Hey,
It's there anyone who is working on porting the G4 apps to the Verizon g3? I found a post of apps ported to the D855 and for the hell of it I tried flashing the camera app and it worked but after the i flashed my wifi wouldn't connect.

Hi, did you got any solution for this?
No solution Yet !
same proplem!
any solution for this? please
Any solutions?
got the same problem... i hope someone have any idea...
@iamorenji You will need to port a device tree for the ROM. There's no way around it. It is a difference in software and potentially hardware as well that you will need to deal with.
For example, take the U.S. carrier-variants of the G5. For whatever reason, they don't have FM radio like the other variants like EU and perhaps the KR. I don't know whether it is not included in the hardware itself or whether it is disabled via software, but either way, you probably won't be including the Lineage FM Radio app when you build for U.S. variants.
To port for your device, you should start by forking the device trees for the officially-supported variants of the G5, like the H830 and H850. Choose the one that is closest to the F700L. Then start converting all of the configuration files, e.g. so that they use your device codename. Here is a good example of that being done in a conversion from the H830 to the RS988 (GitHub).
Search for building tutorials online and look at the building resources that other G5 developers use (local_manifests, etc.)
Good luck
What's th point of doing that, i mean if someone do the job f700l can flash h850 rom, we can't unlock the bootloader and root....
Hi all,
I have a problem with the LG CAM Plus for LG G5 after installing Lineage 14.1. The unit will not be recognised and there is no way to use it as it is right now. Could any developer please look into this and make a bug fix.
Thank you so much..

According to the Official Lineage OS for LG G5 thread they do not support the LG Friends app and libraries required for the modules. So there is no bug to fix.
Also in future you would be better to ask the question on the official development thread so the right people see it.

You see, RDS works for some specific radio stations. For some other stations, it just wont. You can give SpiritFM a try and check whether it gets the RDS back. (Keep in mind that it is also possible that the station which provided you with RDS info earlier might be upgraded so it doesn't provide you anymore. Just a possibility, but rarely would you find Lineage breaking FM on a QCM)

RDS is decoded you can see it in logs but it is not showing in radio app. Its not a problem with signal strength or transmitting rds by station.

I am also interested in having RDS on the radio. As far as I know, Lineage OS 15.1 doesn't have RDS on its radio app. The only rom I have tried that has RDS on the radio is one called Advanced Lineage OS 14.1. The rom is stable as a rock, and I was using it for some time. Unfortunately that rom is discontinued nowadays, that's why I stopped using it. I am using now Advanced Lineage 15.1, from the same developer as Advanced Lineage 14.1. This new rom is as good as the previous one Advanced Lineage 14.1, but, unfortunately, it has no RDS. I have asked the developer to include it on next update. So far I have got no answer . Rds is very important to me, as I use the radio app. very often. Neither SPIRIT FM or SPIRIT FM2 work on Mido. I don't know why.
Unfortunatelly, the developer of Spirit FM died a few years ago so there will not be any further improvement.
RDS is available in Resurrection Remix 7.0 Rom.
CAF Radio provides it!

Hi! The latest themeable CAF radio provides with RDS. Not the Grey QCOM one.
STOCK FM RADIO FLASHABLE ZIP
This is a twrp flashable zip which enables FM Radio on V20 variants that came without it. Oreo stock only.
Choose your variant from the download link, currently US996_usa, US996_bpt and VS995. Flash in TWRP and your done.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299040
Note: If you intend to flash this on a variant I'm unaware of first backup the file /system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-lge-elsa.xml , as my zip replaces the original file which may have some permissions needed for other carrier apps to function. In fact that is the only reason why there are different versions of the zip.
Thanks to those who helped test the app.
=======================================
ORIGINAL POST
Hi
I have successfully ported stock Oreo LG FM Radio from a H910 rom to my device.
My device is a VS995 that has been cross-flashed with US996 (USA) KDZ that was rooted using the original dirty santa method.
As this may be of use to those without FM Radio, and because I'm curious myself, I would like to know if my flashable zip will work on V20 device variants that have FM disabled. That would be VS995, F800, US996 and possibly others.
I will provide a download link to my TWRP flashable zip to those who PM me stating their V20 variant e.g. VS995 and who understand to do a full TWRP backup before flashing. There is no uninstaller.
The zip adds files to /system only, nothing in boot partitions, so if it doesn't work or anything goes wrong just restore your backup. This is more than just an apk btw, it includes all the necessary library/framework files etc.
I'm not hugely optimistic it will work on anything other than US996 because that rom is carrier free and FM radio although not installed may not have been fully disabled on it. But it might work on other variants, I just don't know at this stage. Hoping someone can help me to find out!
Note: I am a novice developer thus will be ultra cautious. If anything goes wrong a backup is vital.
This if for TESTING only. Please do and retain the backup even if you decide to keep it should it be functioning properly! Further builds may require that you revert as as yet I haven't written an uninstaller.
I might give this one a go. I recently acquired a US996 USA from another member who moved on to another device. There are very few apps installed so far, and it's on Alpha Omega Oreo. As the ROM is stock-based, that should be close enough to try, right?
UPDATE: I found a bug. Ordinarily FM does not work with Hi-Fi ON by design. It is toggled off automatically when FM app is opened. This is not happening and causes a crash if hifi is set to on. It does work fine when Hi-Fi is user selected to be OFF. I'm looking into it and I'll hold off on releasing it to those who have requested it for the time being.

It depends on how much AO has been modified. As long as you have backup no harm in testing it.
Edit: From what I recall AO Oreo Rom as very few enhancements unlike the nougat version of it. I'd recommend going back to stock and debloat etc. That is what I have done.
Ok so sorted out that bug (got lucky!).
Instructions
Backup to internal storage using a root browser the file /system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-lge-elsa.xml (I might need this to debug).
Do a full system backup
Flash the zip and reboot
Test toggling hifi mode on/off.
Test swapping from music apps to fm and back.
Test your other non music apps to see if they are working normally both with fm on and off.
Report back here your results!
Please do not distribute the dl link or the zip.
Thanks for testing!

ok i flashed on my v20 now.
Fm radio works in the fm app. Everytime I turn on it will automatically turn off hi-fi mode.
When i use lg music and another music app, hi-fi wil turn on automatically. Same when I switch back to fm radio and turn on immediatly, hifi will turn off automatically.
Everything works as it should switching back and forth. Thanks for bringing working fm radio to the us996 :good:
So far, so good also on my end, running the factory-unlocked US996 USA, Alpha Omega Oreo, and mk2000 2.2 Oreo kernel.
Hi-Fi mode turns off/on as expected when starting/stopping the FM radio, just like it does on my H918, also on Alpha Omega Oreo (my LS997 on Nougat somehow stays on Hi-Fi mode at all times). The "pass sound to speaker" button on the top right also works correctly for the radio.
If this also works for users of the other variants without FM radio, then we'll have ourselves a permanent fix. Nice job, OP :good:
That's great guys.
US996 passed initial testing phase.
Hold on to the backups in case anything happens over the next few days. But it's looking good.

Yes that would great. Waiting for someone on VS995 and F800 to test. I expect issues but I might be able to fix them.
It's 2am here, but I saw your Reddit post. I'm on vs995, lineageos 16. I can test if you like.

US996 unlocked variant with stock Oreo.
Tested all the above.
Everything works, if something comes up I will post it here.

STOCK Oreo only. LG system apps won't work on lineageos.
The FM radio app is not a app designed by me, it's just the stock LG app.
Gotcha. my bad. This is a spare device, so I can clean flash it with no hard feelings. Would this work for your test? Or do you have another link you can direct me to?
I *think* there are problems going back to stock from Lineage using a zip. I read anyway. The sure way of doing it is flashing oreo kdz, which isn't quite as straightforward. Up to you which you want to try first.
On a VS995 (i.e., FM neutered model courtesy of Verizon) with final Alpha Omega ROM (based on stock Verizon 20c) and using mk2000 kernel.
All is working really well. Hifi mode turns off as soon as the radio is on, and it refuses to turn on when FM is already on. Can play FM through the speakers or headphones. (headphones must be plugged in)
Starting other music apps (Spotify, IHeartRadio, LG Music) all kills the FM radio cleanly; starting the FM radio causes the other apps to pause playing and FM to start. Did not experience any crashes or strange behavior. Notifications play properly over FM sound.
Doesn't seem to impact any other apps at all, I was just using the phone listening to FM radio for the first time in 2.5 years. Very excited to see this development, I was disappointed when it came out that the Verizon model had FM turned off. I don't expect to use it much but it's nice to have, and especially nice to have things that were obviously turned off for no reason other than Verizon's greed!
VS995 passed initial testing phase.
I'd say give it a week and final phase 2 passed.
Ok so it turned out I needed to do a little adjustment for the Verizon model, nothing major, but thankfully seems to be working well.
What I need now is anyone on F800x or any other model (if there are any left does anyone know?) to send me the xml file I asked you to back up in POST 5.
Also if there is anyone on NOUGAT I might be able to do it for that version as well. Let me know if anyone is interested and I might look into it.
Looking forward to testing to be completed and this to be released. Would welcome the use of the V20's FM radio. Thank you for your hard work.

Haven't heard of further variants not having FM radio enabled, and I wasn't even aware that the Korean ones didn't have it. You may want to ask over in the Korean variants discussion thread for more testers.

Okay, so I just thought it didn't for some reason. Perhaps I'm wrong about that. I've googled it again and I just get conflicting info on it. There are different versions of the US996 though aren't there? One's with carrier bloatware will have to be modified.
What I think I'll do is just release it for the US996usa and VS995 for now.

Yeah, all the phone specs sites are not reliable when it comes to devices with lots of regional variants regarding less obvious features such as all LTE bands and FM radio. This Reddit post seems to hint at the Korean models not having FM radio.
As for the other US996 versions, there are two from smaller, regional U.S. carriers that are sometimes referred to by devs as "US996 Dirty Santa": US996 UCL (U.S. Cellular) and US996 BPT (BrightPoint). I don't expect these models to have as much carrier bloat as the ones from the larger U.S. carriers (H910, H918, VS995, LS997). There are definitely some users of them out there on the V20 Subreddit based on what you see on the flairs next to their names.
Thank you for taking the time to make this work for my us996 bpt variant. Not having a radio was a disappointment when I first rooted the phone. Terrific work, all seems well!
