Community Project: New Stock OS

[NonStickAtom785]

This project is for both LG Phoenix 4 users and all Aristo 2 users. Feel free to collaborate.

ABOUT:
This is a new idea that I had to make a universal Micro Stock OS. The OS's will be stripped down to the bare minimum to let both the Phoenix 4 and Aristo 2 users have a ROM with as much space and customization as possible. This is kind've like my AR-OS where I De-Odexed, De-Bloated, and Optimized the entire system. The only difference it will be build entirely upon the user.

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE:
Leave a post about what you were able to remove from the Pure Stock LG OS, without getting issues. (Make sure you backup your device before doing this though). When I see the input I will start updating this page to add more elements to it. When all is done and well, we will work on the customization part. Anyone who has suggestion on things such as "Stock Home Screen", you are welcome to post them in detail.

ADVANCED CONTRIBUTIONS:
For those of you who know how to modify the System OS a little better I will be needing help removing all of LG's Junk Licences and pulling just the Raw material from the OS or the building blocks for a GitHub page.

Thanks to everyone who will help!

Working on 2 new rooted Oreo ROMs

I wanted to let everyone know that I am currently working on 2 new rooted Oreo ROMs.
Both are based on the latest available LG firmware for the given phone.

#1 is a new ROM for the Aristo 2 (Metro by T-Mobile), based on firmware 20g.
#2 is a new ROM for the K8 plus (US Cellular), based on firmware 20c.

These ROMs both feature:

• Installation of the latest available TWRP, paired with LG's latest kernel to insure compatibility.
• Pre-rooting of the boot image using the latest available Magisk.
• Additional mods to the boot image to facillitate removal of LG's Root Checking Tool.
• Pre-installation removal of existing encrypted partitions and associated encryption keys.
• Removal of the possibility of encryption being forced on any user partitions via modification of multiple fstab files.
• Removal of LG's performance degrading Root Checking Tool and it's defined service.
• New modifications to the system image that are now required to successfully boot the altered system.
• Removal of unneeded vendor software that can be removed without issues, freeing up additional storage.
• Installation of useful root related utilities that add additional functionality to your phone.
• Preservation of existing user installed apps.
• Automatic alteration of system settings necessary for seamless functionality of the ROM when possible.
• Mods to the vendor image that reliably prevent android system updates from being forced to the phone. This is very necessary, as all LG system updates are now very destructive, resulting in bricking of the phone.

I am looking for anyone willing to test these new images.
Just reply to this post and I will PM you.
Thanks.

I have a lg phoenix 4 (LM-X210APM) from AT&T, but it is not updated because I'm from Venezuela, is there a method to force the updates of that phone?
