Originally I was going to direct this question to dcd....but anyone else who may know the answer feel free to shoot me your two cents...
I was wondering if there's a way to modify the kitchen to remove PIE altogether...also if it is possible, what would be the unwanted side effects if any?
Please and thank you.

gc, I am not a guru so I cant comment about if PIE can be removed, but I notice that whenever I download using Opera Mini (Java) it opens PIE to do the download. So removing PIE might effect your machine functionality even if you are not 'using' PIE.
I agree that PIE is a POS, but they say a better version will be coming out Q3 2008 that will be more like deepfish.

I see this all over different phone threads but was wondering if anyone would want to help out on making this possible.
currently i have nothing to start with but i've been using (empiire)'s 1.4.1 rom and trying to get to lock ring added.
any ideas on this would be a HUGE help.
if this has been answered, point me in the right direction. Thanks!
Easy fix option:
You can use agile lockscreen from the Market. It's free, but the paid version has a bunch more options.
The free version in the market is here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.SenseScreen
If you want to add facial recognition tech to that Sense Lockscreen, you can use this (also free in the Android Market):
https://market.android.com/details?id=visidon.AppLock
Protip for Visidon: Set security to 'high', and take about 10 shots in different light levels, and it'll work great.

sweet! that seems like a pretty easy thing to do.
i really want to mod this new rom i downloaded.
its gonna look sicker than sick lmao
its gonna be sick ba-**** ;D
Just figured I would give you guys an early sneak peak of something I am working on that is PA inspired. With recent changes to pie I missed the old pie a little. Rather than complain I decided to do something about it and make my own pie (with blackjack and strippers).
http://youtu.be/anM4F8EMahA
This is pre-alpha and is just to gauge your opinions. It does not require root. Works back to gingerbread right now. It is an app that will be run on any android phone and doesn't require being built into the system.
What do you guys think? Is there room for one more pie?
Goals:
- First release with just navigation
- custom coloring
- Per app coloring
- notification services like old pie
- comments and suggestions welcome

Hello my fellow LG G6 users,
after I got my LG G6 I unlocked the bootloader and installed Fulmics ROM without hesitation. I don't really care about my warranty when I on the other hand have the ability to enjoy the newest LG UX, Magisk with Viper4Android and the iOS Emojis, or the better battery life. Using a AOSP ROM really never came to my mind since it's known for it's bugs, bad picture quality, battery life and so on. So I used Fulmics 4.2, Melina Kernel and Magisk.
With the announcement of Oreo I really got excited for it, but after @xpirt (btw thanks for your work, beginning with the G3) announced that he likely won't continue Fulmics ROM on the G6 this excitement was quickly demolished. I really rely on some of the tweaks of the ROM. But since I really wanted to see the improvements of Oreo so I flashed the Firmware a few days ago.
Starting with the Firmware for the H870. First of all it's hard to even get the newest (20B) since this is the version with the camera improvements and rebranding of the G6. But after installing it I quickly realized that there are many issues with the Oreo build and many missing features you may know from Nougat and the Fulmics ROM.
1. Original icons are not working with the Stock Google Apps. There will always be this white frame around most of the icons, which is not as good looking as before
2. When you're using bluetooth headphones you will get a persistent notification that you can switch your media output between the G6 speakers and your bluetooth output. A so called "feature". I really don't know how to get rid of it, since you cannot silence it. LINK
3. Battery life is the worse I've ever seen, even worse than AOSP Roms. I'm not even a heavy user but I only get around 3hrs Screen On time which is unacceptable for a last year 2017 flagship.
4. Always on Icons like the battery percentage and the battery symbol itself are not removable and they will always be there LINK
5. Neat features like customization of the QS tiles and volume up/down for skipping tracks on your music app are gone
6. Bluetooth connectivity is in general worse, headphones are randomly disconnecting. LINK
7. SD Card issues with the unofficial 20B build on the westwood24 Firmware 20A thread. SD Cards over 32GB seem to be corrupted for the system
8. Some notifications are not getting displayed like the notification badge on the app icons
These are only some of things that really bother me on pure Stock Oreo. Even with Magisk and Substratum installed which are able to do some of the things, Fulmics Tweaks is easily capable of, with many difficulties.
This thread should not blame LG (Maybe a bit with there so called "features") but may warn some of the users on a very customized and good Fulmics Version when they think about switching to the stock Oreo Firmware, since I personally going to switch back to Fulmics.
Feel free to comment possible solutions for the problems (s.o.) or your own experience with Stock Oreo.
I experience none of the problems with stock oreo.
Its way better than fulmics.

Just edited some links into the thread supporting my points. Which problems exactly don't you have with stock Oreo ?
I don't want miss the new 1password function. This is new in Oreo. Security and so on are better with Oreo. No, I don't want go back to fulmics. Fulmics are very nice, but I need the Oreo features.

I have workarounds for some of these problems. I am on unrooted, stock oreo.
1. Custom launcher with an icon pack. Easy solution.
2. You COULD try disabling the bluetooth app with LG Package disabler, which silences the notification. However, things start to break. I figure, since you're rooted, you could do something with Tasker. Just an idea.
3. Debloat. Or, use LG Package disabler. My battery is nowhere near as bad - an average of 4-5hrs SoT, and this seems to work just fine.
4. It's not really a remedy or anything, but I use the app "Glimpse Notifications" instead of AoD, which turns on the screen briefly and shows the notification. It uses very little battery.
5. Never found those useful, and I don't use the stock music app. Aren't QS tiles still customizable?
6. I just don't use bluetooth headphones. We still have a headphone jack, don't you remember?
7. Never encountered this issue because I have a 16gb sd card.
8. Works on Nova just fine. Maybe check the stock launcher's notification permissions.
As much as I dislike this phone, I've just gotta make do with what I have until my contract is up.
Same here. Honestly, I'm not have these issues either.
The only thing that bothers me after the update is the slight but noticeable performance hit, mainly the lag when starting apps that aren't already running in the background.
But I haven't done a factory reset (out of laziness) which might take care of the problem.

I get 5 hrs SOT with 20b. Don't know why one would get three, but the Rom or Oreo are not the reason apparently.
I like the stock ROM, even though I've been using custom on several phones before this one, since it has VOLTE and T-mobile wifi calling. Don't see any lag I have not been able to get rid of.
I agree it's a bummer that the devs have mostly walked out on the G6.
going from the "spread" out optins of v7 (v20) to the clown colors of the compressed (menu in menu) v7.1 and onwards, that clown show color theme is horrific.
any way to change it back to the way 7.0 settings menu looked?
its like having the app on the screen instead of finding it amongst other apps in a folder. I hate folders
I also dont like the color theme. is there a monotone theme?
any way to change badges for certain apps on the v30? clock , notes and camera badges are horrible. I prefer very simplistic and clean designs.
I have to say I just don't understand your question. Are you asking about V20, as opposed to V30? And if so about Nougat 7.1, wanting to make it look like Nougat 7.0?
If so, have you considered posting in the V20 forum?
Afraid I don't remember Nougat anymore. Most V30 users are on Pie, while some have chosen to stay on (or roll back to) Oreo. Myself included. But Nougat, that's 3 years ago.
apologies. let me explain again. I have a v20 and v30
the v20 is on v7.0
I love the layout of the settings menu. I like that they have a setting for each thing separately (mostly), unlike the v30 7.1 which has many settings together and you have to go a few menus deep to change things. basically clicking more to get to the setting.
as well, the v20 has a monotone design which is clean. the v30 has a multi colored theme and each settings has different colors. it looks cartoonish and not aesthetic.
so on these 2 fronts it doesnt look good imo.
you can change icon/badges with a theme pack, but what about changing the way the menu looks?
is there a v7 rom for a v30 ? id be happy to use any version as long as I didnt have that multi colored look and clicking so much just to get to a setting.
reminds me of windows 10. everything is swept under a rug and in the settins you cant even find anything because you have to click so much just to find it.
heres an image showing side by side what I had on the right and the new settings menu looks horrible. grouping settings together is like sweeping things under a rug or the "Matryoshka doll" effect
https://imgur.com/a/ObTu6uW
I see, I understand now what you're saying, including that you were comparing V20 v7.0 to V30 v7.1.
Afraid I have no suggestions though. Hopefully somebody does. Personally I never thought of that as an issue.
Are you intent on staying on Nougat? There are many more ROMs and Mods if you're willing to go to Oreo or Pie. And I'm not aware of anything on V30 that worked better on Nougat than Oreo, at least not anything significant.

Instead of trying to go further back into the past (even earlier Nougat), you should update to at least last stock Oreo (8.0) firmware. So many new features and fixes were given during that era over flawed Nougat. Camera features, etc. You couldn't pay me money to go back to Nougat.. The only reason people use Nougat is temporarily when Frankenstein flashing (converting) to another North American variant. Then quickly ditching that for last Oreo or Pie.
I'm not a big fan of the V30 stock Pie (9.0) firmware myself, but others like it. But everyone agrees that last Oreo was stable, feature filled magic. If you are rooted, on last Oreo you even get DTS 3D Surround Stereo feature (in the firmware but hidden, has to be activated with root).

that green nasty dialer color is absolutely disgusting. when you call someone and the screen turns green. its horrible. it ruins my eyes. I cant stand it. it drives me absolutely crazy, instead of white, now I have this hideous annoying green. I thought android was about use customizing and here it is working completely against me
I dont want oreo or anything besides 7.0
I had issues since updating
ill take the primitive old design then anything from 7.1. its a crap gui. absokutely stupid and way way more intrusive. everything is hidden menu under menu.
im actually considering getting a dumb phone just for calls and text and a simple garbage phone for anything else. ive stopped surfing on a phone as i cant block ads and cant find a proper browser that blocks ads AND stays on desktop agent mode as default for all sites. its crap. screw opera. no more. adblock browser is crap brave is crap. they either do one or the other
but agaun, that ugly asz android 7.1 and up has a horrible gui. and who the hellk thought to turn a screen fully green to make calls is good?
Hello, Just seen that MIUI 12.5 Stable Beta has been released!
Here is a link for the recovery ROM: https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.5.1.0.QEACNXM/miui_MI8_V12.5.1.0.QEACNXM_8e708da17d_10.0.zip
Here are some benchmarks from antutu and geekbench for anyone interested.
Also, it's unfortunately running Android 10 but that was to be expected, Also the security patch is from December last year.
How the battery backup and smoothness can share thanks in advance
I've installed xiaomi.eu version and it does not feel like miui 12.5, at least not the new visual changes, control center, recent apps, volume sliders and etc

Yeah, it seems to be missing a lot of the 12.5 features. Maybe they will be added when it's released.
Just submit bugs and suggestions using the included app and hopefully it will be fixed before release
Smart Home controls in Control centre are still missing, when searching in settings it comes up in the list but the options for it aren't actually available.
I have submitted it as a bug in the feedback app. The more people that submit the bug the higher chance it will get fixed.
To me it seems that they just released a very much partial and bare minimum miui 12.5 to our phones and it was intended like this, in other words, they just wanted to satisfy the requests that they got for miui 12.5 for mi8.
Also security patch of December 2020? I mean wtf... Why even bother releasing something like this?
I have just found out that it's quite easy to get the new MIUI 12.5 volume controls to work on this device.
It's pretty much as simple as installing an APK! The only thing is you need root and SAI to install it to bypass the unofficial channel error.
Which basically like @CarlosGilberto said they are doing the bare minimum! It's literally just an APK to get new audio controls why on earth did they not include it?????
Anyway, here's a link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/systemui-controls/ Just download the latest one and use SAI in Root mode to install.
How to install this? I'm currently on PE plus android 10 with orange fox twrp.. Should I format data?
