No idea. What I can tell you is that while a lot is shared (in nature of being the same device) the entire device tree and kernel has been re-implemented from the ground up by a new group of people (with SGCMarkus providing us pointers along the way). So maybe it just needed a rewrite to fix everything.

LOS recovery indeed only provides a method to flash (and a fastboot alternative; if you really wanted to, I guess you can dump userdata partition to your PC via fastboot but generally speaking backups are a thing of the past)

Very interesting. It'll be on my list of things to look out for, though not anytime soon as it is midterm season and I am about to die :D

Two questions:

Does Dual Screen work in LineageOS?

I have last stock firmware (12/V40b-EEA-XX, locked bootloader), with working VoLTE/VoWiFi and fingerprint) - is it possible to switch to LOS directly, (with all of this working, if that's possible), or do I have to flash stock earlier firmware?

Also big thank you for working on this device!
[LG G8X ThinQ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] thqw0925:
THX, I try this way and it works well. BTW, I also try to flash the patched boot.img with hs9008 mode, and it works too.
[LG G8X ThinQ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] thqw0925:
Y

might have to unlock your bootloader first

although I haven't tried it, I think even you use the 9008 mode to load the lineage boot, the locked bootloader will still refuse to boot since it have no lg's official sign

so just follow the instruction on lineage os website
[LG G8X ThinQ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Vatharian:
I mean of course I'd need to unlock bootloader first...? I believe that's the requirement to boot non-signed kernel? I mean I haven't flashed anything since I had HTC M8, so 9 years or so. Reading there is no fastboot is kinda scary.
[LG G8X ThinQ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] thqw0925:
Yes, LG uses a download mode to replace fastboot mode, and the download mode can only load official firmware. It's kinda like Samsung's ODIN mode. But you can flash any file to any partitions since there is a usable 9008 tool. Before u flash it, remember to back up the LUNA5 partitions.

I am from India, and I am extremely disappointed with my LG G8X. Every single touch has a half-second delay before receiving a response. If I just turn on and off the data connection, it lags like a 10-year-old phone with a single core processor (SystemUI lags). And the battery drains without doing anything. This started with the Android 12 upgrade. The factory reset does nothing. I never use my phone on dual screens, thus I don't need it (since battery sucks after that).

What if I flash Lineage OS? The only things I want to work properly are wifi, volte (jio sim), and phone. I can manage the phone without dual screen and fingerprint unlock (because keeping thumb for 1 second to unlock irritates).

I erased everything and went back to Android 9. The fingerprint still do not work in Android 9 (and so did all malfunction the Wifi). Interestingly passing to Android 10 restored both (so I could input fingerprints and save them), it worked until Lineage OS symptom: finger is detected but not recognised.

You could also save your time and get used to having a fingerprint-less Lineage OS. :p

Does wireless charge work while HDMI out to a TV or glasses like the Nreal air?

I've been using my device daily with the glasses and the only downside it that the phone refuses to charge wirelessly when HDMI is out and I don't know why, but it works ok on other devices like Samsung.

@lifehackerhansol

I want to report some bugs & issues that I am facing.

1. Dual sim not working of course. Didn't check on 9.4.24 build though.

2. Network indicator is not appearing sometimes after system booting & after airplane mode.

3. Bluetooth audio is extremely glitchy, choppy & distorted. Even the default music player. Only few seconds or minutes of clear audio I'm able to listen, wired audio is fine. This magisk module - Audio jitter silencer can fix the problem, but the developer insists on a proper fix.

4. Using the rom since 4-5 days, twice it has happened that when a voice call was received no contact name was shown, only number was visible, after the call I went to call logs there the real name shows because it was already saved in contacts.

5. The lockscreen is very pickpocket friendly, all quicksettings toggles (like silent mode, internet) can be changed right from lockscreen without unlocking the phone.

I am available for testing & submitting logs. If you need help please let me know. I would also suggest others to help so that the rom can be stable for our dying phone. Especially for dual sim which is very important.
[LG G8X ThinQ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lifehackerhansol:
Your bootloader appears to be locked.

1. I could use some logs. I don't have a dual-SIM device. I do know this was an issue early on, but I guess the "fix" I added never really worked...?

2. Known issue, working on a fix. It's rather involved, and I blame LG for reinventing the wheel for the 100000000th time. I did get some progress, however; stay tuned.

3/4. I'll test and see what happens. BT is probably a me issue; maybe I'll take it out for some music listening tomorrow. I don't know about the contact name though.

5. This doesn't appear to be a device-specific issue; my Pixel 6a can do this as well, and it's on stock ROM. Complain to Google, I suppose.
[LG G8X ThinQ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] The.Night.King:
1. Can you dm me how do you need the logs? regular logcat, just after booting, etc.

3. The issue also gets fixed if I use SBC audio codec by disabling hd audio either in settings/connected devices/galaxy buds2 pro (Settings icon) or developer options/hd audio. It changes from aac to sbc, problem gets fixed but audio quality also becomes poor. The earbuds definitely support aac & g8x too. Similar issue was observed on op 6t using los 20.

4. I've faced similar issue on previous device when gapps was not installed, which I haven't installed now also. I've set "contacts" app battery usage to unrestricted, lets see.

5. Looks like it. Currently I'm using cerberus lock screen protector app from pstore. It can block both quicksettings & power menu from being exploited.
