Hello everyone :)

Some might know me from the V30... Also got my hands on a V40 now (which I will also give my best to develop for).
I'm currently searching for people who are capable AND willing to test different things.

With that I mean:
- You know how to take logs (logcat, dmesg)
- You know how to recover from a soft brick (either how to get into TWRP for example, or in really bad cases fastboot or flashing a kdz)
- You know how to follow orders

I currently have a (somewhat decendly) working TWRP build (cant decrypt stock encryption atm).
GSIs are a complicated thing, because of not only vbmeta but also because of our 8.1 vendor (Pie GSIs work, if you remove some sepolicies from their system, Oreo GSIs dont have that issue)

What I would need more people to test for:
- stock decryption
- trying out different ways when something (doesnt) boot (e.g. need to flash magisk for xy to not crash to fastboot)
and so on

After everything is somewhat stable (I had to reflash a kdz today, as somehow nothing, no twrp in either slot, or restored stock rom didnt wanna render anything anymore, even though usb/adb worked just fine)
Also working on LOS for this device btw (but thats far more work in progress)

If you wanna be part of this upbringing, reply here, and I'll message you via PM the details.
PS: Having Telegram would be very beneficial.

Any movement on this?
Camera/Fingerprint have issues so far.
Camera tries to load libraries it has no access to (because treble restrictions, so that also shouldnt work on stock, LG did some tricks there again i guess).
Fingerprint loads, log looks normal (same as on stock) just that it stops at one point without error or anything else.

Would use the prebuilt vendor, if it wouldnt have issues with Pie, thats why im building my own currently.
Other than that, havent had much time in the past 1-1.5 weeks.

Any update is a good update. I appreciate all the work your doing. I know it's not easy. Thanks again
