Want to test new kernel for the G6? - LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello
I'm a kernel developer. I'm behind the mk2000 kernel for the LG G5 and V20.
The reason I'm doing for both the G5 and V20 is that they both basically use the same kernel source from LG. With only a little tweaking we can make a unified tree which you can build kernel for all (LG) MSM8996 devices.
The G6 uses MSM8996pro so it's very similar. That's why I decided to use my experience to port my mk2000 kernel over to the LG G6.
Since I don't have a G6 myself I'd like for someone to test a bit before I go ahead and make a main thread.
You can see my G5 thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/h850-mk2000-kernel-t3707822 - for a overview of features.
This will be based on the latest 1.5 release of my kernel. There has been confirmed a bug with 1.5 (fast charge) because someone told me it was fixed during beta testing, when it wasn't.
Anyway, this means that bug also might be present in this kernel for now, but is only beta anyway.
UPDATE: New thread HERE.
NB: This AnyKernel2 zip will flash modules to /system/etc/modules - so perhaps you want to back up those first, so you can go back to whatever state you where in before flashing my kernel.
PS: Oh yes, this kernel is for stock based rom only.

Hi, just flashed on my H870 with Fulmics 3.5 (11G Firmware), booted fine, and Quick Charge is working (Icon appears, and Ampere app displays "turbo" and 2000mAh of max speed).
If you need any particular feedback or test just tell me =)

Hey
Good that it works.
The bug involves something with quick charging stops working after a while, maybe when the screen is off, I'm not sure I have not experienced or tested it myself yet (I don't use quick-charge much).
Don't need anything special yet.
Since it's apparently working as it is, I may open a thread soon in the proper section.

@askermk2000 Working fine here please continue

Stable Roms without missing features?

I wanted to ask, witch Roms are stable and support all features of Kenzo.
It seems that in several Roms there are different Problems,
from wakelocks and Battery drain,
over Wifi Problems
to missing Fingerprint or VolTE support.
Is it a Problem with Android 6.0 or also with 5.1 based Roms?
This should be in the Questions & Answers section. However, I have official CM 13.0 and I haven't encountered any of the problems that you mentioned above. If you read instructions carefully and understand what you're doing, you won't have any trouble as long as the rom you are flashing supports those features. If you head over to the Android Development section, you can see the features that each rom does and doesn't support. If the OP says it is supported but you can't get it to work, then the problem comes from your side. Before flashing make sure you have read and understood the required steps and have taken all the necessary precautions to avoid ending up with a "bricked" device. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Thanks for your reply,
yes i know what im doing (had Nexus 4 and flashed it more than a hundred times).
I normally check first post (+ following from OP) and the last sites of the Thread to see if there are bugs or not (cause "no bugs" in OP-Thread is not always correct).
But if CM13 is, so far, bug free and full featured (fingerprint and so on) than i will give it a try.

It is. I've been using it for almost 1 month now, and I can say it's probably the most stable and complete rom for me. I also flashed the CM 13.0 supported firmware along with Radon Kernel and the device is blazing fast. As for the battery, I can get 1 week+ with minimal usage, and about 2-3 days with heavy usage which is pretty impressive for a hexa-core device with a 1080p screen.

I was wondering about this "firmware" thing, never had to upgrade any software. Normaly just flash the Rom.
I was also wondering what's the difference to the unofficial CM13

Well, if you are going to flash this rom you are going to have to flash the appropriate firmware too, since CM is based on it. If you flash the rom without flashing the firmware, you might end up with missing options in settings (I tried this and the "fingerprints" tab was missing). As soon as I flashed the firmware everything got fixed. Also, an official rom means that it is developed by a member or a group of members that have created the original project, while unofficial roms can be built by anyone. For example I can take a CM build and customize it the way i want and then release it to the public. This makes it an unofficial rom, since I'm not a member of the CM development team. But if a rom or an update releases on the CM website, then it is considered to be official.
By the way about the VoLTE support, quoting from OP Q&A:
Q) Is VoLTE supported? (Also useful if you have GApps related problems).
A) No. We use all proprietary blobs from MIUI Marshmallow alpha 'leaked' builds and those builds itself do not have it working. So we'll have to wait until Xiaomi fixes it in their marshmallow builds in future. Also we can't fallback to old LP radio blobs/libs and are not suited with current setup. #blamexiaomi

I guess you'll have to wait for Xiaomi to release a stable working MM build if you want voLTE support. :/

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 for the Verizon LG G3 (vs985)

I'm not sure what the holdup is on the
Official Lineage Verizon builds for the G3,
(as of this writing that directory is still empty), but I just switched over to Verizon with their new Unlimited data plan and I decided to build my own this morning. I saw that a few people had been wanting this, so I figured I'd put it up here.
** Note that I compiled this with 'export WITH_SU=true' so there is no need to use the 'addonsu-arm-signed.zip' (root addon) that they provide, as it's built into this rom already.
LineageOS:
Lineage-14.1-Verizon-vs985

sure, it has plenty of bugs, but no more than any other current lineage 14.1 build (I've tested lineage on a samsung galaxy s5, htc one m8, lg g3 (ls990), lg g3 (d851), and an lg g3 (d855)... this build works virtually identical to those.
cm13 is still the best way to go for now if you need stability, i just wish miracast worked better... lineage 14.1 did improve miracast quite a bit, but theres other problems... like conflicts with certain apps (like power toggles, the hotspot won't function properly, you have to enable that via lineage menus, might be an issue with their new su/root implementation) stuff like that.
but... it runs just as well as any of the 'official' builds if that helps answer your question
good work thank you
Upload
Thank you for this, been waiting.
Uploaded with Banks Dynamic Mini Gapps and 35B modem. Everything is clean and seems to be working great. Will you continue to keep it updated with the latest from lineage as they continue to update the rom.
Great rom, but when I enable encryption and reboot the phone hangs on the LG logo and bootloops.
Edit: Encryption is broken in Lineage 14.1 currently
the bot builds on fridays
Been using 307 Rom for two days and am impressed. Great battery life, smooth, and good calling on 35b.
Thanks for your work.
looks like it's finally been added to the official builds,
i'll continue to do builds of lineage 13.0 for this phone, as thats what i'm using,
but no sense in continuing this thread....
here's the first official build:

Has anyone used the official build for the G3?
My fiance has one, and I may steal her phone and flash it. Battery life would be nice, as well as getting rid of the VZ bloat. Any bugs? App compatibility? Thanks!
yes im using nice rom
I have used Bailx 304 and 307 roms, and loaded the official Lineage 310 rom today. Lineage had done a great job with 14.1 with excellent battery life, smoothness, and speed. I have tried all the 7.1 roms for the G-3, and all are exceptional in how far they have come with reliability. I basically use my phone for that purpose, a few texts, and a few photos, so I'm not much into a lot of mods. The only one I really use is Nova Launcher to set up the way I like. The Gapps I used were the Banks Dynamic Mini and by the time I had finished setting my phone up I had used 5.9 gig of 32.
any chance these builds can have volte on vs985? Is that feasible at all? Please let me know.
and how is the camera quality of this rom as compared to stock and other aosp/cm based rom?

[ROM/Kernel] LineageOS "Pro" 15.1 for the LeEco Le Max2 [05/05]

This thread may be under construction, watch out!
An introduction to my new Oreo sauce...
This is a modified LineageOS 15.1 ROM meant to fill my personal needs, including my minimalistic Lambda Kernel out-of-the-box and a few customizations to provide a different, privacy-focused, Android experience, just for you.
What are the very best features included?
~> Always latest vanilla LineageOS 15.1 codebase;
~> Root virginity preserved, unrooted;
~> SafetyNet bypass out-of-the-box;
~> Google PlayStore device certification;
~> Privacy oriented Bromite web browser;
~> Compiled with SDClang LLVM 4.0 toolchain;
~> Dex-preoptimization of boot image and system server;
~> Minimalistic Lambda Kernel, more information right down below.
What does this magical Kernel support?
~> Cleanly built on top of the latest QCOM reference Kernel for MSM8996;
~> Up-to-date camera_v2 driver stack according to Nougat (LA.UM.5.5) code base;
~> Proper OEM Kernel code adjusted per target (ZL1/X2) and adapted to the new base;
~> Adjusted headset detection framework to account for Type-C adapter;
~> Optimized and adjusted for the -O2 GCC compilation flag;
~> Minimal configuration with the bare minimum drivers needed;
~> Safe fast charging input, regulated per stock Kernel definitions;
~> A little bit faster panel wake up and touchscreen initialization;
~> Unlocked bootloader state bypass, reports green.
What are the known issues so far?
?> Ambient display feature makes the panel wake up a bit funky, you'll see it when compared to the disabled state, which doesn't have that funkiness.
?> Time registering is broken, the daemon doesn't write properly to the Kernel for some reason and ends up not having the correct time after a reboot with the internet turned off.
?> CDLA sometimes has some pops in the background when not listening to anything, pretty minor though.
Nice, where are the downloads?
The downloads are available in the dev release tag in my Github's lineage_releases repository, there you'll find the zip file for installation and the md5sum for checking the file's integrity.

Did anyone mention FAQ?
A series of questions, answers, and wonders about all the things she I said in case you didn't get it already.
&> Q. Why isn't this a new project instead of just a simple variant of LineageOS? There are already a ton of them...
&> A. I think there's already a ton of Android "projects" and I don't feel like nor have time to create yet another one that I probably wouldn't be able to maintain for long.
&> Q. How much time will this "variant" be supported?
&> A. Only future wilt tell us but most likely our brave "variant" will resist at least one Android cycle starting from now, all the way through P, even after LineageOS officially drops it we can still have some OEL support if other developers keep the game going.
&> Q. How does it diverge from official LineageOS builds?
&> A. This one aims at providing a snapshot-like experience - if you remember CyanogenMod gold era - which uses the non-debugging user flavor instead of userdebug as Google keeps pushing their draconian restrictions to have access to their apps and services, we need to fake it to avoid forfeiting.
&> Q. My device is "certified" on Google PlayStore, how?
&> A. The bootloader green check in Kernel and user flavor made it possible. I'm not sure how much longer will it take to Google before they go with something deeper to restrict the access of their services by custom ROMs unconditionally. This is a trick though, your device will never be certified with an unlocked bootloader and non-OEM ROM.
&> Q. Will you ever include root support out-of-the-box?
&> A. No, never. You can flash Magisk if you want it, the latest the better in this case. Not sure about the addonsu from LineageOS itself as I never used it.
&> Q. Will you include Dolby Atmos, ViperFX, $(insert_nice_name_here) out-of-the-box?
&> A. No, not at all.
Heeyo! Are you using official LineageOS trees for building your variant?

Synced today, no fools included
Well cause i liked your kernel i will try out this rom also!
Nice timing tbh. Just bricked my current rom rn.
True. I've been using his kernel since 24 hours and damn it is the best kernel for x2. My phone's battery temperature doesn't cross 42°C even though my country's normal temperature outdoors is around 38-40°C these days. I get around 20%/hour drain on medium usage which is awesome for my 15 month old battery. Will definitely flash your rom and give feedback.
Hey. Congratz for your work. Can you give more detail about this please: "Safe fast charging input, regulated per stock Kernel definitions;" So we still would able to charge fastly as up to 4000 mH? The quick charge on/off option is available for your kernel? That feature doesn't work properly on the Oreo ROMs..
This is Awesome! The legend is back!
I am so pumped right now! :d:d
@GalaticStryder
Hello, gapps are included inside the rom?
Works everything?
Thanks in advance

First: Big THX @GalaticStryder for this awesome build.
Tested it for an hour now and everything seems perfect. Sound quality is excellent (through Headphones). Rom itself very smooth.
Will report battery Backup later.
Gapps are NOT included, Root is NOT included.
Heyyo, congrats on the release GalaticStryder! She sounds super promising!
A request
I am going to make a very dumb request, can you create an overclocked kernel for this build? Would it be possible?
Thanks so much
Has same bugs as official (eg slow motion video recording not working)?
Thank you for your work dude. I'm wondering if you would make a kernel with focus fix.

He would end up better adding leeco prefs in settings with quick charge switch, maybe akt and focus switch.

[ROM] Unofficial Lineage-16.0 (Android 9.0 PIE)

This is unofficial lineageos 16 for Motorola Clark. It is only compatible with nougat firmware - you must have the nougat bootloader and modem flashed on your device.
Tons of thanks to hashbang for all of his work
Kernel Source-

Current status of rom-
Daily Driver
Broken-
Camera post processing- rotation is not accounted for in hal with latest round of hacks credit to AgathosAnthropos for fixing image capture by disabling the calls to pp, hold device in landscape for photos
Tethering - it works but device will soft reboot when tethering stops
Dual sim variants are NOT supported! I do not have the hardware to test and fix at this time - bugreports appreciated
Working - everything else?
Try it yourself (Requires Nougat Firmware and as always wipe data+cache)

Don't forget to grab a compatible version of gapps for 9.0
https://opengapps.org
Once again this rom REQUIRES that the stock nougat firmware was properly flashed to work correctly... It will check before installation that you have the correct modem version installed.
*If your radio does not work you may have the wrong modem
*If you can not switch lockscreen to pin or pattern you may have the wrong modem.
*Modem flashes fail quietly sometimes please make sure you have properly flashed it before reporting issues.
Great! [emoji6]

I'll be happy to test once there is a working rom
I've been updating op, it seems to just be getting shorter as I fix things. The rom now compiles with default manifest only needs device tree and kernel source now. something is failing quietly and preventing boot. I'm just working the problem slowly getting it sorted out.
Can't wait to see more from this
We wait impatiently.
Spent a couple more hours going through init narrowing it down failure happens just before zygote startsI currently have my pure propped up in charging position so I can work more on it it's had a hard life
Thank You so much

Hi randomblame,
A quick review please, could you tell us the intended purpose of your project.
Meaning like I'm thinking it's for a "Moto X Pure 2015 (clark)" device isn't it?
Would that be for everyone on this XT1575 device which has upgraded to a stock Nougat kernel and modem?
Or could/would others benefit from it as well with your research here - other moto's?
Any and all answers - thoughts are welcome in understanding the project...
Thanks for the lady power on XDA,
RIF
This device can have a new future. Think about it !
I will look into bootloader incompatibility once I get it running seems like it shouldn't be a big deal. I'm also toying with the idea of a new kernel 3.18 seems like low hanging fruit considering Motorola was kind enough to give us good searchable git history on GitHub of both kernels and the 3.18 source for the Moto z seems to have most of the msm8992 support still. My next step is going to be a new device tree starting as bare bones as possible and populating it properly to figure out this issue. I'll throw up a PayPal link again later a less broken device would be helpful USB port is bad and this is probably the fourth screen I've installed on it but touch only works when it feels like it lol

I'm trying to follow along with your posts best as is possible for me - but, so sorry I and as well many others are lame to understand the under-the-hood workings of Android.
Are you saying in such a way that the Moto Pure XT1575, will maybe and with your research efforts move forward to a true PIE OS possibly?
Maybe I'm reading to much into your words.
But, as I follow your posts, you'll advance us Pure device owners beyond the Nougat kernel - or at least try too?
Or yet with your efforts will this yield something like HashBang did for the XT1575 device when a Nougat OS wasn't even a thought of possibility from Motorola for us.
Back then, HashBang had worked the Nougat OS on the Marshmallow kernel and modem - I'm very green to all of this - but that's what I understood.
Still that's good none the less if that will come here from you with PIE on Nougat internals...
Beings Motorola support is dead for our device for anything future of an OS update - not to mention security patches.
If you would spell it out better as any interested XT1575 owners now could grasp the concept here in your efforts - create a buzz for a greater community following. More MXP owners to jump on board as gained support from well wishers.
Is it to early yet for that? Is there a fear that someone could steal it out from under you? Unexpected negativity, or is it just the way you wish to present this to us for the present.
I'm still going to watch and support this project with high hopes no matter what may come in the end...
Could you benefit knowledge from a LineageOS 16 for Moto Z. download?

As for any active developers still left for the XT1575 a big thank you to you all, seems to me like a daunting task to crawl inside of android moreless understand things once your there...
Kernels are only loosly linked to Android versions, Google maintains the Android-common kernel repos which are usually quite far behind mainline Linux, and caf who maintains Qualcomm specific kernels are further behind in general. Literallyany feature required by Android can be backported to an old kernel I'm sure 2.6.27 could run pie but it would need so many patches it would be an unrecognizable mess. It will become progressively more of a nuisance as time goes on to keep patching up 3.10 Pie "requires" 4.4 for new devices but only needs kernel features from 3.18 which I've backported to 3.10. with each new version of Android more assumptions are made about how modern the devices kernel is and what features it has so moving to a newer kernel would be nice and like I said 3.18 seems doable but it will still be quite a bit of work.
Thank you @randomblame I was able to grasp most of that...
Maybe it's too early but, how does Googles Android security patches figure into this - if they are possible to bring us forth from Oct 2017?
Remembering I'm a laymen to the nuts and bolts of android.
I understand your post #16 - Super !
Security patch version is irrelevant when you are building from the latest source
Obnoxiously after a few builds the dedicated 250gb SSD is full and I have to make clean which takes ages, I nooped every thing but the basics didn't include telephony or wifi, ril, audio, Bluetooth GPS nfc etc and left it to build overnight will test after work trying to narrow down the problem
Surface flinger is the culprit
I have the device laying around and getting no use. Will sure donate some $$$. Seeing a los16 with all working hardware would be great.
Only got a couple hours to work on it this weekend, there is an issue where /system/vendor is not symlinked to /vendor early enough and calls for things in /vendor fail thus the issue, since we don't have a physical /vendor partition it can not be mounted immediately via the kernel. Tis annoying. I can change the calls to /system/vendor or maybe make it symlinked earlier when I get a chance

[BOUNTY!] Kernel for H990DS (Stock Oreo)

As you all V20 owners know, there's only one kernel available for Rooted Stock Oreo ROM and it is MK2000. However it's a good kernel and its developer has put a great effort on it but unfortunately it doesn't function properly on H990DS variant. Some problems like intensive lags and battery draining are two major examples.
If you remember we had a good DOTS kernel in nougat. If someone could fork it for Oreo it would be great as well.
Anyways, here's what we need:​
[*]Stock kernel based on H990ds Oreo sources (20a or 20b)
[*]Dirty Santa fixes applied (You can read about this in H990* root thread under TECHNICAL DISCUSSION section)
[*]RCTD, Triton and whatever related removed
[*]"ForceEncryption" and "dm(avb)verity" removed
[*]KCAL, EXFAT and USB Quick Charge support
[*]More CPU governors (We will talk about this in the group)
[*]Overclocked
[*]Make the project Open Source
If you think you can do something, PM me! I'll send you additional information required.
Also I'll give you a link for a Telegram group where you can share what you have and it can be tested out.
Anyone interested in testing potential builds, also contact me for the Telegram link.

He will also collect the bounties and release the kernel when ready. Stay tuned!!!

After the H990DS variant, we can ask for the other variants if people support it!
So we are looking for money to pay a dev to make a good H990DS kernel (And after that for more models). This is important! Thanks for your collaboration.
Good work creating the thread.
Hope more people jump in
Thanks for pushing this, let's get some more life outta this phone and make rooted oreo usable.

We want the kernel to populate custom NTCODE (Being able to change ntcode for region changes)

Hey there
What exactly does this mean? Aren't you able to change the NT-code as it is?
I've actually been wanting to change the region of one of my G5's, but simply changing the code did not do the trick.
I used the hidden menu method btw, where you can also change mac address IIRC.
I also fiddled with the two partitions; cust and OP. Doesn't seem to be it either. Probably something needed to be edited in misc partition or something as well.
And BTW, I'm not offering to make this new stock kernel. Though I did just now re-upload the v2.2 kernel, here:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=297449
With some fixes and stuff. Not saying it's gonna fix 990ds problems, but at least it's out there for V20 users to be aware.

Hey,
the AutoMID option in h990ds hidden menu doesn't allow to modify anything. OP partition in v20 is a complete waste of space and full of junk stuff. We have edited the ntcode in misc by hex editor and have addressed the custom ntcode in cust to use the desired path, but the phone reads the ntcode from the modem as we can still see the factory ntcode in the hidden menu (SVC, Version Info). If we populate the custom ntcode at the kernel level (smem) maybe we can overcome this obstacle. Read this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/bounty-thread-lg-v20-root-h990ds-t3493062/post72323004
And thanks for the Re-uploaded kernel. It's more stable than the previous stable 2.2 build.
Personally I was using 2.2 beta 26 as it was working better than other builds, but I can confirm that the new re-uploaded build is slightly better than beta 26. Benchmarks: Antutu -> 2.2 beta 26 (156K) --- 2.2 Stable Re-uploaded (161K)
We would greatly appreciate if you could help us to fix some issues regarding the development of the stock kernel as you know how to deal with the dirty santa stuff. (We've found out that it's causing more issues than expected) If you're willing to guide us and tell us the steps I can send you the Telegram kernel development group link.
A noob question - to update the kernel, I just need to flash it followed by magisk, right?

If you're upgrading the current kernel just dirty flashing the new version over the old version followed by magisk is enough.
But if wanna flash a different kernel, you should first flash a clean bootimage then flash the custom kernel followed by magisk.
Question- how much do we need to raise to make this happen?
Additionally, can we specify that this not be specific to a single variant? You might get more donors.
(btw there's already enough bounty to send a dev a used unit to experiment with too! LOL)

We need to get something working first, then we will open the game to the other variants but we need help raising money to get this done, so if you care about a new kernel for your v20 please help us with the money now.
We have about $130 now. But it isn't enough for an expert dev to make this happen.
Currently we are dealing with touchscreen issue. LG sources are trash and a real dev knows how to deal with them.

Curious is anyone on a h990 has tried alpha kernel from my rom project. If you have let me know what was working and what wasnt.
Also why not mk2k kernel ? The dev has done a lot of work for this device.

No we haven't tried that kernel. Kindly send me the boot image so I can test it.
About the mk kernel. It's the only kernel available for us, but we have some problems with it like general lagging, apps getting killed and memory problems. And these problems are more severe for h990ds variant.
I the end, if you can help us with kernel development (building or just helping to fix few issues), I can send you the group link.
UPDATE:
I flashed the h910 stock kernel inside the AO rom.
It has static screen issue. However I fixed it by covering the proximity sensor for some seconds. (However this trick won't work on h990ds kernels.)
Sims do not being read.
The UI was smoother comparing to MK kernel but it started lagging after a few minutes.
I can tell stuff were crashing in the background.
Hi Guys,
I am ready to become beta tester for this kernel. I have this device with root and its H990DS India version. I know bit about android and give you crash reports. Please post me link of telegram. I have already replaced its thermal paste to make it cooler and this mod really worked as now device lot better than earlier hot pot condition. Even with mk2000 kernel (great respect for developer) its standby battery sucks. I have Lenovo Z2 plus which also does have same Qc 820 and poor software but due to developer efforts now it is smooth as butter. Hope this kernel solves most of the problems and I am ready to dive into depths of kernel development to save this last of its kind removable battery super phone. Kudos to all developers.
I m also ready to become a tester
Count me in. I'll donate $20.
