AOSP based rom with customization focused on stability and most of all smoothness.​

What works?
Almost everything

What's broken?
**VoLTE (Will never work on custom roms on LG phones)**
**10 bit video recording (Watching content in 10 bit works, you just cant record video in 10 bit format)**
You tell me!

Changelog 26-12-2022

ROM
- Completely rebased our source on top of December security patch
- Fixed some bugs
- Temporarily removed some features
- Improved overall system stability
- Added some new sweet customizations

QUICK FASTBOOT-DRIVER GUIDE INSTALLATION:
How to install:
1. Extract the fastboot-driver.zip.
2. Open device manager
3. Click right on " Android " it should have a yellow warning icon, press on update driver
4. Select browse my computer then press on let me pick from a list of available drivers
5. Press on Have disk and then go to where you have extracted the zip file and select android_winusb.inf
6. Done.

IF YOU FACE SOME FASTBOOT ISSUES DOWNLOAD FIX-FASTBOOT ZIP :
Instructions: Copy it in main directory (usually in C: drive) and run it as administrator, problem solved.

ORANGEFOX GUIDE:
If you have acces to fastboot, download fastboot-driver.zip and fastboot-tools.zip for the tools necessary to boot ofox.
Open the CMD and use the following command to boot ofox:

fastboot boot ofox-metadata.img

If you don't have access to fastboot, enter in 9008 mode, open qfil and load ofox image on boot_a and boot_b then force reboot (hold volume - and power button for 10s), after it reboots it will get you automatly in ofox.

DISCLAIMER FLASHING OFOX IN QFIL WILL LEAD IN YOUR ROM NOT BOOTING AS LG G7 IS AN A/B DEVICE WHICH MEANS IT DOESN'T HAVE A RECOVERY PARTITION, BOOT IMAGE IS MANDATORY FOR YOUR PHONE TO BOOT, FLASHING OFOX USING QFIL ITS ONLY FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO FLASH A CUSTOM ROM AS IT OVERWRITES THE BOOT IMAGE WITH THE CERTAIN ROM'S ONE.

NOTE: It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing and please avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup (or with any backup/restore app) as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug, restoring regular apps is fine.
If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.

1. Boot in OFOX metadata;

2. Format Data (Press on the recycle bin icon —-> format data ——> type yes);

3. FROM HERE YOU CAN CHOOSE BETWEEN 2 METHODS TO FLASH:
3.1. USING ADB SIDELOAD:
3.1.1. Press on "back" and flash the rom using adb sideload (Go to 3 lines in the bottom right corner, choose "ADB Sideload", Then "Swipe-->", open the cmd from adb tools folder in computer, then type "adb sideload", hit "Enter", then < drag and drop the zip over the cmd>);
3.1.2. Flash ofox zip the same way through adb sideload, it will automatically reboot to ofox after flashing is done;
3.1.3. Flash gapps; (Only if the rom does not contain gapps);
3.1.4. Flash magisk (Optional);

3.2. OR IF YOU HAVE A MICROSD CARD, YOU CAN FOLLOW THIS:
3.2.1. Move the rom and ofox, and gapps(if you will use) zip file into your microsdcard;
3.2.2. Press on "/sdcard" area and choose "Micro SDCard", navigate straight into your rom zip file, then press on it, then "swipe ---->", it will start flashing it;
3.2.3. After flash the rom, locate your ofox zip file and flash it as you did with the rom;
3.2.4. Flash gapps; (If you want);
3.2.5. Flash Magisk (Optional);

4. Change filesystem to f2fs (Go to 3 lines in bottom right corner ----> manage partitions ----> select data -----> change fs ------> f2fs);
5. Reboot.

Upgrading to a Newer Build
• Boot in OFOX metadata;
• Flash the rom zip;
• Flash ofox zip, it will automatically reboot the phone to ofox after the flashing is done;
• Flash gapps (ONLY IF THE ROM IS WITH GAPPS ALREADY, MAKE SURE TO FLASH THE SAME ONE);
• Flash magisk (Optional);

I have installed it and I like it quite a lot apart that everything looks fluid and for now I have not tested it much but everything is working well except for a small visual bug in the taskbar to change sometimes from horizontal to vertical screen, another thing is that at the beginning if I remember correctly asked me if I wanted to use the notch but now I do not find that option in the settings and I do not see the gallery application I do not know if it is because I installed with the gapps but apart from that all good many thanks

The Visual bug is SparkOS source fault, so i can't help with this part and the notch too. The Gallery App is replaced by Google Photos when on Gapps version, if you wanna use gallery, you should download vanilla version and flash a gapps package that doesnt have google photos in it, so it will be fine

Thanks for the great work on this and the other roms you've compiled! I'll try them all and find the best one.

I found a small problem in Spark... the function of two clicks on the power button to open the camera is not working. Any ideia?

You're welcome man, the two clicks not working is a source bug, and it only occurres on gapps build version, on vanilla it works fine.

uma nota aos aparelhos EMW acredito que variente brasileira para funcionar ligações e chamadas em geral no aparelho é necessario por rom stock em 30d e não emw precisa ser esse firmware aqui: G710EM30d_00_0915

a note to the EMW devices I believe that a Brazilian variant to work calls and calls in general on the device is necessary by stock rom in 30d and not emw needs to be this firmware here: G710EM30d_00_0915

A bug report, I tested the rom and sometimes when we activate the flashlight it turns itself off, otherwise the rom is perfect, but after activating it for the second or third time, the problem doesn't usually occur anymore.

 

[xilk12s]

This ROM is the best I have ever used. Thank you.

 

[sandip999]

My fingerprint isn't working now after updating to v12.6. Even in my settings "setup fingerprint" option is hidden. My fingerprint is working in another rom. And there's still a calling issue on the Indian carrier's network. Can you please fix this problem? Being honest This is the best rom I've ever used for Lg G7 plus.

There is already an Spark OS Android 13.0 with all fixes but i didnt have time to update the thread yet, but soon i will, also check if you are on the required stock rom for your device before flash any custom roms as this guide says.

 

[clairtonmichel]

This is the best version compared to Spark 12.6 Spark 13 fixed all the bugs the most annoying of the flashlight that keeps turning itself off when the automatic turning sensor was active, now it is normal, the WhatsApp bug regarding audio calls the sound of those who listen to me is a little low but it is audible, not to mention that android 13 or rom itself is much more fluid/fast compared to android 12/Spark 12.6 another thing that I LOVED that I didn't have before is Smart Lock is now working unlocking when at home or by devices (Bluetooth) nearby. Thanks to the Spark Os team and @EmanuelCN for bringing this wonderful rom to our LG G7 Thinq, really thank you!

"GAPP Build" I see some errors. google photos unlimited backup and fps unlock for game it doesn't work, app grid error 5x6 5x7... after install open app menu all apps are hidden except search. and the error of the phone mast icon not showing signal, 4G;LTE logo not displayed when using the internet. and by the way can you tell me why i want to go back to Spark 12.5 & 12.6 when flashing finished and rebooted, it only booted into recovery even though i flashed stock ROM G710EM 30H again and did it again.

 

[Ichiba1024]

Most of the reason why I wanted to move to 13 was for Bluetooth LC3 and OPUS support, but neither seem to be present in this ROM. Any chance they can be added later?

 

[Ichiba1024]

Having some kind of major issues with Files on the gapps version. When trying to pick files (such as .zip modules to install in magisk), it works correctly, but when trying to pick directories (such as my music folder in PowerAmp), Files opens the background of the menu, freezes for a few seconds, then crashes. I couldn't really find any combination of disabling/enabling and upgrading/downgrading that made it ever work with the gapps ROM, but the normal version with core nikgapps seems fine.

 

[teknodetay]

Hi I have some requests from spark os 13 team. 1) Always-on screen with pixel scrolling, screen burns occur. 2) Next to the application icons, the number of notifications should appear in numbers. 3) Camera applications come with the device's official camera application.

CAmera aplication no slow motion high fps features.

 

[teknodetay]

The on/off keys should be changed like this to make them more understandable.

open qfil and load ofox image on boot_a and boot_b

I have a G710ULM model, which I can flash any firmware into. However, Fastboot is only accessible after flashing a ULM firmware.

The problem is that the latest ULM firmware is 21f, which is incompatible with this "ofox-metadata.img" file. On the other hand, these are compatible but flashing any of them will cause the loss of Fastboot: "30F EM, 30D EMW/EAW/AWM"

The conclusion is that It seems impossible to flash "ofox-metadata.img" into a G710ULM model using Fastboot, so the only option left might be via QFIL. Unfortunately, as apparent in the quote, I could not get a hint of how to achieve that.

After exploring QFIL, I could not find a direct way to flash anything without either a "Content XML" file, or a "FireHose" file, which I could not get.

It would be greatly appreciated if any helpful leads could be shared.

Thanks in advance.

I recommend you to look at other tutorials, to get a better idea, but in itself it's very simple OBS Backup the recommended partitions, because if you need to, you can restore (boot_a and boot_b and laft_a and laft_b too
