About LineageOS:

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8 (oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the Suicide Squirrel and LineageOS Github repos.
If you would like to contribute to do not hesitate to submit patches


**** These builds are for UsU'd devices only ****
UsU? http://bit.do/unlockg4​

Requirements

• Your device need to be unlocked by UsU
• Your bootloader stack should be on MM 20p or higher! (see FAQ #20 for how to upgrade your bootloader stack)
• Latest TWRP - PREVIEW build: click
• Clean modem partition (so no UsU baseband flashed) - see Installation topic for details

Installation

1. If you have ever flashed the UsU baseband package: Clean flash the modem partition in TWRP:
   - TWRP flashable N modem (recommended)
2. Full wipe like described here (click & go to FAQ "#zzz") is highly recommended. DO NOT REPORT ISSUES when you have skipped that step!
3. Flash LOS
4. Flash GApps (8.1 - ARM64) if you like to use google apps
5. Flash SuperSU / Magisk if you want root
6. Boot (will take long on first boot!)
7. Enjoy

Hey! I'm using it and it works flawlessly except 1 thing for me. I use bt calls much but now it has background noise as mentioned in known issues section. I can live without it but I hope you to solve this problem. Is there anything I can do for help? Thanks again @steadfasterX

Thanks for offering your help but unfortunately you can't do anything at the moment. I'm working on it at highest priority because I need it by myself but this issue is absolutely a nightmare and not easy to fix

Thank You!

First of all, THANK YOU @steadfasterX for your work. I'm so happy there are still active developers for the G4, i'm finally free from the LG's claws.

I'm currently running the latest version of LOS available and here's a list of bugs/errors I found:
- I can't find/connect to 5GHz Wireless networks;
- The torch tile isn't working;
- Feels like even 2.4Ghz wi-fi connections are slowed down;
- SeLinux is permissive;
- Not an error, but I coudn't get Floatify to work on my lockscreen, guess it is not compatible with Oreo yet.

I didn't have issues with bluetooth media as some people had, though. There's no background noise
I hope this feedback help you somehow

BT music is ok but calls has that bad noise.

Thanks for building this. Think I prefer Lineage to AOSCP.

Just a couple of issues that I have noticed so far.
I have the same problem on this ROM that I had using AOSCP. I tried to change the lockscreen to pattern during the initial setup wizard but it crashed and next time round I just skipped that step. Now when I try and set my lockscreen it just crashes the settings app.

Also torch tile doesn't work in the quick settings panel.

torch tile --> check the Known Issues in the OP for a workaround

regarding the settings crash: without logs no one can help you

adb shell
su
logcat -b all -c
logcat -b all
(now immediately reproduce the crash)
ctrl+c to cancel

copy the whole console output and paste it at http://bpaste.net (ensure you set the dropdown there to never)

Just realised I wasn't rooted so went and flashed SuperSU.

Do you need me to produce another log with root?

please do a backup in TWRP
then flash this TEST kernel in TWRP: http://leech.binbash.it:8008/kernel...ental/h815_usu_los_boot_TEST-build-1-oreo.zip
try again to access the settings screen

ok I have my h815 UsU'd as well and I cannot reproduce your issue.
Do you have tried to do a clean flash (means format system! --> FORMAT data! --> flash ROM) ?
Hint: obviously this will delete ALL your internal storage so take care of that and I recommend to use the app FlashFire for the backup of your internal storage before doing the above

Just tried that. Still the same.

Tried it twice, once as you said then again by picking all the wipe options. If I try set a password or code it will crash then ask me to re-enter the password which always fails.
Think I'll just use it without a lockscreen.

New build up

Happy leeching
@Rich Rich try that one too. Its really strange that it does work here and for you not. what firmware version is your bootloader stack?

Just flashed that and it's the same. My device is an import from Taiwan, so originally on the TWN firmware is that makes a difference.

How do I check the bootloader stack? I used the UsU guide and flashed the files given there.

and what was the exact firmware version you were on before flashing UsU?
you can use SALT and check "Firmware (system)" in the main screen. its not 100% but we will see.
if you have followed the unlock guide you would have a backup of that. Then its enough to do this (requires Linux/FWUL):

Open a terminal in the directory where you have your SALT backup before UsU'd.
Then:

strings misc.bin | grep LG

and paste the whole output

I've attached a screenshot of my SALT window. Hope this shows the info needed.

you know that you are using an outdated version of SALT? current is 3.16 atm.
now check the backup files as mentioned.

Don't know where the backup files are stored. I just have SALT installed in a standalone VMWare Linux machine, I'm not Linux literate so not sure where to start looking for the files. What's the default backup location?
