I don't know if this solution works. But if you have bootloader unlock code, you may try it. But first, find a method to backup your original oeminfo.

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] NJ72:
I know that the P30 uses harmonic vibration through the screen to generate the sound for the earpiece speaker, but I'm wondering if there might be a way to enable and potentially force stereo mode?

The volume is quite loud on the earpiece speaker system, so it would be beneficial if it could be enabled...
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] jurosh:
This might be really great feature - even if phone would be vibrating a bit I would like having this. Ofc as optional feature with toggle button in quick access panel.

Hope this feature request might get it's way to the Huawei.

This is my review of the lg v20 in 2019. It has received positive feedback on Telegram and Reddit, so I decided to post it here as well. I'm going to try to keep updating this as I go with my current mods.

The article will hopefully be updated again next week addressing the current constructive criticism I have received.

Hope this helps someone out.

Hi, nice post. Just what I was looking for as I am about to acquire a V20, a Korean version and I'm looking to mod it like my G5 with everything possible :). First question - your article has a link to something to mod the secondary screen but the link is dead. Could you say what was the mod and is it still available?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] C D:
That paid app, BoredSigns, has been discontinued and taken off the Play store since the developer no longer owns a V20. Its weather widget has been broken for a while, so don't expect that part to work. I have attached a screenshot of the developer's message on the Play store listing which you can only see if you already had the app installed earlier. You can still build the app yourself from its source on GitHub if interested.

I just bought a F800 model on ebay for very little which has a cracked screen and other minor problems. I'm not sure if it's F800 L or K or S yet and I won't know until I receive it. In any case I'm in europe and I'm hoping to do the works, root it, twrp it etc and maybe put a european software version on it. I'm not sure in what order I should go about this, would you have an opinion.? Should I root and twrp it first or should I kdz a different firmware first and then root it? As I write this I suppose it's logical to root it first, it couldn't make changing firmware version more difficult I suppose. Any thoughts appreciated. I'm totally new the phone so not sure what's possible.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] C D:
I'm not familiar with the Korean variants, but I think this general thread on the F800 models should help you get started. The later pages in there will give you an idea of other users' recent activities.

What do you want me to talk about or clarified.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] henrylar:
Thank you very much for this, it is very helpful to have it all together. In the light of this, I believe that it would be helpful if you advice people a bit about rooting, not the very basic, but what one need to be aware of, possible pitfalls in the process.

Partly because of your nice recommendations I have now rooted my V20 and installed most of your recommendations. Until now everything is fine:)

Nope that's incredible, how long were u running the test?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Salvaparalyzer:
I just changed test settings from 15 min to 10. I left everything else as it is. (number of threads: 20)

It also surprised me, because I've had this phone for two whole years.

Made the test with airplane mode on. Maybe there's something wrong with the settings?

Also maybe it is because I am currently in a sort of cold room? (about 20°c)

I have a new refrub and I got 85K. Defiantly let it run for over 10 minutes. I didn't see any red lines in the graph. I didn't play with any settings. I'm kinda disappointed which is ridiculous because I bought the paste in advance and I have a copper shim I was thinking of putting on it as well. I don't see any need to do it now so I'll leave it for the time being.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
Are you guys looking at the max reading or the average? I got just shy of 100k when I was using the electrically conductive pad but average was still only in the 80s. The 2nd pic was the new one I replaced it with after I found out it was electrically conductive.

Update for today

08/07/19

Reverted back to nougat after much urging from various people.

So far it seems there is a big issue of oreo mk kernel killing apps upon exit and nougat doesn't.

I will be providing more feedback as I test as well as what I'm using on nougat in the near future.

Guessing that is based off of Lineage or RR because ls997 is not able to be Rooted Oreo stock last I knew.

Nougat is 99.9% solid. I have heard of many issues with Oreo. Would try Pie if they would actually fix the burn in issue.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] aygross1929:
I have an h910. The clang kernels are regular mk for oreo compiled with clang compiler. They are for stock oreo. I have no idea why their is a sprint version.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ezzony:
OP, I see you have gone back to Nougat? Could you explain a bit more exactly why?

What is the negative side effect to killing apps? I have a kill button set up on xposed edge pro that I use a lot but I've never noticed anything bad in doing that.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
Nougat on my H918 running asker's BTTF mk2000 kernel was the best experience I've had on the V20. Best mix of battery and performance. Oreo has been an random mix of little issues that always seem to linger no.matter what I've tried as far as performance and/or battery.

The only reasons I'm still on Oreo is because I use Viper (on Nougat you have to fake a phone call to get Viper to activate, on Oreo it works as it should with no extra actions) and the Google mod camera that has the night site only works on Oreo as far as I've read. Also another big reason is Ive gotten the phone setup just the way I like and I'm kind of lazy and don't feel like going through the steps to revert to Oreo for my model.

As far as killing apps, I believe it's generally regarded as a bad thing from what I remember because it takes more battery and performance to start the app from scratch next time you run it. I'm sure someone can give a more technical explanation

Will the alpha oreo rounded ui mod work in h990ds?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] aygross1929:
Idk. It should and if it doesn't u can just dirty flash the system.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jahcure:
Yep but i am on old twrp that comes with dirty santa root method though i doubt that would be the problem

I'll backup my system first to ensure a full system revert if this mod fails. Thanks!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] aygross1929:
How do you know it isn't working then?the libs are system files their isn't a ui for them. I asked Josh if their is anyway to check if it's flashed correctly but as of now idk besides a/b tests
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jahcure:
Well i would say i flashed an entire rom , kernel, supersu , multiple times so thats why i doubt that twrp is the issue.

When i flash the updated libs it dosent work then i try to flash the all stock files zip and it still dosent work, only way to get it operational again is to reflash rom ( i dont know how to make a flashable zip of my system folder )
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
Dang man that's something you really should learn how to do before you start flashing stuff. Make a backup of just your system partition in TWRP. Then that's all you have to restore. ?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jahcure:
Thanks man

Ahhh well that makes it much easier , in my head it was like , backup using lgup then convert files then learn how to make flashable zip . Pray to the android gods that i did everything right as to not brick my phone.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arya_3RDNumber:
I have read your review in your blog. I use VS995 with A-O Oreo. When I saw you use mk2000 v2.2 clang version, I try it and my V20 performance has upgraded.

Unfortunately, for some reason even my V20 has idle, green screen watchdog and purple screen. If I not wrong, I have noticed it memory/RAM problem. It happen randomly and few times

So I decided back to mk2000 v2.2 (normal version) and I never got green/purple screen. But the one issue as you mentioned, apps get killed when many apps opened. Perhaps it caused RAM management from mk2000 v2.2.

Wondering if you have problems like I said or not.

Anyway, thanks for review blog, waiting for your nougat testing because I doubt to downgrade even some people said nougat is the best than oreo for V20
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] aygross1929:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ezzony:
Aygross1929, I've been using AKT GoastPepper today as per your recommendation and I'm kinda shocked that despite my phone has had hotspot on, been using the dac for maybe a couple of hours, live radio on via speaker, that my phone is still at 40% still nearly 8 hours later! Anyway what I want to ask is in the AKT guide it instructs to turn on some options in "Cpu Boost Options" section but this section does not exist in the app. Also Turbo Boost option is missing which is advised to have turned off. Is this because of the Kernel we use on the V20? I'm using Clang as you recommended.

EDIT: I have had this answered and yes reason is capability of kernel.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lebatman:
Awesome, thanks for the blog again u/aygross1929 ! A few questions:

1. Which extended battery are you testing? How long have you tested it for, and what's the SOT / accubattery estimate of its capacity?

2. Any guidance on RR vs LineageOS vs Alpha Omega? I'm looking to go for a custom ROM for better smoothness and battery life, but don't want to sacrifice on the special features like the stock style second screen, DAC, LG camera etc.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] aygross1929:
Hey sorry for the delayed response.Im testing the Perfine lipoly 8200 which is hard to find. I also just purchased a shenmz 8500 lipoly.

Accubattery is pretty terrible with the estimates since the kernel isn’t properly coded for it.I usually get 10 hrs sot but you have to charge a couple of hrs past 100 percent IMO. The charge percentages aren’t accurate since the kernel isn’t coded for it.I’m working on an in-depth update for stock oreo vs stock nougat with mk kernel.I hope to do a slow-motion video to capture animations lag but have been super busy. After that, I plan on testing Los/RR. From what I know about Los camera, it doesn’t work at all. Dac with gamma kernel should work but isnt ideal. Second screen on los 15 with gamma kernel kinda works but its using bored signs as a base and is super buggy. Los 16 is using the built in notch feature so you essentially have a giant notch, ymmv if you care about that. Overall performance and battery life is definitely better on Los. Stock Nougat is the most stable and has the better performance of the two stock options but you lose out in terms of battery life as well as pip and updated GPU drivers
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] aygross1929:
Nougat downgrade update is live.

https://pupontech.com/lg-v20-review/#more-331
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
What is dingles that you mentioned at the end? Also, was just wondering if the OC version of the kernel take more battery than the regular ones? Seems like it would.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
Just FYI from what I remember the OC version was inferior to the regular version. I forget exactly why but id suggest reading up on the results in the MK2000 nougat thread. The creator of the kernel even suggested against using it and said it was purely a curiosity thing as people kept suggesting it
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ezzony:
I don't fully understand the problem with Oreo Ram Management but I saw today via my Magisk app a mod called "Ram Management Fixes by crok". I wonder if this would be any use for those not willing to downgrade to Nougat. I won't be personally cause either I don't have the issue or more likely I don't really notice it : ). I'd try the magisk mod myself but I'm trying to fix something else atm.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
It basically means switching back to previously open apps means it has to fully open them again because LGs Oreo management for the V20 is very aggressive at killing any open apps. I've tried about every performance package magisk has to offer (LKT, NFS, FDE.AI, etc) and while they work, they don't fully fix the issue and problems start creeping up the longer you run the mods without reboot. Also as previously stated, you can adjust the memory management stuff in kernel adjusting apps but it still does not completely fix the issue. Performance on Oreo is just plain inferior to Nougat. Nothing I've tried so far has helped make Oreo run like my set up on Nougat
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] aygross1929:
The problem isn't stick oreo from LG Its the LG oreo kernel from mk2000 that's the problem. If your running a non rooted phone and using stock oreo it doenst have any issues with ram/app killing.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] aygross1929:
The Oc version does use slightly more battery but only when it's using the max frequencies like when gaming.

Dingless is an app that when your phones screen is on then notification sounds are muted and when it's off the sounds are back in to whatever volume you have it set to. For me this makes way more sense than stock Androids way of doing it,it I have heads up notifications I don't need sounds as well.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] aygross1929:
As far as I can tell it's the exact same kernel with higher boost frequincies. But again try it yourself this is my experience.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
I've never tried my own unrooted on Oreo but I have used my parents H918s and they're both on Oreo stock no root and both of them are just as bad as my H918 so maybe its TMobile firmware then
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] aygross1929:
Interesting I don't think it would be firmware specific.Maybe more people on stock kernel can chime in..
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
I don't know about here but I know in the old days using Samsung the T-Mobile was usually pretty bad compared to the unlocked firmware so firmware can be a difference for sure. I'm kind of interested in going to bad stock kernel now to experiment since I've never tried it on Oreo stock kernel but honestly if I do work up the initiative to actually go back to stock kernel then I would prolly just end up going back to Nougat instead. We'll see. I'll post back if ever get around to doing it.
