Then you haven't read much, looked around much in this forum, have you?
Read the sticky post that answers your questions. Two posts in that thread, read them both.
ROOT Your LG V30!
I see you also posted identical question in the G6 forum. The V30 is what the G6 SHOULD have been -- instead of LG's idiotic G6 "regionalized" spec scheme where you couldn't get all the touted features in one phone.
Plus 2017 V30 has the 2017 Snapdragon 835, not the previous year's 2016 Snapdragon 821 -- which the G6 has.
LG V30/V30+
* 1440P OLED (537 ppi)
* Qi wireless charging (for all variants)
* 3.5mm headset jack
* Quad DAC (for all variants)
* DTS 3D stereo (with root, which all variants have)
* IP68 dust/water resistance
* rear camera OIS on normal lens - plus 120 degree wide angle lens
* superfast fingerprint sensor
* 64GB (V30) or 128GB (V30+) internal storage (for all variants)
* microSD port for additional storage
* bootloader unlock and root (for all variants)

LG G7 DS, no can't be rooted.
Samsung I don't keep up with right now.
LG does not allow any of the "DS" models to have official bootloader unlock code -- but with the WTF bootloader unlock exploit on the V30 we don't need LG's permission.

You seem to have missed a lot when it comes to LG SD845 devices.
Even though cant be officially unlocked, there are engineering bootloaders of the G7 and V35 out there, which work on ALL (except T-Mobile) LG SD845 devices, which, after enabling OEM unlock in settings), allow you to unlock the bootloader by "fastboot oem unlock" ^^
There are people in russian forums or telegram groups or so which offer their service to flash those to devices by remote.

OK. Thanks.
Originally he had asked about G6 root and ROMs, which I knew wasn't viable for DS models.
I admit for G7, I assumed -- since I know they're never going to be listed for official bootloader unlock code and WTF won't work for that either.
I see this G7 thread was just started earlier this month, so I'm not too far behind:

Then why isn't this being discussed in the V35 forum? @runningnak3d? You know about this?
I have a V35...
Ok guys ,so i'm getting we're good to go for the "rooting" part . And what about "dual-sim function and supported roms" part of the question?
Anybody tried one or has any kind of insight that i could actually rely on ,so i can be sure before proceeding to a purchase?
Tnx everyone... btw !

I guess very likely via inofficial ways i.e. xda but officially questionable. The moto z is still not officially regarded as compatible afaik.

"Another Redditor who received the update confirms that it enables Daydream support, which would make the Moto Z and Z Force the first devices outside of Google's own Pixels to support the company's new VR platform"
Yeah I've seen that. Not sure whether this is intended as this info is not from an official source like moto themselves but lets hope for the best
So i've installed the 7.0 KDZ and the Daydream app+VR framework from google. I can open the app and browse stuff, but as soon as i want to go into VR mode it crashes.
Is LG G5 compatible with Daydream View on Nougat (7.0). I wouldn't thought so since LG is selling their VR headset,

Here they say:
"Google doesn’t specifically demand an OLED display in the CDD, but the need for low latency and persistency probably means that only phones with OLED panels will make the cut. That could increase even further the demand for AMOLED displays, which is already on the rise and expected to boom in 2017."
Which is much more precise, and there are the full requirements, this confirms that if the G5's IPS display doesn't respect those specification it will never support daydream.
But it also says that the only soc supported is Snapdragon 821, beside that the Moto z supports daydream, at this point who knows xD

You're talking about downgrading your device.
Any phone which is launched with Oreo has to support Treble. I doubt an OEM would add support for Treble to a budget device which launched without it.

I know that,But the Snapdragon 630 chipset is enough for me,and moto g6 plus have 5.7 screen, support project treble,Better battery.
If you've already have Moto mods, the Z3 play is around the corner

Hello,
can you tell me please which phone is better ?
Im deciding about this two phones.
I love this notch display, but the LG G6 has IP68 and i think better support with android and custom roms.
I recommend Honor 10.
It is a newer phone and has more power under the hood. Also, Huawei provides better support for its devices and more timely security updates. My daughter's Honor 6x has the Junes patch while my G6+ is till on January's.

"Huawei provides better support for its devices" - Simply, no.
"[...] more timely security updates" - It's true but only for the newest flagships. They stopped updating my last phone after a year.

I had a same issue last week trying to decide wheather to pick up LG G6 or Honor 10.
Honor 10 is a newer phone has more storage and a newer processor which means it will be faster. It also has a new slick look with barely any bezels although LG G6 has similiar screen to body ratio. LG G6 on the other hand has SD card support and IP68 and also is a last year flag ship phone(even though it was the slowest of flagships last year)
I have never owned a Huawei so I don't know how they handle updates for their phones but I believe both Honor and LG G6 should be updated to Android 9 in the future.
In the end I went with LG G6 mostly due to sd card support, IP68 and ability to unlock bootloader and flash custom roms. As far as I know Huwaei has recently stopped providing official ways to unlock bootloaders in their phones which means that there won't be many if any custom roms for Honor.(You might want to post this in Honor 10 forums to confirm that).
if you are confused with G6 and P10 or P20 my answer was pretty obvious: P10 or P20 was better than G6, but talking about Honor, well, G6 have better features and allow custom rom's and so on...things if you like you gonna miss with Honor 10.
overall Honor can have a better speaker, a better and more pleaseble screen but in the end G6 win for the amazing camera and sd card support.
Honor 10 no OIS no IP68 dust/water proof (up to 1.5m for 30 mins), MIL-STD-810G compliant
that was my point to pick G6 over Honor 10
if the look and compact size your first and last priority then pick honor 10
Everything except g6
Lg is a lier and i recommend you don't buy any lg product.
I bought Honor 10. guys thanks for nice advices

I'm back. ???. I ended up getting a h830 today. Mint condition. Works good. Needs a new battery. Already unlocked the bootloader. Will be flashing to try. I run fulmics on my g3 and maybe even in My g2. Been a while. Gonna downgrade I guess to get twrp and root. I had a sprint and Verizon g5 back when no root was available. Don't know if it is yet depending on how well the battery holds up on downgrade. I may flash this very soon just for trial
Been stuck on Samsung for the most part. Getting annoyed with my s8. I got like 10 phones laying around and my s8 can be rooted. But my mate se is the only one bootloader unlockable

Kcal is working perfect for me I got a lucky g5 my GPS works. My last 2 g5s neither GPS worked. The new battery getting me about 5 hours sot. But kcal makes or breaks mine has a horrible ghosting problem. But auditer and kcal 100 fix this. I bought a oppo clone Helio p80 supposedly off wish. But if it's a decent clone. I'm ditching my s8s and running the g5 and knock off as dailyz. I got a v40 unlocked bootloader but it needs a screen so I'm gonna wait for the v60 so the frame and lcd come down a bit on price

How to make the LGs Dual Screen Case work with other phones? There's always a way for everything with Android. I found a development page for the dual screen on LGs site but I don't know how to go about any of that yet. Maybe on rooted phones it would be easier to figure out or does it have to be written into the software? Thank you guys!

Dual screen case won't work for other phones.
Also this isn't the right section to post this.
It's using HDMI 1.4 slimport by Analogix
Could you use G8X dual case on V50 Thinq (one that is already set up for dual screen)?
Can you get it to work with other phones ? Older LG thinQ phones like the v35?
Naah. It surely won't work. Even if anything lights up the second screen somehow, a custom rom like that of LG's would be needed to use the same
The most you could do is mirror your screen and cant use it as seperate screen.

It will works fine bro U just need USB 4 SUPPORTED device or any Smartphone that capable Display output via USB port like all Samsung Flagships
U can use Samsung Galaxy S9 or any other Flagship Samsung with that dual screen and you will definitely get all benefits of Samsung Dex
I have my gaming monitor that have type c display input when i plug my Samsung Galaxy S9 to my monitor via type c to type c cable and it Works with My monitor
LG phones should works fine with any Type c input monitor and projectors
I don't have G8X to test but it will works fine :good:
It wont work.

tried v30 and v40
I've tried putting G8X DualScreen case onto v40, V50 korea, v50 us, v30, v50s
Only v50 korea shows usb connection, power supply mode
But the screen, charging, buttons don't work at all
Also you need matching firmware
G8X DualScreen case (v515) works with 901lg & v50s
Velvet DualScreen cases (g905 and g915) for example doesn't work with each other
hhy does anybody know hhow the dualscreen works? try to get it running on my crdroid rom but onnly butttons andd usb conneeection works for now
Can we create an app that would replace the need for the LG ROM or Firmware?
I recognize this is an old thread, but some of the questions here are still valid. I've been using a G8X with Dual Screen for the past year and a half and have no current plans to change up. This phone rocks and is still going strong.
If I understand correctly, the GX8 Dual Screen case is compatible with the V50S (not V50), right?
I'd like to get a V50S for the 5G capability, but keep using my Dual Screen case.

It is, the V50s is pretty much identical to the G8X, but it has more RAM and storage. The 5G is not very well supported, for starters it's the 2.5G variant, 41 NSA that works in some networks in Canada, US (T-Mobile), Saudi Arabia, South Korea, China and Thailand. It also has a smaller selection of languages and you cannot root it without breaking the fingerprint reader (the fixing hack does not work on the V50s as it never had the Android 9 version that has the bug needed to fix it). It does work well with the Dual Screen case thou, and as a Korean model you get the FM radio and the built-in call recording feature that's missing from the US G8X.
Wow, that's great info @zdanee , thank you! The more I look into it the less likely it becomes. While the larger storage and RAM are appealing, I'm on Verizon and wouldn't be able to use the 5G. Plus it has LTE Cat 19 vs the G8X Cat 20 so it has slower data speeds in general.
Thank you again for your insight!
So I'm familiar with windows systems, I'm not familiar with Android, but I know in Windows it's part of the operating system or graphics drivers that says " I have a main monitor, now I see a second monitor. Let's use it. Hey there's another mouse, let's use that."
I'm curious if software could be written to support this or if it's something that would have to be written into the kernel?
I tried to do it and ended up with my DS bricked.
See if this helps you in any way.
