6gb of RAM is plenty in 2019, and should be acceptable for several years out, but if an 8gb version had been available, I would have sprung for it instead.

I worried that 6gb might be a limitation with the Dual Screen accessory, and cause me some issues, but so far, nothing has been noticable.

It's decent. Browser windows do scroll a little more jittery on the dual screen, but it it nearly imperceptible, unless you are specifically focused on scrolling smoothness.

I have games for extended periods while watching YouTube, and heat has barely been noticable on the dual screen. I worried that the Dual Screen case would be a double whammy of both increasing pressure on the processor and insulating the phone inside of the case, but my fears were not realized, this phone's vapor chamber cooling does a fine job of keeping the processor moving at speed.

I haven't used a pixel or Huawei device for comparison, nor have I installed the Google Camera in this device.

The LG V50 takes much better low light pictures than any other device I have used, but it doesn't make miracles happen the way Huawei devices do in the reviews. That said, the flash LED is strong and can produce a clean light for a shot at night.

It should also be noted that the folding nature of the dual screen case allows you to set the phone up in many different positions with the flashlight torch turned on, making it a very handy work light or nightlight lantern.

The Dual Screen has a function too create bright light to illuminated a selfie. It works well in very low light, but isn't remarkable in dusky lighting conditions. It was a very creative use of the dual screen on LG's part.

[LG V50 ThinQ Real Life Review] Dathaniel:
The cameras are good, generally. Well rounded, and well color balanced between lenses. The colors seem more natural or true. Pictures aren't as brightly colored saturated as some other devices.

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

The focal distance of the wide angle lens, for a "macro" shot is about 7 or 8 centimeters, which at that distance provides very clear, roughly 2x magnified images. It works quite well, and I am very pleased with this performance.
[LG V50 ThinQ Real Life Review] themancc:
Does the camera take quick pictures? I had the V30 before and a common problem which they had was that there was a lag between pressing the shutter button and the picture being taken. This would mean that I would frequently miss photos of my kids, creating a blurred picture. I have read this was mixture of the phone taking a while to set exposure and slower shutter speeds being favoured in order to keep iso and noise low.
[LG V50 ThinQ Real Life Review] Inerent:
Really quick. Also night mode is really fast.
[LG V50 ThinQ Real Life Review] snaske65:
Says it all great camera and this is with night shot.
[LG V50 ThinQ Real Life Review] Inerent:
What are those? ;)
[LG V50 ThinQ Real Life Review] snaske65:
They are zooanthoids in my fish tank. They are a soft coral.

Usually you dont get there color to well because of the blue night light, thebpicture gets washed in blue.

This camera can filter a lot of that out. A lot og phones cant.

Just check this outstanding ultra wide camera 4k 60 fps original video quality shoot with v9 camera, android 10 beta v19a.

I've been on a boat trip and another person with the iphone 11 pro max was telling me how nice the colors are. Then I've showed him my video, then he showed me his. Put the phones next to each other and the V50 killed the iphone.

More to come!

V50 HDR vs SDR difference. It's actually kind of unexpected as the difference isn't in the colour.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd__qyfXKzw

Love the Cine Video effects. Strangely enough, panning introduces a lot of blur though. https://youtu.be/G9-JiIM5dzc
[LG V50 ThinQ Real Life Review] Grimm-reaper:
Before I bought v50 I was using Pixels and Sony devices and I could record 4k videos without any limitation. I am surprised why v50 has 10 or even 6 minutes 4k recording limit. I have seen this type of limits last time in 2016. Why this silly limitation exist and how to remove this ridiculous limitation from stock camera? In home we have s10 with ****ty Exynos which is able to record 4k/60fps even for long hours as a dashcam during track day and I am really shamed why my LG cannot record properly 4k videos while my friend record freely long 4k videos using 5 yers old iPhone although she probably rents this iPhone from British museum. Any camera mod or workaround?
[LG V50 ThinQ Real Life Review] waingro808:
Pixel has the same limitation.

[LG V50 ThinQ Real Life Review] Dathaniel:
The selfies are decent. The megapixel rating if the cameras isn't terribly impressive on paper, but the pictures that it takes are crisp and clear, and have good color.

The "beauty effects" are available in a number of ready made profiles that seem oriented towards the feminine user, and are generally not favorable to a normal, un-AI-edited shot, imo. There are fairly decent color correction options, but the interface isn't the most friendly out of the box. Luckily, the various features and options can be moved around to suit the user.

The wide angle selfie cam is a very nice and useful feature. Being able to fit a few now people in, or a landmark or landscape behind you is great. It's like a built in selfie stick, minus the ridiculous looking asshole tourist factor. I love wide angle selfie cams. It is worth the notch for the speaker and wide angle lens it provides.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mffu:
I think this FM Radio is improved as far as reception concerned. Less interference noticed overall. Back up the current library (just in case you don't like this one) from the Windows directory and replace it with the files in the zip.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] plopplop:
Where does it come from ?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mffu:
From udk's latest ROM
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Ajacied410:
Is there a possibilitie to change the fm radio with a working wm6.1 rom already flashed because when i try to copy the files over the files on my device i get a error that i cant override them.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mffu:
use total commander or resco explorer. Either will over-write the libraries.

It would be great to make a cab file out of it. Could anybody help with it?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ianl8888:
That depends - what are all the needed Registry entries ? It's simple enough to have all the files in the zip CAB'd to install in \Windows, but are there Registry entries needed beyond these ?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ext3:
i tried it yesterday.Copy all files in Windows folder with resco,check version and see version number is ok.I listened to radio all night and havent a problem
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mffu:
This library is complete. You can unzip it to the storage card, tap on the FM Radio.exe and it will work. I believe we need a cab maker. That type of program writes everything into the registry during the installation.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Nani:
Thanks. I will try this one tonight ... ;-)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] SaBo:
Here you go.

Tested. Works.

Sascha
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] victoradjei:
The PDAViet rom also has version 1211.721 which also has better reception than the one on the stock rom. Now I can use my favourite headset which had poor reception, maybe due to shorter length than some crappy one I had:)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] JNGold:
Doesn't work on my Cruise. Stock ROM. The App doesn't want to start.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] JNGold:
Neither the cab not the zip works. I thought that my sprite backup would have the original Files from the rom,it does not. Does anyone have the stock radio files to get my radio working again?

TIA!

EDIT: It looks like I have lost the ability to launch the radio app. At this point, I really don't want to do a hard reset. Don't apply this update unless you are willing to lose this function.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] E.Bonobox:
this is the default version that i have on my HTC Polaris/Cruise.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] MelGibson:
I'd like to backup my files before copying the new one but can't copy fms_api.dll, even using Resco explorer... :(
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] LIPA:
Doesn't work on my Cruise. Raramomo ROM. The App doesn't want to start.

Has somebody a cab of the original radio ? :confused:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] SaBo:
What application doesn't start?

The CAB can only be installed if you turn certification off.

I don't know if this is possible with all stock ROMs.

Sascha
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] JNGold:
The FMRadio.exe does not start. The cab was installed properly without issue.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ianl8888:
Yes, I know that - it was the point of my post.

But what I asked is: "Are there any other Registry entries that need updating ?"

The answer seems to be - apparently not, since another post reported it as working by just copying the unzipped files into \Windows ... but other posts reported this as not working.

Generating a CAB is easy of course, making sure it actually works may be harder.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mffu:
The FM Radio I posted is better than the PDAViet's one. I have less interference or static after I upgraded to it. I am on PDAViets's 06 build and I get a clear and crisp signal off the stations I had the crappy static with the original build.

And YES, you got to have the security policies changed in order to overwrite some files in the Windows directory. Search for the SDA Application unlocker. That should fix the problem with upgrading.

In my first post I mentioned about backing up the original files. If you happened to fail doing so, try to find Dutty's FM Radio cab.

Thank you!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] LIPA:
I have run SDA unlocker, re-run the cab and still no FM radio starting ?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mffu:
How about replacing the files from the zip, instead of running the cab. I used the Total Commander to replace the original library.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mdacfan:
Perhaps you have to rename "FMRadio.exe.0409.mui" to your corresponding country setting - i.e. for german ROMs you need to rename it to "FMRadio.exe.0407.mui" (use Total Commander).

Have not tested it - but will do this tonight.

Good luck,

Gerhard
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] JNGold:
What is the code for the WWE edition?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] victoradjei:
Copying the files to \Windows with Total Commander works ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pinobigbird:
I did a hard reset to regain FM radio. I have a stock Dutch rom, no SDA Application unlocker installed or what so ever.

This is what I did:

* Made backup of original files, "fms_api.dll" did not exists in original /Windows folder

* Installed .cab (without any warning) + soft reset > FM Radio won't start

* Renamed "FMRadio.exe.0409.mui" to "FMRadio.exe.0413.mui" + soft reset > FM radio won't start

* Put back original files with TotalCommander, deleted "fms_api.dll" + soft reset > FM Radio still won't start:mad:

* Hard reset > FM Radio works fine again.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] JNGold:
I would be very curious to know what these people who claim this update "works" have done to their devices prior to attempting this. It doesn't seem like this is not too successful for that many people.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] victoradjei:
I use PDAViet rom 19900 without any tweak from me. So whatever they did is what I am using. I just unzipped into a folder on my TC and then used Total Commander to copy to the windows directory. I did not even need a reset to make it start working. Simple as that :cool:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mffu:
Here is what I think about this upgrade. My polaris is flashed with PDViet's 06 build. The rom has all security policies disabled. The original FM was 1.5.1211.721 and was not as good as the 1.5.1811.1326 that I later tried with the ASerge's latest WWE Rom. However the PDViet's Rom turned out to be a whole lot faster and more stable. I liked the performance of the PDA, but was unhappy with the FM static and poor signal. I split the udk's 19839 build and extracted the FM files from it. I made sure I received the complete library. Finally I replaced the original FM files in the windows directory. I did nothing eleborate to make it all work.

I did not use the cab, but files only. Never tested the cab myselt either.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] riconat:
Difference reception?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] plopes:
I traid to install the new FM Radio but it doesn't work, so if somebody can supply the old CAB I would appreciate.

I forgot to backup the old files! Upsss.

Thanks.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] plopes:
Can somebody post the files, please? :(
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pinobigbird:
See attachment.

Remember, it contains a Dutch localisation file, FMRadio.exe.0413.mui, I don't know it will work for you.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] plopes:
Thanks man! I'll try to update this night. My TC is a WWE edition, so I have to find out which name should I write down for English edition.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Riemen:
Got it to work on my Orbit 2. You really have to rename that language file as stated above, or the Error message, saying that the Headset has to be plugged in will be an empty window.

And yes, it works in any folder. Tried it from my SD card

But after some testing, I can say, that I really can't realize any difference in sound Quality...

Didn't work because you deleted fms_api.dll. The original file IS in the Windows folder, but on the Rom and somehow copy protected. While trying to backup my files with Resco Explorer, it failed to copy this File.

Quick Charge 3.0 chargers can be found on eBay pretty cheaply. Normally, they are marked around the 9 or 10 dollar price tag, but if you eBay search for "Quick Charge 3.0 two pack", or "three pack", "four pack", etc... You can find done great options. I found a four pack of charging bricks that actually cost less than a 3 pack of identical bricks. You can also find bundles with x amount of charging bricks, and y amount of two port (ie, 1xQC3.0, 1x5v@2.1amp) car chargers. Retractable USB C cables can be found bundled for like 2 bucks each-ish, and 1 meter, 2 meter, 3 meter braided USB 3 type C cables can be found for 2.49 to 3.99 pretty easily. 10 watt Qi wireless charging pads sell for around 10 bucks.

The battery in this thing doesn't last as long as I wish it would, especially while using the Dual Screen for heavy multitasking. But luckily, with Quick Charge 3.0, or even with 10 watt wireless charging, this thing fills back up pretty quickly.

On a normal old-school 5v@1amp charger, this thing can trickle charge while running YouTube videos, but will trickle discharge if the dual screen is running a video while you are monitoring live updates on the other screen.

Plugged into a quick charge 3.0 car charger, you can be steaming music videos on YouTube, playing the audio over Bluetooth to car speakers, and navigating in Google maps, with brightness maxed, while still adding charge to the device.

The battery could stand to be a bit larger. I haven't had the phone die in me yet, but an hour of gaming on the dual screen can take 25 to 33 percent battery, depending on the load, and what's happening on the other screen. Endurance seems fine, but the battery is just a little low in capacity for a device with this kind of horsepower and tech.
