No. It is not supported so far.

No. I gave away my VR headset. It made me sick anyways.

it won't be for this soon i think, v20k will be released shortly which is still 5.0 based on assumptions.
But I also know lg's firmwares letters rarely go further as u,v or w haha.

Brother this is gonna how its probably gonna roll out
1) Lollipop AOSP based roms will be updated within the month
2) Nexus 5, 6, Tablets
3) Google Play Edition Devices (HTC One M7, M8, Galaxy S4)?
4) Samsung (Galaxy S5, Note 4, Note 3, Galaxy S4)?
5) LG (G3, G2)/HTC One M8
7) Sony
8) Other brands
I hope that LG will continue releasing updates for fluidity and speed of the system even without launching v5.1. :/
Maybe with G4
Could it be that LG is launching G3 5.1 update along with the presentation of the G4?
Why would they?

In the presumed leaked photos of the presumed G4, it uses 5.0.2, so LG will take time before using 5.1
Glad they will soon push 5.0.2 though!! Finally a RAM fix!!!

LG V30+ H930DS Update (V10i-DEC-30-2017)

I just checked the update and there's an update for my H930DS (Indonesia/IDN), its V10i-DEC-30-2017. Does anyone already had installed this update? How's the update compare to the previous version (V10f), what are the improvements here? Especially the battery life?
Update: link to download (for H930DS Indonesia ROM)
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW1DIAEE9249AVJ40AFEO03/H930DS10i_00_OPEN_ESA_DS_OP_1230.kdz
Dont forget to change user agent if you download using browser to:
LGE-ActiveDP/0.9
The same update seems to have been pushed out to H930DS phones for the HKG firmwares.
Interestingly, for these phones the version number is v11m - this is the first time I've seen LG use 11 in a firmware version.
(the firmware is Android 7.1.2 with the January security update)

Is it the same size as the IDN firmware update? only security update or is there any improvement? I dont want to screw up the-currently-great-battery-life. My previous LG G4 had better battery life before the latest update.
In India, we got the same update few day ago and it's just a security patch update which will bump it to January. And the battery backup remains the same.
Our updated version is V10d-IND
Just got this update on my V30+. Says V11m-DEC-29-2017
Size 773.87mb.
Not sure what phone usability and functionality has been improved. Would be nice to have a detailed explanation.

Biggest change in 1 January update is Netflix HDR video fix, now Netflix works fine for me on my LG V30+ H930DS HKG version. that was only complaint I had with V30 cuz I bought for multimedia. Camera on V30 is crap, worst on any 2017 flagship phone but I can live with that as I've also Pixel 2 XL and iPhone X.

Camera is definitely not crap. Note 8 might beat it in very low light, but even comparing Pixel 2 XL to V30 pictures, most in a random group chose V30.

LG has disabled this feature by software.
As you can see in the attached screen, the smartphone detect a displayport adapter, but the tv out is disabled via software.
I have been researching into the kernel source, and I have discovered how they have disabled this feature, I have uploaded the hdmi_Kconfig file from LG v30, and Samsung Galaxy S9, both of them support HDMI out, and LG G7.
There you can see waht I have explained.
If it would have some developeres interested in this device, they could take back this feture to LG G7.
usb c to hdmi cable
When it comes to technology, I think I'm pretty up to date but I was a little behind the curve when it came to HDMI cords and cell phones. I absolutely love my Samsung S8+ and being able to watch videos that I have recorded, pictures I've taken on my television has opened me to a whole new world...... use easyacc usb c to hdmi cable watched movies from my Netflix app from my phone on the television screen. I'm stoked if you can't tell!!!

The feature is directly disabled in the kernel. While we have the kernel the source doesn't work.
So does this mean there is a way to enable this feature on the g7. I just updated from an iPhone and have no wifi where I play videos etc for my students. I had the adapter for the smart phone and bought one to fit the USB c but when I plug it in to the HDMI it only charges does not show the screen

Hello!
I am interested in enabling hdmi also.
Any news?
I'm offering a reward! ?
Hi guys, it must be rooted the phone for make the change in the kernel to activate the feature? Or there is an alternative way to enable it?
There is no way to enable it at the moment.
Snapdragon 845 have HDMI as option- vendor have to open HDMI with paid key (same as Windows Home to Windows Pro). Qualcom understand the power of money.
So it is a SW issue-but You can't just change n to y in kernel. It's a clear case for LG. Maybe they can offer a paid solution - but I doubt it.

Nothing needs to be ported from the V30S/V30+/V30. Are you perhaps thinking of the V35?
Any KDZ for US998 V30 works on V30S and vice versa. V30S is US998R (for more RAM):
* US998 V30 64GB/4GB RAM,
* US998U V30+ 128GB/4GB RAM,
* US998R V30S 128G/6GB RAM.
V30S is just a V30+ with more RAM. This is why WTF bootloader exploit also works on V30S.
They'll probably all get Pie the same time. But if the V30S does get Pie "first", then every US998 can immediately flash it.

I'm betting on Q2 2019 for non-Korean carrier V3O. Just like earlier this year for Oreo. They say Q1, which is ridiculous. Korean carrier V30 might receive in Q1, but the rest will be at least Q2.
And they say V40 is getting Oreo in Q4 2018. Ha! That's not true. That would be in the next month and there's not even beta yet.
That site doesn't understand reality.

Translation: LG will keep pushing out the release dates because that's what LG does.

Question Can we install Global Rom on Chinese version?

If I buy the chinese version of Honot Magic 4 Ultimate (Or Honor Magic 4 Pro Plus), will I be able to install Global Rom in it?
I am not sure if Bootloader unlocking/ rooting are possible on this device yet.
The better question:
Can we install play store without the hassle of magic pro 3?
The chinese version already comes with Play store, so that is not an issue.
But I want to be able to install the Global ROM on the Chinese phone, I am not sure if that is possible yet.

i saw a lot of videos where on the magic 4 pro there was google installed on it. i bought the ultimate yesterday, can't wait to have it in my hands. hoping with google, but if not there are some workarounds like on the huawei p50 pro

From what I understand, the problem is this:
Honor phones that are released in China (Chinese variants) don't have GMS pre installed and it's nearly impossible to install them. Why? Because apparently those China models for some reason still use some HUAWEI code in the software!
A reviewer from China - Michael Elsegood, said the following regarding GMS installation on chinese phones:
"Most Chinese brands you are able to install but because of Honors use of Huawei’s code it still doesn’t work here in China unfortunately"
video here
Global variants are different, they come with Google services pre installed.
But what global Honor phones are there? Honor Magic 3/3 Pro? Nope. Magic 3 Pro Plus? Nope. Honor Magic 4 Pro? No, still not out yet in Europe and there's not even an official release date. As of right now, we only have the crappy mid rangers and low end phones such as Honor Magic 4 Lite and Honor 50.
I'm pretty sure the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate will be CHINA EXCLUSIVE, meaning no Google services... Sure the UNOFFICIAL WORKAROUNDS to install google MAY still work, but there's no certainty... It's a big risk to buy such an expensive phone. Just my thoughts.
And yeah, some tech reviewers uploaded hands-on videos on YouTube with the international (non-China) model of the Magic4 Pro, and that's why it had Google apps and Google Play Store visible on the home screen.
I'm by no means an expert on the matter, just sharing my observations from everything I've read.
well, it is like it is, had the p50 pro global, and used only gspace or chinese ourplay. but found a lot of alternatives that work great. my other thing is, i'm scaried that other launchers can't be installed. now i bought the phone already but i had an older honor phone with chinese firmware and i couldn't install an other launcher. that was a big bummer for me

Yes, many Chinese manufacturers make it impossible to change the stock launcher so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the case.
According to Honor UK, the Magic 4 Pro and other devices are coming on May 12th. No idea about other countries. And there is no word on the Magic 4 Ultimate, so it's most likely gonna be kept for China only.

1. OurPlay : initial installation didn't work, contacted their customer service and they were great. It's working. I can't for some reason install Chrome.
2. Gspace : doesn't work, same error message as i shared earlier, contacted their customer service, zero response.
I have been patiently waiting like everyone else for magic pro 4/ultimate to come out in the UK. I was told that they will be released for pre order tomorrow on the honor website site here in the UK. Only includes the Cyan/black colours. Also something else which kinda pissed me off was that they are only releasing a 256gb and 8GB ram version. Not even a 512gb/12gb ram version at the moment. Im trying to replace my Huawei p30Pro which has the same ram and hard disk space. Seems kinda stupid really, you think if it was a flagship they would release the high ends.
Also I did try to also speak to the guys on ebay selling the 512gb ones in hong kong, they said they cant install as global version ROM on the phone yet. i don't fancy using G space etc, had enough issues with it on my huawei tablet, in the end I sold it
tried gspace and some apps work, like tinder, dazn and gmail, all other apps don't work, but i don't necessary need them. For youtube i use vanced and it works grat. The unique app i can't get to work is netflix. Does someone has a solution?
