Hey. It seems like the "new" 4.0.4 (4.1.B.1.13) is available through Vodafone. I've just updated my phone and here are my thoughts.
1. The notification led problem hasn't been fixed.
2. There's no new kernel.
3. It's a bit smoother than .587. (Actually it's not. Just placebo.)
4. The touchpad responds better. (Placebo)
5. The dialer is much faster.
EDIT:
6. I'm disappointed in Sony. I've waited so long for this update and it's a pile of t****, slow and buggy. If you're still on GB, stick with it, don't "update"!
EDIT:
7. Sony, are you playing us? Video recording still laggy, audio output is still mono.
EDIT: According to CTCaer the only real change is related to WiFi libraries. There's also a new baseband which might also solve some signal issues. That's all folks! Don't expect better overall performance.
Download: http://d-h.st/WcP
Note. Vodafone branded. Contains carrier bloatware.
Some screens and Benchmarks.
still same pathetic mixed ui
What other changes? more screenshots please)) there is a problem with the network mode?
i'm still curious about what did they update actually. kernel is still the same exact kernel as .587, bit by bit.
if notification led and buggy video record with stabilizer on haven't been fixed, what is the change then?
btw i can see the baseband is .85 now.

seriously? then what's the change? why this firmware?
Total waste of time. Going back to my sweet ginger because this update is a total fail. Also, this is totally my last Sony phone.
Whether switching of a mode of a network (2G/3G) after reboot is corrected?

Did they fix network mode resetting?
Did they changed, added, removed any widgets?
Is there still double "Fun & Downloads" widget?
Does "media shortcuts" widget still takes 4x2 grid instead 4x1 which is proper?
Is WiFi coverage still as weak as before?
Is app drawer still laggy as before?
Is overall experience still cluttered and choppy as before?
Is gaming still "mission impossible" as before?
I guess it will take some time to answer all this, but we're not rushing anywhere. Take your time.
this is like they mock us -.-
they releasing new firmware with no noticable changes

5,6,7) It's still full of lag. Homescreen switching is slow and choppy, the app drawer is the same. Video recording laggy and mono sounded. Gaming is laggy, for example, Temple Run lags, same as on .587
As for the rest, I can't tell for sure. Once I saw how bad it runs, I switched back to GB.
What's the change except numbers then?
thank god this is xda, custom rom and kernel beat the hell out of oem stock rom.
but at least they tried.
well try again next time, sony. try harder
sony just change number >>>
Why they release new firmware when there is no change?

Like I said before on several occations, Gingerbread is light year ahead of this half-finished ICS wannabe.
In everything - period.
Beside fanciness and somewhat wider choice of apps, which will appeal to "up to date" type of users.
But everything (important) else is on side of GB really. Usability, performance, rock solidness, stability, gaming, etc etc...
As for me, I'm sick of waiting for something to happen, and then being slapped in face harder than before, over and over again.
I was using (torturing myself) ICS in last few weeks just for trying to make myself to like it, and hoping that new update will make it usable finally, but now...
I'm going back to GB for good, at least with this phone. This ICS experience made me appreciate GB even more than before. So, dear fast and usable GB, here I come. I'm sorry I ever left you.

As in title. EVERY single oreo ROM works good for a while, and after like 2 hours it's starting to lag, stutter and is practically unusable. What's the reason behind that? Nougat ROMs works like a charm tho
I'm experiencing it too. I've tried 12 Oreo roms so far.

Have you tried any custom kernel on oreo roms? I'm using AEX 5.1 a few days with velvet kernel and i'm still trying to figure out whether i stick to oreo or go back to rr.

If you are experiencing those lags you should definitely go back to rr. Yeah I have tried every single kernel, but it seems that it's not a big help.

I haven't experienced any lags that make phone unusuable. A few spikes might come up when using and switching between heavy apps maybe, but not in a way that make phone feel laggy. I use this phone as a daily driver so i can't stand with lags etc. That was my main concern before switching to oreo, but it looks really fine to me. Also, using velvet kernel (limited to 1.6ghz by default) those tiny spikes i mentioned look normal to me. I don't use phone for gaming, so it's enough for me as long as battery and smoothness are balanced.

I used AEX 5.1 for a few days with no problem. I just found a bug in airplane mode in this rom (which i don't like) so i decided to change rom once again Using Cardinal AOSP for a few hours, with same apps installed as in AEX, i find this rom much smoother.

Try pressing recents button from home. If you have overlays like swipepad, you'll experience extreme stuttering when you go to recents from your homescreen.
This doesn't happen in nougat ROMs.

It struggles to render when you have a lot of overlays like swipepad or Facebook chat heads or some floating thingie on your screen. Since not everyone uses them, only a small number of people experience the stutters and hence their posts get ignored.
The issue is with "surfaceflinger", which is what is responsible for drawing UI elements. Test using swipepad on your RR ROM. Install it, enable it, go to home and press recents. If you're not sure, try more apps that draw on your screen (like screen filter, meteor swipe etc)
Please report the results here as I'd be happy to switch to any Oreo rom that doesn't have the issue (but I'm pretty sure I've tried them all and omnirom had it the least, so I'm on that). Also I'd like to know whether the OP uses any such apps.
Hello,
I'm on LOS 14 right now and I'm wondering if it is worth upgrade to Oreo. Is it still all that buggy with connection problems and what not?

Only play mobile legends and coc. On oreo roms its hard to multi touch its way to sensitive and the touch is way too shaky. After downgrading to nougat it was fixed. Maybe it is the surfacefling thing.

In my opinion, stay with Nougat for now. There are many awesome Oreo ROMs out there (thanks to the amazing developers) but most of them have some bugs. If you want stability, I suggest you stick to Lineage or any other nougat ROM for now.
Kudos to developers!
Hello my fellow LG G6 users,
after I got my LG G6 I unlocked the bootloader and installed Fulmics ROM without hesitation. I don't really care about my warranty when I on the other hand have the ability to enjoy the newest LG UX, Magisk with Viper4Android and the iOS Emojis, or the better battery life. Using a AOSP ROM really never came to my mind since it's known for it's bugs, bad picture quality, battery life and so on. So I used Fulmics 4.2, Melina Kernel and Magisk.
With the announcement of Oreo I really got excited for it, but after @xpirt (btw thanks for your work, beginning with the G3) announced that he likely won't continue Fulmics ROM on the G6 this excitement was quickly demolished. I really rely on some of the tweaks of the ROM. But since I really wanted to see the improvements of Oreo so I flashed the Firmware a few days ago.
Starting with the Firmware for the H870. First of all it's hard to even get the newest (20B) since this is the version with the camera improvements and rebranding of the G6. But after installing it I quickly realized that there are many issues with the Oreo build and many missing features you may know from Nougat and the Fulmics ROM.
1. Original icons are not working with the Stock Google Apps. There will always be this white frame around most of the icons, which is not as good looking as before
2. When you're using bluetooth headphones you will get a persistent notification that you can switch your media output between the G6 speakers and your bluetooth output. A so called "feature". I really don't know how to get rid of it, since you cannot silence it. LINK
3. Battery life is the worse I've ever seen, even worse than AOSP Roms. I'm not even a heavy user but I only get around 3hrs Screen On time which is unacceptable for a last year 2017 flagship.
4. Always on Icons like the battery percentage and the battery symbol itself are not removable and they will always be there LINK
5. Neat features like customization of the QS tiles and volume up/down for skipping tracks on your music app are gone
6. Bluetooth connectivity is in general worse, headphones are randomly disconnecting. LINK
7. SD Card issues with the unofficial 20B build on the westwood24 Firmware 20A thread. SD Cards over 32GB seem to be corrupted for the system
8. Some notifications are not getting displayed like the notification badge on the app icons
These are only some of things that really bother me on pure Stock Oreo. Even with Magisk and Substratum installed which are able to do some of the things, Fulmics Tweaks is easily capable of, with many difficulties.
This thread should not blame LG (Maybe a bit with there so called "features") but may warn some of the users on a very customized and good Fulmics Version when they think about switching to the stock Oreo Firmware, since I personally going to switch back to Fulmics.
Feel free to comment possible solutions for the problems (s.o.) or your own experience with Stock Oreo.
I experience none of the problems with stock oreo.
Its way better than fulmics.

Just edited some links into the thread supporting my points. Which problems exactly don't you have with stock Oreo ?
I don't want miss the new 1password function. This is new in Oreo. Security and so on are better with Oreo. No, I don't want go back to fulmics. Fulmics are very nice, but I need the Oreo features.

I have workarounds for some of these problems. I am on unrooted, stock oreo.
1. Custom launcher with an icon pack. Easy solution.
2. You COULD try disabling the bluetooth app with LG Package disabler, which silences the notification. However, things start to break. I figure, since you're rooted, you could do something with Tasker. Just an idea.
3. Debloat. Or, use LG Package disabler. My battery is nowhere near as bad - an average of 4-5hrs SoT, and this seems to work just fine.
4. It's not really a remedy or anything, but I use the app "Glimpse Notifications" instead of AoD, which turns on the screen briefly and shows the notification. It uses very little battery.
5. Never found those useful, and I don't use the stock music app. Aren't QS tiles still customizable?
6. I just don't use bluetooth headphones. We still have a headphone jack, don't you remember?
7. Never encountered this issue because I have a 16gb sd card.
8. Works on Nova just fine. Maybe check the stock launcher's notification permissions.
As much as I dislike this phone, I've just gotta make do with what I have until my contract is up.
Same here. Honestly, I'm not have these issues either.
The only thing that bothers me after the update is the slight but noticeable performance hit, mainly the lag when starting apps that aren't already running in the background.
But I haven't done a factory reset (out of laziness) which might take care of the problem.

I get 5 hrs SOT with 20b. Don't know why one would get three, but the Rom or Oreo are not the reason apparently.
I like the stock ROM, even though I've been using custom on several phones before this one, since it has VOLTE and T-mobile wifi calling. Don't see any lag I have not been able to get rid of.
I agree it's a bummer that the devs have mostly walked out on the G6.
RR used to be the best but the version for this phone doesn't have much.. Can anyone recommend another rom? I like to adjust the recents menu, especially if I can make it stack vertical instead of horizontal.

Really the horizontal? There are no titles, no way to read quickly, and you have to scroll slowly one by one. There's basically no way to even get through all your open apps if you have more than maybe 5.

Don't need titles when there's an app icon at the top, you don't have to scroll slowly past them.... A big swipe gets you to the other end of the list easily.
It's the worst thing to happen to Android, even with plenty of other aggravations every year. Remember when they linked call and alert volume for no reason? The people designing these phone system plans have my least respect.

Did you ever get a straight answer on this? I'm intending to go with RR because it has an alternative to the abomination that is the current Android recents (I could rant here, again, but I won't ).
EDIT: Answer by self. RR's Slim Recents works perfectly; better than stock Android's recents, even before they murdelized it.
Hey All !
I'd like to know if anybody knows if there's an option not to hide the notch in the system, i can't find that in the settings, even in Notifications & Control Center/Status Bar.
That's kinda annoying because i have a black bar on some full screen apps.

If the issue is with the notch, you want to take a look at developer options, but if the issue is with full screen apps is in the settings from the app to allow or not displaying them in this mode.

Hey Guys !
So I flashed the xiaomi.eu ROM and there is the same issue, i tried SubwayChamp's method without success because i can't install the apk found in the guide
I don't know what to do, it's really dumb to have such a bar with the mix 4 screen...
Crazy isnt it, buy a phone with an under display camera and still get screen missing, i think the only phone i had that worked perfect was the Oneplus 7 pro.
Probably you can try by "moving" the screen (or simulating to do that) by reducing the screen tall.
If this method is still available in the current android version, you can try it https://nerdschalk.com/change-screen-resolution-adb-android/
For example, the resolution in MM4 is 2400x1080 if my source is not wrong, so you can do by trial-and-error 2370x1080, if not then 2350x1080 till get a comfortable view.
In MIUI-12.5 there is no option of moving screen smaller by reducing screen tall. They removed this option. This is causing problem, some notification icons get hidden under the front cam notch. Irritable thing.
Once you have Magisk installed, use this module
Tried with Xiaomi.eu, works perfectly
Without Root, any solution?
@Uometydev Nice, it's better than nothing, it would be perfect to find something that doesn't require ROOT.

Hello guys, I am considering to buy Mi Mix 4 and it is really difficult to find info on this other than youtube reviews all saying same stuff.
My question is, if I use the stock ROM and no root, will I get this black bar or notch sometimes? I thought the camera was always hidden?
Second question is, how invisible is the camera really? On some video reviews, when the screen is off or on a white background, I can see the circle for the camera, but someone said it is just the cutout on the screen protector. So the screen protector has a hole for camera? Anyone tried removing the screen protector? Is the cutout or the camera completely invisible then?

My question is, if I use the stock ROM and no root, will I get this black bar or notch sometimes? I thought the camera was always hidden?
Second question is, how invisible is the camera really? On some video reviews, when the screen is off or on a white background, I can see the circle for the camera, but someone said it is just the cutout on the screen protector. So the screen protector has a hole for camera? Anyone tried removing the screen protector? Is the cutout or the camera completely invisible then?

Hey !
I had that black bar when i received the device on an official ROM, it may be fixed later tho (or have been fixed on official).
As i'm using xiaomi.eu Rom atm i can't tell but i still got that issue on some apps with EU rom, to me, that's the only drawback the phone has atm.
The camera is really hard to see, you can see it when you're screen brightness is low mostly on dark grey colors. When you're using it with full or 75% brightness it is slightly visible on dark colors (except black where it invisible because of the OLED) but it is really good and million times better than a hole punch.
Imo it is not an issue : I never bought a phone with a notch because i can't stand this and believe me, the UPC on the MIX 4 is amazing.
