[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jesus is God Almighty:
Okay lets make a minor update to gather my morning thoughts.

2 phones I am dancing with, my old H990N and my used F800K.

So here the thing, after getting Android 8 stock installed, you need an older version of TWRP, official 3.2.3 to pass the security encryption. If you install any other it seems to not work - although afterwards you do need to install a newer version of TWRP to see the internal storage. 3.3.0 seems to be the lowest that works for that.

For the H990 *also dual sim* I am using H990 3.2.3 TWRP and for the F800K I am using US996 3.2.3 TWRP to get through the security check. Thereafter install a newer version to be able to backup internal and such.

There is a fix I have yet to try for TWRP that should make it able to really backup what is needed, Tipatch it is called, I do not know if it will work better with some of the older version with TWRP then the newer once. I am mostly using TWRP 3.4.1 for both phones, although different variant. Again H990 for H990N and US996 for F800K.

Beside there is a work around here: ✏ How to backup your internal storage through a TWRP backup - Help / Guides - Fairphone Community Forum which I have yet to try.

Just tired of the work arounds, it is an endless thing of work around in the Android world - but faulty designed overall and purposely jailing the user as good Roman Papists always tend to do. No freedom :/ And if you get out in freedom they will give you much problems, and surely we have when we get out of the Android Jail, or Spy phone of theirs.

Anyway... I am now backing up my F800K and doing the last couple of things for installing the H990DS Stock on that as well, I have done the same on the H990N. It seemed to be the Stock DS that fixed my Camera and Rotation issue on both phones, restoring the original backups afterwards which then worked - first one got it then afterwards the other, very tedious. Which still I have no idea why or how that came about. But... both mobile phones seemed to be able to run the Rom, so now I am in the way of fixing that on both and time will tell if it works or not.

Last backup on the F800K and I am ready to jump into it :)

I did get both phones running with there original Rom versions that I used, and I could have just gone on with that really. But I got the idea of just wanting to try out this DS stock on both and hope for the best. I do not know if the Camera and Rotation issue would ever have come up again, overall I guess time will tell. But if the DS stock fixed it, then it might never come again. One can only hope.

Anyway... Stock H990DS did seem to run pretty good on both phones, so... We will see.

Thats pretty much it, I guess... for now... Just my thoughts. The one mobile is backing up and the other is... well... I wonder BRB. I was doing some Titanium Backup yet not sure if it finished with that. Although just wanting to try out some things quickly I found out there was issues with the Root apps restored *SIGH* - dunno why, had to reinstall 2 of them, and might be others that needs it as well. Just used LG Switch for moving things from one phone to the other.

Sadly LG Switch as far as I recall testing, cannot be used for my new phone to mobile and restore applications - that is only one way direction, to LG... Of cause.... Why make an app for others to use to help them... The typical bull**** of the world.

The Android platform is sick, sick to the core - I really hope we will see some REAL Linux phones based on Richard Stallman principal of Freedom for the user. The Librem did seem to get the acceptance for this, but it is just not ready for daily use sadly.

FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Anyway... This world is Wacky Wacko nuts - we could have used our energy on improving it, and yet there are lots of Satanist who wanna just control us and make there New disgusting Roman World Order.
