[H811][N]Freedom Rom v7.5

[TecknoFreak]

######################################
This is NOT the Freedom OS that became known with the OP3/3T devices
recently. This is pure stock LG plus some alternative Google apps. It's
name comes from the fact that the installer will give you full access to
choose what you want to flash to your device !

its absolutely crucial to have the latest TWRP BETA release or the latest beta from my Android File Host

• Download the latest build

• Install the Rom using adb sideload or If you downloaded it directly in your phone, just install it by tapping the Install in TWRP and navigate-select the rom.

• Reboot.
• You will have to wait a few minutes. On 1st boot it will cache all the apps.

One more just in case

 

[seetru]

install went well, no bloat and fast - I remember you from g stylo days

VoLTE and Wifi calling work I presume?

VoLTE and wifi calling are not supported in any N Rom Stock based or not.

VoLTE and wifi calling are not supported in any N Rom Stock based or not.

It is supported on my G6 port but you need to do an entire modification from hidden menu. Not worth me trying to write a tutorial guide on how to do it as is been so long working on that Rom I gave up making a flashable zip to fix it but no success that way. On my back up still work though

Thank you for all the hard work on this ROM. Quick question.

Phone works great but it information section about the phone it says Baseband Unknown. Phone works but anyway to fix this to show correct baseband version ?

no unless LG releases N to the US. dont worry we all have unknown

Thank you. I think i found a bug unless i'm not aware of it.

This rom won't recognize sdcard. Its asking to format it which i don't want to do, have lots of data on it. It won't recognize it (it works fine on 6.0 rom) unless it's formated. Any suggestions?

 

[stewie-droid]

Also question

I think i see the answer. Base is v30b so it's based on lg g4 libs, not G6. I got confused with all this porting lingo. I'm hoping it's not G6 libs. I would want pure G4 code.

This has been happening off and on after upgrading Android for some time. It appears to be fairly common (universal?) when upgrading to Nougat. I don't think it's a characteristic of this ROM.

You need to copy the data from the sd card to a pc via a card reader, format the card in the phone, and copy the data back.

Thank you for your work on this. I have decided to keep my (LG repaired) G4 H811 for a while longer because nothing "better" seems worth the investment at the moment.

I have a couple of minor suggestions:

1) Let people know in the op that they need to flash GAPPS.

2) Warn them that it is very possible their SD will not be readable on first boot.

3) On my install, after Aroma had finished with the ROM it asked me if I wanted to install Busybox. I said, "Yes," but the "extraction" phase got stuck at 30% for some time before I removed the battery. Then the phone started with the upgraded OS uneventfully.

Ultimately I could not use this ROM on an unmodified T-Mobile H811, nor could I use any of the developer's variations on a H811 nougat port: the sd card problems persisted off and on and all of the ROMs had problems with 4G LTE data in New York City. Too bad.

Fortunately, for those who may be wondering it is possible to downgrade back to stock LG marshmallow. I would use the latest carrier version, which as of Nov 2017 is 20v. Flashable versions of it are available on XDA.

Ok i've been daily using this rom and besides things mentioned things are working ok.

Pros:
This stock rom is 2 times more smooth then 6.0. I'm assuming it's due to not having so much skin over android build which i love fluidity btw.
MM stock 6.0 was so sluggish. I love pure vanilla andoid experience but can't run those as need stock roms for most part and this one is stock and fluid like N roms.
Also available memory and it's management is way better as it has 700-400mb of more free ram then MM 6.0 stock. I run same apps.
Battery usage is also minimal while asleep, flat line, same as in LineageOS with interactive kernel. I use kernel-auditor-mod apk

Question regarding busy box. It seems it has custom busybox installed 1.26.2-osmOsis. Should this busy box be left alone as it helps in some custom features/settings or can it be updated if one has latest busybox. Don't wanna screw up fluidity of this rom so asking. Not sure if this custom busybox does something custom?

Issues:
No WiFi Calling - needs to be switched off in settings
No Volte - needs to be switched off in settings. It's on be default
Tethering currently not working - never use it as my plan is limited
Sd card recognition fails with sd card corrupted - didn't bother to fix it be format yet
Microphone Block app if anyone is using it it currently will block mic of phone conversations of this rom phone.apk so don't use it. Not a big deal but i thought i would mention it to help ppl out if some ppl are using it for privacy.

This wasn't an issue on MM nor on Nougat LineageOS so this is issue that either needs to be resolve by developer of that app or maybe within this rom excluding this app Microphone Block by BytePioneers from blocking phone.apk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bettertomorrowapps.microphoneblockfree&hl=en

Seems like there is no traction with this rom as very limited posts i see here. Hope it won't die out as this is best rom sine LP 5.1 release. MM 6.0 was a flop IMO, kinda like windows Vista between release lol

 

[shri_chanakya]

downloading this. will flash it later today and report back if there are any issues apart from one in OP.

Thanks OP for getting stockish ROM for H811 with TMobile dropping the ball on us.

 

[shri_chanakya]

so far so good. haven't run into any issues so far.

The problem with all those issues is that this a modified Rom from other countries like Korea and or International variants where any of those features sadly dont work. Is a been a pain in the butt to port such features.

 

[seetru]

Has anyone tried the Titan kernel on this rom?

 

[thejaredhuang]

@TecknoFreak 20x came out for the H811, any plans to update v4 to it?
