Hi all! I bought the X820 for my girlfriend and I arrived some days ago.
I installed Mokee and SlimROM and both have the same problem: If I pinch to zoom, from the beginning of zoom slider until almost the end, the displayed image is not correct (anfter taking the photo, the saved image is correct).
I don't know if this is a bug of certain roms, a misconfiguration of my setup... I just realized that the problem disappears if image resolution is changed to anythind 16:9. Once again, idk if this is a known issue or not, you tell me.
Other thing I'd like to ask is what is the best rom in you opinion. As I said before, I have installed Mokee and SlimROM so far. I'd like to know what's the most stable and battery friendly rom.
Thank you!
Heyyo, that digital zoom bug is present on custom Nougat and Oreo ROMs for many camera apps. I'm unsure if it's because they enforce camera HAL2 when LeEco never updated to it or if it's the camera shims.
Certain camera apps though don't suffer this issue such as CAMU... So yeah, it's an odd bug.
For most stable and battery friendly? I'd say OmniROM Nougat is definitely that since the focus of OmniROM Nougat is stability and it is pretty decent for battery life, especially if you use Greenify with root and APK profiles such as Project X.A.N.A. battery.
Otherwise? SlimRoms has been pretty darn good for a balance of stability, battery and performance.

Oh also if she wants apps that require passing SafetyNet checks? You'll want to install Magisk 14.3 and Universal SafetyNet fix for the Le Max 2.
I know 14.5 is latest but it's a bit experimental since it has some major changes which still require testing hence I recommend 14.3 or 14.0 stable.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
After Magisk is flashed via TWRP? Reboot into your ROM and then reboot to TWRP and flash this Magisk module
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/themes/magisk-how-to-pass-safetynet-check-t3617017/amp/
Now Google Play Store should show under settings that the device is certified.
Example of apps that require SafetyNet is Nintendo apps and Netflix. There's other games and apps that also require it but not 100% sure which ones but a Google search should reveal a list.

I installed 14.5 and she is using only Netflix (I mean apps that require SafetyNet). I only had to hide root using Magisk Hide and it works fine. IDK if it's just Netflix what is needed to be hidden or other Android apps too but I hid some Android things (Android Shared Library and others) and now even Play Store reports as "Certified" :angel: (sadly Magisk doesn't pass SafetyNet test D: )

First off, T-Mobile version H932 rooted with bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed.
I was a long time user of Cyanogenmod/Lineage on other platforms in the past and overall prefer AOSP based ROMS that are close to stock. So, I have tried PixelExperience, Lineage, and LiquidRemix on my V30. I like them all but overall I like LiquidRemix the best mostly due to some of the LiquidLounge options.
However, I have 3 things I miss. I could probably do without them but I think my overall usefulness of the phone is better when I have them.
1. WiFi Calling - I have poor coverage in my office until TMO deploys Band 12 or Band 71 in my area. Not on schedule for almost a year yet.
2. OK Google support. I have tried numerous things to get this working on all 3 of the custom roms but it simply does not. Sounds like a MIC volume issue currently in all AOSP based ROMS on the V30. I use Android Auto (with a headunit) and not having this is kind of a pain.
3. Google Pay NFC support. I installed Magisk on all 3 custom ROMS but never could get it to fully pass all the safetynet checks.
As for running Stock. I know it would fix 1&2 above, but if I kept the device rooted and bootloader unlocked I am not sure #3 would be fixed. However, I can deal with that. What I hate about LG Stock overall is the interface, all their crap, and especially their dialer. I previously was side loading APK version of Google Dialer but it is missing the SPAM features and such unless you can flash it. I also sideloaded a pixel launcher and GCAM. But the dialer thing was always a pain.
I am going to try the debloated/magisk 20p STOCK. Anyone using this and have suggestions on how to get it working with Google Pay, Google Dialer, etc?
Next phone, I will probably spend the money on a pixel

Yes, I'm sure it is. The guys doing custom ROMs do great work. But... Does I'm sure none of the 3 things I listed work on it.
Some day we'll get Wi-Fi calling in a custom ROM. One would think this would be more a standard method built into Android itself
I've got a H931 (basically daily driver with us998 20g) and a ls998 that I've used to test various roms and am now experimenting with serious debloating us998 20g on it.
I'm also accustom to Lineage, but as you know, there are not official builds for all devices. While the available roms are good, they are still a bit away from supporting all the basics.
In the meantime (and possibly for longer), just got through debloating the ls998. Now only 27 apps installed. Everything I need is working, very well actually. Looking at debloating even further. Watching to see if there are any ill effects.
It's difficult to determine what is the best, most productive way to go. At this point for me though I think it's debloating a stock rom. Time consuming but I hope worth it.
Good luck with your choice, Cheers
So I am on de-bloated stock with a few mods (google dialer, gcam, pixel launcher. Only thing not working at all is Google Pay. Magisk hide not working to fool it. Not a big deal.

That's easily fixed. Go to set->apps->google.services and delete cache and data. Make sure to hide magisk and any apps u don't want to see it first, reboot. Worked for me.

Can you be more specific? I did what I think you mentioned:
Setup Magisk-Hide to hide from GPay, Google Play Store, and Google.
Cleared data and cache for Google Play Services (I assume that's what you meant?)
Rebooted, checked GPay, and it still says I can't use it because my device is rooted/altered.
Running Magisk 18.1, manager 7.1.1. Safetynet passes (both green checkmarks). What am I missing?

Nope, no Xposed at all, never installed it. Only one Masgisk module (Google dialer). VS996 20i otherwise (installed via TWRP... so stock rooted overall).
I thought I read that we need Magisk Canary now, as 18.1 isn't enough by itself. Another tip was to manually Magisk-Hide Google Play Services? I didn't want to dig in that deeply, if others are able to get by without these tricks...

I don't know. Mine was hiding from Google Pay very well on18.0 and then 18.1 -- until I decided I cared more how my status bar icons looked than Google Pay.
So had to go Xposed route even though I know that can't be invisible from Safety Net. I made the choice on purpose.

Stock rooted US998.
* Battery circle with percentage number inside, instead of TWO stock LG battery icons (wasted space and looks ugly). How complete the circle is also indicates percentage.
* Actual LTE symbol, not silly"4GLTE".
* H for HSPA, not "4G".
* Gradient distinction for both carrier and Wi-Fi strength.
Some are build prop edits, but I'm also running two Xposed modules.

Funny, in that I just tried my procedure on my 2nd device and it didn't work - but still working / worked on the H931...
My guess is that on one, Titanium bkup wasn't installed (installed after enable gpay), on the other, already installed?
will post back if I figure it out.

Go to Magisk forum. It has detail instructions how to pass Google pay.
You have to install old version of Google service frame work in order to make it.
It's working fine on my phone.
Sorry for the terse directions you can find them already on XDA... Note this is many hours of work and I believe EVERYTHING is working!!!
Unlock BL through Xiaomi app (15 day wait) http://en.miui.com/unlock/
If you need a guide to show you how to flash everything this post is helpful, just use the right TWRP and ROM and Magisk etc. from below: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/guide-how-flashed-twrp-xiaomi-eu-rom-t3912952
Install TWRP 0524 if you can find it, fully working backups / restore with encryption:https://mega.nz/#!CVVHAIIJ!M97UbdQBfw6Pe6_n4U7khEw9KaHkbz71n_8oubvnX40
Download and flash Xiaomi.eu 9.6.5 weekly [or latest] ROM https://sourceforge.net/projects/xiaomi-eu-multilang-miui-roms/files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-WEEKLY-RELEASES/
Install Magisk 19.3 via TWRP, enable Root https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Install latest Magisk Manager from above link
Magisk hide everything related to banking apps, trading apps, Google, etc.
Hide Magisk in a random folder (it has a setting to randomize it's location)
Install EX Kernel Manager (Playstore) and FK Manager if you want it
Go into EX Kernel Manager, select Graphics. Pick max GPU frequency 810mhz (you'll need to do this after every reboot - it won't stick even if you select to load on boot - unless you buy FK Kernel Manager use it ONLY to set GPU to 810mhz at boot and to switch cores off under CPU when you need to save power)... In EX Manager,
go to Tools / CPU Governer. Select Little Cluster. Click hispeed_freq and select the max. Then click hispeed_load and set to 5. Next select Big Cluster and do the same. Save this profile as "myprofile" or any name and select Apply on boot (blue button on the right). The 5 setting is from me playing around with different random #s I think 90 is default. If you find a better number please post here. The memory score will go up in AnTuTu when you have a good value. Also under memory, change ZRAM to 1GB with LZO etc. see pics.
This setup is giving around 415k on AnTuTu consistently. Another note - TURN OFF XIAOMI CLOUD AUTO SYNC in settings! You can leave find my phone on. After many updates I found this drops the score quite a bit! Also under Settings / Google / Location switch to internal GPS. This also saves a lot of battery although Google Maps will complain a few times eventually it will work.
Google Pay part:
Note a recent GMS update requires a new procedure https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-google-pay-gms-17-1-22-pie-t3929950)
I also only allowed via settings / apps / Other Permissions Google Pay access to NFC. Normal permissions only Location is allowed. Use HCE wallet setting for NFC payments. SIM wallet is apparently for other countries with train tickets etc.
FK Manager is shown below with the 810mhz set on boot and core control under CPU cores. You can turn off the middle 4 cores for about 5% better than stock performance and normal battery life! That's how I use my phone usually unless I'm playing a game.
Enjoy!
Thanks! :good:
Why 17.1 btw? Also, you should format /data as TWRP does not support decrypting yet. Or i don't know at this point...
Yeah I said I was being terse leaving stuff out elsewhere on XDA like you mentioned remove encryption with TWRP etc. 19.1 is the newest Magisk I just used the newest version of everything I could, sorry 17.1 typo was from memory...
*#*#8106#*#* also give max gpu boost.

You need to use a file manager with Root access to see the GMS folder. Otherwise it won't display anything. I use "Root Browser" from Google Play. There are others that are free. Try again with a file manager that says ROOT next to it in the Play Store and be sure to give it Root access when prompted. Then reboot after deleting the GMS folder. It should let you add cards provided it's Magisk hidden. FYI Google Pay is the hardest part of setting up the device on any Rooted phone. But if you follow my steps one by one it should work.

Google pay works as well? Is that score consistent? On the Xiaomi.eu it is really consistent and doesn't seem to matter what apps are open or the battery life left. I heard RevOS is even more stripped down than Xiaomi.eu
Also curious if there is a way to change mem settings without root on RevOS then you could get up another 10k or so

With my Mix 3 and Mi 8 I had some great experiences with Xiaomi.eu compared to Global, but with my Mi 9 Xiaomi.eu is quite buggy like the fingerprint on standby, standby drain (for me just as bad as with global)
ROS is much better in my opinion, no lag, very consistent performance and battery with very little standby drain.
Not sure about the mem settings, I normally dont do any rooting or overclocks but saw this and wanted to try.
Also not sure about Google Pay, we don't have Google Pay here in the Netherlands, but we have own banking apps instead with mobile wallets which work fine.
Yeah Xiaomi.eu has standby drain for some reason. Not sure how to fix it.
So far Google Pay still works. Only annoying thing is the AI button being based on a China ROM you have to keep down to do Google Assistant or press the talk button after hitting the AI button. No Hey Google either. I don't really use that but nice to have all features working...
Just use RevOS. 0.3%/hr standby drain. Good support, instead of mass development with always the same excuses, it's a Xiaomi thing.

Magisk is only a root manger application.
And its modules are nothing but replacement of system files in mirrored system partition created by magisk.
Where xposed can hook Methods and resources.
Never underestimate xposed.
It has great role in reverse engineering of application and customisation.

If you do a search for Xposed, there is a uninstall ZIP file that you can flash using recovery mode that will uninstall Xposed, which will then disable Xprivacy and your phone should be able to bootup.

I think you should be able to disable the Xprivacy "module" from within the xposed app, then reboot. Then uninstall xprivacy like you would any other app, then reinstall the xprivacy APK and it should start with default settings.
XPrivacy was way better than XPL, I don't know why M66B would dump it. I still have it running on my Galaxy S5 with Kitkat, it's not like it needs any updating, it's fine how it is.

XPrivacy doesn't work on recent Android versions anymore due to structural changes in Android, which is the main reason why XPrivacyLua was developed.

In fact many things were changed, but the main obstacles are tighter security (SELinux), how the activity manager service works and how apps are being started. Since XPrivacy is not supported anymore, I am not going to provide more details, but both the source code of XPrivacy and XPrivacyLua are on GitHub, so you can check for yourself.

Also XPL doesn't run with EdXposed, so it's in a worse position than XP from my point of view.

Really? My impression is that XPL and EdXposed runs fine.
Is there a way to hide the battery status? I have an annoying battery Warnung in my car every time the battery is less then 50% when my Smartphone is connected with Bluetooth. I cant disable that in the car hifi settings. Or can i send fake data?
I use omnirom atm, se enforcing, safetynet check passes, cts profile matches too, but netflix isn't there, some other apps are missing too.
I tried to install magisk hide, and magisk hide props, tried different finger prints, cleared playstore cache.
I'm out of ideas. Does anyone know what could cause this?
I would be thankful for pointing me in the right direction. I'm thinking of going back to stock right now...its a bit more bloated and one android version down, but at least things work.

Greetings. The problem you're facing is caused because our device supports DRM Level 3.
You can use Netflix, but you won't be able to stream in HD. Just download the app from an external source like apkmirror (here) and install it manually.
I found out today that there is an experimental version of GrapheneOS out for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Anyone tried it yet?
It has been discussed a bit over here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-custom-roms-for-google-pixel-6.4356839/page-2
Also over on Reddit:

I have Grapheneos exp on my P6 here. No SIM in it, still messing around. Watching and waiting to see what else shows up to compare (Calyxos) before I commit to using it. It appears to be all there and working.
For those out there running Graphene, how has it been as a daily driver? Any issues that would stop one from running it daily?

I've been using it on a Pixel 4 and Pixel 4a. Only minor issue which I expect would also be on the Pixel 6 is that the Material You theming in Android 12 isn't yet supported. That means at this time, the highlight colors in the system menus are a bland grey colour instead of a bright colour. Daniel Micay, the lead developer did say in the Matrix chat group that the customization of colors will eventually be implemented.
I'm hearing it's very stable for Pixel 6.
Does it include google cam or will it work like stock if i install the apk?
No Google Cam. They have their own derivative cam app.
I have had to install ProtonAOSP over GrapheneOS. MS Outlook app crashing after 5 seconds, even after reset all settings. With Proton MS Outlook works fine. I'm not convinced I'l stay with Proton as there is still a heap on Google stuff in this ROM I don't want.
Proton looks complete, haven't seen anything that bothers me with it yet.

99% of apps work same as stock. Even my banking app works.
Of course you can install the camera app, it will work the same as stock. You do not need to use the GOS stock camera. I use gcam and photos app, and block both network access. Graphene allows blocking at OS level, not like a simple firewall, in which apps, even if blocked, they can still broadcast their intent to other apps.
Most importantly, you can install google play/store and these apps will behave like normal apps, with no extra permissions. To understand how huge this is, you need first to envision the scope of permissions these apps otherwise have (eg in stock OS or any other phone with google services/play installed).
I think grapheneos is the best thing you can have for your pixel. Its a shame not taking advantage of such amazing and secure OS.
A legend has worked out the Outlook issue:
App crashes related to upstream Webview updates? · Issue #105 · GrapheneOS/Vanadium
My wife started getting some apps crashing shortly after they're opened since updating to GrapheneOS 2021.03.19.14 on her Pixel 4. Is this related to what I've been reading regarding Google's bugge...
github.com
"I've successfully worked around the issue by downgrading to Outlook v4.2123.2."

Worth noting about installing GCam. I also need to install the GCam Services spoof apk. I also make sure I disable internet permission for GCam before opening it for the first time. Tapping on the photo preview icon won't work as Google's gallery app is missing. I use Simple Gallery from F-Droid.
