Android 7.0 or 8.0 for LG G6 H870DS - LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion

Dear XDA Friends,
I have LG G6 H870DS. On Android 8.0 it was very laggy. PUBG Mobile was not even playable at smooth settings. Then I downgraded it to android 7.0. Now its performance have significantly improved. PUBG Plays well on Balanced Graphics Settings. But Sometimes it gives me a message something like, "Google Movies has stopped working" and sometimes "YouTube has stopped working".
I don't have Google Movies. I have also disabled YouTube and use Vanced YouTube.
I like PIP mode of android 8.0 but android 8.0 lags for me.
Previously I installed Indian version of android 7.0.
Please someone guide me in this regard. This device is old but it should be good enough to run pubg at least on Balanced Graphics Settings on Android 8.0.

Developer Settings/Force GPU Rendering mode ON, try it.

Tried my self and yep, works almost great except for the eq that crashes, maybe because it's trying to open the new eq that has Dolby and what not. Didn't saw how to downgrade the app so did a restore and all good again.
Hope LG got another update for eq :angel:

Stock camera and HD Audio recorder from Android 8

Hello people. I just loaded LineageOS 16 on my LG V30 H930(Europe) and after trying out the stock camera and audio recorder on the Android 8 that came with the phone I gotta say I really miss those. Does anyone know if I can get those two stocks apps from Android 8 back? I tried Gcam so far, but it's not what I need. I miss features like the manual mode in photo and video shooting, Log recording, being able to switch between the normal lens and wide angle lens and more. Also, the HD Audio recorder came with some neat presets for lossless recording. Any solutions to this?
Thank you for your time!

No. LG V30 stock camera is one of the most requested features for the AOSP/Lineage ROMs and if it could be done, it would have been done by now.
Magisk mods like Anxious V30 from @TotallyAnxious even have cameras from LG G7/LG V40 -- but again is intended to only work with rooted stock firmware.
-|Enables|--
All Lockscreen Weather Animations, Anxious Kernel Script, DTS:X 3D Surround, Dual Speaker for North American Variants, EmojiOne 4.5 w/ Water Gun, Falsified Advanced DAC Mode, G7/V40 App Profiles, G7/V40 Camera Features (Google Lens, Rear Portrait Mode, Stickers, Super Bright Camera, Updated AI & Filter Data, Updated Camera App, Updated Gallery App), Google Phone (Stable), Google Sans, Pixel Roboto & Various Other Fonts, Pixel WiFi Mod, Sunshower as Default Alarm, QMemo+ 7, The big adventure as Default Ringtone, Updated Relevant System Overlays, US GPS Config, YouTube Vanced (Black), V40 Equalizer Settings;

She builds it to work with North American variants, specifically US998 and VS996 -- but others with H30 and H930DS have also managed to run it. But if you complain about the module not working with non-US998 or non-VS996, she will ignore you. One guy was able to run past version on his H930DS, and then complained a newer version didn't work. Don't do that. I think he now has even newer version working, but it's nothing @TotallyAnxious will help you with.
She also doesn't entertain suggestions about what else her mod should do or should not do, or how she should supply vast amounts of information in a catalog of every new release. It's her personal module she is sharing with the world -- and it only needs to work on her personal phone. Having said that, it's a big reason why I am still on stock rooted firmware on my US998 V30+.
I'm rooted, I have TWRP custom recovery, I have ad blocker, I have some mods that improve my phone.

Got it. Thank you for your response. This was my first root ever so I'm pretty much a noob. I guess I'll get back to stock rooted Android 8.. the camera is one of the most important features in this phone. For me that is. A bit sad, I'm really loving the Pie interface. Guess I'll be waiting for LG's official release.

Netflix has just dropped HDR support for LG G6

Hi,
I've just noticed that after latest application update Netflix has dropped the HDR video support on LG G6.
Looks like it's broken in Android 9.0 update.
Some time ago I thought it's working well, after I compared the video quality with Sony Xperia XZ2. At the first sight it seemed to be working OK, but it was not.
So, sad news, actually, taking also into account we don't know about any other system update being prepared for the LG G6.
Hi, I didn't update G6 to Pie but recently I noticed that HDR option disappeared on netfix and I digged out that the reason is the update of the application itself. Returning to the older version from October 2019 solves my problem HDR and HQ image. I will also add that the latest version of the application indicated that the material can be played max in SD quality (?!). In the older version there are no such annotations but I think the image quality is much better.
With latest, updated Pie release (30b) the HDR in Netflix is back in place.

Hardware Decoder help?

I'm hoping someone could help me with a video problem I'm having. I use my Touchpad mostly as a wall mounted tablet to display a security camera. I'm currently using the Evervolv 7.1.2 Android Nougat Rom which I love and it works so smooth! However, when using the Wyze Labs app that goes with my cameras and also when trying the Tiny Cam Pro app, when trying to enable Hardware Decoder in the apps for video, it fails. It forces me to use the software decoder instead, which works, but is laggy and stutters at times.
I also tried the LineageOS 14.1 Android Nougat 7.1.2 by invisiblek Rom and had the exact same issue.
HOWEVER.... When using the Dirty Unicorns v8.1 Android Oreo by Flintman Rom, the hardware decoder works in both apps with that Rom, but the Touchpad doesn't run nearly as quick and smooth for me as it does with Evervolv 7.1.2
Does anyone have any idea on how to get the hardware decoder to work in either 7.1.2 Rom.
By the way, I'm also using the Max Extreme optimize 1782 if that makes any difference.

I can not test those Apps as I do not have any way to connect to any security cameras. I do know that the Tablet's video recording capabilities is better with Oreo and Pie.
It maybe the Kernel or the Android ROMs for those version. Did you try setting the Tablet as posted on this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/general/hp-touchpad-optimize-android-swap-t3901773
You mentioned the use of MaXtreme, but did you flash Oreo or Pie using ROM Reducer and also the 1836 Speed?
All ROMs have the same settings applied at the Kernel level and should perform very similar.

I think it may have something to do with the MaXtreme. I tried several ROMs over the weekend in all sorts of combos, some with the ROM reducer and also with the 1836 speed. Anyway, last night I tried one more time with the DU 13 Pie ROM and the hardware decoder worked with both apps. However, after I got it running, I flashed the MAX_1836_CPU_Universal_Optimize_Swap Zip that goes with that ROM and the Hardware decoder stopped working again on both apps. After a quick dirty flash of the ROM without the MaX_1836 , HW Decoder came back. I haven't tried Rom Reducer yet on this ROM, but I may just leave it as is since I'm really only using this particular tablet as a wall mounted display, so as long as it works to display the cameras reliably, I don't need the tablet do work well with anything else.
Thanks for the reply!

All the optimized Kernels improve the CPU frequency ( overclock ) with the most fastest possible settings. But it does not disable or remove any features.

It is great to know that is working one way or the other and that is what's so great about the Tablet, many different options available that still makes it usable!

Out of curiosity I installed the Tiny Cam App using Evervolv 7.1.2 ( ROM Reducer) with MaXtreme 1836.
Attached are the screenshot that shows H.264/H.265 decoder is available . I do not know why it does not work for you, but it should work for everyone.
Click HERE for the Installation Guide
Also I use Evervolv 7.1.2 with the same set up to record and playback video in 2592x1944 resolution over WiFi.

The decoder shows as available however, when I enabled either Hardware or Hardware+ and then connect to a live camera stream, a message pops up that says something like "Hardware Decoder H264 has failed, Switching to Software decoder" Then the camera video plays using the software decoder. That works. but lags 15 seconds and skips. In the Wyze app which is by the camera manufacturer, Enable Hardware decoder is an option in the app account menu. When enabled, the camera does connect, but the video is just a black screen along with the counting bitrate. It does play with hardware decoder switched off. With the Wyze app, lot's of Android devices, especially older devices need the hardware decoder because without it, the live video lags like 20 seconds and stutters. There were tons of complaints on the Wyze forums for a while when Wyze temporarily removed the hardware decoder option due to some change in Android about a year ago.

In Hardware Decoder the GPU will be doing the work, in Software it will be the CPU. The codec is very important when it comes to playback.
I have found the MX Player App is the best to play videos. I downloaded a video to test from this site:
https://www.appsloveworld.com/sample-hd-video-download/
Tested on Evervolv 7.1.2 and Pie with the same results, the attached screenshots are of 7.1.2. In both Tablets the MaXtreme is use as it provides the fastest CPU.
Not all videos, or streams are encoded the same or using a codec that will work using the GPU ( Hardware plus decoder ). It gets complicated and specially on this old device.
If the wrong encoding option is selected then it will not play, but software using the CPU will work. Using the highest CPU frequency the Tablet can handle should help with software decoder.
