Hello, the current LOS16.0 is very nice. One issue I noticed is the noise of Music app. When I play a music file with this pre-installed app, the sound is with full of noise. Once pause the sound, then restart playing. Then the sound is very clean. If I switch to other music file, same thing happens. Log attached for this procedure.

Encryption works here. Do you have the 20p bootloader stack? what modem version ? 20p? 29a?
[G4 Android Development] 4ngl09669:
Good evening, I try again to ask why I can't understand (sorry). I upgraded to LOS 16 directly starting from the MM official. Currently there do not seem any problems, but I had to pass for official N before this ROM?
[G4 Android Development] 4ngl09669:
Goodmorning, I update at latest Rom (20191217), bit the Smartphone stays on the LOS boot screen...

PS.Merry Christmas!

[RESOLVED] I also reset the System and data partition, now it goes normally.
[G4 Android Development] masemoel:
I am getting some soft reboots at random moments (1 per day).

The phone suddenly shuts down, as if the phone locks automatically. When I try to turn on, the phone keeps in a gray screen for about 5 seconds and then the phone works again, but SIM is not detected (reboot again to work as before is required).

Never happened me that before in another rom or even in previous LOS builds.

Will the pstore work then? I don't know how to log this ...

And yes, I've tried the setenforce permissive
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
no pstore helps for full kernel crashes only..

Write down the exact time including seconds when that happens and grab a log like that:

adb logcat -t '01-26 20:52:41.000'

Replace the time with the one where the issue occured ofc. 01-26 means 26th of January so replace that with the correct date as well ofc. Always write .000 at the end .

Share as usual over a paste service

My only problem with the current version is the graphical bug of the Google search app when swiping up and down on the list.
[G4 Android Development] sperelli:
similiar to the one i have when swiping down whatsapp contact list before a forwarding

Read the bullet point about skiaGL

https://xdaforums.com/g4/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3929082/post81227817

Report back if that fixes your issue and it would be great if you can share a video of the graphical bug.
[G4 Android Development] xda_maddogdean:
Awesome!!!

^^ Need to do that too. I'll try over the next couple days.

steadfasterX, I just have to give a big thanks. Running Pie on my good, old H815 is awesome. It runs fast, smooth, and "eleven 9's" of glitch free experience. I dropped a few € your way to pay for your server.

One suggestion for anyone that frees themselves of Google-crap, do what I did.

Flash the ROM, flash SuperUser, flash Google crapware.

Go to the Play store and install all your favorite apps.

Use a File manager (I use FTPDroid and FileZilla on the PC) to pull the apk's (from /data/apps) to an SD card

Reflash only the ROM & SuperUser

Install the apk's from the SD card.

Now you have all your favorite apps without any Google non-sense. Of course, some programs will NOT run with Google's spyware installed, but you can always find alternatives.

You're new lease of life to my LG G4 is a great way to ring in 2020. Happy New Year to all! :D
[G4 Android Development] Over567:
Thanks steadfasterX and sorry I tried to upload a video but couldn't upload it here and I'm not home at the moment but I will provide one and try that you linked. Also thanks for your all years hard work and anyone who helps running this and any rom here. I mean this phone would been in a drawer really deep with some old phones if there's not you. Thanks!
[G4 Android Development] xda_maddogdean:
I see this on a few other apps as well. With the Nova Launcher, if the app list is set to "List" (alphabetical list), the bottom of the screen has the "up" bulge and the last entry doesn't redraw properly.

I'll have to play with skiaGL over the holidays.

Cheers
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Glad you like it and thanks for your guide and donation ofc.

Your guide will help someone in the future a lot.

no worries forget about that. just try the property setting I mentioned. It will likely fix it but the rendering might be slower in general then.

The problem with this is that I cannot fix skiaGL , this has to be done upstream and so you might have the choice of the 2 only atm: Either living with the glitches or without but with a slightly slower rendering.

[G4 Android Development] ironil:
Sorry for the delay in the answer: crazy days with christmas and all that.

Thank you for the answer. I checked and it seems I am on V20o firmware. Can I simply flash one 20p/29a with TWRP, or should I then wipe and flash the ROM again?

Thanks for the help
[G4 Android Development] Over567:
So in short OpenGL or Skia.
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
you can use the TWRP install files but you have to do a full clean flash of the ROM afterwards .For details on that see faq

Yes

Hi,

How i can return my LG4 for original firmware - H81520o_00_0402

I got this version now

lineage-16.0-20191217-UNOFFICIAL-h815.zip

Thanks

I try with LGUp but i dont this message - you have to select a know model, please
[G4 Android Development] masemoel:
Ensure that you have all the required drivers.

Are you a UsU user?
[G4 Android Development] trx11:
I think i got all drivers because the software catch the LG G4 but in model it show Unknow....

I unlock my bootloader in offcial site and i got TWRP install...

I like return to original because i got a lot of bugs in this version the same in 15 version, when i use camera lg4 reboot, the battery fly and is a new battery... So i got 2 option - Return to Original or a Stabel version from LineageOS

Thanks for all support
[G4 Android Development] Over567:
There is a big mess over there at you I think. I never had something like that you said with my G4 and the battery is ok too so it's definitely something you did wrong or something.
[G4 Android Development] ironil:
Flashed updated firmware and everything else, and the phone is running fine and encrypted, thank you very much and sorry for the trouble!
[G4 Android Development] trx11:
Yes maybe something is wrong with my phone maybe.

Can you tell me how i can do a full clean and than a clean install?

I do a wipe for all things show in TWRP and than install the last image....

Thanks
[G4 Android Development] Over567:
Im just followed the guides and instructions of steadfasterX and the others of this forum. Also he has a really nice guide on how to do a full clean install which I always do when I install a new version so you should definitely look for that.
[G4 Android Development] yobooh:
I have the same, I bet that is VSYNC related
[G4 Android Development] Over567:
steadfasterX said he can't fix it so it's run away or live it it issue. Honestly I have to stay no matter what because if I'm on OpenGL one of my games that I play for 2 years now regulary freeze on loading screen like 6/10 times.
[G4 Android Development] florin0x01:
I'm a dev but newbie in ROM building.

Can you provide some steps to build and flash my own image, based on whatever is the most adequate combo (kernel + patches - Titan Kernel LG G4 (?), stock ROM - Lineage / android open source project etc) ?

Thanks a lot !
[G4 Android Development] sdembiske:
As a 'dev', I'm sure you know how to read and use the search functions that XDA provides. Read the first post thoroughly, again, if you didn't in the first place, and you will find some clues. Search XDA for How-To's on building custom roms and Lineage in particular. I.e., "Seek and ye shall find", eh?
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
The build manifest is in the first post. I also put together a guide (https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/guide-how-to-build-unsupported-rom-t3844972) a few years ago for building ROMs unofficially - it's a bit more in-depth than we need here as we already have the manifest but it explains how it all goes together
[G4 Android Development] 4ngl09669:
Hello, I have a question. To get V29, is it enough for me to flash LG-H815_Official_v29A_keepsTWRP-LAF.zip through TWRP?

will this give me better performance with ROM?
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
That would be fine, but it is the full v29a ROM (and will overwrite your current install)

Edit: fine assuming your device is officially unlocked. Do NOT flash if you have a UsU'd device

As for performance, as far as I am aware (unless it's changed recently), the wrong bootloader version can introduce instabilities but will not make the rom any faster when it works. (When I used my G4 daily, I kept it on v20 and had no issues, but your mileage may vary)
[G4 Android Development] 4ngl09669:
I understand, I will have to install Rom + Gapps + Magisk again ... But will the bootloader remain unlocked? Is there a .zip file only of the v29 flashable via TWRP?

Yes, I have the official unlock

I understand, so I shouldn't notice any improvements

But, will I just need to flash the .zip file without doing anything else?
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
As you have the official bootloader unlock, it should not relock your device.

Yes you will simply need to flash the zip and it should update your firmware to v29a.

As for the different zips, [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] has them all on his server along with a description at the top explaining the pros and cons of each
[G4 Android Development] 4ngl09669:
OK thank you very much.

Is there a file that only installs V29a (without official Rom) via twrp? I haven't modded on a device for long, sorry for stupid questions!
[G4 Android Development] ThePiGuy:
It's been a while for me too so I can't quite remember.

They are all here ( http://leech.binbash.rocks:8008/stock/LG/h815/ ) though and there is a description at the top detailing what each does
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
http://leech.binbash.rocks:8008/stock/LG/h815/29a/

;)
[G4 Android Development] 4ngl09669:
Steadfasterx, since you're the creator of everything, does v29a really bring improvements? Furthermore, is it possible to install only the v29a, without having to also install the stock Rom? Is there a guide? Thank you
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
the short answer is : No.

this version comes with a bad fastboot mode as you can not use some flashing and boot commands anymore. The download mode itself is bad as well because SALT does not work with it when it comes to flashing. Other than that there is absolutely no improvement known by flashing this version . And always keep in mind that we talk about an unofficial beta release. I would always recommend the latest marshmallow and if you want to try out any

Improvement the modem partition of 29a only.

If you still want to go that way ;

yes it is possible and as [MENTION=8699949]ThePiGuy[/MENTION] told you already everything is described at my download page. So go to the link I have posted read at the top carefully , find what you need and flash it in TWRP. Simply as that. That's why there is no guide .
[G4 Android Development] 4ngl09669:
Thank you, but then I continue on MM ... I would like to ask you, in the most humble way possible, will you make an Android 10 ROM?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
70% is working already but no release until the serious issues haven't been fixed (as usual the last percentages takes the most time.. / are the hardest to fix).

follow the process here if you like: https://github.com/Suicide-Squirrel/issues_a10/issues

[G4 Android Development] masemoel:
Today that issue happened again.

Here is the logcat: https://paste.omnirom.org/view/d816c7db

(crash starts at 17:26:57.022).

One thing I would like to highlight is that, after the crash, the SIM didn't work (the PIN was not requested), so I had to reboot the phone and then it worked at normal.

Thanks again for all your effort in this phone.
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
thx

I hope it isn't too late (as tombstones might get overwritten) but also share this one:

boot to TWRP

ensure userdata is mounted in the mount menu

adb pull /data/tombstones/tombstone_45
[G4 Android Development] 4ngl09669:
THX, You are the best!!

These days I am using your Rom daily (my mate 10 pro has abandoned me ...), together with the GApps, I have noticed several small problems:

1) I notice enough app reloads (a bit all, from Chrome to WhatsApp, email etc.) when I use multitasking

2) I put an increased battery (6500mha of PowerBear, therefore a good brand) but the software continues not to recognize it well, it brings me, after a long use at a percentage of 5% and so it remains for several hours of use, until the battery does not run out ... Using Accubattery I have seen how well the battery works, charging and discharging all the amps

3) the basic Launcher is not the best, there is some small lag, and several reloads. I have had good improvements using Nova Laucher

4) opening the apps is sometimes a little too long

5) It is a bit difficult to find a working Gcam, but, there are some, how about adding a link to a working Gcam to the initial post of this page, so everyone can have it without clogging the forum? I can tell you what I'm currently using, no problem

For the rest, the device is very stable, and low in energy, you have done a really excellent job !! I am infinitely grateful to you!
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
yea I have added: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79502872&postcount=3

to EVERYONE here:

feel free to submit your favorite apps including a short description

why

and I will add it to the list (likely)

.-
[G4 Android Development] ironil:
Thanks for the list. I see it contains Magisk: do you recommend it, then, despite what you say in the FAQ about no support?

I remember some time ago the best camera app for the G4 was the default one, I think because it had some blobs which couldn't be reverse-engineered nor had the code available. I take this has been solved. Is the google camera worth it, then? Despite being Google? I suppose I can negate it network access, will it still be worth it?

Thanks!
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
That are all user recommendations.. I generally do not recommend to root (regardless by which method) as it can cause serious issues (security, performance, crashes and more).

personally I use Magisk but I do not use any magisk module (HERE is the biggest potential for bad things happening to your device).

the proprietary blobs are still (!) in use regardless of which camera app you take. some cam's just have more settings and features.

the q if something is worth it, is 95% a very personal decision. Everyone has his own priorities and needs. just try and decide for yourself ;)

[G4 Android Development] 4ngl09669:
Steadfasterx, I noticed another bug, I opened the messages app and I noticed that the contacts are not seen, but only the phone numbers creating a great mess (but it is also true that in 2020 I believe that almost nobody uses messages anymore..!)...

My G4 H815 only works with 4 cores. I am on officially unlocked stock ROM right now (v29a with a security patch from 2017).

In order for me to use this PIE ROM I would need specially crafted TWRP, I tried with the current twrp-3.3.1-PREVIEW-207_g4_P.img and it boot loops. Is it possible to have 4-cores TWRP (and 4-cores boot image) somehow in order to use this ROM? Thanks!
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
The latest available ILAPO twrp version is for O (http://leech.binbash.rocks:8008/TWRP/ILAPO-O/) .

simply build your own 4-cores twrp (download latest TWRP P image and follow the guide) and

your own boot image (extract boot.img of the latest LOS ROM zip and follow the guide):

[G4 Android Development] drottin:
lineage 16 failed

I usu'd H815TR, then installed Los 16 and gapps but it never booted. After some time it kept returning to recovery (twrp). tried different modems never worked. Then I installed Los 15.1. Interestingly it booted up properly but experienced some problems with googple play but managed to sort it out. couldnt understand why 16 fails but 15 works.
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Dunno.

Do not flash gapps. If it boots then (it should 100%) flash older gapps.

If it does not boot without gapps then you haven't installed the 20p bootloader stack .
[G4 Android Development] jovanv:
So far so good with the 4 cores boot and twrp, flashed lineage 16.0 and it boots. If anyone is interested I can make the boot and twrp images available.

But no luck with installing gapps. What do you mean by "older gapps"? v8.0 or v9.0 but from November-December? I tried different versions (pico, nano) of 9.0 and also a version I had from 20191217, but same no success.

In your wi-fi settings screen, first select the "add wifi" option. Put in your WiFi SSID and below, you will be able to toggle advanced options. "Hidden network" is one of them.

Phone died after installing this rom (please help)

I installed the room sucessfully. Everything worked for like 2 hours. Then I connected my bluetooth headphones, I was listening music using the built in music player. The phone turned off and It wont boot into system again. I went into twrp and tried reinstalling the room. It booted for like 10 seconds then turned off again. After several attepmts with this and other custom roms, I decied to go back to my stock back up using twrp. I did not work and it keeps doing the same.

I havent had time to try, but I want to ask for a method to restore my back up (the one I made with salt) so I can go back to what I had right after applying the USU.

My variant is the US991.

I have a problem, but I don't know if it's the ROM or the micro SD.

I have a 64 GB micro SD with 4 years on my shoulders. It has never been lightning, but it has always worked. Now I have just mounted it on this smartphone, but when I try to move over a file (photos, videos, mp3), the process is successful, so I go to the file folder, but this has a size of 0 bytes, and does not open.

I did the sd tests with different apps, and they show me that it works, I wrote 1 Gb with a writing speed of about 20mb / s, and reading about 40 mb / s. I have tried to format it several times, but nothing.

Do you also have problems with the micro sd?

But why don't you use the "recorder" app included in the ROM?
[G4 Android Development] Dred65:
Cheers

'Recorder app'? I dont see it on my stock android lg g4. There is voice recorder. The mobizen app can record only internal audio not also mic audio. If you play a YouTube video for example, and use the average audio record app, you will record the music yes but also the mic, therefore on playback you will hear all the background noise of your place. Mobizen has a feature where it only records internal audio no mic. Assuming thats what you did to confirm yes it works.

I don't speak of stock Rom, but, the LineageOS ROM . This is the icon of the app.
