sounds like your tree is corrupted, I'd blow it away and resync.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ravenchaser210:
Does that mean this phone is good as dead next year in the US, since they are shutting down 3g and you'll need a voLTE compatible device to work...?

(Yes Going back to stock ROM means death lol)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
likely. Depends on your network.

The torch is not working on my most recent build (15Sept). The torch tile on the drop down settings has "Camera in use".

I'm reasonably confident that none of my changes affect the torch or camera.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
what are your changes?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
I'm building a new version to see what happens.

At the moment, my changes are minor: updater (local OTA server), signing keys, and gps.

Best wishes,

Bob
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
What do you do different for GPS?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
At the moment, just a slightly different gps.conf. Until the spring, I didn't have Gapps, and used a different NetworkLocation. But, my wife broke her phone and wanted to use my spare H850 until she got a new phone. She uses google, and I didn't want to keep up two versions, so I made a standard version. Now she doesn't want to get a new phone. :)

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] etmatrix:
Sometimes I have the same issue, but I use the official rom. After one or two reboot the issued is solved.

Only one time I turned on the torch with ToolBox and the issued is solved.

I have google camera so I thought this the cause, but you do not have gapps.

I never opened an issue because is not easy to understand the cause.

In about 6 months I've been using LOS, it happened about 5 times.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
An aside relevant to building. Without creating the appropriate soft link, I get fail messages of the following kind.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/<username>/android/lineage/lineage-18.1/kernel/lge/msm8996/scripts/sign-file line 13.
Can't locate Getopt/Std.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Getopt::Std module) (@INC contains: /home/<username>/android/lineage/lineage-18.1/prebuilts/tools-lineage/common/perl-base /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.26 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26 /usr/share/perl/5.26 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at /home/<username>/android/lineage/lineage-18.1/kernel/lge/msm8996/scripts/sign-file line 13.

Although I have Getopt/Std.pm installed, there is a mismatch (and has been in the past) between my installed version of Perl (e.g., now it is 5.32.1) and the expected version of Perl (here 5.26.1). Although it can be fixed with an appropriate soft link, it might be better if Getopt/Std.pm were to be included in the prebuilts.

It's either showing the actual orientation of the screen or orientation mode you've chosen.

What is h860?

If we don't already it would probably be pretty easy to support.

Is it international? Is it dual sim?

Also in this thread someone talk about this.

Is not a LOS issue.

I have issue on GPS also when was running stock firmware.

Right after I installed LOS, I had to open Google Maps and leave the GPS on, WiFi off, mobile data on, with the screen on for almost ten minutes before it got its first position fix.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] wonzay:
My old smartphone (lg spirit, lineage 14.1) has a similar behaviour on lte. When I force it to 3g (via "network signal guru" app) - gps works. Strange things happen. ;)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rlvddoes@gmail.com:
My h850 GPS worked fine, until a few updates ago. No signal at all, frome none of the available satellites.

There have been GPS issues before, which could be overcome by installing ROMs in a specific order, but that was fixed some time ago.

Anyway: back to stock Oreo for the time being (on which GPS is fime).

BTW: exactly the same on my LG V20 (h910).

Hey Folks,

I´m new in the Forum, that´s my first post.

I´m looking for help on a BT disconnecting problem for my LG 5 which I´m using since a couple of weeks.

The phone is not recognized by the car till I switch on the screen.

Then it´s permanently disconnecting from the car and immediatly connecting back when the screen is switch on.

I´m using Lineage OS 18.1 with latest update from October 3rd.

Any thoughts and advices what to to appreciated.

Best Regads

Try to disable battery optimisation for bluetooth.

For a temporary workaround please check this app (enable cpu wakelock when you use bt; it has widget for this purpose too): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wldonate
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] SaMa63:
Hallo wonzay,

first, thanks for your quick feedack, really appreciated.

Disabeling battery optimization was not helping.

Looks like wakelock is working. But I can only find the option "Keeps the CPU from going into standby", but w/o any connection to bt.??

Not sure how quick this is draining the battery.

What I also recognized is, that the System Profil option is not working with bt as trigger.

I tried to config a system profil for the vehicle. But bt is not accepted as trigger.

Remark:

On my Moto X4 which is also running at Lineage OS 18.1 I have no bt problem in the vehicle at all and can also config a system profil with bt as trigger.

Regards

SaMa
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] wonzay:
Because there is no option for bt, only for cpu. Deep sleep mode doesn't work when the cpu wakelock is set. This is temporary solution only, not for daily use. I don't have Los 18.1, so I am not able to help you in the right way.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] SaMa63:
Thanks wonzay,

anyone else who can help me?

THANK YOU!

BTW, I just flashed from stock. Everything looks ok except Filmic Pro keeps crashing, what have I done wrong??

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.compatibilitytest&gl=US

Filmic Pro: Mobile Cine Camera - Apps on Google Play

The professional choice of Oscar-winning directors

play.google.com

And which camera app you guys use?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] etmatrix:
If you start from stock 8.0 I suggest to follow this post

Upgrade from 8.0 make some issues, someone report camera, someone nfc and someone bluetooth

I tested filmpro evaluator and works

I use google camera 8.1 suggested here

There is also this from VortexHD but I have not tested
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] nostupidthing:
THX!

NFC is indeed not working... Anyhow I don't really need to use NFC so and since I already set up the phone, don't want to down flash right now.

Camera in all other apps and BT works very fine. I think it's something Filmic need to fix. See what they have in store.

Keep posted.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] nostupidthing:
The other thing is that GPS is not working now but you know G5 has so much problem I'm not sure if it's working before I flash or not anyway.

BTW, can first post be updated to advise ppl flash to 15.1 first?

Edit: GPS confirm is hardware problem, I fixed it again with another solder wire, hope it last for a few years

Thanks for keeping our device alive anyway
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] BeamMeUp3:
I've found a lot threads about people unable to use fastboot commands for their H830 device, but I haven't found a workaround for flashing custom recovery that applies in 2021. I've been able to use ADB and FASTBOOT for my other devices (OnePlus 7 Pro, LG G6). The LineageOS directions do not mention anything on the subject. I'll keep searching for a solution.

oh yeah thats it, we only support WPA2 fallback, our chip doesn't allow WPA3 strict.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] nostupidthing:
Ahhhhh IC.... Thanks for prompt reply.

Thought it's more of a software issue though? My years old router was able to handle WPA3 just fine after upgrading OpenWrt to latest.....
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
It's a wifi firmware issue.

And LGE/BCM don't update our chip anymore.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mkdr:
Hey guys, still on the official 8.0.0 ROM by LG for my EU H850. Wondering if I should switch to this ROM. Anything not working buggy or annoying compared to the official ROM except Wifi calling? Anything not working, like banking apps or Netflix ect? As I understand it still uses the old drivers from 8.0.0 I guess because drivers are closed? So even with this ROM it would have all the security exploits of the 8.0.0 ROM in Bluetooth and Wifi?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] tremalnaik:
Hi! Two problems that are NEVER stated in any Lineage rom "Known bugs" list, even though they have been regularly discussed, are IR blaster and FM radio. The IR works only one time, then it crashes and you have to reboot the phone to make it work again. FM radio just doesn't work, or at least id didn't work the last time it was discussed on this thread, but maybe it has be fixed in the meanwhile.

These two bugs are the reason I'm still using LG's 8.0 ROM as well.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
IR - Gamma kernel apparently has a fix for it, but I can't isolate what of their's actually fixed the problem.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
File a bug report with logs like the wiki says.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] etmatrix:
This issue is already open for that and the workaround found from @VortexHD is donwgrade to lineageos 15.1 and after install LOS 18.1.

The issue is on version of firmware on nfc chip is too new and new lineageos are unable to downgrade it.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
That statement makes no sense. We use the same firmware we always have.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] etmatrix:
on android 8.0 stock firmware the version of firmware was 1.A0 while with LOS 17.1 and 18.1 the version is 1.1E

Here the log when I analyzed the issue.

After the installation of LOS 15.1 the firmware is the same of 17.1 and 18.1 so they don't try to download the firmware, if they try to download a firmware fails.

This was the issue which I opened when I started my experience with LOS.

Have you never tried to use the version 1.A0?

Maybe the update of firmware is not for all device I have version H850.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
That's not how the firmware upload process works - it's likely some caching. Link me a copy of the functional firmware, and I'll include it for G5, keep current for v20.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
I too am now having problems with NFC. I have a phone that I broke recently (motherboard where it attached to bottom battery holder). NFC worked on it. I had been using it since lineage 14 (I think).

I got a replacement, as my wife is using my spare. NFC doesn't work on the replacement or my wife's. I also got another spare to play with. I tried all sorts of things with the spare. Stock firmware H85010C -> Lineage 15.1. H85020D -> Lineage 15.1. And lots more. NFC works on stock every time. NFC doesn't work on lineage no matter what pattern of ROM changes I tried. It may be that the 15.1 I'm using isn't so good. So, if anyone has a link to Lineage 15.1 where they know that NFC works on it, I would be grateful.

I build my own ROMs, and use TheMuppets for firmware blobs, although I also tried using Official.

Best wishes,

Bob

here you can download a tar xz with 2 file

here there is the load of firmware from so, but you already know it
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] etmatrix:
I have used this

There is also another path for got NFC working but I can't find it, I have used the first time about one year ago, I remember you should start from Android 7.0 stock firmware and install all versions of lineageos, on last step you can wipe all and install LOS 17.1 (I started with LOS from version 17.1), maybe now you can use LOS 18.1.

Android 7.0 stock firmware should install firmware 1.1E on nfc chip.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
My build doesn't pick up (install) libpn548ad_fw_64.so, even if it is available. Which it isn't when pulling in TheMuppets blobs. I think that I will have a closer look at this later.

Best wishes

Bob

PS having libpn548ad_fw_64.so in the ROM (no other changes) did not make a difference.

RLF
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
So, those libs don't fix it?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
At least not how I used them. Although I included the 64bit library in the system, I don't know whether anything is using it.

It is curious that the stock ROM has a 64bit library, but it isn't there on TheMuppets. But, I don't know the nfc system.

What I find really curious, and that which disturbs both my sensibilities about logic and the workings of the physical world, is that idea that the order of changing ROMs could make a difference. If a complete ROM works with any token of H850 hardware, it should work with any token of the same type of hardware. Something about this stuff being relatively deterministic, repeatable, and the like..

Best wishes,

Bob
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bernardobas:
I remember fixing NFC after this post during the old LOS 14.1 days. You can find that NFC driver zip here.

After that, I started using my own LOS 15.1 builds and then I jumped straight to 18.1 and NFC still works. Always clean flashed stuff.

I hope this helps anyhow.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
Thanks. It turns out that the firmware library in the NFC driver zip has exactly the same md5sum value as the one in TheMuppets (i.e., the one standardly included in the ROM).

Best wishes,

Bob
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] etmatrix:
You asked me the firmware and in that files there is the latest firmware available on LG G5.

I don't know how to solve that issue and I think the workaround is good for me.

LOS 17.1 and newer are unable to download firmware on chip, so after the installation of LOS 15.1 there is a good version of firmware and LOS don't need to update firmware and go on.

This issue exist only when there is the upgrade from Android 8.0 stock firmware to LOS 17.1 and newer.

If you start from android 7.0 the issue doesn't exist because the version of firmware is already good for LOS.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bobbyaillery:
I hope someone with my issue sees this. I have almost no problems with this ROM. But when I have my network mode switched to "LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/ EvDo/GSM/WCDMA" I get very random freezes followed by a hard crash and system reboot. Switching to "TDSCDMA/CDMA/ EvDo/GSM/WCDMA" fixes my problem so I know it is LTE related. Can anyone help me?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] :
I'm not sure if this is specific to the h850 build or LineageOS in more general, but:

I can't access the internal storage. File viewer doesn't show any folders, in the side menu I can select Downloads but that shows

"cant load content at the moment"​

Storage manager shows the full 32 gb is available.

After going a while with opengapps installed, I decided to go back to vanilla lineageos. Wiped and flashed, this is the situation.

edit. First I flashed todays build, then tried last weeks version.

Is it possible to get a custom rom on H850 from South Africa

Must i do a chip erase in LGUP and then somehow backup my IMEI as I see that is the next problem.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] askermk2000:
IIRC H850 is unlocked only officially through LG. And they only offer unlock for EU H850.

So basically you have a phone which can't be unlocked, unless some hack thing is discovered.
