Hi. If you check the kernel sources you'll find that last commit is from late April. No chance it has something to do with your issue. Regarding to Lineage sources, June's ASB included a lot of changes but honestly, I noticed zero additional drain here.

There's a chance that it's a hardware problem (aging battery) or some other app you installed recently. You can easily check that by going back to your previous build or doing a clean flash (Roar Gapps mini me is a must) and using the phone with the bare minimum.

Flashed this rom and ran into an interesting problem. When I play audio (whether it be through bluetooth or the headphone jack), the audio plays only through the right channel. I don't remember changing any balance settings in the AudioFX equalizer. Should I just reflash or how should I go about trying to fix this? This problem wasn't present on previously installed HavocOS.

EDIT: Nevermind, found the setting. The audio balance slider was set all the way to the right channel under Accessibility for some reason. I am 1000% certain I haven't touched this slider as I haven't even opened accessibility settings since flashing this rom.

Great rom. Switched over from Havoc because the battery drain was getting unbearable. This one seems to have much better battery life. Lost some customization settings but overall this rom is very good too, great daily driver.

Installed, and working really well. Google Recorder also working natively now. Thank you so much for the continued support.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Gabbbbbbb:
Thanks for making/maintaining this rom!

I installed this today for the first time after using Havoc for nearly two years.

I'm very satisfied with most things, the performance is the best I've ever had on my G6. The only problem I've noticed is that my phone heated up more than ever before. (I installed only Signal and Reddit sync & started browsing Reddit before the phone started acting like a clothes iron.)

So I remembered that I bought Ex Kernel Manager many years ago & setting the cpu scheduler from interactive to conservative made the heat manageable, whilst the performance is still brilliant.

Cheers!

edit: The charging temps are more than a little crazy, it would be nice if Lineage supported slow charging, like some Samsung phones did in the past.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Hesuss:
Hey Bernardo, I'm having some issues with Magisk not installing after a clean flash, sent you a DM with more details. I'm using SHRP and a H870 that previously had lineageOS 17 and Magisk v23 installed without issues.

Mounting /system

Mounting /vendor

cannot mount /vendor

Unmounting partitions

Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

Error installing zip file '/sdcard/SHRP/addons/c_magisk.zip

Remounted system as R/W!

I also wonder is there is any way to make holding the spacebar and swiping left or right move the cursor like gboard supported and iOS works, but that is secondary to the main problem

EDIT: How can we check if we have a Quad DAC on our G6's? If we have it, is there any toggle in the ROM?

EDIT 2: flashing Magisk manually seems to have fixed it, but I wonder why it didn't work straight from the ROM...
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Hi Hesuss. Magisk works fine. To flash it and get SafetyNet working:

- Download latest Magisk APK: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v23.0

- Rename the extension of the downloaded file to .zip and flash it through recovery

- Reboot to system and check if Magisk Manager is there. If you can't find it, manually install it with the same APK you downloaded during the first step

- To bypass SafetyNet you need to hide Magisk Manager from within its options. And if there are apps that still detect root, you need to use Magisk Hide for that specific app. You'll find tons of information if you google about how to do that.

You don't need any extra modules to bypass SafetyNet (we're already using Coral's device fingerprint).

Good luck
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Hesuss:
Got Magisk working already, I will try again with your instructions, thanks!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
I think only H870DS has Quad DAC.

And I've no idea about the spacebar thing.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Hesuss:
Did hide Magisk and hid the app in question from it's menu but it still gives me the error after reboot, I'm not sure what is wrong with it, I was able to fix that error in the past using that same method in a different app

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pbl3:
Hi bernardobas!

I am preparing to flash the ROM and have some questions about Magisk installation. You say that we should

However, on Magisk site, they recommend against this in favor of patching boot.img.

Some time ago, I think you also said in this thread it's best to get Magisk .zip from the Telegram group.

Could you tell why .zip method is better here and if the Telegram file is improved in any way over the one from the official site?

Also, the boot.img patch method gives options to preserve DM verity and disable force encryption. Does this have any impact considering the ROM does not support encryption?

Sorry if this was explained somewhere, I did spend some time looking for info, but couldn't find any that would definitely answer these questions.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Relax man, just follow the steps I described and you'll be fine.

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rossmurray:
Noted you dropped SHRP recommendation so switched over (only yesterday in fact) to TWRP beta which you kindly now linked in first post. Deleted SHRP folder from within /storage/emulated/0 via Total Commander.

Restart seemed to drop its options. Disabled toggle: system >> gestures >> power menu >> advanced restart. Restarted and then toggled it back on. Options restored. Flashed update as smooth as I've grown to expect from this awesome ROM. Thanks!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pbl3:
Edit: never mind, as usual, after hours of careful reading, the answer comes right after you ask someone.

Solution found here (go into recovery>TWRP with button combination instead of letting it boot to TWRP by itself, then reboot to system from TWRP)

I'll leave the original below, maybe it'll help someone.

Okay, so I tried flashing and did actually manage to screw something up ;) Now I'm stuck on TWRP even though flashing seemingly goes okay.

What I did:

1. had an encrypted H870 with the latest Pie

2. Disabled encryption (now I'm not so sure)

3. unlocked bootloader, mandatory factory reset, system worked okay

4. flashed TWRP

5. TWRP warned about encryption, I could not enter a correct password, could not wipe any of the partitions, could not flash anything as well

6. I read that it's due to encryption, formatting /data is the solution

7. after formatting /data, rebooted and there was a screen with a message about the device being compromised and that a factory reset is required

8. In TWRP, partition access was ok now; wiped all necessary partitions, flashed everything in order successfully

9. now, boots to recovery each time

So, I read that zeroing a part of /misc is the solution for TWRP loop, but I don't want to touch it unless necessary. I read that for some people, even formatting /data resulted in loss of permanent MAC.

I will appreciate any help before proceeding to mess it up more :)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] stahlsau:
dear gents,

maybe one of you has a clue for me, I can't find any solution:

Since the day I changed from another, older rom to lineage 18, I got issues with the bluetooth connection, but only in the car.

Playing music over bluetooth on a small speaker works for hours, but when I connect the mobile to the car for hands-free calls etc, the connection is getting lost. Always about 2 minutes after the screen times out. When I force the screen on, the connection stays stable.

Also it doesn't connect automatically to the car anymore.

I checked power saving options, disabled bluetooth from power saving menu, cleared bluetooth cache, deleted the phone and the car vice versa, ...dunno what else to do.

My guess is that since no data is transferred, since the connection ison standby, waiting for phone calls, the connection is getting cut from some powersaving option or something like that. But I can't find anything.

Worked flawlessly with android 10 and an other rom before.

Any ideas or a hint maybe, someone?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] laufer:
Hi Bernardo, I just dirty-flashed this update and am wondering about the security patch level.

Under Settings > About phone > Android version, it says

- Android security update: July 1, 2018

- Vendor security patch level: February 1, 2019

Shouldn't one of them say August 1, 2021? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Hi. The patch date is under Android security update. Check my screenshot.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] laufer:
Thanks for your prompt response.

Mine does say July 1, 2018! I should have mentioned that I'm on a us997.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
I've no idea where that comes from. Maybe you're using a module or somehow modified your build.prop.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] laufer:
No, I performed a standard dirty flash per your instructions (including Magisk). I believe the previous version from early July did show the correct July 1, 2021, Android security patch level.

Maybe it'll go away with your next update. I'll keep an eye on it.

Thanks!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] stahlsau:
I can confirm that this issue happens also on other android 11 roms. No idea if those I tried were lineage-based or not, though.

I' ll try with changing some bluetooth protocols and /or enabling gabeldorsche stack, maybe it'll help...

Hi, two quick questions.

#1: How's the batterylife compared to latest stock rom?

and #2: Is Linage pre-rooted / will safety-net pass out of the box? (Don't need root on my phone, but I use some apps that have safety-net checks.)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
It depends on which stock rom, some variants got stock Oreo while h870 got Pie update. Anyway, battery life is good enough.

Lineage is not pre rooted and will pass SafetyNet.

You can join the Telegram group to get more information. Link is in the first post of this thread.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] laufer:
@bernardobas FYI, this issue went away without me making any changes. It's showing the Android security update as August 5, 2021. Thanks again!

What's required for being officially built by LineageOS servers? How come this H870 LOS18.1 ROM isn't? It would be nice with an automatic updater.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
It's required that we comply with some standards that we don't, like fixing our tree for camera, encryption and so on. And also to adapt that tree/kernel to the official LG msm8996 common sources that are being used for official G5 Lineage.

That's a hard, time consuming task that we cannnot tackle right now.

Fair enough, thanks for the answer!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zarolio:
I installed version 18.1 almost a week ago on my H870 and it was a really tiresome process because my phone would not read my sdxc.

I did a clean flash. Wiped everything.

I tried to repair card on Windows but even after all having been fixed my phone would not read it and it suggested a full format. I tried to return to a previous backup of Android 10 (Havoc) but TWRP failed to restore it. I clean flashed Havoc A10 and it would read the sd card just fine.

I reinstalled 18.1 (after full wipe) and it would still not read the card. I copied all data (100 gb) to my pc and then i formatted the card with my phone. After that it recognized my card. I tried to transfer the data from my pc to my phone but it wouldn't move more than 2 gb (give or take). i took the card out and placed to my pc with an adapter and transferred the data (finally). After that my phone would read all the content of my card.

Sorry for the long version. Just wanted to help anyone with the same problem. I guess there is some difference in sd card format from previous version.

I use no GAPPS. I use microg. I works perfectly if apps are installed after microg. if not they rarely connect to cloud etc.

Please fix screen time out. It always returns to 1 min no matter what you select.

IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY. THANK YOU
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Try flashing bootloader + rom. That may help with the rebooting issue. I tested myself several times with Youtube and never ended up in a random reboot. Download the latest bootloader version for your device from this link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lg-g6/files/Bootloaders/

Regarding to the SD card thing, well... Adoptable storage can be really tricky. Your card may be readable on other devices but if it has a bad sector of if it's too slow, it won't work as internal storage. There are many other possible reasons for it to fail, that's why I don't recommend using it that way. Long story short, it's not a rom bug (it did work for other users) and it's always safer to use it as a separate card.

Thank you for creating the 17.1 version of LineageOS for the LG G6. Unfortunately when I install the ROM and gapps and I reboot to recovery, TWRP will not recognize the system and data partitions. I've tried multiple versions of the TWRP recovery(and the mentioned Sky Hawk recovery in your post) but nothing seems to work. Could you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing? Thanks in advance.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Using SkyHawk recovery is mandatory. There are many other recoveries out there and almost none of them support Android 10.

Are you coming from another Android 10 based rom? I guess you are not. In that case, I think you need to format the data partition.

If that doesn't work, get back to the thread that you read to unlock and install a custom recovery for your device variant and check if you missed something.

Also check if you are using the correct bootloader.

All the links are listed in the OP.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JurriaanP:
Thank you for your reply. I have installed Lineage 14.1 before this rom so it is quite a jump for me. I have installed the bootloader that you mentioned and I have tried SkyHawk but I was having trouble with connecting with adb to connect to the phone while in SkyHawk recovery, it gave me the error message that the device was "unauthorized" and I was unable to find on the internet what to do so I switched back to TWRP. I use adb push to copy the install zips to the phone before installation. Could you tell me how to authorize adb use in SkyHawk?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Never used adb with SkyHawk, but there are some options under Advanced / Sideload.

You can try other ways to copy files to your device, too. Or simply download them from the device itself.

Edit: if you join the TG group listed in the OP you may get help from others that may have been through the same
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JurriaanP:

After doing some research with [MENTION=10327533]-Androider-[/MENTION] (former LOS maintainer), we found that random reboots may be caused by AudioFX failing to work properly along with the latest audio blobs. If you remove that app, the issue should be gone.

To remove AudioFX:

- reboot into recovery

- mount system partition

- go to system_root/system/priv-app/ and remove the AudioFX folder

- wipe dalvik and cache

- reboot

Let me know if it works
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ProGameAndy:
At first I would like to thank you for the work you put into providing LineageOS for the LG G6. I really appreciate it!

It looks like AudioFX caused the random reboots to recovery. Flashing the bootloader and installing the rom again after a complete wipe didn't solve the problem on my phone. But after I uninstalled the AudioFX app I haven't had a reboot till date. I'm going to report back in one or two days if another reboot happened.

Update: It is save to say that AudioFX caused the random reboots. I haven't had a single reboot to recovery after I removed it.
