Huh I never had that happen. But I never flashed AO after crDroid and then installed Auto_Debloat. Maybe it be best to root again flash the stock KDZ all files then flash Auto_Debloat? That would bring you back to stock and then you would have a fresh install.

It's not really much of a prob... Are you using any gcam mod? If yes what version and app?

New Auto_Debloat 9.14 & 8.14
Added a 341MB swap file to /cache/swapfile
This is something I wanted to do for a long time but I did not know where to put it at. The cache directory is the best place for it. Flashing the Speed Mod will remove the swap file. If that happens just flash Auto_Debloat again.

On v9.14 & v8.14 You may want to do a format data & reinstall of Oreo And Auto_Debloat. My phone is running faster, sound is great, I am getting close to the final version, this may be it.

Enjoy.

After reinstalling Oreo numerous times, I finally got it this time with v9.14 & v8.14, It was not running good, only when I added a swapfile of 341MB the phone took off and is running great. You need to do a format data and reinstall of Oreo And Auto_Debloat to take advantage of this new Stability and Sound Improvement.

I'm liking v8.16 on my Verizon V20. I think the addition of the 512MB cache has greatly improved smoothness and responsiveness for me. Before this version I was experiencing lag is some apps/games and now things seem much smoother overall. To be clear, this is caching to storage not RAM (zram)?

That is correct just a good old fashion swap file on the eMMC drive. It uses no CPU power to run unlike Zram. Glad you see an improvement.

Okay, Does your finger print scanner work? If so you don't need the modem driver it was already included in the Oreo Rom.

As for the gps.conf I see you were from France so I made a gps.conf just for you :). I would use a program like MiXplorer it's a free root file manager. Just download the latest version I think it's v6.58.4. Just copy and past gps.conf into /system/vendor/etc/

Your GPS should still work it's just that if you have the correct one it should connect faster to the GPS.


Your EFS file is the dump you made before you rooted your phone. If your getting cell signal then you may not have to restore the EFS on the H990DS. I have never rooted that Model of phone before. I know the H910 you have to restore the EFS because it get's corrupted when you root the phone. I think it's because we have to flash the H915 rom to root the H910.

    STANDARD DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damages caused to your phone. Use Audo_Debloat and or FAQ & Troubleshooting guide at your own risk there is no warranty or guarantee.


    Lemon_Drop.jpg



    Auto_Debloat is a twrp flashable file I created, it's very unique in that you flash in twrp after you have already flashed Stock Oreo v8.0, kernel, magisk ect. This will transform Stock Oreo 8.0 into The Lemon Drop Rom. Auto_Debloat mods the build.prop file and updates the GPU drivers & tweaks. You will need to install apps like the alarm clock and weather. Most all LG apps are still there and some Google apps, like Chrome and the Play Store. You can always DeGoogle if that's what you want or keep Google Play store installed. The idea is to customize Lemon Drop to fit your needs.


    Please read Questions on the second post before rooting your Lgv20 or installing Auto_Debloat.

    New v9.39 & v8.39
    Updated to speed mod v5.15 trying to save a little bit of battery life without sacrificing speed. Also fixed some apps crashing.

    New v9.38 & v8.38
    Added some Zram tweaks.

    New v9.37 & v8.37
    I got Zram fixed. I was able to have 22 apps open at the same time and Android did not close the apps on me. I was using 1.8 gig's of Zram when doing that. Because Zram was never working before it will take like 1 second sometimes to open an app that's because it's in compressed ram and the phone needs to uncompress it on the fly. So just an fyi. The Zram size is 2304MB with a mem_limit of 768MB. But this will save loading from the eMMC drive because we are loading the apps from Zram once you have opened the app. Oh yeah and swapfile is disabled. Enjoy everyone.

    New v9.36 & v8.36
    Also Changed zram disk size to the optimal size of 2304MB I did the math and this is the best size of zram for this phone. Swapfile is disabled.

    New v9.35 & v8.35
    Removed the swapfile as it may slow the phone down. Increased the size of the Zram.
    Enable 768MB Zram mem_limit and disksize of 3840MB

    New v9.34 & v8.34
    Fixed an issue with the swapfile priority

    New v9.33 & v8.33
    Changed Zram to 768MB Added swapfile 1024MB
    Fixed issue with sluggish ui
    I set the priority of Zram to high and the swapfile to low so the phone will use Zram first then once it's filled up the phone will start using the swapfile. This should give us a lot more ram for multitasking.


    New v9.32 & v8.32
    Added a 1.5Gig Zram with lz4 compression. Removed Swapfile.

    Well I did a lot of research and trial and error, and have concluded that we need to give zram a try. I have came up with a custom zram that's 1.5Gig's. This phone is lacking ram. I wish we had 6 gig's or 8gig's. But we have 4gig's and most of that is used by the OS. So the only way to increase the ram on the phone is with zram. The next version will have my own custom zram config that's 1.5gig's. I got it done already. I guess I always thought that zram would slow my phone down, but I have tweaked this version to make it fast. I have to say I am impressed with the results.

    New v9.31 & v8.31
    Changed swapfile size to 256MB
    Found the optimal swapfile size it's 256MB. That will reduce writes on the eMMC drive and still allow you to open a number of apps at the same time without having android kill them. The tweak from last version helps a lot also by freeing up extra ram.

    New v9.30 & v8.30
    Free up extra ram by reset zram0 and zram1
    Lemon Drop is still using a swapfile

    New v9.29 & v8.29
    Added Speed mod v5.14 change micro sdcard disk scheduler to noop. Might speed up sdcard a little bit.

    New v9.28 & v8.28
    Added the Lemon Drop Boot logo. I think the phone may boot a little bit faster because there is no animation to load.

    New v9.27 & v8.27
    Added Speed mod v5.13 fixed image retention issue.

    New v9.26 & v8.26
    Added Speed mod v5.12 some tweaks a little faster and may improve battery life.

    New v9.25 & v8.25
    Tweaked the 1024MB Swapfile

    New v9.24 & v8.24
    Added Internet Speed Tweak
    I tweaked "/system/vendor/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant_overlay.conf" and the wifi is a lot faster now.

    New v9.23 & v8.23
    Added Camera improvement tweak. This will make the photos you take crisp, clear and sharp.

    New v9.22 & v8.22
    Fixed bug if system is mounted as read-only. If so then Auto_Debloat would not install. Some other small bug fixes.

    New v9.21 & v8.21
    Added speed mod v5.11. This should speed up the phone a little bit more. Should also save battery life. I tweaked the sched_upmigrate and sched_downmigrate. The up is set to 95% and down is set to 90%. So if a task is using more that 95% of cpu it will go the big cpu and vice versa.

    New v9.20 & v8.20
    Increased the swapfile to 1024MB & some fixes. No Zram only a swapfile.

    New v9.19 & v8.19
    Added Speed Mod v5.10 Tweaked Entropy speed tweak a little bit more.

    New v9.18 & v8.18
    Added Speed mod v5.9 Added an entropy speed tweak. Should speed up the phone and help with lag.

    New v9.17 & v8.17
    New Name for the Rom: Lemon_Drop
    Added name to Android Version 8.0.0_Lemon_Drop

    Just if you were wondering it's the Lemon Drop Candies not the drink. They were always my fav as a kid.

    New v9.16 & v8.16
    Added United States GPS Fix
    To: /system/vendor/etc/gps.conf

    New v9.15 & v8.15
    Changed the swap file to 512MB, It's more like 488MB but it should be plenty.

    New v9.14 & v8.14
    Added a 341MB swap file to /cache/swapfile
    This is something I wanted to do for a long time but I did not know where to put it at. The cache directory is the best place for it. Flashing the Speed Mod will remove the swap file. If that happens just flash Auto_Debloat again.

    On v9.14 & v8.14
    You may want to do a format data & reinstall of Oreo And Auto_Debloat. My phone is running faster, sound is great, I am getting close to the final version, this may be it.

    New v9.13 & v8.13
    Added AdAway default blocklist to /system/etc/hosts

    New v9.12 & v8.12
    Added a cool Droid startup animation no sound.

    New v9.10 & v8.10
    Updated speed mod to v5.8, a lot faster now. I think this is the max speed I can get out of the Lgv20.

    New v9.9 & 8.9
    It's even faster than v8.9 & v8.8. I found OTA file that is needed by the phone to do updates. I deleted that. And also I downgraded Magisk from v23.0 to v21.4 in v9.9. I think for now we should just stay on Magisk v21.4 it seems to work the best with Oreo. Only thing is you need to do another full reinstall again, for this new version. I am getting close to being done with Auto_Debloat.

    New v9.8 & v8.8
    Formatted the RCT and FOTA devices. Before I was just wiping them. Now there is no way the phone can download FOTA updates. Not in less Android knows how to read a NTFS file system. I think this new version has improved the speed of the phone a lot. Full reinstall is required for this version. Also found out how to unmount all the partitions after Auto_Debloat is done.


    New v9.7 & v8.7
    Updated to Speed mod v5.7 some other fixes. Enjoy.
    I think this is it for awhile. I just keep finding thing to tweak. I am having fun.


    New Stable versions of Auto_Debloat

    v9.6 & v8.6
    Updated the speed mod to v5.6

    v9.5.1 & v8.5.1
    I spent a lot of time changing the Auto_Debloat install script to get a perfect install of Stock Oreo Debloated. The trick is to un-mount all partitions after Auto_Debloat is done and before you reboot from TWRP into system. It's recommended to do a full reinstall with this version. Lot's of changes to the install script. Also Updated twrp to twrp-3.6.2_9-0-h910.

    v9.2.2 & v8.2.2
    Sable Branch version also. Has no add-on mods installed. It's recommended to do a full reinstall with this version. Lot's of changes to the install script. Un-mount all partitions after Auto_Debloat is done and before you reboot from TWRP into system.


    v9.4 &v 8.4
    Updated the Speed mod from v5.4 to v5.5. Moved Auto_Debloat_log to /system and moved build.prop.stock to /system.
    Also there was an issue with Auto_Debloat v9.3 & v8.3 where it was not backing up the original build.prop file. Also my phone was getting hot with v9.3 & 8.3 IDK why? But this new version phone seems to be running a lot cooler.
    This version there is some other changes I made to improve the install of Stock Oreo. I would recommend doing a full reinstall with this version, if anything to get your stock build.prop file backed up.


    v9.3 & v8.3
    I wanted to Include some of my Add-on Mods in Auto_Debloat.

    What's included is in v9.3
    24_BIT_Deep_Buffers_Enabler_v4.1_Lgv20_Oreo
    DAC_Enabler+LGMusic_v1.3
    Speed_Mod_Lgv20_msm8996_Oreo_v5.4
    Thermal_Engine_Mod_v7.0_70c
    System wide Quad DAC support. V6.2 in build.prop file

    What's included in v8.3
    24_BIT_Deep_Buffers_Enabler_v4.1_Lgv20_Oreo
    Speed_Mod_Lgv20_msm8996_Oreo_v5.4
    Thermal_Engine_Mod_v7.0_70c
    System wide Quad DAC support. V6.2 in build.prop file

    You can always just flash the version of the mod you want. Theses are just what's included.

    You can update if you want, it's always best to do a full reinstall. Update instructions are down below.


    v9.2 & v8.2
    I was having an issue with my sdcard, my files were getting corrupted. I think I fixed the issue with v9.2 and v8.2. You can update if you want, it's always best to do a full reinstall. Update instructions are down below.

    I think it had something to do with Oreo wanting to encrypt the sd card. But it's a issue I have been dealing with for a long time. Let's hope I got it this time. Always backup your sdcard just in case.


    v9.1 & v8.1
    This version is 95% Vanilla Stock Oreo Debloated to the max. Same for v9.2 & 8.2. This version there is a bug that may corrupt your sd card. Best use v9.2 or 8.2 if you want a Vanilla Stock Oreo Debloated.

You can use an app like package manager to debloat the rest of the apps on your phone. Auto_Debloat was designed with the H910 in mind. It was ported over to most Lgv20 phones.

    FAQ & Troubleshooting guide

    Updated on 01-19-23



    Questions (please read first before rooting, or installing Auto_Debloat)



    What's the #1 Rule I should know before I root my Lgv20?
    Very crucial before you flash the KDZ to root your phone, make a DUMP with LGUP all files, you don't need to dump system or cache. Put it in a very safe place, like google drive. It will have your EFS and your EFS has the IMEI number of that particular phone. If your EFS ever becomes corrupted then you can re-flash your EFS from your backup to get cell signal working again.


    Can I just edit step3.bat and install the Latest twrp in there?
    No. You need the old version of twrp to format data, then you can update twrp to the latest version. You only need to remove the encryption on the data partition once, when rooting your phone. The old version of twrp is the only version I know of, that can remove the encryption on the data partition.


    My camera does not work after Auto_Debloat?
    When flashing crDroid or LIneageOS it can mess with the camera, if your flashing Stock Oreo rom afterwords. You will need to flash all files of the stock KDZ again and root your phone.


    After installing Auto_Debloat the boot warning message is all messed up?
    Yeah that's normal. It happens when you install Stock Oreo. Your phone will boot like it normally would.


    What is EFS in Android?
    "EFS stands for Encrypting File System, which is really important part of networking and communication for Android Smartphones, It also contains your device IMEI data."


    What is the MSM8996?
    It's just the technical term for the Lgv20's Motherboard.


    Can all Lgv20 phones be rooted?
    Most but not all.
    How to check to see if you can root, lgv20 Anti-Rollback Version ARB


    Can my LS997 phone be rooted?
    As far as I know there is no Oreo Stock rom for the LS997, so Auto_Debloat will not work on that model of phone. But you may be able to install Lineage OS depending on your firmware. Check your ARB.

    Sprint LG V20 Model (LS997): Comprehensive Overview of Guides and Resources (and why most LS997 phones are unrootable)


    Go back to the top post and follow the install guide for your phone.


    End of questions.



    Is there a guide I can root my Lgv20 with Dirtysanta?



    Yes, this is how I rooted my H910 and installed Auto_Debloat v9.x.

    Basically I rooted my H910 again, formatted data, updated twrp and then flashed Auto_Debloat.

    1. Disable real time scanning, on the windows virus scanner. Download all the files, save terminal emulator to your microsd card the other two save on your computer, unzip dirtysanta, install usb drivers if using windows. Root your H910 with this guide.

    h910_root_pkg.zip "DirtySanta root package"
    usb drivers for windows
    Terminal Emulator for Android "f-droid Download APK at bottom of page"

    2. [ROOT] HOWTO: AT&T H910 up to v20g (FULLY TESTED) Note: before you flash the KDZ to downgrade your firmware make a DUMP backup with LGUP all files. You don't need to DUMP system or cache. It will have your EFS.

    3. On step3.bat wait for phone to reboot from fastboot mode, when you see the LG logo, pull the battery. Do a factory reset and that will load TWRP How to factory reset the Lgv20.

    4. Then format data. Very important, you format data with the older version of twrp that is with dirtysanta.

    5. Then power off phone.

    Note: This next part is for the H910, you need to get your version of twrp for your model of Lgv20. Latest version of twrp link at the bottom of page

    6. Download twrp for the H910 twrp-3.7.0_9-0-h910.img

    7. With the phone off hold vol down plug USB into phone and computer.
    type on your computer:
    fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.7.0_9-0-h910.img
    fastbboot reboot
    take battery out
    put back in
    go into twrp by doing a factory reset. How to factory reset the Lgv20

    8. Then you want to format data once more with the new version of twrp.

    9. power off phone

    10. Now would be a good time to reinstall your EFS. Just scroll down tell you see Manually reinstall your EFS on the Lgv20.



    Troubleshooting guide for Dirtysanta


    Getting an error on step1.bat "dirtysanta no such file or directory"?
    Just disable real time scanning in windows defender, and try again. You will have to unzip the files again as windows defender will eat up dirtysanta. Dirtysanta was created by the Lgv20 community at XDA, it's not a virus.


    I am stuck in fastboot mode on step3.bat, I get an error?
    You most likely have a driver issue in windows. Just stay in fastboot mode fix your windows drivers and run step3.bat again.
    [GUIDE] V20 Fastboot access in Windows.


    Getting Secure Start up when booting?
    Secure start-up issue. If your getting this screen do not try and type in a password. After 30 attempts it will brick your phone. What's going on is your data partition is still encrypted. You need to do a format in twrp on the data partition. Some versions of twrp will not remove the encryption correct for the Lgv20. I know the twrp version that is with dirtysanta will remove the encryption from the data partition. Then you can just update twrp again, you only need to format once.


    Stuck at boot screen after flashing Nougat rom to root?
    After flashing the rom to downgrade your firmware to root, if your stuck at the boot screen. Factory reset that should fix the issue.


    When flashing the stock KDZ to root my Lgv20, I cant skip setup?
    Be sure to sign out of Google first and then take your sim card out, that should allow you to skip the google setup.


    Manually reinstall your EFS on the Lgv20.
    You need to find your Original DUMP of the rom your Lgv20 phone was on, before you downgraded your firmware for rooting.
    Note: COM6 is what ever com port you were using at the time.

    With the phone powered off, hold the down vol and plug in usb to computer.

    fastboot flash fsg fsg_COM6 fastboot flash misc misc_COM6 fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1_COM6 fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2_COM6 fastboot reboot

    Note: If you just rooted your phone, take battery out after you type fastboot reboot. Because you do not have an os installed yet, the phone will not boot. Go back to the top post and follow the install guide for your phone.


    What options do you recommend for a twrp backup?
    Your sdcard need's to be formatted in exfat.

    Boot
    Recovery
    System Image
    data (excl. storage)
    EFS
    Firmware
    LAF/Download Mode


    What about a twrp restore?
    You should factory reset, then restore only if you were already had Lemon Drop installed.

    You only need to flash.

    Boot
    System Image
    Data


    End of dirtysanta guide.



    I want to DeGoogle after Auto_Debloat, can I do that?



    yes you can, I will show you how to install microG witch is an alternative to Google Play Services, with out all the bloatware.

    It's best if you do a fresh install of Auto_Debloat. Make sure you have Magisk working. No need to do any updates. Your phone is going to get hot doing all this, it's best to take a break now and then and let your phone rest and cool down.

    1. First thing you want to do is Open up Contacts and backup all your contacts to the SIM Card. Only do this once, I am not sure what happens if you do it twice. It may duplicate all your contact.

    2. Choose Manage contacts, copy, From your email address to your SIM card.

    3. Now would be a good time to download all your paid apps, Your not going to be able to once we remove google. Make sure you open each of them to make sure they work. You can still download the free apps from Aurora Store (aka Play Store).

    4. Then you want to remove your google account in settings, accounts. Un-Check Auto-sync Accounts.

    5. Then reboot into twrp. Mount system & data, make sure read only is not checked. Open file manager and delete the following folders.

    /system/priv-app/GmsCore
    /system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework
    /system/priv-app/Phonesky
    /data/app/com.android.googlequicksearchbox (then some letters and numbers) May not be there.
    /data/app/com.android.vending (then some letters and numbers) May not be there.
    /data/app/com.google.android.gms (then some letters and numbers) May not be there.

    6. Then restart phone into system, Close all the errors.

    7. Then power off the phone.

    8. Download the three files.

    NanoDroid-microG-23.1.2.20210117.zip
    NanoDroid-patcher-23.1.2.20210117.zip
    NanoDroid-fdroid-23.1.2.20210117.zip

    NanoDroid Main Page


    9. Put them on your sdcard.

    Note: Now would be a good time to let your phone cool down.

    10. Boot into twrp.

    11. Install NanoDroid-patcher

    Note: this takes like 10 min, so make your self a cup of coffee or tea.

    12. Install NanoDroid-microG

    13. Install NanoDroid-Fdroid

    14. Wipe Dalvik cache

    Note: Now would be a good time to let your phone cool down.

    15. Reboot into system.

    16. Open F-droid, update.

    17. Update to the latest version of aurora store from f-droid

    18. Open up Aurora Services and click on Whitelist check mark Aurora Store.

    19. Open Auroa store choose anonymous. Just choose the default settings for install.

    20. Give microG all the permissions it wants. Open microG and enable Google Device Registration. Then restart your phone. After your phone restarts, wait 1 min, open microG and check mark Cloud Messaging and the Location Modules.

    All done, your phone is now DeGoogled.


    Troubleshooting guide for DeGoogle


    Push Notifications not working?
    They do work, it just takes a little tweaking to get them working. Clear all data on microG. Give it all the permissions it wants. Open microG and enable Google Device Registration. Click back, wait for 30 sec then restart your phone. Open microG wait about 1 min it should be registered. Now enable Cloud Messaging and Location Modules so your network gps will work. You may also have to uninstall and reinstall your apps that use Push Notifications to have microG see them.


    Under Self Check Play Store Phonesky Has correct Signature, is not checked.
    First disable Chrome and then download Chromium from F-Droid for a Web Browser, or what ever Web Browser you like.

    Download Termux or another terminal app and type:

    su
    pm grant com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE

    Or use adb

    adb shell pm grant com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE

    Update Google WebView to the Latest version and then close all apps, restart your phone. Or your push notifications may not work.

    Phonesky should now be checked.


    Network Location not working with microG DeGoogled phone?
    You have to install Apple UnifiedNlp backend from f-droid and enable it in microG under location modules. Or just do a search for microG you will find it.

    You may also need to just enable Apple WI-FI and disable Deja Vu Location Serivce.


    Is there a free and OpenSource GPS application?
    yes

    Organic Maps


    The TTS Voice is not working in Organic Maps
    You need to download the free open source TTS voices.

    RHVoice

    Install them and go to android settings and search for speech. Enable RHVoice. You can also install Speech Services by Google.


    Can I remove WebView and Replace it with bromite webview?
    Yes
    There is a magisk module you can download and install.

    Note: most apps from Google Play store will not work with Bromite WebView.

    [MAGISK] [MODULE] Webview Manager

    Once you have installed the Magisk module and phone has restarted. Go into Developer options and click on WebView Implementation. Choose Bromite System WebView.



    I want to have Speech to text on AnySoft Keyboard.
    Because we removed google we have no speech to text. But there is an open source little app you can download to get it back. It's not as accurate as google, but it does work, sometimes. Open app give it permission for your mic, then click back restart your phone. Should be working then.

    LocalSTT Github

    LocalSTT-en-us.apk


    Or you can just install Google Keyboard, it has speech to text built into the keyboard.


    End of DeGoogle Guide.



    How do I install EdXposed on Oreo?



    It's a little tricky but I was able to do it. You need some files first.

    Download the following. All files are from GitHub.

    EdXposedManager-4.6.2-46200-org.meowcat.edxposed.manager-release.apk
    EdXposed-v0.5.2.2_4683-master-release.zip
    riru-v25.4.4-release.zip

    Using Magisk Install the following in this order.

    1. riru-v25.4.4-release.zip
    2. EdXposed-v0.5.2.2_4683-master-release.zip

    Reboot

    3. Install EdXposedManager-4.6.2-46200-org.meowcat.edxposed.manager-release.apk

    EdXposed should now be installed on Oreo.

    Note: don't update Riru. You need the older version for EdXposed.

    The xposed module repository is not longer working. Some modules you can try.

    Gravitybox
    Greenify

    Help I updated to Magisk 25.2 now Magisk will not load?
    This is a problem with the app not Magisk it's self. You have an option to update the app to the latest working version for Oreo or downgrade to the original version. Just uninstall Magisk and install one of the following.

    Magisk-v24.3.apk

    Or flash the original version

    Magisk-v22.1.apk

    Flashing crDroid or LOS it will mess with the camera, if your flashing Stock Oreo rom afterwords. You will need to flash all files of the stock KDZ again and root your phone again.

    Frequently Asked Questions




    How can I save battery power on the H910 & all phones?
    You can turn off AT&T Auto Connect under WIFI. Then under NFC Disable Tag Reading. Also you can download Force_Doze_Mode, this is for all phones.

    Force Doze Mode Force your phone into doze mode to save battery. (root only) With Google or without, like LineageOS or a DeGoogled phone.

    Also one of my favorite programs for all phones

    SuperFreezZ "making it possible to entirely freeze all background activities of any app."


    Also if you want to save your battery from wear you can use BatteryBot Pro. You can set an alarm when charged is reached and you can see your battery level on the second screen with the screen off.

    Can I see some benchmarks for Auto_Debloat v9.67 & v8.67?
    I have an H910 so I can show you benchmarks from Auto_Debloat v9.66 DeGoogled Oreo v20g. I am still using the LG OEM 2018 battery, so a new battery may show better performance.

    What options do you recommend for a twrp backup?
    Your sdcard need's to be formatted in exfat.

    Boot
    Recovery
    System Image
    data (excl. storage)
    EFS
    Firmware
    LAF/Download Mode


    What about a twrp restore?
    You should factory reset, then restore only if you were already had Lemon Drop installed.

    You only need to flash.

    Boot
    System Image
    Data


    How do I format my sdcard for the Lgv20 & copy over my data?
    Note: Formatting will delete all you data on your microsd card. So you may want to make a backup first before formatting.

    I have found that it is best to format the sdcard in twrp.
    Click on Wipe
    Click Advanced Wipe
    Check Mark Micro SD card
    Click repair or Change file System
    Click Change File System
    Click on exFAT
    Swipe to format

    It's best to just Mount the Usb Storage in TWRP to copy over your data to you micro sd card. I was having issues with my sdcard reader in my laptop. I think it was corrupting the files on the sd card. This way you don't ever have to take your card out of your phone.


    What is the differences between Auto_Debloat 9.x & Auto_Debloat 8.x?
    Not much they are almost identical. Auto_Debloat 9.x has the H910 boot.img, twrp and modem drivers. Auto_Debloat 8.x does not have the boot.img, twrp or modem drivers, so it can be used on most Lgv20 phones, running Stock Oreo 8.0.


    Can I use my Unlocked Lgv20 on another carrier, after Auto_Debloat?
    You will need to make sure your APN is setup. Access Point Names, Go to settings, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names. If you do not see your carrier there you need to manually type it in. Do a google search to find your APN carrier settings. Other than that you will need to find out if the Lgv20 model phone you have is compatible with the carrier you are using it on. You may also need to call your cell provider and have them enable LTE or give them your IMEI number.


    What does Auto_Debloat change on the Lgv20?
    It removes a lot of bloatware on Stock Oreo, disabled all logging on the phone. Disabled MLT/LDB that slows your phone down. Removed LG Root Checker tool. Disabled all FOTA updates, when your phone is rooted FOTA updates will break your phone. Oh and there is my very own custom build.prop tweaks I have put together. Also Auto_Debloat will update the GPU drivers. All these changes will speed up the Lgv20 and bring it back to life, so you can use it for years down the road.


    Why did I make Auto_Debloat and the extra-add on mods?
    I love my Lgv20 phone. I cant stand it when my phone or computers don't run perfect. That's why I run Stock Oreo, everything works.


    I am a developer may I port Auto_Debloat to another phone?
    Yes you may, I only have an Lgv20. But if you want to take the time and port Auto_Debloat over to another phone, go for it.


    Is LTE going away because of 5G?
    "LTE, which stands for Long Term Evolution, will be around for at least 10 years, so 5G will not make LTE obsolete any time soon. May 20, 2020"


    Does Auto_Debloat work in other countries?
    I don't see why not? You need to restore your EFS for your Cell Signal to work after rooting though.


    Can I change my Lgv20 from CDMA to LTE/GSM?
    Depending on your version of firmware.
    LG V20 CDMA to LTE/GSM switch via Hidden Menu


    Can I go to LineageOS from Stock Oreo 8.0 Auto_Debloat?
    Yes you can, you need to downgrade to Nougat first before flashing LOS, because you need to be on the Nougat firmware before LOS will work correct. Make sure you have a Nougat rom that is rooted, you don't want to go back to stock with no root. You may have to reinstall your EFS also.


    The End.
