I am using RR (cm13) since months, and it runs really great, but I am also looking to try a debloated stock imperium soon ?
Any comparisations are welcome.

I used imperium rom since I bought my LG g4... Some day ago I switched to cm13... Except some bugs like the switch 3g/lte that doesn't work automatically and the bug with encryption cm13 is more battery friendly and smoother then the imperium with the same application installed.

What future settings you get on cm expect the smooth, regarding a stock based rom can you be more detailed
These are my experiences based on months of G4 (H815) use with both stock-based (Imperium and Genisys) and CM13.
Stock-Based ROM:
- Amazing camera, especially if you can properly use manual mode
- Good audio quality
- Still has more bloatware than needed (even the best ones like Imperium)
- Slower security patches
CM13:
- Noticeably smoother and lighter
- More battery
- Camera is still very good but you lose manual mode
- Very fast security updates (like google nexus)
- Will soon be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat
- Zero bloatware
- Audio quality is slightly lower
Hope this will help you!
Ps: both stock based and CM13 right now are 100% stable, if you hear people having issue they either 1) Haven't clean flashed or 2) they don't have H815

I'm looking for a OS "upgrade" too, but I'm aware of losing camera features... With CM can you still shoot raw?

With some apps yes
This is the wrong forum/place for this topic, but I'll throw my 2 cents out there as well. Everyone's phone is different, so I will try to simply point out software only differences. Also not to try and repeat what "marn3us" stated above. Pretty sure H815 or H811 don't matter, not with the comparison below.
For me, I really like the following
STOCK:
-In call floating pop up. Simply best feature I know, have not seen it on anything else really. While other end is ringing or talking, you can multi task and almost instantly get back to the call when they pick up or you're done doing other things. Sure w.out that floating bubble, one could pull down the notif panel but I personally find the bubble a bit more convenient (esp how you can move it around).
-VoLTE. I have LTE everywhere I live, so I like to take advantage of that. Also WifiCalling if I need it
-Lockscreen. I love how it works. If I have my phone in my pocket and somehow the screen gets turned on while I am trying to pull it out, if I accidentally tap a notification it does not automatically open. Stock lockscreen requires one tap of notif + full swipe then it will open that notif app. No way of accidentally opening apps showing notifications. Non-stock, double tap any notif and it opens...some ROMs are worse than others, with a broken prox sensor allowing you to open notifs even with screen off in your pocket...making all sorts of pocket activity (calls/text/etc.). The stock way of 'Click + Swipe below' for me works great. Also the prox sensor works 100% on stock ROMs so 100% of time in your pocket it will never have pocket action.
-Lockscreen Pt2: Double-tap to wake/sleep. Works almost every single time. I love the dt2s on LS (some ROMS do have this but with the bad way of simply double-tap a notif to open [on non-stock roms] sometimes I'll double tap the notification instead of turning my screen back off...errr.)
-Data/Service. I find stock has a much better response to reception. In some dead-zone places (like a basement), I have very low service. With non-stock, I almost always lose service completely in same area. Then it doesn't come back until I airplane toggle/leave dead-zone. Stock seems to give better reception everywhere.
-Incom Call Pop-up: Very nice with the ability to simply hide the pop-up and let the phone keep ringing. I found on non-stock there is no way to hide the pop up (actually maybe by a swipe now I think about it, though does that decline the call?).
For me, those 4-5 things are the main points why I cannot use anything other than Stock. Also for me, stock works perfectly fine. No lag and everything just works (I clear recents and restart every couple of days). I try new builds of non-stock all the time, a day or 2 then realize I am missing my fav features above so then I go back. I recently found out the LG SmartWorld app allows you to theme some parts of the UI (icons, fonts, some colors, etc.)..combined with the Tweaksbox, you can do some good Stock changes.
I never really had a problem with lag/performance. I also always used the Imperium kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/kernel-imperium-kernel-g4-v1-0-t3282915 which seems to always do well for my phone. I also turn animations down to .5 in dev options, everytime I flash stock...makes it much quicker. I also know with stock, it's pretty much all optimized code for our phone...AOSP based miss a bunch of proprietary code which I think takes out some of the potential of this phone. Wish every company was like 1+, dev friendly.

1) proximity sensor works great in CM13 as well, it's just turned off by default
Also, lockscreen in cm13 is faster than stock (less touch/swipe) and nothing of what you described (like app opening in pocket or similar) can happen because you have proximity sensor AND you must input the passcode before doing anything.
2) Double tap to sleep and double tap to wake work perfectly fine both in stock and cm13, no difference to me.
3) Data/service signal is exactly the same, works great both with cm13 and stock. Maybe you had older modem/baseband when you tried cm?
4) If you get a call in cm13 and want to let it ring while using the phone you can simply press home button and it'll return to home screen like any other app (leaving the call in the background).
5) Stock roms are quite laggy (except for genisys that is decent and imperium which is very good) but CM13 is noticeably faster
6) Proprietary code has an impact almost only on camera (no manual mode and slightly lower "auto" camera quality) and audio.
This is not meant to criticize stock roms (I have used imperium for months and I still switch to it when i travel and want amazing manual pictures). I was just saying that not all of your points were very accurate.

Ok. Your phone is your phone. And passcode? When did I say I used one?
Everything you just 'defended' non-stock for, I disagree 100%. I made my points for a reason.
For my phone, what I said was accurate. If stock doesn't work for you like that then you got a defunct phone.

LOL, passcodes were invented for a reason
You look like a guy who doesn't pay much attention while reading other's posts so please stop posting here, we were trying to help the OP get *CORRECT* information to base his decision upon.
I said that both stock and CM13 work FLAWLESSLY on my phone and that CM13 does NOT have all those problems you invented. Thus, if your phone had those problems and mine does not, it is YOUR phone the "defunct" one, not mine (or you just made mistakes when flashing, which is more likely).
Let's not continue this discussion and focus on helping the OP please
Please this discussion need to be more detailed for app and settings that have this to roms cm and stock based with port features. in the end this is the reason for root or unlock our phone to get mor function and performance.
Cm13
1) nav bar 2 button for edit (menu-search)
2) no sound button on toggle panel (sound vibration silent)
3) double tap screen of only on status bar
4) theme yes
5) advanced reboot yes
6) ambient display yes
7) supersu on developer setting yes
8) lock screen only to buttons (phone-camera)
9) lock screen weather no
10) lock screen weather animation no
11) hide app no
12) one hand mode no
13) dualwindows no
14) fm radio no
15) file manager does not recognize usb otg
16) you can add other that I are not listed here
Sock based rom
1) nav bar 3 button for edit (capture+ Qslide-Dual windows)
2) sound button on toggle panel (sound vibration silent) yes
3) double tap screen of any where
4) theme yes
5) advanced reboot no
6) ambient display no

The biggest points for stock IMO:
One handed mode
Better camera quality and manual mode, the LG camera app really good takes fullest advantage of its hardware.
As for better sound quality, when I was using imperium Viper4android was included and CM includes AudioFX.
It might come down to better quality earphones.
CM 14 it´s out???

I have only run stock so far since there is no root for marshmallow which my phone had out of the box when I got it a month ago. It's an h812 Canadian variant which is good in one way... absolutely nothing preinstalled by my carrier (Koodo). A couple apps from LG, so almost no bloatware. I can't complain about the stock rom other than certain things that are annoying that aren't there on most custom AOSP or cm Roms (toggling sync on or off brings up a big read me that I have to agree to) and automatic prevention of hearing loss by always dropping my volume down.
I still prefer cm13 based like my moto x 2014 is running but I don't know if I'll ever have that option, or even want to since the camera is one of the few major improvements from my old phone.
---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------
Also to add...cm13 on my moto x and the other day helping my friend survey his property in the wilderness, very little reception and putting my sim card back in the moto x got me enough reception to run the tinder app, Facebook and YouTube which refused to load on the g4.
Not saying it's because of cm but the moto x was better despite having cm.
And the moto x is now my music player and the quality sounds better even on cm compared to stock g4 which gives me more reason to be able to try cm on the g4 since I don't use it for music as much right now anyway.
I like stock LG ui and with Genesis theme (UX 5) it's just marvellous
love stock for camera and stability. i would go AOSP if no more updates were avaiblefor my phone and the AOSP would make run better then i would.. iin my opinion AOSP for phones that arent no longer supported of end up in a rom that has bugs

I'm have slight buyers remorse, but I have a few more days till I can't return it for a full refund. I hoping to find out if any of the issue I have with the Note 3 or more accurately touchwiz will be able to be solved. I'm coming from a history of running customs ROMS on my galaxy S1 and galaxy S2, most of the time cyaogenmod. Lucky I find touchwiz has improved but here are my over all gripes:
Can't change the vibration pattern for notifications, most importantly text messages and emails. You can create customs patterns but they are only for calls. This is my biggest problem right now. And the fact that clearing a message from the notification bar doesn't mark it as read is annoying.
I would love on screen buttons, with this much screen restate it's a great phone for on screen buttons, I also find getting low enough to press the capacitive buttons with my thumb and still holding the phone a bit difficult and I think I would have no trouble if there was on screen buttons. - SoftKey Enabler, requires root- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatedevgroup.softkeyenabler&feature=search_result
Home buttons wakes the phone - Fixable by mod or wanam http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477150
Double home press open magazine - Settings in Magazine, gesture disable can be done by freezing magazine in titanium
Replace S Voice with google voice. - Freeze with titanium then use double tap to get to google voice
Remove all toggles from notification area, have all the toggles in the toggle pane
Remove the persitant icons from the task bar (blocking mode, smart stay, NFC)
All logs in phone log - fixable with app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.log.converter.ics
I really got used and liked the pop up/quick message window option that cyaogenmod had. I would like that along with the removal of chat bubbles.
I also liked black/Holo design, I sure this can and will come some how. Also we'll see how kitkat ends up looking...
How likely is it that my gripes with touchwiz can be fixed, yet still stay on touchwiz framework due to not wanting to lose functionality? I am aware it will require root and most likely a custom ROM, but if I was able to start out with just some modifications to stock rom, that might be a good start. I might find out but 1-4 are my biggest complaints. I love the note 3's hardware, but I'm hoping the roms/touchwiz won't push me toward the nexus 5....
One additional question, all these model numbers are confusing as hell. I have the N900W8, will that hinder my ability to use custom roms? Is it an equivalent to another model number? (X-Note is the only roms I've seen so far the explicitly says its compatible with the 900W8)

Edited with solutions in blue. I haven't tried them yet
If you open Magazine and hit menu, then choose Settings, you can turn the double home press off from in there.
The swipe from the bottom gesture can't be disabled short of doing something like freezing Magazine with Titanium Backup.

A fwlew of these things are easily fixed with xposed wanam module. You need to be rooted though. As for Google voice, freeze svoice (maybe you can just clear defaults, but I froze it) then when you double tap home, you'll be given options in what you want that to do.

looking how to change these. hmm
I recently switched from a Droid Turbo to a 6P for the sole reason of I needed the unlocked radio abilities that the Nexus line offers and I was unable to obtain with other phones. (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx I have plenty of threads on this around). Aside from the Verizon bloat and added software, I loved that phone.
The Nexus 6P is a very good phone on it's own, aside from the size, but I am having a few adjustment issues that some of you might be able to help me out with. I've read that most switchers from the Droid line of phones are unhappy with the Nexus Active Display compared to the Moto version. Just curious if anybody has found a worthy software that has been able to replicate or was able to port the Moto Display over to the 6P? I would be very interested and even willing to shell out $ to help that progress. The Nexus version just seems so unfinished. It very rarely wakes up upon movement and I really enjoyed how I could just wave my hand near my Turbo and I would get the time and notifications.
But my biggest issue with the software of the 6P is the fact that the bottom navigation buttons are software based and do not stay put or visible at all times. I hold the device mostly with my left hand in landscape mode and it doesn't matter which way I am holding it (the top is to the right or left) the navigation buttons are on the right side. If they would just stay put where they are supposed to be, on the bottom of the phone, I could easily use this phone one handed in landscape mode. But I cannot currently. The second part of this issue is the immersive full screen mode where they keep making my navigation buttons disappear! Ok, the screen is big enough, I do not need that extra 4 mm of screen real estate. Leave the buttons visible so I can use them please. I hate the extra screen tap and then delay to be able to back out. The video player is even worse, only allowing a small x to be pressed to back out. I've tried Immersive Full Screen Mode and a few others including Power Toggle but none lock the immersive full screen off. So does anybody know of or have a remedy to lock the navigation buttons and keep them visible? I'm also of the apparent minority that prefers the notification bar to always be visible as well.
Thanks for any help offered.
You may have to wait till some custom roms hit the scene. Sounds like a rom with pie controls would be what you seek.
Yea I was afraid of that. I was hoping there was another secret menu out there that allows control of these features.
I am annoyed with the stock messaging app...does a decent job, however it always crashes when attempting to access through the app switcher. I hate having to go back to the home screen to access my text messages.

acDisplay worked pretty well on my HTC One.
Looks pretty good, but it disables my fingerprint security. With it on I can press the power button and gain access or just swipe up. If I use the built in lock screen, after unlocking with the fingerprint, it still gives the acdisplay lock screen. Perhaps it just needs a marshmallow update to work specifically with this phone. I will continue to monitor it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'd load Xposed with gravity box. Keeps you on AOSP and you'll have PIE, and many options for the nav bar alone.
How does one get this immersive display where the navigation buttons hide? I'm curious about this feature
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
It's built into the apps. The Google Photos app, any video playback, a lot of apps and games that I have automatically go into it. There's also plenty of apps, I mentioned one above, that you can install and get immersive all the time. Be aware though, I got myself into a bit of a jam as it removed the back and home buttons and I couldn't exit a certain app.

So I got my grey Axon 7 yesterday and after a whole day of playing around with things, I have come up with a short list of things I would love to see implemented into a custom ROM. I do not care if it is a modded-stock ROM, enhanced version of CM- but these things would make my experience so much better.
1. Camera fixes - Specifically, the front-facing camera. If this can be done on the software side, that is my main concern.
2. Lockscreen - Please please please implement an always-on feature that works properly. Coming from the Moto X pure, it has been less than awesome having to press the power button to see a notification, or use the slow DTTW.
3. Get rid of that stupid bell! We all hate the bell. Get rid of the bell. It is not charming. It is not fun.
4. Enable on-screen nav buttons - The capacitive buttons are surprising decent, but I would rather use on-screen buttons myself.
5. Screen-on-time stats- Yes I know I can use GSAM or BBS for this, but there is no place in the huge menu of power options to see the actual screen-on-time for the device. Extremely silly.
6. This one is a long shot, but the double tap to wake is very very slow. This might be a kernel thing and farther down the line, but I would love to see the double tap activate faster.
Anyone have things on their wishlist? Post them!
Native notification badges.
When I swipe the drawer down, I wish the functions (wifi, bluetooth etc) would scroll left and right to access the rest.
Customizable quick settings would be nice. Including adding DND and other options to the options.
- Black/dark theme with this Amoled display
- optional on-screen buttons
- advanced usage of fingerprintscanner, like: flashlight if long pressed while in standby, multi-way scrolling (remember those HTC home buttons that had a scroll function integrated), gestures (quick cam access...)
- two colored dual led for better white tones
- improved cam software specially for low light environment
- aosp edition
- released sources for all proprietary devices like OP3 did

CyanogenMod / sultan rom with xposed module. The hardware is good on the phone but the software is mediocre. Sometimes I double tap and nothing happens or its super delayed. My OPO running sultan responds immediately on any double to wake. The fingerprint reader can be finicky.
I would move to the axon 7 fully Tomorrow if CyanogenMod rom was available. Right now I am just testing it out and contemplating whether to send it back.
Oh and I hate that dang notification bell. I don't understand the thought process at axon 7 that thought some things would be a good idea. The capacitive buttons also annoy me highly. They are too close together and not backlit. If in the future you want to use a custom ROM and use on screen buttons you'll still have those permanently viewable capacitive buttons there. That was terrible idea from axon. I wish I could find the person but who sitting at meeting and said "that's a great idea" and have a strong conversation with them.
The axon 7 is so close to being a fantastic phone but the software, poorly optimized implementations and capacitive buttons are really limiting to it.
Hoping custom ROMs come to the rescue. The screen and general hardware are all great. Even the camera could be improved through software. ZTE is really in an important time now to foster the phone. If they don't embrace that I think the axon 7 will be a "it was almost great phone" and forgotten. Remember the new Nexus is coming out soon so they will be soon overshadowed. Not to mention the op3 is still a great phone with wonderful software implementation.

- improved cam software specially for low light environment
- aosp edition
- released sources for all proprietary devices like OP3 did

You can have quick cam access with the fingerprintscanner if you dont use all your fingers for unlocking your phone...i am using my middle finger for example to quick open the camera...you have to go to settings - fingerprint- Quick open app.

The software can be better, and that's something that ZTE can actually change.
so they are blind or what? if this is from software.
@lcatel idol 3 6039h
My only wish is improve system and increase the battery, that's it.
I just got the phone and I'm not sure I would keep it as the software is really the weak spot. The OnePlus 3 software is perfect, it does everything I need and the OP's needs as well. The hardware isn't as feature rich as the Axon 7. If Cyanogenmod 14 comes out for this phone, it'll be a winner. Then we just need a CM14 based custom rom that would be great. Right now I would love to have the OnePlus 3 rom on the Axon 7. I could use the on-screen buttons or not and switch buttons as well as customize the function. That's what Axon 7 should have. ZTE is much bigger company than OnePlus they need to get their act together.
simple. just take this phone and make the screen 6 inches. add an FM chip, IR blaster, and wireless charging. Perfection!!!!
Edit:and a digital tv tuner like The Samsung Galaxy J2 DTV
Edit:UFS sdcard support
I believe the phone is perfect, but here are my thoughts:
1- The impossible one: Light up those capacitive buttons!!
2-Maybe give us the option for onscreen navigation buttons?
That's it.

That's called the Moto Nexus 6. AND it was too big.
But I agree with the other specs you mention especially the Qi wireless charging and IR blaster), just not the screen size.
Give a legit music player, the stock one is a terrible.

You could use ACDisplay in the meantime. It's similar to the Moto phones' notification screen, and it works great.
Camera updates
Kernel updates
Android n
Android n themed notification panel
Stock android lock screen
Ram optimisations & zram implementations.
Hifi dac and Dolby for all apps.
On screen buttons. My only gripe. Can't believe they won't even give the choice right now. Sucks that they will always be visible as well... Such potential but so disappointed.

So I got my grey Axon 7 yesterday and after a whole day of playing around with things, I have come up with a short list of things I would love to see implemented into a custom ROM. I do not care if it is a modded-stock ROM, enhanced version of CM- but these things would make my experience so much better.
1. Camera fixes - Specifically, the front-facing camera. If this can be done on the software side, that is my main concern.
2. Lockscreen - Please please please implement an always-on feature that works properly. Coming from the Moto X pure, it has been less than awesome having to press the power button to see a notification, or use the slow DTTW.
3. Get rid of that stupid bell! We all hate the bell. Get rid of the bell. It is not charming. It is not fun.
4. Enable on-screen nav buttons - The capacitive buttons are surprising decent, but I would rather use on-screen buttons myself.
5. Screen-on-time stats- Yes I know I can use GSAM or BBS for this, but there is no place in the huge menu of power options to see the actual screen-on-time for the device. Extremely silly.
6. This one is a long shot, but the double tap to wake is very very slow. This might be a kernel thing and farther down the line, but I would love to see the double tap activate faster.
Anyone have things on their wishlist? Post them!

hi,just wondering what kind of bell you mean?
This has reached a point that those who don't depend BT calling may be able to use it as a daily driver. Just be sure to backup first!
The flashing on first boot during setup may cause issues for those with epilepsy. This is due to how to disable the second screen.
Working:
Camera! https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.7Beta2.apk is recommended with Nexus 6 HDR config in advanced settings.
Bluetooth (skips with wifi, and doesn't work in call)
NFC
Wifi -- two users have reported issues on their devices, while it works for others.
GPS
Sensors
Sound
Calls
Fingerprint
Data
WiFi tethering
Second screen disable hack
Not working and issues:
Screen glitches on first boot. Reboot and will be good after (part of hack to disable 2nd screen)
Tap to wake
Flashlight tile: install flashlight tile for kenzo in play store with root to workaround.
Slight animation glitch when switching activities due to second screen hack.
BT issues above, and doesn't work in call.
If you use camera immediately after turning on, it may not work. You must wait about a minute after powering for it to work (it will always work after).
Probably more.
TODO
BT fixes
Tap to wake
flashlight tile
get a proper 2nd screen fix like v20 working without additional issues. v20 dtsi hack doesn't work for us due to dual panel depending on partial update (most likely).
Repos (kernel is lineage-15.1 branch):
Kernel
v10-common
h901
blobs
Changes from AOSCP
Using Ruthless launcher instead of Luna
Two reverts to support substratum themes in addition to CypherOS' color manager.
Use opengapps for gapps, magisk for superuser (may have issues with modules).
Download
Buy me a beer with Bitcoin: 1h9o1Ei9thLd8JKRz3z7PUGhX6dtfnktY
Bugs with workarounds:
Wifi doesn't connect and MAC address is all zeroes (only some users):
This is a misc partition that has MAC address hardcoded to a randomly generated address. This should work permanently on any device with the issue so long as two aren't on the same network. If anyone would like instructions on how to modify with a new MAC address, let me know.
Image https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056033811
Instructions:
Place on /sdcard
Reboot to recovery (for advanced reboot in CypherOS hold reboot button for full menu)
From twrp terminal or adb shell, run: dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc
Reboot and enjoy fixed wifi
No charging indicator (but still charges):
Boot device plugged into power or USB and the indicator will work the entire power cycle. Working on a fix but not as trivial as I'd hoped.
Bootloop bug:
I recently got hit by the infinite bootloop bug, with the only workaround of disabling the big cluster. Here's a modified TWRP that only uses the little cluster (used Eliminator74's image):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056035329
And here's a little cluster only boot image from the titan kernel (our CAF kernel has msm_thermal issues with booting with disabled big cores, needs modifications):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207491774
Just uploaded a new build with the second screen backlight bleed fixed (from v20 for liblights).
Recently bluetooth was broken, and I need to debug further. In addition, the future builds (not yet posted) will be using the "lineage-15.1" branch of the kernel. I had based the kernel for this rom off the g4 cypheros kernel, but that Titan kernel is very buggy and has far worse performance (jittery mess compared to los 14.1, realized it's kernel not rom). The kernel also had very bad data corruption issues (also documented on g4).
Man thanks for working on our near forgotten devices. I cannot test this much ATM until things get a tad more stable, but you have my attention!
Just uploaded a new build. This is using the lineage-15 kernel branch on my github, which has CAF merged in and is buttery smooth compared to the Titan kernel .
BT is now back to the g4 state at least (fixed for music, still has some issues), and incall mic is now working correctly (updated mixer_paths.xml).
For me this is a daily driver now, but I also don't need fingerprint, nfc, or some other functionality that is no doubt broken (not sure yet due to minimal testing). Enjoy!
PS: due to all lg v10 now being unlockable, I'll be doing some test builds for the other variants in the next few days..
Downloaded the rom on my H901 and flashed it. It seems to work okay, there were some screen issues during the initial setup. The rom seems nice but with some issues (like the ones mentioned above - missing second screen, etc). The screen is shifted down so I can barely see the navigation bar. If ya need some testing of some options, settings, etc - let me know.

Thank you! It looks like I messed up the init script in that build that's supposed to adjust the screen accordingly. Using adb, run the following (it's only needed once):
adb shell wm size 1440x2560

Thanks!. the screen now fits. However, I did seem to find another issue. Not sure why, but when I try to tap on the navbar buttons, only the upper half of that area works and the bottom half doesn't. Same thing happens with the statusbar. I think changing the screen size (or whatever else it could be) is making it so that the touch area is also reduced. I tried restarting it, but it still does it. Still usable but then that means i have to pay attention when I tap on the home button.

Thank you for bringing this up. I had forgotten and got used to it early on. I'll fix this today.
Just uploaded a new build. Changes:
Tweaked touch offset
Synced CypherOS to 6.0.0 (fixes navbar on first boot and removes some features)
Fixed init script to set display res (part of the second screen disable hack)
Updated Ruthless Launcher
Will give this a try with my V10 since I don't use it as a daily driver, can play around with it. Shame they couldn't get the 2nd running properly but no biggie. Also what firmware is recommended for this? Here is a pic of the current software/firmware it has
Edit: sorry about the pic, shows up portrait in my gallery but landscape on here
Update: after wiping in TWRP (v 3.0.2-0), install gave me an error 7
"E3004: This package is for device: pplus, v10,h901; this device is. "

Second screen is in the works for lineage on the v20, which we'll be able to use when it's ready ?.
Try twrp 3.2.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/twrp-3-2-1-h901-t3765971
Much thanks. Will give it a try and see.
Update: bingo, that did the trick ?
Probably sticking with stock rom on my v20. I rely on the Google certification for Netflix and my banking. Only have it rooted with magisk and no modules downloaded, passes safety net.

As previous poster mentioned, the navbar buttons only register the top half, bottom half has no reaction. During setup, popped up with wrong vendor image. I ignored the message, continued with setup. Lots of flashing graphical glitches and static screen. Using ruthless launcher, will test some more out

The navbar button one is weird and not as trivial as I'd hoped (but an issue with the 2nd screen hack). Regarding the glitches they shouldn't appear after the first reboot (in issues in OP).
May be all related to the whole screen aspect, when I try to swipe down the notifications bar, have to start the swipe gesture almost halfway down the status bar. With stock rom, youre usually able to start your swipe down gesture from the 2nd screen area.

It is. The touchscreen is disabled in the second screen portion of the display. The v20 style disable hack doesn't work for our panels, but they also disable the touchscreen in the second screen.
For that functionality, the best hope we have is the work into lineage second screen work being done for v20 which we'll be able to use.
Wow, this is a giant step for us H901 users!
Going to DL and test.
Am I able to revert back to my current ROM after testing this?

Yes, be sure to fully backup in TWRP prior to flashing, and then you'll be able to restore if the current issues are too great for you. You'll even be able to backup this ROM after flashing and setting up to switch between them as v10 issues are tackled.
On another note, I think I may have finally found the issue with the touchscreen offset (bottom half of navbar not working) I'll be testing today.
New build uploaded. Changes:
- Fixed touchscreen alignment. Bottom of navbar now works.
- Synced with upstream CypherOS
- Testing navbar theme settings from gerrit.
Hi, I'm looking for a suggestion on a ROM to replace my current one.
I've used Superman after trying all the roms available about a year or so ago. Now it's EOL and I need an Oreo rom. I've spent the better part of two days installing a bunch and setting them up and finding issues. I have a handful of features that I really would prefer to have, and can't find anything that lines up. I don't think they're over the top features, just can't find them together.
Here's what I put together for what I'm looking for:
Musts:
Stable
Magisk, or can flash Magisk with MoRo Kernel
Dialer has "places" tab to search nearby things
Most Samsung apps removed, no upday, no skype
Removed brightness and volume warnings
Fingerprint unlock on first boot - can't find a flashable mod for this
Network up/down speed on status bar
Call recording
Status bar/Tiles/System UI/etc work with Galaxy Themes
Can install http://tekhd.com/detonator/ T-Mobile CSC for Wifi Calling and VoLTE
Would prefer but can probably find alternatives:
Has reboot to recovery in boot menu.
Long press back button to end - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
would be nice if it were built in, but can work around
Dual speakers - could just flash: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/mod-dual-speaker-sound-mod-v4-0-oreo-8-0-t3787782
Ok without but nice to have:
Mobile data confirmations were also removed.
Selectable boot menu choices
Fingerprint from always on for unlocking when screen off
- is it really a battery drain? Superman had it and my battery was ok.
Swipe from right to pull down tiles
Only reason I want to stick with TW is the camera quality. Wish that didn't teather me to it.
Could anyone please suggest ROM's that have most of those things? Or alternative ways to get them that doesn't involve disassembling?
Thank you
