Hello dear users and developers of firmware for the device LG V30+
Today I became the owner of LG v30+ 4/128 (H930DS), currently it has a software version installed: Android 7.1.2, Kernel version 4.4.63, Software version V10d-IND-XX (I don’t quite understand what the last meaning means)
I respect all developers of firmware for this device, but I want to ask which firmware is more stable (where both camera modules work well and there is support for the built-in analog digital converter) and has more functions in terms of interface customization? Interested in Android version 8 and 9.
Thank you for paying attention to this thread. :fingers-crossed:

V10d-IND-XX
"10" means Nougat
20 would be Oreo.
Your best bet right now is to update to early Oreo (pre-July 2018) to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and root. Then update to current rooted Oreo firmware.
Everything will work, and you can flash Magisk modules to get some custom stuff.
See WTF thread for bootloader unlock and TWRP.

Tell me please, do I understand you well? Do you offer to upgrade to the Oreo version, install twrp and root on your smartphone and stay on the original LG Oreo firmware?
There are several nuances that I forgot to clarify. It is desirable that the firmware was without GApps, from Google services I use only a translator. (I have not used GApps for more than two years)

Connect smartphone to the Internet. Writes that a software update is available to the version: V10e-JAN-23-2018. Update device? Can I then install TWRP and root after this update?

Stock firmware doesn't use GAPPS.
Yes, stay on Oreo stock firmware, but unlock bootloader, install TWRP. After that, there's an updated stock OREO H930DS TWRP-flashable zip you can flash to update to latest Oreo.

Stock firmware uses gapps, otherwise you wouldnt have any play services on the phone when you buy it
And how much of the gapps are used depends on how much google makes the manufacturers install, changes every now and then.

OK to clarify, you don't install AOSP GAPPS package with stock firmware.
It already has the apps, and you can manually install what else you need.

Does the standard firmware already have GApps? I would not want to have a GApps core in a smartphone.
Even if we take into account the smallest NANO package, then it has the following components and telemetry as a gift.
Device Health Services
Google App (Search)
Google Package Installer (replaces stock / AOSP Package Installer)
Google Play services
I would like a clean firmware without any trace of google. What can you recommend?

You don't need "GAPPs" on stock. The firmware has what it needs already.
You are complicating the requirements if you now also want no Google. You wanted no bugs.
Tell you what. Unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root, and update to latest firmware. After that, you're on your own.
You can install whatever custom ROM you want, but there's none with no bugs at this point in time.

I apologize for the concern, I am very grateful for your help. But I still do not understand. Is Android upgraded from the air with the Nougat 7.1.2 V10d-IND-XX version to V10e-JAN-23-2018 version? (This is exactly what my smartphone is now offering, as it writes on the display of the device)
In your "WTF" thread, I read about my device:
US998 Oreo, European H930 Oreo, H930DS Oreo, and open market V30S Oreo have the fastboot flash commands and boot loader unlock flaw. (With pre-July 2018 security patch firmware; don't worry, we can get you there.) At present, if you have post-July Android security patch, you can downgrade to unlock your bootloader.
* India H930DS would use the IND H930DS Oreo KDZ. which has India-specific VoLTE for carriers like Jio -- with pre-July 2018 security patch firmware

And I don’t understand whether I need to be updated or not needed to be updated in order not to make an downgrade.
I will clarify that we need a European version of the firmware.
And once again, I apologize for my poor knowledge of English.

Please do not mention any "10" (Nougat) firmware you are seeing. I've told you 3 times now that's old, outdated. You need "20" Oreo, but to UNlock bootloader you need specific version of Oreo before then updating to current Oreo. It will have a 20. Like 20A.
Updating from old version of Nougat to slightly less old version of Nougat does no good. You can NOT unlock H930DS bootloader on Nougat. You need to jump to specific version of Oreo.

You can use any region H930 or H930DS firmware you wish.
The only exception is for India H930DS for those that need India carrier Jio VoLTE.
I assumed you needed India firmware because that's what you have right now. But you can cross flash to Europe H930 if you wish.
In my WTF INSTRUCTIONS I even give a link to European H930DS OREO KDZ firmware. You can use that, if you wish.
You need to print it those instructions and read them several times.

Congratulations! You successfully updated to Oreo and followed the WTF instructions to it install TWRP and root.
What version firmware are you on now? Are you on H930DS or H930 firmware? If H930DS, which one? CIS?
Did you update to newer firmware after the bootloader unlock TWRP and root stage? LG improved the camera more with latest Oreo updates.
I have Settings screenshot suggestions with Google Photos link in that thread and my KDZ threads. Everyone has their own preferences, but there's so many deep (almost hidden) menus on this device it's easy to overlook some useful toggle (like the lock screen weather animations). And with root, I've been able to enable them all -- not just the two LG has as default.
I've also enabled call recorder and installed some other mods. I also use this one, but may not be compatible with your H930DS/H930.

I don't know the answer to that. I know there are AOSP custom ROMs which can be used without GAPPs and you can install MicroG. The problem until recently with the custom ROMs for the V30 (I said recently) has been replicating various functionality of stock firmware as well as stock firmware. VoLTE, quad DAC (with digital filters), cameras, Always On Display, brightness controls on display, no audio on apps like WhatsApp. A lot of that has been fixed or improved considerably and is still under constant development -- but the title of this thread is "best custom firmware without bugs"... At this point in time I'm not sure that exists, but may in the near future.
For me, I'm running rooted stock firmware with various mods and you can also debloat stuff like the social media apps you do not use. There are threads around about what is "safe" to remove and what isn't. The problem is you besides "no bugs", then you threw in additional "no Google" requirment.
So, run most recent rooted stock firmware for awhile just so you know how it feels. Flash some mods so you can get some customization. THAT will be your baseline. THEN, after making good TWRP backup, you can try experimenting with some of the AOSP ROMs with microG. Good luck.

I apologize for the wording “completely without errors”, I meant without critical errors, such as spontaneous reboot, camera drop after one shot or during video recording, constant disconnection from Wi-Fi. With the wording "without errors", which I had in mind the most common critical errors. I went through all these errors on the zuk z1 device, but today the camera and stabilization, calls, sounds and other functions work perfectly for him, the only thing that did not suit me in this device was 64 GB of memory without the possibility of expanding the microsd card and processor the old x32 architecture and the inefficient Adreno 330 graphics core without Open GL 3.2 support
Now the firmware H930DS20c_00_OPEN_CIS_DS_OP_0419 is installed on my device, in the item “Check for updates” it is written that today I have the latest software version, but I suspect that I don’t know the forum and the updates don’t come because the bootloader is unlocked,
First, I will try to update the firmware to the latest version (if I find how to do it) and remove all unnecessary programs, if nothing good comes of it, then most likely I will install AIS firmware (recommended on another forum with a link to the xda forum )
Tell me, now with the help of root and twrp I can make a full backup of the firmware data H930DS20c_00_OPEN_CIS_DS_OP_0419, and then I can restore it through the same twrp?

Here's a link to the latest 20E CIS H930DS, released back in September:
https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/16406/H930DS20e_00_OPEN_CIS_DS_OP_0824.kdz
The way you would flash it is via LGUP, but UNcheck "recovery" partitions to keep TWRP custom recovery. Then you would boot to TWRP and re-flash the no encryption, no root checker files and Magisk again. It's somewhat a pain, which is why people like to flash the TWRP-flashable zip versions when available.

Reboot into TWRP using the app shortcut I suggested in the WTF thread and go to backup and make a backup. If you use internal memory it's FAST to make backup, but probably also want to use microSD card (much slower) storage so that if you completely wipe your phone you have that backup in a safe place. When you go to restore you will navigate to the place you stored it on your phone.

Fortunately all of the Google related apps can be disabled in the settings on the stock ROM (US998). I'm running stock non-rooted and Google-less with amazing battery life. If you are rooted then you can even use Titanium Backup to freeze anything Google.

You need stock Pie to run any LOS-17 ROMs like Havoc 3.X. You cannot boot LOS-17 ROMs from stock Oreo or if you manage to succeed they will be messed up.

Yes, I keep my threads updated. But it's not necessarily post #1 you need to worry about. Read the upgrade instructions top of post #2 and also post #6. Some people have issues updating to wonky US998 Pie. So, we have workarounds.
If you are going to install a custom ROM afterwards, you need unlocked bootloader. So, don't update to Pie before doing that, since the first step you need for unlocked bootloader is to (temporarily) be on early Oreo. For US998, that means US998 20a or 20b.
If you are still on US998 20h, from earlier post, your first step would be to temporarily downgrade to US998 20a or 20b. See the WTF Instructions. Read them in a web browser, not an app. Apps like Tapatalk or XDA tend to truncate sections of very long posts like that.
AFTER that, then you can update to Pie blobs (drivers) and then install LOS-17 based ROMs. You only stay on early Oreo just long enough to unlock bootloader and install TWRP, etc. But you need to update to stock Pie firmware (either KDZ or TWRP-flashable zip) to then install LOS-17 based ROMs.
Is it still

Is it still good to go to android version 9? Or is 10 more appropriate for my wife's LGV30+?
I have an app that does not work after Android 8 that I need and there is no replacement in 9 or above. I managed to avoid updating my v30 to v9 and later for a year or so. It accidentally allowed the update to 9 this past weekend while I was camping. All I want to do is roll back to stock v8 or 8.1 (Oreo).
I have enough tech knowledge to follow directions and understand rooting but am having a really hard time finding the "right directions." As I was reading some of them, I found caveats like, "Use X unless you have the delta update and then use Y but not if you want to run Z. For Z, you have to follow this other thread." I also know that using the wrong settings or data file could brick the phone.
So, I'm hoping someone can help me narrow down what sets of directions I need to follow.
Here's what I have right now:
LG V30 (VS996) On Verizon Network
Developer Options Enabled
Android V9
Security Patch Level August 1, 2019
Kernel Version: 4.4.153
Build #: PKQ1.190414.001
Software version: VS99630c
Again, all I want to do is roll back to stock v8 or 8.1 (Oreo).
Bonus would also be a way to stop asking me every day to update or delay a day and just wait until I manually do it.
Thx in advance!!

Follow the instructions on both the pages. I think you can take it from here.
Note that implied with this process is that you cannot downgrade your firmware without wiping the phone... there's no way to "patch" back to the old version. So, be sure to take backups FIRST.
If you're rooted on the old firmware, you can then disable/freeze/delete the update APKs so that the update warning goes away. But this requires root, so be aware of that. If you don't haven't rooted already, then this is a process of its own, and will require you to go back to Nougat in order to perform that, so you may want to do that before installing the final version of the ROM you want. You can find out how to do this rooting process on the WTF thread, post #193, located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ar-instructions.3790500/page-10#post-76584629
If you don't want to root, that's fine, but then you must endure the update warning process... unless you can find another way to disable the update APKs.
Thank you both. I expected to wipe the phone so that's not an issue. I will first install Nougat, root and then update to Oreo.
There are about 14 Oreo ROMs on that site. Do I just pick the latest one or do I have to pick the earliest one and update that?
Pick the latest one.
