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 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.

Hi,
I have a zoostorm 3305 that I want to get an external 3g dongle working on. After googling I believe i need to root it first, but I'm new to rooting, and not sure what software/drivers i need and where to get them. I would love some help if you have any on offer.
Cheers
Andychat..
how good are these ?
speed in general
Speed of keyboard popping up when in chrome ?
viewing angles (I totally hate poor viewing angles)
updates
I am more than happy with the speed. Keyboard delay pop-up can sometimes be slow.(its usually when emails are being synced). I improved the touchscreen response by using an app to recalibrate it. I think its hindered by the supplied screen protector.
The only thing I can't do is mobile 3g internet. I think I need to root.
I'm. Awaiting I bit of help from the guru's on this forum.
Cheers

I don't think they are bad. I don't really watch TV or movies on it. It doesn't seem any worse than my Samsung so phone.
Not sure if this helps you much. I would recommend one if you don't have the finances for the Samsung Tablets or the ipads.

I did have the Gemini JoyTab 9.7 Duo
I RMA'd it cause as soon as you tilted it slightly right the whole right side washed out
it was so bad that even flat direct ahead you could see the start of the right side polarize wash out with what must be only a few degrees off centre
fine all 3 others ways, I though mine my have been faulty till I went in to a staples and checked their display model, exact same issue.

I sent you a PM via YouTube (Sorry), couldn't post on here for some reason but sorted now.
I have never rooted Android (very new to it) and can't find anything solid about rooting Zoostorm Playtab 10" Tablet. I really don't want to brick it.
I was wondering if you may be able to help me as it sounds like you have rooted the Playtab successfully?
Do you have any links to or name of the guide / firmware you used for the root?
Has the root improved the overall performance of you Zoostorm Playtab as mine can often freeze or delay mid use with the stock firmware?
Cheers mate.

I'm new to Tablets so not sure how useful this can be because i havn't used many others but...
speed in general is quite good however it seemed to run faster when it was new and "fresh" but now having since installed more apps, it seems to temporarily freeze mid-use e.g. going through settings tabs, launching apps etc. I often get a "not responding" message and choice to wait or quit. Waiting seems to work but as this is happening more and more, it's a concern and hence why i'm looking to root.
There is sometimes a 1 or 2 sec delay with keyboard popping up (not sure in Chrome, i'm talking general use). Its not a problem for me.
Viewing angles are reasonable to me but you can see it wash out when looking from the sides but I tend to look at it straight on anyway.
To be honest you get what you pay for (currently £114-£120 on Amazon UK / eBuyer) and it's not bad at all, especially if I can figure this freeze issue.
Hope this helps.

Not sure if you sorted it but these tablets are pretty unbrickable as are most RK3066 based tablets, I've done more wipes & reflashes on this tablet than I care to remember.
You can try to flash the original ROM from here - http://downloads.zoostorm.com/drivers/android/PlayTab/
I did manage to flash a build of CyanogenMod 10 based on another RK3066 tablet on this tablet but it wasn't really what you would call stable, it had screen rotation bugs, random reboots plus Wifi wasn't working at all & as I'm not a developer I soon reverted back to stock, for the most part the tablet runs pretty well with it's stock ROM, 3G works well with the PPP Widget app etc.
It was either this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/39750-romgenerickmod-jb41cwmzip-for-pipo-u1max-m11/
Or this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/41777-romcyanogen-10-for-rk3066-wip/

I'm really digging mine too. Most times when opening Dolphin browser or other browsers it will hang for 5-8 secs sometimes. You guys get that? only think that pees me off really.
If we could get it a tad snappier, would be great too!
How do I get flash on this thing?
I've also got the freezing issue occasionally, not sure what causes that.
My main issue at the moment is I can't use "OpenVPN for Android". It claims it can't access /dev/tun so it doesn't work (ticking the box to fix this in CM doesn't work as it's not rooted). Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Freezing is caused by software trying to access root imho. Avoid software that needs root access.

jcase has already stated that 3.0 is not intended to support Moto phones. I think it's for the HTC phones only. Not to say the Moto phones may unintentionally benefit from the update, nor that there isn't a "version 4.0" coming later on, so I agree with you on waiting to take any updates whatsoever. Please do post all over every Turbo forum thread if 3.0 works when it's released. I mean, borderline spam the entire forum to let people know, lol.
I was planning to wait to get the phone until an exploit is found, but with updates coming out-of-the-box it may not be long before the stock of phones at 21.21.12 are gone and stores start stocking the phone with 21.21.15 already installed, so I'll be getting a 64 GB tomorrow afternoon.
I find it very odd that there is no information online as far as what the .15 update affects (supposedly not the VoLTE update).

I rocked .12 for the first 8 hours, then finally updated to .15 - right after updating to .15 a number of updates not available previously in Play became available for the Camera app, looked to be darn near every Verizon app, and a few other tid-bits... only thing of real note was the Motorola Camera app getting an update that didn't exist prior.
The camera also showed better performance with the update, especially in the neighborhood of noise in shadows. As well, battery life seemed better, but that could be the phone getting a proper charge / battery level reading.
The 15 update fixed my IMS issues I was having. On 12 my IMS wouldn't register but on 15 it works flawlessly.

Try texting someone nearby. See how long it takes for you to receive a message. In my tests it took around a minute to receive a text without IMS and it took mere seconds with IMS.

The main reason I need IMS is at Badger football games at camp Randall, the legacy spectrum is over saturated and won't allow me to send SMS without IMS. The LTE network can handle it however.
Many of you know exactly what "oversharpening" is... for those who not, just google "g3 oversharpening" or check this article.
After hours spent trying almost everything i finally managed to remove that. Check in the 2nd thread to see the difference.
Here you go... just flash the kernel in recovery but remember to make a backup of the boot partition before, just in case it will not works.
Remember... the only weird thing is that you have to turn off the screen and then on again to make it works. Just the 1st time after the boot.

I have down loaded and applied seems to work fine will run some more testing later... It does cause the phone to "hang" at the LG Splash screen for a few moments longer then normal. Just a heads up for other people that flash this.
:good:
I posted in the original G3 Development thread but also posting here to say, yes it does work. I was one who noticed and didn't like the effect. May be unnecessary for some but those who had complained about the sharpening will definitely appreciate this.

This definitely has gotten rid of the over-sharpening so excellent job in that respect. I've had two random hot boots so far since I flashed this and also noticed that the phone hangs at the LG boot screen for about 30 seconds before the LED starts cycling through the colors and the AT&T splash screen comes up after shutting off the phone. Any ideas on either?

pulling up websites with a black text/white background and hitting the url bar was the easiest way to reproduce for me. This forced the background to go grey and every letter on the page would show the white halos from the oversharpening.
Heya!
So i just got this Nvidia tablet with blisspop/lollipop or whatever it's called already installed.
Now i've been trying to read through some of the threads on this page but it honestly feels like im reading a different language.
I've noticed the Nvidia power options is gone from the tablet and since im lagging pretty bad often when playing games although not all the time, i'd like to fix this.
I thought the best option would be to increase my cpu usage, do you guys have any guides or tips for me on how i could do that?
Thanks in advance!
honestly, the kernel included in blisspop is plagued with odd behavior.. hangs, audio skips, and weird lag that comes and goes without reason...
some say it works fine for them, but myself and many others have had this issue... so, that is probably your problem.

I understand, is there anything i can install which works better? or am i stuck with the current "kernel" as it's called?
Sorry, i'm not familiar with the contents of blisspop and such.
you can try the official firmware, but if you bought the tablet with blisspop installed on it already... it is probably killswitched... so you need to follow the instructions here or risk breaking your tablet for good.

I'll check it out!
One last question; if i just use it regularly as i've been doing, will it actually just not work after some time?
Edit: i checked my serial number and it said "Next OTA: ST - yy (urgent)" so im guessing it's killswitched

yes, just be sure to remove the ota app as instructed in that post to ensure it won't get delivered.

I assumed the Killswitch is something that deactivates my tablet if i dont do anything to fix it, hence why i asked if it wouldn't work after a while if i didn't do anything about it.
I'll try to follow what the thread says. Thanks for the replies!
the killswitch could kill your tablet the instant it connects to the internet.
make sure you remove it BEFORE you do and you won't have any issues from that point on with anything.
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.
I smell a brick about to happen. Way too fast....How would you recover ? Be careful people.....Paperweights are not fun
I just read somewhere At&t has a locked bootloader...Figures

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.
At&t didn't even have the HTC 10 when I went in. The good days are dying....Root, I will miss you

yup, they passed on the HTC 10
I haven't gotten the phone yet (though LG store has already called me that I can get it already just been busy due to all saints day festivities) so wanted to ask, how did you root your v20? and what version is your V20?

So your saying LG doesnt have an app to reflash to stock FM? i see threads for the stock T mobile firmware. What about the nandroid issue with twrp do you know where the github repo is for our version of twrp i'll check it out.

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.
