Hi, I just freshly installed the 20200505 version of the ROM (after rooting, etc.) on an H830 that was formerly stock. Everything else seems to be working fine after following guidance in [MENTION=4579387]pedro1977[/MENTION]'s superhelpful post #136 in this thread. The only exception is that when I make or receive a call, the screen goes black, and there is no way to access it till the other person hangs up, or I plug something into the 3.5mm audio jack (which will turn the screen on instantly). I have done searching, and this seems to be a very common issue on other ROMs as well. But I have not found it mentioned in the previous 1212 postings in this thread. I will certainly work my way through the many other threads and resources that discuss the problem and propose different solutions. But for sure, this will take some time. So if somebody could point me in the right direction to start, it would probably save me a lot of time, and I would very much appreciate it! Thanks for any help you can provide!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
Install androsensor, clean the top above screen. Run your finger on and off the proximity sensor while androsensor is open to see if it detects the movement and then releases.

You may also want to try the Google phone app, remember to make it your default calling app/dialler too.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] verbage:
So I installed the AndroSensor app, and the proximity sensor is locked at 0.0 inches--it does not change or vary in value at all. So while that observation would suggest it is not working, in fact, yeah, it was just working under stock before swapping over to LOS16. So I do not think the proximity detector is truly defective, there is just something in this ROM that is either not recognizing or not letting it work correctly. But since nobody else is reporting it, it is probably just something on this particular phone :(

Also, I did add the Google phone app, too, but since the proximity sensor appears to not be working under this ROM, that does the same thing as the system phone app.

Thanks so much, [MENTION=4579387]pedro1977[/MENTION], for these suggestions! I will keep searching for a solution, and report back here if I find one. But in the meantime, if somebody else happens to have any thoughts about this, I'll be glad to hear them!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
Have you skipped installing 15.1??

Try a reboot and test again?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] verbage:
After rooting, etc., I did go to LOS16 originally, but then ran into issues with the camera. So I went to your posting #136 in the LOS17 thread (not this thread as I mistakenly said in my first posting about this), and followed through all the steps including starting off with LOS15 first. That cleared up the hardware hiccups I was experiencing with the camera! Unfortunately, I did not check the phone at that time...
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
There was someone else who had the same problem, when flashing back stock they flashed the wrong stock image and bricked the phone, so we never had a conclusion.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] verbage:
Ok, thanks for the suggestions. I will keep looking for a solution, and report back here either way. But I am kicking myself in the behind because I probably should have tested 100% of the functionality at each step starting with LOS15. But since the camera was the issue, and doing the whole LOS15-->LOS16 progression seemed to clear that up, I did not consider testing the proximity sensor.

In the long run, I may have to go back to LOS15, and start again... For folks in the same situation, don't do what I did!!! Test 100% of the hardware at each step before you move on, and spend time setting up your device!

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

Holy scheisse--I just figured it out--the problem was caused by a newly installed curved tempered glass screen protector that I just installed right after finishing up my LOS16 setup!!! It never occurred to me that it could be a problem, but after reading https://www.technobezz.com/fix-proximity-sensor-not-working-lg-g5/, I thought I'd give it a try--either lose $1.50 for the freshly installed protector, or lose all the time that would be required by going back to start with a LOS15-->LOS16 reinstall. So I chose the $1.50 loss option, and the gamble was successful. As soon as I removed the screen protector, AndroSensor instantly started registering distances, and, of course, the screen stopped blacking out during phone calls!!!

So here's some more advice to those who are potentially facing this problem--if you have you recently installed a curved tempered glass screen protector that physically covers the proximity sensor, try removing it! Here's the one that I used:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32845466357.html

Note that while it appears this particular model seems to have a hole/opening for the proximity sensor, it is not actually a physical hole--it is just clear, tempered glass with no black paint. If you were to get a curved tempered glass screen protector with a physical hole in it, this would probably not cause a problem.

Thanks again, [MENTION=4579387]pedro1977[/MENTION], for your initial very quick response with this!!!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
I was close when I said clean the top of the phone, as dirt and smudges will produce similar results. In addition to there being a hole, you have to ensure the hole is flush with the sensor, otherwise any overlapping would result in a permanent triggering of the sensor. Replacing a screen incorrectly can also cause sensor issues :good:
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] nvlicious:
Did u replace ur screen before? There's one thread about this problem in ifixit, turns out proximity rubber in previous screen didn't reattached. So the sensor gave the false positive value (always near).

Mine does have this problem too, whether it's on stock or custom rom.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] verbage:
Thanks for this suggestion. In turns out in my case that it was a freshly installed tempered glass screen protector that was causing the problem--the screen protector did not have a physical hole in the position of the proximity sensor, and it was interfering with that sensor. As soon as I removed this tempered glass screen protector, the proximity sensor started working normally again. Actually, let me correct that--the proximity sensor was always working normally--I unknowingly interfered with its ability to sense by installing the tempered glass screen protector. Anyway, if you happen to be in the same situation, i.e. using a tempered glass screen protector without a physical hole in it for the proximity detector, maybe remove the protector to see if it helps solve the problem? Good luck with this!

Odd error

See attached screenshot.

Anyone else gotten this random pop up [Verizon log in]? Two pop ups in all, the first is a generic error message clearly stating it is Verizon related, the second is the first image in screenshot below. Needless to say, I do not use Verizon, nor ever have.

I have the RS988 - upgraded from Lineage 14.1, only apps installed (other than nano gapps) include open camera, ring door bell and google maps.

Why would I be getting any kind of verizon message (I use AT&T)? Is it something in the build? Nonetheless, I removed it with systems app remover. Just curious where it came from. I don't recall any random acts of apping on my part. Not that it's not possible. Ha.

Thanks!

UPDATE:

Once home from work, went through apps and found these installed (see attached).

Attention: [MENTION=8097164]SeanGold[/MENTION], [MENTION=2881807]x86cpu[/MENTION], and others:

I wanted to follow-up on the old post about T-Mobile USA service issues with many LG devices.

T-Mobile USA's network maintenance and upgrades that were to complete by end of first quarter 2020 have generally completed. Unfortunately, problems experienced as SeanGold have not subsided and it appears that T-Mobile USA no longer works correctly of many LG devices as a result of the end of July 2019 or early August 2019 changes. Getting T-Mobile USA to fix it, or otherwise get LG Electronics to provide updates for better compatibility with T-Mobile USA, might require a bit of effort.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Ascii3:
There is a new XDA article about T-Mobile USA requiring VoLTE in the near future to be allowed to use its network. The article is available:

https://www.xda-developers.com/t-mobile-att-require-volte-phone-calls-shut-down-3g/

One wonders whether this is T-Mobile USA's response to the Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) failure issue with LTE on its network (started about the end of July 2019; I explained issue earlier but without the fallback's technical name).

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] wp007:
As far as I know, these are just system updates that leave your config and your apps untouched. But this is just a guess that has to be confirmed by the maintainer.

I've been using my own build of this rom for the last three days.

- Device: H830

- Clean install with pico gapps

- No root

- Fingerprints are saved normally, no issues (I repopicked Eric's fix)

- Ambient display not working Ambient display is working when new notifications appear, but brightness is so low that they can barely be seen. Wave and pick up gestures not working. Ambient settings not working (config > screen > advanced > ambient).

- Cannot get Netflix app from playstore (device not compatible error message). Downloaded from apk mirror, installed and had to switch selinux to permisive to avoid FC and login. After that I switched back to enforcing and everything works

- Automatic brightness not working

- Regular brightness must be set to around 90%. Otherwise it's too dark

- Pressing volume keys pops up multimedia volume (not sure if that's the expected behaviour)

- Some sensors won't work if I reboot the device pluged to the charger

- Unused native apps (so not tested): Trebuchet, phone, browser, calendar, clock, camera, keyboard

The overall experience has been more than acceptable considering it's the first build. I only miss IR (hope someday we can use it again).

Great work [MENTION=2881807]x86cpu[/MENTION]. Let me know if I can help you in any way.

Gcam port here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/google-camera-mods/cstark27-google-camera-mod-wide-angle-t3747263

It works well, but in low-light, I get these weird lines on the main camera. Wide angle and selfie cams are fine.

Has no one else received late notifications on texts, or is it just me?

I managed to install and use magisk with this rom. The "secret" is install magisk and moduls on 15.1 and then dirty flash to 16.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
You can install magisk at any time, it isnt necessary before dirty flashing it. IN fact when i flashed masgisk before dirty flashing it didnt work.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] golan101:
Personally, I tried to install magisk like 3 times on this ROM, and each time I end in a boot loop,

I even tried to clean install this ROM and then install magisk but it doesn't work for me,

(On the 15.1 I installed it and it worked)

But I can live without it so for now it's ok.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Nedkoff:
When I install magisk directly on los16 my fingerprint doesn't work. For now this is the only way to use magisk don't know why but its a fact.

why the volume sometimes doesn't respond or hangs after a few minutes.

Edite: problm solved . change launcher trebucket . n Work fine.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mikekote666:
Which version of Magisk were you trying to install?

1)-Cause if you were trying to install V-19 it bootloops for some people it's caused of patched boot.img

2)-You should try installing Magisk 18.1 and then after first boot up go back to recovery and flash 19(without any magisk modules at first).

3)-Always have the uninstaller Zip of magisk on your SD it may be needed in the process if the previous steps don't work.Run uninstaller and install an earlier stable version

Im using magis v18. To install it. Install magis 18 from twrp. Then reboot device. Then install manual magisk manager. Take ot from zip file magisk 18...... For me its work fine.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
Fingerprint wasn't working or being remembered for anyone. On some flashes it wont let you add any at all or a pin but this is a bad flash, notification settings will also be forgotten in this instance. Flash again if this happens. I still can't get Google assistant going. In 15.1 they both had a g icon on this one Google has a g icon and assistant the colored dots. Maybe an integration of the two apps issue.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] golan101:
I didn't flash 19,

I tried 18.1 and I just got a boot loop every time I tried
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
After screwing up my install; thinking my phone was hard bricked; buying a replacement LG G5[1]; managing (barely) to unbrick the original; and installing 15.1, then 16 on the replacement (now "testing"), I finally got 16 installed on the original (with my alterations). Fingerprints transferred okay. Most other data retained okay. Trebuchet settings gone, but no big deal. Looks good so far.

[1] I thought about using this as an excuse to replace the G5 with something else, but phones with easily changeable battery, removeable storage, headphone socket, easily unlocked, etc., are pretty thin on the ground. I would rather stick with the G5.

What did you do to almost brick your device? Might want to elaborate so someone else doesn't do the same thing
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
Happy to oblige. I explained the initial problem in post #105 of this thread. It was probably due to building the ROM while not having the correct vendor blobs. x86cpu has since helped me with that. What I should have done was to install x86cpu's ROM and extract the blobs from that. Indeed, the build instructions say that one should get blobs from a working lineage ROM. I had simply failed to take into account the significance of blobs when moving from 15.1 to 16 with my own build. An error on my part, but not a huge one.

Then, to compound my error, instead of restoring from nanoid backup in TWRP, which was available, and which I had done once, I played silly buggers with the misc partition by blanking the first bit of it to get out of the loop. All this did was to get me into a partial boot loop, one in which I couldn't even get into recovery.

(NOTE: What I did to misc is different from the instructions for restoring MAC linked to on the first pages of this thread. I have used those instructions in the past and they work well.)

Indeed, my mistake resulted in a loop even when trying to get into LGE download mode to re-install stock. It got into download mode, stayed for 15 seconds, then rebooted. I got out of that eventually by using LGUP and using the time the phone was in the LGE download part of the loop to move things along. Loop 1 was for getting the device recognized. Loop 2 was for picking the image for downloading. Loop3 was for starting the download. Once the download was actually started, it stayed in download mode, and installed the image. Although it would install images, I had to find an older one to get it to boot. [1]

I generally don't do something unless I have a reasonably good idea of what the results are going to be. The messing with the misc partition (blanking the beginning of it) wasn't like that. It was an astonishing expression of silliness.

Best wishes,

Bob

[1] What made this even trickier is that I had to use my wife's Windows laptop, install LGUP on it, etc. I've been using my own computer since 1981 (Kaypro II), but I've never had a Windows machine, so I'm not very good with Windows.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
I had the problem earlier and disable the Google app solved it, it may be caused by Google and Google assistant integrating. I assume you flashed nano or higher??? Another option is to set the assist app to none. I assume you set it to Google before the problem began occuring, right??? It may right it self eventually, it did for me in 15.1 but no guarantees, can't remember how I got it working in 15.1 but I don't remember it freezing in that rom. If your on the home screen, the status bar disappears when you try activate voice match, (if assist app is set to Google) and then it turns back off after 30 seconds.

Sure thing. Everybody knows this is beta.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
It may be beta, but it seems to have superpowers. A problem that I thought was independent of particular ROMs was fixed by this one.

The music app I use, poweramp, does bluetooth pause/unpause in a strictly correct way. Many bluetooth headphones and speakers seem to implement pause/unpause in a sloppier way. (This is what was said, at least.) On 15.1 using the lineage player would allow them to pause/unpause, but they wouldn't when using poweramp. However, to my surprise, on 16.0 pause/unpause works even using power amp.

Reread my post (I've updated it) and let me know after (not before) you have disabled voice assist if the hanging still occurs. I'm interested to know if you have the same problem as me and why it's just our phones. Maybe something to do with the misc partition problem I had before.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] giaur:
How could it be related to voice assist? Voice assist has nothing to do with lock screen or fingerprint. Voice assist never runs while unlocking phone (at least for me, unlock by "OK Google" when screen is off is even not supported in my language). Most often lock screen bug occurs after screen go black after timeout (not screen off by pressing button).
