[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Troll much?? Nothing wrong with suggesting a rom. You say it depends on the user. But not entirely. Some might be more stable , some may have bugs etc etc. Get a life man

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

And my answer....any rom I run krisakura kernel with. Its stable and you get good battery life...imo gives you the smoothest experience too.

I would say scorpion has the most customisation but stable. AOSIP has a lot of customisation but not as much as scorpion, but again is stable and with good battery.

DU has less customisation again but again very stable and smooth. haven't tried dotOS as I believe it doesn't support the pixel stand or the squeeze feature yet.

Really you can't go wrong with scorpion, AOSIP or DU. but it depends on what customisation tweaks you like. For example scorpion has different fonts baked in where as AOSIP or DU doesn't. Or AOSIP has the new battery icon from Android q. Etc etc.

Hope that helps a little lol

Forgot to mention aqua OS is good too with a good amount of customisation.

Also if you like updates I would say the most frequently updated rom is AOSIP

Scorpion or DU.... I used to swear by DU, but have been on Scorpion for the last two months. It has a few extra features that are absent in DU, but its not overloaded with features.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] NepoRood:
Scorpion is based off DU, we took that great ROM and added in the features we wanted without sacrificing all the things that make DU great. Gotta say, I'm looking forward to what can be done when Q drops :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Spl1tz:
I have limited time and internet data for testing as i'm abroad. Is there a difference in Battery life between Full stock, Stock ROM with custom kernel, Custom ROM and Android Q?

I'm on Stock + Kirisakura kernel + Universal GMS Doze but i have not been impressed with Battery life. Just today went to work 5 hours, only used PowerAmp for music for 2h30min. I started off 92 battery and its gone to 67% in 6 hours with 9 hours left to go. I've a feeling it can be better?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] WilfridSeph:
Last week I rooted my V30. All well. I spent the last few days installing various apps, cleaning bloatware, changing themes, updated to the latest stock ROM, and so forth.

Today I installed ES File Explorer, because I heard somewhere on this forum that it was very good. After a while I was playing around with it the app crashed, slowing down my phone until I finally managed to access it. I thought to myself "nope", and uninstalled the app. After that tho, many more apps were giving me "the app has crashed" message straight after I opened them. Tried clearing their cache, no change.

I thought, well ****, this is no good, I'll just wipe everything and restart. And so I did. Reboot to TWRP, wipe, reboot.

And now I'm stuck. Because at the WELCOME TO TO YOUR LG-H930 Android set up page (right after you input your wirless network), as I choose "Set up as new", the phone gives me an UNFORTUNATELY GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES HAS STOPPED message. And so I cannot go further.

I can reboot to TWRP, I even tried a complete format, no change. I just can't go past this set up page.

Any help please?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Reboot to TWRP, restore one of the backups you made before doing all this. It's in the sticky notes, but it shouldn't have to be. One of the main reasons to have TWRP custom recovery is to make/restore backups.

Thanks. Turns out I did have one backup to restore. I'm not sure when I made that (probably when I was doing the rooting procedure?), but I'm trying now and I'll see what happens.

Umm, the situation has now worsened. I did the TWRP restore of some backup from a week ago. Now when i reboot the phone i get the black screen with only RESTART or POWER OFF selectable with the volume up/down buttons. And If i select RESTART, i just go back to this same screen....
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Ouch.

Wipe in TWRP, flash stock TWRP-flashable zip + Magisk for your variant? Then reboot.

(What variant do you have?)

Transfer the files over in TWRP from PC, if you don't have already on your internal Download folder.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] WilfridSeph:
OK, so I need some help because I'm losing my mind. I managed to reflash the ROM from scratch, and begin anew. But I have the feeling that something is off still. I think that the stuff I remove with Titanium is causing instability.

For example (this is already attempt number 4 btw), I have removed with Titanium only the bare minimum (carrier apps, google apps I don't use, Facebook and Amazon -- nothing I am not sure what it does). But now every single FB-replacement app I download and the new amazon shopping app i re-downloaded crash as soon as I open them. Every single one (Metal, Friendly, Frost, Maki....). Every other app works fine, so I think it has something to do with me removing FB with Titanium. But why??

What can I safely remove with Titanium without messing up everything?

EDIT: so I opened every single app i have and all work except the FB ones, the Amazon one, and for some reason the HD audio recorder. It says "Terms of Use for LG apps keeps stopping". I had similar problems many many times, forcing me to wipe everything and re-flash the ROM from scratch. What am I doing wrong??
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
In Titanium Backup, let's freeze the apps you don't like, instead of removing them. They won't run, they won't show up in apps drawer. And removing them from stock doesn't really reclaim user space for you as they are installed in system space. So, let's freeze them. (Yes, I know how to turn user apps into system apps and vice versa, but let's not go there.)

Point is, we're trying to solve your problem which I suspect is related to the tight integration in stock firmware.

When FREEZING, instead of bluntly removing, let's see if you get the same errors or not.

Stuff is so tightly integrated nowadays you can often cause lag and errors by removing something. The system still tries to look for it before moving on, or throwing up an error message. The most people who complain about lag are the one using that silly ADB remove app/list, where they removed stuff that regulates the Always On Display or that allows Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE. At least for the US998, LG optimized the heck out of the stock firmware and I have no lag. (Dev [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] says he sees a difference in the stock US998 and the T-mobile H932; that T-mobile H932 has more lag.)

But it's not like the old days where you can cleanly remove a "package" (app) and nothing else is affected nor even Samsung Touchwiz where their interface is laggy as heck.

Anyway freeze the apps, see if you get the error messages. The placeholders are still there, so the system may not think it's "missing" something. At worst, you may have to unfreeze a couple that are necessary.

By the way, what variant do you have? What TWRP-flashable zip are you using? I'm curious about the carrier apps.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] WilfridSeph:
Alright, I'll try freezing (I'll have to get the Donate version of Titanium tho).

I'm on a H930. Italian carrier. About 6 or 7 apps preinstalled.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
And you are using the latest H930 TWRP flashable zip?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] WilfridSeph:
Well, I did the whole procedure no longer than 10 days ago, and followed the WTF guide here. So whatever was linked/attached to in that post at that time. Is that not ok?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Right. I am not chastising you in any way.

But WTF makes you downgrade to early Oreo to unlock bootloader. You can then update back to newest firmware via TWRP flashable zip. Some people get too eager to go do other things they forget about that.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/h930-lg-v30-european-market-h930-t3779076

You may be using year-old firmware was my concern. This is especially problematic for people then trying to flash AOSP/Linage custom ROMs.

I was just asking if you were using the newest TWRP flashable zip. If you are, fine. If not, I would suggest looking at the instructions on how to update to newest (which was just released a couple days ago).

There's been lots of fixes and improvement in the past year (camera, DTS Surround Sound, etc). It may also be contributing to your problems over on the system space apps. Can't hurt to have newest firmware and can only help.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] WilfridSeph:
Hey, thanks a lot, I didn't mean to seem snappy! Yes of course, after the WTF system I updated to the latest version as found here: https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/h930-lg-v30-european-market-h930-t3779076 (being careful to flash the two previous ones, then the most recent one, and then Magisk, as you explain there).

This is what you mean, yes?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes.

And there's even a very new one from a couple days ago. ;)

Solved by turn off "Ambient Display" in Hovoc Settings.

There's someone's replicated thread but without help: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/help/youtube-notification-screen-off-t3919908

I exactly have the same problem, I called them "Notification Preview".

I want the notifications to be shown while the screen is ON, but they come out automatically while the screen is OFF.

Especially when Titanium Backup is running, every time it refreshes the notification (Backup Progress), it shows up.

Note: The notifications preview happens under Screen Off status, so when I press Power Button once, the phone enters Lockscreen.

https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/help/bloat-free-firmware-930u-tried-t3428974

Would that mean my phone now supports the expanded LTE bands of the SM-G930U phone? I would assume flashing the CP part would include the new modem frequencies.

If your phone is carrier unlocked, it will use the bands used by your carrier. So yes, it supports all the LTE bands that come with the S7.

My p9 lite, no root, is still on l31c432b160 firmware version and I would like to upgrade it at latest l31c432b416.

I found a 'service firmware' on androidhost.ru/41d

Has anyone already tried?

Thanks a lot and regards
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Hi remogio, :)

really i don't think you can directly upgrade from B160 to B416

but sincerely never tried that. If stock updater doesn't work

you can use Firmware Finder app to force the upgrade to android 7

and the update to latest firmware.

Read THIS whole thread (already posted ), it's exactly the same situation as you.

Some video on YT are present too.

Good luck ;)

As far as im tracking right now there is no TWRP recovery image of the LG G8 ThinQ. I read This Post, and This Post, but didn't test it yet. If anyone rooted it, please let me know.

I have AT&T model. It has the option to enable OEM unlock. The phone is network locked to AT&T.

I have found This One but skeptical to actually try it out.

Despite the fact that Enable OEM Unlock is an option in Developer Options, when I try to boot into the bootloader, it is unsuccessful. Apparently LG has blocked access to the bootloader on this, as well as other phones.

Hope to make this thread as a collection of reviews and Q&A for various screen protectors. Noticed several reviews for some before the device was even released. Hopefully this thread helps others and a way for you to share your experiences.

OMOTON 4-pack

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NXZP7PG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pros:

Covers the whole display (left to right)

No halo or rainbow effect

Leaves enough gap for a case

CHEAP (includes 4)

Cons:

Peeling the dust remove sticker was a pain.

Doesn't cover class between camera and earpiece

Other thoughts:

the glass is quite thin. Less than .33mm which is the norm. Probably will make it not so durable when drops and possibly easier to crack. But nice as it doesnt feel sharp or large on the display

This glass is a precise fit, so be careful on installation. Good thing if you mess up, there are additional ones. .5mm left/right or up/down probably will cause a halo affect for that edge

The results:

- https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NXZP7PG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Never bought this brand before but it worked perfectly on the first one. The 3a XL's display seems to be much flatter than the 2xl and 3xl which were a nightmare with putting on glass screen protectors. So happy to not have one with a black border around it again!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::good::good:
[Google Pixel 3a XL Accessories] Caebron:
I just installed these and will be returning them to Amazon for a refund. The pack includes two shield, and while I was able to work out any trapped airbubbles by pushing them towards the edge of the screen, and any remaining small bubbles disappeared over night, they always leave an airbubble at one or more of the edges. It looks as if you could slide a fingernail underneath - which you can't so it's just this long elongated airbubble that makes it look as if it isn't sticking at the edge of the screen.

Ordered myself a Zagg this time - I will report back on how it works.

I also used the Omotion 4 pack,,,it covers about the same as most and fingerprints are not as noticeable as they are on some others.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Accessories] stinger4321:
3 pack I picked up. super smooth bonded pretty well. Thick so should be decent protection. though it barely covers left and right of actual screen area. not sure how much wider it could go because of the curved edges of display.

I got the LK as an interim. They are certainly not bad, but I'd like something with a more complete coverage and also less sharp and thick edges. For my OnePlus 6 I had protectors from ******* that were decent...but not perfect either. I hope we'll get good one for the Pixel soon...

[Google Pixel 3a XL Accessories] poncespr:
TekRoot 4 pack from ebay

Pros: perfect cut, resist smudges well, easy to apply, full glue, work well with a case, dirt cheap.

Cons; Halo around the border due to glue, maybe not enough of it, or bad quality.. other than that, for $2.25 a piece in package of 4 with shipping included, I can live with the borders not completely adhering to the screen.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Accessories] BeakerBen:
I was happy with the CASEVASN screen protectors. Not sure why it's reviewed so poorly.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R4HC87D/

I don't like the notch on the OMOTON and prefer the cutouts. It has basically zero room for error, but I eventually got it lined up perfectly with the sticky tab hinges, and it has plenty of space on the sides for a case. No bubbles or distortion.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Accessories] xxBrun0xx:
Got my replacement Zagg, the screen feels really nice and there are NO fingerprints at all. But there's no room for error on the install and the thing that's meant to help line it up sucks, way too easy for the protector to get underneath it. Because of the huge gaps on the sides, it's almost impossible to install properly. I'd stick with a full adhesive black boarder protector, definitely not worth $40.

Edit: after just a few minutes of use, the phone is covered with fingerprints. Again, would not recommend.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Looks like a ton of fake reviews on Amazon, doesn't give me the warm fuzzies. Have any pictures of it installed? I don't understand how it could have black boarder and be case friendly. I'm looking for something not case friendly, doesn't seem to be many options
[Google Pixel 3a XL Accessories] jsanta11:
Am with you on that, I just purchase and test, I don't trust most Amazon reviews cause like you mentioned plenty of fakeness, but yes it has the black borders and case friendly, once am home I will upload pics.

Black border

[Google Pixel 3a XL Accessories] xxBrun0xx:
Just ordered, looks great. Thanks for sharing!

Update: just received. Much easier to install than the Zagg due to the edges getting much closer to the edges of the phone. The cutouts are so precise you can line the whole thing up based on them. It might cut off a few pixels on the sides, but overall I'm very impressed. Fingerprint resistance seems to be MUCH better than the Zagg. Don't waste $40, buy this!

Update 2: have noticed this screen protector actually hurts screen quality pretty noticeably. Not sure why, but in some apps (especially apps with lots of white), it's VERY annoying
