[rom] lineage os 15.0 android 8.0 - LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion

DESCLAIMER
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards or
thermonuclear war.
WARNING
This rom is quite stable, but with a red glitch in the corner offline the screen and also bug sometimes.
This rom have all the feature of android Oreo in stable versione.
MOD EDIT: Link removed
Credits
Rashed​

First off this MUST be marked unofficial
Second you are not the builder of these do you have @Rashed97 permission to post
Lastly the red flash is because these are eng builds for debugging not public use

Posting the work of others before it has been released by them is a despicable act. It is the sole reason why so many ROM teams have left XDA.
Do NOT post the work of others just to be a 'me first' thanks hoarder. As per the Forum Rules:
12. Sharing
XDA-Developers is based on the principle of sharing to transmit knowledge. This is the cornerstone of our site. Our members and developers freely share their experience, knowledge, and finished works with the rest of the community to promote growth within the developer community, and to encourage those still learning to become better. There are those, however, who take advantage of this model and try to make personal gains from the hard work of others.
In order to preserve the delicate balance between sharing for the good of the community and blatant self-promotion, regular members and developers alike must understand (and agree) to the following:
12.1. Give credits where due - Credits and acknowledgements for using and releasing work which is based on someone else's work are an absolute must. Works reported to have no credits will be taken down until proper acknowledgements are added by the member in question;
12.2. Courtesy - While most of the work released on our site falls under the umbrella of open source, that is not the only license model being used by developers on xda-developers. In order to prevent problems, we ask that if you decide to base your work on someone else's that you check the license model being used (as it might not be as permissive as one may think);
12.3. Re-releasing other's works as your own is forbidden. The code that you release into the wild must have something beyond minor aesthetic changes that makes it better than the last. As this can be subjective, kang reports will be reviewed on a case by case basis. If you feel that your code has been kanged, please contact the Dev Relations team (listed below) if you cannot solve the issue amicably via PM. Please understand that you will be asked to provide evidence to substantiate your claim;
12.4. Developers can issue take down requests (by contacting the Dev Relations team) under the following circumstances:
- in-process builds start showing up on forums when the developer is not yet ready to release the work;
- cases in which another developer is too aggressively soliciting donations or misrepresenting the work (kanging);
- unofficial builds where an official build is already available;
In summary, we want people to have access to work and knowledge alike. Sharing is good and courtesy and ethics go a long way.

GPL: Just my 2.cents

Regarding: [ROM][ICS]ICS Stock v1 by Rushabh25
Yeah, closed down without any further notice from moderator.
Would like to know the exact reason and wich XDA rule number was broken.
Actually he did correct the credits.
But it seems not enough to some/all of the devs of the origin works and the many grudgers. Nowadays you have to beg for permissions to use their work. If you want to do the permissioning correctly, than you have to also go back the long line down to the real originator of the work. And that would be not the devs here on XDA but the little developer at Samsung with his/her teammates. And I highly doubt that anyone up the line has ever done it.
None of you have ever heard of GPL?
Who was complaining about closed source anyway?
Again, if you want to do it correctly than state clearly in your packages under wich license you're releasing your work to the public. Do your homework and sort out which license from whom you're using or violating in the first place before complaining about others.
@mods
Please give at least a hint from which all XDA members also can follow the reason behind the action, if you're going to close this thread like the other previous ones. Btw, if the reason is really copyright infringement of the devs here on this forum, than there should be also several thread closed down, because they clearly altered the Apps (theming) of the original author. I don't even have count the threads with the copied Apps from the official market.
Now than, just imagine how cleaned up XDA would be, if you gonna take the same measurement against every thread, like you have previously done to the just two closed threads.
Have a nice day,
ToS
.
Has you can see i didn't removed the link for the ROM. I just want the op to pm the dev asking for permission (is this to hard to do??)
The point is there must be respect for the developers, because the hardwork for our pleasure is from them.
The credits wheren't given at the begining, and before GPL there is the thanks to people that work for us.
If you want be the responsable for disencourage developers to share their work, then go for it!
Best regards
Just to remind you also the forum rules, that you all read i'm sure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

Sharing, XDA, and You! New Addition to Sharing Policy on XDA-Developers

News from the Portal of XDA.
http://www.xda-developers.com/annou...addition-to-sharing-policy-on-xda-developers/
Posted August 22, 2012 at 6:00 pm by egzthunder1
We are going to deviate a bit from our regularly scheduled programming to let you know about an upcoming change in the rules in the XDA forums. As time has gone by, our site has grown by leaps and bounds from what it was a couple of years ago. With a membership base of over 4.5 million registered users and an average of 35-40 thousand people active at any given time, we need to ensure that this place can offer the best possible environment for all people, both experienced developers and people who come here looking to learn about mobile devices. Because of this reason, the rules of our site need to be amended from time to time to accommodate the needs and wants of such a large user base, but without losing our principles and forgetting what XDA was founded on in the first place.
Just a bit of background: XDA was a website founded by hackers and developers for hackers and developers. People coming here shared one common goal, which was to get more and more out of their expensive toys and they did so by reverse engineering, creating new code to expand the device’s capabilities, and doing things with hardware that most people cannot do (mainly due to lack of knowledge or technical ability). The site prospered to what it is today because these very same people knew that their collective ideas and efforts would yield more results if they collaborated by sharing what they knew with others. More often than not, this resulted in fantastic feats such as the original XDA online kitchen, the very first port of WM5 to the mythical HTC Blue Angel, and many more accomplishments that are stored in the depths of XDA’s forums.
XDA-Developers has always been a place for sharing knowledge. People spend countless hours on their projects and give back to the community in several different forms, either by releasing the complete work to the community, or by sharing its source and methods by which the work was conceived. The latter allows others to pick up the work and tweak it to improve it (think of the Linux kernel for this to make sense). XDA’s own foundation is much like that as well. However, often times, this concept of the sharing of knowledge gets confused with the concept of sharing everything. If you frequent our site, you will have undoubtedly come across a few threads were discussions about sharing are on going. Essentially, some people demand for work to be released or even think that they can take as they please without following rules already present on our site. Likewise, people sharing their work sometimes have rather bizarre ways of doing so, which has a bad tendency to develop in what we like to call “dev wars”.
We (administrators and moderators of this site) truly believe that intellectual property (IP) is a very important part of what is done on xda-developers. As such, we cannot and will not support any kind of action which forces a developer to share their work with others if the developer does not wish to do so. A developer of anything has rights over their work and as such he/she can choose to do with it as he/she pleases (give it away, share the source, burn it, give it to an orphanage, or eat it for breakfast). We support whatever decision is taken by its developer. Having said that, over the years people have found what can only be categorized as a loophole in our current sharing policy, and thus people are forced to do things in exchange for permissions to use certain pieces of work by others.
After a long deliberation with the entire moderator and administrator staff, we are implementing the following addition to our sharing rule (Rule 12) – revisions are in bold:
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by the dev or freely share it. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the dev decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use.
In regards to permissions, same rules remain for this but if permission was already given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under severe circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
The problem with the aforementioned permissions is that the rule never really stated anything regarding continuity or longevity of said permission. On top of that, selective sharing creates a massive problem on our site as it tends to give place to kanging (unauthorized copying and/or redistribution of work), fights between devs (so called “dev wars”), and tons of time wasted on investigations, which normally involves a large number of people from our staff. This needed to stop as it was reaching critical mass and high levels of anxiety were generated for no apparent reason on something that should be a hobby.
So, if you are a developer on this site and would like to keep your work as something exclusive, we encourage you to do it. If you would like to freely give it out so that others can use it and make it better, we encourage you to do it as well. However, we will no longer accept claims from anyone who picks and chooses who gets what. As stated in the rule, you either share or keep, but if you do share, do it fairly. Favoritism has created a great divide in our site and our community and it is only hurting development as a whole. People focus more on pointing fingers than they do on trying to create original work.
Permissions should still be sought as a matter of common courtesy, much like the original rule stipulated. However, unless a valid reason is provided, a simple “no, you cannot have it” will not suffice, especially if the work is being shared with others and permissions are denied out of spite.
Lets all work towards a new, rejuvenated XDA that is based on the core principles placed by the site’s founding fathers. Sharing of knowledge is what brought many of us together on this site and we should strive as a community to keep it that way. Please share your thoughts on this.
Thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
XDA-Developers Administration Team

[Poll] Your thoughts on making a fundraiser for custom kernel development/support

Admins, delete if not allowed
So, as I was searching in forums and web pages, I've encounter that the Xiaomi Mi 9 is "forgotten" by kernel developers, some people say it's because of the popularity of some devices like the OP7 Pro, some other says its because there are a lot more interesting devices out there.
What I'm trying to say, is "If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain".
So what I suggest is make a fundraiser to a kind developer, so he can work (or at least have fun) with our device, either kernel level or something else, of course with his previous consent.
There is so much potential in our device and room for improvements at kernel level (at least on xiaomi's), even more now with that 84Hz mod that it's still very raw in terms of development and maybe this is the chance to at least have a little more development on the forums.
Of course, there is absolutely no obligation on the developers part to release a final product, donations should be seen as support towards a best-effort on the part of the developer that accepts be part of this (possible) fundraiser.
So if you have in mind a great developer, leave his name below, If I'm out of my mind, just ignore or vote correspondingly :good:
It is not allowed
We did a fundraiser already for demon000, apparently XDA no longer allows this though. He is currently working on our device, but good things take time.
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/fundraiser-official-los-aosp-t3936463
Keep track here for his kernel development: https://github.com/Demon000/kernel_xiaomi_sm8150
Moderator Notice:
Fundraiser thread for any kind of development is forbidden on XDA.

@System23 Read the stickies before you post.
This post does not qualify for development, as you are simply re-posting others' work.
Read the Forum Rules:
12.1. Give credits where due - Credits and acknowledgements for using and releasing work which is based on someone else's work are an absolute must. Works reported to have no credits will be taken down until proper acknowledgements are added by the member in question;
12.2. Courtesy - While most of the work released on our site falls under the umbrella of open source, that is not the only license model being used by developers on xda-developers. In order to prevent problems, we ask that if you decide to base your work on someone else's that you check the license model being used (as it might not be as permissive as one may think);
12.3. Re-releasing other's works as your own is forbidden. The code that you release into the wild must have something beyond minor aesthetic changes that makes it better than the last.

Direct download links preferred, due to stipulations stated in Forum Rule 11
Spoiler: Rule 11
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling.

B) The site is a relatively small, personal website without commercial advertising / links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)
Placeholder threads are NOT permitted! A development thread MUST include a download link for the development project at the time the thread is posted.
Extra emphasis on Forum Rule #12
Spoiler: Rule 12
XDA-Developers is based on the principle of sharing to transmit knowledge. This is the cornerstone of our site. Our members and developers freely share their experience, knowledge, and finished works with the rest of the community to promote growth within the developer community, and to encourage those still learning to become better. There are those, however, who take advantage of this model and try to make personal gains from the hard work of others.
In order to preserve the delicate balance between sharing for the good of the community and blatant self-promotion, regular members and developers alike must understand (and agree) to the following:
12.1. Give credits where due - Credits and acknowledgements for using and releasing work which is based on someone else's work are an absolute must. Works reported to have no credits will be taken down until proper acknowledgements are added by the member in question;

12.3. Re-releasing other's works as your own is forbidden. The code that you release into the wild must have something beyond minor aesthetic changes that makes it better than the last. As this can be subjective, kang reports will be reviewed on a case by case basis. If you feel that your code has been kanged, please contact the Developer Relations Team (DRT) if you cannot solve the issue amicably via PM. Please understand that you will be asked to provide evidence to substantiate your claim;
12.4. Developers can issue take down requests (by contacting the Dev Relations team) under the following circumstances:
- in-process builds start showing up on forums when the developer is not yet ready to release the work;
- cases in which another developer is too aggressively soliciting donations or misrepresenting the work (kanging);
- unofficial builds where an official build is already available;
In summary, we want people to have access to work and knowledge alike. Sharing is good and courtesy and ethics go a long way.
Developers with questions, comments, complaints, or concerns about our rules (or anything!) should send a PM to our Dev Relations team or a Moderator (see here). We are here to help!
All ROM / MOD / DEV / etc... found in the DEV section not created by the DEV themselves does not qualify as a development and will be moved to General. It should be properly tagged as [INFO] or [REF], with links to the source website were it was found
Please keep all non Development relevant chatter off the DEV project topics, feel free to create a new topic in General for non Development comments about specific ROM / MOD / THEME / etc... valid replies within a DEV project are: BUG Reports, Problem, Troubleshooting Steps & Logs.
... and Please! keep all your personal bickering via PMs, do not pollute the forum with your personal indifferences.
If you have a problem with a specific member please contact the Moderators for help, that's what we're here for, but we are not babysitters, we are here to gather, organize and provide useful information for our over priced phones.
