Possibily well-explained way to get Marshmallow working... - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

Marshmallow for this device, keeps crashing as it is (com.android.phone, RIL). Getting the problem solved is easy, @puntoazul already written something like that, but I managed to get everything that has to be flashed in a single post.
Flash these files, in the next order, from top to bottom:
- A-GAPPS_6.0.1_09022016.zip - https://mega.nz/#!M99xiQbZ!fcclA9QDSXxxizsifu21MUbgMGsyRsNCCHPO4KrF5xQ (thanks to @puntoazul for packing it)

- UNIVERSAL NFC DESTROYER - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3280610&d=1429942749 (thanks to @-CALIBAN666- for developing it), yeah, it's made for lollipop but works perfectly.
- Media.zip (codecs pack) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3680746&d=1457817927 (thanks to @EdwinMoq for packing it.)
When you're done, do a factory reset and reboot your device. Then, enjoy Marshmallow .
EDIT: Media.zip seems to be a mistyped step, I haven't found it and it wasn't needed to get a successful startup on my device.
EDIT: It seems like it's needed, anyways, I haven't found it, waiting for @EdwinMoq to answer.

Ive been experiencing the same problems you have, but i found my own alternate way. Since this phone isnt my daily driver, i used lucky patcher to remove the phone services app aka com.android.phone from the system.Everything is fixed, all stabilized and smooth. I still get crashing from phone and messaging storage,but no lag or stability issues. But ill try this anyway to try to completely remedy the crashing

As only two entries for Orange seem to be missing in the APN database: Does everyone need that fix because the APN list is totally corrupted by this, or only certain Orange customers?

For a better stability, you must flash it. For example, running this ROM without this patch, the RIL keeps crashing, taking in mind that Movistar and Tuenti (a lesser know Argentina provider, a recently started provider), are not being detected.

I'll wait for the next build. Then probably use it as a Wireless AP, as there are huge problems resulting from the small data partition and Ram. I still hope that MMs z-buffer feature provides some solution. This whole mess started about half a year ago and getting worse, on the L9 and a similarly featured tablet with CM11, so it's not the rom's fault. The tablet has plenty of space on the data partition, however, but ram and SoC face similar problems.
My current wireless AP is an Iphone 4s with only 0,5GB Ram. And it's is still working reliably, no apps freezing and fcing, and I can access websites which will make Firefox on the L9 and said tablet quit every time.
All the affected apps seem to deal with HTML code and are supposed to use the system webview engine. Updating the Google webview engine is possible with CM12.1 and 13, but to no avail, only taking space on the data partition.

Well. I tried it. No crashing at all with A-Gapps or Gapps mini
But I kept getting kernel panics,even while charging.So I reverted to my system modified nandroid backup in which I uninstalled Phone services aka com.Android. phone and disabled Phone and messaging storage app.

As i have previously explained in original thread all of these files in a single go. with order defined
1) Goto TWRP recovery can also use new TWRP 3.0.2.0 (i have already installed marshmallow without any errors)
2) Wipe system, Cache and Davic
3) Flash rom
4) Flash Media.zip
5) Flash A-GAPPS_6.0.1_09022016.zip
6) Flash APNFixer4CM13.zip
7) If you have a p768 flash campatch
Also flashed NFC Destroyer so that on booting for the first time... i did'n encountered any error at all.. i have been using this ROM as my daily driver and never encountered any kernel panic or ant other error also i didn't faced any rotation problem. its working fine as it should be. Only thing i am concerned about is battery, it drains very fast, tweaking with kernel auditor didn't help me either. other then this i haven't faced any problem, everything is working fine, i'm able to install Xposed framework without any problem.. Great work......
I have also tried this with New TWRP Recovery.... worked like a charm

Can you tell me your real phone model? There're some hard incompatibilities between the P760 and the P769.

The kernel panics that you're experiencing, are also being faced by most of the people who has tried the P760 build in the P769, please check the ROM @EdwinMoq 's post and download the special build for this model, and try again. Then, please tell me how it goes.

Well specifically, i used the p769 version. i tried apn fixer, nfc destroyer and media.zip, but the problem persisted. so i just reverted back to my nandroid backup in which i uninstalled com.android.phone aka phone services and disabled phone and messaging storage.I have it stable this way without kernel panics and using gapps mini since this isnt my daily driver. My galaxy core prime is SMG360T1.

That's quite strange, seems like a bad kernel. For me, using the P760 (in the P778g, Argentina, LATAM) works fine, both speakers (front and rear) and headphones.

When the headphone amp starts to clip/overdrive, this is accompanied by an unplugging event for the headphones. Artas' CM11 and CM12.1 are affected, too, but I could get my P760 to work with decent and stable sound output. While in Rammar's PA sound volume was even lower than with the stock rom(too low for even bothering to take the headphones with me) , CM12.1 is loudest. In order to not accidentially trip clipping and unplugging events, which will also reset volume to safety level, requiring to turn it up and clip again etc etc, Ilimited max volume to 80% in the Headset Button Controller app,which allows to control volume via headset mic button.

Always nice to see a new thread for i605. This doesn't happen often. Thank you!
Thanks again for building this for us we all appreciate it!
will be testing this out and see how it spars. thanks for this! I was going to try and "port" it over from the t0lte with replacing some libs and such, lol.
Thank you! I'm downloading right now. Looking like a slow day at work, so why not?
Downloaded files. Backed everything up. Rebooted to recovery. Wiped / Factory Reset using TWRP. Installed both zips sequentially. Apprehensive when I rebooted. Took a couple of minutes of sweating watching the CM Logo swirl around, and then bam! I'm up and running Lollipop. I'll update soon...

So, I've got it up and running. It's fast and smooth, but there's a couple of glaring issues stopping me from testing any farther. The first screen that comes up after you initially select your language, is a new (to me) "Activating Cellular Service" screen. It has a message on the screen saying this "can take up to 5 minutes". I let it go for longer than that, but I got an error that it was unable to activate and I was able to try again, or skip it. I'll skip it for now just to see how the rest of the ROM works. Next screen is Wifi login, works fine., but you still have to hit "skip" even after you sign in to wifi.
Then it checks connections, for updates, etc and I keep getting the error that google play services has stopped. I haven't even logged into it yet...
Next screen is Tap N Go. Option to transfer all of your stuff off your old phone using NFC. Great idea, but I'm not testing because my new phone IS my old phone.
Then, it's google login time. Worked fine, standard stuff we're used to with options to download/backup your apps using google. It takes a minute here, and I kept getting popups about all of the google apps stopping, each individually. Annoying a bit... I hit the "RESTORE" option, this is my second try, and the first time I didn't have Root, so I couldn't download Titanium to restore everything. I also skipped the google restore last time, so I tried it this time. This is a new screen for me, but it takes me to a "Restoring" screen for a bit. It's not as annoying as on previous Android versions, having to individually approve each app that was updating/downloading. I keep getting the popups about one Google app or another stopping.
I get past the restore page, and the phone locks up. Reboot... After reboot, I have to go into the play store to download Titanium. It seems quite a few apps were restored by Google, but not all. I looked at the "My Apps" section of the play store, and there's a ton of apps cued up to download. It's what I was trying to avoid... So I hit "Stop" at the top, and it stops them all.
**I mentioned earlier that this is my 2nd try, the first try was about the same, but I didn't have root access. I downloaded SuperSU, but it wouldn't update the binaries, so it was useless. I tried SuperUser, it didn't work either. So, I rebooted to recovery, wiped, flashed the ROM, GApps, and the SuperSU zip I had saved on my SD card from my previous Omni Rom. Then I rebooted and now you can read what happened.
At this point, I'm having problems downloading Titanium Backup, SuperSU, or anything I really want. The Play Store is hanging and force closing. I can't even open the SuperSU I flashed from TWRP. There must be compatibility issues. I read somewhere that Lollipop has issues with root somehow, but I'm not sure. On my first try, I was able to download Titanium Backup no problem, but it wouldn't work because I didn't have root access. SuperSU and SuperUser didn't help after downloading. CM has always been pre-rooted on all of the other devices I've installed it on.
For now, I'm just going to restore my backup of Omni Rom and be content with 4.4.4 for now.
I'll try again if anyone can help with actually being on the VZW Network and Root. I didn't get a chance to play with the other stuff in Lollipop yet, but I would love to.

Giving this a try!! Downloading now
Update- Downloaded and installed without any problems. I did have to skip the network verification set-up as it never went anywhere and wifi set-up worked as with setting up my g-mail account,.
Everything seems good except for no service, baseband version still unknown and no service or apn's for data.
going back to Liquid till this gets updated.

ok so I got this flashed again strange this time after booting it said no sim card inserted and to insert my sim, it was not out and i skipped and moved to wifi , setup worked all the way and I got a log cat, hope I did it correct as this is new to me. I have to re-flash to Liquid for now so that I have a working phone as I go to work in an hour,
Again let me know if you need any more details

Yes, I flashed the gapps from your post. gapps-lp-20141109 is what the file name was. I use TWRP, not sure if it's the latest but it works fine. I always do the "factory reset" wipe option in twrp, because I believe that's a full wipe with one swipe... Now, just to test it out and see if I was doing something wrong, I tried the Liquid Smooth build (latest nightly) from 1/7, and it loaded and booted just fine. Had to flash the ROM, Gapps, GPS Fix, and Super SU (so I can restore my apps in Titanium). It connected to data, and ran me through the setup in a flash. It's working well enough to be a daily driver. Do you have any other suggestions? I'm willing to help if you want me to try something else.
Going to give this a try. Thank you for giving this phone options. It is greatly appreciated.

I love to flash and then go through a process of testing. I actually got 2 gt-n5110s so I could test a couple builds at same time, kind of a back to back comparison.
I would love to pick up another i650 that still has unlocked bootloader for testing that way on this device as well.
Well back to this rom, I couldn't get past the getting data screen and had to abort. I did a clean flash and wiped everything with both philz and TWRP 2.8.3.0. I tried both stock and shift kernels.
Lets face it, I'm a flashaholic. lol.....

Xperia Z Ultra No Sound After Lockscreen / Sleep

hello, im just recently flashing FTF files to my z ultra, and its works fine until i left my phone idle for a while, and when checking back all sound input / output is gone. Totally gone, cant receive a call, no sound all only vibrate, mic also disabled, i must restart then the sound will back.
I already try to flash another FTF and it also having the same problem. Is it bug from 5.1.1 ? what should i do ? im not to advanced in android. Thanks
what FTF files that I used : C6802_Customized+TH_14.6.A.0.368.ftf and C6802_14.6.A.0.368_1275-8963_Customized-MEA.ftf
both of them sharing the same problem, randomly no sound after idle ( screen of for a while )
Do you wipe before/after you've flashed it/them? Also, I would probably have flashed an older FTF just to check that it's a software issue and not a hardware one (not that any hardware issue would do these things), but just to be sure. If the same issue happens on a lower firmware, then it's a little harder to determine what the issue might be.
Also, try to flash an FTF from your region or one that's fairly close. I flashed a Saudi Arabian .368 FTF the first time, and I had major issues with battery and other smaller bugs, but when I flashed one from my region (Europe), it solved itself. I just think you're having some bad luck, and it sounds like some software issues. Don't forget to wipe the system before or after you've flashed it.
Im flashing using flashtool, i suppose i already wipe, and im trying to find the stock version, but it seem i cant find a proper one, im trying to find the unmodifed / original one. but it seem all dead link, when i found one, i flash and it stuck at bootloop. So i just go back to the 5.1.1, which have the bug like that.
Anyway, the C6802 tft is limited, can i use another C6833 ftf ?

thanks, ill try, i hope its working...
Hello, im upping this thread...
its still not working, the sound still have same bug...
it seem something weird around bootloader stuff, i find my phone is unlocked bootloader.
is anyone know that unlocking bootloader can make sony xperia z ultra no sound bug like this ?
anywork around ?
i already try installing custom rom, but all my custom rom i try is stuck at bootloop, or just wont stick ( it detected as no OS and just keep on SONY logo )
any recommendation of custom rom that i should try ?
and im really newbie here, all recovery that i install is gone after i flash custom rom, so its really hard to flash rom, root, install recovery and install custom rom which is a dead end ( bootloop )
*its really weird bug...
sometime sony camera app also wont open ( app crash ) + no sound
after rebooting 2-3x its fix both of them, after screen go to sleep
sound is gone, and the camera still works fine until i reboot or no battery ( repeat reboot and it fix the camera and sound ( temporary )
>> relock bootloader, and restore with official software ( pc companion ) still not fix this bug.
You use Google play "soundabout" app .workaround. will restore sound

it still cant, it seem something wrong with audio engine / system files. when i press 'play' button on walkman it didnt changed.
all sound app didnt work and saying something wrong
as for camera, i cant use sony default camera, but i can use other camera app, such as google camera. but as the audio all 3rd party app not working either directly crash or just stay still play button can be pressed.
up again...
trying installing custom rom ( resurection remix ) now it success, with xz dual recovery
but still no sound comming out, camera is working fine.
anyone experience the same problem ? sony rom and stock make camera app crashed and no sound
custom rom, still no sound.
the same error, when i press play button on any audio player, it just back to paused and the time still in 00:00
it seem something wrong in the system, but i just fresh install
The bug sounds very strange (haven't experienced it on C6802/HK or C6833/DE) but will give you some recommendations for flashing:
1. Download the TWRP recovery from this thread and flash it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/twrp-togari-t3197082
If you are on a stock based ROM, do step 1b. Otherwise flash a stock/based ROM first since it is necessary for extraction of those particular files.
1b. Before flashing anything, download Root Explorer or another file manager with root access and copy the files inside /Data/etc to the memory card. This is a way of avoiding the MAC address issue on some custom ROMs.
2. Download a ROM of choice. I would recommend BlissPop or Resurrection Remix but try the 20151007 build (the newer ones suffer from a WiFi issue).
2b. Check this thread for a fix for lost IMEI on C6802:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/general/guide-stock-to-custom-rom-t2901739
3. Boot into TWRP and wipe everything. Wipe system, data, cache, Dalvik cache and the internal storage.
4. Flash the ROM and the IMEI fix.
5. Wipe cache and Dalvik cache again.
6. Boot the ROM, let it settle for 5 minutes (after seeing the setup guide) and reboot, then do the setup.
7. Install a file explorer and copy the files from /Data/etc back into its place. You will notice that the folder is empty on a ROM such as BP so you will put the files back in place.
8. Reboot the device.
If the problem persists despite those steps, I would assume that something is corrupted and I would do a full wipe, flash a stock ROM and then repeat the steps again. I know that some root methods such as KingRoot can leave trash files which can interfere with ROM flashes and updates but doing a full wipe should clear those things out.
One option is a downgrade to a KitKat stock ROM such as 108 followed by rooting with Easy Root Tool and then making an update by flashing a new stock ROM with the /system partition excluded followed by reflashing of TWRP and flash of a custom ROM.
If nothing helps, then there is a possibility of some kind of hardware issue. I am supporting four Ultra's in total (one C6802 and three C6833s) and have never encountered such a problem. I have experienced BT dropouts on early LP ROMs and also phone FCs after kernel experimentation but everything has been cleared up by doing a clean flash with a full wipe.
A last long shot would be to try a different SIM card. Not that I suspect it but it has happened that some SIMs have been problematic thus causing strange behavior with the device. I don't think it is the SIM but it is just a way of excluding the possibility. Even far-stretched solutions can work when issues are very strange.

Have you tried to flash the correct ftf? I don't have time to read through the thread.
Have you tried Sony repair tool?
What I would suggest is trying a different mixer path
Root directory>system>etc>mixer_paths.XML make a copy somewhere, delete the file and insert a new one.
I've owned a white 02 model and had similar issues I just ended selling it and getting a 06 model.

GApps error after installing custom ROM

So I have got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 3G 10.1" that has been lying in a cupboard for a around a year, mainly because I've been busy Now there's a family member of mine who would really need a tablet so I thought this one would be perfect for her!
From thinking I went on to doing and started with getting rid of the stock software and installing some nice custom ROM.
As I found out i couldn't use USB (probably busted data-cable), I rooted the tab using KingRoot and went on installing CWM recovery. Afterwards long story short: I've tried both CWM and TWRP, different ROM and android versions (Lineage, CM, Slim etc.) and different GApps packages from different developers but the problem still seems to come up :crying:
The problem itself is that when I've installed any of the above mentioned ROMs, all the GApps seem to not have been installed correctly (even though the installation process in recovery went smoothly) and basically none of them works (notifications saying that any GApp has stopped keep on coming up and I can't find any Google app in the menu except something things like "com.google.android..." or "com.android.vending...") otherwise everything seems perfectly fine.
Maybe there are others here experiencing the same issue or there's someone who knows how to fix this here, any help will be very appreciated :good:
Hello,
First, have you checked that the ROM you flashed was fully compatible with your device? Yes, this is obvious, but I have to ask.
Second, I'm not a ROM flashing via custom recovery fan... The best way to efficiently flash a ROM in my opinion is Odin-Download mode but whatever (your USB port is screwed, so pfu.)
Redownloading apps doesn't work for you? (updating the apk may fix that!)

Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I do have used ROMs compatible with my device as they've all are made for espresso3g (which is my device).
I know it's not really the best way but I'll keep on trying with custom recovery for some more time and then perhaps try buying a new cable, and see if that works.
Tried installing Google Play Store from APK both on a clean ROM without GApps and with, but it still doesn't run and keeps on saying that either Google Play Store or "com.google.process.gapps" has stopped.
Alright...
I'm out of idea x/

Hello...!
You could try the following....
1. make absolutely sure you are using the correct version of gapps for the custom rom you are currently using. If your custom rom is on android 6, you need gapps for android 6 for example.
2. after flashing gapps wipe cache/dalvik and make a factory reset BEFORE exiting twrp. You will lose personal data but since you are preparing to give the device to somebody else that should not be much of a concern.
Let me know if it helps, if it does not, I might be able to try and provide additional suggestions.
Good luck!

Hi and thanks for your reply!
1. The ROMs I've been trying to install are all android 6.0.1 and I've been trying with different OpenGApps packages for the 6.0 version which should work (except CM 12 which is android 5.1 with which I've tried OpenGApps and A-Gapps for Android 5.1).
2. Tried that with 3 different ROMs today and the results are following: Slimrom gets stuck in setupwizard which doesn't start, CM 12 starts but the same error as first seems to appear (I get notifications about GApps which stop working) and Lineage bootloops the lineage start screen.

Ok...
This is what I would do if it was my device and I was facing what you are describing. It might take some time and a little patience to do everything described here, but it might also work.
1. Usin Odin, flash latest available official rom for the device. Let it boot and complete setup.
2. Use odin and use CF autoroot to root. Again boot and complete setup.
3. Flash Twrp. Enter Twrp and flash latest flashable supersu.zip. At this time I believe is version 2.82. Again boot and let it reach your welcome screen.
4. Enter Twrp. Enter advanced wipe. Wipe everything except external SD and usb at least 3 times. Do not exit twrp.
5. Install you rom. Do not exit Twrp.
6. After installing your rom, Twrp will ask you if you want to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" but DO NOT reboot.
7. Install correct version of gapps for your custom rom (correct both android version and architecture version). Again twrp will ask you to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" and this time reboot.
See what happens. If it gets stuck, try entering twrp again and do a factory reset only, only once and reboot again.
If that fails again... I will at a loss here myself too...
I did a quick search here on xda on P5100, I am providing some links that you can take a look at. You probably already searched yourself but you never know...

If nothing else helps, perhaps the best way to go around this would be to find a custom rom with at least some google apps pre-installed, in order to save you the trouble you are currently facing.

Hey, just try uninstalling Google play services and install them again. I faced the same issue and now it's all working on my Samsung Galaxy Core 2

Stuck in TWRP (KII-L05) after wiping system. Cannot install ROMs or Sideload them

Ok, a bit of backstory:
This is the Canadian Honor 5x, also known as Huawei GR5. After finally unlocking the bootloader, I was able to flash TWRP (3.3.1-0) on it. After flashing AOSIP for it, It was working mostly fine, aside from some basic apps crashing constantly (such as download manager) so I tried to flash gapps afterwards (I know this isn't how it should be done). It started to bootloop.
Then I tried the following without success:
Flashed ROM and Gapps before rebooting; Bootloops
Flashed ROM without Gapps; Works but apps crashes and no googleplay (obviously)
Sideloaded LineageOS with gapps; Same issue as first one.
Wiped Caches and data before flashing ROM (no gapps); Same as first one but crashing apps aren't crashing anymore.
The last thing I tried landed me here: I decided to do the last item on the list but also wiped System. Now I can't install or sideload anything.
Did I shoot myself in the foot here? Is it gone for good?? I need help with this.

First, you need to be on the latest stock firmware. Before unlocking the bootloader, upgrade to marshmallow to get the marshmallow firmware. You will get issues if you don't have the marshmallow firmware as all custom ROM built on that.
AOSiP was built from LineageOs.
Also note, Important note:
Stock Firmware B360 and B370 are known to cause boot loops!
(Generally: if your stock ROM supports VoLTE it is likely that it is also affected!)
All others might work, please do not ask in here how to up- or downgrade!

Note: In case you want to use any gapps, YOU MUST install the right gapps the first time that you flash a marshmallow ROM. Do not boot with an older gapps or without one and then try to install it later.

I have indeed read this on the AOSiP thread. Although instead of repeating something I was already aware of, you could specify what is VoLTE since no matter how many time I read it I wont know what it means. If its Voice Over LTE I doubt it. I don't have LTE on my carrier.

Did you read my post? Where does it say that's what I wanna do?? I never, ever, said to either upgrade or downgrade. I want grade, period (by that I mean I want something thats working at all, regardless of version).

okay, sorry for not understanding you. You ain't a noob. So I should expect you did a clean install. Wiping Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage and System. this will give you a clean slate. And be on the latest TWRP which you already are in. If that fails, I can't help beyond that. VOLTE is Voice Over LTE. You are correct.

[F800 L/S/K ] [A9 Pie] Debloated Stock Rom

About This Rom​
This is a debloated stock rom based on stock F800K_30H. Most likely the last update the V20 will get.
Installation Procedure for F800 L/K/S​
Download the F800***.7z to a PC and extract with 7-zip app on Windows PC or the equivalent on OSX / Linux . This will expand to a single 6GB system.img file. Copy over to internal storage on your device.
Update TRWP recovery to 3.4.x.x using TWRP.
Download also the F800 boot imgage and F800K-ezv2020.zip kernel.

Boot into twrp and flash the system image.
Install>Install_Image(bottom right)>navigate to system.img file and select system image partition.
Repeat the same procedure for the boot.img, flash on boot partition.
Flash ezV2020 Kernel and then Magisk. Done.
If you are coming from Oreo download also the Pie partitions and flash that first, then as above. Also wipe data so have your apps backed up.
In the case your were already on PIE no need to wipe data but do wipe Dalvik / ART cache and Cache in TWRP before reboot. Device will be slow for a while and will speed up as Dalvik cache is rebuilt in the background. Sometimes that can take a while especially if you don't let the device rest.
==========================================================
Update Nov 2022: You now need to flash in twrp this Chrome update to pass initial setup screen after phone reset or fresh flash.
F800 - Google Drive
drive.google.com
​
Release v2
This is based on K rather than L for no good reason (new: flash the K partitions in my repo and ezv2020 K kernel), but makes no difference as all carrier apps have been deleted. This is a 'start again' version rather than an update to ver 1 and is recommended to update due to reports of better performance.
Added
QLens
V30 and G6 themes ( I like the black one with dark grey accents)
Sim unlock app (I think it's for phones locked to sim, not sure if it is or if it works)
Wap Push Service (for carrier settings sent via text msg)
Collage Wallpapers from G6 - only works on Lock Screen, dunno why, i'll try fix.
LG Smart World. You must hide it in Magisk first, then software update. Don't know how to change Korean language, sorry.
If you don't care for any of these additions delete them from /system/product/app , using a root browser
RCT (root check tool) remover has already been applied.
Known issues (minor)​
Touch screen is not responsive after coming out of Laf Download Mode at times. To recover this simply reboot into recovery and reboot. It's not that serious and doesn't occur after a normal reboot. You just need to be aware of the fix in case you experience it.
If you have any apn issues do the 'reset apn settings to default' in the apn settings menu. Cuz my carrier apn didn't show up initially.
==========================================================
After 3 flashed now your files worked. By one hour without reboot or chrash. Pie is very nice and you have super debloated the stock rom. Only calendar app Google crash. Normally i used lg calendar. Congratulations. Saturday i will test with my sim

root>system>product>priv-app
(you may be asked to grant root permission here)
Make sure you can see the LGCalendarProvider Folder is in priv-app folder, now reboot.
Google calendar is working for me now.
Thank you. I did not try mobile data but i crossflashed and can confirm that everything else works, including wifi on the H910. I'm so excited to have stock pie with root on the V20.

Great!
I did think wifi files needed to be adapted per device but this may not be for all devices. Hard for me to know which is why it is good people report back their findings, thanks. Hows bluetooth?

Bluetooth works fantanstic. Connected my portable speaker and it played smoothly, never disconnected.

Edit: F800L30H_Partitions is needed to get fingerprint working.

Thanks for that. It might be just the modem that is needed. Can you get into download mode after flashing the partitions? Be careful. That is why I said in the OP don't flash Pie Partitions on non-F800 although you may not have seen that as I added it later.
I have a zip somewhere to flash back oreo partitions. I'll upload it later.
edit: just checked my us996, fingerprint is working fine without flashing pie partitions. Please delete your edit as I don't want anyone flashing pie partitions on non-f800 devices because of the laf download problem.
I will have to figure out what exactly is going on but until then I don't support of advise anyone to flash Pie partitions on any non-F800 device.
I can get into download mode but the screen is static. Dont really care, tbh, because this is my spare phone. As long as i have stock pie and TWRP, i'm happy.

Ah good. Because there was an issue with the new Pie LG LAF (download mode) not being detected in LGUP. Experienced that myself. The danger is then if you accidentally deleted TWRP or somehow got corrupted there would be no way to ever flash the phone again and you'd be stuck with what you have. That is why I'm being extra cautions.
Note:
I still don't advise anyone to flash pie partitions on non-f800. There are so many variants it's not certain or knowable if all will be okay for all of them.
Just to confirm, for the us996 we need to flash the f800L_30H_BOOT img, oreo4pie and the f800L_30H_Debloated right?

You need to do exactly the same as you did last time. Sorry I haven't gotten around to providing instructions, I'll do it soon. The part you are missing is you need to flash the us996-ezv2020 pie kernel after you flash the f800l_boot.img. Do not flash the partitions for non-f800.

Ahh okay, thx for letting me know
Edit: So i flashed it and at first it was very stable but then it crashed to that green apps watchdog bark, i then rebooted and it crashed and showed the purple secure watchdog bite screen a couple of seconds after unlocking the phone. not sure if this is relevant but when it crashed it was downloading about 40 apps, and i was trying to log into instagram. Maybe it was just a fluke, i'll see if it happens again
Edit2: So i rebooted and everything seems fine again
Edit3: okay so it crahsed again, same thing happened, it crashed to the green watchdog bark screen although this time it went from that screen to the purple watchdog bite screen without rebooting or anything. When it crashed, i went to unlock it and it froze while i was unlocking the phone
Could this have anything to do with the fact that my phone was originally a vs995? Cuz i converted it to a us996, I noticed that there was a vs995 pie kernel, should i flash that and see if the crashes stop? I'm not too sure if it would do anything especially since i was running alpha omega oreo with your us996 oreo kernel just fine but it's worth a shot but just to be sure, for now i'll reflash the us996 kernel again and see if the crashes return
update: It worked fine for the past hour but crashed to the watchdog bite screen again, i'll try flashing the vs995 pie kernel and see if the crashes stop. Okay so i successfully flashed it, now i just have to wait and see
Update: success, 2 hours with no crashes, the vs995 pie kernel fixed my issue
T.L.D.R: I flashed the us996 kernel on my vs995 converted to a us996 which in theory should have worked but didn't, which resulted in random crashes
Although the fingerprints worked after flashing the f800 partitions on my h910, the kernel would constantly crash. So i pulled modem from my oreo dump and flashed it in TWRP. This time fingerprint stopped working but my phone hasn't crashed in hours. I also inserted a sim card to test mobile data, it did not work. However, i was able to make phone calls and send a text message. Thank you so much for this rom.

That's odd. My device is the same as yours. A vs995 crossflashed to us996. Had no issue with the us996_santa-ezV2020 kernel. Hasn't crashed once, working very well, very fast and smooth.
I have uploaded the us996 oreo partitions as a flashable zip, if you or anyone needs it. Say you want to flash back oreo easily. If staying on Pie you'd have flash back the F800 boot.img and us996 kernel.
No need to do anything yourself if it's working fine.

Yea i was also confused, especially since i was running your oreo kernel just fine with alpha omega but it worked, Either way this rom is running very smooth and fast. I also did a geekbench 5 run and to my surprise, it preforms better with a single core score of 340 and multi core of 704 compared to 286 single and 636 multicore, But anyways thx for developing this for us v20 users

You could try flashing the modem only. The pie modem, in twrp. I'd be curious to know what would happen. I have just uploaded it. Worth a try. The fingerprint for some reason uses files in the modem partition. Why there are there I don't know.
Be advised everyone all this mixing and matching pie with oreo may result in unforeseeable negatives. We can only know what works by trial and error. And, your welcome!

You didn't get the us996Santa oreo and Pie us996Santa kernels mixed up did you? That would defiantly cause a crash if you put Oreo kernel on Pie. I think the vs995 and us996 kernels are interchangeable anyway. Little difference between some of them.
I don't bother with the benchmarks myself, I can just tell by the fluidity of the device if it's better! Not surprised by the results given what I'm experiencing.

Yea i double checked, i flashed the us996 pie kernel twice actually, but had the same results
Okay so before i added anything, i tried to open the alexa app again, this time it worked fine and didn't cause my phone to crash, so this time i'm going to open a lot of apps and see if that will trigger the crash
Edit: nope, that did not cause it to crash either, i have no idea what's causing the crashes, maybe it has something to do with the cache because i remember when i tried rebooting after the second crash, it was stuck at the boot animation, it only rebooted after i cleared delvik and cache. Maybe the cache is getting corrupted after a while?
Update: Phone has been running fine for 1 day
Update2: Phone crashed this morning while scrolling to instagram, these crashes seem to be happening at random. Only thing the crashes have in common is that it would happen roughly every 20 hours to a day. Sometimes if i'm unlucky it just repeatedly crashes after a couple of reboots
Update3: Okay yea theres something funny going on with the cache because, i went to the gallery to look at some videos that i know would play but when i tried to play them it kept saying something went wrong, tried a reboot but still the same result. and when i'd watch videos on instagram they looked corrupted, tried force stopping and clearing the cache but still the same result. reboot didn't help either, only thing that fixed those issues was clearing the cache and delvik in twrp
Update: So i have found a temporary solution which is to clear the cache and delvik every once in a while
Idk if this is relevant but what did you come from before flashing this cuz i came from oreo so idk if that could have anything to do with the issue
