Just what I wanted to ask!

I have got the same problem, it started about a week ago.

H780, Havoc 4.8, not rooted; worked without issues for weeks.

Force stoping (Dynamic) System Updates doesn't seem to do the trick, also the Icon in the data usage is different (it's a phone with an arrow down in the display).

Disabling all data connections lets the phone go to deep sleep again. I usually had ~80% deep sleep. Now its more like 20% - 0%.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Stephdeluxe:
Yes, it seems like the System Updater is constantly downloading something. But i have not found any way to deactivate this. It even continues downloading after rejecting the network access in the security settings.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] RockThree:
I'm having the same issue, since about October 27th; might have started with some updates of Google stuff through the Play Store. In logcat, one can see that SystemUpdate is trying to do something and crashing every half second.

One way to stop the traffic is to disable google play services in "Apps and Notifications"; elevated battery drain remains (but isn't quite as bad). But of course disabling the play services breaks a number of other apps, i.e. anything that uses push messages.

I'm hoping someone here can figure out a better solution. Is there a way to just break SystemUpdate so it doesn't run to begin with?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] 808style:
I thought I was going crazy because all of a sudden I've been getting massive battery drain too. Everything was totally fine with this ROM until a few days ago.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] WojtekCC:
I have same problem.

EDIT: Turn of wifi/LTE when you're not using phone and you can disable data/wifi usage per app.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] _tnt_:
Same here. I also have some performance issues now and after each restart the alarm clock starts. Something weird happened around end of October to the phone.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Eddie Nero:
I had to switch to LineageOS 18.1 today, system update constantly draining battery and mobile data.

Very sad about it.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] RockThree:
I found a way to break the SystemUpdate process in a way that doesn't seem to have side effects (at least I haven't noticed any after a couple of days). Battery and data usage are back to normal. This only works on rooted phones of course. What I did was:

1) get a command line on the phone, e.g. with "adb shell".

2) su (don't forget to confirm the magisk popup on the phone)

3) chmod 000 /cache/metadata

This removes all permissions from /cache/metadata. That file seems to be used by SystemUpdate to store some temporary data at the beginning; without any permissions, it can't store anything and aborts. Once the issue has been properly fixed, the original permissions can be restored with: chmod 600 /cache/metadata
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DJPRMF:
This seems to have solved the issue. at least for now.

Thanks!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] 808style:
How do you know when you can restore the original permissions?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DJPRMF:
When a new version of the ROM is released with the fix.

Keep the eye in this topic.

@TheWolfSVK should check this soon, i bet :D
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
The OTA updater wont be used in new releases since it breaks more stuff that it helps with.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DJPRMF:
Is better not then :P

But in the mean time, the solution provided before could be a fix? or have any impact?

I didn't notice anything strange since applied, but never know.

@TheWolfSVK Hi, sir hope you are in good health. Recently I am having a weird issue with havoc v4.8, on H870, that I have been using when it was released. So, the issue is that when i charge the phone and if the screen is off it charges really really slow and if I keep using the phone or just leave the screen to never turn off it charges normally. This issue has been pestering me for about a half month. I changed the charger and cable but still same result and I didn't do any modding or installing any magisk modules so i don't understand why suddenly it is doing this.

Also, any update on next release ?

Device: H870

Havoc v4.8

[fixed with Gcam in reply below] ty! :D

Hi, coming from the old 4.3 release here. After first bricking my phone into a bootloop I got things running smoothly now. One thing I did notice is that I cannot select the wide angle lens in any camera app.

Is this an issue in general with android 11 on our device? Since I haven't seen this pointed out in any of the previous posts here.

(H870 running 4.11 with microG and magisk)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kurogami555:
So, I installed it yesterday and things looking good so far no bugs temps are normal and the charging issue seems to be resolved. Thanks sir 😄

I am using Gcam mode from greatness v8.2 LINK and it's working fine. Just remember to enable auxiliary camera in settings.

Can someone help me with installing this rom on a h870ds. From what I have read on this forum the bootloader cannot be unlocked ?

Correct me if I'm wrong. You unlock the bootloader then install TWRP then install the rom with TWRP ?

Which TWRP for h870ds ?

Thanks.

Hi there, I lived under a rock for a few months and been using the A10-based havocOS on my H870. Just got the time to flash the lastest build and it's awesome! However, I can't find the menu that enabled custom actions on the button bar anymore (I used to have torch on the middle "home" button long-press). Will that be coming back, or am I just lame at searching? Thanks!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DJPRMF:
For what i know, h870ds cannot be unlocked. So there is no custom ROM for it.

Hi guys,

Do you also have a problem with the screen mirroring?

Each time when I try to connect with my TV, I receive the message: "The wfd service is still not working".

I am adding the screenshot.

Thanks!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Meredethon:
Actually, there is a build for h870ds. Follow the link in the first post.

I'm not sure about TWRP, they were not working for a long time. I think orangefox is recommended.

Maybe you also have a look at this telegram group: https://t.me/g6com

Rose (the bot) can be very helpful. E.g. download links to bootloaders, gcam, etc.

Note, it is an LG G6 group, not Havoc specific one.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kurogami555:

Hey there...Thanks again for keeping our old phone running!

What's the reason this isn't official anymore? Why gDrive-Links, now? Hate gDrive because I'm paranoid ;)

Will it be official again in the future?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TheWolfSVK:
Left official because iirc they wanted to introduce their own recovery and you cant really be as flexible with posting when official. If you want I can reupload it to my server and send you a direct link

No offence! Thanks a lot, but that's not needed. I'd just have better feeling with this being official. That's all. But it's my problem, not yours ;) Keep going the good work and I will arrange with the situation as it is :)

Hi, I'm encountering some weird issue related with bluetooth. I have Xiaomi Mi Band 6 paired to the phone and since the new update 4.12 it is getting disconnected on some random occasions. It only occurs when phone is in sleep state but not every time. Because of that any notifications are not appearing on my wrist.

When I wake up the phone the band is getting reconnected autmatically after a short while.

SOLVED. Wiping everything and flashing gapps pico instead of stock, solved the issue below. Not sure what the problem was.

==

I Installed on a H872 today. When trying to add my google account or going through the initial "finish setting up your device". It eventually comes to a black screen and nothing happens. I've rebooted and tried everything I can think of. I cant add a google account or get to the playstore sign-in no matter what I do. I wiped system, data, dalvik cache, installed rom, installed gapps for android 11. Any ideas?

The phone was on Havoc-OS-v3.2-20200224-h872-Unofficial before I flashed this rom. It was rooted with magisk v23. I did not flash magisk on this install.

I believe the problem is related to webview, but not positive. In developer options > webview implementation, nothing is listed.

EDIT: I sideloaded webview apk. Android system webview is now listed under webview implementation. Rebooted. Problem still exists. Going back to HavokOS 3.2 and older gapps to see if issue exists.

@bernardobas Thank you so much for supporting our LG G6 for such a long time.

The final "community" release has come to us.

I'm still on an older HavocOS 3.11 based on Android10 and pretty happy with it.

But there should be a time to go for security fixes. But how important are these fixes when a device gets unstable, slow or at the end unusable?

Hope it's allowed to post this link with all final releases:

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] chungvan1111:
can somebody tell me how to root and install TWRP on my H870Ds :(
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] szalaigabor1999:
You can't. There are tutorials on the internet, however they always point to the LG site for the .bin file.

ONLY the H870 model can be unlocked. An unlocked bootloader is required for TWRP to install and TWRP is required for Magisk which is required for root.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] KLCH:
IMO this version 4.12 is the best release as of yet for the LG G6 H870. It is rock-solid and otherwise perfect except that the battery usage is slightly high. But I accept that after having tried every other release for the H870 including Lineage 20 which is, sorry, crap. Lineage supports many devices and even though they say that they support each of them, this is simply untrue and bugs continue to go unfixed and the OS crashes very often.

If you're looking for a stable build, this is the one, period. You may need a new battery once a year but that's a small price to pay to have a fast, rock-solid device.

I really wish Lucye was still writing code for this device and understand his distancing himself from Lineage. He was the golden master and surely still is, just elsewhere now.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] chibichuba:
That adds up, try installing a lighter GApps variant. Also be wary of overlapping packages, GApps by default overwrites certain apps that might come with the ROM.

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] chibichuba:
I don't know of a tool, but the Android source code is available so one might be able to trace the error:

I'm looking at https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/dc34df5/services/core/java/com/android/server/vr/VrManagerService.java, following the code I think the most probable place for a crash is here, where VrManagerService might be returning null to getVrModeState while checking for a system package:

@Override
public int hasVrPackage(ComponentName packageName, int userId) {
return VrManagerService.this.hasVrPackage(packageName, userId);
}

According to the annotations this method is only callable by system services, so I would try out different GApps forms (I'm using stock), make sure you're wiping cache/dalvik at the proper times, and pay close notice to your settings during the first-boot setup wizard.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Rom:
ROM tested including AICP

They are stable, but there is a large number of translations missing for French (one of the five most used languages in the world), some other linguages tested for same result.

The same basic bugs like the 5Ghz hotspot for example are still valid in addition to a system incompatibility message that does not prevent normal operation afterwards.

I'm going back to Nougat until Resurection Remix comes out in Oreo.

Concerning the purely new features of Android 9 (Pie), some ideas are good but in their turn are cruelly lacking in customization possibilities.

2. I played around with the HavocOS settings and changed the navigation bar style. Now I am not able to get the original one back. I now have the normal three button nav bar. But I really would like to go back to the pixel style nav bar. In the setting there are only three different navigation bar styles and none of them is the original one. :(
