CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4 (KK), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
------------THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL UNSUPPORTED BUILD-----------
This is my attempt at porting CyanogenMod 11 to the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1. I use a SM-T530NU, so that is the only device I have tested.
Any other device variations have not been tested and are at your own risk. I will not be able to support other variations as I don't own them for testing.
Special thanks to MetaIIica - I have been using his Alpha build of PAC-ROM KitKat since December. I studied the code for that, along with stock and some other ROMs before starting this port. This is my first time doing any work with Android, so I'm not sure if I'm technically doing things correctly or not.
I know CyanogenMod 12 is under development already, but I have decided to do a CM11 based build in hopes of a making a stable daily driver offering. I have fixed many of the issues present that were present in the PAC-ROM build. They can probably be backported to PAC-ROM easily if its built with my tree, but I prefer the plain CM-based offering myself.
You may get the source of my changes for this ROM on my github. If you'd like to help and submit a patch, feel free to open a pull request. You will of course be credited accordingly.
See below for instructions, what's working, and issues I fixed over the PAC-ROM Alpha.
For any bug reports or feature requests, please use the appropriate tabs at the top of the thread. Please include as much information as possible and if possible a logcat or other debug information in the case of bugs. Requests for supporting other device variations will not be honored - sorry,
Feedback and constructive criticism is always appreciated. I hope you enjoy using the ROM; if you use the ROM, please consider leaving a thanks, rating, and/or review

INSTRUCTIONS
- Install PhilZ Touch Recovery (recommended)
- Copy CM11 & GAPPS (Optional) ZIPs to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Do "Clean to Install a New ROM" (FULL WIPE REQUIRED INCLUDING SYSTEM, NOT JUST DATA/CACHE - even if coming from another CM-based ROM, as my device tree is different)
- Flash CM11 ZIP
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- Reboot
UPGRADING
-In general, you should be able to just flash over the previous build, but if you encounter any weird issues please clean using the steps above
Working that I've tested:
Audio: Speakers, Headphones, Bluetooth
Bluetooth
CIFS/NFS (Network File Systems - see notes below)
Front Camera
GPS
IR Blaster [SM-T530NU Only]
Magnetic Cover Sleep/Wake
MTP
Rear Camera
USB OTG
Video (w/ Hardware Decoding)
WiFi (2.4ghz & 5ghz)
NOTE ON BUTTONS: This ROM is configured to use the hardware buttons-- so you won't see the software buttons taking up space at the bottom of the screen, as they are disabled. This is not a bug. Use the hardware buttons, as they are the same. If you really want the software buttons for some reason, edit /system/build.prop, change qemu.hw.mainkeys to 0, save, and reboot. If you map the menu button to a long press of another button, some apps such as TitaniumBackup will count this as a hardware key and hide their soft menu button - but only after a reboot.
NOTE ON CIFS/NFS: Many of the mounting utilities on the play store are outdated and broken due to changes in the linux kernel. For best luck, mount using the command line. For CIFS, you can tweak CIFSManager into working - see this thread

Congratulations ! :good:
Nice ROM, it installed fine on my T530 will test some more, thanks for the hard work
I got this installed but the back button and recents button didn't work at all. Its a fast rom though but it would be nice if it was a barebones CyanogenMod without the Pac Rom extras installed too.
Time for a new test, i'll test it in my t530 and report back the results.

It is a pure Cyanogenmod without the Pac extras. If you're seeing them, make sure you did a full wipe before flashing as noted in the original post - you may have remnants of PAC-ROM in /system. The best way is to use PhilZ option to "Clean to Install a new ROM" as that wipes everything correctly. That could also be causing your issues with the back button as well. I completely rebuilt the device tree for this rom over the pac build, as that was based on MSM8974 when this is an MSM8226 device. If a full wipe wasn't done, you have stuff for the other device tree in /system that will mess things up. If the issue persists after a full wipe, please let me know what varient of 530 you're using, and pastebin a logcat of what happens when you press the back or recent events buttons.

I always completely wipe everything before installing a new rom. Never wiping the tablet before installing a new rom might cause problems. I no longer have the rom installed. I will install it again and see if it was just a flike that it didnt work properly the last time. I also have Philz recovery installed because its the only one that has full brightness on the screen.
Simply great. Everything i need works great. Finally a kitkat aosp rom that given me everything i need. Flashed in TWRP on a t530 (wifi only) and running perfectly fine. Good job mate. If you want me to test anything on t530 just tell me.
Btw, otg works, so my usb keyboard is working.
Otg works, YouTube and twitch.tv works, BT works, rotation works, camera works, xposed works, everything i have tested works

Thanks! Glad to hear that it is working well for you. I believe the only difference between the SM-T530 and the SM-T530NU is the the NU has an IR blaster, which I haven't actually enabled yet. I need to figure out how to test that because I never use it. After i do that and post a build with IR, it will be useful if you check and make sure it doesn't break the regular 530. Those two from what I can tell are vary similar, its more of any celluar varients that I would be worried about, because this is build for wifi only..
Let me know if you find anything broken
I got this to work properly. I have one question though. Is there a way to get youtube working without having all the other GAPPS rubbish installed. I noticed that the tablet got slower as soon as I installed GAPPS. The tablet flies along without GAPPS installed and I only want youtube working without all that other rubbish bogging down the tablet.

Glad its working for you now
To be honest, I'm not sure - you could try copying the Youtube APK off of the device and then side-loading it on a fresh install without installing all of GAPPs, but I'm not sure if that will just prompt you to install all of them or not if you do that.
Are there particular use cases you are noticing are slower? I did not really notice any difference with or without GAPPs, other than the initial boot time as they were unpacked and installed. If there are particular situations that cause this, then we could dump some logs to see if there is something that could or needs to be optimized.

I have youtube backed up with all my other apps with Titanium Backup and when I try running youtube without GAPPS it fails and a popup states Youtube has failed to start (or something similar) and if I install the GAPPS I have which is older than the version that is needed it tells me that google needs to be updated. So then I update that and tried freezing the google apps I dont want or use but youtube fails.

The whole tablet is slightly slower with GAPPS installed. I've opened a gapps zip with WINRAR and removed some of what I dont want and only left whats needed for play store to run so it improved a bit.
Hi,
I didn't try it for now...
But thanks for the good work!!
For the Gapps, have you try PAGapps?
It has different package with a lot of options.
The smallest one should be around 136Mo. You can also remove some apk with a config file.
All other apps are available on Play Store...

I used an aroma based gapps. You can install only what you need. About using YouTube without gapps, i dont know if tubemate could do the trick. Use aptoide to install it if you dont like play store. Here is the link for the aroma gapps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547250

It has something to do with the lighting detection or some other initial initialization that I haven't figured out yet, but as a workaround if you toggle between camcorder mode and back it'll brighten up.

Tested and working fine. Is a nice workaround. I dont mind about this bug as I only use front camera for Skype and such things, but im glad this workaround is pretty easy and fast

Hi Everyone,
I updated the original post with a new build. This build should fix the lighting issues with the rear camera the first time it is used. After I debugged the mode switching with logcat I was able to find out what the issue was. I also am working on reducing dependencies on vendor libs where possible by getting more of the modules that can be built from source building from source.
I've started exploring IR blaster support for NU users and I am continuing to look for a solution for bluetooth audio, but I don't have either yet. Stay tuned for future updates
If you already installed the ROM most times you should be able to flash over it, but if you see anything weird after, try wiping to confirm if its a bug or weirdness after upgrading (you can always nandroid before wiping if you're unsure and roll back if its not related to upgrading).
Please let me know if you find any issues. Include model number and if possible a logcat as well.
Enjoy!
Congrats starlightknight!
Anyone tried this on the SM-T530?
Hello!
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it
could also be that you are on an old TWRP build.
--WiFi calling is fixed. (thanks @lordodin912 . Turned out to be the defconfig after all. Netfilter/netlink )
--Built with the latest -old v6 Uber Toolchain cross-compiler (ubertc 7 is bugged, and latest v6 doesn't boot after compile)
--Kernel optimization flags added in for Uber (thanks @lordodin912 for the info on this)
--Better 3g/4g connectivity. Which should hopefully lead to less polls to satellites, and hopefully reduce battery consumption (May need to upgrade to latest bootloader and radio).
--ConservativeX governor and a few others added in
--ConservativeX is default
--ROM tweaks to init.qcom.post_boot to do the following : ensure min CPU freq is at 307mhz for all cpus, 133mhz for GPU, modified cpu_boost and other tunables for bettery battery usage, other small tweaks.
--GPU gov set to simple_ondemand by default
--Many TCP congestion algorithms enabled, westwood+ is default, and recommended.
--Small tweak to ZEN_DECISION hotplug
More things fixed/tuned
*testing* AutoSMP hotplug added to kernel. (idk wtf it is though--likely not working)
--Force current charge. Ability to override charging rate. Might set to max rate (1500mAh) by default. This means your cable+charge combo will charge as fast as it can.
6.5 will not force wipe, but if you have bugs with wifi calling, texting, or rootswitch freezing, this is an indication you have to do a Factory Reset within recovery.
Wifi calling fixed, sms fixed. No bugs that I can find.
You can turn off WiFi while on a WiFi call also. It will stay connected and switch to 4g. First connection may take up to 10 seconds, but it's just the first time.
Your phone will be very slow for the initial setup. Once you finish setting up your email, and fingerprint and all that, reboot your device.
If you have factory reset, you will need to update Google Assistant, and Google Play Services. Both of those updates can be done from opening Google Assistant. She won't work until these are installed/updated. SafetyNet bypass also requires Google Play Services, so just be sure to have all updates installed from play store.
LG Music is back in. I added back in the LG update center and the weather lockscreen thing, but they doesn't show up. I'll make a separate zip that works later in the future. For now, you can download smartworld and other things from LGs website.
One more thing, once your battery goes down to 10%, your phone will slow down and be as conservative as possible. I don't believe at 10% anyone will be worried about a smooth experience, but rather that their phone can last them enough time (it will!!). The savings is even greater if you enable Battery Saver at 15%.
Here is v6.5--perfected
You don't have to wipe anything.
However, if you get one of the following bugs, you will have to factory reset in recovery:
**Rootswitch disable freezes phone
**SMS dont always send, or won't send with root disabled
**No call connection or sound when calling after disabling wifi
**Literally any other bug
Development for NSS H918 will come to a halt as of 6.5, as I need to make an update for the other carriers. Additionally, IRL will be taking over for a month or two.
========================================================
Sidebar:
Here is the 6.5 kernel. Note : this is not an update for v6.0, this is only a kernel to be used on other ROMs.
v6 info below
(old in from previous update)
v6 NSS ROM has been rebased on the latest build from LG (10j). The kernel for v6 has also been built from source from the 10j sources. If you want the stock source for 10j kernel download it frmo my thread in the dev section. The one release by LG does not work as-is. I had to go through it and fix multiple errors preventing compile.
v6 WILL wipe your phone. All your apps, settings, games, and save states will be erased! This will not wipe your SD card, nor internal storage.
v6 is heavily debloated. ROM size is a mere 1.06 GB.
There is no kernel-only zip for v6, nor will there be.
I am also not releasing a way to flash v6 without wiping. The wipe is intended to clear any corrupted caches and/or other issues.
In v6, everything you need to pass SafetyNet is already included. Just disable root with Rootswitch, and you can play Pokemon Go, use Android Pay, and any other app that uses Google SafetyNet.
This ROM and kernel have been heavily modified for speed, stability, and battery.
I have changed the default CPU governor to Bioshock.
Here are some changes for v6
v6 will wipe your data!
Based off LGs latest build (V10j). Comes with matching kernel from 10j as well.
Kernel optimizations to the cpu. CPU ramps down quicker, is more conservative (probably best if you leave CPU settings as they come).
Cancun and triton disabled. Triton removed entirely.
Core Control Helper disabled.
New governors have been added! The default governor is now Bioshock.
You have a choice from ElementalX, Despair, Darkness, Alucard, Wheatley, blu_active, uhh prob 1 or 2 others. Note that not all governors are optimized for this chipset and may cause high CPU usage. Bioshock and blu_active work great! Note that the Darkness driver is outdated. Alucard24 did update it a few days ago, but for now, I don't recommend the Darkness driver.
V6 WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE EVERY TIME YOU FLASH IT!
This new version is going to WIPE your PHONE! This means that your apps, save states for games, games, and custom settings will be deleted.
You can backup your call logs and text+mms messages. My favorite app is called SMS Backup and Restore (by Carbonite).
If you have games and/or apps that you have to backup, you can use Titanium Backup. DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEM APPS! Basically if the app is not white in the Titanium Backup list, do not back it up. If it is green, or red, do not back it up, and certainly don't restore it on the new ROM!!!
ROM is much smaller now. ZIP is only 1.06GB. Lots more stuff ripped out of it. Shouldn't download new stock updates either. Will post a full debloat list tomorrow. No features were harmed in the making of this ROM.
I personally prefer to just use Google Assistant for pretty much everything, including Weather and Weather notifications. So the LG Weather has been removed.
I have 2 rebloat zips.
The LG only zip restores LG Weather, LE QMemoPlus (quickcapture), LG Music, and LG Update center.
The full rebloat zip restores everything minus carrier spyware, and lookout. I do not recommend flashing the full rebloat zip, and if you must, be sure to open the ZIP and delete anything out of it you do not specifically want to re-add. Don't flash the whole 450MB zip just to get LG Backup or something like that.
Phone likes to sleep, sometimes it goes hours without dropping 1%... It's weird... Idk .
Remember, if you don't use NFC, turn it off and save a little extra battery.
Also, phone does not have OK Google....
It only has Google Assistant . She is really awesome! It does not identify as a Pixel either.
Here is the link to v6. It will wipe your phone any time that you flash it! Note that the .ZIP says (fixed). This is because it already includes the fix for WiFi calling, SMS, and hotspot. I used some of the active members as guinea pigs, sue me
So once you flash your phone, just wait... It will take a long time. Once it boots, it will ask for your SIM card. Just wait a minute, and it will come on.
Go through the initial setup, make sure to give Color Control and Rootswitch SU access when prompted (will be really early, if you miss it just open SuperSU app and force grant permission).
Once you finish initial setup with fingerprint and all that stuff let it download whatever Google Play apps it finds, then get to your home screen and reboot the phone to complete setup.
Note, you must manually install Google Play Services. If you hold your Home button, it will activate Google Assistant (same as before with OK Google), and it will get a Services download.
Also, be sure to open Maps, it too will ask you to do a Google Play Services download.
If SafetyNet fails, you do not have Google Play Services, or you forgot to disable root.
SafetyNet passes root check, and unlocked bootloader check.
Here is everything that was ripped out of the ROM
Here is a ZIP to restore some of the removed LG apps on v6 for the 10j build.
This only includes
LG Music app + widget
LG Weather + everything related to it
LG Qmemoplus
LG UpdateCenter

Below is just old info from previous ROMs.
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it could also be that you are on an old TWRP build.
Here we have the base NRD90M ROM from LG.
I have added a few mods to it.
FEATURES
**This ROM is deODEXd
**Has init.d support
**Modified build.prop for better performance and hardware utility
**Removed bloatware (including that HORRID Lookout)
**Force encrypt disabled
**New kernel built-in.

Kernel built on the Linaro 6.1.1 x86_x64 toolchain
Latest: v5.5
If you are already on v5.1,here is the 5.5 update. This is intended only for people already on v5.1. It will not wipe anything, and your phone will not need to do its initial setup.
Here are the changes for v5.5:
The main changes here are even more battery saving
**some voltage control preparations (still not active)
**added a DNS resolver module to maybe help some people with hotspot.
**Bluetooth and FM should work even better than before (hopefully not worse lol) **added assertive display which should help draw less power with screen on (not sure if it is actually working, but meh it's in there)
** C-states are made aware in the kernel, so sleeping should be more effective, while waking up should be more snappy.
More things. Do it!
Can confirm Pokemon GO and Android Pay work perfectly. Just need to hide root.
Use the app attached.
Checkmark where it says "Stop all su daemons"
Reboot
Open RootSwitch again, and the checkmark should still be there, click disable root, and test with an app called SafetyNet Helper Sample from Play Store. When root is disabled, SafetyNet test will pass with a full green screen.
When you are done playing, you can enable root again. The game checks every so often, so root needs to be disabled to play for X amount of time.
Here are the changes for v5.1:
The only change in v5.1 that it has my updated kernel. It had previously been giving bugs to random people in bluetooth. Also, FM radio was broken. I am happy to announce that as of 5.1, all functions are in full working order, and there should be nothing else wrong in the ROM.
Here are the changes for v5:
**ViPER4Android is preinstalled
**Kernel updates to latest sources (no changes other than updates)
**Rebased ROM to a full system dump. Major thanks to @NotATreoFan ! His intuition was quite helpful. This should fix issues with WiFi calling, and other odd bugs that have been creeping about.
**Included Titanium Backup pre-installed. I highly recommend getting the license, this program rocks, and never has ads. With a license you can do batch functions, and theres more features.
**Included Kernel Adiutor to prepare future kernel updates (CPU/GPU under+over clocking later on). You can also use this to tweak I/O settings, governor, screen color). Everything should run pretty good as it is, but what I do, is set read_head in I/O to 2048, and disable I/O Stats. I also set it on boot. I do not recommend modifying any CPU or GPU frequencies since there are no changes in the kernel to allow for that.
**Fully debloated. Thanks again to NATF for pointing out the files that were installing the last bit of carrier-based bloat (amazon, facebook stub installer, etc).
**Updated to latest Super SU
**Other things here and there to try and fix bugs.
**Oh, the FM module from the original ROM was also restored. This, in conjunction with the files retrieved from NATF's full dump, should fix FM!
**If you have issues on your phone, and are trying to fix them, I recommend you do a clean install.
**However, if your phone is fine and you have had no issues, you can go ahead and just dirty flash.
No need to wipe anything. The only people who had to or need to wipe, are those on my v2.0 ROM. If you are on any version below or higher (including 2.1) you do not need to wipe anything. If you are on stock ROM, ODEXd or deODEXd, or any other NRD90M ROM, you don't need to wipe, the ZIP will take care of everything for you. /data will not be wiped, so all your old apps and settings will be there. Internal storage is of course untouched.
For anyone interested in my color options, they are:
My new settings are:
All 3 colors at 256
Saturation 64
Value 127
Contrast 129
Know that I love deep, rich, vibrant colors. Also, changing colors will not change effects on pictures taken! This is post-processing. Your phone's screen is what changes, not the files that you create.
Note: Adding saturation (vibrance) will always give some sort of color banding -especially since KCAL is post-processing. You can minimize color banding by ever-so-slightly reducing gamma (read as "Value" in the Color Control app), and by ever-so-slightly fine-tuning Contrast. The value changes would be minimal, and the color banding will only be reduced ever-so-slightly, but this is just how it is. Nonetheless, the device looks friggin amazing with the color options set.
Thanks @zhuhang for V4A!
Major thanks to @Chainfire for creating SuperSU
Major thanks to @jcadduono for the root exploit, AND for the TWRP image(s), AND for inspiring me to learn to do it. Also, he supplied the stock System.img, boot.img, and sources for a custom kernel!/RealMVP
Viper4Android is included! To enable, run the app, and configure how you please!
More to come (as I learn to do it)
Please make any requests. If it is not too difficult, I will learn how to, and add it to the MODDED ROM!
REBLOAT
If you want to add in things I removed, flash this. It will include all apps that were removed. You can open the ZIP and simply delete anything inside the system folder that you don't want before you flash it.

Ok I'll try again later. Oh, I thought you were a different person lol.
I did try the steps in your OP. I also baked in all the files, and set all permissions accordingly with the updater script. No matter what, It always tells me that the Driver must be installed. Upon trying to install, it says IO Error. Even though root is on, and System is R/W. /shrug
I am assuming just bout to recovery and flash?
Is there any way to disable the sound mod if I wanted to?
Thank you Tilde88 for your hard work. Thats really awesome to have ROM like that.
Do you think you can also add:
1. boot animation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/stock-android-7-0-boot-shutdown-t3499524
2. 2nd screen flash on new text: http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/2nd-screen-flash-text-message-tasker-t3490220
3. Also change emoji to samsung ones. Those from LG are terrible. http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/aroma-1-click-emoji-changer-10-to-pick-t3499517
4. Ad blocker is the same as Ad away? I wish we could get rid of adds from apps.
Thank you again
What's the difference between this rom and the other one that you posted? This one just has mods baked in?
Can you dirty flash this over stock ROM

@Tilde88 ? There is also another rom with bravia built in, what are the differences?? Why not just update your other thread/rom?
Hello!
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently, RC8, 3.0.2-0, and 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it could also be that you are on an old TWRP build.
Here we have the base NRD90M ROM from LG.
I have added a few mods to it.
FEATURES
**Multi-user working!
**This ROM is deODEXd
**Has init.d support
**Modified build.prop for better performance and hardware utility
**Removed bloatware (including that HORRID Lookout)
**Force encrypt disabled
**New kernel built-in.
**Based off 3.18.31 from @jcadduono source (thanks so much)!
**Added in the blu_active governor and set as default (via post_boot)
**No-op scheduler is default, and recommended
**Updated build.prop for better Hotspot support.
**More build.prop tweaks
**init.d support baked into the kernel
**Battery life should be noticeably improved, with no loss of performance (maybe even a bit faster).
**No need to wipe anything. System and caches are automatically wiped.
**Updated to SuperSU 2.78 SR4
**Updated boot and shutdown animation to the Android 7 default (thanks @freeza )
**More bloat removed
** Now includes more performance tweaks.
**Full Busybox support included!
**Fixed updater-script and binary
**Removed Sony Bravia/Xperia Engine
**Zen_Decision HotPlug enabled by default. (This will improve battery life, especially when your screen is off)
**TCP Congestion controller set to Westwood+ (improved download speeds)
**KCAL Color Control! Plus the Color Control app! Thanks to @savoca for KCAL and the app! Thanks to @freeza for the updated KCAL.c source file
**IO Stats for scheduler turned off
**IO Read ahead set to 2048kb
**Added init.d scripts to optimize your phone, and keep it fast over time.
**VPN is fixed!
**Gallery locked files are fixed!
**Bluetooth and FM should be fixed!
**No hotspot or ADB debug issues!
**More things I can't remember.
Kernel built on the Linaro 6.1.1 x86_x64 toolchain
Latest: v5.1 combined with v5.5
v5.5 is intended only for people already on v5.1. It will not wipe anything, and your phone will not need to do its initial setup. 5.5 is an update only! You must first flash 5.1, then 5.5. You can tell TWRP to flash files in sequence, so it's no hassle. ZIP no longer checks your device, so be sure that you are flashing for the model the sticker on the phone says that it is.
Here are the changes for v5.5:
Removed boot state verification. This allows your device to pass CTS on SafetyNet. That means that you might be able to use a root hide program, or maybe full unroot within SuperSU, and perhaps apps like Android Pay and Pokemon GO will work. They will never work if root is detected, no matter what.
Used more independent defconfig lines, hopefully static will go away... I highly doubt it, might even cause a no-boot issue. If it does, just tell me and I'll fix it up.
The main changes here are even more battery saving
**some voltage control preparations (still not active)
**added a DNS resolver module to maybe help some people with hotspot.
**Bluetooth and FM should work even better than before (hopefully not worse lol)
** C-states are made aware in the kernel, so sleeping should be more effective, while waking up should be more snappy.
More things. Do it!
Here are the changes for v5:
**ViPER4Android is preinstalled
**Kernel updates to latest sources (no changes other than updates)
**Included Titanium Backup pre-installed. I highly recommend getting the license, this program rocks, and never has ads. With a license you can do batch functions, and theres more features.

I do not recommend modifying any CPU or GPU frequencies since there are no changes in the kernel to allow for that.
**Updated to latest Super SU
If the ROM won't flash because it says you have the wrong device
This is likely due to the conversion thing you guys had to do to root. I don't have the AT&T device and I don't know about that conversion thing. To bypass it, open the ZIP, go into META-INF/com/google/android and delete only the file called updater-script. Replaced it with this one
No need to wipe anything. If you are on stock ROM, ODEXd or deODEXd, or any other NRD90M ROM, you don't need to wipe, the ZIP will take care of everything for you. /data will not be wiped, so all your old apps and settings will be there. Internal storage is of course untouched.

The value changes would be minimal, and the color banding will only be reduced ever-so-slightly, but this is just how it is. Nonetheless, the device looks friggin amazing with the color options set.
Having issues? Read below.
I need you guys to hear me out on this...
I do not have this phone, I cannot do any sort of testing, nor do I keep up with your rooting method.
That said, I cannot fix things that were broken due to the bootloader (such as Static Boot), so if WiFi calling did not work for you after flashing the custom bootloader, please don't ask if it is fixed... I do not know how to fix it. When/if it is fixed, I will let you guys know that it is fixed and who to thank for said fix.
Additionally, I need you to tell me things that do not work. I might not be able to get to all messages, or questions, so if you see that I did not reply, ask again and again until I do... I will reply and answer (obviously don't spam). Be sure to quote me, mention me, or message me. I do not check-in with these threads, just the H918 thread. If you do not send me a notice, I will not know that my attention is needed.
What issues that are ROM-related, not user-related can you report? You will know it is user-related if you modified anything in the phone/ROM.
If you flashed a different kernel, I cannot help you; flash back to the NSS kernel, and re-test.
If you are unsure about an issue, do a clean flash (in TWRP: Wipe-->Advanced-->select Dalvik, System, Data, and Cache (DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL STORAGE OR SDCARD)-->Swipe to wipe-->Install ROM-->boot phone, do not change or install anything. Retry your issue, if it is fixed, great. If it persists, go into your SD Card, and Internal Storage, remove the folders called "Android" and ".android_secure", reboot and try again. Still doesn't work? Mention me and post it here.
Remember, you can backup your USER apps in Titanium Backup (do NOT backup system apps, or restore system apps/system data).
You can also backup your existing setup and apps in TWRP so you can flash back to your original setup. This is good if you did a clean flash, and your problem is still there, you can restore your backup and be like nothing was changed.
Thanks @zhuhang for V4A!

Glad to see this! Trying now..
UPDATE: Runs pretty smooth. Thanks again!
Yeah it worked perfectly now after replacing the updater-script (correctly). Thanks for doing this! My only request is just on adding the advanced power menu options such as reboot to recovery/bootloader Other than that - its perfect.

I second this! Advanced power menu with recovery/bootloader reboot would be great. I use ROM Toolbox Pro to boot into recovery as it is now.
Also, would like to put GApps Pico with the ability to add any extra Google features as necessary. I pretty much just use the play store and some services. I like minimal Google services and apps on my phone. For example, I use Waze instead of Google Maps, and I use Gmail, but not the app. I use a different email app but I cannot delete Maps or Gmail since they are system apps, just disable them and their services. I don't use OK Google, Google Now, Hangouts, etc... There are a lot more examples like this.

You can delete system apps by using a program such as Titanium Backup. You can also backup your apps, and restore them on other ROMs. Don't backup system apps, just user apps.
I recommend the Pro version of Titanium; I bought it years ago, and still use it today. One of, if not the actual best, backup/restore program.
With pro you can do batch files, instead of 1by1. Also good for games to save their current state.

Titanium Backup is great! I have the pro version as well and use it constantly. I guess I'm not really concerned with the apps taking up space, rather just starting with the bare minimum of necessary things and adding what is needed afterward. But I usually freeze the apps just to avoid any possible issues with deleting. Another app that is just as great is ROM Toolbox Pro. Their App Manager and Auto Start Manager have advanced freeze functions that show you every single activity, receiver, and service attached to each app and gives you full functionality over them.
@nikktrikk @twistedvip or anyone else that wants to test.
@me2151 has given me a new defconfig for the kernel which might fix the static boot thing. Can anyone try it out for me please? It can be found here. Let me know how it goes. Thanks.

Just flashed on my H910. Unfortunately, it still gave me the static screen upon reboot.
EDIT: It also seems to have made the phone very laggy compared to your original custom ROM.

Everything is still running great. Much better battery life than stock! Just wanted to let you know, the only thing I have found that is missing is the Screen Capture feature. On the stock AT&T ROM, it is included in the pull down menu from the top, but it is not here at all in the custom ROM. If you navigate to Settings>Display>Home touch buttons>Button combinations, you can actually see the capture icon used as an example in the help section in the bottom half of the screen showing how to rearrange the buttons. The center button shows the capture button icon, but that button is not an available button to choose from when actually rearranging the Home touch buttons.

I have no problem doing a screen capture, I just wanted to let you know for the sake of knowing that the capture button icon is not included. Just so you have a comprehensive list of features no matter how minor they might be

Its also on the second screen and is very handy and much faster. I know for me my case is of some crap rubber amd hard to hit both at the same time
Got the error that I'm not a 910. Tried swapping the update script to bypass the check, but now get an error that the update binary is missing while trying to flash it. Went to check and it is still the in the zip however. Did I miss something obvious?

Sounds like you broke the ZIP. Don't modify it on your phone. copy the ZIP to your PC (don't open it from internal storage). Well, since it's broken now, download it again. When it's done downloading, open the ZIP on your PC, remove only the updater-script file, and once you have only the update-binary, re-add the updater-script.
I made a copy before I modded it. I'll try your approach and give it another go. Thanks!

Still getting bluetooth shutting off randomly.
I flashed this using no wipe, as in instructions...on Dirty Santa AT&T rooted phone. Bluetooth STILL is completely annoying and disconnects whenever it feels like it. Even Bluetooth Auto Connect and Bluetooth Keep Alive are of no use as fixes. Any ideas??? Should I wipe and just flash your rom to clear up any bugs??
[EDIT] I JUST WIPED AND FLASHED...WILL POST RESULTS!!!!!
Thanks for your awesome work and thank you for your time!!!!
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery - use my twrp
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Magisk (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and Magisk
Information
This is native tablet port with normal keyboard, animations and other stuff.
My port based on:
framework and apps: T510XXU1ASCE and T515XXU1ASCK (new Tab A 10.1 SM-T510\515) Android 9.0 with 2019-03-01 security patch
libs and etc: A600NKSU1ZSB6 (SM-M105F) Android 9.0 with 2019-02-01 security patch
kernel: based on M105FDDU1ASB2 (SM-M105F) Android 9.0 3.18.91
Additional
1. Added OC for CPU (1690MHz - Kernel Adiutor, EX Kernel Manager) and GPU (default 1001, in OC 1146MHz - EX Kernel Manager)
2. Added themes from A600N
3. new wlan driver driver 4.0.10.206A_20181017 (from A600FNXXU3BSC5)

Magisk
Before run Magisk installer in TWRP - you need run small script - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZnnKHtDAl0ioHjQXiNO6wErZN8odsO0P/view?usp=sharing
It's simply unmount /cache partition and then mount it as /vendor. After run the script, you can install Magisk. If Magisk Manager does not appear in the list of apps - extract magisk.apk from Magisk installer and manually install it.

Thanks
Thanks to Samsung
good morning Valera! I've been waiting for this a lot, since Samsung Pie is very good rom, I've already downloaded and flashed it. I just had time to try the basics and everything seems to work and the Ui is nice. Then I will make a good revision. Thank you very much for your great works!
@Valera1978 First of all, thanks for the great Pie port. Tab feels brand new, smooth. One thing I have found is the Themes/Wallpapers don't work. It will download wallpapers but when you go to apply, all you see is a black square, and nothing is applied. If it is an animated one for lock screen, it fc's the systemui when you try. Not a big deal as I can always apply wallpapers from my own collection. This is only issue so far and I have a feeling there won't be many more if any. Thanks for your works!!!
great job from shortcomings is at present a problem with the keyboard
I like this rom, it seems clean and pretty and I would like to be able to install magisk but I do not understand how to do it, could you explain it ?. Thank you
Bootloop
I tried this on my T580 coming from RR latest Pie ROM. Backed up ROM, factory reset wipe and installed just the wifi port. Wiped dalvic and rebooted. Bootloops at first Samsung screen. What did I do wrong?
edit: Never mind. Used Advanced Wipe for everything but Internal and SD. Booting now.
Great rom. Thanks for your effort.
Looks good thank you.
Are there other people who get a failed when they try to sign in the Samsung account?
In the pie_t510_t580_port there are the follwing settings that don't work or crashes, or don't belong in the wifi version and if it's possible should be removed.
T-roaming
Service provider
Mobile networks
Also in the About tablet there is some LTE version information
There is also the mobile hotspot settign in the connections
Cellphone signal icon in the at the top next to the wifi signal
These are for when you have the LTE version
Great work man!!! Thanks for your work!!

When I try to download other languages I get the message download failed. Probably a bug.
I hope you can port this rom for P585Y. Thank you

I imagine that if you were to give the dev a P585, he might have a reason to port and a device to test it on. Otherwise, he has neither. I've seen this request many times, where someone with a different device, asks a dev to support theirs, and it never succeeds.
My personal hotspot isn't working after my first reboot... though I've uninstalled every 3rd party app.
Edit: It comes after installing Magisk.
EDIT 2: I've tried to reboot without installing any apps twice, and the problem appears, I only need hotspot for hosting an offline game with friends, like Bombsquad.
Is it debloated?

Sort of...
This ROM needs more focus though, it's faster than the stock Oreo, but has weird bugs...
To solve that keyboard bug switch to the phone interface through build.prop editor,
Edit the line: ro.build.characteristics=tablet to phone instead of tablet.
Then add the languages you want then revert back the changes after finishing.
About that hotspot bug, I don't know, but can't we just use the stock kernel and wifi instead? What's the use of the new one?
About the Secure Folder, there's a way to set it up by modifying the kernel, and we never had it on our own device, we only got it on S7.
But there's a small question... do we have a chance to get a Samsung 64-bit ROM on our device? Because the Play Store will shut down on 32-bit devices in August 2021, though this device is 64-bit.
Is it really much faster than stock 8.1? None of the roms I've tried so far have been, the ui lags and battery takes a hit I assume as it's running harder to keep up

That's because it's overclocked, and it generally feels way smoother like the stock Nougat ROM, there are some annoying bugs though, some camera apps can't access the camera, and the Hotspot doesn't work after installing some apps and rebooting, looks like it's not Magisk to blame, that doesn't happen in the stock though.
So I'm waiting until the OP replies or gives us an update hopefully.
I've tried the hotspot in the A600N port and it works properly! Why not here in this port? I think due to the presence of numerous Korean carrier options and maybe the Wi-Fi Sharing, when it's enabled, the hotspot doesn't work, even if disabled and rebooted. So you should remove these options, I guess?
I use SwiftKey beta as a side keyboard, testing the puppets, they are working in the stock ROM, but in both Pie ports, though I've allowed camera permission, the app can't load puppets, and that is not just present in SwiftKey, it is present also in some apps, it may be a missing Pie support, hopefully.
And thankfully, there are no camera modes, just front and back camera,
When I switch modes in this port, it force closes immediately,
and the Photo editor works properly in the A600N port, but not in this port, when I switch the filter it gives me a black screen instead
The only thing that annoys me is that the tablet interface of the A600N is not as great as this port, landscape mode is better here, because this port has tablet framework.
So, I wish this port gets more attention than it deserves, thank you Valera1978 for your great contributions! Hope you focus on this port, well more than you do with LineageOS!
Work on P580 ??

Welcome to the Lemon Drop Rom, for the Lgv20...
Auto_Debloat is a twrp flashable file I created, it's very unique in that you flash in twrp after you have already flashed Stock Oreo v8.0, kernel, magisk ect. This will transform Stock Oreo 8.0 into The Lemon Drop Rom. Auto_Debloat mods the build.prop file and updates the GPU drivers and tweaks. I love music, Lemon Drop was designed with music in mind, by forcing true 24 bit audio, at 44.1 kHz and System wide Quad DAC support. You will need to install apps like the alarm clock and weather. Most all LG apps are still there and some Google apps, like Chrome and the Play Store. You can always DeGoogle, at any time or keep Google Play Services installed. The idea is to customize Lemon Drop, to fit your needs.
Please read Questions, before rooting or flashing Auto_Debloat.

New v9.39 & v8.39
Updated to speed mod v5.15 trying to save a little bit of battery life without sacrificing speed. Also fixed some apps crashing.
New v9.38 & v8.38
Added some Zram tweaks.
New v9.37 & v8.37
I got Zram fixed. I was able to have 22 apps open at the same time and Android did not close the apps on me. I was using 1.8 gig's of Zram when doing that. Because Zram was never working before it will take like 1 second sometimes to open an app that's because it's in compressed ram and the phone needs to uncompress it on the fly. So just an fyi. The Zram size is 2304MB with a mem_limit of 768MB. But this will save loading from the eMMC drive because we are loading the apps from Zram once you have opened the app. Oh yeah and swapfile is disabled. Enjoy everyone.
New v9.36 & v8.36
Also Changed zram disk size to the optimal size of 2304MB I did the math and this is the best size of zram for this phone. Swapfile is disabled.
New v9.35 & v8.35
Removed the swapfile as it may slow the phone down. Increased the size of the Zram.
Enable 768MB Zram mem_limit and disksize of 3840MB
New v9.34 & v8.34
Fixed an issue with the swapfile priority
New v9.33 & v8.33
Changed Zram to 768MB Added swapfile 1024MB
Fixed issue with sluggish ui
I set the priority of Zram to high and the swapfile to low so the phone will use Zram first then once it's filled up the phone will start using the swapfile. This should give us a lot more ram for multitasking.
New v9.32 & v8.32
Added a 1.5Gig Zram with lz4 compression. Removed Swapfile.
Well I did a lot of research and trial and error, and have concluded that we need to give zram a try. I have came up with a custom zram that's 1.5Gig's. This phone is lacking ram. I wish we had 6 gig's or 8gig's. But we have 4gig's and most of that is used by the OS. So the only way to increase the ram on the phone is with zram. The next version will have my own custom zram config that's 1.5gig's. I got it done already. I guess I always thought that zram would slow my phone down, but I have tweaked this version to make it fast. I have to say I am impressed with the results.
New v9.31 & v8.31
Changed swapfile size to 256MB
Found the optimal swapfile size it's 256MB. That will reduce writes on the eMMC drive and still allow you to open a number of apps at the same time without having android kill them. The tweak from last version helps a lot also by freeing up extra ram.
New v9.30 & v8.30
Free up extra ram by reset zram0 and zram1
Lemon Drop is still using a swapfile
New v9.29 & v8.29
Added Speed mod v5.14 change micro sdcard disk scheduler to noop. Might speed up sdcard a little bit.
New v9.28 & v8.28
Added the Lemon Drop Boot logo. I think the phone may boot a little bit faster because there is no animation to load.
New v9.27 & v8.27
Added Speed mod v5.13 fixed image retention issue.
New v9.26 & v8.26
Added Speed mod v5.12 some tweaks a little faster and may improve battery life.
New v9.25 & v8.25
Tweaked the 1024MB Swapfile
New v9.24 & v8.24
Added Internet Speed Tweak
I tweaked "/system/vendor/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant_overlay.conf" and the wifi is a lot faster now.
New v9.23 & v8.23
Added Camera improvement tweak. This will make the photos you take crisp, clear and sharp.
New v9.22 & v8.22
Fixed bug if system is mounted as read-only. If so then Auto_Debloat would not install. Some other small bug fixes.
New v9.21 & v8.21
Added speed mod v5.11. This should speed up the phone a little bit more. Should also save battery life. I tweaked the sched_upmigrate and sched_downmigrate. The up is set to 95% and down is set to 90%. So if a task is using more that 95% of cpu it will go the big cpu and vice versa.
New v9.20 & v8.20
Increased the swapfile to 1024MB & some fixes. No Zram only a swapfile.
New v9.19 & v8.19
Added Speed Mod v5.10 Tweaked Entropy speed tweak a little bit more.
New v9.18 & v8.18
Added Speed mod v5.9 Added an entropy speed tweak. Should speed up the phone and help with lag.
New v9.17 & v8.17
New Name for the Rom: Lemon_Drop
Added name to Android Version 8.0.0_Lemon_Drop
Just if you were wondering it's the Lemon Drop Candies not the drink. They were always my fav as a kid.
New v9.16 & v8.16
Added United States GPS Fix
To: /system/vendor/etc/gps.conf
New v9.15 & v8.15
Changed the swap file to 512MB, It's more like 488MB but it should be plenty.
New v9.14 & v8.14
Added a 341MB swap file to /cache/swapfile
This is something I wanted to do for a long time but I did not know where to put it at. The cache directory is the best place for it. Flashing the Speed Mod will remove the swap file. If that happens just flash Auto_Debloat again.
On v9.14 & v8.14
You may want to do a format data & reinstall of Oreo And Auto_Debloat. My phone is running faster, sound is great, I am getting close to the final version, this may be it.
New v9.13 & v8.13
Added AdAway default blocklist to /system/etc/hosts
New v9.12 & v8.12
Added a cool Droid startup animation no sound.
New v9.10 & v8.10
Updated speed mod to v5.8, a lot faster now. I think this is the max speed I can get out of the Lgv20.
New v9.9 & 8.9
It's even faster than v8.9 & v8.8. I found OTA file that is needed by the phone to do updates. I deleted that. And also I downgraded Magisk from v23.0 to v21.4 in v9.9. I think for now we should just stay on Magisk v21.4 it seems to work the best with Oreo. Only thing is you need to do another full reinstall again, for this new version. I am getting close to being done with Auto_Debloat.
New v9.8 & v8.8
Formatted the RCT and FOTA devices. Before I was just wiping them. Now there is no way the phone can download FOTA updates. Not in less Android knows how to read a NTFS file system. I think this new version has improved the speed of the phone a lot. Full reinstall is required for this version. Also found out how to unmount all the partitions after Auto_Debloat is done.
New v9.7 & v8.7
Updated to Speed mod v5.7 some other fixes. Enjoy.
I think this is it for awhile. I just keep finding thing to tweak. I am having fun.
New Stable versions of Auto_Debloat
v9.6 & v8.6
Updated the speed mod to v5.6
v9.5.1 & v8.5.1
I spent a lot of time changing the Auto_Debloat install script to get a perfect install of Stock Oreo Debloated. The trick is to un-mount all partitions after Auto_Debloat is done and before you reboot from TWRP into system. It's recommended to do a full reinstall with this version. Lot's of changes to the install script. Also Updated twrp to twrp-3.6.2_9-0-h910.
v9.2.2 & v8.2.2
Sable Branch version also. Has no add-on mods installed. It's recommended to do a full reinstall with this version. Lot's of changes to the install script. Un-mount all partitions after Auto_Debloat is done and before you reboot from TWRP into system.
v9.4 &v 8.4
Updated the Speed mod from v5.4 to v5.5. Moved Auto_Debloat_log to /system and moved build.prop.stock to /system.
Also there was an issue with Auto_Debloat v9.3 & v8.3 where it was not backing up the original build.prop file. Also my phone was getting hot with v9.3 & 8.3 IDK why? But this new version phone seems to be running a lot cooler.
This version there is some other changes I made to improve the install of Stock Oreo. I would recommend doing a full reinstall with this version, if anything to get your stock build.prop file backed up.
v9.3 & v8.3
I wanted to Include some of my Add-on Mods in Auto_Debloat.
What's included is in v9.3

I was having an issue with my sdcard, my files were getting corrupted. I think I fixed the issue with v9.2 and v8.2. You can update if you want, it's always best to do a full reinstall. Update instructions are down below.
I think it had something to do with Oreo wanting to encrypt the sd card. But it's a issue I have been dealing with for a long time. Let's hope I got it this time. Always backup your sdcard just in case.
v9.1 & v8.1
This version is 95% Vanilla Stock Oreo Debloated to the max. Same for v9.2 & 8.2. This version there is a bug that may corrupt your sd card. Best use v9.2 or 8.2 if you want a Vanilla Stock Oreo Debloated.

FAQ & Troubleshooting guide
Updated on 05-17-23
Questions (please read before rooting, or flashing Auto_Debloat)
What's the number one rule I should know before I root my Lgv20?
Very crucial before you flash the KDZ to downgrade your firmware for rooting, make a DUMP with LGUP all files, you don't need to dump system or cache. Put it in a very safe place, like google drive. It will have your EFS and your EFS has the IMEI number of that particular phone. If your EFS ever becomes corrupted then you can re-flash your EFS from your backup to get cell signal working again.
Can I just edit step3.bat and install the latest twrp in there?
No. You need the old version of twrp to format data, then you can update twrp to the latest version. You only need to remove the encryption on the data partition once, when rooting your phone. The old version of twrp is the only version I know of, that can remove the encryption on the data partition.
My camera does not work after Auto_Debloat?
If you were on LIneageOS or crDroid and then flashed Stock Oreo, then your camera may not work afterwords. The only fix that I know of is to root your phone again. Flash the KDZ to downgrade your firmware and root again.
I can not download Magisk modules with v24.3?
It's because that version of Magisk is too old, that's the only version that works with Oreo. You can still install Magisk modules offline, from the zip file.
What is the EFS?
"EFS stands for Encrypting File System, which is really important part of networking and communication for Android Smartphones, It also contains your device IMEI data."
What is the MSM8996?
"MSM8996 (or Snapdragon 820) is a Qualcomm SoC released in 2016."
What does FOSS mean?
Free and open-source software
Can all Lgv20 phones be rooted?
Most but not all.
How to check to see if you can root, lgv20 Anti-Rollback Version ARB
Can my LS997 install the Lemon Drop Rom?
As far as I know there is no Oreo Stock rom for the LS997, so Auto_Debloat will not work on that model of phone. But you may be able to install Lineage OS depending on your firmware. Check your ARB.
Sprint LG V20 Model (LS997): Comprehensive Overview of Guides and Resources (and why most LS997 phones are unrootable)
Go back to the top post and follow the install guide for your phone.
End of questions.
Is there a guide I can root my Lgv20 with Dirtysanta?
Yes, this is how I rooted my H910. It should be about the same for other Lgv20 phones, you just need to find your root guide for your phone.
1. Disable real time scanning, on the windows virus scanner. Download all the files, save terminal emulator to your microsd card the other two save on your computer, unzip dirtysanta, install usb drivers if using windows. Root your H910 with this guide.
h910_root_pkg.zip "DirtySanta root package"
usb drivers for windows
Terminal Emulator for Android "f-droid Download APK at bottom of page"
2. [ROOT] HOWTO: AT&T H910 up to v20g (FULLY TESTED) Note: before you flash the KDZ to downgrade your firmware make a DUMP backup with LGUP all files. You don't need to DUMP system or cache. It will have your EFS.
3. On step3.bat wait for phone to reboot from fastboot mode, when you see the LG logo, pull the battery. Do a factory reset and that will load TWRP How to factory reset the Lgv20.
4. Then format data. Very important, you format data with the older version of twrp that is with dirtysanta.
5. Then power off phone.
Note: This next part is for the H910, you need to get your version of twrp for your model of Lgv20. Latest version of twrp link at the bottom of page
6. Download twrp for the H910 twrp-3.7.0_9-0-h910.img
7. With the phone powered off, hold the down volume button and plug in usb to computer and phone.
type on your computer:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.7.0_9-0-h910.img
fastbboot reboot
take battery out
put back in
go into twrp by doing a factory reset. How to factory reset the Lgv20
8. Then you want to format data once more with the new version of twrp.
9. power off phone
10. Now would be a good time to reinstall your EFS. Just scroll down tell you see Manually reinstall your EFS on the Lgv20.
Troubleshooting guide for Dirtysanta
Getting an error on step1.bat "dirtysanta no such file or directory"?
Just disable real time scanning in windows defender, and try again. You will have to unzip the files again as windows defender will eat up dirtysanta. Dirtysanta was created by the Lgv20 community at XDA, it's not a virus.
I am stuck in fastboot mode on step3.bat, I get an error?
You most likely have a driver issue in windows. Just stay in fastboot mode fix your windows drivers and run step3.bat again.
[GUIDE] V20 Fastboot access in Windows.
Getting Secure Start up when booting?
Secure start-up issue. If your getting this screen do not try and type in a password. After 30 attempts it may brick your phone. What's going on is your data partition is still encrypted. You need to do a format in twrp on the data partition. Some versions of twrp will not remove the encryption correct for the Lgv20. I know the twrp version that is with dirtysanta will remove the encryption from the data partition. Then you can just update twrp again, you only need to format once.
Stuck at boot screen after flashing Nougat rom to root?
After flashing the rom to downgrade your firmware to root, if your stuck at the boot screen. Factory reset that should fix the issue.
Manually reinstall your EFS on the Lgv20.
You need to find your Original DUMP of the rom your Lgv20 phone was on, before you downgraded your firmware for rooting.
With the phone powered off, hold the down volume button and plug in usb to computer and phone.
type on your computer:
Note: COM6 is what ever com port you were using at the time.
fastboot flash fsg fsg_COM6
fastboot flash misc misc_COM6
fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1_COM6
fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2_COM6
fastboot reboot
Note: If you just rooted your phone, take battery out after you type fastboot reboot. Because you do not have an os installed yet, the phone will not boot. Go back to the top post and follow the install guide for your phone.
End of dirtysanta guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I save battery power on the H910 & all phones?
You can turn off AT&T Auto Connect under WIFI. Then under NFC Disable Tag Reading. Also you can download Force_Doze_Mode, this is for all phones.
Force Doze Mode Force your phone into doze mode to save battery. (root only) With Google or without, like LineageOS or a DeGoogled phone.
Also one of my favorite programs for all phones
SuperFreezZ "making it possible to entirely freeze all background activities of any app."
Also if you want to save your battery from wear you can use BatteryBot Pro. You can set an alarm when charged is reached and you can see your battery level on the second screen with the screen off.

I have an H910 so I can show you benchmarks from Auto_Debloat v9.66 DeGoogled Oreo v20g. I am still using the LG OEM 2018 battery, so a new battery may show better performance.
Geekbench 5
3dmark max
All internet speed tests were done on Auto_Debloat 9.74
Home Wifi on 2.4GHz 144 connection.
AT&T LTE
What options do you recommend for a twrp backup?
Your sdcard need's to be formatted in exfat.
Boot
Recovery
System Image
data (excl. storage)
EFS
Firmware
LAF/Download Mode
What about a twrp restore?
You should factory reset, then restore only if you were already had Lemon Drop installed.
You only need to flash.
Boot

How do I format my sdcard for the Lgv20 & copy over my data?
Note: Formatting will delete all you data on your microsd card. So you may want to make a backup first before formatting.
I have found that it is best to format the sdcard in twrp.
Click on Wipe
Click Advanced Wipe
Check Mark Micro SD card
Click repair or Change file System
Click Change File System
Click on exFAT
Swipe to format
It's best to just Mount the Usb Storage in TWRP to copy over your data to you micro sd card. I was having issues with my sdcard reader in my laptop. I think it was corrupting the files on the sd card. This way you don't ever have to take your card out of your phone.
What is the differences between Auto_Debloat 9.x & Auto_Debloat 8.x?
Not much they are almost identical. Auto_Debloat 9.x has the H910 boot.img, twrp and modem drivers. Auto_Debloat 8.x does not have the boot.img, twrp or modem drivers, so it can be used on most Lgv20 phones, running Stock Oreo 8.0.
Can I use my Unlocked Lgv20 on another carrier, after Auto_Debloat?
You will need to make sure your APN is setup. Access Point Names, Go to settings, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names. If you do not see your carrier there you need to manually type it in. Do a google search to find your APN carrier settings. Other than that you will need to find out if the Lgv20 model phone you have is compatible with the carrier you are using it on. You may also need to call your cell provider and have them enable LTE or give them your IMEI number.
What does Auto_Debloat change on the Lgv20?
It removes a about one gigabyte of bloatware, disables all logging on the phone. Disabled MLT/LDB that slows your phone down. Removed LG Root Checker tool. Disabled all FOTA updates, when your phone is rooted FOTA updates will break your phone. Oh and there is my very own custom build.prop tweaks I have put together. Also Auto_Debloat will update the GPU drivers. All these changes will speed up the Lgv20 and bring it back to life, so you can use it for years down the road.
Why did I make the Lemon Drop Rom and the extra-add on mods?
I love my Lgv20 phone, it's an awesome phone. I don't think there will ever be another phone like the Lgv20. I want to use my Lgv20 phone for years down the road. I cant stand it when my phone or computers don't run perfect.
Why did I make the FAQ & Troubleshooting guide?
There is no way I could remember all this information. I use the guide myself, when I need to reinstall the Lemon Drop Rom. Once I forgot that I needed to reinstall my EFS, and I could not understand why I was only connecting at 4G not LTE. That's when I decided I need to write all this information down.
I am a developer may I port Auto_Debloat to another phone?
Yes you may, I only have an Lgv20. But if you want to take the time and port Auto_Debloat over to another phone, go for it.
Is LTE going away because of 5G?
"LTE, which stands for Long Term Evolution, will be around for at least 10 years, so 5G will not make LTE obsolete any time soon. May 20, 2020"
Can I change my Lgv20 from CDMA to LTE/GSM?
Depending on your version of firmware.
LG V20 CDMA to LTE/GSM switch via Hidden Menu
Can I go to LineageOS from the Lemon Drop Rom?
Yes you can, flash the KDZ to downgrade your firmware and root your phone again.
The End.

Yeah give me 5 min I was putting the final touches on Auto_Debloat v8.3 and v7.3. Uploading now.
Auto_Debloat v9.1 and v8.1 Fixed GPU permission files. Backed up stock build.prop file just in case you ever need it.
Just wondering what do u mean by disabling the ota?

OTA Updates are short for Over the Air Updates. When your phone is rooted then OTA updates will break your phone. I disabled all OTA updates. Also if they push out an OTA Update that changes the ARB Anti Role Back on the Lgv20 then the Lgv20 will be bricked. So it's just a good idea to have them disabled when your phone is rooted. If your going to run a stock based rom.
"An over-the-air (OTA) update is the wireless delivery of new software, firmware, or other data to mobile devices. Wireless carriers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) typically use over-the-air updates to deploy firmware and configure phones for use on their networks over Wi-Fi or mobile broadband."
Hey I just wanted to say thank you for creating this! I have an h910, been running alphaomega for the last couple of years I guess pretty happy but it got a bit buggy and is no longer supported obviously.
So this afternoon I'm gonna back up and take the plunge, change to this stock debloated and see how I get along. I'm a bit nervous haha since it's been ages since I tinkered/flashed anything.....will I remember, will it go smoothly jaja....or will this be two days without a phone and lots of hours sat reading? Soon find out!
I love the v20, really appreciate peoples' efforts to keep it alive and useful - I don't know if I'll ever want/need more from a phone to be honest!
*edit* I'm having real problems getting the rom file from androidfilehost There is only one mirror available and it keeps cutting my connection, I have to pause and restart, downloads a few megs and then stops again.....
If it is easy to put up another copy of the file somewhere it'd be appreciated, thank you!

Thank you very much, I love my Lgv20 phone and don't want to see it die. I have used A/O in the past it is a good rom just a lot of bloatware on the H910 phone. It's not hard at all to install on the H910 just flash two files and your good to go. But as for download the rom I know what your talking about.
If you have issues downloading the rom from androidfile hosting you use this Firefox extension Multithreaded Download Manager
Edit: You also may want to take screen shots of your phone, that way you know how you had your phone setup before hand. Just press down vol and power at the same time. They are stored in /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots Back them up to the micro sdcard because you will need to format data and it will wipe everything on your internal storage. Also you may want to backup everything you want to save from your internal storage to the micro sdcard.

Thanks for your reply! I reckon flashing it will be easy too - hope so!
I did try with a couple of different download managers in Firefox, no luck. Now slowly but surely getting it bit by bit in brave browser haha. It lets me resume after showing "network error", which firefox didn't. Fingers crossed!

Yeah Multithreaded Download Manager is the best download manager I have ever used for Firefox. If that don't work you can always use that extension. I just downloaded the rom just now took about 6 min to download. It download at full speed of your internet.

Thanks again for your replies!
I will persist with brave for now, I'm at 1.4 gigs and it keeps resuming OK so I'll try to be patient haha. I live in the mountains with limited data connection only, when its good 700kbps, average 200ish - but 100gig a month current limit so I really want to get it this time without wasting data If this one doesn't work in brave, one more try with multithreaded and then a walk into town tomorrow if not.
Looking forward to having a clean install again, cheers!

Not a problem, just follow the Installation instructions and Auto_Debloat will do all the hard work for you.
Hey man just to update
The install went smooth as, everything seems very snappy and the battery seems to be lasting nicely, no greenify or anything else installed.
I did get an issue I had before when installing AlphaOmega - I had no modem (phone didn't recognize it had a sim card in the slot). I installed as per instructions formatting and rebooting, coming from my previous AO (also Oreo) installation. Fortunately, I solved this problem, wrote a detailed write up and still had my modified modem file from 3 years ago. Here is that detailed write up for if anyone else should have the problem of only having Modem (cell signal) or Fingerprint working after flash. Doesn't seem to happen to many people, but a few have had the same problem as me.
Now in the long process of getting the phone back as I want it
Thanks again for your time and effort on this - it is so nice to boot into a debloated, snappy phone.....just playing with all your recommendations now, the screen ghosting zip seems to have worked well, battery is great, phone is quick....I'll keep playing and reporting anything interesting etc Subscribed, too of course!

That's great you got it working. Thanks for posting a guide about how to fix the modem on the H910. I know some people have had issues getting the cell signal working correct in Oreo. I have never had that issue before with both H910 phones I have. So that does help out. Enjoy.
hey everyone I have updated the Thermal mods today 5-5-22 and I have updated the speed mods 5-4-22. The thermal mods are most likely the final version, I am very happy with how they turned out this time. Sometimes I have one of those aha moments and everything just comes together. That's how it was with the thermal mods today.
Updated all the speed mods to v3.1
