[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] minhduongtrung:
1. Flash ROM

2. Flash gapps (Open_gapps, FlameGapps...)

Stuck here, can't connect to wifi.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ROMSG:
Ya I've been stuck their too I tried open gapps, mind the gapps and nikgapps. None are working I'm not sure why, I even made a test build with gapps already included and still no luck. For now if you need Google services you may have to use microg and f-droid.

Update

A Play Store workaround has been figured out. Go to this link and install Aurora Store it's an alt play store app and has the same apps as the play store. It is also is much faster on older devices. Learn more on their XDA thread.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] denvinbo:
Can you somehow remove Gallery Go as system app? This one is preventing me from installing Google Photos since i want the Cloud features, from Aurora Store to manual APK, any sources.

Uninstalling system app also doesn't work.

Big Update!!!

-Gapps are now working!

-Smart Charging and Smart Pixels addded for battery saving
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ROMSG:
Update:

KPTI was disabled in the latest mk2000 kernel builds which increases cpu performance by 30-50%. I highly recommend flashing it. KPTI will be disabled in the next crDroid build.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ROMSG:
07-14-2022

New Builds are out!

- Double Tap to Wake is fixed

- SoundTriger updated to 2.1 allowing for the "now playing" feature seen on Pixel devices to work. crDroid doesn't have now playing so you must install the "Ambient Music Mod" to use it.

- CPU Underclocks reverted for better performance. This may result in kernel crashes during extreme power draw, however this only seems to occur on the h990 variant. If this happens use Smartpack or any other kernel manager to set the Big cpu cores to 1824mhz and Little cores to 1478mhz

- KPTI disabled resulting in up to a 50% CPU performance increase (see attachments below, the one the left is with KPTI enabled)

- Blur effects disabled by default (can be re-enabled in settings) to increase smootness

- July 2022 Security Patch

Hello,

So I have this phone for about 5 years now.

Model = H990DS.

crDroid looks promising. Gave it a shot today. Failed. Below is my ordeal.

> Flashed crDroid from Rooted Oreo. Everything was working except normal voice calls. Tried listening from speaker, mute unmute mic, nothing helped.

> I thought may be I should just go back to stock and try all again. So I downgraded to Nougat from LgUP, revertd to complete stock, then did the gruesome DirtySanta Root Method, success, got the latest TWRP 3.3.1.1 for LG V20 installed.

> Then proceeded to flash crDroid again, flashed Gapps Pico, STILL no luck in voice calls. Weird.

> Proceeded to flash LineageOS 18.1. Voice calling is working fine. First time using Lineage OS. Getting the old Cyanogenmod nostalgia vibes.

Sorry didn't have time to get logcat since this is my daily driver and need to get it working.

It's a Sunday night, had to flash Lineage.

Please let me know how can I get the Voice Calling to work in crDroid for my LG V20.

I absolutely Love this phone.

THANK YOU for building a new OS for keeping it alive.

You are Awesome!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] black_demon_31:
My bad,

I just read today in the 'Bugs/Issues' section that 'Voice calls are not working' .

Missed that one out.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ROMSG:
yea, it doesn't really matter though, 3g networks are being shutdown so we'll have to rely on google voice or whattsapp soon anyway.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] maxiauer:
Hello everyone

Wondering if somebody has tried to use an external USB Mic as the default Mic for their units. It is clear that using any electret mic (external or whatever) won't solve the audio/mic quality of the units. But I was thinking that a USB mic would solve the noise introduced by the unit board/circuit design, and even more, could be placed anywhere closer to the driver without a long audio cable (you use an USB cable extension)

Any experience on this?

@marchnz What has been your experience with mic and FYT units? Are they significatively better? Do they use the cheap electret?

Tanks !!!

Max
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] marchnz:
Much the same - must disconnect internal when using external.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] maxiauer:
So, answering my own question... NO, at least the MTCD PX5 boards are not compatible with USB Mics (Analog mics that have a Analog-to-digital converter and a proper USB interface)

I tested multiple USB-A manufacturers, and none of them worked, even if they worked on my Pixel 6 (with the proper cable / OTG)

Leaving this here as a reference in case somebody asks the same question on the future
[Off-topic] ManojNairOnline:
Today we have the option of numerous smartphones with screens usually above 6in and packed with tons of features. We have become used to the gestures and gimmicks that come with the present generation of smartphones and are lost if somehow we misplace these devices even for a short time.

All said and done, we still have found memories of some devices we once owned.

My all-time favorite was a Samsung Marine waterproof and shockproof mobile I had way back in 2010(?)

The device specs compared to today's devices was laughable

Screen Size 1.77 inches

Battery: 1000mh

Camera : 1.3 MP camera,

flash, bluetooth, GPRS connectivity & JAVA support.

Display Type TFT-LCD, 256K colors

Resolution 120 x 160 pixels

Pixel Density 113 ppi

Operating System Proprietary Samsung

Internal Memory 7 MB

Expandable 8 GB, MicroSD

Keypad Alpha-Numeric

No WIfi, No Headphone connector,

The phone was put through a proper shock-test one day as it fell from my pocket on to a busy street while I was riding a motorbike. When I retrieved it, not only was it working, there were also no scratches on it!! I was located in Mumbai then and had carried this phone through many a rain. Never did it give me any problem.

Finally had to move to larger and costlier models as the need to browse emails and reply to social media posts became the deciding factor over simplicity.

Which is your favorite mobile phone model and why ?

A Samsung ruggedized flip top still running after almost 12 years. A tough, rugged phone.

Never any repairs other than a battery.

Good old Nokia E72, but E6 wasn't terrible either. Old-style screen where you don't need backlight during the day; battery that ACTUALLY lasted a week; all the internet fluff; and THE very best QWERTY like no one else has ever made then and since.

Hello everyone, I have an LG Style 2 but I cannot find its firrmware, custom recovery, roms,.... and I neither know where to get it nor make it.

I tried Google and search for it everywhere but found nothing.

Its stock firmware kinda sucks, fill with Docomo trash app and lag as hell.

If you know something about it, please give me a clue.

Thank you.

Please also let us know the pros and cons about the rom you are using:D

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] MO7MD 5ALD:
if you are looking for miui version, i think android 10 is the best miui version for poco x 3 pro.

if you want stable custom rom, you can use crdroid or pixel experience.

From my 11 year experience with android devices the best OS version has always been the one that came originally installed on the device. Every OS update makes the device feel slower.

[OPPO Find X5 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
No case, only ever use one for risky scenarios (usually involving alcohol) but otherwise prefer to use them as nature intended.

I accept I will get some battle scars which I have but not that many (I am due one as I am on a good run!) I think I am subconsciously more careful when I do not use a case too.
[OPPO Find X5 Pro Questions & Answers] mcall_r:
I started off using it in the case, but I didn't like the texture of the white case that was included, it was quite slippery and stained quite quickly from my jeans pocket.

I took the case off and the phone is so much nicer to hold and use. It is a bit slippery on its own but it has a kind of grip that you don't get with glass phones.

I have insurance with an excess of only £50 if I break it so not too worried :)
