I'll have to try this later this week. Does USB OTG work?

Anyway, thanks for keeping G5 development going.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] dertuxinator:
does your answer make sense? *mmh* maybe... possible answers could be: not tried, no idea or simply no.

the kernel can't be the reason why it didn't work under LOS 19.1. under crDroid v7.28 with the "[KERNEL][4.4.302] Swan2000 Kernel for the LG G5" I can do exactly that: Set up a 5 GHz AP.

The same device on LOS 19.1 to spin up a 5GHz AP? doesnt work. nevertheless with the build in kernel or the SWAN Kernel.

srry @npjohnson to be harnished with you. but i had have a simple question.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
About 50% of that message didn't make a ton of sense to me.

What I'm saying is a significant amount of the platform side and the kernel side have changed in 20, in that specific area, I'm saying I have not tested it, but it could very well be solved, you'll need to try it yourself.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] andrerodr:
Tested so far

Gps works - satstat

Ir blaster works

hdmi over usb works

Night color has some glitches

Only 2.4g ap

The battery seems to drain a bit faster than los19, requires more investigation

Dual rear camera not working on aperture, but is fine on opencamera

On the Hi-fi dac did some quick test the loudspeaker works but the headphone is not recognized

It's amazing we still have updates on this phones thank you!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] AShiningRay:
So... official kernel maintainer for both swan and los-lge_8996 here.

If AP 5GHz works on swan and not on the official kernel, something's really wrong with the G5 side of things, since Swan2K and lineage's kernel for V20/G5/G6 are literally based on the same source and share 99% of all commits... hell, Lineage's kernel is actually based off of Swan2K after it reached a good base point for official LOS support.

Nevertheless, i'm definitely going to look at G5 and G6's bcmdhd drivers when i have the time, this looks really suspicious given that G6 also has a similar issue.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] AShiningRay:
Hi-FI DAC as in, the module? Impressive that it works in any capacity, cause we don't have support for LG Friends at all on 4.4 (or even in 3.18, where it's really tacked-on and hacky all around, no way we were transplanting that into 4.4, that would require an insane rewrite).
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] andrerodr:
I know that the hifi dac doesn't have support but I gotta test it anyway.

BTW charging the phone via hifi dac gave the phone a new ability - wireless charging 🤣
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] andrerodr:
Nfc isn't working either, the menu is empty.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Weird, will need logcat from boot from you to debug it.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Wr4i7h:
My phone was running an early build of LOS19, so I figured this was a good time to update.

I downloaded the H85020a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1030.kdz stock 7.0 Nougat image from this thread and installed it with LGUP with no issues. After rebooting, however, the phone was stuck in the animated LG logo with blue LED flashing softly. I left it there for nearly an hour, but nothing happened (other than the phone heating up a lot), so I decided to try moving on with the installation. Is Android 7 really necessary?

Installed the latest recovery via fastboot, placed lineage-20.0-20230820-nightly-h850-signed.zip and MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64-20230808_213316.zip in the sdcard, booted recovery, formatted data, installed the zips, and rebooted to system. The phone came right back to the recovery. I noticed that I didn't install boot.img, which I suppose contains the kernel, so that would explain it. The instructions don't mention flashing it. After flashing boot.img with fastboot flash boot boot.img, I'm still getting nothing. Formatting system and installing only LOS20 without gapps doesn't help either.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: flashing stock 8.0 from H85030f_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1122.kdz works. Why do the instructions say we need to install 7.0? That was a waste of time.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] andrerodr:
This logcat was taken after a factory reset and los20 reinstall and the hi-fi dac was not pluged since the reset. I'm not plugging it again as it's probably messing other stuff.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Azukegi:
I can't get location working for some reason. I have NikGapps Core package. I also keep getting a backup error in SeedVault. Also, it's not included in the logcat but sometimes when Lineage updates OTA the fingerprint breaks And the only way to fix it is clean flash.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Wr4i7h:
USB C OTG and NFC don't work for me. Trying to connect an OTG hub with Power Delivery breaks charging until reboot, unless USB debugging is enabled. Could some of this be caused by starting with stock 8.0?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
You do need 7.0.

Fingerprint won't work otherwise.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Wr4i7h:
But my fingerprint reader works fine. Only OTG and NFC don't.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] AShiningRay:
That OTG issue certainly not (it's known to be buggy on the newer 4.4 kernel ever since the project started, insanely difficult to fix), NFC issues on the other hand can, in fact, stem from firmware.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] cyxae:
Thank you very much for keeping this phone alive !

After one week on this ROM I can tell it is running great for my needs ;)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] GeorgeTR1:
I am considering attempting to install this OS on my phone, but VoLTE not working seems like a big concern. If my understanding is correct, at least in the US, all providers seem to have already or will soon shut down their 2G and 3G networks, meaning that VoLTE is the only way to make calls.

Is this information correct? Does anyone know of a workaround for this? If I can't use my phone to make calls that would definitely be a deal-breaker for me.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
If HSPA is supported by your network you'll be fine.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] GeorgeTR1:
At least according to any research I've been able to do, there is currently no network in the US that supports HSPA.

T-Mobile supports hspa.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] GeorgeTR1:
Depends on what you mean by "supports".

Based on this reddit thread, T-Mobile HSPA does seem to be up in some areas as of March of this year, despite T-Mobile officially saying that "As of July 1, 2022, T-Mobile’s older 3G UMTS network has been retired" (source). Maybe T-Mobile doesn't consider HSPA part of UMTS (even though it is), since they misleadingly labeled HSPA as "4G"? In any case, whatever coverage does exist is rare and in isolated pockets.

T-Mobile does still have 2G operating, but only until April, 2024. Even I didn't mind that fact, this thread leads me to believe that the coverage is definitely not reliable, especially depending on where you are in the country. There are also numerous issues with trying to use it. The thread also points out that there are no other carriers in the US still offering 2G, as confirmed here.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] GeorgeTR1:
As far as I see things, the only solution worth persuing is one that would somehow allow me to make calls using 4G coverage, without using VoLTE. I don't know if such a thing exists.

Even if there might exist some provider somewhere where things would work sometimes in certain places, it seems that in the US, unlike seemingly most of the rest of the world, the providers have collectively decided to phase out anything pre-4G, it's just they've done it at slightly different times.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] onli89:
I observed two issues with this ROM. Does anyone see the same issues, or has a solution?

1. My device sometimes reboots without any apparent reason. Granted, it's old and it might be a hardware issue, but I'm not sure about that.

2. After a reboot, only the default Browser has internet. All other apps only get a connection when I go into its settings, enter "Mobile data and Wi-Fi", disable "Allow network access" and then enable it again.

This phone ran the official 19.1 Lineage rom before, and the firmware should be up to date (fingerprint scanner also works).

Should I open a bug report in the tracker for the second issue?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ToltecCat:
I had a similar problem. Apps missbehavied and the reboots kept getting worse, up to the point in which my phone bricked after one of them. I think that was because I upgraded to 20 directly from 19. After I've downgraded to Android 7 and then installed 20 again, the problem was gone.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] onli89:
That might very well be it. Uff, I saw the note in the install guide, but did not expect that to be a requirement if Lineage 19.1 worked properly, I thought it only applied if the correct firmware was never installed before (firmware requirement != stock rom requirement, to me).

@ToltecCat, would you be so kind and link me to which version of Android 7 you used exactly as as a base? Did you have to use LGUP, or could it be installed like with the Lineage recovery, using adb sideload? I assume a factory reset is out of the question, to not lock the bootloader again?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Sand23:
A factory reset and even a system partition wipe should not have any effect on the phone's unlocked bootloader status i.e an unlocked bootloader should stay unlocked. By the way I have successfully directly upgraded from 19.1 to 20.0 without any major issues. Minor issues (for me) were NFC not working and "tap to wake" generally only working when phone is charging. "Tap to wake" only worked properly on 18.1 and NFC only ever worked on stock firmware.

I have also tried upgrading separately from stock nougat and Oreo to Lineage 18.1, 19.1 and 20.0 and still NFC is broken without any options and "tap to wake" only working on 18.1. Obviously these issues may only be affecting me and someone else may not be having any of these problems!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ToltecCat:
I think it was mentioned here in the thread that it needs 7 to work properly. The upgrade guide also states that. I didn’t give too much thought to it, just pushed through with what’s advised when problems occured.

Check lg-firmwares dot com. Unable to tell if this site is safe or legit, but I'm fairly positive I got builds from there. That was years back so I don't remeber exactly, sorry.

And yes, you need to use LGUP to install it.

I don’t think a factory reset affects the bootloader in any way. It will just wipe your data etc.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ToltecCat:
Can confirm NFC dosen't work. The tile is grayed out and the menu empty.

Tap to wake is a hit or miss, so is the behaviour of the proximity sensor in relation to ambient display. I too have noticed that they work perfectly fine when the phone is connected to a charger, but they seem to mafunction when it's not. It was the same on 19 for me.

Other bugs I've noticed:

- Night light is glitchy (it seems as though its intensity fluctuates alongside switching between apps which are running in the background).

- Battery life is worse than on 19.

- When toggling between opened apps, they sometimes get stuck and don't want to open back.

Please note these observations are after I reverted to 7 and then installed 20.

Other than that, it's great to have 20 on this phone. The devs made an amazing work.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ToltecCat:
Oh, and the version you need to download is: H85020v_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0323.kdz

I also double checked my files. The firmware was downloaded from the site I mentioned in my previous post.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Clayman_32:
I installed first last Nougat 7 package and then Lineage 20 on two LG G5 and on both after a while in Magisk v26.3 the root disappear (in Magisk I see N/A when you see if it is installed).
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] onli89:
So, I think I solved understand my problem with needing to toggle the internet permission. It wasn't related to the upgrade from 19.1. Instead, it's about the sd card: When it is used as internal storage (so the usage the settings recommend against), apps installed on the SD card have this bug. Moving the apps to the regular internal storage fixes it.

Sadly I found this solution only after a factory reset. But since I can reproduce the error I'm certain it's not the reset that helped (and I doubt an install from 7.0 would have any effect here).

I'm gonna post again if the situation changes in a few reboots, but I tested it a few times now and this really seems to be the cause and the solution.

Note that this is not broken on all LineageOS 20 roms, so maybe this is fixable?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Pittonecio:
Is it just me or there is a bug when using the japanese keyboard and using double tap on screen to unlock the phone?

I have to restart the phone 1 or 2 times before it shows hiragana, katakana or kanji when using japanese language on both AOSP keyboard and Gboard.

And for the double tap, it works the first time but after that it stops working no matter how many times you tap the screen, it works again after restarting and keeps working for a while but the same issue happens randomly across the day.

Hey all, I am moving and therefore the unofficial update server/wiki will be down for a few days. Likely Wednesday, Friday at the worst.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Uncomplicated:
Thanks for the efforts. LineageOS 20 is working nicely on my H830, with one minor issue: bluetooth connection with all my headphones became very unstable with a slight increase of distance (totally unusesable beyon 1 meter) . Am I the only on having this issue?

BTW, LineageOS 19 does not have this problem.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:

Would I need to unlock the bootloader after installing LG stock 7.0? How could I unlock it?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Not even sure nowadays to be honest.

LGE is hard to recommend.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Sand23:
If you already have an unlocked bootloader it will still be unlocked after going back to stock. Your phone will still show "Device is not certified" in Play store settings even though you'll be running an official stock firmware.

If you want to relock the bootloader while running stock you can do this via fastboot mode with the command "fastboot oem lock" (without quotes ). Just make sure you have the unlock bin file to your phone otherwise you will probably never again be able to unlock the bootloader for future LineageOS installations. Best to just keep your phone's bootloader unlocked!

I'm having problems with the front camera, it doesn't seem to recognize it

I have an H850, I tried it with LineageOS 20 and 19

On the other hand, with version 18 and earlier than this I have no problems with the front camera but in version 18 the OTG does not work for me so I am in a dilemma between losing the front camera or the OTG.

I tried installing other kernels but when I want to start the system it gets stuck in fastboot
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Sand23:
The latest update (15/10/2023) seems to have fixed the broken "Tap to wake" option, at least in my case. Works 100%, even after turning off the phone & restarting.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DidierMoulin:
Hello,

thanks for this ROM: while being on a new phone, got my couple of unlocked h850 (still on LOS 17(.1?)) out for the kids to use, nice suprise seeing even LOS 20!

But: reading, it doesn't support encryption I am now wonderingt if it's a good idea to use LOS 20 and giving it to kids who might loose / forget their phone anywhere? Anyone thoughts on this?

Or is it better to use LOS 19? Mind, I found that I downloaded "lineage-19.1-20230623-UNOFFICIAL-h850_incl_GAPPS.zip" a while ago and forgot about it. But all newer downloads of LOS 19 are gone, any other availability? Otherwise I might just stay with mentioned ZIP. Thanks!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Considering these devices have about six different trusted execution environment vulnerabilities that are unpatched and will not be patched because LG is out of business and this device is end of life? The data wasn't ever really secured to begin with.

Those ex caption keys can be extracted etc.

Plus the bootloader has to be unlocked on LG devices which implies a massive security issue to begin with
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DidierMoulin:
Ok, and I understand I think, but of course I'm thinking of: does the devices data is less secure if not encrypted if found by someone on the bus etc. - not thinking about pros or the NSA... I.e. is the data ready accessible by any mildly interested nerd who found the device somewhere. Sorry that I don't know about that.

Very cool, Android 13 on 7 year old phones, top!

I have a total of 7 LG G5s in the family, all with Lineage 17.1

Now, when I saw that Lineage 20 is available, I flashed one of the devices

to create a master and then use TWRP to clone this master image to the other devices.

With the first clone I have the same problem as with 17.1

Since the master and the clone have the same Mac address, there are problems in the WLAN,

crashes etc. With the 17.1 phones I solved this with the app "change my mac",

unfortunately this does not work on Android 13.

Does anyone have a tip on how to solve this?

How can I change the Mac address permanently?

sorry for bad english...
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] npjohnson:
Why compliance things like that?

It'd be far cleaner to just set up each device...
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bombitout:
Yes, of course it is cleaner to set up each device individually.

But the installations on the master are very extensive,

I would almost prefer my family to leave the house, then there would be no duplicate logins in the WLAN and the problem would be solved. :LOL:

Seriously, if anyone has any useful tips for solving the problem, I would be delighted.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Sand23:
Wi-Fi is broken for me since yesterdays update 18/11. I have gone through the usual settings and can't find anything that would stop a connection, just shows "saved" then a message with "failed to connect to network".

Anyone else having the same problem after this latest update?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ToltecCat:
I didn't notice any changes in Wi-Fi behaviour. Seems to be working fine. It looks like the update addressed the glitchy night light issue (either that update or the previous one, as I've installed them one by one).
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ToltecCat:
Actually, I do seem to have some problems connecting to a Wi-Fi network which wasn't previously saved on the phone. Each attempt ends with "failed to connect to network". So if that's what you meant, yes, I'm having a similar issue.
