Custom ROMs for H990DS

[lucfig]

Hi guys,

Now that we have root in our H990DS, do you know if any custom ROMs is being developed or ported to our devices?
What are your expectations? Do you think any ROM is coming anytime soon?

I am particularly interested in AOSP based ROMs.

I too am waiting for a custom rom as it would make things a LOT easier BUT i dont think anybody is interested in making roms for H990ds version as not many know that it has been rooted and even if somebody wants to the H990ds model is extremely complicated with secondary hardware and what not. The best hope we have is to request @emdroidle as he was the one to achieve root and by now probably knows the phone in and out.

Personally i feel, being on stock is more advisable... camera and sound are important factors that made us to choose this phone, Especially,,,H990DS has more features like B&O play and no other versions has this feature enabled...May be it would take some time for this development...

I too like AOSP, Yes...may be we need to wait...

A custom kernel with this stock rom would also make this device great...lets wait...

I really hate the LG UI and I can't believe they are able to make this phone lag sometimes. Am a big fan of AOSP/Google UI.

I will surely miss the Quad DAC and camera features, but I am already using google camera most of the time anyways. And Idon't care about the second screen.

My thoughts exactly.

LineageOS 14.1 is being worked on the for the H990DS. It requires a few special hacks and tips to get working, and they're also working on a way to get second screen support going too. I suggest you follow that thread and express your interest in the H990DS builds to encourage more development. Its been in the works for months now. Only thing they're unsure about is the DAC support as that uses proprietary code and they don't know where it is.

You haven't heard of D.O.T.S? Or the mk2000 kernel?

have you tried superv20, it's not really a "custom rom" but a customisation of an official rom for a "better user experience".

Im currently using SuperV20 with the pixel launcher as the stock launcher on my H990DS, its a really good rom, all lag from the stock lg rom is gone and its really snappy

Hey, can you in brief share the steps you used to go from stock to SuperV20? That would be really helpful.
From what I understand, 1)Downgrade to 2016 firmware to root using dirtysanta and twrp with it.
2) Flash Super V20 using twrp.
Is that right?

Yeah, I want to know the steps you took as well. Also, what exactly is the SuperV20 ROM? Is it just something that looks like LG's UI and makes it faster, or is it a completely new UI? Also, does it have the capability of using the V20's second screen and quad DAC? Send screenshots of the UI if you can. Thanks!

Super V20 is just a debloated stock based rom so DAC and second screen should be working

Ok thanks! Now I just need to unlock bootloader of my H990DS, install twrp and flash the ROM.

lg v20 918DS

Is the rom and method also applicable for the 918DS ?

I'm planning to buy it, but have not found yet an option for root.

Thanks for for advice
