Does Samsung publish a hash file so I can make sure it's unmolested?
Thanks, took 10 seconds to transfer.

the site is going through maintenance- just wait until monday when it is finished
All Samsung odin files are md5 files. when you put them in odin. odin first hashchecks the file before flashing. The first things it tries to flash is the bootloader and other important bits. which take about 3 to 4 seconds. that fails if the files and phone do not match. its all very safe.
MD5 doesn't guarantee that this is an unmodified image, it only guarantees the integrity of the download.
I flashed the Sammobile version of this yesterday, so far so good. I simply flashed it without wiping and rebooted, and all my apps, homescreen, etc, were still intact. Wifi calling was also back, it had disappeared on the previous build, no idea why. I then booted back into download mode and flashed TWRP & SU. Took about 15 minutes in total.
I'm currently on CM13. What's the quickest/easiest method to get the modem update?
I have a nandroid of stock. I suppose I could restore that, use ODIN on PC to flash stock recovery, update firmware, and flash back to TWRP.
Is there a faster way or a method that doesn't require a computer? Does Mobile ODIN work for this?
Nandroid, download the update from Sammobile and flash it with Odin, install TWRP, flash CM13, don't wipe. Don't know if mobile works. You don't need stock recovery. /data is not touched by the update, so no need to wipe or restore it.
Instead of flashing CM13, I could just restore the system from the nandroid, right? I have a lot of system apps that I would need to set up again otherwise.
Sure would be nice if we could flash just the modem update with Mobile Odin.
Yes. Why do you run CM13?

I had been waiting for bugs to be worked out of 14.1, and for xposed to support it. I've decided that 13 is now too far behind in security updates, so I've just installed 14.1. Hoping I don't have to go without xposed for too long.
I should have been more specific in my question! Why run CM at all rather than a debloated Samsung rom? I used to run CM in the early days, but gave up a long time ago because of the problems with proprietary drivers. There's always something that doesn't work, or doesn't work as well as a rom based on stock.
All the features work for me without problems on CM13. The phone is a bit snappier too.
I gave up on stock because TouchWiz is too limiting. I uses the flashlight a lot, and with TW you have to put a shortcut on the homescreen. On CM, I can put a shortcut on the lockscreen, or swipe down the notifications bar while on the lockscreen and use a notification button. I also leave my screen on for extended times when doing things like cooking. CM has had the notification button, for years, that lets you change the screen timeout.
I don't think TW has a single feature I actually use.
Anyway, I'm back to CM13 for now. CM14 still has a few bugs I don't like. Primarily, a bug were I sound really far away on a phone call.
You just don't know how to use TW! The notification shortcuts are configurable, you can move the flashlight button to the top, and it also works on the lockscreen. With xposed, you can also change the size of the icons and add more of them to the initial drop-down.
I'm aware that the notification shortcuts are configurable. The flashlight wasn't even an option as a notification shortcut or lockscreen button on stock MM 6.0.1.
It is on mine. All four versions of 6.01 I've used, including a modified rom.

Welcome to wilson3q's CM12 Unoffical Build!
As requested by some users, I started to build cm12 for I605. I don't own a I605, please help to test. If you like my work, you can donate here.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for bad things that happen as a result of flashing this.
My kernel source is standard cm12 kernel without any modifications.
SaberMod tool chain source is HERE.
All the rests are pretty standard cm12 stuffs, except a few patches I applied on top of them.

If you need enable soft buttons, flash this: View attachment softkeys.zip or soft+hardkeys.zip
[Flashing Guide]
1. Reboot to CWM/TWRP recovery
2. Flash ROM zip file
3. Flash Gapps
4. Reboot
* Wipe data first if you come from another rom *
* Newer boot loader, modem and recovery is highly recommended (don't use twrp 2.8.4, use 2.8.1 instead) *
* No other kernel will be supported, use the stock one, for your best experiences too *
[Patches]

Enhancements and bug fixes cherry-picked from other ROMs, including Slim LP, Nameless
SaberMod for ROM and kernel
O3, JustArchi optimization

Always nice to see a new thread for i605. This doesn't happen often. Thank you!
Thanks again for building this for us we all appreciate it!
will be testing this out and see how it spars. thanks for this! I was going to try and "port" it over from the t0lte with replacing some libs and such, lol.
Thank you! I'm downloading right now. Looking like a slow day at work, so why not?
Downloaded files. Backed everything up. Rebooted to recovery. Wiped / Factory Reset using TWRP. Installed both zips sequentially. Apprehensive when I rebooted. Took a couple of minutes of sweating watching the CM Logo swirl around, and then bam! I'm up and running Lollipop. I'll update soon...

So, I've got it up and running. It's fast and smooth, but there's a couple of glaring issues stopping me from testing any farther. The first screen that comes up after you initially select your language, is a new (to me) "Activating Cellular Service" screen. It has a message on the screen saying this "can take up to 5 minutes". I let it go for longer than that, but I got an error that it was unable to activate and I was able to try again, or skip it. I'll skip it for now just to see how the rest of the ROM works. Next screen is Wifi login, works fine., but you still have to hit "skip" even after you sign in to wifi.
Then it checks connections, for updates, etc and I keep getting the error that google play services has stopped. I haven't even logged into it yet...
Next screen is Tap N Go. Option to transfer all of your stuff off your old phone using NFC. Great idea, but I'm not testing because my new phone IS my old phone.
Then, it's google login time. Worked fine, standard stuff we're used to with options to download/backup your apps using google. It takes a minute here, and I kept getting popups about all of the google apps stopping, each individually. Annoying a bit... I hit the "RESTORE" option, this is my second try, and the first time I didn't have Root, so I couldn't download Titanium to restore everything. I also skipped the google restore last time, so I tried it this time. This is a new screen for me, but it takes me to a "Restoring" screen for a bit. It's not as annoying as on previous Android versions, having to individually approve each app that was updating/downloading. I keep getting the popups about one Google app or another stopping.
I get past the restore page, and the phone locks up. Reboot... After reboot, I have to go into the play store to download Titanium. It seems quite a few apps were restored by Google, but not all. I looked at the "My Apps" section of the play store, and there's a ton of apps cued up to download. It's what I was trying to avoid... So I hit "Stop" at the top, and it stops them all.
**I mentioned earlier that this is my 2nd try, the first try was about the same, but I didn't have root access. I downloaded SuperSU, but it wouldn't update the binaries, so it was useless. I tried SuperUser, it didn't work either. So, I rebooted to recovery, wiped, flashed the ROM, GApps, and the SuperSU zip I had saved on my SD card from my previous Omni Rom. Then I rebooted and now you can read what happened.
At this point, I'm having problems downloading Titanium Backup, SuperSU, or anything I really want. The Play Store is hanging and force closing. I can't even open the SuperSU I flashed from TWRP. There must be compatibility issues. I read somewhere that Lollipop has issues with root somehow, but I'm not sure. On my first try, I was able to download Titanium Backup no problem, but it wouldn't work because I didn't have root access. SuperSU and SuperUser didn't help after downloading. CM has always been pre-rooted on all of the other devices I've installed it on.
For now, I'm just going to restore my backup of Omni Rom and be content with 4.4.4 for now.
I'll try again if anyone can help with actually being on the VZW Network and Root. I didn't get a chance to play with the other stuff in Lollipop yet, but I would love to.

Giving this a try!! Downloading now
Update- Downloaded and installed without any problems. I did have to skip the network verification set-up as it never went anywhere and wifi set-up worked as with setting up my g-mail account,.
Everything seems good except for no service, baseband version still unknown and no service or apn's for data.
going back to Liquid till this gets updated.

I have to re-flash to Liquid for now so that I have a working phone as I go to work in an hour,
Again let me know if you need any more details
Same on this build baseband unknown so no data

Yes, I flashed the gapps from your post. gapps-lp-20141109 is what the file name was. I use TWRP, not sure if it's the latest but it works fine. I always do the "factory reset" wipe option in twrp, because I believe that's a full wipe with one swipe... Now, just to test it out and see if I was doing something wrong, I tried the Liquid Smooth build (latest nightly) from 1/7, and it loaded and booted just fine. Had to flash the ROM, Gapps, GPS Fix, and Super SU (so I can restore my apps in Titanium). It connected to data, and ran me through the setup in a flash. It's working well enough to be a daily driver. Do you have any other suggestions? I'm willing to help if you want me to try something else.
Going to give this a try. Thank you for giving this phone options. It is greatly appreciated.

I love to flash and then go through a process of testing. I actually got 2 gt-n5110s so I could test a couple builds at same time, kind of a back to back comparison.
I would love to pick up another i650 that still has unlocked bootloader for testing that way on this device as well.
Well back to this rom, I couldn't get past the getting data screen and had to abort. I did a clean flash and wiped everything with both philz and TWRP 2.8.3.0. I tried both stock and shift kernels.
Lets face it, I'm a flashaholic. lol.....

PLEASE use the
Q&A FAQ and HOW TO so we can keep the development thread for development purposes.
Post your questions and Myself or other knowledgeable users of Sac23 ROMS will answer as quickly as possible.

Like it or not...
It is best to clean flash ... each version ! ! !
Grow some and get over it....
I recommend to always flash fresh and clean... or you leave yourself open for trouble...
move /copy all important data to ext SD and/or PC... stuff happens especially if formatting.
wipe everything...including internal SD..(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to Format internal SD) AND FORMAT if coming from another rom.
Install ROM
do not install any apps yet....
let the rom settle about 30 minutes
Try out all the usual things to see if you have issues...
if not...
load up your app

Help?
Alright i flashed and got the rom working. Nice neet and fast. Wifi connected off the bat. and though all was good. Till i turned off the Wifi and tried to Text/Call/Mobile network.
Nothing.
goto Settings/More connection settings look for Mobile networks tab.
Not there?
i Flashed over from Priest Punch v1.1 did full wipe/flash and rom loads but that part is missing.
checked the Device Status and shows the Baseband/IMEI and all that is missing.
Flashed my recovery.tar.md5 file ive had since this is like the 4th time flashing this thing. Reboot.
Baseband is now set at N900PVPUCNC5 got my IMEI number too. but still not mobile network setting in the More Settings.
Edit: Flashed a OC5 .md5 and still nothing about to just reinstall again.
Edit2: Ok reinstalled and downloading a stock OC5 firmware going to take awhile to get it downloaded. the one i found was not a stock oc5
Edit 3: OK after installing N900PVPUEOC5_N900PSPTEOC5_N900PVPUEOC5_HOME.tar.md5 and then reinstalling rom i still don't have the Mobile network setup. when i Flash the md5 and restarted it connected to sprint and i had service but was getting Google service has stopped errors nonstop. so i reinstalled you rom and it looks like it flashed the baseband back to a previous version. no idea whats going on here.
After Spending the entire morning and part of the afternoon i have to give up and say that my phone won't accept OC5 baseband. I have flashed the stock OC5 update 5x and it refuses to change the Baseband to OC5 and seems stuck on NC5. I have successfully installed [ROM] [N900PVPUEOC5] [100% Stock, Pre-Rooted, Busybox, Deodexed, No KNOX] [6/11/2015] and it is fully functional but still shows the NC5 baseband. I am at a loss here.
Edit: Ok got it working. Had to do a Full system wipe from recovery. pull battery and wait 10 seconds. Boot up to Download and an Flash the new OC5. boot up and let phone start. and redo this 2x for it to finally take the OC5 after that root and install of Rom went easy without a hitch.
any help with this would be nice.
What is the "potato clock" in the alternate status bar...?
Also, will I have to program a home button function?
Where is the roaming setting at in this rom and how do i actvate it i flahed the update already still cant find it ive even been comparing to my wifes s6 no lick any help would be great
Is this ROM deodexed?
I cannot get my network to work. I switched it to CDMA/LTE but my Sprint APN service is unchecked. Its also greyed out so I can't enable it. I tried that one thing when you add something to your build prop but that also didn't work. It just madr the settings disappear. When I finally found my Access Point Settings it still didn't work all I could do was add another APN but it would be unchecked and greyed out. Can anyone help CM12.1 won't let me use my Gear 2 and it's just making me waste 199.99(bought it on no tax day)

Is it recommended to not log into Google until after the first 30 minutes to prevent the apps from automatically downloading and installing? Also if so, once I log in will they start or will I need to go in and install one by one?
Here's a Stockish ROM for your N915P. This ROM has Knox, Sprint ItsOn, and secure storage removed. Nothing else was done to this ROM. I'm new to the Note Edge so I may upload patches to remove any other traces of Knox or ItsOn or optimizations I happen to find while making my own ROM.

[size=+3]DeOdex note:[/size]
The first boot time for this DeOdex ROM is very long. Approximately 5-8 minutes. Your phone will get hot as the splash screen remains on the yellow Sprint boot animation. I recommend keeping your phone in a cool environment while this is happening. The heat, if not properly checked, can make boot times even longer as the system throttles speed in order to deal with the heat. This doesn't happen on the Odex version.
[size=+3]Install instructions:[/size]
-Are you currently on the OC8 bootloader and would like to stay on it?
--Simply flash the baseband with Odin, and the ROM.
-Are you on the update from OTA or flashed the OG1 TAR?
--Flash kernel only.
-Are you one of the unlucky ones to take the OTA and hose your system trying to root and are now on another ROM?
--Flash ROM only.
-Are you on any build after OC8 but not the current OG1?
--Flash the baseband and ROM. Bootloader is optional and not available in this thread as of yet.
Wiping is only necessary if you are coming from a different base, such as AOSP/CM. If you are coming from a touchwiz ROM, wiping isn't needed, but won't hurt.
Changelog:
9/5/15: Initial Release.
Kernel source code: Download
Thanks, will flash tomorrow.
Thank you so much freeza!! Patiently waiting for the deodexed version and for the baseband.
Added modified stock kernel v1.1 and baseband.
Freeza if I'm on 5.0.1 still just flashing the baseband may give me better service ? Technically...
Downloading now still waiting on the deodex will play with the stock to see how it is thanks
Ok, flashed rom, kernel, and modem. Took a while to boot but all is running well at the moment. Thanks for supporting our device!!
DeOdex uploading....
What What!!! By far the best developer on a Samsung!! Thank you so much for your hard work brother!! Real Talk, i still have your rom on my Note 3! It runs flawlessly!! XD
Get your DeOdex on, guys! ;D
Thanks so much for this!!! I love the separate edge screen and have no reason to "upgrade" to the Note 5
Thank you freeza NICE WORK WITH THE KERNEL
When I saw you had been requested to come help this phone achieve root I knew great things were going to come to those who waited. I've had other devices where you were there to help gain root and again you came through. I purposely didn't take the OG1 update because I knew in time this device wasn't going to be ignored. IMO it is the best NOTE device out there and it will be mine until they make a NOTE EDGE 2 (With SD card and removable battery). Thank you for the quick response and the hard work you do to make this happen.
Cant get either one of them to boot. Both the odex and the deodex wont boot, they both flash fine and then after the phone reboots it stays on the yellow sprint screen Maybe for up to a minute then reboots and it cycles that way. Never boots. I've tried not wiping/Factory restarting as well as wiping/Factory resetting. Have also tried formatting through TWRP to no avail. Have also tried flashing the kernel and wiping caches after flashing but Nothing is working. Have also flashed the baseband.
Im currently on OF6 if that should matter.
Edit: md5 Sums have also match up. Have downloaded both from my phone and a pc to no avail.
Edit 2: tried both TWRP 2.8.6.0 and 2.8.7.0. Also tried clockworkmod recovery and that didn't work either.
I had success but it took some time. I downloaded the deodexed debloated rom, the kernel, and the baseband. I had a method to how I wanted to do this and here is how i got there.
I was running OC8 rom rooted.
1. I odened the baseband tar file and rebooted. But unfortunately it bootlooped on the initial splash screen (note edge) so
2. I ran TWRP recovery and installed the kernel file. Rebooted phone and it ran fine. I looked at the settings about phone and saw that the baseband and the rom all said OG1 but i had not installed the rom yet. So i figure it was a trick to get the baseband to install. So
3. I went back into recovery. Wiped dalvik cache and regular cache and installed the new rom. It installed fine and i waited the length of time for the initial boot up. But this time as it was "Android is starting" it rebooted and got stuck on the sprint splash screen and kept randomally vibrating. Having the ability to remove the battery
4. Rebooted back into recovery, wiped everything including internal storage, and reinstalled the deodexed rom. It installed fine and went to the initial startup screen where it tries to initialize and it rebooted one time, back to the initialize screen but continued without a hitch.
I currently am running OG1 5.1.1. With root.
At times during setting up the phone it would randomally vibrate for no reason...short bursts...but it hasn't yet again rebooted, restarted, or crashed. It is faster from what i see. Probably because there are almost no google apps installed. I've had to install chrome, youtube, and maps. But all seems fine. My signal and speeds are the same so the baseband didn't do much to change that. But so far so good.

I did try to install over my odexed OC8 with this new rom but because there is so much different about the files that are installed IMO formatting the phone was the only way to get this to work.

One final thing just in case it isn't known: when you wipe everything in TWRP, excluding external storage, you have to restart the recovery before trying to install a rom. It will say you have no OS installed, but you are restarting the recovery not booting a rom, so that's fine, but you do lose root status when wiping. So the next screen gives you the ability to gain root again, but you have to restart TWRP to do that. In the past i tried to figure out why installing after wiping didn't work, and 99% of the time it was because of that. I also don't like installing new roms over older roms (even if they are the same base (touchwiz to touchwiz)) because i feel I would spend more time troubleshooting why something isn't working instead of just starting over. I find less hassle doing it this way.
I odin baseband .tar file, than reboot it to recovery, and flash kernal and odex room at the same time, saw some red messages when kernel was flashing, than odex rom was next but it was successful when it was done. (I did not know if kernel falsh ok so i reflash kernel again) reboot to system and after the android system updated all its ok. No problems so far.
Oh and i inclided the supersu at the same time i flash kernel, odex rom and supersu.
1. Odin baseband tar file.
2. Flash kernel, odex rom and supersu.
3. Re-flash kernel.
4. Reboot to system and profit.
(Maybe i did un necessary steps, but its working. )
Was running great but have been experiencing Google account and store issues. Tried odex and deodex versions with similar results. Anyone else having issues?

Just starting to have random freezing. And not able to select my apps froms the edge screen, i can only scroll through it. Will remove all the app shorcuts and re-add tham again.
**update 1.
I removed all shorcuts from the edge screen and added them back, all work but some i have to select them a few times before they open.
Maybe i have to reflash, reset, clean and wipe.
**update 2.
Clean install of odex rom, and kernal 1.1.
No more lagg but the edge screen does not work properly. Not able to select and open some of the favorite app shorcuts.
**update 3.
Factory reset, cleaned and wype, odin sprint lollipop update (uf something), downloaded OG1 update. Installed all apps from scratch. And the edge screen does not work. I can scroll, side to side, up and down, but when i select an app it does not open it.
** update (last one)
Foud the code to test the phone hardware.
*#0*# on dial screen. Tested all and it came out good. But i notice that some how the edge screen its not as whide as it used to be ( like its more to the right of the phone) so where i use to touch to select an app its now more to the right emd of the edge, thats why i was able to scroll but not select the app.
Its all good now. Now second round of flashing.
Will give it another try at the room.
Thanks Freeza and sorry about the problems i had and hopefully did not cause anyone from not trying this great work pr yours.
I left all the problems i had so tje next person trying this room does not get discureged from trying. But allways fallow direction.
:thumbup:
** last update
After setting and resetting, flashing and un-flashing, rooting and un-rooting. I can finally wrote that all is good. Running latest lollipop 5.1.1 and freeza's new 1.1 kernel, I can reprt that all is smooth as butter.
Thanks for the hard work.
Thank you so much for your hard work Freeza! So glad I'm finally running 5.1.1 on this beast :]
The ROM is working pretty well, but I have noticed that every now and then, the phone will be rather laggy. Turning the screen off and on again seems to fix the issue, making me think that the processor is being throttled while the screen is off (good) but isn't being sped back up when the screen is turned on..sometimes.
It's not a huge deal, but I was wondering if anyone was experiencing the same thing.
No issues here.
Starting on OG1 had to flash bootloader, kernel, deodex rom and supersu to make it stick. Two days now and battery, signal and speed seem improved.
Thanks freeza!
Hi all, I have a Z5C E8305, it just updated to 7.1.1 latest release xx.160.
Since then my battery lasts much less, everything is leggy, even whatsapp or camera, and for instance, switching out from chrome and going back again, lost the current page and caused a reload (before it didn't, for example for form completing).
I tried Sony companion for a repair, and it is actually much less leggy, but still slow, higher ram usage, battery drains and chrome cache resets and is slow on window switching (actually any window reloads when switching now) and slow icon loading when hiding all windows.
I read a lot through rooting but it is way too painful (unlocking bootloader, rooting, wrtp or clocked flash boot plus flash new room, too much for me and it didn't really work smoothly when I tried)
What is the next thing I can do? I wouldn't mind using either LineageOS if it is easy to install otherwise I'll be gold with 7.0 again
Thanks,
Jv

LineageOS is definitely better right now for most things than the official 7.1.1. I actually just switched from LineageOS 7.1.1 to stock 7.1.1, hated it, and actually downgraded to stock 6.0.1 with Xposed. I feel like that gives me the most control, but I might switch back to LineageOS depending on if they start doing nightlies or anything interesting like that.

I'd love to try it, but unlocking bootloader plus installing a new one (clockwork or the other one), plus the mix up between my non-standard edition E8305 and most current release not being any guides up-to date. Its daunting for a newcomer like me.
I saw on Sony's website forums that a factory reset helped with battery and memory usage. I am going to try that when I have a few days off as the lag is annoying me. But I also have audio stutters when listening to music and audio books now.

Clean install is your best bet in fixing most issues
Factory reset helped at first but after a week of using it it became slow again
No matter what I did, full wipe in FlashTool included, 7.1.1 never had any free ram and I could only background one, maybe two apps. Everything was slower than I've ever seen in a stock rom in any device I've owned!
Currently I've reverted to 6.0.1 and it provides a pleasing combination of speed, battery life, and tweakability with xposed.
Yesterday I took a gander at patching the one xposed feature I actually need into 7.0, but I gave up after a few hours. Maybe I'll try another weekend sometime, but writing/debugging smali is painful! I think I'll just stay on 6 for now and hope xposed makes it to 7 someday!

1. Just backup everything you need (backing up whole apps isnt recommended though when you switch android versions).
2. Download and install Flashtool.
3. Open XperiFirm from inside Flashtool, select and download the firmware you need. It will bundle it automatically in a flashable ftf file.
4. Once you are sure you backed up everything, flash away.
Wipe everything. If you have TWRP and dont want to lose it, dont wipe FOTAKernel.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

I did this; copied from the sony forums:
"Android 7.1.1 is not the culprit, but the recently updated Movie Creator app!
1: Disable MOVIE CREATOR
2: Reboot in SAFE MODE
(while phone is on, press Power button, hold Reboot option for 1 second)
3: Reboot again to normal mode
4: Enjoy 2 days of standby time"
My phone seems much better now.
I also disabled the Sony music app as I was having audio troubles, but not sure if it was necessary.

You guys think the guilty was the movie creator? My phone was barely usable. Full ram usage, battery drain and everything was laggy and hanging
what was firmware just prior to 32.4.A.0.160 (7.1.1) ???
Hello could you kind folks please guide me what was official (not rooted) Sony Z5C firmware prior to the above monster? I want to go back but don't know which one it was? Please link me to official version just before this latest ( 32.4.A.0.160 (7.1.1)) NASTY update! Many Thanks.

Yes, surprisingly.
I went from ~15MB of free memory (and the associated problems complained about: laggy transitions, program openings, home page icons, etc). back to ~250-300MB free and typical performance.
Actually usable performance is a little better given they have one of the cortex A57's more aggressively clocked.
I'd try. You can always restore if you desperately want Movie Creator and see no benefit.

What about the issue with browser page reloading every time you switch to a different app and then back again to the browser? OP reported this issue, and I've been having it, too. Did that get resolved for you with the disabled Movie Creator crap?

Google "Flashtool" - it's literally the first result there. Also, Flashtool has XperiFirm, which can download almost all firmwares for Xperias and pack them into ftf format automatically.

About This Rom
This is a debloated stock rom based on stock F800K_30H. Most likely the last update the V20 will get.
Installation Procedure for F800 L/K/S
Download the F800***.7z to a PC and extract with 7-zip app on Windows PC or the equivalent on OSX / Linux . This will expand to a single 6GB system.img file. Copy over to internal storage on your device.
Update TRWP recovery to 3.4.x.x using TWRP.
Download also the F800 boot imgage and F800K-ezv2020.zip kernel.
Downloads for : LG V20 | AndroidFileHost.com | Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
Boot into twrp and flash the system image.
Install>Install_Image(bottom right)>navigate to system.img file and select system image partition.
Repeat the same procedure for the boot.img, flash on boot partition.
Flash ezV2020 Kernel and then Magisk. Done.
If you are coming from Oreo download also the Pie partitions and flash that first, then as above. Also wipe data so have your apps backed up.
In the case your were already on PIE no need to wipe data but do wipe Dalvik / ART cache and Cache in TWRP before reboot. Device will be slow for a while and will speed up as Dalvik cache is rebuilt in the background. Sometimes that can take a while especially if you don't let the device rest.
==========================================================
Update Nov 2022: You now need to flash in twrp this Chrome update to pass initial setup screen after phone reset or fresh flash.
F800 - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Release v2
This is based on K rather than L for no good reason (new: flash the K partitions in my repo and ezv2020 K kernel), but makes no difference as all carrier apps have been deleted. This is a 'start again' version rather than an update to ver 1 and is recommended to update due to reports of better performance.
Added
QLens
V30 and G6 themes ( I like the black one with dark grey accents)
Sim unlock app (I think it's for phones locked to sim, not sure if it is or if it works)
Wap Push Service (for carrier settings sent via text msg)
Collage Wallpapers from G6 - only works on Lock Screen, dunno why, i'll try fix.
LG Smart World. You must hide it in Magisk first, then software update. Don't know how to change Korean language, sorry.
If you don't care for any of these additions delete them from /system/product/app , using a root browser
RCT (root check tool) remover has already been applied.
Known issues (minor)
Touch screen is not responsive after coming out of Laf Download Mode at times. To recover this simply reboot into recovery and reboot. It's not that serious and doesn't occur after a normal reboot. You just need to be aware of the fix in case you experience it.
If you have any apn issues do the 'reset apn settings to default' in the apn settings menu. Cuz my carrier apn didn't show up initially.
==========================================================
After 3 flashed now your files worked. By one hour without reboot or chrash. Pie is very nice and you have super debloated the stock rom. Only calendar app Google crash. Normally i used lg calendar. Congratulations. Saturday i will test with my sim

Install Mixploer from here http://mixplorer.com/
Download the attachment provided and extract the folder to Internal Storage
Using Mixplorer copy and paste the Folder named LGCalendarProvider to...

(you may be asked to grant root permission here)
Make sure you can see the LGCalendarProvider Folder is in priv-app folder, now reboot.
Google calendar is working for me now.
Thank you. I did not try mobile data but i crossflashed and can confirm that everything else works, including wifi on the H910. I'm so excited to have stock pie with root on the V20.

Thanks for that. It might be just the modem that is needed. Can you get into download mode after flashing the partitions? Be careful. That is why I said in the OP don't flash Pie Partitions on non-F800 although you may not have seen that as I added it later.
I have a zip somewhere to flash back oreo partitions. I'll upload it later.
edit: just checked my us996, fingerprint is working fine without flashing pie partitions. Please delete your edit as I don't want anyone flashing pie partitions on non-f800 devices because of the laf download problem.
I will have to figure out what exactly is going on but until then I don't support of advise anyone to flash Pie partitions on any non-F800 device.
I can get into download mode but the screen is static. Dont really care, tbh, because this is my spare phone. As long as i have stock pie and TWRP, i'm happy.

Ah good. Because there was an issue with the new Pie LG LAF (download mode) not being detected in LGUP. Experienced that myself. The danger is then if you accidentally deleted TWRP or somehow got corrupted there would be no way to ever flash the phone again and you'd be stuck with what you have. That is why I'm being extra cautions.
Note:
I still don't advise anyone to flash pie partitions on non-f800. There are so many variants it's not certain or knowable if all will be okay for all of them.
Just to confirm, for the us996 we need to flash the f800L_30H_BOOT img, oreo4pie and the f800L_30H_Debloated right?

You need to do exactly the same as you did last time. Sorry I haven't gotten around to providing instructions, I'll do it soon. The part you are missing is you need to flash the us996-ezv2020 pie kernel after you flash the f800l_boot.img. Do not flash the partitions for non-f800.

Ahh okay, thx for letting me know
Edit: So i flashed it and at first it was very stable but then it crashed to that green apps watchdog bark, i then rebooted and it crashed and showed the purple secure watchdog bite screen a couple of seconds after unlocking the phone. not sure if this is relevant but when it crashed it was downloading about 40 apps, and i was trying to log into instagram. Maybe it was just a fluke, i'll see if it happens again
Edit2: So i rebooted and everything seems fine again
Edit3: okay so it crahsed again, same thing happened, it crashed to the green watchdog bark screen although this time it went from that screen to the purple watchdog bite screen without rebooting or anything. When it crashed, i went to unlock it and it froze while i was unlocking the phone
Could this have anything to do with the fact that my phone was originally a vs995? Cuz i converted it to a us996, I noticed that there was a vs995 pie kernel, should i flash that and see if the crashes stop? I'm not too sure if it would do anything especially since i was running alpha omega oreo with your us996 oreo kernel just fine but it's worth a shot but just to be sure, for now i'll reflash the us996 kernel again and see if the crashes return
update: It worked fine for the past hour but crashed to the watchdog bite screen again, i'll try flashing the vs995 pie kernel and see if the crashes stop. Okay so i successfully flashed it, now i just have to wait and see
Update: success, 2 hours with no crashes, the vs995 pie kernel fixed my issue
T.L.D.R: I flashed the us996 kernel on my vs995 converted to a us996 which in theory should have worked but didn't, which resulted in random crashes
Although the fingerprints worked after flashing the f800 partitions on my h910, the kernel would constantly crash. So i pulled modem from my oreo dump and flashed it in TWRP. This time fingerprint stopped working but my phone hasn't crashed in hours. I also inserted a sim card to test mobile data, it did not work. However, i was able to make phone calls and send a text message. Thank you so much for this rom.

That's odd. My device is the same as yours. A vs995 crossflashed to us996. Had no issue with the us996_santa-ezV2020 kernel. Hasn't crashed once, working very well, very fast and smooth.
I have uploaded the us996 oreo partitions as a flashable zip, if you or anyone needs it. Say you want to flash back oreo easily. If staying on Pie you'd have flash back the F800 boot.img and us996 kernel.
No need to do anything yourself if it's working fine.

Yea i was also confused, especially since i was running your oreo kernel just fine with alpha omega but it worked, Either way this rom is running very smooth and fast. I also did a geekbench 5 run and to my surprise, it preforms better with a single core score of 340 and multi core of 704 compared to 286 single and 636 multicore, But anyways thx for developing this for us v20 users

You could try flashing the modem only. The pie modem, in twrp. I'd be curious to know what would happen. I have just uploaded it. Worth a try. The fingerprint for some reason uses files in the modem partition. Why there are there I don't know.
Be advised everyone all this mixing and matching pie with oreo may result in unforeseeable negatives. We can only know what works by trial and error. And, your welcome!

You didn't get the us996Santa oreo and Pie us996Santa kernels mixed up did you? That would defiantly cause a crash if you put Oreo kernel on Pie. I think the vs995 and us996 kernels are interchangeable anyway. Little difference between some of them.
I don't bother with the benchmarks myself, I can just tell by the fluidity of the device if it's better! Not surprised by the results given what I'm experiencing.

Yea i double checked, i flashed the us996 pie kernel twice actually, but had the same results
Okay so before i added anything, i tried to open the alexa app again, this time it worked fine and didn't cause my phone to crash, so this time i'm going to open a lot of apps and see if that will trigger the crash
Edit: nope, that did not cause it to crash either, i have no idea what's causing the crashes, maybe it has something to do with the cache because i remember when i tried rebooting after the second crash, it was stuck at the boot animation, it only rebooted after i cleared delvik and cache. Maybe the cache is getting corrupted after a while?
Update: Phone has been running fine for 1 day
Update2: Phone crashed this morning while scrolling to instagram, these crashes seem to be happening at random. Only thing the crashes have in common is that it would happen roughly every 20 hours to a day. Sometimes if i'm unlucky it just repeatedly crashes after a couple of reboots
Update3: Okay yea theres something funny going on with the cache because, i went to the gallery to look at some videos that i know would play but when i tried to play them it kept saying something went wrong, tried a reboot but still the same result. and when i'd watch videos on instagram they looked corrupted, tried force stopping and clearing the cache but still the same result. reboot didn't help either, only thing that fixed those issues was clearing the cache and delvik in twrp
Update: So i have found a temporary solution which is to clear the cache and delvik every once in a while
Idk if this is relevant but what did you come from before flashing this cuz i came from oreo so idk if that could have anything to do with the issue
