[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ishicrusher:
I've seen a few other people complain about this one, the fingerprint sensor. It has lost sensitivity compared to A10 based Havoc and A11 Lineage. It seems to reject the fingerprint before it has even had a chance to scan it properly. Another problem I'm having is with pocket mode, again new to A11 Havoc. Often the phone will explain that it's in pocket mode when I try to unlock it despite it being in my hand and the sensor array being totally unobstructed. A couple things with MicroG too; "permission to access location in the background" and "permission to recieve text messages" aren't checking off on the self-check list. This doesn't seem to be causing any issues with apps, but they are failing to check regardless. It also seems to not be able to detect when I pick the phone up very well for checking time and notifications, and wake on pick-up as a result. Not sure what happened between the transition between A10 and A11, but LineageOS doesn't seem to be having as many of these issues.

I want to be able to continue using havoc since it holds a lot more features than the lineage build for this phone so I hope these can be ironed out.

Edit: Fingerprint unlock has disabled itself, though it reenables after a reboot, as others have said too.

Edit 2: The MicroG issue was user error. I didn't follow the instructions as is usually the case LOL. I was meant to install the micro g core first as a user app, grant permissions, then install the magisk module.

Thanks for the update!

Its really smooth and the hot charging issue seems fixed so far. But I keep testing, I only charged once since the update.

I'm upgrading from 4.6. Will OTA update erase my data?

In my case it didnt erase any data but I cant guarantee its the same for you.

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ishicrusher:
Update was smooth aside from the launcher update removing stuff from the home screen, fortunately not much there anyway. Fingerprint still isn't as good as it was on A10, but it's better than the previous build for sure. Still having issues with 'prevent accidental wake-up' aka pocket mode, it will frequently get locked into pocket mode even though nothing is obstructing the proximity sensor (verified with diagnostics that there's nothing wrong with the prox and ALS). I'm also not quite sure what the requirements are to activate ambient display on pick-up, but it seems to require some force to get it to come on, but at least hand wave works perfectly.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Pocket mode has been always clunky, G6 uses a faux sensor so its a bit tricky to get pocket mode working right. Fear not Im aware of this. Thanks for the feedback
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kurogami555:
Nope, mine doesn't get very hot as on v4.6 its resolved now and battery time is normal full charge can last a whole day but depends on the usage.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TersusXD:
I can confirm that too. No issues until now, no bugs or anything! It works great :)

Thanks for the ROM!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] albertbro98:
Updated via OTA (and manually flashing in recovery as stated) and some things broke:

1. As other users stated, home screen and some launcher settings were gone after the update.

2. Both Play Store and Google Play Services do not work, they keep crasing and most of my apps are reporting that they won't work because Play Services is "missing". Is it unexpected behaviour due to dirty flashing? I did have root prior to updating, don't know if that could've messed with the update.

Anyways, thanks for the ongoing support!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Hey your gapps most likely broke the gapps support. I used flame gapps with ota and had no issues.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] albertbro98:
Oh I see. I was using Roar Gapps so maybe that's the culprit. Will do a clean flash to solve the issue, otherwise the new update is great and battery life has improved on my end so thanks!

Hello guys, I am new to the phone modding...and as a noob as i currently am i would like to ask you about what are the crucial steps to upgrade my LG G6 (H870 EU model) to this HAVOC-OS 4.8

What i have done up to now is buck up my phone through google. (Contacts, apps, settings and photos). Then i downloaded the HAVOC-OS 4.8 from the original Havoc-OS Website after found my correct phone tab there. (i read that i need to download GAapps and Magisk as well?) put them all in my SD card and then while holding Vol up and power on i enter the hidden menu where i can wipe all the data and select to install those 3 programs? But in order to do that i need to use a bootloader? Is there an easier method than this? Is it necessery to do that? or i can skip this step if my phone is not locked for a specific carrier as mine is? I havent find a step by step guide for my phone and i am little afraid to do that without asking for some help from you guys first. So any help would be appreciated.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] WojtekCC:
I'm afraid you have to follow this guide, read ALL. If you will have some problem you can DM me, I'll try to help as much as I can.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] adequatechris:
Exactly the same here with Roar, Play Store and Services constantly crashing.

No need to clean flash. Reflash Roar and clear caches. After reboot some Google apps still don't work - no errors, just didn't open, but crucially Play Store and Services worked fine. Manually uninstall any non-working apps and reinstall from the Play Store.

Examples I had to reinstall were Gmail, Calendar and Files. All work fine after reinstall from Store. Only one that was a pain was Gmail as I had to enter my Exchange email account again.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] laasworld:
Many thanks for the new release, I can confirm that v4.8 does seem to run noticeably cooler, can only imagine how that translates to battery life and device's TBD expiration date. Good job 👍👍

In case it helps others, I did suffer from a strange bug for a couple releases where the "recents" button literally did nothing. I finally solved it by flashing a newer roar gapps, and had also read that it's important to use the mini me version.

So I can vouch support for trying other gapps whenever you see strange bugs. A11 is indeed a bit tricky with gapps for some reason.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Thanks for the feedback, gapps have been a mess since A10. I almost exclusively use Flame gapps without any issues so far.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] SeZ87:
Installed the latest version through OrangeFox yesterday, it won't accept my 256gb Kinston microSD, neither as integrated memory nor as external storage, when trying to format as external it will say it succeeded but then still will show the same error message that I need to format. Even popping it in my z2 tablet (with lineageos 18.1) to format (successfully) and putting it back in the G6 won't help. Any idea how to fix this?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] laasworld:
This is a recovery issue, doesn't belong in this thread at all, but I would kindly recommend you just try a different recovery. I don't have a handy link for you, but you should be able find a link from the G6 telegram group for an alternative recovery. It will be a bit inconvenient that you cannot easily transfer a zip file, perhaps you can use adb sideload for this?

For reference, I'm using sky hawk since A10 and have had zero issues with it, except for confusion about the date & time (wrong timezone can be used to correct the time..), which I've always had to correct when naming backups.

Also, a word to the wise: if you find a working recovery, no sense in "updating" it...

Sorry, I read your message completely wrong! Can't help you with this one.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] SeZ87:
Thanks for taking the time to reply anyway!

Weirdly enough now it happens with a 64GB from Samsung too, on *both* devices - I switched to lineageos on the G6 too just to see whether it's an issue with Havoc, but apparently that's not the case.

Wouldn't be sure where to post this anyway, I posted it here because at first I though it must be an issue with the ROM.

Both format and work fine on PC btw.

Anyone have a good idea what could cause this?

DONT TURN ON Compass in Quick settings, bricked my phone. Fortunately works again.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] cocoflannel:
Hi,

After flashing (clean flash) HavocOS 4.8 I had an annoying and disturbing incident twice. While it was charging, the phone turned off and didn't respond for any button, button combination, nor cable. Cannot turn on, cannot execute soft reset, cannot enter recovery, cannot get to bootloader, even cannot charge. After several hours LG reacted for power button and turned on. Is it possible that some changes about charging in Havoc 4.8 cause these problems or is it coincidence and my LG just has hardware issue?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] logica1one:
Thank u 4 ur reply. Pfff I guess I have to read all those hundreds of posts!! I have a question. I have read somewhere that the security of the bank apps is at risk with custom roms. Is this true? Because that's the only reason that is holding me back to the stock lg os.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kurogami555:
It is mainly because

1. custom roms are not from big corporations so there is authenticity issue that there can be some malware hidden in code etc.

2. because custom roms have root access banks and other company tend to warn users that they won't be responsible for any data breach etc.

Now, from my experience I have been using Havoc OS since day 1 never had any issues with banking or online payments. Plus this increases the life of G6 also we get new android features all thanks to our savior @TheWolfSVK

P.S

If you are doubtful of custom roms you can always check them since they are open source. But still use custom roms at your own risk since electronic devices can get brick.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kurogami555:
@TheWolfSVK Hi, sir I was trying to use cast (wireless display) but v4.8 just restarts. Is this feature not working or is it me only.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Broken atm.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] MDW 100:
I've installed the rom through OrangeFox on my H872, no errors during install (resulting in 'Success' and automatic reboot) but the device does not boot past the LG logo. I know there could be many reasons for this, but are there any common ones? Should I try an earlier build perhaps?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] MDW 100:
Never mind, tried to install the rom while also flashing magisk and gapps (nano, arm64, a11) and the phone is showing no signs of life any more. Not even able to get into recovery.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Try LG UP with proper KDZ, or better look at H872 unbrick threads.

Advice needed

TL;DR Phone keeps getting System UI crashes and CPU goes up to 83 degrees while charging.

So, I dirty flashed v.4.8 few days after installing for the first time v.4.6 on my H870. Got Pico Gapps and Magisk as well (didn't dirty flash them during the upgrade though).

Now I keep getting System UI crashes constantly, which drives me crazy as I can only do a forced reboot, which often ends up in a cycle of two or three automatic reboots.

During charge CPU temperature goes as high as 83 degrees (!) due to iorap service, which keeps running indefinitely with high resource usage.

(If I understand correctly, /system/bin/iorap.cmd.compiler is the new pre-fetching service by Google, but I didn't find much about it).

Battery temperature is OK.

So the phone is pretty much unusable. Does anyone have these kind of problems?

I'm afraid even a clean flash would not solve this situation, and I'm thinking that if I have to reinstall everything from scratch, I would rather go back to stock rom and see if I can debloat and root it (didn't dig this route yet though).

Any suggestion or comment?

Hello.. meanwhile many many thanks for this lightweightt and powerfull ROM

i reply on this topic because a very annoying problem, WIFI connection disconnect very frequently and have some issue to connect from the first boot.. i had tryed the 4.8 and 4.6 ROM, but the issue is alredy here..

mine phone is a G6 H870, have you a solving procedure? many thanks
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Hello, might be your AP thats causing the issue. Havent had any issues with wifi since ago.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ninuxable:
i have a fritzbox 7490 with a dualband 5ghz and 2.4ghz on the same ssid

every other devices and this before with the stock ROM have no issues

i notice that whit the 4.6 rom have more stability, with the newest 4.8 the connection on wifi is very bad and i can connect when stop only before delete and reconect to the AP.

with the 4.8 the phone is more hot then 4.6, maybe because the wifi have much problem..

i don't know why but the condiction is this

let me know if i can send you some debug or log and if is possible the method to make this log

many thanks

Havent touched wlan since updating the FW early this year. Cant really help you with that. Besides G6 always had **** wifi no matter the rom or stock.

I resolve the wifi problem.. from a full wipe, have flashed the newest bootloader, the best kernel, the ROM 4.8 e at least the Gapp..

now everything work great and the phon not warmup

i alredy set a static IP on wifi setting for mine home connection ad this speedup the engance of wifi..

many thanks for your reply

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Dont use this thing, it has old drivers (mainly camera). If you ever have some issues I wont support ya cause you are using a custom kernel. Make sure to switch to default one before reporting stuff.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ninuxable:
you are right, and the wifi problem that I had reported is of clean install of stock 4.8 ROM end next the clean 4.6 for comparison.

today for search some solutions I just tried this kernel and with my surprise it work.

the battery drain was better but I think it's better only for minus issues on WiFi networks.

mine is not a solution (because the wifi problem is here, more functional but not resolved) is just a report of mine situation..

I'm so sorry for this mixing report

maybe the WiFi in more stable because I have managed the WiFi networks on AP, like change the security protocol of key, the channel and something like this.

is only a nob opinion but I think that the problem is on DHCP discover.. or is that I can see when I press connect on saved network, still in "giving IP address" and crash.. next 2 or 3 tap end no connection engaged the WiFi schedule turn of and next turn on automatically. but with a static ip on phone and on router by mac address there are disconnection anyway.

in conclusion, with the clean 4.8 and this alternative but old kernel my phone are more stable.. now i can use a wifi for a videocall or download some apps.. yeahh disconnect anyway but not frequently.

this rom work in lg g6 h780s?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] _tnt_:
As always, I have to say great work. I just upgraded from 3.8 > 4.8 and everything is nice and smooth. I'm always surprised how nice my 4,5 year old LG G6 works.

I have two questions/remarks:

1) On Havoc 3.8 when I pressed the square navigation button long, the flashlight turned on. With 4.8 this is not the case any longer.

2) I had this issue already with 3.8, but I thought it will go away with a clean installation. When I have a WhatsApp call (via headset) and I want to lower the volume, nothing is happening. The volume is at the lowest, but I can still hear the caller (not silent, really loud). Is this a known issue, am I the only one who is facing this?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] WojtekCC:
Some review after ~month of use. H870

Its okay, not best battery life but okay. Some A11 custom kernel with battery tweaks would be nice.

Bugs I found:

-Turning on compass 'bricks' phone, you have to force reboot it (vol -, power button).

-once in a while turning on the phone after leaving it off for a few hours will cause system ui go crazy:

1. You try to unlock phone with pattern after rebooting/booting.

2. after ~2sec. system ui itself goes to sleep.

3. go to point 1.

to fix it i forced reboot it.

Haven't found more bugs.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] abriko:
Hi,

Yes, I've been experiencing the same WhatsApp bug since older versions too. Volume stays quite high and if using speaker I have to muffle it with my finger/hand.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] fefferico:
Thanks for the amazing ROM.

The only problem I found with the latest version, after more than a month usage, after a clean flash, is that the fingerprint does not work anymore. It has never worked since this last flash.

Previous version worked intermittently, but I usually solved by restarting the device.

Now,with this latest version, it's no more recognized and the fingerprint is just useless, so can't use it to unlock phone or other apps that has biometric pwd.

Can't flash again cause I have some configurations used for a VPN at work,so a wipe is not a viable solution for me,at the moment. Any suggestion?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] dogixdd123:
The 5ghz wifi signal isn't working and there are bugs in the rom, if you change to laungage that is written from right to left(the icons of the wifi and battery , the square button isn't working too).
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] albertbro98:
Hey, just wanted to share my experience with 4.8 so far:

Clean flashed 4.8 alongside FlameGApps and no sudden app crashes as it happened with RoarGApps.

Magisk 23 works without issues and passes SafetyNet attestation (without MagiskHide Props Config). NFC payments and banking apps work using MagiskHide.

I cannot comment on the fingerprint issues as my sensor is faulty.

Performance is good, quite responsive as long as you're not using too many apps simultaneously .

Battery life is acceptable given the level of performance, on previous versions of Havoc used a kernel manager to improve but not anymore. I can get ~4h of moderate use and ~2h30 of heavy use.

Easily the best A11 custom ROM for the G6 in my opinion. Besides some minor bugs it's stable, provides good customization and performs well. Excellent job by @TheWolfSVK . Can only hope to see A12 Havoc on our device as the final Android version to be ported 🙏 (if not thanks for everything anyways).
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate people enjoying havoc. A12 is in the works, I've been poking around with it for good two weeks, so far no boot. That's why I wasn't pushing any havoc updates. I want to jump straight into a12.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] WojtekCC:
Focus on battery life, if you can. Maybe conservative governor on default?
