Hi,
when I try any ARCore app on my V30, it keeps showing me an animation of hand with a phone and tells me that it's looking for a surface, but I can't get past this stage. I don't think I am doing anything wrong, because it worked perfectly on my last phone. I've had this issue since switching to this phone with android oreo and now after updating to pie, it doesn't work either. I tried Messure, AR Elements, Just a Line and 3D Scanner, all with the same result. Also the phone is on the list of supported devices and I found posts from people using V30 with ARCore. How can I make it work? Also I noticed that it uses the wide angle camera.
ARcore or any AR app still broken in every Pie build available by now. Need to wait next release update from LG to fix that.
I downgraded to oreo also because of this, ARsticker is quite fun to play with my kid
I didn't know it's a general issue with Pie. For me, it didn't even work in Oreo.

Have you tried this on oreo? For my us998 20h firmware it works great, I can't wait for LG to fix on Pie because Playground has more AR apps than ARCore

No I haven't. Thanks for your help, but to me, ARCore is probably not worth setting up all of my apps all over again. I tried uninstalling all updates of the ARCore play services and wiping it's data, but it didn't help. Also I tried it on my friends Galaxy S8, which had the same problem. So the only phone I had with working AR was Nokia 8, which I no longer have.

Yap it's quite annoying to setting up all apps again. But since mostly V30 oreo works with ARcore, there must be something that need to be reset on yours. And also for now avoid installing first Pie release for all AR apps won't work still.
So I've just gotten an update with the September security patch and ARCore finally works now. It also fixed some bugs regarding gesture control and made multitasking faster in general.

That's good LG fixed this quite fast
ARStickers work fine on my H933 on Pie.
I don't really use ARCore for much else on the regular.

I installed the following file for the Google Camera HDR+ and it worked. I'm using the H-ROM G6 Port, idk if that is a must.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617934890
Works for the Lineage-based ROM I'm using (Resurrection Remix) so I'm hopeful this will work for any ROM. HDR+ isn't making any difference for me at the moment though, what settings do we use?

doesnt work for me.
shows a black screen as if the camera would not work. when i switch to camera it will display everything correctly, switching back to photo mode will freeze the app.
so its kinda unusable

Doesn't matter what you choose, even opening settings and closing them without touching anything makes the app crash. The hdr+ switch is just a dummy, the photo quality and everything is just the same as stock google camera.

Did anybody manage to make HDR+ work on our G4?
I've spent 4 hours testing lots of different versions and lots of different settings but still either app crashes or there's no difference between HDR+ on and off...
If you guys have the solution please let us know

A few days back a new version of the app was released on app mirror.
There is no official statement whether this update is for which one of the device but I've found out that it works perfectly on OnePlus 3/3T/5. Just on the 3/3T a few things that OnePlus 5 has are not present due to hardware limitations.
This update has- A complete UI overhaul ( much intuitive according to me ) and a little quality improvement as reported by few people.

To my devive all options are working smoothly !!!!:good:
Thanks a lot, I'm really surprised this works perfectly.
I did notice that in landscape if you pull up the menu, 2 of the options are cut off though.
Works wonderfully, excellent on the 3T with Android O. Only 2 issues I have are the landscape menu 2-options cut-off that the-blind-bandit noticed and also the pictures taken that show at the bottom-right when clicked on do not open Google Photos (I don't have the OnePlus Gallery installed) and so it just says No Photos when I click on that. The pics are still taken / saved and can be opened in Google Photos later. Minor annoyance, not usage-breaking.

Will the Google camera app ever work for our device?
If yes, how would it because i have constantly tried many versions of Google camera but none either including the latest HDR+ mods.
(I get the message App close-Open app again everytime)
Used the Camera2API enabler. Even then it didn't work. Is there a way?
I have the same problem,works only on version 4.1,and that without hdr+,if someone is porting the latest version of Google Camera on our device,it will work,but without hdr+,because our smartphone does not support camera2api. ROM:LOS 14.1
Does it work on srock rom

I do not recommend though, I've tested it a bit, and in terms of apps you can't really install much, since most of the apps install but the crash right after XD.
Now seriously if this is your main device i don't recommend it, Bluetooth stops working sometimes and it's not stable when connected to sound stuff...No stable music no good
Plus there's some settings issues, nfc works well tho, play services sometimes stop, i don't recommend restoring from cloud or a local backup otherwise It will have serious problems
like play services rebooting XD

so, i just tried it for a few hours. way more fluid than stock. no problems so far.
all you need for it to work without FCs is to NOT restore a backup from the cloud

Sorry, I misspelled
Off late I had installed it.. AOSP, LOS and RR... all three of them and all of them booted very well.
On LOS I had flashed Gapps and Su as well and all worked well too.
Performance is really very good and I had not faced any FCs. All google apps worked well too...
The only thing I didn't like was the status bar.. Its not really optimized or tuned for the Notch and there is no option to get rid of the notch the way you can in EMUI.
The status bar with looks ugly and takes away the fun to use it phone.
Camera on the other hand is not so good and lacks the features of EMUI... e.g. beauty mode, color filters, editing, bokeh effect, etc.. etc.. and made me dissatisfied.
I am hoping that soon we will have a special tuned version for P20 Lite and holding reflashing till that time.
Hope it helps to the new flashers to make up their mind
Thanks
has anyone made google play to download apps ??
how do I stop this? I am not even logged on Playstore and all these weird games like solitaire keeps installing on its own.
It's adware triggered by first setup of the stock ROM. I was surprised when I got a US998 that it had all this adware, which was never on my former H932. I guess LG trying to make a few bucks on their phones.
You can you uninstall them. They'll come back if you perform a Factory Reset, but otherwise they'll stay away.

I've never seen this and it's not on my wife's phone, my mother's phone, my sister's phone, my brother in law's phone, nor other friends.
What exactly are you seeing?
Now 30b -- U.S. Cellular Pie -- has games which I had trouble removing on my backup phone. But I've never seen any bloatware or adware on US998 Oreo KDZ. Unless you count social media stuff like Facebook.
It happened on both of the US998 (Frankensteined LS998) which I bought from YYwireless on eBay. Both came with Pie 30b. One I rolled back to Oreo 20h, and it happened again. I did a lot of Factory Reset / Master Reset on this phone trying to solve a modem issue after rolling back to Oreo, and these apps and games reinstall every time I go through first-time setup.
I cannot say why you don't get them. My first thought was it might be tied to the US Cellular 30b firmware, but again, I get it on 20h as well.
Edit: Oh, it's social media as well as games: Wish, Solitaire... at least a dozen apps, most are ones I never heard of. And they are NOT baked into the ROM, but rather downloaded and installed after first setup (thus easy to uninstall). These are in addition to the Facebook and Instagram apps baked into the ROM.

The social media apps, yes. The games, that's strange.
But I never did a clean install from 20h. On all the phones I mentioned, I either updated over the months with TWRP-flashable zip (mine) or through Upgrade mode with KDZ via Dev Patched LGUP (all my friends, family members). Many started with 20c or 20d and then I updated them as LG released KDZ.

I bet that's why: If you were to do a wipe and clean install on 20h, I imagine you would get them too. The only other explanation I can think of is that there are two different variants of 20h, one for US cellular and one pure LG. I forget if I downloaded from LG-Firmwares or from the mirrors in your your thread. But even on LG-Firmwares there is a dozen uploads of it, as I recall. Don't know if anyone eve bothered comparing them.
Edit: The MD5 of my 20h KZ matches the one from your AFH upload. I am downloading from LG-Firmwares now to see if there is a difference. The LG bridge link is broken, so can't check that one.

Also, on my wife's I actually started with Nougat. We both have genuine Open Market USS98. My mother also.

I just finished downloading one of the 20h KDZs from LG-Firmwares, and it's the same MD5 as your AFH upload. Not a big surprise, I am sure you would have caught if there were two variants floating around.
So yes, I think anyone who does a clean install on 20h or newer will get this adware. My guess is that LG decided to leave the US998 to US Cellular at some point between 20b and 20h, and all new updates pass through them before being released -- and they are the ones inserting some adware to the ROM they get from LG.
I am curious, since you own some genuine Open Market US998s: Did you ever see an OTA offer of 20h? I assume not, since you were already rooted by then. But I am thinking that 20h may be just as much USC as 30b, and we're not going to get any "pure" LG Pie updates no matter how long we wait.

Thank you for replying. How do you fully remove this adware? The first app that mysteriously appeared is called Games(com.dti.folderlauncher) I disabled it in the settings then resorted to uninstalling it via Titanium backup. But the odd thing is that it still manages to install these random games and social media apps. At this point, I don't even know what's installing them all and I don't know what to disable. I mean what package even installed the Games(com.dti.folderlauncher) app in the first place? I have not logged to Google or LG even in the first place. It just installed by itself as soon as i connected to the internet.
I could also confirm that this Games(com.dti.folderlauncher) appears in 20e after my test awhile ago.

The ones I get are just plain apps being downloaded right after setup, even if I don't log in with an account. They're not from Play Store. I can uninstall them easily, either from the apps menu or from the launcher (Nova in my case).
I wonder if you're seeing something else than me: Anything you can Disable has to be a system app (baked into the ROM, still there ready to be enabled). But none of the ones I see are system apps: You uninstall them, and they're gone. That's why I am not overly concerned, just a slight nuisance.
I wish I could remember the exact names of them. If you list more app names, I can confirm if they're the same I saw.

I can uninstall all the apps except the Games app from Digital Turbine, I had to use titanium backup to uninstall it.
The apps that got installed automatically in order: Games(Digital Turbine) Delta Browser, News, Raid, Pandora, News Break, Wish, Pop! Slots, TikTok, SmartNews, Bingo Blitz, Board Kings, King of Avalon, Caesars Slots, Solitaire and Slotmania.
I have another question, do you have an idea why busybox is not working for me? I tried it on 20e and 20h and it shows (no info provided) on magisk. I downloaded it straight from magisk too.

Yeah, the other person who had issues mentioned that -- I now remember.
Since I didn't have any problems I didn't pay much attention at the time...

Thank you! I remember seeing that and wondering what it was! What a nasty piece of crap, including its legitimate sounding name. Right out of the spammers playbook. Shame on LG for allowing this.
@noddledizzy: Yes, that's the list of apps. All of them can be uninstalled, then disable that Mobile Services Manager. I don't remember a Games app, but there is a Gaming system app, which is legit and unrelated to these -- although I have no idea what it does.

Thank you! @ChazzMatt @TheDannemand
would it be possible to update the stock oreo roms and remove this? according to @TheDannemand, every new owners of US996 who wish to stick with stock roms are bound to get this.

May I also ask how you figured this out? I am curious to know how you were able to track the culprit.

If you remove it, it would have to be as a TWRP flashable zip, only for rooted users. We cannot create updated KDZs, they're signed and encrypted.
I don't think it's that big a problem: It's only once after clean install, and you just uninstall the downloaded apps and disable Mobile Services Manager.

Most Android phones seem to have it but can be used in nefarious ways by carriers for bloatware. The article recommends you disable it immediately.
I checked and I already have this frozen in Titanium Backup for some reason. Who knows when I did that?

Yes, that's the one.
What's interesting here is that US998 was supposed to NOT be a carrier device, so one expects it to be free from crap like this. Which again leads me to believe that there hasn't been a "pure LG" US998 update since 20e. They're all US Cellular now.
Edit: I used to own a H932, which I am sure didn't have this. To confirm, I just checked my wife's H932 (all stock, not even rooted) and it's not on there. I don't think the article is correct that most Androids have this. Certainly not higher end phones.
