Really miss the advanced shutdown menu - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Coming from an oneplus one with cyanogenmod, I really miss the advanced shutdown menu.
Any idea how to get it back ? Specially the reboot options (recovery, fastboot, etc.)

yeah that's one the things I miss from my opo using cos, built in ssh is another, before I'd just open android terminal and ssh form there, but now I;ve to use vx-connectbot or similar. hopefully we'll get a cm bringup for the g5 soon, I know some are already working on it

If you are rooted, I use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noxx.apm

QuickBoot is free and works good on a rooted G5. However, it's a standalone app and doesn't replace the power menu. It is free.

personally I use twrp app for reboot in recovery...

MIUI is a customized themed version of Android which is in the look of iOS.
Which version of MIUI is it?

It is the latest version of MiUI (US Build but GSM only). I think it is 1.8.5

Congratulations on making it work!
It seemed like you wouldn't get too much support but devs finally stepped up and helped make it happen. Good luck on improving it and vanish all those "what doesn't work" lines.

I said that, regardless of how it came up, you deserved credit fit being gutsy and getting to work on it. Now that it appears to work (can't try it ATM) you deserve more credit for delivering. Kudos to you!
Current Progress:
Now onto fixing the WiFi, torch and screenshot capture. I dont know what data is but I also have no data with CM7 FXP41 either, this could be releated because we are using the same kernel (edited a bit) and ramdisk.
Coming in next build:
WiFi
Torch
Screenshot Capture
Custom Bootscreen
UK Version of MIUI (Not the US one, the uk one is more like the real miui and the one you see on most phones.)
Xperia Wallpapers
Data is 3g coverage. It's a deal breaker for many people, so once it's fixed you can safely say you have a stable miui running.
Yeh, I know what data is and this would be like one of the only things left to fix (Most stuff is regarding kernel changes with the code provided.etc). But i also have no APN's or data in CM7 either, so....
Good to hear
I'll just wait till it gets a bit more stable before trying it

Any ideas on how are you going to fix the camera?Camera is very important u kno.
I don't know but they are working on it over in the Ray thread. It is something to do with the fact that because we cant get the source code for MIUI, we have to sort of hack the precompiled camera libary to link it with the kernel we have compiled...

[YP-G1][ROM][CM7-BASED]JoyOS1.2.2

Hello
I ported the JoyOS from ZTE to the SGP4.
I used the lastet beta of cm7.2.
Known issues of CM7:
Reboot into recovery does not work yet
Setup wizard doesn't run properly, just skip it
Bluetooth won't scan properly
Deep sleep is still disabled
Installation:

Aot this point, the system doesn't know whether the device is US or INTL because efs has not been restored. So the home key won't work on US devices. Use the menu key to select.
Now install the ROM again. This time it will restore the data directly on MTD/yaffs2 and do the actual install. When it's done, reboot. You should have a functional system and the home key should work on US devices again, since the efs data is now available again.
Finally, wipe data and cache.

Nice to see yet another ported ROM from you! One more, and you will have surpassed all the 4.0 Roms combined (sgs ports excluded). Keep up the good work chaoschris!
Awesome rom you have there. I don't have a SGP4 but keep up with the good work. I like your Google Doc/Drive storage.
Dude, your spitting out roms left and right! Keep it up!

Thanks for testing! Try the new Nougat build—I wasn't able to move apps onto the SD card (that is a LineageOS bug), but I was able to format it as internal storage.
I couldn't install the latest build 14.1 well just keeps bootlooping at the HTC screen.
Wipe
Install latest build
Install Gapps 7.1 (tried without installing this also) still no go ?

There appears to be an error in the build. I will upload a new build within a day.
Edit: New build has been uploaded! Please report if it works.
Never thought my Jewel would ever see Nougat (let alone Lollipop or Marshmallow). Just flashed and all is working well so far. Awesome work!
God tier work here, I'm blown away. I misplaced my Moto G 3rd gen somewhere in my apartment, so I've given up and dusted off my Evo. I was set to just use the Viper 4.1.1 that was on there, but some apps weren't installing so I came on ol' XDA. This is much more than I expected, thank you.
With that said, any tips on getting this to activate on Sprint / Ting? It was working fine on the old rom, but not kicking in here.
I know this isn't totally related to this ROM, but maybe it can be. I'm having issue with this (and most other ROMs I try) where the per button works physically, but only the buttons light up. I have to press the power button several times to get the screen to wake. This isn't consistent though. Seems worse if the screen has been off for a while. Does anyone know of a fix, and if so, can it be incorporated into this ROM? I know there have other threads about this but it seems like they have been dropped.

I believe that the service must be activated on a stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM. Then, the correct APN has to be set according to the carrier under Settings > More > Cellular networks > Access Point Names.

I've tried that in the past. Forgot about it this time around. Tried it again and it seems to be about the same as the actual power button for getting the screen to come on correctly.
Good ol' Jewel. Is this rom working ok?
My wife is temporarily using my old Jewel because she dropped & broke her crappy samsung phone. can someone please tell me how this rom is working?
I appreciate your time!

The ROM is working fine for the most part. The battery is not great, but that may be due to the battery's age. Additionally, there is a bug with BoringSSL that sometimes prevents the Play Store or Gmail from working temporarily.
sounds good. yeah, I'm sure it's age. thanks man. take care-
Trouble with WiFi
Did a Full factory reset, installed rom, gapps, and supersu from TWRP, factory wipe again from TWRP; now the OS is installed and running but after connecting to my home network, says no internet access although the netork is up and running normally, all other devices connected. Any thoughts or suggestions. I have a backup of my previous state, so I can revert, but would like to keep this on 7.1 for consistency between this and my primary device. The primary use for this device is media streaming.

I believe that the WiFi issue have been fixed in the latest build (20170522).
Thank you for this rom!
I had been using cyanogenmod 5.0 and dirtyunicorns 5.1 both were solid roms. Unfortunately the latest apps seem to run a bit slow on them. I thought it was the device but after installing this rom everything is snappy! It manages 1gig of ram better than any other rom and that 1.5ghz dualcore still runs strong. Snapchat is way more responsive on this rom, instagram and fb run without problems. GPS, 4g, sms, wifi, camera, sd storage, everything works! I've only noticed a few bugs. The wifi activity arrows don't show when something is downloading/uploading but wifi itself does work. Also, even tho I have working active cell service, it tries to activate itself again everytime I reboot and fails but calls-sms-data continue to work lol. The biggest bug is that auto-rotation stops working after 30-60 minutes and it stays stuck on portrait mode. Nothing but a full reboot will get it working again, a quick softboot won't fix it. I've tried changing the rotation settings and also added some lines to the build.prop but no solution thus far. I love this rom so much, if it's not fixed I might try some auto rotation apps. One last thing, it would be cool if the # in the status bar would go away after I close whatever app has root. The previous rom I had did that. Thank you so much to all the developers for bringing life to this phone!

Thanks for trying out the ROM! The WiFi activity arrows are intentionally disable on LineageOS. I do not currently have an active cell service on this device, so I am unable to fix the activation bug for now. Could you flash the patch below in recovery and test if autorotation is working properly? It should also enable the option to hide the Superuser icon under "Status bar" > "System icons".

Sparrow_7.1.1_Debloat ROM

This is a debloated/slightly modified ROM. There are NO ASUS apps, and only the bare minimum Google apps. I don't use any of the Fit apps, so they have been removed, but I believe they can be easily reinstalled through the PlayStore. Everything on the watch is significantly faster, except the Bluetooth call lag still exists on 4G, like it does on every device lately. I don't notice the bluetooth lag when the phone and watch are connected to WiFi. There is no watch face installed, so install one from the PlayStore after it boots. I pulled the boot animation from the developer preview, and the clock works during boot. It's pretty sexy.
Within the zip are the boot and recovery files as well, which include TWRP and a patched boot.img for Magisk. You'll need to sideload the latest Magisk Manager to have root access.
DIRECTIONS:
Download and extract Sparrow_7.1.1_Debloat
Boot into fastboot mode.
fastboot -w (This wipes the device, which is HIGHLY recommended.)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.simg
I highly recommend starting with fastboot -w to wipe the device. If you run into any issues at all and didn't wipe before install, then wipe and try again before posting issues. Also, pay close attention to the SIMG in system.simg. Type it exactly as it's posted, or copy and paste it. The SIMG is important lol.
Anyone running this ROM should look into this mod by @LeeonLee. Everything is noticeably smoother and lightning fast. I haven't gotten any Bluetooth lag since I implemented it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...parrowaw2-0-enabling-cores-gpu-boost-t3800427
Let me know what you guys think and if I should add/remove anything. I plan to add some more tricks if I update the ROM, including some speed tweaks. Happy Flashing!!!
Appears to work fine here.

Hi...I install this rom and the mod leeonlee, my watch have high battery drain, I do not know what to do
Did the battery life get significantly worse compared to stock 2.0? There was no noticeable difference in battery life for me. It was always horrible on 2.0 for me.
I have been running this for almost 3 weeks with @LeeonLee mod, and I haven't gotten any significant Bluetooth lag for calls. Before his mod, it wasn't uncommon that my phone would ring for 5 seconds before the watch showed me someone was calling. I mainly use my watch for riding my motorcycle, so any call lag is a big deal when I can't see who is calling.
I also haven't gotten the "not available" message when using voice commands since the mod.
Hello, I'm using still the stock rom, just rooted + performance patch, watch last 2 days, even 3 days when not used so intensively.

Maybe I should look into the build.prop mods I added from another watch. Perhaps it's causing excessive battery usage. It could also be that my watch battery is degraded.
which version of magisk manager and how sideload it? i'm little bit noob with adb
Here is a much easier way if you don't know adb too well. Download the latest Magisk installer zip from the Magisk thread onto your PC. I personally am using the 16.4 beta at this time. The Magisk Manager is included in the Magisk zip. Assuming you have TWRP installed, boot into recovery using *adb reboot recovery* or swipe from the top right when booting. The watch is recognized as a storage drive when it's in recovery. Then you can copy the Magisk zip from you PC to your watch, and install it with TWRP. This will give you the latest Magisk and Magisk Manager.

Never thought about using TWRP to transfer the zip, I just simply pushed it via adb and then rebooted to TWRP to install magisk zip.
BTW, after installing recovery.zip, boot.zip, magisk.zip, I rooted and setup the OnDemand script. It now is much smoother and don't see any noticeable lags. I downloaded System Info Wear to check that the script is actually working. It shows all four cores running at 787Mhz. Kudos to @LeeonLee for the script setup!! Many thanks also to @CVertigo1 !! I also decided to do what @LeeonLee mentioned in regards to stock rom staying put. I wasnt too eager to wipe current system just yet
hi guys... the smartwatch finally is usable.. but i have a question, have the wrist gestures been removed?
Just want to say that I've been using this ROM for a few weeks now, along with the core unlock mod. And it is amazing. The watch is so much more fluid. And with my rather light usage (always on, no gestures) I still get a full day out of the battery. I'm also glad all the extra bloat is gone. No apps I'll never use and no watchfaces I never set.
If you are thinking about switching from stock, highly recommended.
Thanks @CVertigo1

Wrist gestures are still there, you just have to turn on that setting under Gesture settings.

I really appreciate the kind words. That's exactly what I was going for. I'm not big into searching through a hundred apps to find the few I need, so I prefer my devices to be very militaristic. If I need Fit apps, or any other app, I'll install them separately. They don't need to live in the system. I stripped as much as I could without causing bootloops. I may be able to pull a few more out for the next ROM upload, and I'll also include @LeeonLee mods.
despite my limited modding skills I managed to do everything without doing any damage .. a big thank you to @CVertigo1 and @LeeonLee for the great work ..
Hope @CVertigo1 will be able to port a zenwatch3 rom on 2 one day...
Can I use this rom for wren?
I have just recently installed this on my watch, and it is very nice! The only thing that I noticed is that the pedometer (through Google Fit) does not seem to count the steps I am taking, is this related to some of the files be removed or is it just Google?
I'm not working at the moment but I want to send you a donation as soon as I can. I wanted to thank you because your debloated ROM managed to get my watch booting up once again for the first time in nearly a year. You deserve a donation because you saved me from spending money I don't wanna waste on an entirely new watch.
Is there any way to install some watchfaces stock after installing this Rom?

Oukitel K9 Custom ROM? Lineage OS?

Are their any projects related to the Oukitel K9 phone? I purchased one and use it on the AT&T network here in the USA.
The phone is decent but the built in Android is very generic and buggy.
I would love to unlock the potential of this phone with a custom ROM.
Let me know if this isn't the right place to ask and point me in the right direction!
Lannie
No custom roms at this time, why bother when you can custom Android 9 using Magisk , Xposed and Substratum. Although having a Lineage 17 would be nice.
I ask because the Android on this phone is so buggy and lacking features. I don't see how the options you gave will add features I need. They might as I'm new to these apps and don't know much about them.

If you private message me I cannot get to the messages here. If I click on messages it takes me to the register or reset password every time. I have no way to read them.
At this point it's useless to try since the mediatek drivers no longer work on Windows 10. Not a single guide on installing on Windows 10 64 bit work anymore. If anyone knows how to get the Oukitel drivers to work, let me know. No amount of driver sign or advanced boot works. Every time I plug in the phone it says the previous device malfunctioned.
It worked once and I have never connected the phone since. Will not work.

This might seem obvious, but could never get my PC (Windows10 64bit) to even recognize my Oukitel K9 until I (out of desperation, and to try to prove a point to someone) reinstalled Minimal ADB & Fastboot 1.4.3 from here:
https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool
It's the same thing I had previously installed, and I didn't expect it to suddenly/miraculously start working, but it did.
I'll pm you.

Are their any projects related to the Oukitel K9 phone? I purchased one and use it on the AT&T network here in the USA.
The phone is decent but the built in Android is very generic and buggy.
I would love to unlock the potential of this phone with a custom ROM.
Let me know if this isn't the right place to ask and point me in the right direction!

Thanks, but I sold this phone and went to a Pixel 4 XL. I needed something reliable and InTune refused to work on the old Oukitel.
Has anyone worked out ramdisk partition for Magisk?
Discovery,
Thanks to Phh has developed the perfect ROM for the Oukitel K9. Strangely I have had to try many ROMs to find the perfect one. The Lineage ROM; I had GPS issues, the Recent app button not working, and signal loss. Wanted the latest OS and this one is the winner below.

Llevo un par de semanas probando la rom y no funciona el detector de huellas,se puede mejorar?hay alguna rom(Android 12) mas estable y que todo funcione?,gracias
MOD Edit: I've been testing the rom for a couple of weeks and the fingerprint sensor doesn't work, can it be improved? Is there a more stable rom (Android 12) that makes everything work? Thanks
Try the updated version https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v402
Should resolve the fingerprint issue. I have also tried the AOSP 12.1 v410 and the result is the phone goes into a boot loop. Not sure why when the previous version installs so easily. I have built a custom TWRP 3.6.1 and will be trying it soon. The reason why we need to update; that the TWRP 3.3.1 version is limited and could be the reason why there are install issues with some GSIs out there. The encryption keeps reactivating even if I use scripts, flash no verify-verity. Hopefully, this will work. I'm enjoying the new version too much to start again I will keep you posted.
This one is supreme V411 and distracts me away from my Note 20 Ultra. https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v411 .Works well with the Oukitel K9, recommend to use swapram module for boosting memory 4gb to 8gb. Searching for a working TWRP 3.6.

Have you found better rom for k9? I've used several gsi images but system is very laggy. Yet to find a good fast custom rom for k9.

I've flashed this one and found it is as laggy as CrDroid. I thought it might be due to not wiping data before flashing. Decided to reboot to recovery to wipe data. And.. phone stuck at twrp logo. No go further. Do you have any better TWRP than mine 3.3.1?
Try using the "Yet another Kernel Tweaker" module in Magisk. Through all my searches I could only find the TWRP 3.3.1. Tried building using kitchen but failed. Sometimes the TWRP will take up to 5 to 10 minutes, remember it is trying to decrypt. If it takes longer then SPflash, assuming done correctly with vbmeta. After the initial install the updates and synchronization starts processing. This causes a slow-down. I thought the same. Leave the device for a day to update and synchronize then should be faster.

TWRP logo is for hours here.
Now I can't even enter fastboot after I've chosen reboot to recovery from cherishos power menu.
I hit volup+pwr and boot menu doesn't even show up. Tried 20+ times already.
I'm stuck. The last hope is to wait for it to discharge on twrp logo and try my luck with fastboot menu again.
Otherwise I have no idea. Now I question myself why on Earth I would even try to better something that works at least average ))))

I've managed to revive it. But still on cherishos and few other A13 roms screen is flickering. Have you got something like that?
