Root and Lg g5 mods expectations? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hello guys , i have an lg g5 for 2 weeks , it seems that auto brightness is bad and it only reach 900nit under the sun in summer and for only some secs and then never again , seems buged! I also take a high score on first 3d score on Antutu but on second one i get the lowest of all snap 820 phones thats why lg choose to throttle it right away , so i really wanted a kernel that allows you to extend gpu and cpu throttling temp(oc isnt needed cause will trigger more throttling) , manual brightness up to 900nit and for some more power for the headphones. I also need root for using some more advanced apps. Should i expect this things from Lg g5 ? I couldnt find even a root for it , only official bootloader unlock(no reason to unlock it if i cant root it?). :crying:

If you have an european H850 you can unlock, root and install some custom rom.
At the moment there are no custom kernel, but the brightness bug was solved in Last firmware

Overheating phone almost burns my skin !!!

Hi guys, I need some help,
I have been using Xperia Z2 for the past 8 months and during this time the phone performed well but recent times its starting to give me a lot of problems; The screen had a problem and got it fixed and now I have a huge problem. The phone overheats like crazy when used more than say 10mins straight. It could be a call, messenger, video or camera, I know it has overheating issues with 4K but i never use the 4K feature to record movies. I'm on the latest firmware and lollipop update came via OTA, I can't tell if this is the exact reason but the phone gets so hot that it almost burns my skin !
I have reset the phone and wiped and re-installed everything and this had no effect. I have no warranty as I have paid fully for the phone and left the contract. I don't do gaming or anything processor intensive and yet the phone heats up really bad.
Any solutions apart from taking it to fix somewhere cause I live in Norway and I can buy a new phone for the price of someone looking at the problem cause its that expensive here
What if I have to install a clean stock rom? Any recommendations?
Thanks.

Unlock bootloader, flash custom kernel with the alternative to chooice an aggressive hotplug driver / battery friendly CPU governor and flash a custom ROM.
Solved!
Try downloading watchdog lite and see what is using most cpu.If you find nothing try flashing latest ftf using flashtool,root and debloat.4g/lte could also heat up the phone very fast.

Ok I found how to unlock the bootloader, Please suggest me a good kernal /ROM ?
Thank you
Had the heating issue on the Sony Stock Officail Lollipop ROM, now I'm on AICP with processor underclocked at 1.7GHz, giving great battery life and no heating issues even on high end games.

Check out some of the optimized / customized CM Roms with M5 kernel - rock solid combination.
Or just use the included kernel. Your choice of preference, u know!

Did your camera quality degrade? I'm rooted on LB and I'm underclocked to 1.2ghz, but still overheating.

Camera quality is way better in AOSP, just backup ur drm keys first, UL the BL, and thab try any AOSP or CM based rom.
Did you consider downgrading to kitkat?
I am using kitkat and the phone doesnt really overheat, without any underclocks or anything, unless I play something that is really demanding, such as asphalt 8

By saying the screen got fixed, does that mean the phone's internals were opened? If that is the case than we might have to look for a pysical reason more than a software one.
Besides, in many countries those devices have 1 year warranty, of which is decided and forced by goverments. Since it is your 8th month, you may still have warranty and take your phone to a service (they may blame summer thoguh).

Z2 High CPU temperature

I am running CM12.1 + M5 Kernel UNDERVOLTED
2.3ghz voltage is 0.900v
I am using EX Kernel manager to show my cpu temp in status bar and I am running StabilityTest v2.7 to stress it .
After 5 minutes of continous stress , the cpu temp is 84 celsius degrees , is this normal ? It's possible to be a sensor reading bug in EX Kernel manager ?
after 15 minutes of stress the temp is 91 ? c'mon is this true ? the phone should be untouchable at that temp but is pretty fine lol . Could be temperature sensor bug ? I hope so
Its weird,i remember my cpu hiting 83-85c and shutting down automatically when i used stability test..but.. i had 4 cores overclocked to 2.7ghz on about 1100v so its a bit of imposibility to have 91c on 900mv.. try kernel adiutor mayby?And Believe me it would be hot as hell as i couldn't handle mine during the tests and cpu was 'only' 85

yes , sound weird , it even goes to 93 degree but still running lol
and yes , the case is not that incredible hot
what rom and kernel you use ? I am using CM12.1 and M5 kernel , maybe that's why sensor reading is bugged , also if I use Cpu Temp app I get 9c lower temps :-/
just asking , how did you kill 2 z2 ?
Currently im on existenz 7.0 + androplus kernel v72,but i was also playing with overclocking etc on cm12.1 and m5 kernel v10.2 some time ago. On both i never got higher than 80-85 degrees without shutdown..And its really hard to get that 80 degree on 2265mhz even after about 10 mins of stability test for me. Only get that high temperatures on voltages above 950-1000mv and long tests.Look at my kernel adiutor settings in attachment. It must be a bug with EX kernel. Probably the cpu temp shows right one.
Ah and i killed 2 because i wanted to switch their motherboards.My carrier permamently locks bl and i wanted an unlockable one.It was a stupid thing to do..but it was a long time ago when i didnt knew many things yet

Oh , good to hear that .
And about your 2 dead z2 , sorry for asking too many questions but I am curious when it comes to this stuff because I also disassembled many phones and my Z2 to do some camera improvement . How exactly you killed the motherboard ? some short circuit or physical damage like scratch or crack ?
When i started the phone after replacing the old board with new unlockable one from the other z2 and doing a fresh ftf install it started to boot..and died..permamently.Pc companion,flashtool,even service didnt revive it (they tried testpoint etc.).I tried to put back my old Locked Mb instead and same thing happened.So i sold my main z2 as a non booting and the second one which already had a cracked digitizer (the one from which i took the unlockable mb from) i sold in parts.Not sure why i was so stubborn but i got third one which i use now and it was unlockable since the beginning..

maybe you screwed up some battery pins on that flex and fried some part , no idea , very weird
anyway , good thing to know , not to mess with removing motherboard ... I love the SoC from my phone because it runs stable 2.3ghz with 900mv and this seems to be very rare .
Thanks for the help and also for telling me the story of your 2 phones

Marshmallow Update, Impressions, comparison, found bugs etc.

]Finally is here. Marshmallow 26.3.A.0.131 update bring us so wanted improvements.
Here you can post your thoughts, performance reports, or possible bugs you may found.
First what get better:
1. Overall performance - is so smooth, every menu scroll fast.
2. Camera - i can't confirm, seems little bit better
3. WIFI - Wow so much better, before i was trying couple times until get connected, now is instant.
4. Actual perfomance - I make test with Antutu, Asphalt etc. Is much, much better. Antutu score on Android 5 was around 29 k and 30 k max. Marshmallow wake the beast and score now is 32 k. Asphalt 8 is playable on medium settings, before very low settings was only way to play it normal. Do you know why? CPU isn't limited anymore 4 cores on 1.46 Ghz and 0.8 Ghz for the second 4 cores.
What wasn't fix, or improve:
Apps opening time
Overheating is same as before
Low storage
More perfomance needed
Sites loading is slow as before
I found two bugs, the one bug is in the dialer the letters under the numbers are repositioned a little bit, and idk if this is a bug but the status bar doesn't take the color of the app you are using

I think it's called "feature", you may want to try What's New (Play Store) themes if you'd like colourful status-bar. It looks like that stock themes prefer black status bars now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...ix-stock-mm-themes-black-statues-bar-t3392565
Seems to be a bug, Detect USB device does not make sense without OTG.
The update is fine but a little bit disappointed specially on performance, apps are still opening very slow although UI is faster, at least now we have a better multitasking performance and no more bugs on RAM.
I had about 35k score in Antutu so MM sucks.
Mobile Data got buggy for me, didn't work until restart. Guys what happening with the Speaker it was so loud before now is very reduced i check settings nothing to about it.

Performance will always be the same coz of the ****ty chipset thats inside m4 aqua. Yes, Snapdragon 615 is pile of crap
well, this is my MM result on antutu.

Nope, my M4 Aqua is almost out of the box, 100% stock, bootloader locked, never root, just updated via Xperia Companion a few hours ago.
I don't like the fact that mpdecision is not included in the new update. it gives me huge battery drain.
Anyone have problems with gallery apps? My pictures doesn't render to be watched, only a black screen, the files are ok and the SD Card is new

I also found that speaker was louder and clear on LP plus even have a little bit of distortion at max volume now, and in mi case, performance in 3D games was smoother in LP 3.120 with ondemand CPU governor. It might fix again if i change governor in MM but still not rooted as im waiting for a method for locked bootloader.

Snapdragon 615 does not need it nor it's compatible with mpdecision..
Sony won't be adding any hotplug as they don't make
Custom kernel or drivers.. It's just qualcomm,s fault..
Is somebody else bothered with the weird gap between the signal bars and the battery icon?
Also, does anyone know how can I remove agv Antivirus? I'll appreciate it.
Guys i noticed that the brightest is very low for out side

I like New update, everything seems to work ok, i have made adoptable sfor?ie tru adb (mixed 50) and i am pleased with result. I think rom needs a day or two to settled down... Yesterday i run AnTuTu and obtained 35k scor and today i got 36.7k... maybe tomorrow i'll get 40k... :laugh:
Everything is just great, but i miss the real stamina mode from Sony..

Help,please?

So I'm expecting that My brother's V10 is gonna get bootloop
So I've been thinking to root the v10 and use quad core manager or kernal tuner apps to disable the two big cores of the phone as they are the reason for the bootloop issue (I know that because after disabling the big cores on my LG G4 using G4's big cores disable tool the phone returned back to life)
So is this method gonna work using the quad core manager or kernal tuner apps?
and is it easy to unroot by flashing the stock kdz file?

The screen retention issue and even if it isn't present....Most LG V10 devices are gonna bootloop at some point because of the defective snapdragon 808 so I'm gonna take precautions or sell it

Is my LG G5 about to catch fire?...

I got a second hand perfect condition lg g5 ls988 rather cheap... All seems perfect... New condition pretty much... Unlocked bootloader and installed lineage os and typhoon kernel, did antutu test and scored really well... But I'm having one huge issue..... HEAT....
This thing had climbed into the 80c range for cpu... While gaming on a rather non aggressive app called arcane legends.. And I don't know what is going on.... Even on light use seems to hit 55c+ can barely touch the phone at times...
Even on stock it seems to get very hot... Also I can not use stock kernel because I believe this device suffers screen burn in and I have to use custom kcal settings to prevent this... Which means kernel much support it...
Hopefully I can get some help.. I really like this phone but the heat is insane...
Sent from my LG-RS988 using Tapatalk
Have you sorted out the heat issue yet? It seems to me that the issue is with typhon kernel. I'm not sure if this is fixed in the last update to the kernel, which didn't get built for the rs988, or not. Although I never had much of an issue with heat on stock so it may be something else.
