Download: Oreo V20 Folder
The (AnyKernel2) flashable zip will flash kernel as well as /system/lib/modules. If you want to go back you should backup modules as well

Notice: I don't own a V20, thus I can't guarantee it will be a sane and bug-free kernel for V20 users.

Questions

Q: Will this work on newer bootloaders?
A: It should. The kernel is based on the most recent of LG sources.

Q: What control app do you suggest using?
A: I suggest using SmartPack, or EX Kernel Manager.

Q: I have US996, what version do I use?
A: If you unlocked officially through LG then use "US996", otherwise use "US996Santa".

Q: Where can I donate? I want to donate!!
A: I don't accept donations because of two reasons. One: I don't really need it. Two: I like the idea of this being totally free, it adds to the enjoyability of the kernel.

Q: I'm having some problems with kernel not working or booting?
A: If you are on an older bootloader then that is likely why. My kernel works on new firmware, not exactly sure how far back the compatibility goes.

Q: I flashed this zip in recovery, but it didn't seem to work, I'm still on my old kernel. What can I do?
A: With AnyKernel you shouldn't need to re-flash ROOT after flashing kernel (if already installed, if not, do it before flashing kernel). SuperSu has been known to revert the kernel install if you do so.

Q: OK so I just rooted my phone and installed this, and OMGOSH! so excited, now what do I do - do I tweake-dy freak out huh huh? How do I do it??
A: Put simply, don't do anything. I don't know how things where in the past, but now you don't need to do anything. Not with this kernel anyhow. Such thing are better discussed in a separate thread anyway.

You say you added TCP and schedulers. Mine are all still the same basic on my h918

Thanks for your time in getting this together for us.

Hey there
It's enjoyable for me too to be doing this, at least for now Learning new stuff, and I can use the result for my G5 as well :good:

You must choose your settings with Kernel Adiutor or similar program. The defaults are the same as stock I believe.

 

[Silentwidow]

Seems to work OK on US996, seems to be running a little warm, but that could be from installing Color Control and aduiator in addition to some updates as soon as it booted. I'm letting it sit now and see how it runs normally.

Color Control is working great.

Got 151170 in Antutu

Oh, and it does have static on boot on the US996 non UCL.

 

[MysteriousAnon]

Hey! Does this work on H918, on software version 10q? I have root and TWRP on it but I've heard that because of the anti-rollback thing the older kernel's won't work

 

[Silentwidow]

One of his sources shows the 10q Kernel, I only show a version number on my us996, but it shows 3.18.31

Hey
I don't benchmark, is that a good score?

I have received report about that problem with static on US996.
I must have misunderstood. So users with Unlocked version still use the engineering aboot ?

If so it's an easy fix.

 

[runningnak3d]

@askermk2000 unlocked US996 can use either root method (unlock bin from LG or DirtyCow / eng. aboot).

I am guessing most use the eng. aboot since LG makes you "sign" a click through that says your warranty is void.

@MysteriousAnon ARB has nothing to do with the kernel (boot image). However, most newer kernels won't boot on older firmware, and vice-versa, older kernels won't boot on newer firmware. Nonetheless, if you DO boot a newer kernel on older firmware, it doesn't increment ARB. ARB is incremented by the bootloader...

EDIT: tagged the wrong person. Sorry...

[Silentwidow]

@askermk2000 I am not sure to be honest, I don't know about aboot lol, I unlocked using the LG tool.

For what I've gotten in the past on this phone, it's a great score, I normally get around 141k.

Ok then, you did as I expected, and in theory (that I've gathered) the US996 non UCL should be the one for you. But since you get static with that, then that can only mean one thing: The engineering US996 bootloader, and production bootloader is the same with regards to how it initializes the LCD panel.

Well then, I guess I only need to support one US996 model.
How is the ucl version working for you; all right?

I haven't tried it, am I able to use the UCL version on the non UCL?

I think so, that way you will not have static boot.
Next release I'll make it so that both version's won't have static boot.

The only difference between them is static fix (both will have next time) and changes to cmdline, which is not necessary if you simply have officially unlocked US996.

Can u pm me and tell me how to root h918 10q please

The only way to have root on 10q is to have rooted an 10j or below, then update to 10q with only the correct partitions so you don't lose root. If you are on full blown 10q out of the box or updated a stock phone to it, then there is no root for it.

Thanks yes i just gat this phone brand new and the firmware is 10q and they say u cant downgrade to early one right thanks for u anwser

The UCL kernel did not fix my static boot.

 

[texascbx]

Exactly how do you flash this. I'm running NATF Megarom V20 v4.0 ATT on h910. Software version H91010l? Thanks. I would love to not have the static at boot. Just flash in TWRP and would I then flash SuperSU again/ ?

 

[eroneko]

I flashed the UCL version and the static is gone.
Awesome!
PS. I'm using the eng. aboot. and 10k stock firmware

I am guessing most use the eng. aboot since LG makes you "sign" a click through that says your warranty is void.

Ah yes, makes sense.
Probably no point in maintaining two versions. Unless there's been some very confusing misunderstanding - Both US996 versions should use the *static fix*. Good! Makes it easier to maintain this thread :good:
