[Android 11/R] LineageOS 18.1 for LG G3 (Unofficial) + OTA + Signature Spoofing
- Thread starter HardStyl3r
- Start date
I have 3 LS990s. Custom roms in general are much smoother and faster . I've ran every version since kitkat and can't imagine going back. Every new version is like getting a nice new updated LS990.
I just wanted to say thank you to HardStyl3r for all the great work that was done to LS990 with LineageOS. The phone just got new life with this ROM.
And also want to know some news about Android 12
Would you concider to port it to LS990? LineageOS 19?

If it doesn't have msm8974ac, I am afraid you can't.
Thanks for the rom. Brought my old LG G3 back to life.
Can you do OTA update or does it have to be through recovery?

Can you already tell if it will be possible to upgrade by "dirty flashing"? Does the answer also apply for encrypted devices?
Official LineageOS builds support OTA updates.
Unfortunately, I don't know yet.
could someone clarify a couple of things for me?
- why is there several mentions of intalling this from a stock rom? I have crdroid installed on one of my G3's and it doesn't work well on phone calls and messaging (unless I turn wifi off). can't I just wipe dalvic, cache, data and system and flash the lineage zip, magisk and opengapps?
- I read that you should flash gapps before booting the system. why is this?

Very smooth rom! My only problem is occasionally I have random reboots, any though about the problem?
I had random reboots specially when using apps that use several of the SOC subsystems at the same time (ex: navigation app, banking), my fix? replace the battery, seams that apple wasn't that wrong with the iphone 6 performance regression thing.
The problem is that lithium ion batteries maximum current output decreases with time. So when the phone needs more energy then the battery can output it reboots it self.
The thing is that most custom ROMs modify or use different partitions, so you can try install over one but results may not be stable. I for one did both on lineage 17 comming from a ASOP ROM and had a much better experience with stock as the base system. I know that is more work to go back to stock and reroot but it is worth it.
About the gapps... I don't know... just did it...
Thank you for the rom getting very good stand by battery (D852) but when the data is on or changing sim to different carrier the battery drains very fast. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Breno.
I really like this ROM. i'm running 12/03 nightly version, which seems to fix the problems I had with the 11/05 version (ringtone, wallpaper, etc)
what I am wondering is, is there and easy way to install the new "nightly"s, or do you have to wipe everything, install the ROM, gapps, and magisk each time? and of course, make your custom settings...
I have a D851.
I don't think there is very much activity on this thread, but this is a VERY good ROM!

Hello guys. I can't enter Recovery mode on my LS990
Now I'm on LineageOS 18.1 (2021-12-17) I want to upgrade to 2021-12-31 update. I downloaded it on my phone. Click Install, it says that it will reboot to recovery mode. Phone reboot, but only this signs on black screen:
[700] Fastboot mode started
[790] - reset -
[790] - portcharge -
And nothing happens.. I waited 20-25 minutes. Pressed power button, volume buttons and nothing.
Than took out the battery and phone booted to OS

9Heh, long time no see.
I've managed to narrow down every single bug I could find and increase performance wherever applicable.
LineageOS 20 is work in progress. I just need more time and start off with a clean 18.1 base. I can't fix LineageOS 20 when previous versions were unstable.
I've swapped download links and updated the main thread.
Thoroughly tested on d855, other variants are built as usual, so I need a lot of feedback. If everything goes well with these builds, I'll try to move back to Official releases with OTA.7
I do plan to release Android 12.I just wanted to say thank you to HardStyl3r for all the great work that was done to LS990 with LineageOS. The phone just got new life with this ROM.
And also want to know some news about Android 12 Would you concider to port it to LS990? LineageOS 19?
If it doesn't have msm8974ac, I am afraid you can't.7A new update (for a short while) before we'll have official builds. Once the builds are available to download, I'll convert this thread to Official and close 17.1.
Enjoy.6OTA installation
LineageOS updates are full installation packages. That means you can always install only the latest update, even if you skipped some in between.
Performing OTA update on your phone.
Make sure you have supported recovery installed, such as LineageOS recovery that can be found here in this thread. If there is an update available for your device, click Download and wait for it to complete. You should now see something similar to this:
If you'd like your recovery to be updated alongside your ROM, click on the meatballs menu (right upper corner) and select Preferences as shown on the screenshot:
As you can see, there is an Install button. If you are ready to proceed, click it and confirm the dialog by pressing OK as shown:
Your phone should now be updating. It will reboot to recovery, update the OS and boot back to it.
Update blocked: This update cannot be installed using the updater app. What do I do?
This means that the update you are trying to install is a newer version of Android than what you have currently installed on your phone. In this case, it needs to be flashed manually on your device, since Updater simply can't update you to a newer version of OS. You get the idea. If you find yourself in this situation, simply follow the second instruction (so-called dirty flash) posted under Installation section in the main thread.
