So how do we about using the dual screen case with other phones? There has to be a wa - LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers

How to make the LGs Dual Screen Case work with other phones? There's always a way for everything with Android. I found a development page for the dual screen on LGs site but I don't know how to go about any of that yet. Maybe on rooted phones it would be easier to figure out or does it have to be written into the software? Thank you guys!

Dual screen case won't work for other phones.
Also this isn't the right section to post this.

It's using HDMI 1.4 slimport by Analogix

Could you use G8X dual case on V50 Thinq (one that is already set up for dual screen)?

Can you get it to work with other phones ? Older LG thinQ phones like the v35?

Naah. It surely won't work. Even if anything lights up the second screen somehow, a custom rom like that of LG's would be needed to use the same

The most you could do is mirror your screen and cant use it as seperate screen.

It will works fine bro U just need USB 4 SUPPORTED device or any Smartphone that capable Display output via USB port like all Samsung Flagships
U can use Samsung Galaxy S9 or any other Flagship Samsung with that dual screen and you will definitely get all benefits of Samsung Dex
I have my gaming monitor that have type c display input when i plug my Samsung Galaxy S9 to my monitor via type c to type c cable and it Works with My monitor
LG phones should works fine with any Type c input monitor and projectors
I don't have G8X to test but it will works fine :good:

It wont work.

tried v30 and v40

I've tried putting G8X DualScreen case onto v40, V50 korea, v50 us, v30, v50s
Only v50 korea shows usb connection, power supply mode
But the screen, charging, buttons don't work at all
Also you need matching firmware
G8X DualScreen case (v515) works with 901lg & v50s
Velvet DualScreen cases (g905 and g915) for example doesn't work with each other

hhy does anybody know hhow the dualscreen works? try to get it running on my crdroid rom but onnly butttons andd usb conneeection works for now

Can we create an app that would replace the need for the LG ROM or Firmware?

I recognize this is an old thread, but some of the questions here are still valid. I've been using a G8X with Dual Screen for the past year and a half and have no current plans to change up. This phone rocks and is still going strong.
If I understand correctly, the GX8 Dual Screen case is compatible with the V50S (not V50), right?
I'd like to get a V50S for the 5G capability, but keep using my Dual Screen case.

It is, the V50s is pretty much identical to the G8X, but it has more RAM and storage. The 5G is not very well supported, for starters it's the 2.5G variant, 41 NSA that works in some networks in Canada, US (T-Mobile), Saudi Arabia, South Korea, China and Thailand. It also has a smaller selection of languages and you cannot root it without breaking the fingerprint reader (the fixing hack does not work on the V50s as it never had the Android 9 version that has the bug needed to fix it). It does work well with the Dual Screen case thou, and as a Korean model you get the FM radio and the built-in call recording feature that's missing from the US G8X.

Wow, that's great info @zdanee , thank you! The more I look into it the less likely it becomes. While the larger storage and RAM are appealing, I'm on Verizon and wouldn't be able to use the 5G. Plus it has LTE Cat 19 vs the G8X Cat 20 so it has slower data speeds in general.
Thank you again for your insight!

So I'm familiar with windows systems, I'm not familiar with Android, but I know in Windows it's part of the operating system or graphics drivers that says " I have a main monitor, now I see a second monitor. Let's use it. Hey there's another mouse, let's use that."
I'm curious if software could be written to support this or if it's something that would have to be written into the kernel?

I tried to do it and ended up with my DS bricked.
See if this helps you in any way.

Then you haven't read much, looked around much in this forum, have you?
Read the sticky post that answers your questions. Two posts in that thread, read them both.
ROOT Your LG V30!
I see you also posted identical question in the G6 forum. The V30 is what the G6 SHOULD have been -- instead of LG's idiotic G6 "regionalized" spec scheme where you couldn't get all the touted features in one phone.
Plus 2017 V30 has the 2017 Snapdragon 835, not the previous year's 2016 Snapdragon 821 -- which the G6 has.
LG V30/V30+
* 1440P OLED (537 ppi)
* Qi wireless charging (for all variants)
* 3.5mm headset jack
* Quad DAC (for all variants)
* DTS 3D stereo (with root, which all variants have)
* IP68 dust/water resistance
* rear camera OIS on normal lens - plus 120 degree wide angle lens
* superfast fingerprint sensor
* 64GB (V30) or 128GB (V30+) internal storage (for all variants)
* microSD port for additional storage
* bootloader unlock and root (for all variants)

LG G7 DS, no can't be rooted.
Samsung I don't keep up with right now.
LG does not allow any of the "DS" models to have official bootloader unlock code -- but with the WTF bootloader unlock exploit on the V30 we don't need LG's permission.

You seem to have missed a lot when it comes to LG SD845 devices.
Even though cant be officially unlocked, there are engineering bootloaders of the G7 and V35 out there, which work on ALL (except T-Mobile) LG SD845 devices, which, after enabling OEM unlock in settings), allow you to unlock the bootloader by "fastboot oem unlock" ^^
There are people in russian forums or telegram groups or so which offer their service to flash those to devices by remote.

OK. Thanks.
Originally he had asked about G6 root and ROMs, which I knew wasn't viable for DS models.
I admit for G7, I assumed -- since I know they're never going to be listed for official bootloader unlock code and WTF won't work for that either.
I see this G7 thread was just started earlier this month, so I'm not too far behind:

I'm back. ???. I ended up getting a h830 today. Mint condition. Works good. Needs a new battery. Already unlocked the bootloader. Will be flashing to try. I run fulmics on my g3 and maybe even in My g2. Been a while. Gonna downgrade I guess to get twrp and root. I had a sprint and Verizon g5 back when no root was available. Don't know if it is yet depending on how well the battery holds up on downgrade. I may flash this very soon just for trial
Been stuck on Samsung for the most part. Getting annoyed with my s8. I got like 10 phones laying around and my s8 can be rooted. But my mate se is the only one bootloader unlockable

Kcal is working perfect for me I got a lucky g5 my GPS works. My last 2 g5s neither GPS worked. The new battery getting me about 5 hours sot. But kcal makes or breaks mine has a horrible ghosting problem. But auditer and kcal 100 fix this. I bought a oppo clone Helio p80 supposedly off wish. But if it's a decent clone. I'm ditching my s8s and running the g5 and knock off as dailyz. I got a v40 unlocked bootloader but it needs a screen so I'm gonna wait for the v60 so the frame and lcd come down a bit on price

SUGGESTION: Best cheap android phone with custom rom and working camera+radios

Hi All,
I'm an engineer looking to upgrade a product which uses an old Altel smartphone. I'm experienced in Unlocking and flashing. I have already done a search, but now in 2020, there may be new info.
Looking for suggestions for the best CHEAP android phone which has good custom ROM support for android 7+ (ish).
I need to use the back camera, and connect via wifi, bluetooth, or Cellular Data. It will be tested in the US, but may benefit from support for many globally common 3g and 4g bands.
One last thing. Would love to find something I can still buy a few dozen of NEW, or at least MFG REFURB.
Can anyone suggest suitable phones? So far, been considering late nexus line and early pixel line, knowing they're flash unlockable.
Thank you for reading! Apologies if I hit the wrong section of the forum.

There are no *NEW* cheap phones that have custom ROM support unfortunately. But used phone are an option : ) If you want official ROM support (Even to this day!), you can get a Samsung Galaxy S4 for 50$, an S5, Note 3 (Android 9 - 10 support!).
If you want a used phone at 100-150$, you can get a A5 2017, Google Pixel 1, Nexus 6 (Don't buy the 6p)
If you want to get a Brand new phone: Moto G7 and G6 Plus (200-250$). (Theese phones have a more complicated process of modding)
You can check the Lineage OS download Page here: https://download.lineageos.org/ Theese are all of the supported devices.
If you don't want to have any difficulties, you can get a Samsung but be careful with the variants! Get the international or Canadian variant because if you get a US variant, there are no methods of unlocking the device (except for the S5 and less) You can also get the Google Pixel, but do not buy the US variant. Same for the nexus devices...
Your knowledge and help are much appreciated.
Can you offer advice on USB OTG Compatibility with various phones on Lineage? I've had mixed results in the past with stock ROMs.

Probably almost all phone supported by lineage have OTG. Don't worry about that.

I have 2 Samsung Galaxy S3 ( circa 2012 ) and while they are far from new, they are great phones to play around with.
I am far from experienced, but I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CrDroid. The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid 3.8.9 ( based on Android 7.1.2 - I think! ). Runs great. Stable. Long battery life. Ran ( 'right out of the box' ) without any need to install Gapps.
The nice thing is the Samsung Galaxy S3 is so darn abundant. Seems that everybody has one collecting dust in a drawer. And that means they are cheap ( as in give it away ). All the Samsung Galaxy S3 came with unlocked bootloader ( I think that is the term ) except for the Verizon model.
Icing on the cake is, a fellow from Montreal, alexenferman, is the genious authour of the CrDroid Custom ROM.

Windows 11 on LG G8X

Hello everyone. There is a thing called Renegade Project which allows you to install Windows 11 Arm on some phones. I've already installed it half a year ago on my old OnePlus 6 and used this phone as a mini Steam Deck with a Bluetooth joystick, but now the thing is also available for LG G8X. Has anyone tried this yet? I am wondering about a performance difference between 845 and 855 Snap in Windows games
Support Status
wiki.renegade-project.cn
Legacy Support Status Matrix
wiki.renegade-project.cn
I'm trying it rn and Windows 11 itself runs great, unfortunately there are some drivers issues like the lack of audio, USB and DP support which is a deal breaker for me, also the GPU driver has some glitches (probably fixable by using a different one). i tried a few games like
Ori and the Blind Forest : Playable at around 25 to 45 fps at 720p
Tomb Raider (2013): runs at mostly at around 30fps to 35 fps with a few minor dips at 1080p lowest settings
GTA IV: Garbage optimized game, starts running at 20fps and after driving 10 Centimeters dips to 15-10. same fps at 1080p and 800x600

Unfortunately the G8 is not officially supported, you can still try and still hopefully works with the G8X or G8S drivers/UEFI, no guarantees.

Com port is showing up any more that lg g8x I had a hard time with rooting the device and getting the root and twrp to work on the 1st lg g8x I got the 2nd lg g8 then found out it not really supported on that one but that lg g8 tought me alot What on the rooting part of things and flasing the boot loader and doing cross flashing as well so hopefully for the this next LG g8x things work out for the best and i get it to work

Question Which Snapdragon 8 Gen2 Modem Configuration Fast connect 7800 " Wi-Fi 7" or 6900 " Wi-Fi 6e"

As you might all know , Not all Snapdragon 8 Gen2 come with same Bluetooth/ Wi-Fi hardware modem
Some are fast connect 6900 " Wi-Fi 6e" some with fast connect 7800 " Wi-Fi 7" and others use other modems with only Wi-Fi 6 like Vevo & IQ phones
can we know which Modem that S23 Ultra uses , may be by looking into drivers or system dumb of its software ?
Well searching online, according to Qualcomm themselves, the gen 2 for galaxy will have both. According to other sources the S22 Ultra is the one that has Fast Connect 7800, but at the same time I cant find a source that says the S23 Ultra supports Wifi 7. I tried checking on my phone with multiple apps, and secret Samsung codes however I cant find the Bluetooth or Wifi modem.

Yup that is the point , why they put Fast connect 7800 in it and increase cost if they didn't enable WiFi 7 , they could have used only the 6900 model like they did with the S23+ & normal S23, that is why I think that all 3 models have Fast connect 6900 and the mentioning of 7800 was a typo in the article

But that's a very good question of yours, there should definitely be an app or adb command or something like that to see which modem your phone has am curious now

After some search I found that Wi Fi 7 certifications , specs & Standard won't be ready until mid 2024 , meaning that current wifi 7 ready devices might not benefit from full set of features after Wi Fi 7 launch

I remember the same thing happened before may be 12 years ago on a device called HTC HD2 it was WiFi N ready , and it was enabled via software update later when Wifi N certifications completed , also for google nexus 4 it was 4g ready and enabled a year after via software update

Confirmed from S23 ultra teardown
It has Qualcomm Fastconnect 7800
But not sure if it is the international version or US version only
Galaxy S23 Ultra Chip ID
Chip ID for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra...
www.ifixit.com
I can only speak to the WiFi 6/6e part of this and I can tell you that my S23U connects to 6/6e as well as my wife's S22U. Matter of fact, my Z Fold 3 worked fine on 6/6e both.
I can confirm us version contains fastconnect 7800 under wcn7851. Basic support for wifi 7 is there, but the full capabilities likely won't be realized in android 13. Current patches for android 14 show progress for wifi-7 and relevant drivers.
Samsung does have a history of disabling features if they're unstable or caused by hardware defects.
On Qualcomm's devices finder page, it is mentioned that S23U uses 7800, S23 and S23+ use 6900
According to Xiaomi's official information, it is mentioned that after WIFI7 is not open, OTA updates will be open, and I think the same will be the case for Samsung.

On Qualcomm's devices finder page, it is mentioned that S23U uses 7800, S23 and S23+ use 6900
According to Xiaomi's official information, it is mentioned that after WIFI7 is not open, OTA updates will be open, and I think the same will be the case for Samsung.

Qualcomm website isn't accurate , last year they said the same about the S22 series , but it was discovered that the Wi-Fi ship in S22 ultra was Broadcom not Qualcomm and the only device that have Qualcomm was the normal S22 ,
I know that this year is different & in their website they are mentioning the US version of the S23U not the world wide Version and there is not a single source mentioning that the global version is Using Qualcomm latest tech till now, and from years of experience with Samsung products not all versions have same motherboard components , even Screens and Memory chips sometimes are different between versions
Sure it doesn't matter at this stage , it's full potential is anyway not fully unlocked but it is good to know that your device maybe be better future proofed
