I haven't tried swap, this version of Android is supposed to run with as little as 512 MB of RAM while this phone has 2 GB.

The way Android memory management works (AFAIK) is that apps keep getting loaded into RAM until it gets filled up, then the least-recent apps get killed when more apps are loaded. I think adding swap would just interfere with that process while also wearing out the flash memory faster, so I probably wouldn't do that.

However, I might take a look at the Go optimizations to see if those could improve performance, as this phone's specs are not the best by 2023 standards. It could help especially with Gapps, as that's the one time I've seen this phone really struggle.
[G2 Android Development] qwek:
i've tried with low memory flag on prop but it doesnt work. maybe need to include with go gapps or something. nik have a gapps with go edition but on my experience with nikgapps on other device i flashed, i'm always getting problem with store apps. btw, OpenGapps12L have a smaller size than MindTheGapps so i used it.
[G2 Android Development] olivercyy:
Amazing work, thanks so much!
[G2 Android Development] Simaramis:
It might go unnoticed otherwise: Lineage 12 is available at first post with security patch level July 5, 2023. Works great on my 801 & 800!

My fave phone. Works quite spiffy with Kernel mods and blocking ads/trackers.

No issues detected!

Thank you very much to dev: https://xdaforums.com/m/jb881122.12414861/

notice has a new build. but any changelog for latest ser??
[G2 Android Development] jb881122:
The only changes were recompiling from the latest sources for the July security update and compiling for other G2 devices (d801, d803, ls980, vs980).

EDIT: Same goes for the 20230823 & 20230918 builds
[G2 Android Development] qwek:
are you accept any requested rom? i've found pixel experience on the AFH but its only for korea version. im tried to swap boot.img with any rom with same android version from d802, its worked and booted but network data is not working.
[G2 Android Development] Nikkerston:
my phone says incorrect Aboot version when trying to flash. this is the first time im ever trying to get off of the stock rom on this phone btw
[G2 Android Development] jb881122:
What model do you have and what version of stock Android is currently on your phone? IIRC, the latest bootloader is needed, which necessitates either an update to a Lollipop stock ROM or installation of a bootstack. While bootstack installation is "easier", I'd recommend installing the full stock ROM first as I've had issues with some things not working when I took the bootstack approach.

It's been a while since I had a stock ROM installed, all I remember is that they were full of bloat and made me able to cook an egg on the phone. I'll see if I can go through that process again so that I can help in a more detailed way if needed.
[G2 Android Development] Nikkerston:
D802 32GB. i updated it to lollipop from kitkat via PC since OTA dosent seem to work anymore
[G2 Android Development] jb881122:
Since you have Lollipop installed (for which I'm a little surprised that the bootloader version is incompatible), try the D802 Bump-signed version of the bootstack in this thread. That should install a compatible bootloader version. Let me know how it goes.
[G2 Android Development] Nikkerston:
nothing changed unfortunately
[G2 Android Development] jb881122:
Okay, that is odd. I might ask you to extract some information from your device, but it might unintentionally include some identifiable info, so I'd prefer to do it over DMs if possible. That would also help avoid flooding this thread with our conversation.

EDIT: After checking the bootloader in the bootstack, it would indeed be detected as incompatible. I wonder what bootloader the other D802 owners for whom this worked are using...

EDIT 2: Never mind, no need for extra device info right now. Try the hybrid bootstack at this link. I actually checked the contents of aboot this time and this one will be compatible. If this works, let me know if accelerometer, NFC, or RIL don't work. If everything goes well, I'll update the advice in the OP.
[G2 Android Development] Nikkerston:
i didnt get to the hybrid bootstack part since i just reflashed stock and stuffed TWRP on this and now its flashing LineageOS!

EDIT: It BOOTS! will report back later with my opinions on this rom!
[G2 Android Development] Nikkerston:
my thoughts on this rom: Its really great on the LG G2 it really shows how well this phone has aged. android 12 runs suprisingly smooth on it but it is also fast and responsive. battery life is better than in stock rom but its not the greatest but could just be my phone having a really degraded battery. Gapps work fine. i would like to see the powerbutton LED to work with this rom though. thats all i have to say for now. i highly suggest this rom if you want to breathe some life back into your LG G2
[G2 Android Development] menef8:
Very nice build, but I have a little bug on 5Ghz wifi, my standard setup on the router is to allow WPA2/WPA3 authentication on 5Ghz band and the phone can't connect to (authentication failure). If I change authentication method to WPA/WPA2 then the phone connects fine. Before flashing I had LineageOS 16 installed and 5Ghz wifi worked well with WPA2/WPA3.
[G2 Android Development] CrabXDA:
Hello there!

I have a question. USB debugging is enabled by default in LineageOS 19.1? Especcially in 2023-11-18 Build.

I cleaning inside screen and led from a dust and somehow broke the MoBo connector to LCD and now the display not working.

Now i need to force storage on to be able to download the photos.

By default no storage access. (When phone is attached by USB-cable). I forgot to force it on in developers setting.
[G2 Android Development] jb881122:
It's not on by default, but there should be ways to turn it on and/or access storage without needing a working display. ADB in recovery mode should work on both TWRP and Lineage Recovery if you can get the timing right on the Power+Vol Down combination. From there, you should be able to enable ADB on Android or access your storage.

Without display, there's not really any indicator that you got to the screen prompting you to push a volume button to enter recovery, so it will take a few attempts. I'll figure out the exact buttons needed and edit this post with that (it's in #46).
[G2 Android Development] CrabXDA:
Good idea. But after Power button and volume down there is a white window that asking to confirm "Erase data" or someting two times. What to do next? Push power button two times more? I didn't remember that white window.

Once i will get into TWRP recovery i can just plug in phone tru USB-cable and i will see the storage, right?
[G2 Android Development] jb881122:
Here's the procedure:

Power off your device. The easiest way to do this is probably to disconnect the battery, but you could also try holding the power button for ~20 seconds (where it will turn back on right away, so timing might be an issue going that route).

Hold Vol Down+Power for just over 3 seconds. Let go very briefly and hold the buttons again for another 3-4 seconds. After that, let them go.

Push Vol Down, Power, Vol Down, Power in that order to get through the menus.

After 15-20 seconds, try plugging the phone into your computer. If there's an ADB device connected, it worked. Otherwise, restart the procedure.

I didn't check if TWRP has MTP enabled by default or not, but if you have ADB access to recovery, there should be ways to enable it (let me know if you get stuck at that point). Hope these instructions help!
[G2 Android Development] CrabXDA:
Thanks! But without that thing in TWRP "SWIPE TO ALLOW MODIFICATION" the storage will not be shown...
[G2 Android Development] zofbtb:
Just a quick word to say thank you for such a great ROM. I updated from 'official Lineage 18.1' to this and find it much smoother on my d802 32GB.

I even managed to get the SIM recognised and get 4G (which was very difficult on 18.1). I tried a few of the modems listed online and eventually flashed and kept the German one. I also turned off quick switching ('mobile data always-on while on wifi') which seemed to help. I also set the APN and Provider manually.

On the odd occasion it still doesn't get recognised, I just turn on airplane mode, reboot via (lineage) recovery and it is fine if you don't rush swiping/putting in your code then turn airplane off.

My baseband is the same as the one shown in the first post.
[G2 Android Development] yackmaan:
Great, another life cycle for d802.

The only problem I found, for now, apps like Hbo Max, Disney+ don't work. When I stream a movie I have sound, but no image.

I also installed Netflix, it opens, but doesn't work. It says to install another version from Netflix website. I guess is something about device certification.

On Lineage os 17.1 all of the apps mentioned work great.

If you need a logcat I will provide.

Thank you!

Good morning,

For the past few days my a51 has been stuck on the 'samsung galaxy a51' home screen.

I only have access to download mode.

I flashed the stock rom 11 then then 12. Nothing to do.

I do not know what to do !

What was going on with the phone before you flashed the ROM?

Did you wipe the cache, did you reset the phone, what firmware is currently on the phone?

Write more specific details, because it's hard to help.

Hi,

So I've been putting off this last update for some time and finally decided to update it yesterday. Not sure what happened during the process as I left it unattended, came to find out it's stuck on this downloading screen (attacehd image). tried several restarts with no luck.

At one point, after reading a few threads here, I decided to do a firmware restore using ODIN. But, by the time I got to a point to get things going, the phone just shut off! I had it plugged in on the outlet but I guess it wasn't charging? Phone wouldn't start back up anymore!

I would really appreciate some help and guidance on my options now. I'm guessing the battery drained completely Is there any way to get it recharged and revived? If I have to replace the battery with a new one, I can attempt that as well.

Please advise.

Thank you for your input. View attachment 5829073
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] st3chn0:
have you tried smartswitch?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Electronic Punk:
Hmm, does it do anything if you hold all 3 buttons down for up to 30 seconds?

Perhaps try leaving it attached to whatever device you were trying to flash from, your connection to the outlet may not be working?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kimbhoot:
The phone is ALIVE!

Display came on! It's plugged in and back to the same screen. What do I try in smartswitch?

What's the best way to recover from that screen that I posted in my first post? Please advise.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kimbhoot:
Smartswitch fails to connect to the device. What else can I try?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TheTechnoGuy18:
You can try the emergency firmware recovery feature of Smart Switch. Let us know if that does anything.

EDIT: Oops, I didnt read your comment on how Smart Switch doesnt connect to your phone... Try a different PC or USB cable maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kimbhoot:
The phone gets detected in ODIN but smartswitch says failed to connect to the device. please remove cable and try again.

I would like to see if I can recover without losing my data. Do you think that's possible at this point?

I'm downloading the firmware using Frija at this point and thinking of flushing using ODIN. but would like to avoid resetting if at all possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TheTechnoGuy18:
Try using HOME CSC when flashing, if provided. From what I know, it retains user data if flashed with HOME CSC (please look this up yourself however as I havent done much research on this).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kimbhoot:
Can someone please advise the proper firmware and filesets to flush using the home csc and not lose the data?

I have downloaded a firmware using Frija by providing my phone details and using USC as the CSC. I purchased this phone unlocked.

Hi,

I am currently using an u.s.a variant s22 ultra on xaa csc....I own a jio Sim card and jio 5g services are available in my city but my s22 ultra is not getting 5g connection....previously I owned an airplane Sim card and 5g was working on airtel but not on jio Sim card.

I tried unlocking all the bands using *#73# code but 5g is not working for jio sim...

I want to know is there any band lock problem for u.s.a variant that my 5g on jio is not working?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mohitgalaxy3:
Do you have Jio 5G welcome offer activated ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pushkar0501:
Its not showing in the app....says your device is not 5g compatible
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] arjunmurali3:
I am having the same issue in the Hongkong variant s9080 s22 ultra in India,i havnt tried with airtel sim but jio even after activating jio welcome offer is stating that i need to buy a new phone cos mine is 4g
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pushkar0501:
I am also getting same error in jio app saying you are using a 4g device please upgrade to 5g device....

I have tried with airtel it works fine with airtel

I guess 5g bands used by jio are SA and they might be still locked in our device that's why this issue is comming

here same too.:oops:

:(:(:(

You won't get welcome offer without an Indian device, get the welcome offer by putting your sim in an Indian device for 24-48 hrs. Once you get it then try in this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pushkar0501:
Okk...i'll try
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] arjunmurali3:
Did activating welcome offer through other 5g device make 5g work in the non indian variants
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] santoosh:
Are you asking if it worked or telling that this solution has worked for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] arjunmurali3:
Am asking whether it worked or not
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] santoosh:
Ok update.

I tried my sim on a mi11t. And i13 mini.

Welcome offer will get activated after confirmation messages come. But doesn't activate yet.

Then i tried an already activated 5g sim in my u1. Jio. 200mbps. So confirmation that it supports jio 5g. Just activation process we need to crack.

So i think i would need a day or 2 with the 5g phone to activate and then wait for the signal on that device. Then swap to this.

For now i don't hv another 5g device. So nothing much i can do . Except wait.

Regards

Santa

For the 5g part you have to activate the 5g bands manually using the dialer code
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] EdwardMatthew:
It's possible that there could be band compatibility issues between the U.S.A variant of the S22 Ultra and the specific bands used by Jio's 5G network . These compatibility issues may prevent your device from connecting to Jio's 5G network.

Hey mohitgalaxy3 & pushkar0501

Thanks for sharing the information of making the JIO 5G work on a Samsung handset bought in the US. Mine is Samsung 22+ & S22. (both are not working).

I understand that you made it work with the help of a Physical Sim and not E-Sim, Right ?

I have Airtel as my physical sim and JIO as my E-sim .. is it better for me to get the E-Sim converted to a physical sim and then try it in a Indian 5G Handset and make it work for 24-36 hours ?

@pushkar0501 @mohitgalaxy3
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SudhanAE:
Can you help me what do after the dialer code manually ? what to do the band selection for JIO 5G to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mohitgalaxy3:
Yes physical sim is the only solution and don't get into additional headache of checking bands. Required bands are alrdy unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SudhanAE:
Thank you so much !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SudhanAE:
After getting the 5G activated in another device via a physical sim, can I shift from a physical sim to a e-sim after a week or month - would it still work on the Samsung S22+/S22 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pushkar0501:
First concern is that you have to check wether you are using a carrier branded software or an unbranded software...in mine case my phone came with verizon's branded software(SM-S908U) that's why i was neither getting ots updates also....i switched to unbranded software(SM-S908U1) via patched odin and started receiving ota updates and for the 5g part you have to manually unlock the 5g bands and use you jio5g sim for 3-4 days(it worked in mine case)....i'll try to look for dialer code for s22 and s22+ for you and rest of the procedure to unlock the 5g bands is same for all models....

Then try that dialer thingy....i have shared you the link earlier it has full detailed steps

Somehow its not working for me ... I am waiting for the welcome offer to show up in the MyJio App.

subsequent doubt:- the US version of the S22/ S22+ will get the welcome offer on the MyJio App right ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pushkar0501:
I got then you too can just make sure you have kept 5g on on your network settings and have installed the unbranded software upto date version though....

I'll also suggest you a second way.....try putting your jio sim in an indian 5g handset for 4-5 days it'll also work....my one friend did it that way....he got the jio welcome offer by doing this
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SudhanAE:
I had actually made one of the JIO Postpaid Physical Sim Cards available on a Samsung S21+ (Indian Version) on 19th June waiting for the 5G welcome offer to come ... loosing patience I went on the www.jio.com/5g and manual clicked on express interest on 20th June. Now as I type this message I have received the True 5G on the phone and is reflecting as in screenshot.

Now does it make sense to push this to a e-sim on Samsung S22/S22+ US version phone - will the 5G work now ?

Update: I tried to insert the JIO sim which showed 5G in my Indian version of the Samsung S21+ phone but shows only LTE/ 4Gin the US version of the Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bloodkiddie:
So the solution is still not available after reading all the post here.

1. Swap Sim with Indian variant and then swap it back on s23 ultra US variant not working? As per above posts.

Unlocked all bands on Sim slot 1 where physical sim is used is not working.

Can anyone guide or post step wide to follow to activate 5g on s22 ultra US variant?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SudhanAE:
I did try to see if the TRUE 5G will work away from my home location but it did not work.

Open dialer and enter *#27663368378# to get directly into the service mode main menu - This also is not working, it not opening up the menu.

Can someone help in easy simple step to make the TRUE 5G on a US version work ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] EdwardMatthew:
@SudhanAE you may need to troubleshoot your device or contact your service provider for assistance. Check your device settings, ensure you have a compatible plan, and verify network coverage in the area you're trying to use TRUE 5G.
