[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
I recently backed up my los 18.1 and did a factory reset for testing the phone for the problem that i reported above. With this test, the connection with the network went fine. It was a personal test for me to be sure that there was no hardware failure.

But now I have a new problem... by restoring my backup the phone does not boot LOS. It runs fastboot and stays stuck into it. I tried vol- + pwr button to reset but it does not reset. "$ fastboot reboot recovery" reboots it but puts it back into fastboot. During the process of rebooting, if doing on time, the combo vol- + pwr button/1sec. release boots the device into recovery.

So far twrp was doing well with backups. I have been using this feature for testing new roms. But this time it failed. I think it's because of the modified boot.img that i had to do for magisk, though it would be strange, this is the only point that rings me a bell. I will try with an updated twrp. Current is 3.4.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ROMSG:
I'd recomend using LOS recovery and trying again if fastboot works on your variant
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
The latest one?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ROMSG:
yes
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
does anyone know how to get the version number of lineageos from its file tree as seen from the file explorer in twrp?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
I have absolutely no idea what you're asking.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
a version of LOS is installed on my device. From the file explorer in twrp how can I get the version number ( it's a nightly snapshot )?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
Why not just boot the device and look in settings?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
as I said earlier, I backed-up for some reason and restoration is not booting
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
wait, you backed up data on 18.1, and restored it on 21?

No way in hell that's ever going to work.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
can you quote me saying this? This thread is about LOS 21 and my problem is with LOS 18.1 Official but that threat is closed. I didn't see where else i can ask.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
does anyone know whether it's possible to install LOS 18.1 or 20.x without any internet connection? I've heard that it's device dependent...
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
Just make a new thread, we won't be able to support 18.1 using 3.18 here.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
You totally can. Long as your bootloader in unlocked we don't care about inet connection.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
actually in a fresh installation of LOS 18.1, there is the "skip" button at each step of the config wizard. But when I did a factory reset, obviously that wizard came back but this time there was no "skip" button.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
i tried it it seems that it does not support backup and restorations

Is it possible to get latest android 14 gpu drivers included in next update if possible, such as Vulkan v1.3 if able? The flashable I find browsing is from Android Q and Vulkan don't work with v.490.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
No, we won't be doing that.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ROMSG:
Was about to say thats a very old version of TWRP, would still recomend los recovery
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mysticblaze347:
Is it just not compatible or what? Android 14 without Android 14 features seems kinda useless.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
It makes no sense to arbitrarily just kang newer GPU drivers when our firmware doesn't match it whatsoever.

I have no clue what you mean by Android 14 features, Vulkan is not an Android 14 feature.

This is about longevity and compatibility, very far from being about performance.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mysticblaze347:
I read that Vulkan 1.3 came with a14 is why I ask. Not trying to sound rude at all so apologies before hand. The version on Vulkan is what I was meaning to be updated with A14
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
It launched alongside, is not natively included with.

Android 14 supports it, but there are no compatible GPU drivers I'm even aware of that would work on 8996 for 1.3. let alone even 1.2.

Plus our firmwares would mismatch anyway
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mysticblaze347:
I was debating if that was the case but figure I would ask. Was worth a shot incase I over looked something for possibilities and what's available at that.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dextructor:
Since the lack of more volume steps on music players bother me since day 0 I finally made something about it, so let's share.

I used this post on XDA as a reference. I'm starting from the assumption that the user has root privileges, otherwise look for other way around.

0) Using some file explorer (in this scenario MiXplorer) open /system/build.prop

1) I inserted after line 227 ("just to be safe" no other reason) the following additional lines

ro.config.media_vol_steps=100
ro.config.alarm_vol_steps=100
ro.config.system_vol_steps=100
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=100

2) Save > Reboot > Test.

So the value you need to change according to your needs. "100" it's really overkill, but just to you know how much granular control you can get. And when you change the volume, on the panel that appear, you can touch to quicker jump if you have this overkill 100 value.

Now my question for devs or other experienced users

A) All those additional lines are valid according to the code used for this device or Lineage Project?

B) Can you please supply the default values for the additional lines?

C) Considering the scenario that updates are available again, after updating, there's the need to modify "build.prop" every time?

Thanks!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
can anyone summarize the message about radio HAL in the beginning of this thread for people who do not have that knowledge. I suppose that it has nothing to do with radio FM, is it? Also Since this is the very latest version of LOS for this device, isn't it safer to install 20.0?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
Radio design imply FM, I'm talking about cellular service, SMS, calls, etc, they will not work.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
so if i want to be able to use all cellular functionalities i must use earlier versions than LOS21.x?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Envinite:
No it still work in LOS21 as per latest official release, I've tested in on my LGV20 US996 and H990DS.

The notice basically means that it is less likely that LOS devs/maintainer will release any future LOS version updates for the LG V20 and other affected devices because it will break any cellular functionality on them. So yes, you can download the latest LOS21 version and install it just fine, but probably won't get any new updates anytime soon.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
AFAIK migisk is nor recommended and root is working through adb i.e. another computer with android-tools installed and working. Is there anyone who has experience with termux in these circumstances?

another point... the gapps installation instructions mentions that the gapps package must be flashed immediately after LOS. Can anybody explain? So if I flash LOS, run it, and then reboot into recovery to flash gapps it will not work, is it? Isn't there any workaround? where can I get the checksums of MindTheGapps*?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DevanWolf:
The current latest nightly builds (as of March 2024) use the February security bulletin.

I recommend TermOne Plus. (Termux is not in my taste)

If you rebooted to system after installing LineageOS but forgot to flash NikGapps (which happened to me before), just reboot back to recovery, do a factory reset (Format data partition) then you can flash NikGapps since the data wipe makes LOS a clean install again.

I hope you guys find a way to fix this. I use this thing as my daily driver. It's still a good phone and I invested in new batteries too.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] stsz1954:
Hello.

Just a suggestion. The developer for the Samsung Galaxy S5 on XDA, khalvat has successfully merged The March and April android updates for Lineage 14 on that device.

Maybe the developer(s) for this device can reach out to him as to how he did it.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
Nope.

They're picking individual ASB patches - we won't do that - that "isn't really" the march and April security patch, it's literally missing hundreds of patches.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
I'm trying LOS 21.0 20240318 with MindTheGapps. My device is an h990. It's heating significantly more than the previously installed version. I was using 18.1 with Swan kernel.

As for google, It seems that on top of the requirement of internet for the first boot, the user conditions mention that google apps will download and install updates automatically. Is there really nothing to prevent it?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dextructor:
This is my opinion, and I have 0 evidences to support it (maybe one day with time I can gather scientifically the information needed).

Softwares as time passes by demands more from the same hardware, not less. So unless the engineers tried to optimize to be as efficient and conscious of the hardware, it will generate more heat.

You can for starters try to skip the initial setup screen, specially the add google account, because the first boot the operating system just started and it's expected to load many things and demand a lot from the device, battery, network etc.

So if you can "delay" some of the loads, it should help a bit.

And of course you can use the undervolted version of Swan2000 kernel to help you reduce the heat of your device (It's the Extreme variant)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
is there any reason for having included gapps in your unofficial LOS rom?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
Because I want them to be. I use GApps and include pixel features which rely on GApps.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
how long would it take to build LOS 20 or 21 for this device with 16GB ram, i7 13th gen cpu, and as much hd space as needed (hard disk, not ssd)

@npjohnson

I was looking on the downloads release page today and no new releases since QPR2 caos, so far no problem, no rush.

I was looking for some news and I stumble across some thread for Nexus 5 and they where able to build again past QPR2, but I don't understand the black magic involved.

This has been pushed to the main Lineage?

Are you aware of anything else worth sharing?

Thanks
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
they hacked in support with nasty reverts - which we won't be doing
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
It just isn't maintainable - it will break again with QPR3 and 15.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DevanWolf:
Important attention there!

The USB tethering is not working. Trying to switch it on while connected to my computer just turns it off immediately and the notification and Quick Settings tile still reads that USB tethering is on.

Reading the logcat about this problem there is this:

The error message with 0 Google Search results. That's an undocumented error right there, heck it isn't even on Stack Overflow!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dextructor:
Google results are getting worse as time passes by, and it's not my impression only.

And on Stack Overflow I heard rumors months ago of shadowban and massive deletion, but that's the most recent events of user rioting over there.

Devs are our only hope since they have more experience with the code, for example on the release of Lineage 21 I made a post for the error trying to control media playback and the buttons on the headphone didn't work and the logcat errors pointed to some code that had almost 0 references to something even remotely useful, but the heroes here on XDA fixed really quick.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DevanWolf:
OK, but what I need to do is how do I fix the USB tethering error?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] xxseva44:
The error you posted is likely not the root issue at play. Usb is known to be questionable outside of it's bare functions on the V20 thanks to its complex setup. As for when this issue will be fixed, I cannot really say as usb has been a complex issue since the beginning of 4.4.xxx on the V20. This issue should be easily reproduced so no need to send an entire logcat/dmseg.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dextructor:
Until last Friday was ok for what I can remember, but all QPR2 broke our devices so let's hope that they will come back again soon...

For now I have the latest build for my H990 safely stored and you can download from here.

For those with other v20 variants use the unofficial LineageOS Archive respecting the load on the server.

And if you wanna the OP baked with gapps builds they still are available on his on server, and every variant it's linked.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DevanWolf:
They're also archived on Wayback Machine. See this for download links of final LineageOS 21 build and the Lineage Recovery.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Preparedtobereckless:
I'm super confused, I'm sorry

I know 21 stopped due to the thing that I can't remember the name of 😂

But the change log for los 20 claims there was an update 2 days ago. Does that mean los 20 is still getting updated nightlies?

If so I'll switch back to los 20. Thank you for any answers!

LG V20 (GSM Unlocked - DirtySanta) - LineageOS 20.0

LineageOS 20.0 Changelog for LG V20 (GSM Unlocked - DirtySanta) (us996d). This page is listing the official LineageOS 20.0 (Android 13 13) changes and downloads for LG V20 (GSM Unlocked - DirtySanta) (us996d).

www.lineageoslog.com

Your insight is appreciated
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
I've explained before for all intents and purposes none of these devices are currently supported, you are linking a site that is not official, and has no idea what we're doing internally, they just use scripts to scrape together or change log.

The wrapper is in progress, but it is not ready yet, please stop asking, I will announce very loudly when/if it is ready.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dextructor:
Technically yes, but since our device migrated from LoS 20 to LoS 21 and recently since it was discontinued and probably to save space on the servers all files from previous builds are gone. According to Wikipedia LoS 20 code base still receives security patches, but no new builds.

But as mentioned a few post's before you still can download previous Lineage archived builds.

If you wanna use some updated Lineage 20 based ROM's you can flash some alternatives like:

DivestOS

/e/OS (Download Folder replace with your specific variant)

LibreMobileOS

I flashed all 3 ROM's on my spare H990DS and worked, but I didn't have time to test thoroughly, and the Swan2000 kernel it's compatible as well if you wanna try

Didn't have any idea about that, thanks for this link.

Since we don't know what's happening behind the scenes, I understand that you and other devs wanna respect + space. Thanks for the heads up.

You are awesome. Thank you 🤘
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
AFAIK the latest build contains gapps. I know since I tested it. I have not tested LOS 20.0 (20240212). Does anyone know if it contains gapps? I want to try LOS without gapps. Also did anyone here ever try those alternative roms?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Argonon:
I'm using Divest OS Android 13 and it's pretty good and stable. I think you will like. It's based on LOS and no google crap

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Argonon:
Screenshot was just to show the build number etc so folks could look it up if they wanted. As far as /e/OS I just haven't got to it yet. Does it receive OTA monthly?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DevanWolf:
But does it have the full Quad DAC functionality like LOS 21 has?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Argonon:
Good question. Unfortunately I flashed Viper4android and when I turn on DAC it just cuts the sound off. I have also modified tons of stuff on the fly so not sure. Never tried it before you posted

Guys I posted the many Lineage 20 based ROM's since it was asked, but let's remember that none of those ROM's:

A) Don't have an Official thread on XDA, some of them have their on internal forums

B) Most of them don't have a proper v20 to test it, so they can't guarantee anything

So let's keep this thread as much as possible related to Lineage 21, otherwise open an thread in other section on XDA to keep it organized.

Since it is based on Lineage 20, it "works" as well Lineage 20, nothing more, nothing less.

I'm still using Lineage 21 because the reworked/revamped Quad DAC it's awesome, and it's much better that Lineage 20 and in my opinion that even Stock LG ROM's, with all tweaks and controls.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aolex:
Hi,

is there any known issue with "audio recording" apps? because I tried a few (easy voice recorder, etc) including the Lineageos one, and there's no record nor "wave", like if the mic was muted or there were no mic.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dextructor:
I liked to use Audio Recorder on all my android devices (including on my first Galaxy Watch) and worked really fine for the most part, but I realized that on custom ROM's on the v20 never worked as well (it worked well on the stock Nougat and Oreo, but not as good as the Hi-Fi LG recorder app).

So because of the complexity of mics and other things needed to be worked with the dev team, I recommend using the stock Lineage recording app, unless someone can suggest something better.

I tested on my H990N right now the Lineage recorder, and in the settings menu there's an option "Record in high quality" that creates an WAV file. I can´t really vouch anything more than that, but the mic worked.

My subjective experience so far audio recording on the Lineage it's there's much room for improvement since the volume recorded it's low and can be enhanced with the appropriate time like they did on the QuadDAC.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aolex:
Thank you for your quick reply!

Actually, what I did was the good ol' Windows' fix... restart, and after that it worked (I remember I did that for another issue I had).

I did use the stock one, and tried both options (high quality) but until I restarted it, none work.

I'd like to use the LG HD recording app, but couldn't make it work...

Btw, for future references, I had issues with the 3.5 minijack, were not only couldn't here anything but that had the plug/unplug backwards (plugin it will enable the speakers while unplugging it will disable them, and no sound would come out), I found some thread that someone suggested turning DAC on... and that did it (I might have had to restart after it), headphones work + plug/unplug works as expected.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
ok. Nobody is planning a release (unofficial of course) of LOS 21 without gapps?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
nope.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DevanWolf:
I use this app, it's much better because of the UNPROCESSED recording option and high sample rate selection.

LineageOS's audio recorder app is stupid because it records downsampled at 44100Hz.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] itt533:
ok. Do the sources also include gapps?

I mean, by executing

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] npjohnson:
Unofficial build users:

For the next build you will need to update by hand in recovery and select "Yes" when prompted about signature mismatch.

I have started signing my builds again, and set it up so that you can migrate without wiping data, but you must select "Yes" to ignore signatures once to swap to a signed build.
