[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recove] deksman2:
No doubt, but its also a good practice to update older devices and let them run for as long as possible.

I don't think the 4 GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage (coupled with an octa core CPU) in Vince are outdated by any means. (in fact, they remain more than capable years down the line).

In fact this device could EASILY go for another year for those of us who occasionally game and use the phone for work related stuff.

I think smartphone manufacturers should make more of an effort to upgrade the software for these phones regularly and optimize them accordingly... that way, when it is time for consumers to move to another mobile phone, they are more likely to stick to the manufacturer they know will support their phone for a while.

Plus, 4 year software support ensures less waste - which is actually more important than ever... and its doable for a mobile phone that exceeds new OS requirements.

I have installed Havoc Os,thanks for custom
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A (LITE) ROMs, Kernels, Recover] GuestD2131:
Thank you / Cảm ơn bác :))))

en-US: Thanks for the build! ♥ The ROM boots up fast and is for the most part smooth. I haven't got to test the camera or everything else on the phone because unfortunately I have to fall back to Havoc 2.9 because of an apparent incompatiability with the latest QuickSwitch.

I use OpenGapps (pico build) and QuickSwitch (Magisk module) + Lawnchair (latest alpha build). GmsCore (Google Play Services) crashes constantly whenever QuickSwitch was on, and apparently that's because QuickSwitch makes a copy of the launcher APK into priv-app but not product/priv-app. I know this is not related to your ROM, but for anyone who's trying out the latest Android Q builds for our phone (RN5A) and wondering why Google Play Services continuously hangs in background / cause the phone to significantly warm up and become laggy, what I've done in my case could be the reason. Currently Lawnchair (stable build) only fully supports Android 9, so that's why I've returned to an older Havoc build.

Also fun fact: after I've flashed OpenGapps, I pulled out the log and found that this ROM reports itself as

OmniROM-10.0.0-20200110-ugglite-HOMEMADE

Interesting :D

--------------------------------------------------

vi-VN: Cảm ơn bác vì bản ROM này nha! ♥ ROM nói chung khởi động nhanh và khá mượt; chưa kịp test cam hay mấy thứ linh tinh khác để coi có bug hông; phải quay về Havoc 2.9 tại vì có trục trặc xíu với QuickSwitch :<<<

Mình dùng OpenGapps (bản pico) + cái module QuickSwitch trong Magisk + Lawnchair bản alpha. Mỗi lần QuickSwitch được bật lên hay chuyển launcher mặc định là cái GmsCore (dịch vụ Google Play) nó crash không thương tiếc .-. theo mình mò (gà mờ lắm, mình hông biết lấy log ?) thì do QuickSwitch có copy cái launcher vô priv-app thay vì product/priv-app. Mình biết cái này hông liên quan tới ROM, nhưng mà mình muốn kể mọi người đang thử ROM Android 10 mới gần đây cho đt này nhưng hông hiểu sao GmsCore bị treo / làm đt nóng lag các kiểu thì có thể QuickSwitch là lý do. Lawnchair bản stable hiện tại mới chỉ hỗ trợ hoàn chỉnh cho Android 9 thôi, nên đó là lý do mình quay về bản Havoc cũ hơn :<

Fact ngoài lề: flash ROM, flash OpenGapps xong, lôi cái log ra thấy ROM tự nhận mình là

OmniROM-10.0.0-20200110-ugglite-HOMEMADE

Thú dzị nha :D

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlevick:
So alot of people (especially in the UK) will be coming to the end of contract and life cycle on the p20. The question is....what next.

Do we go p40 without Google services or look at something different?

Iv loved the p20, it's been reliable and solid, but I'm a Google loyalist. I use the services and apps and the idea of losing apps iv paid for already on Google play just seems a step to far.

Iv found updates painfully slow to arrive through O2, months and months behind. So definitely an unlocked from carrier handset next.

But what one?

Samsung

One Plus

Or something completely different?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00449:
I love my phone, but unfortunately i came to get too annoyed with the software.

I will be switching to either Xiaomi, oneplus (doubt about oneplus but i'll see).

Until Huawei releases harmony os, i will not buy their stuff anymore. Great hardware, **** software.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
Yes. This mi 10 pro seems like a decent upgrade.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] pablo_max:
If you want updates to your phone, you have 2 choices. Iphone or pixel.

OnePlus is super easy to unlock the bootloader and will not void the warranty. Then just use lineageOS.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mushtafa:
I had enough of of the Huawei software. I was expecting Android 10 by now, but nothings been said about that release for a while now.

Add locked bootloaders and no development, made a rather boring phone. It was the only Android phone I've ever had which didn't even get a working TWRP after 2 years!

I went for the Pixel 4XL yesterday, and I'm very happy with it. Bootloader unlocked, rooted and GPay working fine :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00449:
Exactly. Sadly that it is kinda expensive and doesn't bring water resistance, but still it's pretty great!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
According to current information it's 4999 yuan which is more expensive than previous releases but it's still cheaper than OnePlus 7T Pro, not to mention Samsung or Pixel and iPhone. I am afraid it'll be more pricey in Europe though. Lack of IP rating is bad but I think I can live without it if the price is competitive.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00449:
If it is at least splash proof, then i am happy either way. Better that than nothing. Besides, MIUI is really good in terms of looks and customization. I don't know about the system apps and country-features restrictions. Let's see how the phone will perform.

Personally, the non-pro version is better than the pro, but let's wait first.

Oneplus is good too but still skeptical about them, after they got called out many times due to their software backdoors and insecurity.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
It's supposed to be splash proof. Regular mi 10 has bigger battery but pro version has better camera.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] arty_a:
If you care about software on any level - don't go with Xiaomi. They are even worse than Huawei with updates and their camera software is probably the worst on the market.

I think the "what's next" really depends on the personal preference and needs.

I personally would never go with anything without Google services. Software wise - Pixels lead, OnePlus are probably the second choice right now. Camera wise it's probably Pixel/Samsung. If you want to keep the price low, Xiaomi is probably the way to go but you will sacrifice things. I would say OnePlus is the most balanced, but if I wouldn't care for the price I would go with Pixel.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
I've never owned Xiaomi and frankly speaking I am bit curious, especially that this year they claim they won't compete with other flagships with price factor only. I guess I'll order it online, use it and return it within 14 days if I don't like it. Samsung is not an option to me as I want a handset with SD 865 and my region is "blessed" with their Exynos. Pixel is overpriced on the other hand and designwise...just horrible. I'd rather go for OP if their quality check is improved this year.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00449:
I mean, since many xda nerds advertise xiaomi (second place, top being oneplus) as the best company that supports custom roms, i suppose a custom rom with gcam can fix all the issues Xiaomi phones have. I guess?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] arty_a:
True if you are willing to do all that. Last time I checked xiaomi.eu stopped supporting GCam ports on their official forum because they worked pretty terrible. I guess you can find some ROM like LineageOS that works with GCam, I didn't really look into it since I don't own a Xiaomi phone anymore.

If you just want to buy something that works out of the box they are not the best choice.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
I'm sure you're right about previous releases. Thank you for your feedback. It's good to hear some critical voice before the final decision is made. However there are already camera comparisons between mi 10 pro and s20 ultra and these pics/videos looks pretty good. Mi 10 pro camera is supposed to be revolutionary and able to compete with other flagships. Well we'll see.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Oneplus 8 pro. Nothing comes close unless you want to spend £1200 on a pixel 5. If money isn't a problem then the latter would be comparable and the only phone that is.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] a500user2013:
Why do you need to upgrade? I'm holding off here in the UK until 5G becomes a reality and decent phones are available. New phones for 2020 so far (and into the Q2) don't really offer anything above what I currently have hardware wise. The phone works fine for me, battery lasts > 1 day even after 2 years.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlevick:
I'm thinking the one plus but it looks like it's network exclusive to ee
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
I am with EE, by far the best in London, Liverpool and Manchester for all the places I visit, getting expensive now but that fits perfectly for me...

What gives you the idea that EE will have the OnePlus , as in the new one?

That is the one I want.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] blufreak:
For me oneplus would have to show incredible improvement in keeping their promises regarding coming improvements and their cameras. I can't trust reviews 9n them anymore and would want to see it first hand. Shame as otherwise their hardware is blinding fast and updates/rootproof warranty are great
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Honestly for me so long as ois is on the camera and it's got "some" development, the screen is 90hz or over..I'm in.

The rest is a bonus.

Oh and I miss that DND hardware switch ;)

Apparently waterproofing, wireless charging is all on its way.

My only problem will be the price if they're all added, personally I couldn't care less about wireless charging, not when it idles so well and charges as fast as it does..maybe if I started using it I'd become a fan but I can't see it at the moment.

Time will tell.

Plus if they don't have the 8 pro on my carrier I ain't getting it lol.

I found this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V30-US9...D4AAOSwqj9beX9a:sc:USPSFirstClass!95132!US!-1

I was wondering if this was an actual US998 or a flashed LS998 because some of the feedback claims that this is a LS998. I see 1,800 units were sold so I'm hoping there's atleast one person on this forum who also bought from this seller. Also, I am on T-mobile, so I was wondering how it would affect the functionality of the phone if it were a LS998.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Doesn't matter. I've had both native US998 V30+ and converted US998 V30+ (former LS998)

Once converted, its fully US998. For T-Mobile or AT&T it will work. However, for Verizon, you would need an already-activated SIM card or a very helpful rep willing to break the rules.

I've bought from that seller several times. My brother-in-law, sister, couple of friends are all using former LS998 converted to US998 from that specific seller.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] caloc96:
Hi, I just bought a used V30+ and it currently at android 7 Nougat (US99801c). Interestingly, when I tried to upgrade to Android 8 Oreo, the LGUP regconized it as LS998,which I found out later was a Sprint version, and said that my KDZ file was invalid. I'm so confused. Which firmware should I choose to upgrade ? Please help me
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Use Dev Patched LGUP, not regular LGUP.

Read the Dev Patched installation instructions carefully.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] caloc96:
Hi thanks for replying, my software infomation is US88910c but when plugged for upgrade, it was regconized as LS99820a. I followed your instructions but it didnt work. Do I have to download the nougat version of the US988 first ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
1) you already have US998. Or you say you do... Go into Download mode manually before opening Dev Patched LGUP.

2) if you want to flash US998 Nougat again, see Frankenstein instructions. All the firmware links you need are there. It's how we convert LS998 to US998.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] caloc96:
Thank you so much for your support and the efforts you made for this community. I just figured it out by changing form upgrade mode to Patition dl mode. It worked perfectly and more quickly than I expect. Thanks alot !
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MehIGuess:
So even if my V30+ US998 is on Android Pie, it can be downgraded with the methods listed above. Correct? I rarely see Pie mentioned >_< Was reading Pie messes something up but that was from a while ago and am just wanting to make sure!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Pie makes changes. People have found charging is slower, and many people complain Wi-Fi signal is weaker. Your mileage may vary. Yet you NEED stock LG Pie as a base to install/run the newer LOS-17 "Android 10" custom ROMs. For people who decide to go back to stock rooted firmware, perhaps with some Magisk mods -- instead of running full custom ROM -- they often make the decision to go back to last stable Oreo.

I have instructions in every Pie KDZ thread how to use Dev Patched LGUP to downgrade back to Oreo. The "Pie problem" you are referring to is many people then have to use permissive kernel for camera/flashlight to work when downgrading, since Pie made changes. Also some other sensors may not work.

If you are down converting back to Oreo because you don't like Pie the best way is to first downgrade to Nougat via Partition DL, then update back to Oreo. This seems to erase the stock Pie effect. Even better (for North American variants, EXCEPT for T-mobile H932!) first flash Canada H933 Nougat via Partition DL mode -- as it has different partition structure (like a sandblaster) -- then go back to US998 Nougat, then US998 Oreo.

For the H930 variants, you shouldn't cross flash to North American variants. Just Partition DL to Nougat H930 and then upgrade back to Oreo.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MehIGuess:
Thank you! My entire objective is to install Lineage along with Magisk to this phone. So when you say stock LG pie, do you mean any update/version of Pie that comes on the phone when I receive it? Or do I need to specifically have a certain version of Pie? Like if it's on an updated version pushed out OTA for this month vs last month for example. The phone I'm getting is a V30+ US998.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Right now, US998 has only had one Pie KDZ release.

When you get your US998 V30+ it will probably come with Nougat or Oreo and you will have to manually update it. Being totally honest, it will probably be an already-converted LS998 V30+ to US998 V30+. Nothing wrong with that, I've bought several -- my sister and two brothers-in-law use those... But on those, you will never get "OTA". You have to manually update, either via KDZ or TWRP-flashable zip.

If it already has Pie, you will still have to temporarily downgrade to early Oreo to unlock bootloader and root. Then you would update to more current firmware.

ROOT Your LG V30!

If you haven't read that Sticky Guide, please do.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MehIGuess:
Thank you. I was just making sure because I know when I used to root phones back then, security patches and such would sometimes render certain methods unusable. I read that thread but didn't see any mention (probably because it has no issues) of security patches messing with rooting? So that's all I'm making sure of.

Greets to both of you. I know the above quoted posts are several months old, but I'm kinda frustrated over finding reliable phone sellers on eBay and want to ask, can either of you tell me the name of the seller you were talking about here? I've had to return three phones because of various weirdnesses in phones received (ilke one in Danish and another in Chinese) and then it took way too long to get refunded. I could really use a good recommendation. I've got a list of several LG V30s for sale (and half of them are LS998) but hesitant to buy again because of the bad experiences. Message me if preferred, if you can help at all. TIA!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] supremmotu:
The name of the seller was yywireless. The phone was mostly fine except for a one scratch on the back, a few chips on the side, and the charging port looks like someone missed a lot. Yywireless seems to have raised the prices though.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Moondroid:
Thanks! This seller has a loooong list of phones for sale and I don't know yet if he has what I want. If nothing else I'll catalog the name for future reference.

Hi!

I have a problem. I installed WM6.1 on my VPA C2. Everything went fine, but WM6.1 seemed to be slow on my device. So I decided today to downgrade to the original Qtek AKU2 WM5. After I was done downgrading my VPA is not booting and hangs up on the provider screen with the Vodafone Logo.

Here my facts:

IPL 2.21.0001

SPL 2.21.Olip

GSM 02.19.11

OS 2.18.7.7

Please tell me how I can reactivate my device.

Soft- and hardreset didn't work.

Greetings,

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zabardast_1:
Your phone is HardSPL,did you first remove it before flashing wm5 ? if not than you have to first remove the HardSPL flash back to official original vodafone IPL/SPL and than flash official wm5.

Well,you are lucky,if it still boots up or goes into Bootloaders,coz flashing a rom with IPL/SPL even if its an official rom, to a HardSPL device will 'Brick' the phone.

Now,if it still gets into Bootloaders,reflash any custom build wm6 or 6.1 rom to recover the phone,than remove HardSPL,flash back to official IPL/SPL and than revert back to wm5,hope it'll work out.

Okay, I now flashed the phone again w/ WM6.1. Everything works again.
