Don't remember exactly how i did it to rename mine, i think i used Gparted on my linux distro to format it to a suitable partition format and renamed it before the UUID was calculated, then i just inserted into my phone and it recognized the renamed SD right away. Not sure if android 11 has such a feature, or even windows for that matter.

still cant get the fingerprint scanner to work. us996

anybody able to get it to work on this ROM? what workaround did you use?

nvmd. downgraded to nougat and reflashed. it works now.

any way to force more than 5 fingerprints?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
then it's a hardware issue.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
nope - they're stored in hardware storage, and 5 is the limit.

Hi

It's been a while since I was here, because I could not find ANY solution for my issues and I learned the hard way not to have hope for any fix and live with what I have.

I was passing by this forum and thought to ask if any of them got fixed

my device:

LG v20! h990-DS

my problems:

1. kernel crash on mobile data almost every 20minutes. (wont happen if I'm on wifi)

2. gps takes more than 10 minutes to find my accurate location.

3. camera....... #$#$@#$

4. infrared is not working

5. screen cast is not working

6. apps not working here (while they worked flawlessly in unofficial version)

7. no clipboard

8. no one-hand operation mode

and the fun part is that in the OP, the only issue is the VoLTE!

so, if any one has any recommendation for any of the above issues (specially number 1 and 2) I would love to hear

PS. GCAM is not a fix, for 2 reasons.

1. it does not work properly

2. I cant video call with it! can I?!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
Did you start on Nougat firmware? It sounds like you started on Oreo.

1. Are you running the normal lineage kernel? I don't see such crashes on H918 - maybe it's the dual SIM stuff that makes it happen?

2. GPS should be fine on Nougat firmware

3. Again, camera works on Nougat firmware

4. IR is a known issue - it works once, trying to figure out what kernel commit fixes it - as gamma kernel apparently fixes it

5. Screen cast works fine, miricast isn't available for this device, I'll hide the toggle.

6. Something is seriously wrong with your install

7. Again, something is seriously wrong, all this works for everyone else for hte ost part

8. Yeah, LineageOS doesn't have that feature on 18.1
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Draknodd:
It works with TWRP! Orange fox is bugged
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nostupidthing:
usually i try to stick with twrp

tried lineageos recovery once, had some issues, gave up

only use orangefox on one device for some reason i forgot, all other i use twrp which is gold standard to me

some ppl like fancy stuffs, i prefer stability and reliability like lineage and twrp
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] hamid_valad:
Yup.

I had oreo when I went to 17.1 and fingerprint scanner didn't work. so I went back to Nougat to make it work. when 18.1 unofficial got released i went from 17.1 to 18.1, and when official 18.1 released, I clean installed 18.1

1. I'm using official kernel now. I tried Gamma before, and it was worse! it would heat up, freeze and etc... I don't know the reason, but I think when signal is low and phone switches between 4g and 3g it crashes. not sure though. I read in the forum that installing the modem may fix this issue, but I have no idea where I can find the files nor how to install it!

2. GPS takes almost 10 minutes or more (some times forever!) to get my exact location.

3. How is camera fine? sometimes it takes plain green pictures, sometimes it fails to take a picture, video is frame by frame!

4. I heard that IR works on some Gamma kernels, but haven't tried myself.

5. can't share my screen to my Samsung TV, something that I was able to do on stock rom.

6. :) I really don'y know what is going on, I tried to contact the app developers but haven't had any luck yet.

7. My bad, I don't have clipboard "history" (I forgot to mention history. sorry). very useful function, available on stock rom.

8. again another miss from stock rom.

but thank you for responding to me. I have this device as my daily driver and re-installing all apps and redoing settings and logins is so frustrating that I just can't go through with it for a factory reset or another clean install.

I had another issue on my friends device. I installed TWRP and did all the wipes and formats available, (data, cache, etc).

but after installing the rom and first boot, the phone asked for a password! and entering his old password worked!

How is that possible? shouldn't a clean install make a clean slate? like new device?

maybe there are residues from old roms that I had before that create these issues. not sure how his device is working though.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
If it asked for a password you're not doing a format. You're wiping files.

And it's why your experience is so poor.

Stop using TWRP for install, and use Lineage Recovery, fully format the partitions instead of leaving stuff behind, your experience will be wayyy better. You probably still have data from the unofficial and others.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] hamid_valad:
I use lineage recovery on my device.

as I said it was my friends phone that I used TWRP and I did all the formats and wipes like I said.

I don't know if his device is working fine or not. I haven't heard from him since. maybe thats a good sign :)

on my device, all I did was having a clean install. no MODs, no Volcan, no XMLs, no zips. just a clean install.

maybe you install some thing along side it that helps?

any idea is welcomed here. (just not a hard reset :( )
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] josephww:
System UI crashes one per day at least. This was a clean install from 7.0.

System UI often crashes due to connecting to a VPN or wifi issues or SIM card issues (System always crashes with a sim card in at boot.)

Something else that makes this unusable and annoying this that WIFI does not automatically reconnect and the fact I have to click "connect away" and that "connect anyway" is not remembered.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] A.Whit:

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
Oh? Interesting, my Miracast dingle doesn't like v20. I'll leave it then
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] josephww:
H910. Tried Old TWRP new TWRP and Lineage OS Recovery. Installed about 10 times.

Tried H91010r and H91010q after the fingerprint didn't work after installing from Oreo (but wifi did)

The wifi connects for a split second, says limited connection, and then disconnects and then tried to reconnect unlimited times. If I tick the wifi debugging the connection the wifi stays connected and I can browse the internet but after that, all wifi connections are not visible and then the system UI will crash.

*Update*

After I did a new install from Oreo now both the Fingerprint reader and wifi are non-working.

I switched over to LighthouseOS and now everything works perfect :)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] hamid_valad:
I installed an OTA update today. (device: h990-ds)

I have to thank the DEV for keeping this device up and running and working on it.

but the problem is that remaining issues we speak about here, are not even considered in any of the updates from almost first unofficial release till now and that is very frustrating. :(

I mean why should a user struggle on basic needs of a daily driver? like BT connection? GPS connection?

aren't they more important than updating lineage wizard script for TV??

and why aren't any of them mentioned in the first post? known bugs? just volte?

I can name 8-10 issues and bugs!

please at least consider looking at them :(
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nostupidthing:
bcs maybe you are the only one encountering these problems?

i don't mean to be mean, but it maybe the truth

btw, h990ds is not officially supported, although a friend has said it works just fine (https://xdaforums.com/t/official-lineageos-18-1-for-the-lg-v20.4255323/post-85892415)

maybe you can ask him

i think either your hardware is defect (if they work on another rom, then it's not), or if the firmware isnot compatible...

maybe if you provide some logs to the dev he can fix them, but just complaining wouldn't help bcs the dev cannot reproduce the errors it seems
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] josephww:
h910

When I enable "WIFI Verbose" in developer options the WIFI stays connected but the setting app is unavailable and unable to access the wifi setting by tapping on wifi. When I enabled this setting before it caused many systemUI crashes. So unable to access the setting app really sucks.

Hmm, you'll need to go back to nougat, unlock the bootloader and then flash, you can also flash from oreo but, fingerprints wont work
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
only on nougat firmware, I'll edit the wiki to reflect this.

Don't... don't do any of that. Unlock the bootloader however you need, make sure you're on nougat firmware, then proceed following the wiki instructions.

you need to be on nougat firmware, I'll edit the wiki.

Forgive the newb question, but I've got an h915 (Canada, unlocked, currently on Telus). Is there a way I can go about installing LineageOS 18.1? I didn't see h915 in the list in the first post.

It's currently on 8.0.0 but Im confortable enough downgrading it if needed, if someone can point me to where to find a stock Telus rom for an earlier version.

Cheers,

Unless im tripping Bluetooth SBC with the april 27th update got WAYYYY BETTER.

I havent checked any Bluetooth logs to know what its streaming at now.

The HD option is still uncheckable as it has been.

Was wondering if anyone has figured out running sbc at like 512-800kps?

like i was on android 8. It made a massive difference. Dual stereo option seems to break TWS as far as i can tell.

The most recent build def sounds better

thanks everyone!

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Epifistu:
Does h990 mean that it works for h990DS?

Might be a noobie question, but I just moved from my G5 to a V20 and I don't know if h990 is like an "umbrella term" for all h990 variants or not.

And I only need to downgrade to Nougat, unlock the bootloader and flash lineageOS 18.1 for it to work?

I'm asking because the G5 had an issue where you had to clean flash LOS 15 and then dirty flash 16, then 17 etc. to get sensors and camera working and I understand that these devices are quite similar.

Sorry if these seem to be stupid questions. I'm just trying to figure everything out and sometimes it's not easy to find potentially obvious answers to some questions.

How did you get Magisk to fully install? I was able to flash it using TWRP, but the second stage (after rebooting) - "failed to parse file."

I'm on a US996. BTW, the fingerprint scanner doesn't seem to work, but I'm pretty sure I've seen reports of this before.

Just starting out with Lineage; currently on rooted stock Oreo ROM, so I've been away for a while. ;-)

Anyone have the modified last US996 Nougat KDZ that doesn't overwrite recovery and re-lock the bootloader? I have a second US996 that I'd like to put Lineage on (already flashed as a trial, seems to work), but it's on Oreo firmware so the fingerprint scanner doesn't work. Thanks.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] t20i9m13:
Install Magisk apk file after reboot fix the "failed to parse file" error in my case.

To get fingerprint to work, you need nougat firmware.

To avoid rewrite root and recovery, I believe there are options choosing which partition you want to flash.

I don't remember what option though. it has been too long since last time i done this.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ezzony:
yeah i found that out eventually thanks

How do you find the camera quality?

I'm on crdoird. I'm not sure if all the new roms have the new camera blobs and is there any particular camera app one shoud use. I've taken a few pics with gcam (which I never liked even on stock) and a third part 'manual cam' from playstore. Initial impression is still not as good as stock but better than previous versions of LinOS.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] xxseva44:
I am not currently on lineage, i'm on my own lighthouse build with the v30 camera blobs, i'd recommend proshot, i believe it's still free on the playstore but if not, then open camera. In terms of the v30 blobs, lineage does not have them atm
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dilligaf56:
Thanks - installing the .apk file fixed the Magisk issue.

If anyone knows exactly which options to use, I'd appreciate the pointer :). I found a copy of the "official" 10p KDZ, but don't want to lose recovery. Do you have to use LG UP, or is there a better way? It's been a long time since I've had to flash a KDZ file.

Hmmm...just a thought - is the 10p version the best one to use? I remember at some point there was a version that broke easy rootability. Is there a better version to use than 10p??

Also, are the versions on this page: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-us996-firmwares/ for the US Cellular version of the US996 or the US Unlocked version? (I'm on Verizon on the Unlocked version).

Much appreciated!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ezzony:
Oh right, would there be a way to transfer the blobs to crdroid easily...i.e copy over the files lol. Prolly now. Done at compile time right?

So do you know what builds of which I see there are many now, have the v30 blobs. I've have the crdoid and superior downloaded. I'm sure it will come to them all eventually.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ezzony:
hey i made this magisk module to enable signature spoofing if anyone needs it. Might as well share it.

Good news: Your H910 can be fixed

Bad news: There is no kdz for the H910, BUT you can use US99610f_00_1205.kdz

My recommendation:

Option A: Road to LOS 18.1

1) Boot into downloader and flash US99610f_00_1205.kdz with LGUP and reboot, phone will work perfect. This will set up partitions and LG framwork files correctly

2) Unlock bootloader and install TWRP

3) Flash h910-10r.zip via TWRP >>>DO NOT reboot

4) FORMAT DATA >>> DO NOT reboot

5) Flash LOS 18.1 and MindTheGapps-11.0.0-arm64-20210328_143848 and reboot

6) IF needed flash H910 nugut modem. I cant remember if this is necessary but possible

Option B: Oreo with no ATT crap

1) Flash US99620f_00_1120.kdz with LGUP

Done.......

I should be clear. The phones need to be rolled back because its security patch is Mar 2017 and November 2017. They can be rolled back so that is not a problem.

IR works on any rom as long as you get a kernel that supports it. For now, only gamma has working IR (and only a specific version that i tested while trying to find a fix for it on lineage kernels, but it's quite outdated and might have other bugs with newer android versions although i didn't face any during my testings).
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] stingbandel:
Thanks for the info. Curreny I am using PE with gamma. 3 things I notice is 1. Using gamma the phone is sometimes getting really hot. 2. It drains the battery compared to PE built in kernell. 3. Every 2 or 3 days I.get green kernel.panic. so if I switch to LOS, will I be facing.those problems also? Thanks
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] AShiningRay:
Not really, you'll only face abnormal battery drain and high temps if you push the device (some other kernels are better at this, but lineage is good enough for most cases). Green kernel panics also shouldn't happen at all on LOS stock kernel from what i've tested.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] stingbandel:

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] AShiningRay:
