That's absolutely great news.. Hard work is always appreciated and yours definitely is. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
You mean enabled apps? I'll check it out. Any chance you can add a 'search' to that option and show/hide system apps?

Right now after a quick look seems a bit cumbersome to use when it lists each and every app on the device (user and system apps alike, such as 'bluetooth midi server, carrier setup...)

A search function there, and a setting to enable/disable showing of system apps would make alit a lot more useable!

Just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
There's a scrubber on the right that allows fast scrolling, not sure hiding system apps behind a toggle is a great idea either as the app can be used on system apps (the Settings app for example I use it on on my OnePlus and it would be hidden with that). Search might be possible for a future version though.
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
I believe the main function for that setting would simply be to hide showing system apps, and shorten the app list. In combination with the search, one would very quickly be able to find the desired app. I don't see why anyone would for example have device wide 'light mode' on then use the 'enabled apps' setting to force dark mode on certain system apps. Wouldn't make any sense (at least to me)

Oh and something else I just thought of, an import/export function of the apps you enabled DarQ on. say you did a factory reset on your device. It would be a big timesaver to be able to just import your 'apps list' it worked on, instead of having to remember/manually figure out again which apps forcing dark mode worked on.

I'll leave this in your capable hands.

Version 1.2 is now available on XDA Labs, at long last!

If you're using ADB (the non-root method), please make sure to download and run the script too.
[Android Apps and Games] v.konvict:
Thank you finally
[Android Apps and Games] ~El Julio~:
Tasker now allows to use "ADB over WiFi" and send shell commands directly from the targeted device if I understood correctly.

Would you mind sharing a Tasker profile so we could benefit from this without even needing a computer after reboots ?

Thanks a lot anyway for this non-root version.

[MENTION=3563640]Quinny899[/MENTION]

Had bookmarked this thread waiting for the non root option, however I have a small issue.

The global force dark theme works on almost all apps but the per-app setting doesn't work for some apps, e.g. WPS Office works with the global on but doesn't if just the per-app settings is on.

I would keep the global on but it inverts the colours of some overlay apps (like powershade & gesture control triggers).

Don't know if it's possible, but could you add a setting to exclude some apps from global?

Using a Huawei Mate 20 Pro, EMUI10.

Many thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Pheinte:
[MENTION=3563640]Quinny899[/MENTION] Thanks for the update! :)

I would like to give some feedback:

It would be cool to see a Whitelist where you select the apps you DON'T want Dark theme to be forced on.

This would be useful for those apps that have a dark mode option already, and for others that don't work fine with forced dark on.

Also, some apps load too fast for DarQ to apply the dark theme (while they worked fine with just force dark system option on).

It would be cool if, with the suggested Whitelist option above you could actually disable the Force dark theme for the selected apps, while keeping the system doing the job of applying the force dark theme for all the other apps (instead of DarQ). Do you think this would be possible to implement??
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
You would still have to connect to a computer to enable ADB Wifi for Tasker.

To start the DarQ server, just run this in an ADB Wifi Action in Tasker:

am start com.kieronquinn.app.darq/.activities.MainActivity

EDIT: Do this instead:

sh /sdcard/rundarq-linux-mac.sh
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
A "blacklist" isn't something I want to implement as it would cause the default to be force-dark enabled, which would inevitably cause people to complain to developers that it doesn't look right, which wouldn't be a good thing. It would also mean you'd have to have the inverted status bar all the time, and apps would randomly look incorrect. Quite simply, you don't actually want this.

That isn't actually sufficient to start the background server at all. There's a set of commands to run it, and they're stored in the script in /sdcard/Android/data/com.kieronquinn.app.darq/files/script.sh. BUT, this script needs to be run as root or shell (adb) to work. If Tasker has a way of keeping a process with the "shell" UID running after reboot, I'd like to see how it does it, but if it does, you can literally have it run the script from there and it will work. But again, it HAS to be with the UID "shell" or "root". It WILL NOT WORK otherwise.
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
Ok, thanks for the explanation.

Any idea why apps that work ok with the global switch, don't work with the per-app setting?
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
It's not applying the force-dark setting quick enough. If you set your launcher to be force dark, it will probably work (once the app is restarted), but then apps launched from the launcher may not have the setting disabled quick enough to work properly. You can see from this why blacklisting would be a problem.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
No, ADB Wifi has to be enabled after every reboot. I edited my post to show how to run the script locally.

If you are able to do so then you know the issue was related to you ROM. If not, the phone's NAND is likely dead, meaning an expensive repair as the NAND would have to be replaced, or else you will need a new device.

Hi guys,

I have a Sprint V40 bought off of Taobao that was rooted, sim unlocked, and crossflashed to US Cellular 11d but after I installed Pix3lify trying to get gestures on 8.1 I lost root. I don't seem to be able to get into fastboot, either with Vol- + cable or via adb, but I have an unlocked bootloader and I can get to download mode. Factory reset just reboots. Any tips as to how can I get root back, or upgrade to Pie? Can anybody please explain how to switch from slot a to slot b and vice versa?

If fastboot error

If you get a fastboot.exe error then edit the .cmd file and add the command pushd "%~dp0%" after the [MENTION=8011874]Echo off[/MENTION] on line one, its a zero not an uppercase o. This command tells the batch script to use the current directory instead of looking for a system path. Credits to Xsavi for making this possible.

[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xsavi:
Okay, press and hold vol down and power until you reboot at least 7 times (it may take longer than that). Do NOT let go during this process. By doing this, you're tricking the phone into thinking something is wrong with the current slot, and it will switch to your B slot. You should have your root back by then.

Root

Being an old rootoholic, I've kind of convinced myself it's not really necessary anymore, especially on a phone like this. But after digging into the threads about it, I've reconsidered...

So, after some resistance, I'm tempted to unlock bootloader and root :)

Just a few questions:

Slot A and B? Is it possible/complicated to activate "the other" slot (dual boot), or is it just there for backup and update?

Is com.lge.rctprovider and other spy and spam apps still there?

How exactly is the remote screen thing done? Do I need to install something, and how do you pay the fee?

Will it be possible to remap the assistant button?

If I'm not wrong, Qualcomm just block specific bands on carrier's requests, meaning that all bands exist in the chip. So I wonder, can this be unlocked?

How is the signal/reception on Sprint? Will all necessary bands still be there and fully functional?

Thanks!

Hello, I have done all the steps but I see that my LG V405UA (SPRINT), is lasting a lot on the black screen of LG V40Thinq, my PC recognizes it but it does not happen from there.

Hi there,

I am stuck on fastboot mode. LG V40 korea version with pie. I tried to unlock the bootloader using 9008 trick and endup with fastboot only. I installed V35 Engineering bootloader but no unlock bootloader. Will this work on this case? In positive case, can i revert to original korea firmware .kdz using lgup tool?

Thanks in advance.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
to unlock the bootloader, be sure to enable 'developer' mode (in settings), and then select 'allow oem unlock'.

if your pc see's your phone properly, with 'fastboot devices', then the command is simply 'fastboot oem unlock'.

yes, you can revert with lgup with the kdz, if that's what u chose to do.

cheers
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] sptw:
Hi AsltLies,

Thanks for your fast reply.

Unfortunately pc does not see my phone properly. Not even ADB. I do not know what has happened. After V35 Engineering bootloader , phone disconnected and i cant get the pc or adb to see the devices. I tried all of the stuffs, like a several of usb drivers e some adb fastboot drives. Change usb port ( usb 2.0, usb 3.0 ). I tried different cables. No way. Pc can not see the device.

I can only reach fastboot on smartphone device.

I was just imagining if the trick here from Mr. Xsavi can do with V35 Engineering bootloader locked.

Maybe i am doing something wrong here, but i can not be able to make it using adb on linux ( Kubuntu ). Linux dont see the device too.

Update: Windows 10 can see the smartphone on device manager, but i am not able to find a driver to update it. Device manager only see as " Android" and a yellow exclamation asking for a driver. I already tried qualcom drive, usb drive, and adb installation ( minimal version 1.4.3). No way. None works. Only to remember: it was working before with generic usb driver from lg, qualcom drive, and adb was able to see the device. Only after the V35 Engineering bootloader operation, the device manager on win10 dont recognize the device anymore.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
It's a windows driver issue. When you see that exclamation mark that means it doesn't know what to do with the device. So right click on that and select update driver, choose on your device and it should give you a list of adb drivers to choose from, there's a pretty generic one (can't remember the name), choose that and after the update the exclamation mark should be gone and phone will be seen.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] sptw:
Yep. Shure it is. Really exists about 4 or 5 android adb drivers. I will try one by one and see if can solve the problem. As soon as i have a result i will post here.

Thanks a lot.

Update:. Unfortunately even using all adb android drives on device manager ( win 10), the pc do not recognize the smartphone.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] sptw:
Finally I got it to work again. I manage to enter in the edl mode, and within there i upload de pieimagestock. Qfill upload it like a charme, because in edl mode pc could see the smartphone using qualcom driver.

After the upload pie image bootloader instead v35 Engineering bootaloader, the both slots ( a and b ) became unbootable. So i managed to enter in download mode and upload the entire pie kdz image. Works like a charm and my lg V40 is on the road again.

Off course the bootloader is still blocked. Now i will try to understand what has happened when i was using qfill to upload v35 Engineering bootloader image. I cant remember but i am almost shure i was using usb 3.0 port, instead 2.0, and i feel it is culprit.

Thanks.

you fixed my phone from dead thanksssssssssssssssssss
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lanzer22:
Thank you. This guide saved me from being completely stuck to finally having a rooted V40. It also upgraded my OS from 8 to 9, which is a big plus.

I spent hours unlocking the bootloader, but got completely stuck trying to get TWRP to work. I think the problem was the slot kept changing from A back to B when the abl images were set. Either way after a few failed attempts my phone would only boot in Fastboot mode and I was completely stuck.

I also got stuck for hours because the fastboot drivers didn't work on my 2 PC's. Turns out you don't need a driver for use with a Mac, and it ran flawlessly on a Macbook.

I made this work by 1) downloading the Android platform tools and 2) putting the platform tools inside the same folder as the images, then 3) edit the cmd file and change fastboot.exe to ./fastboot . After that I could just copy and past all the fastboot commands to flash the whole phone. 4) I also changed the active slot from B to A

I did run into a hiccup. system_a took forever to load and it looked like it got stuck. Luckily I'm used to using QFIL from unlocking the bootloader, and QFIL wrote the system_a partition pretty quickly. (The bootloader unlocking guide is here)

First boot took many minutes to start, it was a high tension moment. :)

Second hiccup was with rooting. I never got any of the patched boot image files to work with my phone, so I downloaded and installed the Magisk app to make the boot image myself. I put the patched boot image file in an SD card (didn't want to use mine as I worry it might be encrypted) and insert the SD card into the phone. I then ran Magisk and reference the img file to create my own boot image. I wrote the boot image to both boot_a and boot_b because I was paranoid, but that was it. Phone finally rooted.

Platform: LMV405UA (Sprint)

I got a V40 for dirt cheap because it has a broken screen. It is for a project where I convert a 32" monitor into a picture frame that's oriented in portrait mode, and I can't tell the HDMI output to fill the screen unless I root the phone. (absolutely ridiculous I have to do all that just for HDMI rotation)

Anyways thanks again, and hope my notes might help others down the road.
