G8x thinq custom kernel - LG G8X ThinQ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De

First of all: This is my first try to compile a kernel so dont expect to much
Device - LG G8x ThinQ LM-g850emw
firmware - 20f eu
used boot.img from 20f
source - original LG Source https://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=NAME&search=LMG850EMW
kernelmods : selinux Permissive at Boot
added cifs/smb in Menuconfig
added f2fs in Menuconfig
added this drivers https://github.com/Harrydmc/android_kernel_lge_mh2lm/commit/16a78d8e0fa074b50f059eaeeb91ece276811fcb
added this fs modification https://github.com/Harrydmc/android_kernel_lge_mh2lm/commit/742ce5c233ede4ab7f2e2712889b89228c65a92b
disabled crc check https://github.com/Harrydmc/android_kernel_lge_mh2lm/commit/f5cd4926cbc424a636e62a5a19e792fa01b94916
this made it working https://github.com/Harrydmc/android_kernel_lge_mh2lm/commit/a900c94951b89546b09a3bfde81ffe69dc0df375
So far for me everything works ( wifi,audio,calls,sensors etc )
Install : try it first with fastboot boot bootmagiskpatched.img
if that works flash it with fastboot flash boot_a bootmagiskpatched.img
fastboot flash boot_b bootmagiskpatched.img
Primary goal was getting drivedroid working so if someone knows how pls tell me
Secondary goal was ability to mount smbshare on internal storage ( not working )

Really cool. Finally some development for g8x

---

Man, thank you for your effort!
I installed the kernel while using the Havoc 3.12 GSI ROM. The system booted up beautifully. The only downside is SafetyNet not certifying it. But this is probably because Selinux is set to permissive. I hope your work will be stable soon. Best of luck!

---

Glad we got a kernel finally! But for some reason though, I can't get it to boot. What compiler did you use? Maybe I could help get DriveDroid working? I'd like that too actually.

Havoc-OS - Browse /arm64-ab at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
I installed version 3.12 with GAPPS included.
I have not tested the CTS module but as it is very difficult to pass the safetypass check with the kernel in permissive mode so I went back to the stock kernel.
I installed Havoc using TWRP as system image.

2. Kernel Build
- Uncompress using following command at the android directory
a) tar -xvzf *_Kernel_Q.tar.gz
- When you compile the kernel source code, you have to add google original "prebuilt" source(toolchain) into the android directory.
- Run following scripts to build kernel
a) cd kernel/msm-4.14
b) export CROSS_COMPILE=../../../prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin/aarch64-linux-android-
c) export CLANG_TRIPLE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
d) make O=./out ARCH=arm64 vendor/mh2lm-perf_defconfig
e) make O=./out ARCH=arm64 REAL_CC=../../../prebuilts/clang/host/linux-x86/clang-r353983c/bin/clang -j24
* "-j24" : The number, 24, is the number of multiple jobs to be invoked simultaneously.
- After build, you can find the build image(Image) at kernel/msm-4.14/out/arch/arm64/boot
its the readme from original source i used

Fingerprint sensor, DT2W and Dual-Screen is not working man.
Otherwise everything works perfectly.
Most likely it can be installed on any version with access to TWRP.

Is there any problem apart from FP, D2TW and dual screen?

LG G8X is a popular device in India bcaz of a Sale of device for less than 300$ just like Poco f1 . It would be great if I get a 62 Hz or more overclock mod as PUBG MOBILE 90FPS config works for 60hz+ devices and it improves fire rate of guns dramatically .
Please just make a mod even if it just 62hz I will be greatly thankfull
