Tested the Greatness version with both available xml's but I found that EIS is not functional (even though both EIS & OIS are enabled in settings) and also couldn't get video recording to work on aux cameras. Sticking w/ GCam_7.3 Burial_release_beta_8 for now

Sorry for the redundancy, does this mean that there's a chance it might get fixed or that it's known & archived?

A few more app suggestions: Via Browser Very fast browser, clean UI, decently customizable. Has 2 very noteworthy features. 1) Back without reloading & 2) Use volume buttons to scroll. I found that both significantly speed up browsing. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mark.via.gp...

I second that, best gallery app by far, with tons of customization options.

Just a couple of Qs in case somebody has come across the same issues and has some advice a) Even though Google Pay is installed correctly, hiden from magisk and my credit card registered, the phone does nothing when it gets close to the pay terminal. Ive tried to move it around since the NFC...

I use a Polarcell 4150mAh battery and I've noticed a certain improvement in screen time, I get about 3h w/ 20% left. Could probably get a bit more with lighter use. https://www.amazon.es/Bater%C3%ADa-para-G4-H815-3150-mAh-PolarCell/dp/B01LZ2E2BZ

Battery drain here looks good, same as previous builds. Remember to wait for a couple of cycles after deleting cache.

Bought a 3150mAh battery (normal size) from Polarcell recently & I'm very happy w/ its performance (sry for the threadjacking)

Hhmm I just noticed that Gmail FCs like crazy. Anybody else noticed that? EDIT: Must of been an update that caused it, it ran okay a couple of days ago.

Hi steadfasterX I'd like to ask, assuring that it's by no means a request of any kind, a question regarding future updates for the G4. From any related info you may have had regarding Android Q, do you think that a Q-based LineageOS will be feasible for the G4? Thanks

Big thanks for all your hard work (plus a small donation to help keep the server up) :svetius:

After a regular clean flash, should we reflash gapps as well? (I guess not, but thought id ask just to be sure)

Did a full clean install just to start with a clean state and everything runs smoothly. Big thanks again!!

I can also confirm the issue w netflix mentioned earlier, hopefully it will get fixed in a future build. Other than that, latest release is simply awesome. Didn't even feel the need to root, the device runs great as it is. Thanks again for everything

btw, others might have different results, but in my case magisk seems to be working flawlessly. Have been using Adiutor for a couple of mild tweeks & Fluid NG for my gesture needs. Might have to root again after the update, but i really dont mind. The fact that the 4 year old G4 runs the way it...

really appreciate all your work, couldn't really imagine how the UI performance could be any better, so happy days indeed :laugh:

Hello and thanks for this amazing ROM, definitely one of the fastest n smoothest ones ever made for the G4. Just wanted to mention that the mobile network manual selection appears to be non functional. EDIT.: I cant upload a video capture for some reason right now, will do when possible. Let me...

Μάλιστα.. Magisk it is then I guess. Any idea whether safetynet fix alone would fix it or should I install MagiskHide Props Config & edit fingerprint too?

Hello & thanks for (another yet) great ROM. So I moved from aoscp to freedom mainly because of 24/96 audio but also because I wanted to be able to use NFC paying with my bank app and/or Google Pay. I read on the OP that this ROM passes safetynet if logcat is NOT disabled. Despite that, when I...

Thanks for the detailed explanation, it's good to know more about how things work.

Yeah, I thought so.. Dirty flashing system partition didn't seem a very good idea. Thanks!

Hello everybody. 1st of all big thanks to kessaras for this great ROM, really appreciate the time & effort you are putting on a 4-year old device. I'd like to go over the steps I followed to install the O version in case somebody that has been using it for some time can (& cares to) pinpoint...

Tried MGC_3.2.045_FINAL_3.2 on v29a with HDR+ parameters set to high and it works fine. I know see what all the fuss regarding HDR+ was about, results are awesome. DNG output is a huge plus btw.

Even though I almost exclusively shoot raw, this was a straight jpeg from ProShot that came out pretty nice. P mode, ISO 50, exp 0 (the frog actually posed for a while, but i could risk it jumping around hence no full manual mode for this one)

Big thanks to defcomg for your work on this, these are indeed great news. H815 here, unlocked (sold by Movistar, Spain). Tried the apk on both stock LP and MM (v10e and v20d respectively), with no luck (no 3 dots). The phone is not rooted. If there's any other apk version available, i'll gladly...

cesedy As you may have realised by going through the thread, the discussion involves both porting manual controls from V10 as well as reviews/opinions on 3rd party apps that may support these features without any bugs. That is not an issue for most of us since, at the end of the day, being able...

Camera 4k just posted an update for the G4! Only tested it briefly but it appears that manual ISO/shutter time works better than before. I seem to get some strange 'flash frames' on the test video that i did but overall there seems to be some improvement. This starts to look promising..

Just a quick update on Filmic Pro: I have installed and started using the app. The first impressions are pretty good. Control over ISO, shutter speed and framerate seems to be without bugs. I still have some issues with touch to focus though. It seems that I have to lock/unlock/lock focus to...

I completely agree. I have been coming back to this thread every couple of days since i got my G4 with the hope that someone would manage to get manual controls working. What really frustrates me is the fact that the hardware is more than capable (see V10) but as always LG spoiled all the fun. I...

Sorry in advance if this has been covered. I recently bought a G4 and ive been trying to understand why LG decided to provide with such a thick and ridig usb cable. Using the phone while charging is a pita because of the strain the cable puts on the usb port. Does anybody know wether there is...

Downloaded ProShot paid version and went for a refund 5min later.. It is very buggy indeed. I kinda figured out how to make manual ISO/shutter speed work, but I couldn't live with the fact that the video preview (right before hitting record) had nothing to do with the reality. It was actually...

I just sent an email to the developer mentioning this issue on Camera 4k (before I actually got to read this thread). I just bought an G4 on friday and I'm still looking into its features. Basically bought it because of the camera (silly fast lens f/1.8, relatively big sensor, OIS etc). Though...

Hmm this thread looks a lot like the notorious Optimus 2X ICS update one. Any old O2x owners here will def know what I'm talking about.. Point is though that LG already has updated the G2 twice (JB->KK->Lollipop) and as far as I know that's as far as they've ever gone on any of their flagships...

Thanks for this guide, after finally managing to short those capacitors, it brought my phone to life when other similar methods couldn't.

How did you finally managed to connect 'the dots'? I've trying since friday and still haven't managed to wake the phone up... I think I have shorted c5000 and c5004, even though i have to admit c5000 pins are quite 'buried' in the board so i cant be absolutely sure.

That's good to hear without doubt. Are you sure that the issues you had with your phone's mass memory partitions wasn't caused by the fact that you short circuited different pins/capacitors than the ones mentioned in the OP?

By looking at the photo (great detail btw thanks) and the diagram regarding the QHSUSB Mode, it seems that you are shorting different pins than the OP. The OP states that we should short C5000 (bottom right pins) with C5004 (the capacitor right above it = top right). You are proposing short...

Well, im pretty sure I managed to short the connections, have been trying with a very thin cable and a magnifying lense. The phone is completely inactive. No lights, signs of life in device manager or otherwise. EDIT: phone powers up if battery connector is attached and is connected to usb. So...

Yes I realise that. I followed the procedure exactly as it was mentioned in OP. I just mentioned that at some point I disconnected USB, attached the battery connection and reconnected USB. At that point the LG logo appeared and stuck there. I disconnected USB, dettached battery connector and...

If im not mistaken, having the phone off when connected to usb wasn't one of the conditions mentioned in OP. When connected to USB the phone was showing the LG logo and stuck there. I'm afraid that right now something else must be wrong with phone (no sign of life whatsover). Maybe I shorted...

Well... Wish i had better news to tell.. Never managed to get phone to black screen mode unfortunately. After many attemps, I disconnected the usb, attached battery connector and reconnected usb. Stuck in LG logo. Went back to disconnecting battery connector, connected USB and tried again...

Ok got the files extracted from the .kdz.. aboot_229376.bin, boot_262144.bin & laf_589824.bin. Shouldn't they be .img files instead of .bin? Sry for insisting plp, just wanna make sure I dont do any (irreversible this time) mistakes... :)

Wow, thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated!

Great, thanx for clarifying. Hmm now that I come to think of it... How do I extract the .img files from the firmware D80220C_00.kdz? Is there some guide I missed in this thread? (again thanx for all the help!)

Hold on.. Using my IMEI I get D80220C_00.kdz. The last ROM I had installed before attempting to flash 6TA/ITALY_OPEN_16G (whose procedure went up to 6% more or less) was D80220f-EUR-XX. From what I understand, it should be only one of them that should be used in this procedure. Keep in mind that...

Well I think that you are doing an excellent job as it is. You r right though, having a bit more formal troubleshooting procedure would definitely help. In my case, I did my best to explain the situation im in. Hopefully i didnt omit any crucial info on the way..

Thanx, u guys rock!

Just to make sure: You mean that the ROM that a) I should extract laf, boot, aboot and b) I should flash using the Flash Tool after entering download mode is the same and it is precisely the one that appears in http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=xxxxxxxx if I...

Hey there everyone, Im here for the same reason as everybody else I guess, reached the point that the phone is stuck at LG logo, no detection on Windows nor Ubuntu. I understand that this is most probably the only chance I have to get this phone back on, so I'd like to do the best in order not...

This has just happened to me!!! I emailed the OP urging him to edit this thread! FFS how is this even allowed on XDA????
