[ROM][VS995] Extreme Syndicate (Testers Needed) - LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello All!
I am needing some testers for my Extreme Syndicate ROM. Mainly need help working out some bugs (theres only a few).
Disclaimer: This ROM is EXTREME and not for the faint of heart! I am not responsible for missed calls or exploding batteries or any other issues that may arise.
Included:
- Everything in NotSoStock ROM
- Rooted + Busybox
- Init.d Support
- Multi User
- Deodexed
- Hotspot
- V4A
- Google Dialer (broken)
- Google MMS
- Google Contacts
- Gboard
- Black Pixel Launcher
- Google Assistant
- High Impedence MOD
- More Debloat
- 3minit Battery MOD
- 3minit Clock MOD
- MORE TO COME!
Install:
- Must have TWRP
- Download ROM to phone
- Boot into TWRP & Flash!
Issues:
- Google Dialer fcs... Install 3rd party dialer from Play Store until resolved.
- Gboard might FC until you update it. I recommend doing so as soon as you can. Once you sign into Google account it should be an available update in Play Store.
- PC might not recognize as mtp (need to look into this further, adb should still work.)
Shout Outs:
- @me2151 & Team (Dirty Santa)
- @Tilde88 (NotSoStock Base+Kernel)
- More once ROM is 100℅ and moved to Dev section.
Downloads:
PM FOR LINK TO HELP TEST
Donate Link:
Available upon request but will be posted soon as the ROM is 100℅ and posted publicly.
Please leave a comment and/or send me a PM if you'd like to be a tester!

Bugs & Fixes:
1) Google Dialer - Still need a 3rd party dialer
2) Mobile Hotspot - (Remove Verizon Hotspot app and it should work fine, need more to confirm)
3) File transfer to PC - (I believe if you first connect a flash drive to phone then to pc it works, need to confirm with others)
4) Just found stock clock isnt removed - Need to decompile systemui and hide it so theres not 2 clocks when using 3minit clock
NO OTHER ISSUES REPORTED SO FAR

Ill test if you still need testers

I'll test it for you but not tonight since it's already near 2am and I'm going to bed soon. If you need a tester tomorrow night I'll be happy to help.

LOL sorry I'm a bad tester ><
I don't use a sim in my v20 because I have my sim in my old LG G3 because I tether for internet at home and have to keep my phone in a certain window away from my desk to get a good fast LTE signal and therefore if I keep my sim in the v20 I would rarely get to use it. So I just use wi-fi. And because I'm lazy and didn't feel like trying my sim in the v20 I can't say if the google dialer is working and I never thought to open the dialer.
So obviously I didn't test tethering either.
File transfer doesn't work for me but this is an issue I'm having on any vs995 ROM except my original stock backup. Perhaps you remember me talking about this issue with Tildle88 in his thread. I did confirm ADB working so I'm sure file transfer works. And since ADB works I'm sure I could use ADB push and pull to move files. I just don't get the option to swap USB modes. I'm wondering if it has something to do with me using the us996 ROMs and it's made something screwy. I think maybe in the future I should restore my stock backup and then flash the vs995 roms. I just don't worry about it for now because I like the us996 base a lot more than the verizon and all the USB modes work for me on the us996 ROM.
There were 2 clocks.

Tried it twice with both CW and RA and can't it it past the setup. FC's on me.
This is with the latest Z update from INC and the EVO Flasher.
Had to go back to my other ROM. I will try again another day.

i'm having the same troubles are you are. Even rewiped twice and same thing. I'll just keep an eye out for this one.
Anybody else getting a line error of like line 269....can't install busy box or something like that? (Sorry, was not able to write down the specifics at the time....if I try it again I will get all error information). It will work if you apply the fix, but it doesn't seem like it is complete and the internet connection is really slow.....may try to re-download the Z port rom in case it was bad....but I have tried all of Inc's roms and haven't run into this yet. Also, with the MYTOUCH port, it is really weird. I love the port, but if I sign into Google, it seems to know that I am on Sprint, and then the internet connection gets disconnected. If I leave everything anonymous, then it works.

I was having issues with reception as well.
Liked the rom, just needed to be able to make phone calls. Played a round in phone settings as well to no avail.
I've been running this for a couple of days now. It's AWESOME. I have had really no problems except for there being no camera. This is not a problem, but 3g shows a "1x" but thqt is probably because of the Verizon roots of this Rom.
All in all, the new sense is great and I really don't want to leave it. I might have to because I want the camera back. If you don't mind not having a camera, this is a daily driver for sure.
Does anyone know if a modified MAIL.APK has been made to allow for all the emails to be pushed from Multiple Exchange Servers?
The first one will setup correctly. But the ones afterwards only allow for sync intervals not push.
Also I have been getting sync errors with my Exchange Server with this particular MAIL.APK compared to the other ones. I might swap them out from another build. When i add more than one Exchange Account to any of the Z or HD Sense MAIL.APK's I get sync errors or contact and calendar sync errors.
The only reason I like to use the MAIL.APK is that the widget is tied to into this MAIL.APK.
I can use the EMAIL.APK from CM 6.1 and it works fine but doesn't have a tie in with the widget which I like.
Any thoughts?
loving this rom..its ma daily use now..waiting patiently for camera fix

Q&A for [ROM][5.0.1_r1][OFFICIAL][GPL] LiquidSmooth v4.0 - D850 - 12|8|14
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM][5.0.1_r1][OFFICIAL][GPL] LiquidSmooth v4.0 - D850 - 12|8|14. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Bluebooth
I am so glad Liquid Smooth has a LP ROM for the D850! I have tried a couple of other LP ROMs and Bluetooth always seems to be broken. I was wondering if anyone can confirm that Bluetooth is working, specifically with Android Wear. If no one has tested it I might flash this later today and test it.
Update - installed ROM and it looks like Bluetooth is a no go right now!
Update 2 - Uninstalled Android Wear and reset the GWatch and now they are syncing. Seems to have been an issue with Android Wear, seeing both the phone and GWatch would pair with other devices.

Np, doesn't bother me
If I was a user I would want to know why and as a dev I gave a straight answer
For right now I'm having to use terminal emulator to connect to data on boot "su" "killall rild"
This is sort of strange... Both on this ROM and CM I occasionally see a star on my status bar just to the left of the WiFi signal indicator. Anyone know what that is?

I think star means you silenced notifications, Google lollipop star
Or something similar since its a lollipop thing

This basically
Phone Call voice drops..
Anyone have a solution for this yet. About 15-30 Seconds into the call the call drops both parties voices and you can not here each other..... Thanks for any help. Also looked in Q&A no mention.
skype on LS v4.0
Anyone having trouble with Skype calling.. it drops after a few mins and when receiving a call it only rings once.. Is it skype or is it lollipop or the Rom?
But besides that its running awesome.. going to use it as my DD..
Great Job.. can't wait to see the tweaks you guys add to the Rom..
I changed the dpi rebooted and all was fine. I rebooted again and bootlooped. FWIW, had this problem with early builds of CM, but that was fixed a few updates ago.

Thank you, I'll test this rom at more when I'm done with finals
So by all means flame away if that's what gets you to sleep at night..
I just want to share my issues
I'm still a user.. not lookin' to switch.. just sharin' the problems I have
A lot of times when I'm on a call & the screen shuts off.. I have to press power to get it to come back on.. even double tap doesn't work
I've tried disabling "Prevent Accidental Wake" & that hasn't seemed to solve it
I see the settings option about disabling Immersive Mode Messages.. buuut no option to enable Immersive Mode
No custom Power Menu Granted that may not be a feature anyway..
I noticed in the OP System App Remover was mentioned.. I'm not finding that.. :-/
If I had to guess I would say the double tap to wake / sleep working reliably is a stock rom thing.. currently in the works for AOSP roms yeah ? Double to wake works pretty consistently.. buuut the Double to sleep only works as the CM status bar tap setting rather than anywhere
What else what else..
Oh so I've got Skype installed.. & every time I try to make a call despite hitting Always.. I'm still asked if I want to use Phone or Skype
I'm not *****in'.. I'm not upset.. this is a forum.. forums exist for the purpose of discussion.. so I am sharing my experience & grievances using this as a daily driver..
Oh oh oh uhh.. also.. I can't seem to get the phone into silent mode now.. only vibrate for the quietest

Lets discuss what we can do with our rooted V20!

Hey guys,
Its been a while since I rooted my phone (I've been using Samsung phones with locked bootloader) and it sure feels good to be back!
Now, I've been out of the loop for so long that I don't know what I should do next with my rooted V20!
I would love to have you guys come in here and discuss how we can make our V20 even better!
Thing's I've done so far.
Install Adaway
Remove Bloatware using titanium backup (is there better way to remove bloatware beside titanium backup?)
So far I removed all the TMobile apps, is there anything else I should remove that will improve the battery life?
Thanks and lets get this thread going! :good:

I hear ya, I was on a S7 Edge and a S6 before that. It has been a while. With that being said, LG stuff can mostly go....unless you use it. It doesn't seem to be too bad, so you might be able to leave them. Download Better Battery Stats and see what is causing any wakelocks that can be prevented.
Has anyone managed to get rid of Lookout? I hate that thing and want it gone.

Might want to FREEZE apps instead of uninstalling until a viable stock restore is available
Adblocking for sure. Should help improve battery life a hair by not downloading data for ads and processing them to be shown.

From what I've read, TWRP isn't doing proper nandroids, and there isn't a stock image to flash. At the risk of sounding "elitist," I'd recommend going slow.

I know what's in the root thread in the development section.
Is this what you're looking for?
The problems with the .tot files in a nutshell.
I'm not a dev. I can bearly muddle my way around ADB commands. I know what I know from watching the struggles in the root thread. Yeah, there's root and little else. The process doesn't seem quite ready for prime time which of course hasn't stopped the root commandos.
I CAN CONTROL THE WORLD WITH ROOT! LOL . No but really, what can't you do with root? you can do everything as long as the phone doesnt required to implement any new hardware within the phone... I like my Adaway, and greenify, and removes or freeze apps i dont like nor need, I like my pie bar for faster shortcuts (sure, the phone itself has the second screen to put up to 5 apps, but the pie bar give you a lot more options so i will have the 5 on the second screen plus the many mores in the pie bar which is a fast process too, maybe even faster than the second screen), i also like my xposed for every module i desire, AND MY BELOVED TITANIUM BACKUP! and many many more things
The one thing I hope and pray to see come from this newly acquired root is a camera mod that will allow 16MP in full 16:9. Please pull through devs! I would donate for that :highfive:

That's likely because the sensor isn't 16:9 shaped, it's 4:3. You have to crop the sensor to get 16:9.

I downloaded it and flashed it myself, and I like it so far also! And oh man, I had the Epic 4G on Sprint too... Those were some pretty wild days lol.
Ok, I have it now too. Had to manually check for an update. However, I am not liking it for one HUGE reason. All sound, notifications, calls etc are so quiet I can not hear them anymore from across the room. I basically have to have my phone in my hand to hear it and even then, if I am watching TV or anything, it is drowned out. Currently searching for solutions.

I actually didn't wipe before using Odin, but I used the regular CSC so the phone did wipe after the flash. One way or the other I wanted to wipe for a fresh start but I didn't realize that maybe I should wipe before flashing.

I recall this being a complaint awhile back with Oreo. I might hold off on the update until all these little annoyances are resolved.
I'm gonna give this a shot since I'm on Pie Beta already and T-Mobile hasn't roll it out to me yet.....WOW, 4.2GB
Finally...for Tmobile from ZRLG Beta

It's called "Final Frontier"
I used GxFonts to install it.
I was wondering if we could pinpoint exactly the advantages of the T-Mobile carrier Pie firmware for a T-Mobile user, as opposed to the U1 firmware? I know video calling, but I think I read somebody say something about RCS 1.0 and band 28 support? I guess I am trying to weigh those things against that wonderful built-in caller ID on U1 ?

We have band 28 (roaming) on U1 official firmware as well.

Oh cool thanks. I don't use video calling and I'm not sure RCS even comes into play much yet?
I got my OTA update Saturday February 16th and so far it's great; dark mode, auto restart, gestures, and UI improvements are just a few things to mention. The only two things that are a annoying is the removal of recent apps being sorted as a list I personally don't understand why they took this out and really hope they add it back. Second is the icons, Is it just me or the icons seem bigger? I've tried resizing through display settings and changing the dpi in developer settings, but nothing. Other than that Samsung did a fantastic job on this update

This is a fresh firmware you have to flash using the modded Odin. There's no need to update to any other versions so as long as you're on a snap variant - you're good to go!

Lg V20 review/modding guide mid 2019

This is my review of the lg v20 in 2019. It has received positive feedback on Telegram and Reddit, so I decided to post it here as well. I'm going to try to keep updating this as I go with my current mods.
The article will hopefully be updated again next week addressing the current constructive criticism I have received.
Hope this helps someone out.

Hi, nice post. Just what I was looking for as I am about to acquire a V20, a Korean version and I'm looking to mod it like my G5 with everything possible . First question - your article has a link to something to mod the secondary screen but the link is dead. Could you say what was the mod and is it still available?

That paid app, BoredSigns, has been discontinued and taken off the Play store since the developer no longer owns a V20. Its weather widget has been broken for a while, so don't expect that part to work. I have attached a screenshot of the developer's message on the Play store listing which you can only see if you already had the app installed earlier. You can still build the app yourself from its source on GitHub if interested.
I just bought a F800 model on ebay for very little which has a cracked screen and other minor problems. I'm not sure if it's F800 L or K or S yet and I won't know until I receive it. In any case I'm in europe and I'm hoping to do the works, root it, twrp it etc and maybe put a european software version on it. I'm not sure in what order I should go about this, would you have an opinion.? Should I root and twrp it first or should I kdz a different firmware first and then root it? As I write this I suppose it's logical to root it first, it couldn't make changing firmware version more difficult I suppose. Any thoughts appreciated. I'm totally new the phone so not sure what's possible.

I'm not familiar with the Korean variants, but I think this general thread on the F800 models should help you get started. The later pages in there will give you an idea of other users' recent activities.
Ok gonna have time to update my article next week.
What do you want me to talk about or clarified.
Thank you very much for this, it is very helpful to have it all together. In the light of this, I believe that it would be helpful if you advice people a bit about rooting, not the very basic, but what one need to be aware of, possible pitfalls in the process.
Partly because of your nice recommendations I have now rooted my V20 and installed most of your recommendations. Until now everything is fine

I want to try and flash back a h915 rom to see if its the camera config files that are the issue .

I just changed test settings from 15 min to 10. I left everything else as it is. (number of threads: 20)
It also surprised me, because I've had this phone for two whole years.
Made the test with airplane mode on. Maybe there's something wrong with the settings?
Also maybe it is because I am currently in a sort of cold room? (about 20°c)
Edit: Re-running test for 15 min. Moved to a slightly hotter area of the same room.
Re-edit: Changed thermal paste anyways. I'm going to check if it's better for me.
I have a new refrub and I got 85K. Defiantly let it run for over 10 minutes. I didn't see any red lines in the graph. I didn't play with any settings. I'm kinda disappointed which is ridiculous because I bought the paste in advance and I have a copper shim I was thinking of putting on it as well. I don't see any need to do it now so I'll leave it for the time being.
Are you guys looking at the max reading or the average? I got just shy of 100k when I was using the electrically conductive pad but average was still only in the 80s. The 2nd pic was the new one I replaced it with after I found out it was electrically conductive.
