what should I do ?​

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Hey make sure you are using OrangeFox recovery.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kwilz9:
I use ... (https://mega.nz/folder/60A3CapI#tNj6CY6aAylXixtjiS27ww/folder/XhJlgSJQ)

is this the same OrangeFox recovery?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Yeah that should do
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kwilz9:

This error always appears when installing any firmware on android 11.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Hmm then Id suggest reflashing stock rom, booting it, then flashing the rom. If that wont work, KDZ is the only option.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kwilz9:
I installed KDZ and flashed Havoc again. It doesn't help.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Which KDZ did you flash
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kwilz9:
From the LG website, Android 8.0.0
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
you should use LG UP with correspoding KDZ. Good rule of thumb is to use Android 7 based KDZ and then let it update in system.

ok, I'll try it.

Hi, first of all thank you very much for the amazing work on this ROM and enabling me and others to keep their old phones up to date.

I have an issue with android auto on my LG G6 in combination with a Seat Alhambra from 2017. I try to connect via cable but the car keeps telling me, that my phone probably is locked, besides me sitting at the unlocked phone waiting for the conformation dialog to pop up. I had the issue with Havoc 4.3 and updated to 4.5 to test if it fixed the issue. Unfortunately the update did not fix the issue. I flashed the ROM with NikGapps base. Installed Android Auto via Play Store. I have no idea how to figure out the issue. The phone reacts to the USB cable being plugged in, it charges and sets the mode to file transfer. It even seems to reconnect when I start the android auto connection on the car, but then it becomes unresponsive and only a physical disconnect from the car brings it back. Maybe you could guide me on how to debug this.

Thanks so much

Hey, I created a log dump of a connection attempt. I don't know how much of it is useful for you, I stopped the log shortlly after the failed connection attempt, but I left in the stuff that logcat extreme started recording. Hopefully you can find something useful in there ;-)

Edit: I looked through the log myself and appearently there is also an issue with my Wifi disconnecting all the time, which I noticed right now. Since this is an odd issue that could just be with settings of my router or my device, I would appreciate some hints on what actually could be going wrong, because I could not find results googling the error message.
