[ROM] Extreme Syndicate

[elliwigy]

Hello XDA!


Disclaimer:

I am not responsible for any damage or awesomeness stemming from you flashing this ROM to your device. I am not responsible if you do not read the thread in its entirety and you miss a call. With that being said, my ROMS tend to lean on the EXTREME side of things. This means a lot of what you are used to on an LG stock ROM is GONE. I am not responsible if you do not know how to "sideload" your own applications of whatever you want to add back or for your "data" used to download apps readily available on the Play Store. I am also not responsible nor will I address any issues or "bugs" that stem from utilizing the "Dirty Santa" rooting method such as static on reboot and/or vibrating on reboot etc. These are bugs that in time should be fixed and I will update the ROM accordingly but this is not a cause of the ROM itself so let's keep specific bugs to this ROM in this thread.

Goodies:

- Based on Stock Deodexed US996 Firmware (US Unlcoked Version, NOT US Cellular)
- Rooted
- Deodexed
- KCAL Support
_ HD Voice
- Working Hotspot
- Forced High Impedence MOD
- Assertive Display MOD
- More to Come!

Prerequisites:

- Must have TWRP
- ONLY TESTED ON VS995
- Download the latest Extreme Syndicate ROM (of course) to your Device
- Kernel of your choice, I recommend Konverged Kernel

Install Instructions:

1) Download ROM and Kernel to Device
2) Boot into TWRP Recovery
3) Do a standard wipe as you would when doing a "clean install" (data, cache, dalvik)
4) Flash ROM then Kernel
5) That's IT!

Shout Outs:

- @me2151 and Team (Dirty Santa Root & various other help, insights, ideas, and tests)
- Early Testers!
- I will add more as I go and after I gather some of their usernames to TAG

Donations:

- I am always wary posting for any donations as it is not required nor expected on XDA but if you are feeling generous, all of us could use a drink every now and then, I do drink beer

Bugs & Fixes

Extreme Syndicate v1.1 Bugs/Fixes:
- I would not call it a bug but I have no added busybox yet so use an installer from the Play Store once you load the ROM
- I have not decided what Kernel to use yet, so have a kernel ready to flash as per instructions in OP or you might have issues
- No other issues ATM.. I will also be uploading files to my Google Drive with all removed bloat so users can add back what they wish since this ROM is EXTREME!




Extreme Syndicate v1 Bugs/Fixes:
- Google Dialer FC's/Download a 3rd party dialer or side load LGContacts.apk until a fix is found or I replace the dialer in the next update.
- Hotspot Won't Connect/Delete or uninstall using TiBu the Verizon Mobile Hotspot apk and it will work fine. Will be removed on next update to avoid the extra step.
- File Transfer with PC not working/For some reason you need to connect a flash drive to the phone to enable MTP mode, then it will work with the PC. I need to figure this one out.
- Double Clock in status bar/I just need to edit the SystemUI to hide the original clock. For now just hide the 3minit clock if you don't want two and I will remove this issue in the next update.
- That's it for now!

Just a reminder, if you need to install an .apk without play store access/internet access, you can transfer an apk to your sdcard and install it on the phone by going into Downloads > Sdcard and installing it from there (for those that don't know fancy-shmancey adb stuffs)

 

[elliwigy]

i also recommend signing into google acct during setup to ensure you are able to update the keyboard if it starts acting up

When I had the issue of two clocks, I used the 3minit for the date in the alternate corner.

Side note: in the mods section is a flashable 3minit batt and clock mod for our device. Eliminates the original clock.

We all must bow to the T-Mobile guys though. They get all the love :'[ Already have 2 AOSP based ROM's :'[


@elliwigy thanks for the ROM man. I like how you are trying to put a stock google spin on the LG ROM. I hope you stay with it!

Yup! I was with Sprint for 12 years. And I saw the TMO side always getting roms.

Unfortunately, I live in a rural area and Verizon is the only game in town. Verizon is nice when it comes to service. I live 30 minutes from the nearest city in the middle of the woods and get 4G and it's been ages since I've travelled anywhere and don't have a constant 4G signal. And I'm grandfathered in on their unlimited data which is true unlimited. I use on average over 300GB a month and they never throttle the speed

That's great dude! I MISS my unlimited data.. Last time I had unlimited was when 4G was about to release. How'd you get grandfathered in?

T-Mobile has always been at the top followed by AT&T, Sprint while VZW is usually at the bottom of the list

I'm not going to clutter up the thread anymore but Thanks @elliwigy. Even if it is for VZW all work on the LG V20 brings more interest to the phone which is good for all V20 users. me2151 is busting his ass for our sprint phones. I never expected root for any non T-Mobile phones so I am already a happy camper.

Good luck.:good:

The currently installed Google DIaler (Google Phone) doesn't work (crashes on opening), however, you can make and receive calls all day long:
Go to Contacts > Pick a contact you want to call and initiate a call from the contacts app.
Until you install a different phone app, you won't be able to dial, but you can make and receive calls.

WOW!!!! 300GBs? And no throttle? That's incredible. Nice!

thats good to know! so you wont miss a call just using the dialer to place a call is broken? thanks for the feedback!

Yep! I believe the Google Dialer actually uses a different app for the actual call, the dialer seems to be just a way to interface with the actual phone calling interface thing (or something like that).

That's why using the contacts app to initiate a call still works as well as actually receiving a call. I've tested it out myself, made a few phone calls yesterday and received one.

Happy to help

p.s. I pmed you about wifi calling not working, not sure if you read it
