unofficial installation with TWRP

1- Download zip file UT TWRP

2- push it in internal storage or sdcard

3- backup up your current boot partition (to restor it later if you want return to android rom)

4- install zip file, make sure your data partition is ext4 (option if you want fresh install you can wipe data partition)

5- rebbot
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] SammyKitkat792:
Thank u so much for the flashable zip file. So much excited to try it!! Dev like u make us keep our devices for a lot longer by supporting them :)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pierro78:
does somebody know if an UT LG V20 would support some kind of networking on his USB Type-C port that would allow it to run as a "dongle" for another computer/tablet with USB C ( for example the iPad Pro : https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1569865 )

thanks and bravo :good: folks for your artfull work ! :) :)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Grin59:
This works so thank you, but we need to be able to lower the color calibration values or have kcal or something to reduce the screen retention, it was extremely bad for me and couldn't use it for more than 5 minutes because I felt like I was permanently damaging my screen.

But aside from that it's good so far, slow, bit laggy, but it works.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Americancosworth:
So long as I can revert back to my Lineage OS I'd be down for testing it out and providing logs on a LS997
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Grin59:
It's really easy to go back to your rom, all you have to do is restore your boot. Ubuntu touch is installed to the data partition so you never have to wipe or anything, although I didn't use it for long since screen retention started kicking in
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Americancosworth:
Correction, is there anyway to have a LS997 .zip made?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] sexmaschine:
amazing !!!!

i will test soon
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Americancosworth:
Any chance you could build a .zip for the LS997?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] walidham:
i have new version with stock 10u kernel, is more fast, and got second screen work as well, but not very useful, camera hide top menu bar.

I got error when type

/system/bin/logcat -d|grep egl
01-01 00:02:11.202 0 2497 I Adreno : GetAndroidProperty: property_get debug.egl.swapinterval failed (err = 0)

have you any idea what about it?

i found that the best value debug.egl.swapinterval=-60 is some xda thread.

Edit : solved by using 10u stock blobs
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] walidham:
I uploaded new version, its just for test based on 10u stock kernel and graphics blobs.

The new version is more fast and reactive, this is the link:

Ubuntu-Touch-25-12-2019-beta

Can you please test it and welcome for any feedback.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Grin59:
Is there anything that can be done about screen retention? I don't know if kcal exists on Ubuntu but we need it because some of us, if not a lot of V20 users suffer from screen retention, and for me personally it plagues the majority of my screen after like 5 minutes of using this rom

Regardless, thank you for support, it's appreciated.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] walidham:
Realy don't know if there is kcal in ubuntu touch will see it.

I just got anbox work on LGV20, its alpha version of ubuntu-touch anbox. I tested Whatsapp application and its work.

Best Regards
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Americancosworth:
Time permitting for both of us this holiday week, would it be OK if i bugged you on the UBPorts telegram to assist me making a LS997 version to test out? Thanks in advance for making this!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] walidham:
Ok,

I will download stock kernel for LS997, device tree, clean the code, and guide you how to build and test.

I want support other device.

While trying to write the h918.conf file, it doesn't currently exist and the feedback is that this is a "read-only file system" trying to use sudo -i and just sudo to vi, nano, or touch to create the file.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nickhaven:
Used this today as my Main phone (firmware h91810p) and the data connection/tethering is the smoothest I have seen on this device before. I was all around my area, covered 50 miles or so streaming audio/video from a tethered device. Data was only an issue in a know trouble spot with a very fast recovery. Great work walidham!

You can remount the rootfs in my experience

mount -o remount,rw /

Does anyone have word on Anbox instructions? Has anyone else got it working?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] TheForgottenKing:

Some issues

Hi There,

I installed the latest image (ubuntu-touch-h918-01-01-2020) on my LG V20 h918. I am running into some issues and I wanted to see if anybody else had the same

Forgets wifi credentials after every reboot

Hangs during shutdown or reboot (need to remove the battery)

GPS does not seem to work (uNAV says "waiting for GPS" forever)

Cheers,

// Jonas
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aedahh:
hi Jonas, I also just got my h918 installed with this port few days ago and can confirmed I have all those issue you listed.

Also incoming and outgoing calls are not working, no sound.

MMS multimedia message also does not work but plain text message works.

Alarm also does not work when device screen is off.

I've posted my issue forums.ubports.com/topic/3367/lg-v20-t-mobile-h918/26

Did you use the regular rootfs or Edge? I used the regular rootfs, downloading Edge now, will try it soon.

[MENTION=4358240]walidham[/MENTION], how do I check what is the version of the system.img from the link at ubports vs the latest you have in this thread, are they same or which is newer?

Thanks !
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aedahh:
hello, somehow I cannot unlock or shh my phone with the old pass after the steps below. How can I set password again?

I was running Ubuntu Touch with version from https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3367/lg-v20-t-mobile-h918/2, which I think is older. After installing ubuntu-touch-h918-01-01-2020.zip I notice UI is much smoother and less lag.

What I did:

1. I downloaded the ubuntu-touch-h918-01-01-2020.zip from this thread

2. Boot my phone into TWRP, wipe, then format data

3. Still from TWRP, install ubuntu-touch-h918-01-01-2020.zip

4. Reboot

5. After phone booted, it when through the language selection, device name, wifi, etc setup again (no asking for password).

Once done after screen is power off, then on I cannot unlock, old password don't work anymore.

help please... thanks
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aedahh:
I've reverted to version at UBports post, to resolved the password issue. With that version phone always connected to Tmobile with LTE (have 'L' label) on notification bar but call don't work (I've re-enter APN values).

After that from TWRP I install ubuntu-touch-h918-01-01-2020.zip (without wipe or format), once done, phone connected to Tmobile showing '4G', outgoing call works but 4G data constantly off/on and web browsing from Morph does not work (APN values still intact).

Hope walidham will have new version soon. I could try to compile and build new version but don't know where to fix call/LTE issues.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DillonMenefee:
I am excited to try and get this installed. Finally getting to test Ubuntu Touch!!!

Just for my understanding, when you say "While on TWRP" you're saying to use the terminal option in TWRP right?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DillonMenefee:
Can you share the link to the zip that you used to get a functional install? The ones I have tried result in some files stem errors during install that cause the OS to not be installed.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aedahh:
The system.img, halium-boot.img and Edge rootfs (Edge rootfs have better UI response than regular) I initially downloaded from here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3367/lg-v20-t-mobile-h918

3. Still from TWRP, install ubuntu-touch-h918-01-01-2020.zip <-- This is from TWRP recovery GUI.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DillonMenefee:
Thanks nopt sure if it was a bad download the first time or what was causing the OS not to load correctly but I was able to reflash the device this morning and now it is working!!!

I can not wait to start playing with it after work today! I plan to use this as a test device until my new Pro1 X arrives
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] walidham:
Hi all, i will return back to develop UT for H910 , for H918 i bricked my device dead boot, but its same work, i will build a version also for H918.

It looks like 900mAh is a joke for more or less serious use. Does anyone know when the extended batteries will be available.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] CheongKing:
Will there ever be one available??

Read the specification on the box and it states 285HRS standby..

Thats a DARM JOKE..

I charged my phone till 8am morning. (Full Bar)

Send 20 SMS and miss 2 phone calls.. Never use any voice call.

Bluetooth/Wifi/Infra totally disable.

4pm.. I left with only half bar..

So i believe the phone dont even survive for 24hrs!

So how the hell did they get that can of standby time..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] flie2306:
Battery Life

i had the same problem , wfter two days it's gone !!

just discharge the battery fully , then charge again.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] richardirv:
I seem to be managing pretty well so far, full charge lasts about a day & a half, but only light to medium use. I noticed after I got it my batt life got better and better each time I charged it. Seems to have leveled off now.

I still think the manufacturers specs are rubbish though!!! but for a 900mAh battery and VGA screen etc. it doesn't do too bad.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] sandervanzijl:
do you turn you phone off? just the screen offcourse, with the power button?

and do you close all your programs after running? how about weather application? is 3g turned off? do you see a G or H sign above the signal strength?

i think if you do not use your phone, but put it on the table and look at it, you might be able to look at it for 285 hours.

talking time is only 5,5 hours. so that is quite accurate.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] woetyke:
after 5 hours my battery goes from full charge to 20%:

- gprs/umts/hdspa syncs every 5 minutes (poll 5minutes, sync 10min)

- used mp3 player for about 15 minutes

- 4 minutes call received

- 2 manual syncs with other pop3 server

memory use between 60-70%

some tweaks would be nice

edit: that's funny, after a soft reset the device shows now 4 blocks (30%)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] sandervanzijl:
yes, you are constantly using 3g networks. that takes a lot of power. read the forum to find solutions for this (automatically disconnect etc)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] woetyke:
i know it uses battery..

I used already: qtek 9100, 4350, tytn, touch dual.

All this devices run on battery more then 1 day(same sync settings)

The diamond needs 5-6 hours!

probably these futures use al lot of battery:

- 3D controller

- the processor and memory

energy saving features?

Well i've just placed an order for it, but i'm not sure if 1800 mah will be enough?

Note they are an official reseller so
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] JanDaMan:
well it is twice the normal capacity and more than what the touch pro is gonna have... i know what you mean tho, well when you get yours let us know what the thickness is like, i think i will w8 a few more days b4 ordering so your info on thickness will be useful :D

can you make photos of the replacement back cover as well please?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Raze666:
Some other question even though I think the batterylife sucks :(. How do I really turn GPRS OFF. When I don't have WLAN it turns on GPRS and I don't have free internet yet, so it might get quite expensive. Tried the prog "Advanced Config", but nothing there to help me. Maybe something in the registry?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Darrenives:
Official Extended battery now on HTC Accessory site....

http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=166204

No details on capacity though.

Also on Expansys (which is where the official site sends you to for your orders anyway).

£40 though! Should be available cheaper than HTC/Expansys somewhere else soon I hope.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] JanDaMan:
£40!! lol other ones are like ~£22 i would like to see what the mAh rating on it is and what the dimensions with that new cover are...

If the HTC Europe site is displaying this (its accessed through the HTC Home page and nowhere else), regardless of who manages the site etc, how much more official can you get? Could you suggest any other place apart from the HTC site that would be official HTC information?

Hi, I rang them for more info today and they don't even have a date for when it will be in stock. Wouldn't expect an answer to your question to soon unfortunately. It seems that no supplier will be selling extended batteries for a while. Spoke with Expansys and they have no timescales yet for their smaller version battery (1340mah or thereabouts). M

About the docking stations on the htc website they sell to version of the "cradle docking station", each for one of the battery :/

i rang them today (read your post only after) but they told me they are expecting the first stock in around the next 12-14 days along with some of the other accessories for the diamond. he did not know how much the thickness would increase by - just commented that the manufacture are very experienced and will be keeping the size increase down to an absolute minimum...
