how did you downgrade without a functioning cable? Dont you need to transfer ROM from pc to phone to do that?

2. that 40 odd reviews probably from a same chinese guy. They good at that
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Spaceboy60:
Downloaded ROM via my phone.

Will get another cable to be sure, but it fast charges fine with that cable. Also shows up in device manager just fine : LGE Android MTP device.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Vortell:
Ok so anytime i have weird issues with a custom ROM on lg phones no one else is having i always flash firmware again. Check some of the other threads for twrp flashable versions. Make sure to search thread for which version you need. Nougat, oreo, or pie. Otherwise go to op read about how to take a logcat then join telegram group and share it with the developers. Or skip it all and just get a kernel manager that will do it for you. My favorite is ex kernel manager. This might even with with spectrum root app.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PhoneSlayer420:
well said sir

still think the problem is his 5-stars-review-from-40-customers-cable
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Spaceboy60:
Well, looks like it isn't the issue since same problem on different PC with a different cable
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Spaceboy60:
Is the latest h870 twrp flashable firmware OK to use or should I use slightly older firmware??
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Vortell:
Not sure for aex. Sorry, if you search for the word bootloader it's probably listed here. Otherwise flashing different ones shouldn't hurt things much if you have a twrp backup, mirgate zip, ect to restore with. It certainly shouldn't brick the phone assuming you check md5. Either way lgup can pretty much restore everything but qc 9008 status. Even then if you wanted to take the phone apart and find test point like they did for v20, i would think the firehose for it would work on the g6. Since the two processors and phones are so similar. No promises on that though.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Spaceboy60:
OK, I'm downloading 20j h870 euro twrp flashable. Do you recommend formatting data too or is that unnecessary?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Vortell:
It maybe at this point but probably not. Make sure to do a backup either way.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PhoneSlayer420:
then it must be the rom. Try a clean wipe then flash the bootloader made for this AEX ROM (not sure if you could use the latest firmware but i use the 20I that OP posted along with the ROM), then the ROM and GApps. Boot it up and if everythings alright then u can go back to TWRP and flash Magisk. Btw theres Carbon ROM android 10 for LG G6 and its like AEX, minimal ROM features so pretty stable.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Spaceboy60:
Where do I get carbon ROM? COULDN'T find it on the home page and don't see a thread for it here.

Edit: Got it from Telegram
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Spaceboy60:
already flashed 20I bootloader but did it second time, clean flash of ROM & Gapps: same issue.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Hesuss:
Works way better than the stock ROM, thanks!!!

PD: I installed GApss Pico pack, is there any way to use that google bar in the bottom of the main screen? Maybe link it with the default browser or just hide it somehow? Thanks again
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PhoneSlayer420:
and the issue only shows up in this ROM? I can only think of Magisk modules that might be the cause of this, or the ROM file is corrupted somehow as downloading directly to phone is not really reliable.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Spaceboy60:
Well as a workaround I selected file transfer from developer options as a default and it worked. Going to get a third cable just in case both cables are dodgy.

Thanks OP for share of ROM :good: .

Anyone got a solution for Netflix?

I can find app in play store, some other ROMs this would not happen. Login is not an issue, get playback in "Coming Soon" section, but not in other sections. Downloaded content doesn't also play.

Other issues I have so far are:-

Wide mode on selfie camera is not available, rear camera is.

Even though using adaptive brightness at time screen automatically too bright, have noticed image retention :o .

Santander app aware phone is rooted :rolleyes: .

I went from stock 9.0 to this ROM.

Unlocked bootloader.

Install TWRP 3.3.1.0 (newer versions would not work).

Wiped system, data, cache, dalvik.

Installed v7.3 ROM, OpenGapps v10 (full), Magisk v2.4.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Globespy:
Anyone care to comment on the battery life vs havoc and pixel experience?

I'm not that happy with either of these, despite being good ROMS.

The stock T-Mobile ROM actually had great battery life before it filled with bloat.

I replaced my battery with an OEM LG replacement and still pretty bad life unless I heavily use Greenify etc.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] physwiz:
I'm very happy with the battery life: no drain at all (1% decrease per hour with screen off/stand by). Only thing I notice is that the phone tends to run a bit hot with max screen brightness and intensive use, but I think that it isn't something out of the ordinary. I'm not going back to Havoc or any other A10 rom right now (H870 model).
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] guppyf:
Few months ago I replaced my battery as well, BL-T32 "dispatched and sold by Amazon". So far seems I get similar usage as stock LG Android v9.0. I can't share link to battery usage screenie due to low post count. I'd say I'm light/medium phone user.

I haven't tried Havoc/Pixel Experience ROM. Bliss would crash on me at time. Installed it cleanly a few times and always when I used Amazon Prime Video and exited app it would bomb on me.

As also the Bliss ROM had older security patch I then tried MSM Extended. As that had the July patch in Magisk I'd get ctsProfile fail, the AEX ROM with June patch is passing.

I do believe auto brightness at times is too bright. If I could tweak this I'd get more usage on a charge I reckon. Also perhaps the image retention issue I've observed at times would not happen.

Both Bliss and AEX sent temps up to 75C (seen in CPU Monitor) on just normal usage of setting ROMs as I'd like and installing apps and I noted battery temps of ~45C. Then the ROMs seem to "settle" and now phone seems normal to handle in usage.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Globespy:
Thanks for your replies, much appreciated.

Does this ROM have SELinux enabled to ensure things like Goggle Pay and banking apps can work?

If so, then I will try it out.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] guppyf:
New to this custom android, so don't know how to check if SELinux is enabled :o . Google pay is working :) . 2 of the 3 banking apps I use work. Santander detects phone is rooted :( .

I have used Magisk v20.4 and Magisk Canary. I've tried what was in OP here, which did not resolve Santander issue. Waiting for this update to be in Magisk, seems it does work from others posts in linked thread. Then it will only be Netflix left to resolve for me to have all apps I'd like :D .

I'm on about day 2 of using this ROM, other than the 2 highlighted app issues I have one gripe, need to adjust auto brightness not to go as high. I was just meddling with "Contacts" and after closing app could see image retention :eek: .
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Globespy:
thank you for your detailed response - much appreciated.

If you are having trouble with Netflix, then that's enough for me to avoid this ROM for the time being.

On Pixel Experience all banking apps, netflix, google pay - everything works.

But the battery life is 'meh'.

Maybe it's just time I got a new phone - can get a Pixel 3a XL right now for $400 brand new.

Better battery, but lower resolution screen (despite being larger), but faster chip as Octo core vs G6 Quad core.

I really loved this phone, but LG's BS locking the bootloader from being rooted for literally years made it forgettable, as I have never kept a phone on stock bloated carrier ROM's longer than a day from purchase, and it was tough with the G6 once the bloat began to slow the thing down.

PS - you should check out Franco's kernel Manager (FKM) app on the play store. It does a bunch of very useful things, and has built in display brightness adjuster based on sensor info. Might help resolve this too bright issue?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] sas06:
Is VoLTE supported on this ROM?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] guppyf:
NP, thanks for tip on FKM and Pixel Experience ROM experience share.

Where Adaptative brightness toggle is, it states "You can move the slider manually to help Adaptative brightness learn your preferences.". Wish I'd read that sooner ;) , seems now it isn't going as bright as before after teaching it what I prefer.

Interesting Pixel Experience allows Netflix full functionality. It's strange on AES I can play content in "Coming soon" section, but not in other sections.

Yeah I've been looking at other phones, but TBH seems I don't need better/newer HW, just want latest Android OS.

I believe so. I have made voice and video calls with Whatsapp over mobile data.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] sas06:
Buddy! VoLTE is something different from WhatsApp calls over LTE. VoLTE uses LTE for your normal calls.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] guppyf:
Ahh, thanks for info :) . After reading your post and some searching seems my network does not support VoLTE; if they had, would have been happy to learn how to check and share what went on.

Seems reading this post it's difficult to implement.

Thank you for update :good: . SkyHawk Recovery V2.3.2 works like a charm, allowed me to backup a Custom ROM which I was having issues on TWRP v3.3.1-0.

Seems as if the ROM may not be the issue for Netflix not working. It seems when a LG G6 is rooted it goes from Widevine L1 to L3. Mine I believe had "quirked". As I swear when I loaded DRM Info I saw L1 whilst on AEX v7.3 (20200625-2344), I forgot to take screenie.

I have had Netflix work now on stock ROM and AICP ROM, but only Widevine L3 (ie limited to SD playback :( ). What Widevine level do you see on Pixel Experience?

Hello,

I just flashed this rom. I did a clean install.

I got problems with the camera app, with the rear camera it's very dark.

I installed the cstark gcam app (https://xdaforums.com/apps/google-camera-mods/cstark27-google-camera-mod-wide-angle-t3747263) but it's crashing when I'm going to the setting or changing to the wide angle lens.

And with the Arnova's Advanced 1.5, I got green pictures with the front camera..

Any advices?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] grushnickij:
It's a question of settings. I use Arnova's Advanced 1.5 and selfies work fine. There are config.xml files for download and a guide how to import them here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog380/

I haven't tried them personally, as I am content with my settings I tested out myself, but they should work. If not, I can post my own, just ask.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TomEighty15:
I tried with the two config files for the g6, one give me green selfie and the other crashed the app ?

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] TomEighty15:
I just tried all modes. With the focus mode it's dark, and with portrait mode it's still green... But at least, it's working with the normal mode ?

Edit : front camera not working with night sight
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] grushnickij:
I think I haven't even tried front cam Portrait or Night Sight modes nor have I realized it, as I'm not a big fan of selfies (most of them are utterly uninteresting to me and there's much too many of them imo). If I on occasion do take one, I want people to see what's in the background, as to show where I am.[/rant]

Long story short, I don't think selfie portrait mode works with gcam 6 on our phone, but I also think that's not important.

Yes, there are GCam 5 versions that work perfectly on our phone (cstark27, fu24), but we were talking about GCam 6 with its refined algorithms and NightSight, which works fine in Arnova's Advanced 1.5 using the back camera. Also HDR is better in GCam 6 IMO.

Not trying to be rude or ask for an eta, but will Bluetooth calling get fixed anytime soon, or is it going to be a long term thing? I'm asking as it's a feature that I highly value, and detracts from what is otherwise a nearly perfect rom that has performed much better than any other rom I've loaded on my G6. Other than that issue, thank you for the hard work.:good:
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Vortell:
Looks like there is no mention of Bluetooth in this thread. I suggest you make a logcat and submit it to Dev. You can also try sauron magisk module as it can thoroughly rearrange the audio pathways.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Mikes:
This feature is not open-source so unless someone rewrite it from scratch I highly doubt this will ever be fixed.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] StormySky16:
I wasn't actually aware of this, that makes much more sense as to why there aren't any Pie roms with bt call functionality. As for it being fixed, I've used multiple Oreo based roms (Eliminator74's Oreo AEX and Lineage OS) that had working BT Calling on my G6, so would it really be that hard to fix? I'm not really well versed in OS programming, so that might be a dumb question.

So, I tried to see if it was working on Stock LG-H870 OPEN EU 20I ROM by K3V1991. with root. I succeeded to enable it. Then I came back to new build AEX 6.5, without root (and also with root), and again impossible to enable it.

Would it be possible to add a sysapp remover built into the settings to remove stuff like the camera? When I removed it using a removal tool from the play store it leaves a corrupted icon in the app drawer that doesn't go away no matter what I tried.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

More often than not custom rom users have to jump through some hoops to get payment oriented functions to work on their phones, in your case I'd suggest looking up if anyone has had that issue and had a fix for it on any rom, not just AEX or Pie roms. If I had to suggest anything, I'd say to try using magisk to hide root from the app and make sure you pass all of safetynet as a start, that usually fixes those issues, but it may not be the case for yours. Either way, good luck.

That's disappointing, bluetooth calling functionality is only going to get more important as the market moves further away from headphone jacks. Hopefully it gets fixed in the coming months.
