[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Whosondephone:
I made this zip courtesy of SuperR's kitchen free version. I look forward to playing with the donate version.

This is a %100 stock ROM which also will flash the stock recovery. I had some difficulty on first setup. It is highly recommended you flash a custom kernel over this ROM. If you use the stock kernel you may get the secure startup screen. In order to get past this you have to flash stock recovery and let the phone reset.

ALSO REMEMBER WHEN YOU ENTER THE WRONG PASSWORD ON THE SECURE STARTUP SCREEN IT MAY WIPE YOUR SD CARD AS WELL!!! I always end up corrupting my SD somehow when messing with my daily driver :p

Edit:. It looks like flashing a custom kernel gets rid of all of the above problems. I wanted to try a completely stock experience.

If anyone is still using my old ROM YOU MUST STOP USING IT! I have identified multiple problems with it including boot failures excesive heat and other glitches most likely due to the partitions being different. I took the time to verify that most of the partitions from NotYetADev's ROM are different from mine. Unfortunately I'm not smart enough yet to be able to build my own update binary at this time. However I have developed a hacky work around. I've essentially just repacked NotYetADev's zip with my own ROM images I dumped from my 100% Stock VS995 running 20d. I haven't tried dailey driving the ROM from the repacked zip file alone. It might run just fine. However I noticed the build.prop was showing VS99520c still. So just to be safe I built the boot and system image Zip in superR's kitchen to flash over NotYetADev's.

Unmodified Stock LG Recovery Image

If you aren't running Verizon firmware you MUST do a factory reset. You might be able to get away with dirty flashing over VS99520c if you are running NotYetADev's ROM. If you are running Leamon Drop I think you are going to have to factory reset also. I always wipe cache and Dalvik when presented the opertunity.

First tap install VS99520d OREO Prerequisites.zip then Add more Zips.

Next select Magisk 24.3.zip then Swipe to confirm Flash.

Boot System. If you see static boot that's good. When you get to the setup screen shutdown. I swaped out NotYetADev's stock recovery image with a VS995 TWRP recovery image. But you may want to boot into fastboot and flash a TWRP recovery image just to be sure.

Once back in TWRP Format Data

reboot recovery

Wipe everything but SD card and USB OTG BE CAREFUL!

install VS99520dRAW2.zip

add no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip

add Magisk 24.3

When done reboot system and see if it boots. If it doesn't boot or there are services crashing you may need to flash stock recovery image via fastboot and run it. You could also try the entire flashing process again. Whenever I run stock recovery I always remove the SD card before booting just in case.

If the system Boots I would install EZ V2020 kernel next. Also the easiest way to install the corect Magisk app is to rename the magisk.zip to magisk.apk and install it from your file browser. I would ask you hold off on running the Lemon Drop debloat script to help me test this ROM. I know I shouldn't have mentioned it but it's so awsome!

I thought I figured out a way to get around the limitations of the free version of SuperR's Kitchen. However after testing the files I've uploaded I notice the build number is showing SuperR instead of "OPR1.170623.032". It's probably harmless but considering I donated I feel I shouldn't have it in my ROM. The problem is that the newer donate version of the kitchen doesn't produce a ROM that boots. You can either edit your build.prop yourself for now. Perhaps later I'll fix it and upload a stock build.prop

You also might want to add the line sys.capture_signboard.enabled=true so you can take a screenshot of the second screen.

Be sure to check out Second Screen Status Bar app and mod. It's a payed app but a necessary one for the V20 in my opinion.

I also recommend swap_torpedo-v1-2-1_updated_by_crok_to_work_with_magisk_v20-3-zip. In my experience you gain more performance and battery life at the expense of the low RAM killer closing background apps and being signed out of websites if switching apps.

Lastly I recommend using a Lithium Ion battery as apposed to a Lithium Polymer. For years I was using Lithium Polymer an never understood why the V20 never hit it's rated 2GHz clock speed. After changing to a FFOGG 3200mAh Li-Ion Battery I've never thought about the thermal mod. Don't get the 4390 mAh it is labeled Li-ion but it's a Polymer. And the worst performing one I've tried. Battery life was ok though.
