Very funny haha
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ankerlevel:
You should thank the devs instead of complaining about something being unstable.

Or at least give feedback about the bugs you might have found.

The rom is very stable, but you have no idea about that cause you didn't even unlock your bootloader.

And even if it was unstable, you can get back to stock or whatever you prefer.

You got what you deserve.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] damod11:
Its cleared up now.

Will the Open Gapps v10 work with this release, their website doesnt have android v11 yet. I dont understand how to get the roar gapps. I want to try this new release but I have always used opens gapps
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
No, they won't work.

There's a link to Roar Gapps mini me in the first post of this thread, not so difficult.

Just flashed LineageOS 18.1 on my H870 and flashlight & camera does NOT work. Any fix for this, or should I try 17.1?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Known issue. Probably need to flash nougat kdz, upgrade to oreo and start over.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kiel007:
What do you mean "known issue"? On first post camera is stated as working... If I expected shenanigans with camera I would not bother flashing.

I am new to custom roms, it's a second time I am doing this, so sorry if my question is lame. What should I do to make this camera and flashlight work?! I had working android Pie before... Why would I flash decades old nougat instead of just flashing pie?!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
I mean that it's something that may happen even when upgrading from stock Oreo to Pie or under other similar circumstances. It's not a rom issue, it's related to some LG crap.

If you do what I said you'll get everything fixed. I just talk after my experience dealing with all kind of LG****.

Start by flashing stock pie and check if that fixes your thing.

If you want to try other things, go ahead.

Good luck
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] sushiboba:
Well it has US997 listed, but when I check my hardware info, my model says LGUS997U. Isn't that similar/same?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
No
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] sushiboba:
This is so lame!! I finally got fastboot to work to get my device ID via fastboot... and the stupid LG website (which was a headache in itself to simply create an account) denied it... ALL THAT WORK FOR NOTHING

"Unfortunately, your device( United States, (AMAZON(USA)), LGUS997U.AMZ )does not support unlocking the bootloader."

I hate this phone.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Exactly. There's no known way to unlock your bootloader and without that you can't flash a custom recovery or rom.

It's very important to check if the specific model variant you are about to buy can be unlocked.

Need a bit of help with roar the gapps after ROM Installation. My goal is to get to Roar Standard. Does it mean I should install the RoarTheGapps_MINI-ME_20210307.zip and the install RoarTheGapps_20210307.zip immediately after??
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kiel007:
OK, I fixed camera, or at least I think I did. I installed havoc os - camera started working, but I didn't like havoc, so I flashed again Lineage 18.1 latest build and now camera seems to be OK.

Google Play works fine, I was able to install and run all my usual apps except one:

I would like to install PUBG MOBILE HUNDREDS RHYTHMS - when I try my phone downloads all 657 mb of data from googleplay and then displays error message: "It impossible to download PUBG MOBILE HUNDREDS RHYTHMS" (my free translation.) Same if I try to install COD MOBILE. I installed google play services. Any idea how to fix it, or what causes the problem?!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Seems that the obb fix isn't working with this kernel. I'll check.

You can dirty flash.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kiel007:
Well, in the meantime I downloaded apk from the official PUBG website and after transferring it to phone I was able to install game with no problem. Game works fine.

Still I would like this solved or to know workaround for future updates - inability to install big apps from google playstore. Phone seems to work really nice now. I will test it. Going to flash lineage on MI PAD 4 next.

One more question: can I somehow get rid of this ugly LG warning screen about unlocked bootloader? Is it possible to flash it with some other graphics? G6 is second phone I flashed with custom rom - on moto g3 it was possible to flash bin image to replace this ugly warning, but I can't find webpage with instruction I previously used.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Please, don't ask for ETAs, it's annoying.

I sent you a workaround in my previous post, but it will be fixed soon.

No, it's not possible to remove that warning.

I flashed the newest build and everything is working fine except a camera. Both GCamera and default camera app are crashing whenever I'm trying to launch them. Did anyone have the same problem?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kiel007:
Had the same issue day ago (post #225). Re-flashed Lineage and it was still not working. OP suggested restoring to stock rom and then flashing Lineage again. But LGUP stopped working for me, and I was unable to return to stock. So I fixed it by flashing havoc os - checking if camera work there, and then flashing again Lineage. Now it works. So try to flash this rom: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-h870-us997-h872-h870ds-a11-havocos-v4-2-official.3893668/ then check if camera works and clean flash Lineage again. Worked for me.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
You can try this new beta build: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lg-g6/files/Beta/

- fast charge should be fixed

- pubg thing should be fixed

Need to confirm if temps and drain are ok.

Thanks

I clean installed this rom and so far it works great. Thanks to all developers! I also installed microg with the magisk microg revived module. For me the location service isnt working great, does this work for you? Or is this a microg issue or something on my side?

Using roar gapps here, maybe someone else can help.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] kiel007:
I flashed lineage-18.1-20210325-UNOFFICIAL-h870.zip - seems to work perfectly fine. I was able to install PUBG from google playstore. Game works fine, 30 min round and battery down from 99% to 83% (no sim inside, but still rather good result IMHO). The Phone was hot (not critical hot), but its old phone and demanding game, so I don't think it overheats.

I am using this old G6 mainly as internet camera (via IVCam app). Since I lately damaged my daily driver I decided to flash new os into G6 just it in case my daily driver died, and I had to use this backup phone for a while - and I need dark mode and gesture navigation for this (not available in stock soft). I am honestly surprised how a nice little device it becomes after flashing Lineage. Thanx!

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pococos:
Hello,

I did update from de February build to the last one (26/03/21).

The overall experience is good as for the previous one.

Here the different issues I encounter:

Instagram: Vidéo was buggy in both versions

Spotify: in the latest version song tend to not load, I will do some more testing on this

I had a weird issue when passing the phonecall, I think the device had difficulties switching antennas. Basically if I walk and have a phone call, at some point when I'm far from the antenna the call will stop and I have to call back

My battery drain quite quickly, but still it provides better usage than the previous ROM I had

I can provide logs if needed, I just don't know-how.

Oh and it's not a request to be fixed, I can live with this :)

Thanks for your job
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Are you using official Instagram app? Apps like instander or similar are crap.

What gapps package are you using?

Spotify thing always happens even on stock (which I also use for testing on a second G6).

Not sure if you are using regular or wifi phone calls but seems like you are on a weak signal spot. I use my phone quite a lot and never have signal issues or calls missed.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pococos:
I am using the official Instagram app, this issue appeared with the new renderer (that makes the phone much smoother, thanks for that :D ) only on the Reels. I have this issue on Instagram, but all the other apps with video content work perfectly well (tik tok, youtube, Instagram stories, etc.)

On Spotify, it seems to work better after a reboot.

Regarding the phone call, it's one regular phone call, not on wifi one. It doesn't bother me haha, I prefer to use vocals.

Regarding the thermals & battery life, I think my phone works better with a low battery than before, the temps are similar, the battery life is not as good as what I had with Havoc 3.11 but as its a lot smoother, it's all good for me :)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Just tested reels and no issues at all.

I recommend doing a clean flash + gapps & trash remover, roar gapps mini me (op links) and magisk 22.

Temps are similar than A10 now, you should get that after a clean flash. Stand by drain needs to be improved.

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Check a couple of posts before yours. Some users went through the same and they were able to fix it quite easily.

Other way to solve it would be to flash Pie KDZ (with LG software) and then upgrade to the latest KDZ to start over and flash a new recovery, ROM, and all the rest. This fix is a sure thing but takes longer, the one done by other users may be easier but may not 100% effective.

As I mentioned before, this is due to some LG crap. I even had this issue while being on Stock Oreo (once with camera and some other time with proximity sensor).

Good luck
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Most likely it's a hardware issue (card, slot, tray).

A bit of an update - I flashed havocos and then returned to the stock rom. The camera still doesn't work and it was working before. If anyone had the same problem and knows the solution - please tell me.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Ins3rt:

Why on 18.1 the charging rate is too slow (780mA) while on the 17.1 was quite fast (1800 mA)? I tryed also the USB fast charging option on different power adapter but nothing, the maximum remain to 780mA. How to fix?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] samlibardi:

Hello,

I'm just testing the last release and it fixes the Proshot camera app on my device 🙂

I still have my weird issue on some Instagram Reels, it's may be due to some driver update I did some time ago 😅

I will do a feedback of the temps and battery life in a few days

Thank you for your work!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Glad that new camera blobs fixed your app issue.

Just clean flashed my second G6 and I can confirm IG reels are working fine.

Clean flashing is also recommended to get the best possible battery life. Takes a couple of days to reach the best performance tho.

Hello,

I just installed the lastest rom on my LG G6 H870 and everything seems to be ok. It's just when I want to install magisk from recovery, it says it cannot mount /vendor partition. Any idea where this can come from ?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] spinx77:
Hello, thank you very much for this ROM. It's really nice that you support this device. Yesterday I installed the rom as described (over stock Nougat which was previously flashed with LGUP) and everything works great.

Is it safe to install Magisk when the ROM was already used for a while? Can I flash with Skyhawk recovery?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
- Make sure you are running the recovery stated in the OP

- Use the ZIP from the TG group and flash it through recovery
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
If you flashed the rom on top of Nougat you'll need to update your bootloader or some things will not work (such as fingerprint reader).

It is safe to flash Magisk at any moment. I recommend using the ZIP posted in the G6 Telegram group.

More info about both things in the first post of this thread.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] louisld:
I have the same recovery as OP. I finally just installed magisk with the official magisk github repo instead of using the recovery button.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pococos:
I will proceed to a clean flash and avoid Nikk Gapp and replace them by Roar Gapps :)

Thanks for the advice.

Regarding battery life, I guess that my LG G6 won't have a great one again due to it's wear, years of charging my phone every night ^^"

Is it just me who has experience with a handful of cyanogen mod and lineage-OS installs and still has to spend hours every time again to get a new phone running?

In other words, the Android modding community is still a fascinating sociologic phenomenon.

This time it was a LG G6, with stock Android 10 installed.

LG forces you to accept multiple regulations that "statistic" data is send to them - more than the one that Google asks. This is e-v-i-l so you want a new OS without LG bloatware.

The lineage OS wiki says there is no official port - so I was happy to find this thread.

>> What does our master mean with "Clean flash is mandatory"? <<

Finally I succeeded with these steps:

1- adb / fastboot as well as LG drivers were installed on the Windows 10 Laptop

2- Stock LG Bootloader prevents flashing new ROMs and has to be unlocked:

>> https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev

>> Setup an account at LG as developer, send IMEI and Device-ID, get Email

>> fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin > success

- "Update your bootloader" was not neccessary (because G6 was already running And.11)

3- A TWRP recovery image has to be installed (stock G6 recovery does not suffice)

Lesson learned: SkyHawk Recovery Project is just a UI on top of TWRP !

BUT: "It's a flasheable ZIP, no need to unzip" is wrong > error "image is not a boot image"

> The recovery.img file has to be extracted manually out of SHRP_v2.3.2_h870-233920072020.zip

Then:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache .. reboot

4- Boot into Sky Hawk TWRP:

vol-down + Power buttons, Logo appears > Power button relased for 1 sec

5- Sky Hawk > Wipe data, cache, davlik > Ok

Advanced > sideload

6- On the PC connected via USB:

adb sideload lineage-18.1-20210408-UNOFFICIAL-h870.zip

after success: advanced > sideload again:

adb sideload RoarTheGapps_MINI-ME_20210407.zip

7- reboot > Lineage OS Logo appears - puhh

Took me the half day and I missed the MotoGP race .. f**k !
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] placidns11:
First of all thanks to dev for updates. I've using the rom for a month or more now. Most functions work just great for me. Here are some things I've noticed that affect my daily use the most.

The Bluetooth on my car lincoln mkz 2017 has never had any problems in the past connecting when I turn on the car. With Android 11 it will not auto connect unless I wake up my phone screen. Not sure if is it an Android 11 feature change or if the rom is making this happen. The other thing that goes along with that is the Ford/lincoln Alexa app for android. It always was able to use the app once the Bluetooth is connected. Now I have to manually open the app on the phone before the car can detect that it's available. Anyone else see any thing like this on their end with bluetooth.??

The last thing that happens commonly is when I unlock my phone the screen will freeze up for about 5 to up to 10 seconds, before it allows me to move or do anything. Many times after this happens I'll get a system UI has stopped responding error. The phone works fine after the time passes in the error is cleared
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
Well, you made things in the most twisted way. So when you asume some op step is wrrong, it's because of that.

There is a lot of info about how to unlock and flash a new recovery (xda, Telegram). Next time take the time to Google a bit and it will take you about an hour like any other human being. And you won't miss your race or whatever.

Good luck
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
BT usually tries to reconnect to the last connected device, but yeah it has to be improved.

For the frozen screen issue, I recommend doing a clean flash and using the gapps stated on the first post of this thread. I have zero lag with that.
