I know there's a whole thread dedicated to working modules but I wanted to start one for this phone, basically just what works what doesnt, I'm running
AD Blocker Reborn
Amplify
Greenify
Flat Style Keyboard
And Xmessenger
They all work perfect if anybody is running anything else that works feel free to let everybody know
I should say I'm not as well versed in Xposed as some people, I started using it in Kit Kat maybe maybe lollipop not sure but I'll try my best to answer any questions that get asked
Did you get the autotint feature to work with the flat style keyboard?

I can't seem to get amplify working on my phone. Mind telling which rom are you using and what type of root (supersu or magisk)?

There's a magisk module called greenify4magisk and it allows it to run in Xposed mode I'm on break at work or id link it for you and also a few posts above said use 3.7.1 I would try that it will probably work better
Edit: I just installed 3.7.1 and it detects Xposed and works great

Released officially for Nougat a few days ago, I'm on WETA Rom and everything is pretty smooth, I made this thread so people can post what works and what doesn't specifically for this phone, there is an ongoing thread for all working modules on nougat but that includes AOSP ROMs and not all of us are running AOSP, also haven't run into any major issues boot times are a little bit longer but I haven't noticed a decrease in battery life or performance
Guys, do you xposed might work on Tilde's ROM?

If it's a stock based Rom I can't see why it wouldn't work, same goes for an AOSP Rom, as always make a Nandroid backup in TWRP before flashing just in case it doesn't work

I went to WETA for customization and the aroma installer had a bunch of stuff I could choose from, rooting in general it's just something I've been doing since my first Android phone, I'm amazed at what I can do with basically complete control, as I say to my friends that don't know what root is, if I want to do something I more than likely can, music didn't sound good enough to me so I installed viper4android music sounds amazing and I couldn't go back to stock, I wanted my battery to last longer so I installed greenify to force doze when I turn my screen off so I can get iPhone levels of standby drain, also it's just something fun to do there's always new stuff going on, Xposed just got released officially a few days ago and I honestly can't wait to see what comes of it.

Yeah i had started with the VS995 Verizon variant when I first went to the V20.. but after we switched to MetroPCS (via TMobile service).. I noticed that without all of the GSM bands.. my connection was HORRIBLE.. plus I did not have the WIFI calling / SMS features... so I switched to the H918 variant... SO Glad I did.. love the knowledge I could unlock my bootloader.. and it seems to have some of the default features that Verizon had locked out... IE FM Radio.. etc..
right now i'm on the 10q software.. so not sure if i'm locked out of anything or if thats still able to root / unlock and flash safely.

As far as I know 10p still hasn't been rooted, I would hold off updating for a bit if you do want to root, I don't know when a 10q root will be available

Probably stop refreshing. From what I've read, Korea gets it today and there's no info on the rest of the world. We're probably waiting a bit.
LG G6 (Korean) just got an update to Android Oreo today. Has anyone tried to install AR Stickers and AR Core? I tried to install it but it seems doesn't works. Anyone if has a suitable version of Google camera, AR Stickers, AR Core that can works well on G6, please reply. Thanks!
What is the new features? Please screenshoot. Im waiting for the new features

http://www.lge.co.kr/lgekor/mobile/notice/oreo01.jsp
beside some update listed there, this update also has hide navi bar feature
Honestly the hide nav bar thing should've been there when the phone was released, with the screen size and all that it only makes sense. What I'm curious of is did lg devise a way to do it without extra battery drain?

Be patient, the question has already been asked several times, it is necessary to wait until the people who had the update had time to perform a few cycles of use..
Okay I have it downloaded on a korean G600S. So far so good. Oreo 8.0 April 1st security patch. The settings menu is very different as expected. Performance is definitely a bit snappier just right off the bat.
Anyone got some news about when it will become avaible on the SEA 870ds version ? Cause my last update its from October...
BT 5?

I guess people shouldn't get too hasty.. The Oreo update is currently for Korea only. And they are getting that today so obviously they will need a day at least to check the performance and other stuff. So just wait. People will reply after testing properly

That is incredibly stupid. It's like they didn't bother fixing the bigger more complex issues possibly that they're not competent enough to do so. Those issues being an encryption problem that occurred during beta testing where some beta testers that updated over OTA from nougat to Oreo were stuck at an "to start android, enter password (or pin)" and the only way out was to factory reset. If they didn't fix that, then they didn't fix the overheating and battery drain issues. Disappointed.

Agreed, releasing an update that removes features. If we wanted a ROM that didn't function 100%, then we might as well stay on custom ROMs. Better off doing so in some cases.
Seems this is only for those who don't know how or don't want to learn how to install custom ROMs on their phone.
I know that's pretty obvious, it's just a shame.
Removal of daydream would be a good trade if it did something like help improve battery life and performance. Both of these were already good enough on stock nougat though. Battery was terrible in the oreo beta from what everyone reported

I installed it from SD. Had to go buy one though because I never used one ...anyway...tried installing using ADB and that will NOT work. Installed just fine from SD. This is only my backup phone so I did not set it up completely to mirror my daily driver, but it looks good. The default launcher is OK. I regularly use Nova Prime. Everything I tried worked great. I do not use Daydream or anything like that so no loss for me.

My device was oreu and once I flashed retus on it and everything worked, though this might not help you to get faster updates and of course it also means that you have to unlock the bootloader which later might cause OTA updates to fail to install even if you manage to download them.
Cool. Week that's at least a good news as it's possible to do that. What that Pie's image by any chance?

Unfortunately it was not Pie rom, it was Oreo. There is no pie rom except for GSI roms. Hopefully someone who got the recent Pie update in Brasil will post the rom or capture a download link, then we could flash it in a similar way.

I was excited about MiUi 11 .
But i am totally disappointed by the look of it..
It brings literally worthless features ..
I was looking forward to Global Darkmode but ...
No it's comes with android 10 only and we are getting android 9 ..for what !! and why ..
it's totally disappointing to update and MiUi but not android version in a a MI series model..
Dont worry, Android 10 will come soon.
Only force dark apps it's missing, literally just that, for me it's more disappointing that an Android update just bring that.

Wow that's bad. Did you try to hard reset? Should fix this. Still no update here on Global ROM..
Guys it's a good update. Yes it is hardly to get to use to some new features and updates but I can confirm the battery lasts longer with this update, some of the services removed or replaced to reduce power drain like "Start in background" permission I don't see it anymore... in MIUI 10 it was set by default. Ambient display with the new AOD feature is also nice.
On MIUI the way to go is use the BETA ROMS, i'm very satisfied with the latest.

In fact, i debloat any Android i own (MIUI or not) to only have the Play Store and Play Services from google. Not even chrome or gmail i use.
Yeah that was kinda disappointing. But then Xiaomi never put the Android version front and center but MIUI. Always. Major Android update is like point 7 on the changelog for a random update.
