Not a guy. ;) [MENTION=5377398]TotallyAnxious[/MENTION] is female.

[MENTION=8500536]JonnyTrulove[/MENTION], who started this equalizer thread, is the one who suggested she also put this equalizer in her "omnibus" Magisk module.

Her module

also enables DTS and lockscreen weather animations, adds G7 camera options, Google phone, has (or did have) performance enhancing script, dual speaker mode, always-on HIM -- and a lot of other stuff.

Anyway, now her module also has this equalizer (which apparently needs the recent DTS framework to successfully install).

You can either install it by itself from this thread or as part of her Magisk module.

Yes, [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] has recently also added lockscreen weather animations and visible DTS to the TWR-flashable zips, but those are simple build prop edits to fully enable stock features already in the KDZ. It's a nice gesture to do that.

Whereas, adding this separate apk to a TWRP-flashable zip (which is stock KDZ) would be going an extra step. If he wants to do that on his own, great. But asking him to do that is not proper form. He's already supporting several of these variants with stock TWRP-flashable zips, and they are not meant to be "custom ROMs". And then what happens when other "neat" features come along we want included? Well, that's why we have the mods and apps section. :)

I know you understand this, I'm just trying to explain the discussion better for those who may not understand.

In these two specific cases, it would be better for LG to not only fully enable the DTS (with no root required) but also include this equalizer into stock KDZ. ;) Then it would already be in the TWRP-flashable zips.

Oh thanks, didn't notice that one, should have looked better...

That's pretty unfortunate, I'm still locked atm. I still don't get it why LG would add this feature even listing it in the changelog and don't even enable it :rolleyes:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Right, including it in the changelog makes no sense if it's not enabled. Unless there's some process which can use the DTS without the visible interface in Settings. Same way the lockscreen has weather animations from some hidden LG weather app... I don't know.

But with the visible interface you can ADJUST the DTS to how you like it.

Most times LG doesn't even publish changelogs!

The other theory is they will enable the DTS interface when Pie comes and they are putting it in Oreo for testing on their end. Again, I really don't know.

However, I am glad I have root so I can

enable the DTS Surround Sound.

. As I mentioned, [MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION] even enables it in his TWRP-flashable zips so just by flashing Magisk before rebooting, it's there when you go into Settings.

Does all of this (dts x + equalizer) works on android 7.0 (H930DS V10e-AME), does it stay in settings "sound quality and effects" when i flash back nougat from oreo ( i'm updating to oreo just to unlock bootloader, root and get equalizer), or it'll back to only "hifi quad dac" , did someone try?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
NO.

You won't actually have DTS until you update to more recent firmware. When you root, you will be on early Oreo (Pre-July 2018), which does not have the 2019 DTS libs.

Only more recent Oreo V30 firmware has the DTS framework (libs) which came in updates from LG in 2019. This DTS equalizer works with that.

US998 received DTS right after the Korean variants, but H930DS had to wait a few months.

See this Guide for how to enable DTS:

Fully enable DTS 3D stereo (root needed)

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/enable-dts-3d-stereo-lg-v30-variants-t3887139

Yeah, the DTS 3D Surround sound on recent LG rooted stock firmware is great.

Changing that prop build does no action unless the DTS libs are present. If you read post #1 of that Guide you will see all the edits made as more firmware was added over the months. The only firmware to NOT have it right now on Oreo is Canada H933.

If you go back to Nougat you will go back to worse camera and no DTS. There were so many improvements with Oreo especially most recent Oreo. Front and back cameras were improved, plus DTS 3D stereo.

Better to update to most recent firmware after rooting so you can have the DTS framework (libs).
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zoki88:
Saw that link earlier, very useful, thanks, i'll do that now when you said that Oreo have improved camera, even if i have update notif. for long time ago, didn't updated, because i was suspicious about battery life, read somewhere on xda and reddit, some people say that it's worse, some that it's better, and some that had same issue, first was worse, and then they did some works in settings(i think apps settings) and then it has improved and like on nougat, but not everyone succeed that
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Here's the change log when US998 got DTS, so I'm assuming it's the same for all V30 when they received DTS framework (which can be

enabled via root

). This is why it's not recommended to be using Nougat or even early Oreo but instead to update to latest stock rooted firmware:

change log:

- DTS: X 3D stereo effect function has been added.

- New Always On Display options

- Selfie camera portrait mode

- Improved accessibility.

- Improved keyboard performance

- Improved the delay of keyboard input when installing multiple market apps at once.

- Photo display error in some apps since Google's latest security patch has been improved.

- Improved to keep app aspect ratio settings after app updates.

- Improved the phenomenon that fine lines are displayed on some screens when power saving mode is executed.

- Google Security Update has enhanced your phone's security.

Most of the list is found here in the link below -- plus the AOD and selfie camera portrait feature are from public reports. The AOD I verified myself, but the selfie thing seems to be subtle.

Hi

Jfyi: tried installing that on my H930 unrooted pie latest version (that lg gave me ota). I can see the equalizer and change settings but it does not seem to change the sound. I do not want to root my phone before I am out of the 2 year warranty (which will take another 18 month)

What I do not get is: why do these equalizers not have an option to adjust the channels manually? I got hearing problems and as most people I got difficulties with higher frequencies. It would make lots of sense to adjust those channels with my hearing aid professional so that I hear music the way others do. So far I just found equalizers with preset profiles ...

Cannot be so difficult - or did I actually miss something?

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
From PM:

Sorry, can't help you with your issues.

If you need phone fixed, you can pay for out-of-warranty repair. For instance cracked display is not covered under warranty -- but LG will repair it for reasonable cost and keep IP68 rating.

Before making major changes always make TWRP backups to restore.

Plus, you can always re-lock bootloader and send phone to LG. They will often not check. If they do and say warranty was voided, then pay for out-of-warranty repair.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] daniu:
Interesting - maybe where you live they are reasonable ... we are getting offtopic but: I almost sent my phone to warranty repair (finally found put that the "dead pixels" were dirt under the glass) and so was directed to an official LG repair service. They have a price list. New display is 280Euro. My phone was cheaper. I don't know where you live but here the official service does not have reasonable prices ...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
New display here from LG Repair Center is $145. Had to send one phone in because my wife dropped phone on gravel parking lot.

When I bought my new V30/V30+ phones end of 2017, I paid a few hundred dollars for each -- so $145 was reasonable for IP68 rating to be intact.

Now I would probably buy "mint" off eBay if prices drop any more. Right now mint used V30+ is $160.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

So even though your phone is new and under warranty they won't replace display with dirt under the glass? You didn't put the dirt under the glass.

Or you just haven't sent it in yet?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] daniu:
The dirt was under the protection glass which I assembled myself ... so no - I did not send it in.

So finally I just hope that LG adds the necessary features to stock ROM soon so that I can use the equalizer

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
LG V30 has DTS 3D Stereo and this Equalizer for about a year now -- but you need root to enable them. LG supplied the libs in the latter Oreo updates and even noted it in the change logs, but never enabled them for stock firmware. Can be done easily with root.

The 2018 Snapdragon 845 LG trio G7, V35 and V40 come already with this, as you've mentioned.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] nate0:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Great that you rooted your V30+!

FYI for you or anyone else reading this...

Since this thread was started February 2019, most TWRP-flashable zip (stock ROM) devs now enable DTS and include this Equalizer in their releases. So, if you flash a stock TWRP-flashable zip file (like for future updates) chances are you most likely will have these features.

This thread is now for people who flash full KDZ and need to install it -- or in the future when devs move on to different phones and we need to flash KDZ again for updates. Two of the TWRP flashable devs already have left for other phones.

Is it enough for the phone to be just "unloked" by LG unlocker:

https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0702

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Root is being "admin" of your phone. Slang, you "own" your phone. Just like if you are admin of your PC.

Unlocking bootloader is merely the preliminary step to root. Unlocking bootloader does nothing by itself.

Of course. As long as you have ROOT and are on latter Oreo (or Pie) with DTS 3D Stereo libs. LG started including that in Oreo firmware released in 2019. It's not there on early Oreo. For T-mobile H932, that means H932 20R and newer.

Because LG never gave the V30 this LG Equalizer. Same reason you need root to enable DTS SURROUND SOUND.

wasn't it that you need to put a line in build.prop to make equalizer pop up and usable for user, [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION]? and that's not possible w/o root :( you can install the apk, of course, w/o root but w/o this build.prop edit system doesn't know what to do with it.

this eq then is system wide, means, even bluetooth has eq sound.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, even bluetooth has EQ sound with this app. DTS also works over Bluetooth. I use both all the time with my car stereo.

See this post back in March 2019:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79100754&postcount=39

Actually installing the equalizer doesn't need you to change the build prop line. That's not in the instructions to install this app -- but we did confirm many times you need root to install. Maybe installing the app tries to write a build prop line and can't? It comes from an LG system app in another phone.

To me, doesn't matter exactly why -- in the end you need root. :)

For DTS Surround Sound, yes you need to change build prop line to enable those libs. You and JohnFawkes already do that for your TWRP-flashable zips, so thank you.

TotallyAnxious put both the DTS and this Equalizer in the Anxious V30 module (which I use), but I had already installed it from here first.
