Hi,

I'm testing lineage-19.1-20230522-nightly-h870-signed.zip and those are my observations:

- camera is working: focus is working and pictures are fine (Thank You Devs for fixing this :) )

- stock camera app hangs (preview hangs) somethimes, open camera is fine

- recording video is ok but preview is freezing every few seconds (open camera)

- playing videos on YT is not stable: in some cases, after a few seconds, playback starts to be choppy and after a short while phone is restarting by itself (this is with bluetooth headphones, I still need to replicate this with speaker) - on 0805 was sometimes choppy without restarts, on 1505 was choppy with restarts like on 2205

- YT is very slow when changing screen rotation / switch to fullscreen

- I see a lot of repeating logs in logcat like: "05-22 08:31:06.437 1364 2101 E DisplayDeviceConfig: requesting nits when no mapping exists." or "[.390881] binder: 5238:5238 ioctl 40046210 7fc4a70814 returned -22"

- a lot of errors, java crashes etc in logcat

Logcat from before YT crash: logcat

I'm trying to get logcat and dmesg from time of crash but atm I can't reproduce this easly (this happened twice, but now it works... somehow... maybe some timing issue / cache issue... log buffers issue... dunno)

This was not a clean install and I was using build-in system update (from settings)

(please note that this is with Magisk installed so if I need to verify any of those observations without any extra mods let me know)

[EDIT] Flashlight is working fine too :)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] LouisLaic:
I don't remember which bootloader I installed on my h870 (how could I know ?), but I always have this error at the begining of the install : "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1"

Removing the 5 first lines of the /META-INF/Com/google/android/Updater-script make it possible to install and use the ROM without any problem though

Very nice to see an official Lineage coming for the G6 !!! Thanks a lot !!!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] radekula:
Update on YT issue:

seems to be gone :) I'm thinking that this was some issue with old dalvik cache / youtube cache or some timing issue on new install. Now it works fine (after those initial two crashes with restarts). As for now I can say that this is fine (for me) both with stability and with changing rotation / window size etc.

After one day of using new version as a daily I can't report any big issues with latest version (22052023).

What I was using / I'm using almost every day:

- camera + flashlight

- fingerprint scanner

- bluetooth audio

- playing videos (mostly on YT)

- using NFC to make payments (I would like to use Google Pay but this is a pain on custom roms so I'm using my banking app)

- alarms (to wake up in the morning)

- wifi 5GHz (~200Mb/s down and ~250Mb/s up with speedtest by ookla)

- LTE

- GPS / Google Maps / Location sharing

- barometer (just for fun)

- automatic backlight level

- phone: calls + sms

- automatic rotation (both screen and lockscreen)

- fast charging

And I can confirm that (at least for me) everything mentioned here works :) (not perfectly but works :p ).

Few things not tested:

- Ambient display (don't like this feature)

- MMS (they are not that popular in my country)

- USB modes (file / media transfers etc.)

- few other features

- encryption (I think LineageOS will not support this on this device)

- wifi hotspot (i'm using this only occasionally and 2.4GHz is enough for me)

There are some things LOS related to improve but this is not a place to report those (like inability to choose second app to run in split screen from app list - just last apps can be choosen).

I hope this list will help others to make a decision to stay on 18.1 or jump to 19.1 :)

PS Sorry for any language mistakes - I am using English only to read technical documentation
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] radekula:
Is there any message before / after like 'Max TZ version (supported by ROM / Current TZ version'?

Each version of bootloader have its own value - that is the way I figured this out. You can check with my post to find out which version You have installed. BTW In thread about 18.1 (this one with EOL) You can find links to bootladers
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] radekula:
Update on Youtube playback issue:

It's still there (h870, 22052023-nightly, maybe others)... but It's very specific... easily to avoid... and not that important at this moment :)

Steps to reproduce:

- use bluetooth speaker / headphones (I don't now if this is necessary)

- go to YouTube Apps Settings

- set video playback to highest quality for WiFi / mobile data

- play high quality video like this: LTT Building a $100,000 PC ...

- playback should switch to 4K resolution (2160p)

- wait for crash and reboot ;)

logcat: logcat-yt-crash

dmesg: dmesg-yt-crash

How to avoid this issue (workaround):

- go to YouTube settings

- set quality to Auto for WiFi / mobile data (this will go to 1440p max)

I don't know if that is also problem with 4K video recordings made by camera - needs testing.

At first glance this looks like issue with timings in kernel in video / bluetooth driver but I can be very wrong here (not my area of expertise here).

DEVS: this is only to let you know and probably it's not needed to fix this any time soon :)

Thanks for great work making 19.1 work on LG G6

Cheers
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] LouisLaic:
Yep :

Max TZ version : TZ.BF.4.0.1-176180
Current TZ version : TZ.BF.4.0.1-185684
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] radekula:
After flashing bootloader: Oreo v20i I had TZ.BF.4.0.1-185684

This version is higher than supported in scripts so update process will fail.

I don't know if this is by design or a bug and I don't know what TZ version is ;)

For me, solution was to flash Pie v30b bootloader as this was the only bootloader where fingerprint scanner is working with LineageOS on my phone and it has (strange, because is much lower) TZ version that works with flashing rom.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] LouisLaic:
Thanks @radekula !

Pie v30b bootloader is the version, TZ.BF.4.0.1-00432

Now updating works.

@npjohnson, can you add this to you 1st post ?

bootloader Pie v30b needed (with a link ? https://sourceforge.net/projects/lg-g6/files/Bootloaders/H870/)

---

Encryption acts very strangely too, does anyone tried it ?

It boots but makes some app not working.

To get back to normal with TWRP

1. wipe your data partition and make change (back ?) the format to ext4

2. restore a backup

20230515 was faulty and it was removed

Latest version is 20230522:

LineageOS Downloads

Please test this again on latest build :)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ankerlevel:
Thanks for the quick fix.

I know AOD is being tested by @ROMSG and @xxseva44 but I was wondering if there's any workaround to make ambient display work.

I don't mind if it's through the main display cause it won't make a difference regarding battery consumption (ambient doesn't keep the display on for too long).

Thanks in advance guys
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Evil_Rage:
Ambient Display is the only feature I'm missing from unofficial Lineage 18.1 builds.

I agree that I wouldn't mind if it doesn't use the secondary panel.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] EmilioDallaTorre:
Hi guys,

so glad this project is online again!

Just a question, as the last time I used Lineage was the official 14.1...

I'm trying to sideload the latest 20230522, but I'm stuck on "Verifying update package" on recovery side.

I have correctly flashed Pie bootloader as @LouisLaic suggested, so I think I should be ok.

Am I missing something?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] EmilioDallaTorre:
Don't mind, it's classi macOS stuff: it worked fine side loading everything from windows. I will investigate on that in the next days...
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Seorzan:
Hi guys, my G6 is comeback alive with this rom, i have h872 version, installed this rom with twrp because i always failed in the "fastboot flash recovery" step, the problem right now is the cpu temperature is very high any suggestion guys?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] khanhprokg12:
The problem is still draining the battery when surfing the web (the device is still hot). When calling the speakerphone, the sound on the receiving side is very low. can i fix it?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Seorzan:
switch to los 18, better battery life n temperature.. ( it still hot but below 50°C, when using los 19 temperature reach 67°C) i also do some diy using thermal paste desktop for my G6, dont do much when the phone is high load but better temperature when idle...
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
try giving the phone a few days to settle down after installing
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Seorzan:
yes i'll wait a week, hope the temperature will be better...

I have an H873, is it just a brick? It never even got updated past android 7.

It is not my primary phone, so is there anything I can try to unlock it? I don't mind if it is riskier than normal.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Cloonix:
Latest unofficial build (H870) running (clean flash): After a few hours the fingerprint hardware stops working. A reboot does not solve this issue. Anyone else have this problem?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
h873 cannot have its bootloader unlocked
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
Could you send a log?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Is that even bootloader unlockable?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Naranet:
That's sad. Is there anything interesting I can do with it? The only thing I can think of to do with it is just use it like a 2005 mp3 player, since it is stuck on android 7. I don't need one of those.

Amazing they locked one of these models down to the point it never even got android 8 or 9, which is supposed to be the last one it should have standard.

I tried to use my sd card as extendem internal memory, but format hangs the phone and drains battery to zero %.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] :
Hello

I have latest official build (19.1-20230626-nightly-h870) and most things work fine except incoming calls. When someone calls me I see black screen and no able to answer call. I can only unlock screen and manage call in notyfication in toolbar. It looks like problem with proximity sensor but nothing in my phone is changed and calls worked fine on older versions or stock rom.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
It sounds like you are trying to use Google dialer and you installed some Google apps package that is unsupported?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Honkette1738:
I think so? If I go into the bootloader it has the menu about getting a device ID. If the LG site allowed you to use your Device ID you probably could.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
It isn't unlockable sadly, I looked
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Honkette1738:
I meant that it was possibly unlockable since you could create an unlock.bin for it if LG allowed you to, but they didn't allow Canadian phones to do so.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Yeah, and if they don't allow you to do it, there's not much of a way to do it, hence it's not unlockable and I can't really help you sadly

I can't log into my wpa3 5ghz hidden wifi nerwork. Any advice?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] :
As was said in instruction I installed MindTheGapps google apps, this installer supports android 12. Maybe it's because I downloaded it from official site not from link given in instrucion.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
I don't think the g5 supports wpa3
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zsiezi:
WPA-Support is entirely Software based. I have a xiaomi mido and an tp-link router without WPA 3 on the stock rom. With custom rom it supports WPA 3 100%.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Incorrect - is not software based.

Relies on firmware and kernel (software, but the driver just doesn't support it).

We have it configured to fallback to WPA2.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] abhinav.p:
H872 stock had FM radio (Link).

I see that FM radio is not listed on the device info page for H872 (Link). Is it possible to have it enabled in LineageOS?

Thanks a lot for the great work!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
It is broken on the 4.4 kernel port. We are working on it but no idea what's wrong.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] AlaricVT:
Hey there. Any reason for Vulkan not working in apps? E.g. in 3DMark Wild Life (black screen) or Geekbench 6's GPU benchmark (stuck at 0%). GLview Extensions Viewer shows Vulkan as available - version 1.1.87. I've tried also some updated Adreno drivers but without success when it comes to Vulkan (the OpenGL part updates correctly).

Thank you for continuous support for the G6!

Edit: I've determined that some Vulkan apps work and some don't - Sling Shot Extreme with explicitly chosen Vulkan renderer works just fine in 3DMark, also the whole of GFX Bench app Vulkan based benchmarks work. And the issue persists on either 06.23 or 07.10 unofficial build. Nothing more than the appropriate recovery and rom flashed. I'm not sure, but it might be connected with the fingerprint sensor not being detected in this rom?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Just fixed the final hurdle to 20.0, not saying it will come _soon_ but we now have a path to official 20.0 builds.

First of all thanks for LOS19 official build.

Everything seems ok, just got weird bug with Proton VPN app, once VPN is enabled, I can't reach internet, google play store show's no internet access, and same is for browser...

Hello ,First i want to thank you for your hard work on supporting this phone.

I want to report that [ Tap to wake ] bug (it works perfectly when the phone is plugged to the pc).

Also the swipe to enter pin or unlock phone is inconsistant ,sometime it works fine others you have to swipe from bottom to top of the screen for it to works.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] HandyE:
Thanks a lot for providing support to that "old" thing !

Just one thing I noticed again: Bluetooth calls seem to be impossible. I can hear the other person without any problems, but the person at the other end is unable to understand me. This happens with all my bluetooth-devices e.g. in-ear-ones, car-audio.

This problem was in older custom-roms, too. Someday it got fixed. Was also working in 18.1, when I remember right.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] knur004:
Hello to all of you in this thread. I read all your feedback about bugs you encountered, problems with installation etc, but before i will jump into this rom i would like to ask everyone about the usability of rom itself - how is performance? Is it snappy when using it, or you can see some hickups here and there? How is battery life? Did you encounter battery drainage for no reason? How is ram usage and how long apps are opening /closing? Any feedback is appreciated
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] benphillipstn:
I just did a clean flash of the latest lineageos on my H872. I am not getting notifications from several apps (facebook messenger, google voice, emal app) until i open them. In the past I solved this issue with "dumpsys deviceidle disable". However, now this is not working for me. Anyone else experiencing the same?

SOLVED: All the apps that were not sending notifications were apps I signed in to using my google account. I had one app that had no problem sending notifications. It was the only app I logged in to using email and password instead of signing in with google.

When I first flashed LOS, I downloaded all my apps and signed in to them. Then I went about passing safteynet. I added google plays store, google play services, and google services framework to denylist and cleared their data (not sure this is even necessary anymore). rebooted. passed safetynet. I believe clearing the data on one of these apps or adding it to the denylist somehow caused the issue.

After clearing data on the apps not sending notifications and signing back in with google the notifications started working.

[Touch Pro CDMA] jb9384:
I just want a normal flash on the phone. If I turn on the flashlight, it permanently turns on the light. I just want the flash to turn on right before the picture is snapped.

Can anyone help me?
[Touch Pro CDMA] Carty:
I don't think that's possible. Maybe they tried this but couldn't get the flash to sync with the capture. In my device, it takes about 3 secs to capture the image after pressing the button. What about yours?

It is anyway good to have flash on all the time as it helps you figure out the display in the really dark photographs.

Regards,

Carty..
[Touch Pro CDMA] jb9384:
That is too bad. Sometimes I just want to take a picture in lower light, not really dark. The flash would be too bright in these situations
[Google Pixel 6] VictorAlvarez_:
I want to buy a Pixel 6, so: which one is the variant that i can root? (G9S9B, GB7N6 or GR1YH). I've heard Verizon variant (i don't know which one is the Verizon one) cannot be rooted.
[Google Pixel 6] ipdev:
Hi. 🙂

I buy my Pixel(s) from Google. 🙃

Global (carrier unlocked) version.

GB7N6 was the P6 version I got. 😉

I am not certain but, I believe..

G9SB9 is the AT&T/Verizon (carrier) locked version.

AT&T version should be able to be carrier unlocked. Not sure about unlocking the bootloader.🤔

The Verizon version can not be unlocked.

GR1YH is the Japan version.

Not sure about carrier/bootloader unlocking. 🤔
​

So I would suggest the GB7N6 version.

Cheers. :cowboy:
[Google Pixel 6] webhook:
You may/can unlock the bootloader of AT&T.

Same as Japan, me with a Japanese Pixel6, you can unlock the phone bootloader.
[Android TV General] Troysp:
Hi guys,

I haven't been using china boxes (z95,H96,...) Due to horrible wifi so I switched customers over to fire sticks as they are lightning quick and wifi is outstanding . Just curious if there are any of the cheaper boxes not Xiaomi as they're too much money for the amount of ram and storage . I'm looking for a box that pulls in atleast 100mbps and works well on a seperate floor.

Thanks in advance
[Android TV General] Troysp:
Also no allwinner boxes as they are Junk. Amlogic or rockchip
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] dsk1000:
looking at phones has come down to a couple brands.

1. Google

2. Motorola

3. OnePlus--

4. Samsung

I don't need the latest and Verizon is my carrier. Being able to root and make it mine is very important, especially when the updates stop. It would be nice to hear from people who own a phone from the above list. thanks.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Ivan.Adriazola:
Im a poor mf, so I dont buy expensive phones or top of the line stuff, my budget doesnt get above 100 USD and thats just if the phone is particularly better than the rest of options under 80 USD, so consider Im tlking about this budget zone.

Samsung is the most reliable one, they simply know what theyre doing, most of them are amoled wich is always nice, and they are fast for their price, dont have too much bloatware (your carrier might add it on his own tho, so be careful of that), all the ones I had could be rooted but none of them had Custom roms, so what you can do with them is very limited, but rooting at least is almost certain.

OnePlus, Ive only ever had two on my hands, they are kinda slow to my taste, I dont like them very much, both of the ones I had had zero options for anything, not even rooting IIRC wich sucks.

Motorola, I remember a time when everyone had a motorola and had them rooted, they loked very similar but where different modelss, I was poorer than I am now back then and I had a phone with buttons at this point, nowadays they seem to have fallen out of fashion but I dont know how they are rn.

Google, havent used them, but Some custom ROMS ae entirely based around the Pixel, so bloatware must be at minimum, Im guessing heyre good.

I would go for Samsung, theyre sturdy, will almost certainly be rootable and probably have custom roms, but I would also recomend xiaomi phones, I have a redmi 9a, and let me tell you, it has lots of custom roms that improve the performance of the phone a lot, and once you unlock bootloader, they become """""easy""""" to unbrick, (if you dont unlock bootloader is almost imposible)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
I've had Motos in the past, and liked them, but they have not been as reliable recently. My last company phone was a Z-something, and it started to bow the battery and screen in an awful way, after about 2 years. That's just terrible.

I've had Samsungs in the past, and currently have an S10+. I also don't want to buy the latest, and bought these (two S10+ - one for me, one for my wife) last year. I've been happy with the Sammys. We're also VZ users (via MVNO).

However, the S10+ are the first phones that we have not rooted (Snapdragons are not rootable and updatable). I agree that rooting is one way to make the phone your own, but honestly I have gotten tired of the ROM situation. In the V30, for example, you lose VOLTE, which makes it useless IMO, particularly on VZ. But the problem I had with ROMs was that you had to keep tinkering and stuff to keep things working... and I didn't see much of an "improvement" with the ROMs. I installed Nova Launcher, and get enough customizability from there.

As for debloating, I don't see the point... it's not an obsession I have, and too much of that can break things. IMO, if you leave those apps alone, they don't take up performance, so why bother? Sure, they take up some space on the system partition, but you can't access that anyway, so I don't see the obsession, but to each their own. That said, you can still remove things via ADB very easily, and that's enough for me. In my case, I disabled auto-updates (I can still update manually). I did that because I don't always like newer updates when they break things... for example, I'm still on 11 because I've heard that 12 breaks the ability to record phone calls, which I really want to keep.

Anyway, that's my take - we're very happy with our S10+ phones. We chose the + because we wanted the bigger battery, and we chose the S10 because we wanted to keep the headphone jack (not available after this model). And, it's not an expensive phone these days (we paid like $300). If they last 3 years, that's $100/yr which is a reasonable place for our needs...
