[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Bokeh effect is very common now. I'm sure you've seen it. It could be described as (essentially) blurring what's outside of the intended subject. It's a way of 'highlighting' the subject. It's been around for a very long time, but early on was only achieved by photographers with some pretty expensive lenses.

More common now though as it is being achieved by software effects (and using information from 2 separate lenses). To get a 'natural' bokeh effect, you need a lens with a wide aperture opening. My lg g6 took the following pic to show that with an aperture of f1.8 (the V30 is even better at f1.6), you can achieve that bokeh effect both in the foreground and background, assuming the subject is close enough. (see picture below).

The 'software' achieved results vary in success, because essentially they are trying to 'draw an outline' around what the subject is, and then use an algorithm of sorts to blur the background. The results are decent, but if you know where to look, it's pretty easy to spot that it's not a 'natural' bokeh.

Cheers

As u know Matt, it's outstanding. Not many can compare. An f1.6 aperture lets in a **lot** of light. This is a google cam port to the V30, taken at about 4am (note the black sky) using 'night sight' mode... it doesn't get much better...

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] neocyke:
Bokeh is Japanese for blur. It's what every other phone make is doing with their "dual camera" setups now commonly called portrait mode. If you know how to manipulate a scene and focus, you won't miss it. I would be happy if those dual cams actually used the depth sensing cam to ALSO get more clarity into a picture instead of taking it out but then that's just me. But wide angle wins hands down vs telephoto. Every other company *cough*samsunghuawei*cough* has now come to realize this fact and started with their own implementations now. Too bad LG decided to shrink the FOV on the new phones tho.

Having used the G5 for a couple of years, I will defo miss that thing. Crazy useful to have when you least expect it. Hasn't resurfaced even on the 5G V50.. so I'm kinda skeptical whether LG will bring it back with their current "lets go with the trend" design concept nowadays.

I actually have tried it on custom roms on my K3 note but to be honest I never really gave Mixplorer a chance before (re)installing ES. The network and cloud setup I had going wouldn't allow it. Prolly will try it out again later. Thanks for the suggestion mate. :good:

XDA pool party at your place???
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JonnyTrulove:
To be fair, like a couple other highly recommend ones, I probably didn't give Root Explorer a real chance.

I think I used it briefly at a time when I downloaded like 5 different file managers suggested on or made by XDA members and probably only used it sparingly during what I convinced myself was a fair personal beta test of all of them. Being honest with myself it wasn't because I never stopped using ES during that time. (Kinda like the first three times I tried to switch from PC to MAC, just wouldn't put the time in when I could fall back on my PC)

The only reason Mixxplorer had a chance to win me over is when I switched to this device and got it rooted. Between resets and bricking it so many times (my fault, not anyone else's) I didn't have any of my go-to apps and somehow I ended up with Mixxplorer on here and then started to heavily use it since it was my only on device file Manager. I'm sure if it had been RE or any of the other solid explorers made by our fellow XDAers I would be touting that one now. We are such lazy creatures of habit lol.

Would you be willing to link to the method you used to flash this rom to your 931?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jkaspar:
Sure thing, this method assumed you are starting from a rooted US998 base: https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/running-h930-aosp-rom-us998-converted-t3889320/post79087071
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JonnyTrulove:
Ok so from what I understand now, all the current ROMs are written for the H930 variant. (For a reason I don't know yet)

And from what I can tell it seems that you can flash on to a US998 but it's a little more complicated and a bit less stable. So is that the gist of current ROM situation for V30s?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kenbo111:
Not exactly, they are no more complicated or less stable on us998. It exactly the same
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
The simple answer is all AOSP/Lineage custom "H930" ROMS work with all variants, except for T-MOBILE H932.

The first V30 Dev to make custom ROM had an H930, so all the H930 development work is under the "H930" label. Whether right or not, "H930" became the generic label for V30. There's more to the story but that's the gist.

All current AOSP/Lineage ROMs which are built using the "H930" "regular" tree (sorry if I'm not saying it exactly right) are for all H930 variants, all Korean variants and all North American variants -- EXCEPT for U.S. T-Mobile H932.

However, former H931/H933 have booting issues on AOSP ROMs UNLESS they do a tedious workaround where they wipe their devices several times and reinstall certain stock firmware and TWRP again, in a certain order. Then the AOSP ROMS boot for them also. The exact steps are listed in a couple of threads.

It seems H931/H933 both a little different from the other variants and although you can Frankenstein and root them just fine, it takes extra effort to prepare them for AOSP ROMs. But many have done it.

T-Mobile H932 is different story. The ROM has to be built specifically for H932. Similar to how T-Mobile H932 can't use WTF or Frankenstein. They are an island to themselves.

Yes. All the AOSP/Lineage ROMs work with US998, as long as they say "H930".

Do NOT try to flash any "H932" ROMs onto US998.

For reasons too lengthy to explain here, for AOSP/Lineage ROMs "H930" is the generic Dev name for all V30/V30+/V30S custom ROM development -- EXCEPT for T-Mobile H932.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] muralimsir:
Why you don't have custom rom on lg v30. Well said.

"But on this V30+, I'm running rooted stock firmware with Magisk mods, Xposed modules and build prop edits.

"Also, I like the Quad DAC and I LOVE the new DTS 3D Stereo, which custom ROMs don't have yet (DTS is what I'm talking about)... to my knowledge.

"That's no disrespect to any of the custom devs in this forum. It's just personally, I just can't risk my phone not working with my current job -- and rooted stock firmware with mods gives me what I need."

Thank you very much for this explanation, ChazzMatt.

I was toying with the idea of asking you about this. Like always, you've gone extra miles to explain the reasons. One only has to count them!

I'm curious to know about the build prop edits you use. Can you kindly explain?

Best regards.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Initially it was just build prop edits to

enable the new DTS 3D Stereo.

But now not only does [MENTION=5377398]TotallyAnxious[/MENTION] Magisk mod have that (compatible with most or all North American V30) but [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] already enables that in his various TWRP-flashable zips based on stock KDZ. So, you may or may not need to do that, depending on which variant you have.

2nd, build prop edits to

get rid of the silly LG U.S. status bar icons.

By changing certain values from North American US998 to one of the Canadian carriers, I get "LTE" and "H" vs the "4GLTE" (which is LTE) and "4G" (which is really HSPA).

On stock LTE it has that 4G symbol, with a LTE hanging off the side in miniscule lettering. On HSPA, is the exact same symbol without the LTE.

To me it both says "4G" unless I look VERY carefully. This is ridiculous. Should be clearly "LTE" and "H" -- and thanks to my build prop edits, is now that.

Other countries outside of North American don't have to deal with this nonsense. Even two of the Canadian carriers are infected with this mindset -- but I found two which are not. (However, for people who NEED carrier Wi-Fi calling or VoLTE, this can be a problem. I don't, so this works for me.) This second is just a major annoyance to me and I found a way to get rid of it. For other people outside North America, you don't even have to worry about it.

3rd, I changed the LG status bar battery icons (yes, plural) to AOSP style via Xposed module. This negates Google Pay, as Xposed modules won't pass Safety Net, but I decided I don't care. There's no way you need TWO battery icons taking up space like LG has. I use the simple circle battery icon with percentage inside. The circle also is completed or broken depending on the percentage level.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] neocyke:
Not quite. I did some build.prop edits on my "v300s" changing from KR to ESA (basically a H930 asian open) to un-koreanize it (which did work btw) and the signal changed from showing LTE to 4G without the tiny sideways lte.

That batt meter seems interesting to use. Thx for the idea Matt. ;)

I took courage from your post and installed GravityBox and effected simple tweaks and lo! 'Battery icon with percentage inside'and other interesting modifications look great.

pros-1.Pretty smooth, 2. Good battery life, 3. The closing app animation is just better than that of all the other roms! , 4. tons of customization options ( probably the most campared to any other rom)

++ Now most roms have gotten the new dac interface which is way BETTER than LG STOCK ROMS!! You get to choose between normal , aux mode and HIM , AVC vol is actually the amp volume! THIS THING IS DOPE

audio enthusiasts switch to one of these roms and u will be delighted..

I seriously hope this comes to stock roms by our devs!!

Cons-1. Custom kernel so no gpay. 2.New DAC stuff isnt polished so it resets every now and then. 3.Proximity sensor doesnt work most times during call ( screen stays on when u take it near your ear)

Hi All

I have recently received s10+ from EE in the UK. I was told by person in store the 2nd sim would work on another network, but that is not the case and I am looking at returning the device as I need Vodafone sim to work in addition to EE.

2 questions..

1. If I were to find a third party site to unlock it, should I give them the 2nd sim IMEI or the 1st IMEI? (or whatever one I intend to use the Vodafone sim?)

2. Has anybody else done this with this phone? Any implications?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] daz_2000:
Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Corv0:
I thought EE wouldn't do such practices, it's 100% their responsibility for locking the second IMEI.

Go back in store and ask them to unlock your second IMEI as well, mention they failed their promise.

You have nothing to do with third party unlock sites, you never bought a locked phone and it is EE's responsibility to make sure they aren't locked.

Keep us updated.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] daz_2000:
So EE refused to unlock it before 6 months and said I could return it.

I went out to a third party via eBay who unlocked for me for £9.99 and now working perfectly. I gave them IMEI of first SIM. But works on 2nd sim too so all good.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] iuyals:
Fire are so cheap, that's great,but it's so slow even for normal task.

Long time ago,I have found the performance Bottleneck

Of fire is RAM,not CPU,at least for daily normal use like browser web.when I open more than 3 app like chrome videos music play store,the fire become so slow even get stuck, that's really bad.so the problem is It run out of RAM.it only has 1.7G ram for hd 10 and 1.4g for hd 7 or 8. That's really small today.here is solution I found , it's amazing efficient,really make your fire usable even you run many many apps simultaneously.

One word is "swap".

Swap can make you disk storage to be used as RAM,we know disk is slower than RAM,but as I have test, it's OK,you can do it. : )

First get your fire rooted

Next download a terminal I recommend termux,a powerful tool.

Open temux,now you can run many Linux command on you ,run following command:

su

dd if=/dev/zero of=swap bs=200m count=20

mkswap swap

swapon swap

you will creat 200m*20 about 3.5G ram,also,it takes up the same amount storage,but it worth.

to check if you turn on swap run follow command:

exit

free -m

You'll see you ram status include swap

if you dont ru su before,you dont need exit command beacause you are normal user

swap make big diff experience on you fire, now try it

i can run firefox snd chrome and many app at same time at a acceptable speed.amazing!!!

you will

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DB126:
Yes, adding a static swap file and adjusting 'swappiness' can make a huge difference in responsiveness, especially when multitasking and after wake from extended sleep when many apps attempt to resync. The file does not need to be large and can be placed in the cache partition if desired.

My recommendations:

- 256MB static swap file

- set swappiness to 10

- leave ZRAM swap intact if present

- (optional) set ZRAM priority higher than static file to favor ZRAM storage

Also no need to use obsecure terminal commands. The free app Apps2SD easily handed swap file creation and management.

Apples and oranges. Apps2SD is simply a tool that provides GUI for defining and managing static swap files. RAMExpander appears to do the same thing with predefined (and excessive IMO) values. ZRAM is a seperate beast that is best left alone unless one is familiar with Virtual Memory Management and the various interactions that take place between tuneables.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Oco:
Is this (attachment) ok?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DB126:
That works! Don't expect miracles. Still a low resource gizmo; reading/writting to static swap is magnitudes slower than memory based zram. But it does allow the OS to swap when needed without thrashing. Setting swappiness to 10 encourages the retention of processes in memory while reducing the chance of exhusting available swap space. If that happens the device will become a complete dog due to thrashing on slow file based swap; a reboot will fix things up.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Oco:
Thanks, is this the same for fire 8 and fire 7?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DB126:
Yep with caveats. Haven't messed with Fire 8 (2018) virtual memory as stock settings/performance are adequate for my current needs. Wake lag on the HD 8 is non-existent with my app portfolio which was the driver for adding a static swap file on the Fire 7. As a general rule I avoid turning knobs and dials unless there is a benefit that offsets the effort and potential side-effects.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TNSMANI:
Agreed. While I have no experience with other Fire tabs, the Fire 8 HD 2018 is way better than I expected after reading some of the threads in this forum. I have now disabled the major bloats but find no big difference in either speed or battery drain.
