shall i go for it ? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

shall i exchange my phone for an S6 as long as its looks like LG isnt going to support unlocking for any further models and i really want to install AOSP based or CM based roms mainly to get better battery life
i am offered an S6 for my G4 h815p and some cash so what do you think guys ?

@autoprime @codeworkx @genesixxbf3 @BySezerSimsek @S3V3N

sorry for annoying guys it tagged twice due to an internet problem
waiting for ur replies and i hope anyone else with an expert who see the post can help

If you want to have aosp based Roms s6 could be the wrong phone, I heard from a cm developer for the note 4 that exynos and cm Roms are not good compatible together. I would inform before buying one

Sorry but Samsung isnt that open too. I would switch to Nexus or something more dev-friendly .. But well LG and Sammy are pretty similar development side..

Hi,
You might want to read the forum rules regarding bumping threads. You are allowed to bump your thread once after 24 hours with no replies, not every couple of minutes. You can always edit your first post next time instead of making more posts. It gives the appearance of impatience.
Thanks for your cooperation

Better off going a 6P if you want open.
Sticking with my G4, used all sorts of Android devices and the G4 is the only one that I feel like I could actually stick with.
Admittedly I haven't used any Nexus devices (their cameras have been renowned as terrible until recently) but I have used the stock Android experience and it feels lacklustre to me.

problem getting photosphere to work.

I have been at this for a long time now. But when I start the camera..it says "gallery stopped working"
I'm on cm10.1 rc5
I tried flashing the camera zip
I tried pushing the files via root explorer setting permission to rw-r-r-
Gallery works but camera crashes...
Help is appreciated!
Maybe,just maybe, because i'm a total n00b,photosphere will not work on non-nexus devices?it doesn't matter if you have the apps related to photospehere,it's coded to nexus framework.it was a while ago working on chad's CM 10.1,but now i don't know, he was complaining about google blocking photosphere on non nexus devices. And chad's cm has nexus4 kernel base,not like the official CM, which has lg source.
so,again, n00bish question, why do you think it would work on G?
if you want photosphere, get a nexus device.if you want photosphere on optimus g, buy nexus device.
Maybe because I read somewhere on xda that people had it working on a optimus g.
It has been reported to work on lot of non nexus devices...so that's why I asked..
well, go to that detailed "somewhere" source and use their procedure.If you would've paid attention to what i said, you'd find out photospehere WAS indeed working,but only on chad's CM,at least on his earlier versions.I saw about a week or so ago chad saying something about google blocking photosphere.
If you want photosphere that much, check his thread.But he has at least 2 major bugs on his rom :
1. Call bug.
2.no focus on camera.
Nr. 2 is redundand,since you want CAMERA features,having a camera with problems,will make photosphere kinda useless, right?
If you don't believe me,go ahead and try.
Maybe it's me but you seem a bit aggressive in your reaction.
I'm just asking a normal question about a function I'm missing and, call me silly, I'm expecting a normal friendly answer.
If this is the way people normally react on the lg optimus portion of the XDA forum than this phone is getting old really fast!!!
So you either get your act together or stop posting on these forums.....idiot!!!

If you want a pad on your back or a hug, you came in the wrong place. I choose the way of giving people information.If they ask stupid questions, i give them smartass answers.Maybe next time they will use search function.BTW,that answer is from one of the top developers here. So you may wanna take on him too.You're saying this device is getting old fast?So?your point?We only have a handful of devs :
- CM team for official CM -but they will not consider any bug/requests
- chad - with his kernel and cm (with the issues i mentioned before)
- thinking bridge team - but their project is based on official CM
- houstonn(but he's more into canadian section, not international G),
- shelnutt2,autoprime and fiddy619 "guilty" of making freegee and for rooting
- bippi79 - avatar rom
- a few others i won't mention here,because you can see for yourself.Which one of them should start working right away on your request?

I got my act together just fine,thank you.You don't like it?Maybe you should stop asking this kind of things if you don't want to get such answers. Bottom line, either you buy yourself a nexus for photosphere or you start porting it yourself.Then share your work here,for free, after alot of time spent, only to see ignorants not happy with it and asking for more.
Bye.
/thread ignored.not worth the trouble reading.
Well dear friend..you just inspired me to trade my OG for an N4...
Not because of the photosphere feature...but.because of your attitude!!!
If you set the "standard" for this community, frankly my dear, i dont want to part of it!!!!
Fantastic job, I hope your proud of yourself!!!
Just a short contribution. I've had the exact same problem as you, and everything that's said here is pretty much spot on. It will only work with Chad's CM and his modified gapps (not sure if it still works). Although I really would love to have the function, we currently just have to accept that since photosphere isn't part of the aosp (I believe?), which makes it not open source it's not so easy to port to any other phone. Even if we basically have a nexus 4 :/
While the nexus4 will have much more development (and photosphere ofc) this is still a pretty awesome phone that has most mainstream roms ported and some really nice devs here.

Your question was definitely legit since there has been pretty much no talk about the photosphere on our phone. I hope its opened up or some workaround to get it working in the future since I think its an awesome function and personally I feel its not worth downgrading to a Nexus 4 just for it though.
Well,dream on. Samsung has it's tw and framework closed,same with htc and the other manufacturers.google must have some cherry picks too.just pure android is not enough.so,google found this nice pick,called photosphere.i know it worked on chad's cm.i was one of the users reporting photosphere working,but not anymore.when google updated it's source,they also add a small code line to detect non nexus devices.
About my friendlyness,we are not here to join hands and sing kumbaya.we are here to share and gain knowledge.i'm learning something new almost everyday and i try to contribute as much as i can. If this makes me an idiot,because someone doesn't know what questions to ask or he can't use a simple forum search function,then i am an idiot.
Only if he knew i helped alot of people here,since my days on galaxy s forum,3 years ago.
Well,have a good life.

You were the first one starting with insults in your first reply. If you had just said that "some week ago it looks like Google patched out non-nexus phones" it would have ended in a third post saying "Okay, thanks". Now lets stop the drama and continue on. For now its not possible, but we never know in the future, this is a development forum after all.

Pixel Rom Port for OP3 possible?

Hey Guys.
Was wondering if anyone would be willing to port a original Pixel Rom to our device?
I always liked the Nexus roms and the Pixel phones seem pretty similar to the OP3 so that might just make it possible?
Let me know if anyone is willing to try
Thanks!

Dude you need to chill down. We all make mistakes. OP is asking a simple questions and yet you are not helping in anyway.
@op - I don't think so but you can try Resurrection ROM or any other pure Android ROM and flash Google pixel mode which would give you a close look to pixel.
To answer the question, a true Nexus/Pixel ROM port is possible but extremely hard and time consuming and not always worth it.
Not trying to insult any devs but custom Roms not based on OOS are not worth it. There's always stability issues with certain apps and performance is very good but inconsistent (random lags here and there that are really annoying). Camera quality is not even close to OOS (unless you're on sultan's ROM but that's cm13).
You're best bet for this phone is Experience ROM or FreedomOS (based on OOS 4.0.2) and F2FS format for /data + Blu spark kernel. Best performance/battery life combo there is in all situations

And I'm just telling him not shouting at him it's just an advice
Well I told him to use pixel UI mod
And u think that's not answering
Hey thanks for the replies guys.
The Pixel Ui isn't the reason I want the port. My main issue with the current Roms out there is that 90% of them are based ok lineage OS which atm has way to many bugs / issues imo. I know some issues you can fix by flashing this zip and that zip and maybe another zip here. Not the biggest fan of that.
As for the OOS based ROMs: I am currently on one of them. Sadly i am also one of the people that has huge issues with WiFi / network stability.
I opened this thread cause I saw that the Samsung Galaxy s7 has a working Pixel rom Port and so does the nexus 5x. There are more phones that have working ports too and all of them are not as similar to the pixel phones as the OP3. That's why I was wondering why no one has ported it yet and if someone would be willing to try.
Thanks guys!

Porting pixel

Now that we have kernel sources can we port the pixels camera or do we still need a few more things? Also when can we expect to see some roms that use the kernel sources for this device?
Well the kernels were only released 5 minutes ago...

Hi guys , I have talked with a owner of Nexus 6P | Nexus 5x | Pixel | LG V20 and Developer of roms for this phones , and he makes the WETA Rom for this devices.
The first talk I had with him I asked him if we could get him a Mi5s if he could do a Nexus/Pixel experience for our Mi5s and seeing that he has a Pixel and some Nexus I think he would be perfect to Build a nice Pixel Rom for our devices.
But to do this we would have to make a Funding so we could get him a Mi5s.
What do you think about this?

It would be cool. And it can be arranged.
But look, the developer buys the phone, makes the firmware on it, what differences will it have from AOSP? A camera from a pixel?
I think the main thing that people are interested in is the creation of a mod that replaces the standard image processing libraries with similar ones from a Google pixel.
WETA rom will also be interesting, is it the focus on the audio capabilities of the phone?

I think we could ask him if he could port the Pixel Camera and it's capabilities to the Rom seeing that the Pixel has the same Sensor.
But yeah basically the WETA Rom as I understood it is focused on the Audio Capabilities and in Stability.
But the only thing is that we would have to join forces so we could all just donate 1€ or something like that and get him a Mi5s.

I don't personally know him , I just reached out to him when I bought my Mi5s so I could get an ideia if any Dev with a Pixel would be interested in developing Roms to the Xiaomi Mi5s
And he answered me with a positive note back at that time , now I have reached out to him again to see if he is still interested in making a Rom to our Mi5s in case we could get him one and as soon as he answers me I will ask him about the camera. Because as all of us , I too want a Pixel perfect Rom for our Xiaomi Mi5s , it would be the Cherry on top of the cake.
I would also make a bit of donations for his phone
i used weta on my previous gs6 and i must say, stable and good rom. Dev was quick in answering in that days..
I have faith in him
Hi there , guys I'm sorry to have taken so much time to answer you, but this is because the Weta Dev stop answering me I don't know why.
I have talked with another Dev's from the Pixel Section and 3 Devs have answered me with a positive atitude saying that they wouldn't mind to try to Make a Pixel rom for our Mi5s.
Are you guys still interested in trying to get Money to buy them a Mi5s and seeing with they can do it?

Custom ROMs and Kernel development?

Hey,
since I am getting my 7t soon and always valued the oneplus phones as developer friendly I am wondering if the lack of devs and roms/kernels for this particular phone will sort itself out over time? Is there any issue preventing things like proper twrp and stuff from happening?
Can you recommend a kernel (from the few out there) and is there any other place to look for them?
ElementalX has it covered, right?
Thanks!

Most of those links are semi-private by invite-only.
Developers got tired of requests and demands from rookie users on XDA, and rightly or wrongly felt under-appreciated at complaints about their free for-fun work...and then took their for-funsies development to more private areas. There also has been much squabbling and drama about "originality" and "kanging" in conjunction with moderation here over the decade+ Android has been a thing; which annoyed developers more. XDA really was a victim of XDA's and Androids own success over crappy OEMs undermaintaining their own firmware. Thus the seeming deadness and lack of development across most devices, now.
I know links and very active and very-elite groups on TG--but am not sharing them, because then I'll lose my own access to those channels. Not trying to show-off or be a jerk here, just explaining how and why.

XDA really was a victim of XDA's and Androids own success over crappy OEMs undermaintaining their own firmware. Thus the seeming deadness and lack of development across most devices, now.
I know links and very active and very-elite groups on TG--but am not sharing them, because then I'll lose my own access to those channels. Not trying to show-off or be a jerk here, just explaining how and why.

I'd like to know as well. I just past 12 years of membership last week. I think that qualifies me as non-noob.
I was here when they were developing for the old Windows Mobile.

Also on year 12 and originally from WM days. Back when HTC was THE phone to own.
Would also be interested in the alternate site. I am not a dev but gladly test pretty much everything.
I miss the old Nexus days easy to root support galore.

Yep - cut my teeth on the HTC phones. Still used them off and on up to the 10.
NATF used to do the best WM ROMs back in the day.

Why not? Just wait for twrp development. 7 pro, 7T and 7T pro will have same rom and kernal development as the source is almost same.
