Current Events
Dodo released! This means this ROM is now extinct. Sorry! If links below fail, try this one!
OTA is in Beta. Will be included in CM 13 release once both are stable. OTA will be available before full-sized versions due to the testing process (updates are tested first).
SnapChat will not work without some help. This is entirely SnapChat's fault for trying to control your device. Please read this thread before flashing and how you can make it work. Or just open Xposed installer, install Snapprefs and reboot.
Introduction
Welcome to the fastest and most stable ROM for your OnePlus. This thread is mainly a support thread for Jgcaap's awesome work, allowing him to spend more time working on "M" and less time answering questions. His latest builds will be tested by me, hand selected for stability, and the best of the crop will be repackaged, enhanced, and placed here. If you are new to this ROM, check the screen shots for benchmark results and battery life screenshots. Be amazed, then download the ROM and be even more amazed! Smooth as glass and flows like water! As one person has said, "Disgustingly Fast!"
Please read this entire post! Check back often for updates. Also, current jgcaap users will get additional information and tips that can be useful. Check out all the links! And if you want to try some Bacon wrapped Marshmallow, click the bent arrow in the Announcement's line.
Wildlife
Each ROM will be named by an animal, starting at A for Aardvark. A picture of the animal will be placed here so you can see at a glance which release is current. The original jgcaap ROMs often have multiple releases in a single day, and every country has a different date format, so the animal names will allow us to represent specific "official" releases with memorable names.

Features & Changes
The ROM gets repackaged so that new users don't have to go about tracking down which files they need and which order to flash things. The firmware is included and everything is set and ready to go. For legal reasons, just add your own GApps and go. This ROM currently has the following feature's prepackaged and already included with the ROM ...
SuperSU (pre roooted)
Xposed (special jgcaap version)
Moab Ad Blocker
--- ZooKeeper can configure this!
ColorOS Camera
--- with manual focus option
Viper (Audio Eargasm)
Dolby ATMOS! (Dodo+)
Send Reduced (send small pics)
CatLog (for bug reports)
Show On Lockscreen (wallpaper)
OmniSwitcher (optional)
Init.d Support (Badger+)
Governor: blu-active (Badger+)
Low call volume fix
OTA Support (coming soon!)
Support, Questions, Feature Requests and Bugs
Please report all bugs for CM12.1/Lollipop based Jgcaap ROMs to this thread. Even if you didn't download one of the Wildlife pre-packaged ROM sets! Feel free to ask questions. This thread will have the same warm inviting atmosphere that jgcaap's development thread has always had. Newb-friendly and all are welcome!
Getting Started
There will be two ROM images available. The update packages will be designed with a smaller download size with only the files that have actually been changed. The installer will not remove things you have added nor re-install programs you have removed. If you are already using a WildLife ROM, use the Update packages to upgrade. This does not apply to full versions. The full versions should be clean flashed.
The next post will have Step-by-Step instructions telling you exactly what you need to do and how to go about flashing your phone or upgrading. The post after that will have all the tips and tricks for maximum tweaker power. Finally, we'll have instructions on how to rescue your phone when something goes wrong.

Flashing WildLife
Flashing Instructions - Full ROM
Step 1 - Backup
If you don't have a backup program, you can grab a really fast and free one, Backup+. XDA Forum | My Mirror - Direct Download. Be sure you keep the APK on your Internal Storage so you can install it easily and restore the rest of your apps. Also, I strongly recommend you copy your internal storage (or at least the backup directory) onto a PC, a harddrive, a flash drive, or cloud storage such as Google Drive. Get it off your phone and make it safe.
Step 2 - Boot into Recovery
Even if your reboot menu doesn't have a Recovery option, you can always just hold down the Volume Down button when your phone boots and you're good. I recommend Philz Recovery from this XDA thread or you can download the exact ZIP I use.
Step 3 - Wipe Carefully
This step is what is known as a "clean flash". Do not perform this step if you are flashing an upgrade or addition. If this is the first time you've flashed this ROM, you want the full version and you want to do it cleanly. Failure to clean flash leads to odd problems. For example, Agent stopped reading my calendar, or my Camera plugins would start to disappear.
You do not want to do a Factory wipe or anything like that or you'll lose all your data. Do not format /data. Here's where it gets confusing. Many recovery systems treat /data and Internal Storage as if they were separate partitions, but they are not. Your internal storage is on the same partition as /data. If you are from Windows, image your /system is your C: drive, and /data (where your apps are at) and your internal storage are both on D:. Your recovery has a specific wipe designed to safely wipe /data without wiping out your internal storage by erase directories individually, yet automatically.
Philz makes this simple and direct. Select Wipe and Format Options, then select Clean to Install a New ROM. Confirm the wipe, and you are ready to go.
Step 4 - Flash the ZIP
This is pretty easy. Select the option to flash it, find it on your device, and away it goes. If you downloaded the file to your PC (or wiped your internal storage and now have no files on your phone), you can use the "sideload" option you see in the menu. Just plug in a USB cable and type: adb sideload Aardvark.zip This does require that you have adb drivers set up on your PC, but you needed that to unlock your bootloader, right? More tips like this in a later post!
Step 5 - Flash your Gapps
The most important part of Gapps is making sure its for Lollipop. The more up to date, the better. You should download the smallest GApps that fits your needs, just so you don't have to download so much. You can specifically control which Gapps are installed with a config file. Just drop the gapps-config.txt into the same directory as your gapps ZIP file. This file can even delete crufty Cyanogen apps that you don't need or want (you have better ones from Play store right?) and reduce bloat considerably.
About the Gapps Config | OpenGapps is the recommended Gapps package | Newer Sources for Gapps | My gapps-config.txt ... note: you might not want to use my config unless you want almost all your Cyanogen apps to go away. When the system comes up, you won't have a file manager to install Backup+. I install it with "adb install BackupPlus.apk" or if its on the phone, you can log in with adb shell and then install with pm install $PWD/BackupPlus.apk
TIP: If you have Chrome installed from Gapps, you can open it and type "file:///sdcard" in the URL window and then select your Backup+ or Titanium Backup APK to install it. Be sure you have "Install from unknown sources" turned on. Now you can restore your good File Manager (like FX File Manager mentioned in Post #5) from your Backup and don't need Cyanogen's!
NOTE: If you have trouble with OpenGapps, then you can try my stable mirror or SlimGapps (which is now recommended by jgcaap, but I've not tried it myself yet ... but expect it to be the new recommended after I run it through the paces).
Step 6 - Reboot your Phone
After flashing, the first time your phone comes up, its going to optimize itself and you should expect it to take awhile. Don't panic, and wait a few minutes. I refuse the CyanogenMod account (you already have a Google one, and Cyanogen doesn't offer anything extra and defintely do NOT send bug reports or analytics to Cyanogen!). I also go into Settings, About Phone, tap the Build Number like a mad monkey to turn on Developer options, and from there, I enable the Reboot Menu, Fast Boot, Cut the animations down to below 0.5, and turn on ADB since I'll be installing Backup+ over ADB.
Step 7 - Restore your Backup
Use your file manager (or ADB) to install your backup program and then restore the rest of the apps from your backup. I keep my Wifi off so that Google Play won't freak out and try upgrading stuff while its restoring. Do not use ROM Settings Backups to try to move settings from one ROM to another (thats what Update files are for). You can usually restore your Desktop with Backup+ by restoring the data for Trebuchet if you formerly used another Cyanogen release. The next reboot I go to Play Store and upgrade any apps that need it.
Step 8 - Final Config / Updates
I haven't found a perfect way to back up Trebuchet and my desktop ... but Backup+'s system backup tool (paid feature) can be used to restore the Trebuchet data, which gets everything but the widgets. If you use OmniSwitcher, just turn it on. If you use Xposed, it should already be working and active. If you don't use Xposed, jgcaap's version won't slow down your phone or cause glitches. However, if you really don't want it on your phone, you can flash this to deinstall it and can reinstall it without flashing the whole ROM by flashing this file.
MaxxAudio is gone ... use Viper. Set it to Super Audio Quality and reboot when it says to (Aardvark only, no reboot required for Badger and above). More about Viper here. I strongly recommend reading as there are a lot of optional add-ons (convolvers and such for emulating other tones and systems) but many of these will use significant battery power. I don't even use it for the built-in speaker. You can control it per output device, and have different profiles, such as if you have multiple pairs of headphones or different USB Audio devices.
Please Donate to the developers when you use an app. It is only through your support that you get to use high quality apps. This ROM has ads blocked, so developers of free apps will go poor and hungry since they won't be getting any revenue from your ad clicks!
Flashing Instructions - Updates
An update is a slimmed down version without any apps (unless they've been updated), no firmware, no media files, etc. And it avoids flashing over files you may have changed or deinstalled, like the hosts file or various bundled apps. It doesn't touch your settings, you don't need to wipe anything, and it just upgrades in-place. All you need to do is Steps 2 and 4 and 6!! Updates are clearly labelled. Never wipe your phone when installing an update! No OTA yet.
Tweaking
Tweaking, Trimming and Theming
Kernel
There is a UKM for jgcaap's kernel which is in the download area. You'll need Synapse from Play store to use it. I don't recommend tweaking the kernel, but if you want the option it is there. Just download the ZIP, flash it in recovery, and you can start tweaking some kernel parameters! Personally, I use 3C Android Tuner (see below) because it can tune more than just the kernel, but you might find something UKM does that 3C doesn't. As as Badger, you can use the init.d script option for restoring settings imposed by kernel tweakers.,
Governor
Your governor controlls when your CPU is at full blast, when it throttles down, and how quickly it changes and by how much. This will affect battery and performance (and "lag") considerably. As of Badger, the default CPU governor is "blu_active". You won't need to ever change to "Performance" mode to squeeze out more power, its runs even more fluid than before, and battery life is as good as ever. There are a couple ways to select the governor. The one I use is 3C (below). The only source of lag is memory. If you run out and Android has to swap stuff out, there will be a noticeable delay. If you rarely get lag, but get it rather severely, I bet its when you have 20 apps open and a million installed with their own background services and content providers! Suddenly the OOM (Out Of Memory) killer attacks and your phone stops for a second or two. I'm testing a possible solution, but everyone's phone is different.
CPU Temp
How hot does your CPU get? If you run Cardboard like me, you might be concerned. If you have to switch to an app to find out, then your CPU will have already cooled by the time you see the temp. This CPUTemp App displays an overlay anywhere you want that will show you your exact temperature. It can also save the data and give you in-depth graphs of CPU speed, load, and temperature. Alternately, you can just use this Xposed module to always show the CPU temperature in your status bar. (WARNING: I've not tested this Xposed module myself).
Xposed
Wildlife already has Xposed installed. If you have heard of requirements that your ROM must be deodexed or odex or and that you will have compatibility issues or slowdown, the current news is that the latest Xposed works on odexed ROMs and jgcaap has personally blessed some modifications to increase speed and compatibility with this ROM, and final result is packed into Wildlife. However, until you install some Xposed modules, it lies dormant. Fire up the Xposed Installer and you can start searching for tools to tweak how your phone looks, how it acts, how it sounds, and tweak some more battery life. Once you install a module, activate it, and then reboot.
Please be aware that not all Xposed modules are compatible with Lollipop and not all modules are created equal. I have heard mixed reports on GravityBox in particular. If for some reason your phone gets horribly confused and won't boot because of some Xposed module you have installed, or if you just hate the idea of having Xposed and want it gone. There is a solution! Flash this Xposed Uninstaller and if you flash this and want Xposed to come back, just Flash Jgcaap's modified v75 Xposed framework.
Ones I use are the 3C Toolbox helper, Clarity (makes your contacts in better definition), No Device Check (privacy), RootCloak (hides root), Smart Network (auto switches between 3G and LTE to conserve battery).
3C ToolBox
If you like tweaking, this toolbox has a little bit of everything. You can view logs, including last kernel boot log (the one that ran before you crashed), open a terminal, set a firewall, change CPU and GPU governors, disable services, remove programs from the start-up list, change network congestion control ... the list goes on and on!
Here is the XDA thread (with download links) for this tweaker's toolbox.
Battery Extensions
The first step to checking battery problems is Wakelock Detector and Better Battery Stats. These tools will tell you where your juice is going. If an app is holding a wakelock, ditch the app or alert the developer. Once you see what is chewing the most battery you can launch an assault on it with these tools:
Xposed Modules - Again, I'm going to defer to an expert source, @V7 's Extreme Battery Life Thread for all the goodies on PowerNap, Greenify, Amplify, and all the others that you've heard about.
Underclocking - I simply do NOT recommend this. Why? Well I checked Better Battery Stats! And my CPU had only been at full speed for 6% of the time. The next speed was under 2Ghz. So, is it worth slowing down your phone by 20% in order to achieve an overall savings of about 1.2% battery? The reason for this is that your system has what's called a governor that predicts how much CPU you need at any given moment and adjusts accordingly. This means you only use max CPU when you need it! If you underclock, then you are slowing down your phone when you need it most. You might even waste more battery because you'll be keeping your screen on longer waiting for your phone to finish!
Undervolting - I don't like this idea either. Basically, the voltage is how much strength it takes to open the transistor gates, like little doors. When your CPU gets busy, the voltage can fluctuate by small amounts, and if you undervolt your CPU, you can occasionally get a gate that doesn't open, and your get a CPU doing really crazy things and some app with crash or your whole system will crash. Generally, higher speeds require higher voltage to keep your CPU stable, and less voltage at lower speeds. Imagine trying to open and shut a door really fast ... you'll need more force than just shutting the door gently.
Can I get 9hrs SOT? - Sure! See the screen shot, but here's the secret. WASTE battery power! If you have a flip-case, remove it. Take your screen timer and set it REALLY high and don't turn off your screen. Let it BURN! This will ensure that your screen is on for a really long time. Cheating? Well, yes and no. The point is that someone who is chatting on their phone over Wifi and rarely touches it, but leave the screen on while doing so will get great SOT. The guy streaming Bluetooth audio all day long and has their phone tethered to use LTE internet with a low signal will waste tons of battery and may not have the screen on at all. The 9hr screen on time was done while doing all the above, plus some web browsing using ....
Ultimate Browser - This browser is said to use less battery than Chrome and others. You can check it out and see for yourself on The Ultimate Browser XDA thread.
Themes
Many people ask about the themes pictured in the screenshots. This is the Deep Darkness Overhauled Theme but with the thinner fonts from Cosmos CM12. Just select which parts of each theme you like before clicking the Update button.
I'm now using an Add-On package for this theme that gives icons that aren't so dark. It has a cool font, too, but I don't know if I like the Cosmos or Deep Darkness Add-On better. I'm also using a compromise between the 400 DPI (real) and 480 DPI (stock) of 440 DPI. This still gives me 5 icons wide on the home screens without throwing off apps that expect stock DPI (much).

Recommended Apps
Please note that these are some of the best of the best, and most of them are not free!
Email - [email protected] Mail This is a fork of K-9, which is the Android Mutt (from Dr Who) .. mutt being a classic Unix mail program. I love Dr Who, but [email protected] was such a big improvement, I had to go with it. If you need full folder support, multiple accounts, and support for email cryptographic signing and encryption, multiple identities, and html editing of email and html signatures!
Music Player - PowerAmp - this is by the best music player I've used, bar none. If you don't want it messing with your custom lockscreen wallpaper, you can tell it not to, or add a whole second/custom lockscreen over the original. It has its own EQ, but I don't need it with Viper. To make PowerAmp compatible with Viper, simply turn off the direct volume control. You can use Xposed to add more volume steps if you like the extra control that PowerAmp's default has.
Video Player - VLC Video Lan Client Plays everything, does everything, streams videos, and has remote control apps to connect to other VLCs anywhere on your network.
QuickPic - QuickPic is a replacement for the stock Cyanogen Gallery. It works and acts much the same only its much much faster. Another good choice is Piktures, but new users may find it a bit more complicated, and it doesn't seem to be nearly as fast.
Agent - While much of what Agent does can be duplicated with other tools, the ease of use and flexibility of this tool can't be beat. It monitors your calendar for meetings and silences your phone, knows when you are driving and responds to your texts (and/or reads them to you), detects when your sleeping and makes your phone quiet (even if you sleep at different times). Has a battery saver mode, and can even remember where you parked. The Meeting agent works best if your calendar supports the "Busy" flag, which Google removed about a year ago, so ...
Today Calendar - The Today Calendar is just a really beautiful app and has some nice widgets (although I just use cLock from Cyanogen to show my calendar and make appointments via Voice commands, so I don't see Today much, I still bought it). It has the Busy flag and all sorts of features. If you want one a little less flashy (and free), try Boxer Calendar.
File Manager - The FX File Manager is by far the greatest file manager. It has everything built in, including SMB to network with Windows and SFTP to network with any machines running SSH. App Management, Media Refresh, and nice clean material design! Bloat free!
FXR Wifi Repair - Get this app and install it NOW! You will thank me the day you end up needing it!

Don't know if 10/30 needs deodex or not but if its before jgcaaps hacks you'll need the older Xposed. I have it and Ill upload it for you to my site (Eddon Systems Download Page ... link in first post). Viper is already there (look for LolliViper).
If you don't mind taking the time to do a clean flash, Aardvark is based on the 11/08 build with the Apple code. All works out of the box Dirty flash possible, but can lead to weird problems.
I'll upload Xposed v75 right now
More about me at https://eddon.systems
Ok so it is possible to run odexed version and have Xposed working? I've heard that I need deodexed version for exposed that's why I'm on 20151030.
Thanks a lot for fast response!

Deodex and Xposed
The newer builds are made in such a way that you can use them with Odex builds without problems. We even have a special "Hacked" version of Xposed that prevents the possible slowdown issues and bypassing jgcaap's ART improvements.
So yes, use Odex and new builds and preferably the "Hacked ZIP" for the framework, although normal v75 still works. Or flash Aardvark. I've got maybe a dozen Xposed modules active.
The reason you don't see newer Deodex is because they aren't needed anymore

It varies based on date and jgcaap's whim. The 11/08 builds do. I don't think any deodex builds do because he stopped making those before the Apple assembler code experiments.
Since 11/08 has it, Aardvark has it.
Bionic isn't a ROM build, its the Android low level C library to which the Apple code is being added.

Actually, I put your name in as a contributor (and obviously @jgcaap) which gives you a lot more access. That way, if I'm hit by a bus tomorrow, other people can step in (its the admin in me). You might be able to edit the project page and initial reserved posts yourself.
My routed here is getting old so I'm doing a reflash and adding a captive portal to disconnect people when there isn't a human body using it. I need to cut down on everyone's bandwidth usage. So ... gonna be a busy night.

Hi,thanks for this thread. I've downloaded aardvark but for the backup+ download from : https://eddon.systems/Download/Backup+_Beta_1_R2.apk I get a 403 forbidden.

I am going to download your rom and test it in a couple of days
Wysłane z mojego A0001 przy użyciu Tapatalka
Well this came around at a perfect time! I haven't been actively flashing my phone much this year and my current ROM is from July 5th lol. So I'm not really new, but could use something pre made like this. Reading, backing up, and downloading this afternoon, then flash later tonight. Thanks for putting this up.
Is the rom ok to flash on system/data/cache on f2fs ?
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.
**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!
**Built-in DNS Ad-blocking
**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: v5.5
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.

Yea I'll add something to the OP tomorrow.
You can flash this without any other steps. Just copy to phone, boot to TWRP, flash. Everything else is taken care of.

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?
Hey guys, I will be going over how to decrease idle and screen on drain by blocking wakelocks and tweaking the kernel using EX Kernel Manager, this guide aims to increase SOT time.
I will be applying all of the tweaks on my own Nexus 6P, and report back with screenshots and statistics.
English isn't my primary language so sorry in advance for any faults.
Also mind that I only posted the thread already so I can work on it at different times because I have school and work.
I'm primarily creating this guide to not having to look up the to blocking wakelocks and tweaks, but just having one guide instead of so many when i flash another rom or lose all my data.
So let's start!
Setup
1: I suggest flashing this 8.0 Oreo rom from here
2: Convert your data and cache to F2FS with TWRP from flash's site here
3: For the kernel I would pick Flash's kernel here
4: Flash Magisk 14.0 here
5: Install the Magisk manager app, EX kernel Manager app and the Wakeblock app to block the wakeblocks.
6: Launch the Wakeblock app and install the core mod
7: Reboot!
8: When dirtyflashing wipe cache and dalvik cache

About PpPmod
PpPmod is a port of the excellent xXx NoLimits magisk ROM for Oxygen OS. It's a systemless modification to the default Realme UI that allows the user to get much more out of his device than the default configuration allows.
But why a magisk ROM?
For two reasons:
1. Realme devices offer good price to performance ratio, but in many cases they lack a developer community around them to build those ROMs the users want.
2. Realme UI is not that bad honestly. It offers good performance, it's not too crazy aesthetically and its bloatware isn't baked deep into the system.
It's also a much safer way to modify Mediatek devices. As long as you've managed to root your phone, you are good to go. If something goes wrong, just wipe data and no harm, no foul.
Supported devices
While in theory, any Realme device with Realme UI v1, Android 10 and a full HD screen resolution should be compatible, the only two devices this has been tested on are a Realme 6 and a Realme 6 Pro. For the curious, i own the later.
Ok, but what does it do?
- Port of xXx NoLimits for Oxygen OS
- Fully systemless Realme UI ROM mod for magisk
- Designed to work with all phones that run RealmeUI v1, Android 10 on full HD screens, including MTK ones
- Fully configurable installation, every component is optional
- Includes comprehensive debloating options
- Optional build.prop tweaks
- Many kernel tweaks that can be adjusted and combined, in order to target different degrees of performance and battery life
- 90hz/120hz for ALL apps when the display is set to its high refresh rate
- GMS Doze included
- Ability to disable analytics
- Ability to disable wakelocks
- Can enable full screen gestures (swipe up) for 3rd party launchers
- Ability to set custom bootanimations from a built in list, or as a user selected bootanimation.zip
- Includes extra launchers, sounds and icons from popular device brands like Pixel and OnePlus
- Gcams for both Qualcomm and Mediatek devices are included (by Urnyx and onFire)
- Youtube Vanced, detached from the playstore so no pesky updates can override it
- Google Dialer and Contacts, both old and new versions
- Custom density modes
- Ability to systemize apps
In order to set your own bootanimation, place a bootanimation.zip inside /sdcard/PpPmod. You can also place a shutdown/restart animation named rbootanimation.zip there. Make sure that your bootanimations are 1080 pixels in width, or they won't work as you'd expect. If you set option CustomBootAnimation to 1 in PpP.profile, your animations will be used during start up and/or reboot, instead of the default ones. For more information about the PpPmod folder and the PpP.profile file go to Installation Instructions.
If you want to systemize an app for whatever reason, just place the apk inside /sdcard/PpPmod/apps., before flashing.
Concerning debloating there is a master switch you should toggle if you want your individual options to work. Set IndividualDebloatSelection to 1.

Reworked CPUInputBoost option to make it more granular. You can now select from small, medium, high and max presets. For more info about them read the profile description.
Reworked CPUStuneBoost option to make it more granular. You can now select from small, medium, high and extreme presets. For more info about them read the profile description.
Installation
PpPmod allows for a fully customizable installation. The way this works is via a configuration file called PpP.profile. You will always be able to find the latest version of this file on this post. Make sure you edit this file on Notepad++ if you are opening it on Windows in order to preserve the Unix EOL format.
Requirements:
Realme UI v1 on Android 10 and display width of 1080 pixels
A working Magisk installation of v20.4 or higher
PpPmod should only be flashed via Magisk Manager
First time installation:
Place PpP.profile in /sdcard/PpPmod/ and edit it to personalize the installation to your liking
Flash the PpPmod zip via Magisk Manager
Reboot. Wait for at least a minute to let all installation options take effect.
Done
The first time you install, chances are that the PpPmod folder will not be in /sdcard, so you have to create it yourself. If you don't place PpP.profile there, the mod will be installed with the default options when you flash it and place the default PpP.profile inside /sdcard/PpPmod/.
Update to a newer version:
Open Magisk Manager and uninstall the previous version
Reboot
Wait for a couple of minutes after reboot as the uninstallation process can take some time
Install the newer version via Magisk Manager. Don't worry about changes to PpP.profile, they will be merged to your older version profile
Reboot. Wait for at least a minute to let all installation options take effect
Done
Uninstallation:
Press the waste bin icon next to the mod's name on the Magisk Manager
Reboot. Wait for a couple of minutes after reboot as the uninstallation process can take some time
Done
Downloads:
PpPmod v1.1
PpP.profile v2

FAQ
Q: I just installed PpPmod and my phone has heated up and stutters, is this normal?
A: Yes, the installation process is fairly intense, and during the first boot following the installation, a lot of stuff happens in the background. Just let your phone settle for 10 minutes and it should be fine.
Q: I did all that and my phone still heats up, you liar!
A: Well, check your settings. PpPmod offers many options for tweaking, but not every one of them is suitable for all phones, or all usage patterns. In general, the higher performance settings may be fine for general usage and offer you a flagship like experience along with a high refresh rate, but will cause excessive heat and throttling during gaming.
For example, maybe a 12nm chipset shouldn't be pushed aggressively by enabling CPU boost options, especially if you game alot. You may gain a brief performance boost that will sooner or later be the cause of intense overheating, which will cause throttling, which will cause stutters. In short, try to be reasonable with your settings and expectations, PpPmod will not magically turn your mid range chipset into an SD865.
PpPmod is also not designed to work along with other magisk mods that adjust performance by altering kernel behavior. If you want to use such mods with it, try disabling every PpPmod performance setting, like:
KernelTweaks
LMK_RAM_Management
ReadAhead
DisablePeWq
DisableHotplugging
IncreaseMinGPUFreq
CPUGovernorTweaks
CPUStuneBoost
CPUInputBoost
The result may still not be ideal, but this is your best bet.
Q: My debloating options aren't working!
A: You forgot to set option IndividualDebloatSelection to 1.
Q: I think i found a bug, what is the best way to report it?
A: You should always include a detailed description of what triggers the bug, its effects, your specific phone model (including hardware characteristics like RAM and storage), firmware version, your PpP.profile and preferably a logcat from when the bug occurred.
Q: Can i be a beta tester? I swear i am awesome!
A: As long as you meet certain conditions, sure! The conditions are:
First and foremost, you must understand that beta testing doesn't mean early access. Most of the time you will have to do things that may be inconvenience you, or lead to loss of time and data (factory resets)
You should know at the very least how to setup and use adb
You should have A realme device with Android 10 and Realme UI v1
Q: Can i ask for a feature?
A: Sure, but keep in mind that PpPmod isn't primarily geared towards a specific device. So while device specific features are not out of the question, priority will be given to features that affect a range of devices.
Q: My phone isn't listed in supported devices, but it's a Realme device with Realme UI v1, Android 10 and a full HD resolution, should i give this a try?
A: Yes, as long as you don't mind resetting your data if something goes wrong, you should. That's exactly what i am trying to achieve with this mod. Normally, a new phone like for example the Realme X7 Pro would not have any options for customization on release, and may never get much due to the Mediatek soc. But PpPmod should work immediately, at least in theory. Even if there are some device specific issues i will do my best to fix them, and in the worst case scenario the phone is still safe from any permanent harm. Just reboot to recovery and reset data.
Q: PpPmod sucks and i wanna uninstall it. Must i also remove magisk?
A: NO, you don't have to and in fact you shouldn't if you don't have a reason unrelated to PpPmod, as magisk resides in your boot partition and thus unlike PpPmod, can mess with your device if you aren't careful.
Q: What does PpP mean?
A: No one knows fo sure. Some thik that it means Pro Plus Prime. Some other, less charitable persons claim it means PapaPowah instead. We may never know the truth.
Q: What do you plan for your next project?
A: Rewriting Android in Objective Cobol
Q: Is it true that you are actually a boomer?
A: Ok, that's enough. You guys have crossed the line and now i am forced to conclude this QA session.

Good job dude
Does it work for RMX2001 Realme 6(india). I would assume it does as mentioned in OP. however, i would just like to confirm. don't want to brick my new phone.

Yes, it works. But the whole point of a systemless mod is that you CAN'T brick your phone. Worst case you will just have to wipe data via recovery.
great job but will it work for eu version to (rmx2001)
we are unable to unlock bootloader with deeptesting.apk and nobody seems to care..

I am sorry to hear that about the EU version. I thought that this would have been resolved by now. Unfortunately this is a magisk mod, thus it doesn't work without magisk.
Even after making changes in PpP.profile I'm getting default settings

You have to make the changes and save them before flashing the mod. Meaning that if the mod is already flashed and you make changes to PpP.profile, you have to remove the mod and reinstall it in order to get the new settings.

Can u give some SS??
I bricked my phone...
Yep, title says it all.
It was supposed to be systemless though right?
So what happened was, I successfully rooted the phone, installed magisk using the manager, download both the profile and the mod itself. 1st installed the mod using magisk without the profile installed, got some bugs like green screen on viewfinder, default camera app though so i thought the problem lies within the profile settings so... uninstalled then installed 2nd with the profile on. Still got green screens, videos goes green as well, and UI restarts when I try to access stock launcher widgets. So i decided I'd uninstall the mod and magisk as well, and so i did. Restarted on each uninstall, and gave time as instructed. After magisk I got stuck on boot. Only access is to recovery and I can't seem to find any SP flash tool options like other mediatek devices have. 1st time on a realme phone as well. Any thoughts on where I actually fd up?
Edit: Tried wiping data but to no avail. (wipe and format)

The mod is indeed systemless, but magisk isn't. If you'd asked for help before attempting to uninstall magisk (for no reason i might add), i would have explained that the module files can be found in /data/adb/modules/RealmeUI_PpP_mod and you can remove them manually if you have issues. But removing magisk on mediatek does mess with boot partition so it can brick your phone. Fortunately for you, if you can enter fastboot mode you are not truly bricked yet. What i am assuming happened is that your boot.img was restored to the factory one but vbmeta (which i am assuming you also replaced with a patched one in order to root your device) wasn't. Be extra careful with what you do from now on as you can really brick your device. I would suggest downloading the exact rom version you have installed on your phone, extracting the boot and vbmeta images and flashing them via fastboot. If you are not experienced with this kind of stuff you should download telegram and seek help in the Realme 6 community there.

First of all, thanks a lot for replying. Really cleared everything out.
HAHAHA YEAH there was no reason to uninstall magisk at all, wonder why i actually did that. For science I guess?
And so I have the vbmeta and boot img from the B.45 patch, i can get to recovery and i connected my phone to my pc the only problem is i can't seem to authorize my phone for adb. (RSA Key prompt doesnt happen on recovery), any other way to get to fastboot?
EDIT: THERE WAS! (assuming that download mode is fastboot) I kept pressing the version at the bottom of the screen on recovery and it showed a prompt to go to download mode. Unfortunately though, can't seem to access it. It just automatically restarts on REALME boot.

I did the same mistak. Howevre here is a solution.
If you have sd card, download latest ozip file from realme wessbite and place in root of sd card. Then insert it into your realme 6 and boot into recovery using power and vol down. After that install zip from total storage and install from sd card. Hopefullt it will be back.
On an another note there shall be some key combo for booting into fastboot mode
Yes, you can install via recovery if you can push the ozip to /sdcard. But when the boot or vbmeta imgs are modified sometimes the installation fails. Hopefully it will work for @fraillesgeon.
As for PpPmod, i would appreciate if you guys could report the specific bugs you encountered and provide me with your PpP.profile settings. I cannot improve this for Realme 6 without your help as i don't own the device. I do have a few beta testers but sometimes they will miss stuff, it's only natural.
I'm back!

Well I've been doing it for days, it seems I was just using a broken sdcard and when it patches it fails, I thought that the phone was totally broken though lols. Well I'm back and installing PpPMod now.
And during my desperate attempt to fix the phone, I was searching for solutions, and found out that the camera problem and reboots was from a buggy boot and vbmeta img in the flash tool I used (the one posted and is now updated with a new one).
well that's that, I'll check the mod up for bugs and hope it helps as much as you helped me fatherjony, Thanks alot!
Can you do the step by step process on how to flash it using magisk?

Great news! I am really glad you were able to save your phone. As a rule, only use internal storage (/sdcard) for important operations.
I am looking forward to your impressions!

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.

-Google Play Store
-Google Assistant
-Audio (input all three mics, & output)
-Display (with image retention fix & tweaked KCAL settings for optimal color)

-Camera (Camera improvement tweaks)
-GPS (USA gps fix by default & other countries optional) link
-Fingerprint
-DAC (24_BIT_Deep_Buffers_Enabler v4.2 force true 24 bit audio at 44.1 kHz) & (System wide Quad DAC support. V6.2)
-Radio (VoLTE & Wifi Calling only tested on H910 with AT&T)
-Wifi (dual channel bonding on 2.4GHz + speed tweaks)
-Thermal Throttling (70c default max temp) link
-Video output via hdmi
-DRM Widevine L1
What does not work?

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
24_BIT_Deep_Buffers_Enabler_v4.1_Lgv20_Oreo
DAC_Enabler+LGMusic_v1.3
Speed_Mod_Lgv20_msm8996_Oreo_v5.4
Thermal_Engine_Mod_v7.0_70c
System wide Quad DAC support. V6.2 in build.prop file
What's included in v8.3

System wide Quad DAC support. V6.2 in build.prop file
You can always just flash the version of the mod you want. Theses are just what's included.
You can update if you want, it's always best to do a full reinstall. Update instructions are down below.
v9.2 & v8.2
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.

I had issues running the H910 v20H rom, my phone would crash after a day or two. With the v20G rom, my max uptime was 31 days.
Good idea to reinstall your EFS to get cell signal woking. Under "Is there a guide I can root my Lgv20 with Dirtysanta?" You only need to do this once.
You can DeGoogle at any time, if you want. Under "I want to DeGoogle after Auto_Debloat, can I do that?"

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.

Help I updated to Magisk 26.1 now Magisk will not load?
This is a problem with the app not Magisk it's self. Just uninstall the Magisk app and install the latest working version of the Magisk app.
Magisk-v24.3.apk
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.
Security PIN not working, or I forgot my PIN to login.
This can happen if you are restoring a twrp backup. Just delete your pin & set it back up again.

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.
BatteryBot Pro "Battery monitoring tool"
Can I see some benchmarks for Auto_Debloat v9.67 & v8.67?
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
System Image
Data
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.

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
