[LG G5 Questions & Answers] IStevanovic:
Hey guys,

Long term LG user here, wanting to stick with my good ole G5 despite the age starting to show. As far as I understand, the latest official version of Android that supported the G5 was 8.0, and that's the latest my phone will let me go ofc. Now, the problem is, a bunch of apps no longer work, and Google Play is being weird even after a factory reset, so I can't find a whole bunch of apps such as BlaBlaCar, for example. Like, I know they are there... if I go on another phone they will be too (or through my PC) but if it detects LG G5, it pretends the apps don't exist. Long story short, I'm thinking some of these apps just don't work on older Android versions anymore. That being said, what would you guys suggest? There are hundreds of custom roms out there (or so it seems anyway), but which one works provenly well and offers apps from GStore (or another place, I'm good with that too if there's a reliable store) that actually work? I am a total newbie when it comes to custom roms, so far I've heard about Lineage, but really not sure about anything else. Any tips? :)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
Hi, I would remove the play store and play services, replacing Play services with microg. Microg is an open source reimplementation of Play Services. It is very light, but it's not compatible with apps like Meet and Duo.

Instrad of the play store you can use Aurora Store, you can find it here on XDA. It is an unofficial client for the Play Store that works both with an anonymous account or with your own google account. It can also spoof the phone make and model, so you can be sure you will find all the apps. I'm using Oreo as well, and it still works perfectly with almost any app.

Edit: I tried to download BlaBlaCar on my G5 using Aurora store, it works as expected.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] IStevanovic:
Ah, I see. So what you're saying is don't mess with custom roms at all? But how do I get rid of Play Services if I don't get a custom version of Android working, and to do that I probably need to unlock my phone/boot loader, right? :) Or do you just mean .. just... don't use Play Store and use Aurora Store instead? :) Tried the latter, and it definitely works. Now I just need to get rid of Play Store and all that, any recommendations on what to use to do that? :)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
Although custom roms are great because they let you use the newest version of android, unfortunately there are some functions that are not supported, most notably the IR led to use the phone as a remote. Moreover in my opinion the LG camera app, supported only by LG roms, is the best camera app I've ever tried. You can flash TWRP or OrangeFox as recovery, and then remove the play store and play services from there. OrangeFox in particular has a specific 'app uninstall' function that makes very easy to remove apps. That is possible if you can unlock the bootloader. If your phone does not support bootloader unlocking, you can disable the play store from settings->applications or using adb command pm disable. In this case by the way I wouldn't suggest to disable play services, as there would be no way to replace them with microg.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] IStevanovic:
Ah, right, thanks man! I'll give it a shot and see what I can do :D
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] stevenhalt:
Hello, am Steven. I own a Samsung j7 nxt (sm-j701f/DS). I recently enabled "developer options" and accidentally activated the OEM lock. Having switched it off in order to replace a Sim card, I did boot the device normally but only to get the logo plus a feedback message, "custom binary blocked by oem lock." Afterwards the phone switched off. So basically that's all it does now when I try to boot it. Am lost about what to do because I can't check for software information in order to install specific firmware. I can only access the model number as stated above in brackets.

If there's a way to remove the OEM lock without a firmware update, I would really appreciate that help, otherwise I don't know how to choose the right firmware for this phone, since I don't want to brick it am hesitant to make a firmware update.

What should I do?

I tried the unlocked Sprint one and no VoLTE and no VoWifi. Does anyone have the unlocked ATT version LM-G850U on TMobile and if so, do VoLTE and VoWifi work?

No go. No VoLTE, no VoWifi.

[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] acefr:
This VoLTE method probably does not work for Sprint version, but maybe someone can try it on AT&T version?

[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] foxxyman:
Those switches are greyed out on mine, which is (unintentionally) the Canadian version. But I have been told it is greyed out because VoLTE/Wifi Calling aren't enabled on the carrier side. In my case Ting says that my phone has LTE Band 12 and therefore VoLTE, but that will only work on ATT. A bit confusing because (like I said) the particular rom on my phone is Canadian (LMG850UM20e), so why ATT? The explanation for that, it seems is that ATT, (Sprint), and the unlocked Canadian version have the same sub-model (of the G8X - LMG850): LMG850UM. The USA unlocked version a different sub-model (LMG850QM), the rest of the world has yet another sub-model (LMQ850EMW). See this reddit post on the different models: https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG8X/comments/hvqdy4/hey_g8x_owner_what_is_the_submodel_number_and/

As far as I know all models (LMG850......) have the same hardware, the only difference are the roms, which artificially disable certain capabilities of the phone. I am pretty sure my phone would do VoLTE just fine on Ting (or most other carriers). The thing wrong here, I think, is that the IMEI and other specific identifiers of the phone artificially show that the phone does not have the functionality.

With all that said, I am still trying to find my around this problem. I'm considering flashing a different rom, tho not sure if that'll change what the IMEI and the other specific identifiers tell the cell carrier about compatibility. There is one report of T-Mobile supposedly fixing the same problem for a customer, see u/Veshtarii's comments on this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG8X/comments/irm2as/lg_g8x_unlocked_models_having_issues_with_us/

I also plan to keep updating this XDA forum post https://xdaforums.com/lg-g8X/help/unable-to-enable-volte-wifi-calling-t4185809 with what I find out about this problem, potential solutions, and hopefully what solves it. Hopefully my post will be useful to those with the same problem.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] foxxyman:
I have concluded it's not possible on any TMO towers. See my forum post for more details: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g8X/help/unable-to-enable-volte-wifi-calling-t4185809
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] wogeboy:
Odd since t-mobile now owns Sprint. You would think t-mobile would allow or update the sprint version to use wifi/volte etc..

Perhaps future t-mobile firmware/security updates will patch the sprint to use these services.. Certainly NOT customer friendly for those who migrated from sprint to t-mobile.

I can understand the att version not working w t-mobile but not the sprint version
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] acefr:
As far as I know, only the official US unlocked version LMG850QM has support for TMO VoLTE. None of other variants will work.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] foxxyman:
Maybe, I'm not sure still, even after all the research I've done. But I don't know everything of course. Also, after looking on ebay, the LMG850QM is like 450$ at the cheapest, compared to the 250$ of the LMG850UM ATT or Sprint versions, (the Canadian unlocked version is like 200$).

If you look in my forum post I referenced to in the previous comment of this post, I reference a reddit post where there is one person on sprint that got it working with a TMO tech person. That's the time I've heard about getting it working on T-Mobile.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] reachforthesky:
This MAY HELP

I have a Sprint unlocked version, runs on T-Mobile. No wifi-calling menu.

BUT I downloaded and installed an app from Play Store called Wifi Calling written by Widget7 (get the right one), This simple app appeared to turn on the wifi-calling feature in the hidden menu. Long story short, I got wifi- calling on T-Mobile.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] doctorman:
what about volte?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] reachforthesky:
The WiFi Calling app only reveals the hidden menu, nothing more.

T-Mobile have VoLTE on by default. You can disable it by selecting different types of mobile networks such as Automatic 3G/2G, LTE/3G, or 2G only. I have no experience on this.

I have confirmed this by dialing *#*#4636#*#* Both data and voice are over LTE. And the VoLTE on/off button is grayed out (based on the type of mobile network selected).
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] doctorman:
I mean does it matter which variety of the phone I have?

if I have a sprint model, will it work fully on tmobile with volte and wifi calling?

Hi guys,

For those who are not satisfied with the audio quality with the stock eadphones, let me share with you my setup.

- First you need to enable dolby atmos and set it up on movie.

- secondly you need to install an equalizer from playstore : equalizer fx

Setup equalizer fx :

In the first tab disable the eq

Second tab set it up like said in the attachment

Third tab, select classical type of profil

You’re good to go, this is the best that I’ve found.

Make sure you have nothing more than what I told you to setup to minimise interference

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] dariuxzy:
Dolby Atmos set on movie it's bad, especially when listening to music. This is useful when one sees films, because it manages to separate the central channel (voice) with the background (music and environment), thus creating a surround effect, and it is absolutely not suitable for music. For music, either put it on "music" or turn it off completely (recommended) dolby atmos, then use Eq well. For the eq use the original one from samsung or SoundAssistent, it is the best

Sure, but you will need to reflash kernel again after the update

That's great.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Gordietm:
So flashed the kernel with EX Kernel Manager. Everything works great and still rooted.

Thanks for your work!

Do you recommend to keep Ram Boost still enabled?

Can you please test if this fixes it? Thanks. Playing around with dts files a bit...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HottieLinus:
Hi,

I did a lot of tests using the stock, the 0530 and 0602 omega and can confirm that the issue is not fixed in 0602, however, I do find that the issue doesn't happen 10 out of 10 times, I would say it happens 8/10 times in both 0530 and 0602, and to replicate the issue you have to turn off the ultrashot HDR option in camera settings and using the 3x lens and take some photos.

Also, I do think the logs I sent you (using the 0530) doesn't have the information of the issue, coz I checked my gallery and found that the only photo I took at that time using 0530 was actually normal.

Please find attached the log of using 0602, this time I took some faulty ones...

Thanks for you help in advance!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kristofpetho:
Thank you for this. SO basically what you're saying is that with Ultrashot HDR set to ON, it's fine?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HottieLinus:
Yes, this issue is only present when hdr is off, you can turn off ultrashot hdr in settings and compare the photos taken with main lens and 3x lens.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kristofpetho:
Can you please take a screenshot of all the magisk modules you are using? Thank you

[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HottieLinus:
I restarted the phone with magisk core-only and took 3 photos with the 3x lens, the first one is normal and the other 2 are faulty. The log is attached
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HottieLinus:
The 3 photos taken are attached here.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kristofpetho:
Thanks, and this is all with Ultrashot HDR disabled, correct?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HottieLinus:
Yes, and I just went back to stock kernel and took multiple photos with 3x lens and ultrashot hdr off and all of them are normal.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kristofpetho:
So I now know why I'm not seeing any problems: I always have Ultrashot HDR enabled...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HottieLinus:
Me personally always have it on also... It's just that I saw somebody posted this issue with ultrashot hdr off and using 3x lens so I wanted to replicate this issue...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kristofpetho:
Thank you - now at least we know how to replicate. :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HottieLinus:
No problem. Also this issue is not present all the time, but if you take the same photo several times (ultrashot hdr off, 3 lens) you will see the issue.

So. The issue is only there, when you have 3x zoom enabled, and HDR is not turned on. So if you see the HDR symbol at the top of the camera, the picture will be fine.

Thank you.

I just updated to 10.5.9 myself, and since there was such a long changelog, it makes sense to wait for updated kernel sources. I'm expecting it still this weekend, hopefully that will also take care of the 3x zoom bug we are seeing on all custom kernels.

I'm really hoping the claim of better battery life in the changelog is real and noticeable.. That, combined with your removal of loggers could be simply magical. Battery life is, and has for a long time, been one of my main concerns.
