LG G5
Thank you so much for bringing android 12 to LG G5. This is amazing.

If you allow me I would like to ask something. I generally use orbot to push through Tor the traffic from infinity (reddit) and the web browser. I mean i am using orbot in VPN mode/Tor enabled app mode. And this worked without a problem with the previous version of the operating system. Unfortunately now, it is no longer the case, and applications just don't have internet access in this mode.

My question is whether someone else has problems with split tunneling in tor or other vpn applications?

Congrats and kudos to the development team [@aleasto, @AShiningRay, @npjohnson, @ROMSG & @x86cpu),


this is my new favourite LineageOS rejuvenation device (after official support for the LG G3 has been dropped). ☺️


To sum it up why anyone should consider the "LOS v19.1 treatment".

Code:
+Actively maintained (security fixes) OS with great performance enhancements
+Vulkan support out of the box (although this came with v18.1 some months ago)
+Video & audio output via USB-C (HDR to SDR tonemapping works nicely)

-Camera app missing the option to save to microSD card
-No FM-radio (yet)
-Magisk has to be (re)applied after each OTA update (first through a Lineage recovery flash and afterwards through the Magisk app)

Enable USB debugging and do adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery-h850.img

(this will get rid of TWRP, so say goodbye to any on-device full backup solution)

fastboot reboot - INSTANTLY do the recovery KEY COMBO

after entering the new Lineage Recovery apply

I have a question, I flashed this rom from lineage os 18.1 to 19.1 via upgrade. Now my always on display is always out. Is this a bug ? It's activated in my settings

Thank you! Looking great!

Edit: Just read the thread through. Can we expect the FM radio to work at some point?

Also, which camera apps would you recommend that would support the wide angle? I'm currently using Open Camera and that's ok, but would like to try out other options if there are any.

probably at some point - no ETA

This is fantastic. Thank you so much for giving the phone a new life. On top of that, the main issue I had with Lineage since my first build seems to finally be fixed with this release: no more hissing audio. I didn't see that coming ❤️

By the way, "charging slowly" isn't working. Checked with today's (April 16th) update. The phone says it's charging, but it's not.

There's also an issue with Ambient Display. When the phone is connected to a charger, the proximity sensor works perfectly and brings up ambient display each time the sensor gets uncovered, whereas when the phone is diconnected, it only brings up ambient display the first, and sometimes second time the seonsor gets uncovered. After that, only a double screen tap brings up ambient display (as if the proximity sensor stopped working).​

I installed via TWRP it worked fine and also updates fine but next update it will go lineage recovery because twrp wont decrypt the phone anyway (twrp thing also happens on other phones)

    Why is rooting Android not recommended nowadays?
    Thanks.

    And just not needed for most things. ADB root can be used where needed.

    Yes. It can be a desktop or a laptop. As long as the power source causes the phone to enter into “charging slowly” mode, the battery won’t be charged. Since I have a second cable and a spare adapter, I ran some “tests”:
    ...​
    Yes, please send a logcat of the device that's having a hard time charging from USB. I think the issue comes from logcat spams, since those phones use a lot of power to keep logging everything (and it only seems to happen here with gapps installed for some reason), but the more data we get on this, the better.

    Can someone proof, whether a 5ghz hotspot is possible? in the first LOS 19.1 Version it shutdown allways. only 2.4 GHz worked correctly.

    i know first-world-probs. but important for me :rolleyes:
    Please stop - we're aware and will let everyone know when/if it is fixed.

    @npjohnson: thank you a lot. . i crawled the whole change history on lineage-os 19.1 for the LG G5 and didnt find any notice. so i am quiet till it will be fixed. thought no one care or are able to reproduced it.
    That's one of the things we are looking at those last few days, so it's not that "no one cares", we just have a slightly bigger issue on that front, with that being that hotspot didn't work at all on G6. It's better to see that one fixed before looking at the state of 5GHz on all devices.

    Basically, we share a very similar set of device trees, and the same kernel between V20, G5 and G6 so that's why things can take a while sometimes.

    I read that IR maybe back! If true, wow! Hopefully on both versions official and unofficial.
    Yes it's back for both G5 and V20, on both official and unofficial 19.1 as well. Was really annoying to fix, but it's finally back after all those years on AOSP.

    If you don't follow these instructions, or use 3rd party add-ons (like Magisk) please don't expect support here.

    Known Bugs:
    • IMS (VoLTE/Wi-Fi Calling) doesn't work due to framework tie-ins used by the LG proprietary binaries.
    • Find any? Report them according to this guide.
    Notes:
    • The only supported GApps package at the moment is MindTheGapps, linked on our Wiki page about gapps.
    • This uses a port of Linux kernel version 4.4.

    Nice, totally forgot to check the official G5 thread until now... (Hi again G5 community! Only showed up here one or two times before)

    Figured i should do it sooner rather than later since it is closely tied to V20 in some features (FM and IR for example) and i'm the main kernel maintainer for those devices despite only having a V20.

    Anyway, yeah infrared should be working soon, it was broken due to some binder updates that i partially worked around those last few days. So far no regressions, though we're relying on you guys to help test that!
    Thank you! Looking great!

    Edit: Just read the thread through. Can we expect the FM radio to work at some point?

    Also, which camera apps would you recommend that would support the wide angle? I'm currently using Open Camera and that's ok, but would like to try out other options if there are any.
    The new kernel does have support for it since @askermk2000 (yeah he's also in, has been a really huge help ever since the beginning) brought back and reworked the BT+FM driver into 4.4, and FM even worked on some earlier Android 12 custom roms though we didn't test it much.

    Problem is: That driver is causing a lot of issues on Android 13 so we'll have to rework it even more on both kernel and rom if we're going to actually support FM going forward. So in short, that's why there's no ETA, especially since there are a few more issues to iron out besides FM.
    It'll make it at some point, it's in the plans and we just didn't sort out all the issues that would give it official status yet though it already works pretty well on custom roms... that one is also the least tested phone on our sources so far.
