Android 8.0 Oreo for LG G4

[unfratrix]

When will Android 8.0 Oreo come out for the LG G4? We are waiting for RR or Crdroid or LineageOS. I looked at the LG G3 forum and they have already Android 8.0! When will this come out for is, the G4 users?
Can't wait, thanks already!

It's never going to happen
Officially so unless you have an unlocked bootloader it's not going to happen for even a custom ROM version and even Android7 Nougat might not come for the international version though it should but there's no signs of it yet and the 2-year update schedule has ended.

No, I didn't expect an official update from LG, but now I am on the H-ROM V30 (7.1.2). I really hope that there will be an RR or Crdroid or any LineageOS (based) custom ROM with Android 8.0. Do any of you guys know if somebody already began developing Android 8.0 for us? Cause on LG G3 is already Crdroid 8.0!

Check the AOSCP thread - they've got Oreo running on the LG G4, albeit with some bugs

I'd rather say minor bugs it's very stable for a "first shot" !

What are your personal experiences of the AOSCP Oreo ROM? What bugs do they have? I'm asking because I want to immediately jump to said ROM but I want to be able to use the camera for video and still shots, and use Portable Hotspot, but I cannot use said ROM if either of those features are broken.

The camera for pictures works but with not so good quality. For video I don't know. The wifi tethering is not working but USB and BT are. Sometimes when you boot the phone the SIM card is not recognized but with the latest version of the build it seems to be corrected.
Hope this helps !

Hmm, I see - I hate to ask this, but could you briefly take a video recording with the camera and report back in writing please. Thanks.

Here you go. Obviously unofficial with bugs etc but OREO!!!!
Screenshots haven't been updated for Oreo but it's there. I'm downloading and will test tomorrow so if you want I can see how it performs.

Thank you,please let us know

From my experience with the 20180105 version of the ROM:

What works:
- RIL - calls and mobile data works (but sometimes, SIM detection fails to work - reboot the phone to get RIL working again)
- Camera - stills and video
- Wifi
- All apps

What is buggy:
- Bluetooth audio (distorted audio)
- RIL - see above

What doesn't work:
- Survival scripts - meaning if you are going to update your ROM, all System partition changes you have made will be deleted, including GApps
- Portable Hotspot.

Update for those still on this thread: Most stuff works now. Go ahead, it's actually quite stable. Running the 14/1 build on my G4

Sorry for the threadjack. I've been out of touch with Android and LG the past year or so (I defected to Apple, but came running back to Android)

What do you mean by LG nerfed the processing power? Did they (LG) deactivate cores in the kernel or something? Can you link to a thread I can read more please, or when did this happen so I can go back through the archives. Thanks!
