Minimalist ROM with microG support advice? - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Dear all LG G7 users, I would like to create this thread to discuss about ways of using LG G7 with all the basic features working and without Google Apps and Services.
I have a EU G7 with latest firmware and updates (Android 10) This is what I am looking for:
Working USB Tethering Hotspot and WiFi hotspot
Working Gcam
Working Bank Apps
Working microG
Good GPS signal
AOD - Always On Display (if possible)
DT2W - Double Tap to Wake (if possible)
I see there are a few ROMs like LineageOS 18.1, Dot 5, and others. But I am unsure of which one offers the stability I am looking for (not customization). It is ok to use Android 10.
I have downloaded the file from LG to unlock my bootloader, so I am ready my goal is to get rid of Google, and I am aware that with stock rom, even if I like it, it is not possible.
Thanks in advance for everyone who will join the discussion.

I thought custom ROMs based on Android 11 did not have USB tethering. So not even Android 10 based custom ROMs have it? That's strange that a paid app like PDANET allows USB tethering

Because the app itself allow it through their own method. its not using android's implementation. And no, not even android 10 roms have it working on g7

Hi there, I am still here, trying to find a way of minimizing the Google impact in the stock ROM.
Could someone please update me if a custom rom has USB tethering working? And if the answer is still a big NO, is there a way to debloat or degoogle the stock rom via unlocking bootloader and root? Ideally I would love to replace Play Services with microG, or at least remove Play Services while keeping the phone booting. Any advices are appreciated.
EDIT: seems like this is a viable option for me, anyone tried? : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-degoogle-any-device-and-install-microg.4058743/

For other searching here: I just installed AOSPK from Emanuel (telegram group) and it is Android 12 based. Here USB-Tethering works out of the box and the ROM does support signature spoofing so microg can be used right away.

[Question] [GSI] [Razer Phone 1] What is currently the top rated GSI?

Hi!
I'm looking for the most stable GSI for the razer phone. These forums have been pretty dead honestly, so i'm not sure where to go.
Looking for the most up to date, feature complete, not broken GSI - My Pre-requisites are:
- Must support Magisk (i use the aptx-enabling modules that SHOULD have been in stock)
- Not bothered on android version, 8 or 9 will do
- WiFi & Tethering must work, i have an unlimited (without throttling) data plan, but you need WiFi for tethering
- Bluetooth audio must work, not bothered about calls, but music streaming over BT must work
- Generally stable - Stock rom is great, just missing a few features i like
What would your recommendations be?
If you want Magisk, go for one of the 8.1 GSI's, Pixel Experience would get my vote, nice ROM :good:
Peacce
I'll help in liven things up in this forum. Thinking of flashing (is this still the right term for GSI?) Lineage first when I get around to it over Christmas. I'm coming from a Oneplus one with the last few years on cyanogen / lineage, so I'm biased.
I'm using Lineage w/o gapps. I love it. I just wish I could figure out how to get signature spoofing to work so I could still play PokemonGO

Does Lineage (or other GSIs) enable miracast? Stock seems to only allow mirroring to Chromecast devices, which I don't have.

Looking for a ROM

As it appears StatixOS is going to no longer be maintained for whatever reason, I'm stuck with a soon to be outdated ROM on my, to me, expensive phone. So I have a simple question...
What ROMs are there for this phone? I'm aware there are some that aren't listed here, but I'm looking for one with the same features as Statix (plus some other features). I'd also prefer it if the ROM were official, as that tells me it's receiving proper support and likely won't be dropped for some time.

Stock is so good now days that a custom rom is not needed anymore.
Use the stock rom with a custom kernel and you can find find a few addons to your liking.

Unfortunately I don't find that to be the case - the stock ROM doesn't offer the options that I like, such as navbar/statusbar cust., custom fonts, and precise DPI control, among others. Addons and third party apps can accomplish a lot of it, but very imperfectly, being more prone to bugs and issues than the same feature built into the ROM itself.
After having given Bootleggers ROM a try, I was VERY unimpressed, running into issues with it just minutes after booting and, even later after setting some things up, facing frozen apps, UX not responding properly and some rather suspicious activity (such as it somehow knowing what email I originally logged into my phone with, despite doing MULTIPLE full system wipes prior to install and being the ONLY custom ROM that triggered a "Severe security alert" from google upon trying to sign in), I've decided to stick with StatixOS until the LineageOS devs get off their butts and make an official ROM for this phone, as the unofficial one doesn't support eSIM which is required for Google Fi. StatixOS has the features I want, it's actually stable unlike Bootleggers "stable" build, and GPay works on it.
Note that my gripes with Bootleggers and the unofficial LineageOS are not meant to say you're not working hard at making a ROM - it's entirely a subjective review, and as a ROM enthusiast I understand the time and effort that goes into making a ROM even run partially right.
Have you tried Dirty Unicorns?
Or stock with edxposed and GravityBox (this is what I am currently using and it has been working perfectly for the last 2 months)?
How do you get GPay to work on StatixOS, I have tried using Magisk hide but it still detects root?

It may be an isolated case, but I had all google play services modules hidden along with google pay and other google apps (just in case they talk to each other), along with the safety patch module from magisk.

I'm using the latest DU official for bonito right now, and at first everything was working wonderfully - except Google Fi is running into some issues on it where I can't send messages or make calls without being connected to wifi or enabling mobile data. I might reflash Statix, or I might just live with having to keep mobile data on when I'm not at home or work until they patch it up.

Of course not. No V30 LOS-based ROM has VoLTE and never will. That has to be present in the V30 parent LOS tree, and that Dev says it's basically impossible. So, it will never be a feature in a ROM based on V30 LOS. It's only possible in V30 stock-based custom ROMs like A.I.X.
Here's the V30 Custom ROMs FAQ -- which is linked in the WTF Instructions to read before you actually bootloader unlocked your phone. See #5.

can you use microg with this rom?
I really like the build and speed of this. WiFi worked right out the gate which is what prompted me to ditch trying to get Android 10 working. The ROM doesnt include any of the google apps so I used NikGapps to get the store and things working.
The issue is that any games or apps request that i use the google play services which is already installed and running. Not sure how to overcome this. Anyone else have this problem and perhaps a solution?
Edit: Nevermind. I used the unofficial open gapps and it worked fine. I included it in the zip queue from TWRP when i flashed the rom. I did the following:
Manually wipe (format) your System partition
Flash your ROM
Flash Open GApps package
Wipe the Dalvik & cache
Reboot
Is it good for a daily?
@supremmotu

Any way you could upload the ROM to another file hosting service such as mega? When I try to download from the link it says there have been too many downloads in the past 24-hours.
Can't wait to test out Android 11 on this excellent device.
Edit: I was able to get through and download it

So far so good (US998) - Wifi works, cell service works, GPS seems to work, tethering works. I'm running Magisk v22 fine, I installed Magisk App Debug and flashed Magisk-22.zip (just rename the apk to .zip) and MicroG works fine without the need to mess around with signature spoofing.
Edit: I could only get tethering to work from wifi, not mobile data (for internet access)
My only gripe is the always on display setting (always show time and info) glitches out so you can't really use it. If you try to turn the phone on the screen goes black and stays that way. I tried using a 3rd party app Always On Edge, but it uses too much battery to use aside from charging. FM Radio also doesn't work, but that isn't a deal breaker for the newest Android for me.

Try the Always On AMOLED app from the store. I've been using that for the last year as an alternative to the broken AOD on Android 10. I haven't noticed any significant battery drain, perhaps because, as the name suggests, it's designed for AMOLED displays.
@Osprey00
Ty so much. This app seems a lot better. I had an issue at first where the permissions wouldn't go through, I just killed the app and cache and reloaded then it worked.
It also seemed to drain the battery a ton at first, but then I rebooted my phone and stopped messing with the settings so it seems fine now.
I also was wrong about tethering working, I could only get tethering to work via Wifi, not mobile data for internet, which defeats the purpose, maybe someone has some ideas viewing this?

Even though you worked around it by using the app that I recommended and may even prefer to continue using it, I just saw this AOD fix on Telegram, credit to ɐoɔɐɾ:
This should fix the black screen bug when waking the device from sleep with aod on
This is tested and confirmed to work on DotOS and LineageOS A11, it is not for A10 and may not work on other A11 roms
Flash this after first boot, may not fix ddtw

Hi, I have just flashed this ROM and it is great so far. Everything works fine exept finger print sensor. I am able to unlock the device etc. but sensor is not accessible in some apps (internet banking, Lastpass). Have you experienced this issue, too? It is a bit annoying, especially for these apps wher biometrics is essential. Thank you.

Yes. Use the microg settings to grant the spoof permission (tap the unchecked "system spoofs signature" box to trigger the requst) and run
Code:
pm grant com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE
Thanks for the build, it seems solid. Some minor features (e.g. edge lighting, voicemail notifications) that didn't work on HavocOS for me work out of the box here. There are only two issues so far:
- The styles and wallpapers system app doesn't work: it won't open whether accessed from the launcher or in the settings menu. I can change wall papers and icons using the shortcuts from long pressing on the home screen, but not theme/colors (it crashes if I pick that tab)
- I cannot get file transfer over USB to work; the phone doesn't show up in Windows explorer. It's not my box or cable; the same setup works just fine for USB debugging or file transfer in TWRP. I had the same issue on HavocOS, but there swapping off file transfer and back would trigger detection, but not on this ROM
This ROM has less customization than some (you can't swap the navbar layout, for example) but this looks nice. I'll try this out as a daily driver for a week or two and see.

I fixed the USB issue by doing a reinstall and not using the stock kdz first (flashing directly to a fresh format). According to the dev, the styles app requires GApps, so it won't work if you use microG
I'm also having success with this ROM. I tried a couple of other (A 10 based) ROMs, but couldn't get the wifi to work despite loading old modems etc. Revenge appears to be fully functional (with the exception of spotty fingerprint access as noted above). For me the hotspot also worked straightaway.
Nice rom, simple whit FMradio application.
Installed on a freshly unlocked and rooted H930 with pico Gapps (open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20210130-TEST.zip). But I'm stupid, I saw the instructions afterwards, and I didn't install a recent pie stock rom after the root, I've install directly this rom.
The wifi and USB transfer does not work. The wifi can be fixed with the fix for Android 10 : see here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/q-wifi-fix-for-north-american-variants.4012635/post-83473401.
Can I flash a stock rom now? which one?

Everything is working perfectly, thanks for the guide. I installed the PixelExperience GSI but for some reason Fingerprint sensor is not working. The process is stuck on "Touch the sensor" and the sensor is not lighting up. Yes, I set the color of fingerprint sensor to White (and even tried all other colors).
I even have the following options checked
- Enable Extra Sensor
- Enable workaround for broken fingerprint sensor
- Enable workaround for white-ish screen
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

I don't know what could be the issue, maybe try to google or try disabling and enabling the fingerprint lock again.
I have tried few GSI Roms. Here is my summary:
Android 13
- AOSP, Android 13, No image with GAPPs pre-installed and cannot seem to install it. Tried NikGAPPs, and LiteGAPPs, both didn't work
- Google GSI, Android 13, same issue
- Pixel Experience, Android 13, GAPPs pre-installed but Fingerprint sensor won't get detected.
Android 12
- AOSP, Android 12, GAPPs pre-installed, Fingerprint sensor detected (changing color to white). Will stick to it unless there is an issue detected.

I got the image from AOSP under the official Android 12/12L section. You can find release here. The exact image I got is the system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img.xz one since the standard gapps one came with an app called "superuser" which I couldn't seem to uninstall (I tried the scripts to remove supersu). This caused my banking apps to not run. That is why I installed the "secure" one and then installed Magisk and added my banking apps to the defylist.

I think VoLTE was available as an option in one of the ROM I tested but I don't remember exactly. Currently AOSP 12 doesn't support it. Hotspot worked on every ROM just fine.

Hi Mian,
Thanks for your response. When I typed my question I realized that in the end I want to have and de-googled phone. So I changed my question in the direction of MicroG. I didn't expect you to be so quick with answering.

I've installed MicroG. But it seems AOSP doen't allaw support system spoofs signature. Play services (GmsCore) is installed but without the spoofed signature it can't do much I guess...
I have been using AOSP Android 12 for the past week or so. Most of the things just plain works but somethings don't. Here is the list of things that are not working so you can decide if the hassle of installing GSI is worth it or not.
- Proximity Sensor is worse than it was in OneUI. Yes, it is a virtual sensor but on OneUI, it worked better. Now, it is worse. More often than not, it turns on the screen during the call. It would have been better if it simply didn't work.
- The viewport of default camera App in the AOSP displays picture in 4:3 but the camera hardware is giving out 16:9, so the viewport was squeezed. After installing GCam everything is good.
- Fingerprint Sensor simply doesn't work in-app like those in banking apps. It works on the lock screen but nowhere else.
- USB Audio Devices don't work. I have a USB-C to A OTG where I used to insert my headphones. On OneUI they used to work but here they don't. Storage devices work.
- 120 Hz felt smoother on OneUI.
Hello everyone
I managed to install LineageOS with working GApps and camera using this guide, so a big thanks to everyone who worked on flashing this phone
If anyone wants to install it, you need to:
Chose a bgN package (I installed this one : https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN-vndklite.img.xz/download). It includes the GApps. You won't be able to install GApps after installing a vanilla (bvS / bvN) package. For some reasons, the /system partition is too small.
For unlocking camera and install magisk, just flash this kernel : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-12-13-a528b-n-mesas-custom-kernel-r4.4490653/
I also installed magiskhide prop conf module, but I'm not sure it changed anything and the camera fix was probably already in the MCK. You can find it here anyway : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...safetynet-prop-edits-and-more-v6-1-2.3789228/

Question Difference between STOCK vs LineageOs

Sorry for the ignorance, but I recently saw that the Lineage OS ROM for the Pixel 6 Pro has been officially released and I have some doubts.
I haven't installed ROMs for years (since the CYANOGEN MOD for the s7 edge) and then it was worth making the change.
But now, with the configuration that sells Stock ROMS for our mobile, would it be worth making the change? I remember that before when you installed the cyanogen, it lost camera quality, will it continue to happen? Another question I have is with the issue of payment via NFC, will there be any inconvenience at the same time as installing the bank's app and downloading the cards?
Thanks a lot for the answers!
I have lineage installed with safetynet-fix
I like it cause you can take an ota and not have plug the phone into PC, reroot etc. Camera is the same with google camera
It's a stable rom.

It's not officially supported but I've had it working on LineageOS (and 99% of custom ROMs) with the following (obviously you also have to hide Google Wallet in magiskhide or whatever your NFC payment is): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tion-x-7-6-1-02-22-2023.4546503/post-88225237
If you just want to flash LOS and not have root, you won't be able to use Google Pay or most apps that check safety net (banking apps, streaming apps, etc...)

continuation of cyanogenmod
is it worth it to flash LineageOS on Pixel? I mean on Pixel Phone are only Google Apps and not all the other Bloatware stuff.

Honestly, I wouldn't until after the P6P is no longer supported by Google. You may - not will - lose some Pixel-only features by installing a custom ROM, and of course losing Google Pay unless you root and install the Safetynet fix mod.

This and also trwp is still not available to make backups of the entire os. I am stuck on stock (which tbh im fine with since I have root and everything works fine). Wait till they officially discontinue the os for the phone.
I'm on stock A14 DP2 rooted. Some minor bugs, but nothing serous. One thing I very much miss from my previous phone is double tap to wake. Stock Google only allows single tap to wake, which is a deal breaker for me as there are too many unintentional wakeups that way.
I recently installed LOS 20 on my son's Oneplus 6, and double tap to wake is indeed present there. My question is, does that work for a P6/P6 Pro or would I be stuck with single tap or nothing?

That's a ROM function so you should have double tap capability if you install LineageOS.
Is there a difference between customization with lineage and stock? I've installed lineage on this phone before and i didn't see any customization options like cyanogenmod did on older devices. I noticed ricedroid and crdroid have customization settings for many things. So does lineage not have any customization or am I missing something here?
There is some customization, but it's low key compared to Cyanogenmod. Most customizations can be done with apps.
