[LG G8 Questions & Answers] DoctorCrust:
Wondering if there's any way to do this, I've tried super status bar but it looks really bad on home without transparency imo. I just hate the default LG 4g and Signal bars lol wondering if there's any way to change it with root access
[Touch HD General] Xarra:
I now have my HD. :D

But whenever I click on one of the bottom menus (you know, the one that says 'menu' or something in the bottom left) I get a massive menu.

Two questions: Would SPB Shell sort this out? Or is there another way to tell I I don't want mahoosive menus? (The 'start' menu has been shrunk already!)
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
You can adjust this to something smaller. HTC has deliberately made it big to be finger friendly, but that results in scrolling for some program with longer list of items on the menu. I think under the tips and tricks thread you can see how to do it.

Cheers.
[Touch HD General] ScarySquirrel:
It also says in the user manual that this is the case and it shows you how to change it.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
Are you talking about the start menu or the bottom menu? The start menu text size can be changed as described in page 41. In which page can you find how user could change the bottom menu text size?

The registry key has been mentioned in the Tips and Trick section. Alternatively, you can also change it using SKTools.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] ronzky321:
We know the Zenfone 8 doesn't have the best FP sensor. I came from Moto Edge 20 Pro (which died) with a side-mounted FP sensor and I terribly miss it's blazing fast recognition.

So in my Zenfone 8 I noticed my left thumb is more reliable than my right. My right has error rate of around 2 out of 5 while my left fails only 1 out of 10.

So I thought there must be something with the sensors orientation.

And so what I did was register my right thumb again but this time, during registration, I turned my phone UPSIDE DOWN.

LO and behold for the past hour my right thumb FP unlock still has never failed! And boy I really wanted it to fail.

I challenge you to test it and see if your success rate has improved.

Thank me later.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
Maybe its placebo, but I think it has a better success rate when registering my fingerprint upside down.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] alekksander:
i can confirm it works better with left thumb rather than right. but also works better for any other finger than my right thumb. anyhow – for more reliable unlock try to aim a little bit lower on the sensor.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Fibon@cci:
Can confirm it's true. Tried with both thumbs and out of 10 tries never failed once. What a weird thing
[ASUS ZenFone 8] alekksander:
except the lower part of the sensor i mentioned also moving finger down very slightly helps often
[ASUS ZenFone 8] alekksander:
New discovery — keeping high brightness helps, and turning additional dim basically breaks FS to the point it is unusable.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] landsome:
Same here: faster and more reliable with new screen protector than in the past. Clear improvement under this scenario.

With a bare screen, however, I am not sure I noticed any improvement (my fingerprint scanner worked very well as of late).

Thanks for the great tip!

Battery life is crazy good in A12..
[G4 Android Development] drasterlx:
You are the best, great rom, testing
[G4 Android Development] thedery01:
Is there any way to avoid the flashing of the notification light?, by the way very good rom amazing work with the old lg g4
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
Yes, I have disabled it for the moment, while we try to figure out why it's misbehaving..

The G4 handles A12 surprisingly well 🙂

I will try to release updated builds 2moro
[G4 Android Development] thedery01:
ok thanks, so I'll look forward to tomorrow's update
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
Uploaded new builds yesterday..

* blinking LED light fixed (disabled it totally)

* some fixes for WiFi to improve stability

* BT stability improved and support for A2DP BT headsets added

* Wireguard VPN support added in the kernel (need to be root for it to work)
[G4 Android Development] agabarak:
Thanks for the rom. Notification light bug is gone. The screen proximity sensor works directly in the phone call. To overcome this, disabling the sensor is the solution. But since the screen stays on all the time, there is a possibility that your face can be touched. I will be glad if you check it out.
[G4 Android Development] thedery01:
thanks you did an incredible job but I have some questions, to know if it only happens to me, I have the lg g4 h811 variant, and when I install custom roms I have a lot of lag, I mean youtube is slow and it kind of gets stuck I would like to know if it's something I'm specific about the roms, or is it that my cell already has a problem, it's as if none of the roms works for me, someone told me that I suffer from ilapo but since my cell is not frozen in the logo and it works normally, but when installing rom This happens to me, can someone tell me what happens thanks.
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
Do you have this issue for all custom ROM versions, or just in A12?
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
I have a test build that might fix the black screen. Anyone here willing to test. I have already tested on my device and it seems positive so far..

Dirty flash is OK (that's what I did) 🙂
[G4 Android Development] thedery01:
a12 and the majority that I have tried, it is as if the performance in general was worse with rom, any ideas, do you think it is the ilapo, or is it something normal in roms, I thought that the performance would have to improve with rom
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
As we advance through each android version, it's going to put more and stress on our old device, so it's going to be a bit slower than it was on Nougat, for example..

But i find it still usable on A12. Not as fast as it was on Nougat, but it doesn't grind to a halt either
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
If it was ilapo, you should have issues booting..

Maybe try formatting the data partition.

Be sure to backup your internal storage as this will wipe everything forever
[G4 Android Development] thedery01:
Well, thank you very much for answering, so far no problems with booting or automatic restart problems, my problem was just that of the lag in the roms, but well, I already understand the lag
[G4 Android Development] Kohbidin:
I have installed on my lg g4 h815 usu. All features are working well on it, but only security lock like pattern, pin etc doest work. Everytime I try to make pin or pattern, it always reboot to system. Sorry for my bad english.

Btw, tq for your great job.
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
Hi,

You're welcome. 🙂

Strange, cos PIN works fine for me.

Can you grab a logcat?
[G4 Android Development] Kohbidin:
This, sir

[G4 Android Development] Kohbidin:

[G4 Android Development] Kohbidin:
Why i can not attach the file?
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
Hi guys and gals.

September Security Patch added in this build.

Sensors are fixed now, but after flashing (dirty OK), I recommend you to reboot to Recovery and wipe the caches and reboot.

Dont ask me why, cos I dont know 😊

I have been tweaking the kernel, so hopefully it will be a little bit faster..

I haven't fixed anything other than that in this build..
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
Connect to the telegram channel (info in the main post) and send me the log there..
[G4 Android Development] _Kuki_:
Hi, glad to see people keeping the ol' G4 still updated. Unfortunately, I seem to have two small problems.

Firstly, the lock screen PIN pad won't swipe up all the way unless I drag my finger almost all the way to the top of the screen. Maybe I just need to adjust something in the settings?

Secondly, when I try to select a wallpaper the app crashes. Tried choosing one from the gallery and from the preloaded wallpapers and it crashed both times. Anyone else having similar issues?
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
Hi,

I'm aware of those two issues.

For the swipe up, I don't have a solution yet. But it annoys me too, so I'll get it fixed 😊

For the wallpaper bug, that's my fault.. I added something in the kernel that breaks that. This won't be easy, as I will have to go back about 6 months in the kernel history and build and test until I find the changes that broke it. Not fun 😉

It's on my to-do list, but I have bigger fish to fry like the swipe-up issue on the lockscreen and DT2W not working, and the black-screen on making/receiving phone calls..

That is all just to say I'm aware of the problems and I'm working my way through them one by one 😜
[G4 Android Development] _Kuki_:
Thanks for the quick reply. I was just considering reflashing in case I screwed up during the initial flash. Good luck with the fixes/further development. I'll be sure to test them once they're released.
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
What model do you have?

I have fixed the swipe-up issue, and the phone calls issue also

I regularly release test builds here: https://mega.nz/folder/8QskEJbR#GEOsO_C5Q3XSNWWDvkrD3A

If you have the official unlocked h815, you can try the build with today's date 22020917
[G4 Android Development] _Kuki_:
Yep, I have the officially unlocked h815 I'll go give it a shot.
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
So this is a bit strange..

The swipe-up and calls are all good on the first boot when the sensors are not detected.

On rebooting, swipe-up sucks again, and screen goes black on making calls, but seems to be OK on receiving calls..

Can you test swipe-up and calls after the very first boot after flashing today's build.

Then test again after rebooting to get the sensors recognised
[G4 Android Development] _Kuki_:
Sorry, it took me so long to get back to you. I tried the update and unfortunately, I have to report that both issues persist even on the first boot. Just to make sure I did a dirty and a clean install and in both instances, the PIN pad didn't work correctly and the screen would turn off when calling/receiving calls. I have also tried rebooting with the same result.
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
For the phone calls, a new setting has been added to the phone app.

Go to Settings, Other Settings, and you will see an option to disable the proximity sensor check..

Good night. Sorry for my bad English. I have installed this ROM on my Lg G4, and I want to thank you for your work. It runs very smooth and has breathed new life into my phone. But I can't get the navigation buttons to appear, making it very difficult to go back or close windows. I go into the Crdroid options and I tell it that I want the navigation panel, but the buttons still do not appear. Can you tell me how I have to make the adjustments so that these buttons appear? Thank you very much for your attention.
[G4 Android Development] bytechus:
I answer myself. You have to select it at the time of installation and the navigation buttons already appear. Thank you very much for your patience.

Glad to see you fixed it :-)

Good morning and thank you for your patience. I have a problem with the internet connection through the mobile network, I can call and receive calls, and also SMS, but it does not connect to the vodafone network. I don't know if other users have had the same problem and if so, how they solved it... thank you very much.
[G4 Android Development] aoleary:
Try searching on the internet for Vodafone APN settings. If you find one that works, let me know and I will add it to the device by default..
[G4 Android Development] bytechus:
It must be a crdroid problem. I also have it installed on an old Note 3 and it also loses the Vodafone mobile internet connection. I have put Nougat again with V29 and the LG G4 works perfectly again.

Thanks

I found a lot of help on this forum. I am not a professional. I do not work in this field. This is the result of my hobby spent in free time. Red Ball Underground is a newly released game. It was created as a sequel to Red Ball Evolved, my first game. And it's free. I hope you enjoy.

Thanks!

[G1 Android Development] badaas:
File type not supported!? Eh? So, if android doesn;t use the file, it won't download it!? I'm gonna try again, but if this is the case, it's blatant bull**** and almost censorship area of wankness!

or does the browser freak out with RS? anyone else confirm this?

thanks, oh. and before some asks, my ISP is down, so i needed to dl a cab for my athena from my g1, as my athena is simlocked atm.
[G1 Android Development] veda_sticks:
Its not file share. If android doesnt know the file type it wont download. Ive tried downloading jar files. Same thing, even with java installed.

Its the same in android file manager, if you put a file on your sd card and theres no application to open it it just says file reading not supported
[G1 Android Development] badaas:
what a pile of w@nk!
[G1 Android Development] veda_sticks:
Nothing to do with sensorship. The android operating system is very new. Suppost for other types of files will come later, along with more features.

Look at bluetooth. You only have bluetooth headset support. Its not locked, other forms of bluetooth communication will be made availible as updates come out.

The browser wont download not because google is saying no, but becuase theres nothing that can use that file type. Whats the point of downloading if you cant open it.
[G1 Android Development] SuperEd:
Actually agree. This OS is still very new and only been in existance for a little over a year and development is still in the infancy stage. Give it a little awhile when the ball gets really rolling, then maybe we can soon start to enjoy Android a whole lot more.:)
[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
CABinet files are for Microsoft.... so why the heck would you want to download anyway?
[G1 Android Development] derekwilkinson:
You can't install Windows Mobile apps on the Android...
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
... idiots.
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
Not sure how it is censorship or blatant BS. Think about it when you download something on your actual computer and the file type is not supported it asks you how to open it. On firefox it asks you what you wanna do. This makes perfect sense. Especially seeing as they are still working on the OS.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SignalX:
do you guys have signal problems?

i think my S22 ultra has signal issues. signal bar is always with two bars, even sometimes one bar

in same place, same operator, and same sim card, i have full signal bar with other phones and internet is 4G

another problem is, for example, we're outside of city with friends, my friends have 4G internet with their normal phones, but my flagship s22ultra goes to H+ or E internet

can anyone please confirm these problems with signals in s22 ultra?

mine is snapdragon

[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] 4lbas:
Hi everyone,

Yesterday I start an Android System update on my Lg Velvet LM-G900EM while it was connected to the pc in transfer file mode: it shutted down like it normally does but it didn't turn up. The screen is full black and I've tried different button presses on the phone but nothing seems to waking it up. When I reconnect the phone my Pc it is seen as "Quectel QDLoader 9008 (COM6)" which I've read is correct in this cases. I've tried adb but is not shown on the list of "adb devices" and I can't do much if it's not shown there. I've tried connecting it to the pc with different button pressed but it's not recognised as it should be. On the LGUP software is not recognised either. If anybody can help me I will be very grateful. Thanks a lot guys.
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] DerSammler:
I have a similar problem. After a reboot, the phone would not boot up again and it showed up on the PC as QUSB_BULK_CID:0402_SN:xxxxxxx.

Helped, press power button and at the same time connect the USB cable to the PC. After 3 or 4 attempts it booted up again. Maybe it helps you too.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zotac101:
As the thread question states I am a junior Java/Kotlin developer and would like to contribute to custom rom projects.

I have been mainly using Lineage OS on my old devices for a past few years and I am genuinely thankful for this community and would like to give back.

I have no idea where to get started and the only threads I found were really old from 2013 and hence I am posting it here. I have only gone as far as compiling AOSP from source and managing to flash it to my device. ( Any guidance is welcome ).

I have 2 additional queries :-

1) Why most custom rom releases are based on AOSP or Lineage as source rather than working backwards from the manufacture's provided rom? In that way the device can retain most of this functionality.

2) I have observed QUALCOMM powered devices are much more appreciated in this community compared to MediaTek, Why is that so? Recent MediaTek Chips have been quite powerful yet support from the community isn't there yet ..... what are MediaTek chipsets lacking ?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] naked123:
Mediatek doesn't release their source code so it's very difficult to develop custom ROMs.

Correct me if I'm wrong 😔
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
How does your self-built AOSP perform? Everything working correctly?

I think the first question is, because the manufacturer's ROMs are proprietary and closed source, so it's not impossible, but difficult I think. Dunno how Xiaomi.eu does it.

Second question is, because Qualcomm releases source code to CAF - Code Aurora Forum. Custom ROM/Kernel Makers pull a few bits & pieces from CAF into their AOSP ROM, for that added spice.

I think MediaTek does too, but only for few devices?

The Nothing Phone (1) employs a 6.55-inch OLED of premium quality - it offers 10-bit color depth and can display up to 1B of colors; there is 120Hz...

Its below other 778G phones. Such battery is normal in midrange and 888 was the worst Snapdragon
[Nothing Phone 1] Ky0sHiR0:
Do You experience high drain after the night? Like 8-10 hours of sleep result is like 12-14% drain.

It should be like 0,3-0,6% per hour max.
[Nothing Phone 1] hongjiu923:
Battery life for me hasn't been impressive. On 1.1.3, I unplug at 5am and by 4-5pm I am down to 20% battery while running on LTE with 5G option off. Average SOT on such cases is around 5hrs. No gaming, just messaging, a few calls, browsing and streaming YouTube, and listening to music. So for my use case scenario it will usually die before I can get home from work.
[Nothing Phone 1] REWHEX:
Guys I've found that for some reason, on my EU 1.1.3 version, there is an app called Log Tool (NTLogTool.apk) which is draining my battery all the time. I checked all the apps, and pretty sure that Nothing internal apps is the reason. I disabled and restricted apps, as you can see on screenshot. Now it only takes 6% for 8 hours sleep, before was 15-20%!
