too late i cant keep formating..... and installing apps

thats why i asked if it works ok cause its the only thing i do with my g6

hope it gets fixed soon.... 5ghz hotspot surely worked in 18.1
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] xxseva44:
AOD will not be here, yet. As this is official LOS, we cannot enable aod, at least not with the aosp method. First the lg method must be reimplemented, once that is done, aod may come back.

As for advanced restart, you have to search for that in settings.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ankerlevel:
Hi,

I'll keep posting about new bugs as soon as I find them. The overall rom experience is still great, I'm trying to help to get bugs sorted.

After using my phone for one more day I've noticed that double tap to wake fails sometimes.

Thanks
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] radekula:
I can confirm that advanced restart is there - I don't know why first few searches (in settings) didn't show any options (maybe some translation or search cache issues).

As of AOD - I can live without it :) It's just nice feature to have, nothing more for me :)

I have tested this on clean 18.1 with gapps (unofficial) and focus was working so this was not a hardware issue. I reinstalled 19.1 nightly (official) with gapps only and focus is not working. I think this can be related to other camera issues reported here.

At this moment this is not a big issue for me but having a working camera sometimes will be useful.

Can I help with resolving this issue somehow?

Best regards
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] xxseva44:
Could you grab some logs for camera? Ideally logcat and dmesg.

If you have adb, you can run the following:

Logcat:

adb logcat -d > C:/Location/logcatname

Dmesg:

adb shell su -c dmesg > C:/Location/dmesg.log
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
Which variant are you? Also I'm testing AOD right now with the secondary power saving backlight so hopefully that should be ready soon 🤞
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] radekula:
It was already late for me yesterday but today I did grab logs:

Logcat

dmesg

Thanks for help with commands - it was a long time since I last done this. If you preffer other methods of posting logs other than Google Drive then let me know (Pastebin maybe?)

My testing method was as follows:

- poweroff phone

- poweron phone and go to home screen

- wait for a 1 minute (waiting for background apps to start)

- open stock Lineage camera app, try to focus few times, close app (back button)

- open 'Open Camera' app, try to focus few times, close app (back button)

- grab logs

Focus was not working during those tests.

My mistake, I should post this info in my first post here :) My device is:

- h870

- EU unlocked (using official tools long time ago)

- bootloader: LG_G6_H870_EU_Pie_Bootloader_v30b.zip (from this thread)

- clean LineageOS 19.1 nightly + MindTheGapps (for now, but I will need to install Magisk very soon)

- previously on LineageOS 18.1 unofficial from thread above

- phone used as daily driver

As of AOD I'm happy to hear that :D

If that's not a problem can I see changes in code that are needed to enable this? Git diff / GitHub branch compare? (PS I'm not an Android engineer but I'm software developer and I wonder if I will be able to learn something new)

Cheers

will you please fix 5Ghz hotspot? worked fine on 18.1
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
Stop, I've told you multiple times it's being worked on
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jis251:
Why don't you use 2,4ghz?? 5ghz is not so much faster, only devices close to router is little faster. The further devices are from router the slower 5ghx is because 5 uses higher frequency so it's range is limited. Use 2,4ghz
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] akaloith:
my main connection in my house is based on my lg g6 being used as a mifi

EVERYTHING is slower in 2.4GHz, have been using 5GHz till now in 18.1 and this is a MAJOR downgrade
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jis251:
learn about 2,4 vs 5 instead of spamming. they will fix, if they can. Some patience and some respect.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
STOP.

We are aware - we are working on it - just use 18.1 if it's critical to you.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
If you keep complaining and spamming I will have to get the moderators involved again

Last warning
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] akaloith:
they asked me why dont i.... i answered. had no intension to say it again
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Ivan_Meler:
Thats a you issue in that case. rom thread clearly says use at your own risk, Developers are doing this on voluntary basis and they already told you they will look into it and possibly fix it.

take this as a final warning if i see you continue with this behavior there will be sanctions against your account for trying to start fights and drama for whatever reason

THANKS TO THE DEVELOPERS WHO SUPPORT OUR OLD DEVICES
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Bill720:
I'm sure he appreciates the encouragement, and we all know how frustrating broken wireless features on CyanogenMod can be. Believe me. I was there when Bluetooth didn't work right in the Samsung Epic days, over a decade ago, and it was frustrating as hell. I don't know how long it took to get fixed, or even if it ever did get fixed at all, because I ended up rolling back to a much earlier version of the rom. That's just the risk we take when deviating from the safe boundaries of the stock rom/kernel combination.

The bottom line is that, if you're after perfect stability and operation of all features, you might be better off sticking with the stock rom, or a custom based off of the stock. Certain corners of CM can tend to be minimally staffed, so, now that you've made your concern known, there's not much we can do now except to hope and pray that someone comes through with a solution.

Either way, I can't have the onslaught of reports in this thread continue, so, please ease off if you don't have anything meaningful to contribute.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Schlummi8122:
What a great message to see life back in our loved LG G6.

I am still on an older Havoc3.11 and my device is short in free space. Could anybody tell me how much free space will there be available after installing this latest LineageOS 19.1?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] radekula:
I can't tell You how much free space is after clean install but now with quite a few apps installed I have 14GB taken (of 32GB) and rest is free. This is with ROM + MindTheGapps and all my apps that I use almost daily installed (without any games). All my media files and downloads are on SD card.

I hope this helps You :)

LineageOS Downloads

download.lineageos.org

new version 15/05

changelog? wifi hotspot 5Ghz fixed?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] AShiningRay:
No, those fixes are mostly aimed at H872 specifically (although it applies to all US variants), which didn't support hotspot at all based on internal testing.

If your device already has hotspot working at 2.4GHz, its hotspot should be intact compared to older builds.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jozekn:
Hi, first I would like to thank you for the support for our devices.

Until now I was on on Official Lineage 14.1 and TWRP. I installed Recovery and LineageOS build 20230508 according to the instructions for new install including Wipe.

I can't get fingerprint reader to register fingerprint. After clicking Confirm it returns immediately notification that Registration was not finished.

I dont now weather I should first install Stock ROM or there are some other instructions I missed.

Phone: H870

how can i keep magisk while updating??

it boots into recovery so cant keep it

do i just flash it again?

adb sideload magisk.zip ?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
we don't support magisk so you would have to reflash after updating
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
thats for 2.4Ghz only, some other devices were having problems with hotspot as well
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Lol - I'm not a lawyer dude - this is the standard disclaimer most lineage maintainers provide.

I have no clue if it actually voids your warranty. It's an assumptive disclaimer - some of them say "will eat your cat"
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
You do realize LG warns you when you unlock your bootloader that it does infact void your warranty? It's literally written out on the phone while in fastboot lol
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JW09I4:
It's asinine for anyone to respond with "I'm not a lawyer" when referencing a warranty - warranties are provided to you in paper and electronic form, and since being on this site means one can read, then one can read three sentences from the warranty provided.

Folks need to stop fear mongering and parroting this and that voids your warranty when it's clear the folks who are saying that have never bother to take the few minutes to open the warranty PDF (user guide in this case) and do a search for the word "void". Factual information matters, not some random person's opinion.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JW09I4:
If it's not in the warranty, it doesn't void the warranty. Seriously, I provided a link to the warranty so do your due diligence and actually read the warranty. Asinine.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
It ain't fear mongering if what we are telling you is true. You have gravely misinterpreted LGs warranty policy, if anything your the one spreading false information.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JW09I4:
What precisely have I misniterpreted from their warranty? Please be specific, as in the exact page number and a copy/paste.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Cool man - I'd really recommend you consider starting conversations reasonably and not so aggressively - really not pleasant.

From my side - I've seen multiple people get their hardware defect repair service by LG be turned down for having been boot loader unlocked alone.

I get that there are people suing and pushing legislation and arguing that LG is legally required to do so - but I am putting what the average person is going to experience - and that is that LG is going to tell you to go away.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
What is "right" doesn't align with "what happens" - you are welcome to join the variety of class actions related to exactly this, but as for the average user - they're not going to do anything other than either pay for it or give up.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
"Modifying the device’s operating system or installing software from unofficial sources may damage the device and lead to data corruption or data loss. Such actions will violate your LG license agreement and void your warranty."

Such actions will violate your LG license agreement and void your warranty

The "license agreement" refers to the software pre installed on the phone. When you buy the phone your not only agreeing to purchase the hardware but also license to LGs proprietary software. Removing such software will void your warranty.

For the record why do you even care? It's not like any g6s are gonna be getting any warranty support from LG
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JW09I4:
In this specific context, personal experiences don't matter, as the only thing that does is what's written in the warranty. It doesn't matter what your opinion is or what my opinion is, the only thing that matters is what's written in the warranty, as the warranty is a legally binding contract that is legally enforceable.

Smartphones do not come with a software warranty, they come with a hardware warranty, and in order for a hardware warranty to be voided, the hardware itself must be damaged - flashing an OS does not damage hardware, even if done incorrectly.

What I would say to the anecdotal experience you shared is the phone owner got duped because they didn't bother to read the warranty.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
And what would suggest those users do? Sue LG. Over a $600 phone? You do know the cost of a lawyer right?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JW09I4:
What you quoted refers to damaging the device (e.g. hardware) - don't take my word for it, write an email to LG's legal dept asking for clarification.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
It doesn't matter either way, right or wrong voiding a warranty over a bl unlock is NOT illegal.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Personal experiences totally matter dude.

Again "right" != "what happens"

On paper, yeah, you're right - and it's not anecdotally - it's literally the experience I had trying to RMA my v20, as well as multiple other people in the Q/A section of this very forum.

AND these devices are all so old there is no warranty anymore lol - so this argument literally doesn't matter.

Please stop arguing this on a thread intended to be about software development and test a ROM.

Useless fodder that argues just for the sake or arguing.

I'm not fear mongering ****. I'm saying "assume this is the case" - if they manage to get it repaired, coolio. Not my experience.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JW09I4:
No, you file a complaint with whatever regulatory authority regulates warranties in the country resided in; in the U.S., it's the Dept. of Insurance for whatever state you live in. Once a complaint is filed with the D.o.I, by law the company must respond within thirty days or they will be fined by the D.o.I.

Most warranties and service contacts prevent suing anywaysz forcing the consumer into third party arbitration, however I'd file a complaint with the D.o.I and reach out directly to the applicable C-suite executive at the company (contact info can be found by a bit of research on Google due to B2B sites that list direct phone numbers and email addresses of executives at many companies.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
As well as data loss/corruption. LGs own reps are not a reliable source of warranty information, you would want to contact their legal department
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ROMSG:
Doesn't mean they'll do it, if they chased every little complaint like this that would be all they have time for
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JW09I4:
D.o.I complaints are unlike any other complaints most are familiar (many have likely never heard of the D.o.I), as the D.o.I is what approves a company's license to sell insurance and warranties in their state and the authority to revoke those licenses is in the hands of the D.o.I as well (everyone in the US is familiar with the former because auto insurance deductibles are negotiated by the D.o.I every two years with insurance companies, which is why a deductible amount may exist one year, but not the next).

D.o.I complaints are handled by a company's corporate office and it's relatively rare for a company to not respond since hefty fines can be imposed by the D.o.I. (if malfeasance is great enough, the D.o.I can revoke a company's license to provide warranties in their state).
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Again, please stop - this is a development thread. I don't care about discussing legality or filing warranty complaints.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DaReDeViL:
Ok guys, the off-topic discussion stops here, please 🙏
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] radekula:
Hi,

i've tested lineage-19.1-20230515-nightly-h870-signed twice on my device to be sure (first time I needed to do a fast rollback to 0508) and I have few observations:

- cameras are not detected at all

- flashlight is not detected / not working

- general stability is worse than 0508 (few restarts in short time - but this may be a bad flash - needs more testing on my side)

- in logcat I see some missing libriaries:

Could not load /vendor/lib/hw/camera.msm8996.so from default namespace: dlopen failed: library "libsymphony-1.1.1.so" not found: needed by /system/vendor/lib/libSJFingerDetect.so in namespace (default).
05-17 20:27:13.445 5271 5271 E HAL : load: module=/vendor/lib/hw/camera.msm8996.so
05-17 20:27:13.445 5271 5271 E HAL : unknown

- on positive side: ROM looks to be more responsive (in some situations)

Those are logs from first few seconds after a boot time:

Logcat (some warnings and errors there)

Dmesg (looks pretty clean, I think)

This one is true even with fresh, clean install (any ROM version for 19.1):

- only bootloaders: Nougat v11i (not supported) and Pie v30b work with flashing this ROM for h870

Oreo bootloaders have wrong TZ versions:

- Pie v30b - TZ.BF.4.0.1-00432 (fingerprint scanner works)

- Oreo v20j - TZ.BF.4.0.1-194871

- Oreo v20i - TZ.BF.4.0.1-185684

- Nougat v11i - 12xxxx (fingerprint scanner not working)

Max TZ version (supported by ROM): TZ.BF.4.0.1-176180

So Pie bootloader works (maybe) just by luck as 00432 < 176180 ;)

I think (as for now) only Pie (and not Oreo) is supported for h870.

Device:

LG G6 H870 (EU Unlocked)

Bootloader: Pie v30b

Recovery: LineageOS

Version 19.1 nightly 20230515 (temporary)

Please remember that I use Magisk so those aren't bug reports... just my observations and I don't expect them to be fixed - I just want to help others if those errors may affect them :)

Best regards

[EDIT] I'm back on 0508 as flashlight and (partly) working camera is crucial for me atm (but I can flash other versions for a test if needed)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ankerlevel:
Yeah, camera not working here either.

Thank you on behalf of others for quick reaction :) (personally I can live with pretty major bugs :P )

As soon as I will have some free time I will prepare building environment for myself to test this kind of fixes (device specific) as soon as possible (before official builds will be available). I hope this will be more useful for devs than only logs.
