Rogers Name Display? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Rogers Name Display? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I recently got a Nexus One and I love it so far. One issue I have with it is a network specific problem.
Rogers in Canada offers a feature called name display along with the caller ID. Basically it shows the persons name whos calling even though they are not on your contact list. Yes, I've seen these 411 apps that show you whos calling, but the Rogers name display one-ups that by giving you the name of cellphone numbers.
With my old Windows Mobile, I was able to download a cab file to enable this. Has anyone found a work around with Rogers? Or am I doomed to not know the identity of who's calling?

I hate to say this but I think we are out of luck I have been trying to find a way to get this to work since January. The question is, is this a network or an Android limitation? I think its an Android issue. I am hoping once Rogers starts to carry more Android phones the demand to have this fixed may be initiated by Rogers as they did with the Iphone. Again I am shooting from the hip here.
If you find anything please let me know. BTW Check out this link.

I found that the Samsung Galaxy S supports Name Call Display on the Rogers network. I always thought this was an Android limitation and not the manufacture but I am starting to think twice about that.
So, if you want Name Call Display to work on your Android phone and, then get the Samsung Galaxy S. No carries in Canada carry the device (YET) but it can easily be found on eBay.
Hope this helps.

Bell is getting the Vibrant and Rogers is also said to get another Galaxy S phone (unconfirmed to as of what yet)
If the Galaxy S has it maybe the feature can be extracted?

Has anyone managed to get Rogers Name Display (i.e., CNAP) to work on an Android device?

I called customer support about this within a week or two of the very first android handsets(dream and magic) became available in canada and I believe they said they were working on it.. that was almost 2 years ago. I've got a nexus one now and I guess I still have the same problem. Honestly, I forgot that it even was a problem ages ago. I doubt it will ever be fixed.

Rogers has the following newer models: Acer Liquid E, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and the Dell Streak. Are you saying none of these devices support CNAP?

Well, according to Rogers' website, only the following devices (according to them anyway) support CNAP, so we are out of luck:
Acer: A1
Apple: iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G-S
HTC: TYTN2, Diamond
LG: TU915, TU330, TU750, TE365, GR500r, GW620r, GD510, KM555, GB125R
Motorola: E8, VA76r, V9x, L7 (NFC), M990
Nokia: 3555c, 6086R, N95, 5310, 2260, 2680, E71, 5130, 6790, 6750, 2660, N97 Mini
RIM: 8110, 8120, 8820, 8320, 9000, 8220, 8900, 8520, 9700, 9100
Samsung: A736, A746, J706, A226, T336, F406, A836, A766, T456, S366, A256, A886, A796, GT-B5310R, GT-B3410R, B7330
Sony Ericsson: K850i, W350a, W760a, C905, W705a, X1, C510a
ZTE: F165
Rogers is useless as usual...

I guess it requires some specific software on the device the the nexus one wouldn't have. oh well..
Now, if rogers would release a new device that's actually good, I might consider using my upgrade to get it and then I wouldn't have this problem. I'll probably just end up waiting out the rest of my contract and then switching to Wind or Mobilicity though. Then again, the only way I'd get a good phone for either of those carriers is if t-mobile gets it and they haven't had much lately either..

If you read the bug report on the Android bug tracker there are reports that Name Display does work on the Samsung Galaxy S and Acer Liquid E. I think it is up to the manufacturers to add support but some just choose not to.

As far as I know,Rogers CNAP does not work on ANY Android device.

That would be incorrect, it is verified working on several devices such as the Galaxy S and the Acer Liquid
All new Android Devices in the past 12 months and going forward all will have CNAP added to them before they are released for the rogers network. I just really hope that some developer can get their hands on just one of these models and figure out how to get it to work on other Android devices. Do we really have to play 2nd fiddle to iPhone users who have had this functionality since v3.2??
I saw this posted in the Android bug reports page
"I believe that name display is supported on Android versions 2.2 and above by a CNAP command in the phone configuration (has to be put in manufacture) in order to enable the feature. Search for CNAP & Android for more info / modifications to enable."
I'm not sure if it's as simple as adding that line to the build.prop or more has to be done but I will be ever greatful if this gets figured out.

There is a bug report for this on the CyanogenMod tracker here:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2666
There really isn't much other information about it. For similar modifications you just need to add the line to your build.prop and reboot. These are the commands that I used:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell "echo ro.ril.enable.cnap=1 >> /system/build.prop"
I haven't tested this to see if it works but I thought I should share what I have found.

[SHV-E160][Root][Stock]How to Root Korean Note via Flashing with Rooted Stock FW

Admins- apologize for posting it here. Please feel free to move to appropriate location. I just want to help fellow Galaxy Note (korean version) owners. With the help of Google translate, and straining to interpret various chinese and korean websites, I was able to deduce a way to root the Korean note via updating it with rooted stock firmware (Samsung Original Firmware, only it's already Rooted).
How to Root Korean Note via Flashing with Rooted Stock Firmware
Flashing:
general instructions taken from mycatisether post
Put the Korean Note into download mode by holding down the volume down button + home button + power button
The Note will then display a tonne of Korean text on-screen, press the volume up button to actually enter the download mode
Run Odin in administrator mode (not really sure if it makes a difference but might as well), make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only checked items, click the PDA button and select the appropriate firmware file from the list below. Each ROM ~1GB+. Note that the latest firmware is at the bottom of the list for each model.

Note: Flashing this firmware will not erase your data. It will preserve everything (apps, accounts, SMS, etc), including keeping disabled all the bloat apps I've disabled in the system. Rooting will allow you to permanently remove all these and other protected bloat apps.

Thank you OP...good work ....g

Sounds like your phone is carrier locked. I think you need to have to unlock your phone first. Rooting will not unlock carrier.

In case you're wondering, I've observed noticeable performance improvements with UH24. Also, the video pop-up play also works flawlessly here.

Great work man!! I was also looking for this since long... thanks a lot.. pressed it too
Problem being now, I am seeing 2 superusers, one earlier superuser since I was rooted previously and now the new SuperSU from the new ROM. Any suggestions on how to remove. Tried though root explorer but can't see any superuser.apk there

Well, I think you can just simply decide which one of them you want to use, and uninstall the other. If it's a user app, it should be pretty easy to uninstall it. If it's a system app, you may need to use titanium backup to do it.

Yes it is a system app. Can't see it in system\app folder. Tried titanium backup and root explorer too. But can't see the app there.But the super user and SuperSU both apps are there.

This is perfect. The 4th ICS Rom that I found after searching for so long!

Wunderbar!

This is awesome indeed, thank you so much jairrab!
I just got the SHV-E160S from a Korean friend and updated it to the latest firmware via KIES (IMM76D.UH24).
As I suspect many others have experienced, I noted to my dismay that I cannot send text messages longer than 80 characters, and that I only have G-service with my 4G plan on T-Mobile in the US.
I read through as much I could find about the Korean Notes on the web, including here on XDA, but a few question marks remain and I was hoping some of you kind gentlemen could help me figure those out.
Four quick questions (althouh detailed answers are definitely welcome
Will flashing the ROM give me ability to text normally?
Will flashing the ROM allow me at least 2G or 3G speeds on T-Mobile or AT&T in the US?
Can I revert to the original Korean rom from SK Telecom/Samsung, and if so where can I find it? (I am going back and forth to Korea so having the native rom is immensly helpful)
Are there any drawbacks to flashing this phone apart from losing Korean services?
Thank you so much. I am so glad I found at least a tiny teeny Korean Note owning community here on XDA. Hopefully it'll have time to grow and develop. :fingers-crossed:

Hi there,
I will tell you what I knows about the Korean Note till date;
1. You can't just flash any ROM and it will work with the Korean Note, especially the I717 ROM's they will not work. Even I thought it should but apparently there are subtle differences between these phones and Samsung Korea made it different than the I717.
2. There is a hidden menu for every Korean Note, I own the SHV-E160L and it is 319712358 then for the password it is 0821. You can manually select your data connection there. I guess E160L is locked with U+ on LTE and it is CDMA, so it will not work with 4G/LTE. But, you can switch to WCDMA, this gives you 3G speeds, and GSM only will give you GPRS. I am using 3G speeds currently in India.
3. These are the orignal ROM's. For my E160L Kies detects it as orignal and indicates that I am up to date with the firmware.
4. As I said earlier, flashing any ROM will not work, it will need specific ROM's for your particular SHV only. We all are wishing for a good custom ROM, but no success till date. There are some ROM's available for SHV's on KOXDA, but again the language is a big problem, along with the site securities.
I hope this will help you in some regards. Have fun..

Thanks

Hey woopsgoops, thanks a lot for that information! You might just have saved me a headache or two.
I was seriously going to flash with the T-Mobile Rom+modem, but now I am glad I didn't. I might flash with the ROM supplied in this thread to at least get root and sort out some of the *cough* bloatware *cough* issues.
Firstly I am going to explore this hidden menu if I can set up network etc. for T-Mobile here in the US, so I can get at least 3g. I'll report back on that! It kind of sucks when you go from 4G (eg. having the fastest data in town) to 2g, even though TMO is extremely cheap.
Just to let you know, for the SVH-E160S the dial number 319-712-358 is correct, but the password turned out to be 996412, courtesy of another XDA member: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29451233&postcount=3
As for the Chinese websites I am trying to steer clear of those. There's always a nagging feeling of being observed by something whenever I surf China, and then there's the viruses. It might just all be paranoia though.
By the way, what a great phone the Note is. It looks, feels, and works absolutely phenomenal. Good job Samsung, I am sure other manufacturers will start making similar devices. Seems even Apple is heading that direction, abandonig their holy grail "optimal" 3.5 inch screen.
Plus, I am stoked that I could encrypt the entire phone. I was always worried sick with all my passwords etc. lying around my older androids, if they'd ever get stolen or lost.
I'll report back on the US carrier compatibility!
Thanks again!

You are welcome mate. I am glad that it helped you.
Yes, in my opinion you should flash the ROM in this thread, which will give you root access then using titanium backup/ root explorer you can get rid of all the bloatware in the Korean ROM.
For the SMS, make sure that you have your number shown in Settings>About Phone>Status>My Phone Number with country code. If it is not there then you need to borrow an i-phone or Cynogen Mod Android phone (CM7 in my case) and put your number manually via its settings. Since there is no way you can do it on the original ROM running on Android.
Then you can install Handcent SMS and turn it as your default messaging app. This should give you SMS lengths more than 80 characters, but less than 150 characters. Anything beyond or around 150 characters and the SMS will hang up and will show sending forever. I have tried to search for solutions for it like changing the 6 files in system>app folder with N7000's MMS.apk but it didn't worked. So living with it for the time being. At least it is more than 80 characters.
Let us help each other, and hope that someday a kind developer see our pain and give us a custom ROM!!

Hey, thanks for this additonal information!
Exploring this phone I go from clarity to clarity. I stumbled upon something while I was texting today. When I used the Google Voice app (I use it for its excellent voicemail service and the extra phone nr it provides) I realized that I can text to my hearts content. No beeps, no conversion to mms, no failed send, no nothing, just pure sending goodness 160+ characters per text. I instantly switched to get all my text to the Google Voice app and replaced the default messaging app on my TouchWiz quickbar. Felt like to easy to be true, but there you go! Sometimes you get good surprises as well.
As you may recall, I was a bit upset about the Korean bloatware that sucked my RAM away, but realized this awesome device actually allows for disabling of apps. I don't actually care if they're on my phone memory as long as they're not running in the background. Good stuff!
I honestly don't even feel compelled to get root anymore, because the only reason of having it - for me personally - would be to get true backup from my TitanitumBackup license, and stuff like that. Now, unless root and/or ROM flash would give me some major improvement such as increased data speeds I don't think it's really worth it for me.
For all the fun of exploring Samsung's maintenance GUI, the hidden menu unfortunately didn't give me much joy. I figured out there are no compatible T-mobile or AT&T 3G frequencies anyway, and all the other carriers such as StraightTalk, SimpleMobile, MetroPCS, etc. just use the antennas of those two anyway. American companies are world class when it comes to crippling the competition. Not a chance for consumers to jump ship without losing an arm or a leg. Creates a sense of belonging I guess
I am currently trying to straighten out an issue I have when I plug in the phone to my Windows PC USB and it says "Hardware ID missing." It worked well before, before I upgraded to ICS unless I'm mistaken. In any case, I think I can use KIES Air and transfer stuff OTA for now, or put stuff on the SD card I suppose. I even tried the USB drivers from the Korean Samsung website, and downloaded Kies from the same place. Will see how that turns out when I have some time.
Thanks, and have a good weekend now! :good:

Wait very long at start up
How long you have to wait after flashing and see the phone go into Android?
I have 160L. After I flash it, I wait at Pink "U+ LTE" loading like forever. (I wait 30mn and still there).

[Q] Please don't shout i am already fragile ;)

First off, Hi, yes i am a N00B... i hear your groans already :good:
So i finally took the plunge to move to android after many years on Blackberry and have to say for the most part i am glad i did. I am currently running a Samsung Galaxy SIII;
Model GT-I9300
Android 4.1.2
Baseband Version I9300DXELK1
Kernel 3.0.31-836582
[email protected] #1
Build Number
Android revolution HD21.1 by mike1986
I am on the Isle of Man Network (Cable & Wireless Guernsey / Sure Mobile (Jersey) (according to Play))
Whilst i am a techie and have worked in IT for over 10 years i am still finding my way with Android so please bare with me! (I wouldn't for a second fathom that i know enough about development so thought i'd come talk to you guys.. as. well. you develop the stuff i'm having issues with!)
My mate rooted and uploaded a customer ROM for me when i got it and pretty much left me to my own devices, whilst i have only had a play round for a few weeks and downloaded some apps there is a few things that are annoying me (and yes i have searched around these forums, googled the hell outta it and unfortunately the things i have tried hasn't worked for me. So...
the crux of the matter is, there are 2 apps i am trying to get working on my phone but unfortunately there are a number of issues.
Sky Go: initially not showing up in the play store (rectified by the use of PhoneControl and Market Enabler)
When attempting to download i get "This item is not available in your country"
Whilst googling i noticed i was not the only one experiencing this issue and with some help from other frustrated users attempted to spoof the phone into thinking its on a different network codes via MarketEnabler. No dice. (although i can now at least see the 2 apps im trying to d/l. I know it works locally as i use it on my ipad (sorry to swear!)
HSBC Fast Balance: Same issues as above, research unfruitful. I had this app previously on my blackberry (shocker i know) so i know it is available in my region.
I have tried multiple things to try and fool the device into thinking it is somewhere else, i have tried changing my default country in multiple areas thinking this is the problem. No dice
So my guess is that the ROM my mate downloaded was developed in a different country and as such hard coded somewhere into the version, but im just guessing.
Any help/advice you may be able to offer would be most appreciated

Same with Sky Go

There's nothing wrong with the custom ROM your friend installed, but you might be better off going back to the latest stock ROM (XXEMB) for the UK - if you want the phone to work exactly as Samsung intended it to. Android is a wonderfully open ended OS but can be a bit too open ended sometimes.
You can download stock ROMS from links in the general forum and follow (closely) the instructions to flash it via Odin on your PC - or get your friend to put back how he found it.

Success! 5G Working on DEMO LG Wing.

So I was able to successfully get the DEMO LG Wing I bought off of ebay. (Model LMF101V) Flashed. And despite being told these didn't even have a modem in them, I am able to get 5G with a Tmobile SIM now. *I believe these were originally Verizon demo's, but I am not sure. I am missing storage, which I have seen was a problem with other LG demo models. However it appears the SD card is working, so this is not a huge deal to me. (It registers 8GB instead of 256GB) I know the storage is actually there, because prior to flashing, I was able to access and use it in the demo mode.
I was wondering if anyone could help me get the biometrics working? The hardware is present and the phone does detect a fingerprint reader, but when trying to use it, it never registers any finger prints. *It does not accept or reject, the screen changes to indicate my finger is touching the glass, but nothing happens as far as registering my fingerprint goes, it just does nothing. I do not yet know if the 50% charging limitiation is still in place or not, I will update when I find out. I am assuming this is no longer an issue.
Not bad for $180 now that it has service. I accomplished this by making my own modifications to LGUP, I will be honest, I am a newbie when it comes to this stuff. So I was poking around and changed a few things here, a few things there, and I could not tell you specifically what I did that made this work. The phone still does not show me an IMEI number. (Just a 0 in place of it.) I dont want to break the rules regarding changing IMEI's, but since this would be more like restoring the IMEI, maybe the mods will allow us to discuss potential fixes to that issue.

Interesting this demo unit. What is the firmware showing in the system menu? Could you update to any newer firmware? Or could you unlock the bootloader / flash another official fimware?

Modified LGUP - Chip Erase was the only option that would do anything at all. So I first flashed a Verizon ROM and then a Tmobile ROM. Both lifted all all the limitations placed on the device. The only thing that did not work was the fingerprint sensor, but its there... so there has got to be a way. That and it wont show an IMEI number at all after that. Yet at least with Tmobile, that doesnt appear to matter.

Please direct me to the steps or page that will explain how to do what you did to remove this demo crap. Thanks in advance.

There isn't one. I figured this out on my own.

Have you played with a Velvet 5g? I just got a retail mode one.

I got ahold of 2 V60 demo units. I believe they are the Verizon ones? Anyhow i removed demo limitations to allow use of the device again, battery is at 50% llke most, and its supposedly missing the modem as i cannot get any information in Phone Information for the cellular bands etc.. It would be nice however to get them working IF they are present.
I don't see how your velvet has the modems unless perhaps it was specific verizon ones which these devices were rumored to have the ability of a full device (modem and everything else) once flashed to different firmware.
If you could walk back through what you do (i know im guilty myself of forgetting to write things down) and try to remember exactly what all you did this would help a lot on these demo units. I see a people wanting to convert them more these days since the phones are getting more hi tech. 5-7 years ago and so you could covert these,, Before that demo phones.. well they were all real. Was never an issue getting them cheap and no need for converting.. Wish it was like that today!

Any updates on this? Local used phone stores want $450 starting, I see a handful on eBay for anywhere from $120+, non-demo ones average around $350+. I'd like to get one that's unlocked (currently on Sprint/TMobile) but likely gonna be switching to AT&T. I see a lot of phones that say unlocked but I don't know if they're truly unlocked and/or how to do it myself if they're in fact not unlocked. 10+yrs ago I used to bake my own ROM's and whatnot but nowadays it feels like Spanish to me so I don't wanna buy the wrong phone and have it not work (demo issues) or not be able to easily switch providers.

The lg velvet retail modes do take the korean firmware. Everything works even 5g. Battery works 100%.

Yup i was able to flash the lg velvet retail modes with korean firmware. 5g even works with att. Hotspot isnt even locked like it would be on stock att firmware. Im really loving these lg velvet retail mode phones. If you can find them cheap get one.

Is there any chance you could share what you did to get this working? I've been trying to flash stock firmware to my Wing but haven't had any success. All of my attempts have either caused LGUP to crash, fail, or "successfully" flash but never actually do anything to the phone.

Dont use the gui tool. Learn to flash from terminal and you will be set.

Alright, I'll give that a shot. Any specific firmware I should go for? I have the Korean and Verizon, not sure which is better. This is a Verizon demo unit, btw.
Edit: If you could link me to the terminal version, that would be appreciated.

I personally cant wait until firehose comes out for the lg velvet. I have a few of those. They work great on att 5g. Almost feels exactly like my s20 ultra in my hand. Too bad lg stopped making phones.

Terminal version worked perfectly! The korean firmware works and seems to be fully functional, although I will have to do more testing. I may try flashing US carrier firmware at some point if it's compatible (probably T-Mobile as I use that), but for now this is fine.

Been using the phone for a few days now. It's largely been fine, however the fingerprint sensor doesn't seem to work as the OP mentioned. Still, if anyone has a demo device, it's much better then using the gimped firmware it comes with.

Tried without downgrading the firmware (if that's even possible- I don't think the Wing came with Android 9). ( #*462633*#100# ) got me into the service menu, did the fingerprint test and now it recognizes me putting my finger against the sensor, but tells me "Cover the entire sensor with your finger" every time.
Edit: To be clear, I'm using the latest Korean firmware. I'm not sure if downgrading it would work, since as far as I know it's all Android 10.

Question US update status for the A52 5G - where's everybody at?

I'm currently holding the A526U1 bought unlocked and on Metro as a carrier - my CSC appears to be TMK. (Unrooted, though I probably don't need to specify that with that U1) As of right now I still haven't gotten the Android 12 update, though a friend with the A52 5G on T-Mobile has, and that was about a week ago. I sort of expected to get mine pretty soon afterwards, with Metro being owned by T-Mobile and all, but nope, not the case. Was wondering where everyone else in the US is on the update, both on the large carriers and the smaller ones. I'm curious as to whether we're "mostly there" or still just getting started on the rollout.

Actually, it says on the T-Mobile website that their latest update is 12. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/de...a52-5g/software-updates-samsung-galaxy-a52-5g - I haven't asked him what model number he has, but he otherwise has the A52 5G and lives in the northeastern US just like I do. So it's definitely here, but not on my model/CSC.

Ah, yeah! I provided the info about my particular model but really was curious about the full, wider net in the US; my bad not clarifying further on that part!

I'm non T-Mobile and have had mine for the last week... I live here in Texas

Ooh haha gotcha, okay that lines up with the other T-Mobile release - I guess they probably put that out nationwide. The U1 still doesn't have the update as of today, which I find curious. I wonder if the other US models not attached to T-Mobile have theirs yet or if it's just the U on T-Mobile. Anyway thanks!

I also got the latest security patch just a few days ago.. I will say, there seems to be some glitches in this latest Android. For instance when typing sometimes the keyboard just disappears.. Plus the soft keys disappear and I can not exit back to the home screen.. This is mostly after watching videos online.. And a few times when I had the phone app open, I could not view recent calls or access my contacts, except opening up the contact app.

My friend on T-Mobile says he's gotten at least two follow-up patches after the main patch and was actually complaining about having to update so often, to which I said "dude you WANT those patches after a big OS update, they're cleaning up stuff that you're otherwise going to run into" - and I'd guess this is a good example of some of that stuff they haven't gotten to yet. I still have not received the new update, interestingly - I'm not sure whether Metro is being careful not to release a update that isn't quite finished baking or if my exact model isn't prioritized, but it would be nice to think that the version I end up with is a little more polished than the one you're having to deal with (boy figuring out quotes took me a hot second)

This is what I was talking about. The missing soft keys. They came back after swiping to take a screen shot

That's very weird. Okay Metro if you want to take your time making sure I don't gotta deal with that I'm cool honestly. Tho tbh this patch from Android 11 I'm on I have weird activity happen with Gboard - Gboard will try to activate but end up flashing open and then shut again, sometimes with what may be a real flash of noise on the screen that is hard for my eyes to actually detect. It's hard to predict when it will happen but it happens often enough! On the videos, not even scrolling back upwards makes the soft keys come back? (I ask because scrolling down in the gallery makes them disappear for me until I go up again)

Nope not even scrolling. I have let the screen time out then open again. Then the keys reappear.

That's bananas. Hope that gets fixed soon for you, that sounds like a hassle and a half. Have you looked to see if the gesture navigation bar does the same thing? Probably not that easy, but whack either way

I have the same exact model as you: A526U1, but I'm unlocked on AT&T. I too still do not have the Android 12/One UI 4 update. So it's definitely not a Metro thing that's holding up your update. I think they haven't updated it because not every carrier has finished testing it? Really not sure, but I'm super frustrated that other A52 5Gs got it here in the US but not the U1.
I do (and I assume you also do) have the January security patch.

I recently found that information that said that unlocked phones need to be tested on every carrier before being updated, and truthfully at this point seeing the bugs that they're still working through, I feel like that might come out as an advantage for us unlocked users? I'm not sure if it works the way I think it works but it's almost like everybody who isn't unlocked ends up beta testing for the unlocked users?
I do have the January security patch like you, but yeah, no big update yet. But I've contented myself with that on the logic above.

For anyone curious, I received the update last night for my unlocked A52 5G on Metro - so far I haven't noticed any bugs - in fact I think some minor issues I had seen with my display are gone? But there's still time lol. Hex theming is running successfully on it, as a sidenote

I actually got my update for Android 12 and One UI 4.0 a couple weeks ago and another security patch about a week later. From what I have read it has only been released for the A52 5G phones that are not carrier locked. Mine is the SM-A526U and I use with MetroPCS. So far I haven't had any issues with my updates and everything is working good. I did flash a custom GCAM 8.3 port from the new Google Pixel before the 12 update but both camera apps work pretty well with GCAM only having slightly better features. It does take some tinkering with as the ported app at first would take between 1-2 seconds to actually take the picture

My A526U (MetroPCS, unlocked) is now on Android 12.

Lineage 18.1 - will that let me run Lastpass?

Hi,
I lost my Samsung S9, so my parents gave me a new LG G5 phone as a replacement. Still in box with all the screen protector, wrappers, etc. because they already had a phone at the time and never ended up using it. So it's basically a brand new phone, with an ancient Oreo Android 8.0 OS. It's a zippy phone, and it's lovely to have a battery sit at 100% for hours on standby (whereas my daily-use Samsung S9 would drop to 99% after a 15 minutes of standby)
All would be fine, except there's two apps I use that need Android 10 - DUO authenticator (which I need for work) and Lastpass.
So I started looking into upgrading the OS, and found these forums. I'd be fine with switching to a custom ROM, but have a few questions:
What custom mod would you recommend for someone merely looking for Android 10 compatibility? I've read that one can lose hardware functionality with custom roms...what are the "known issues"?
Does anyone know whether Lastpass or DUO install on these custom roms?
I'm also happy for someone to just send me a link somewhere that can answer these questions!
Thanks!

Which G5 are you talking about?
If it's a new H850 the bootloader is not any longer unlockable as LG ceased that service.
My unlocked H850 did loose only FM (didn't find any app working with it) and is working fine with lineage-18.1-20220320-nightly-h850-signed.
Don't know about DUO but Lastpass shouldn't care about a non-stock ROM.
Btw did you hear/read about the Lastpass security breach? Wouldn't trust them any longer.

Agree with that last statement. They have been caught lying and half-truths since the hack/breach so I would ditch them to another service and now change your passwords.

Hi, thanks for the replies. But I've solved the problem by getting a used Samsung S20.
But I'm still curious about updating my LG-G5 phone (H831) to make it somewhat software-compatible. I guess my question was more about what Android version is equivalent to Lineage-18.1 . DUO and Lastpass needed Android 10, and I don't know what version of Android Lineage-18.1 (or any of the other custom roms) are branched from.
As for choice of password manager, what are y'all using? I need an Android, iPhone, and web client.

Looks like I can't even consider a modded rom .
I found a post that says:
H831 = Canadian market. Bootlocked. Can't be rooted.

I'm using Keepass and used to have the database on my AVM attached NAS (accessible from via mobile as well).
Now I've switched to store that on an online-storage of my mail provider where I have read/write access as well.
Using either Keepass2android on my android devices and Keepass2 on my Linux Mint 21 system.
Quite easy to configure and always working.
There should be an app for Iphone available which can work with kdbx files.
