[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThatLatinGuy:
Hi LG G6 owners!

this post is aimed at people that feel that their phone could be better , so lets begin

**DISCLAIMER: Please backup your phone ,and search for your model's specific ROM , I am not responsible for any data loss / damage caused to the phone , please read before doing any of the steps. **

All of this were done on the H870 latin american model (so no root) but they should work on any phone

*The ROM linked in this post is for the Latin american model , Please search for your model's specific ROM*

*Credits are at the end of the post .

*If you don't want to flash your phone skip over to step 2

*If you don't want to debloat your phone skip over to step 3

1-)Update your phone to Oreo :

If you have the latin american LG G6 H870 this is the firmware you want:

https://lg-firmwares.com/es/downloads-file/19423/H87020i_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0322.kdz

Download the rom , please BACKUP all of your phone data , it will be erased at the end of this process

If you dont know how to install the rom :

No big deal follow this tutorial (not mine, credits are at the end of this post ) this works no matter wich version of the LG G6 you have given that you have the propper firmware for your phone of course

After thats done , factory reset the phone.

2-) The Debloat . Install the adb drivers an system wide adb (found here) :

then go to this page and find the apps you want to get rid of and follow the instructions

if you dont know the name of the packages or dont now wich ones are safe to uninstall , then go to this link (is basically the same but with more detailed name for the packages but less detailed instructions)

Install the Google equivalents of the apps you have uninstalled

(Optional 2-b) Get rid of the stock launcher and install nova launcher

Can be found on the Google Play Store for free

3-) Go to settings >

about phone>software>build number and and tap it a few times , then go back to system >developer options and go to down untill you see gpu render and change it to OpenGL(skia) then check (turn on) the deactivate hw overlay option .

This will improve performance and in my case , increased battery life .

Please do note that you will have to manually tick the OpenGl option everytime you reboot or shutdown your phone .

(OPTIONAL) 3b-) Get the LG pixel dark theme from the playstore (paid app) , also get the google pixel icon pack , avalaiable for free on the Google Play Store

4-)Download and install the Gcam App , your photos will look better when taken with this camera

This post was made out of own experience with the G6 , hope this works for you as well as it did for me .

Cheers
