Can the LG V20 camera be ported into CM LineageOS? - LG V20 Questions & Answers

I love both types of roms Stock based and CM or AOSP based. But for the CM or AOSP based i always find myself with the dilemma of not being able to use the camera that came with pretty much any stock rom from samsungs or LG (which means there are some features that would be lost if i go to CM/AOSP such as manual zoom)>>> I know the camera is usually linked to the UI and framework of the device. But,,,, is there a way? I would love to bring the camera with me if i decided to jump into the LineageOS wagon.

Just curious, why not? I have seen framework packages for the moto camera. I'm currently on a Nexus 6 but need up replace it so was looking at the LG V20 but will need my LineageOS.

I believe one of the devs that has been working on getting the 2nd screen working on AOSP has stated he looked into porting the camera and said he didn't dig to far because of the way the files are interlinked together. Not sure if it's possible but just too much work or what but you can ask him
Here's the thread

Heres the thread

HA! i totally forgot i was the one that created this thread hehehe. But yeah i figure it would be very troublesome to manage to port it into LineageOS.

GPE Roms not receiving enough support?

I find it odd that there is not a single GPE Rom with added features or toolkits (like Sense 5 Toolkit for ARHD 22.0 Sense ROM).
Als, none of the GPE ROMs have OTA capabilities. If someone is able to walk me through, I would love to use one of the system dumps or Bigxies stock roms to create an OTA capable GPE ROm. If this is against forum rules, let me know Mods.
Did you look very hard?

One of the best roms in my opinion. There is no ota, but the customazation settings are there with the included gravity box toolkit and the xtheme engine. Check it out.

Probably because we have CM/PA if you want a custom stock Android experience

That would make sense, except that both those roms are having their fair share of camera based issues. I love CM, but cannot stand the mediocre camera performance. I love PA even more, but the camera issues remain.

True, but those AOSP based ones aren't as optimized as the GPe. I would rather take a stable and fast experience over a laggy and customizable experience any day. I love the AOSP ROMs, but the GPe is for those who don't want to be on the bleeding edge.
On a side note, the AOSP support for this device isn't that good either. Compared to my old GS2, there was tons of development going on as far as AOSP goes. That might be due to the fact that TouchWiz was terrible (still is). I am 100% satisfied with my One converted to GPe. Plus, when 4.4 comes out we will get a stable OTA in around 2 weeks (based on previous updates) whereas CM will still be in its unofficial stages by then.
Install the Xposed framework and then gravity box. It brings a lot of customization to GPE.

Lg g3 stock camera

Has anyone discovered the lg g3 stock camera codes? It would be useful if we can get a small team to work or if there is another team we should help them more. Please write any comment or ideas to get this stock camera available for custom rom. It would be appreciated from a lot of people.
yes please if only there's a way to port stock camera drivers to aosp-based roms i'm pretty sure everyone would be grateful
That's why I want to get a team started on it.

yes. From what I've seen you need LG stock framework included in stock-based roms for the camera to function at is best. AOSP drivers from Google are nowhere close. If there's a way to port the stock framework over...
I not sure, please find other xda developer that can help us,because I don't want to say something does not real or that's a maybe
Please guys, use the search fonction of the forum...
Many people ask many time if it's possible to port stock camera, but we can't than we don't have lg source code !
look at this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/devs-only/camera-hal-caf-t2981136
Is anyone trying to get those codes?
I think everyone is in agreement that getting the stock camera ported over to AOSP would be the biggest news since the release of the G3... it's the primary reason people keep going back to stock (well for me anyway) but I've given up at this point...
I so agree but we need to figure out the lg sources
Only LG can share their source, and they will not. We ask them for the source since there are AOSP rom on LG G2...
You can do petition or what ever you want, but only LG have the knowledge for that.
Can we not figure it out by modifying the camera or we can ask the source provider to tell us or something like that.

Any nougat custom ROMs?

Thanks for this thread. This is exactly what I've been wondering too. I am on CM based RR ROM and even though the idea of using nougat is quite appealing I'm not sure how much it's worth the whole hassle, specially given I'm too used to RR's huge set of features.
I'll check back to see if someone's answered, and surely post back if I've struck luck with a custom nougat ROM, though I have a feeling it might take some time before a custom athene ROM such as CM or CM based rolls out, and prolly it's worth the wait if I don't have to go back to stock ROM for just a few odd extra features which have largely been ported through mods/apps and implemented in custom ROMs already.

Agreed.
It will take a while for people to start working on Nougat based ROMs. From what I understand, devs are still perfecting the CM bases MM ROMs, which requires a lot of time and effort.
I don't see any Nougat ROM anytime soon, at least not as a stable daily driver. I'm sure our devs are equally thrilled but let's wait it out a little!

Building Stock AOSP 7.1.1

As the title says, I'm going to under go changes from LineageOS to stock AOSP. So hopefully I can successfully build stock AOSP 7.1.1 for the v20 US996 and hopefully more. I will be needing testers once I'm finished with the device tree and kernel.

Why did you stop with the other? How about some Resurrection Remix love? Be nice to have a fully feature non stock rom like RR. Regardless, thanks, and i'll test for ya. Of course I have verizon though. I know you said us996.

Thanks man I love that your my tester, and I wanted to try something a bit different mainly to test my skills throughout. I actually just synced RR repo and left it to build but I won't know the outcome till I get home from work. But I really wanted stock AOSP on the v20 with a working second screen, seeing HTC just announced there HTC Ultra with a second screen I hope they release the API for it so it can be reversed engineered to work with the v20, you know how cool it'd be if the v20 had stock AOSP 7.1.1 with the second screen working and having substratum theme engine onboard... It's a dream bro. But definitely will build for your device once I get everything working.

I'm with you man. I've always been more of a pure Android based ROM guy myself. Never been much on the OEM stock ROMS once the AOSP, CM, etc. Based ROMS got stable. Someone definitely needs to figure out some sort of solution for the second screen on this thing though because the current solution isn't a very good one.

Yeah I think someone mentioned that they were going to create an API for the second screen, I wish them all the best and hopefully it goes through. But I rather stock AOSP than CM/LineageOS ... I might also try to build AOKP just to see if that builds...

Custom ROMs for H990DS

Hi guys,
Now that we have root in our H990DS, do you know if any custom ROMs is being developed or ported to our devices?
What are your expectations? Do you think any ROM is coming anytime soon?
I am particularly interested in AOSP based ROMs.

I too am waiting for a custom rom as it would make things a LOT easier BUT i dont think anybody is interested in making roms for H990ds version as not many know that it has been rooted and even if somebody wants to the H990ds model is extremely complicated with secondary hardware and what not. The best hope we have is to request @emdroidle as he was the one to achieve root and by now probably knows the phone in and out.
Personally i feel, being on stock is more advisable... camera and sound are important factors that made us to choose this phone, Especially,,,H990DS has more features like B&O play and no other versions has this feature enabled...May be it would take some time for this development...
I too like AOSP, Yes...may be we need to wait...
A custom kernel with this stock rom would also make this device great...lets wait...
I really hate the LG UI and I can't believe they are able to make this phone lag sometimes. Am a big fan of AOSP/Google UI.
I will surely miss the Quad DAC and camera features, but I am already using google camera most of the time anyways. And Idon't care about the second screen.

LineageOS 14.1 is being worked on the for the H990DS. It requires a few special hacks and tips to get working, and they're also working on a way to get second screen support going too. I suggest you follow that thread and express your interest in the H990DS builds to encourage more development. Its been in the works for months now. Only thing they're unsure about is the DAC support as that uses proprietary code and they don't know where it is.

You haven't heard of D.O.T.S? Or the mk2000 kernel?
have you tried superv20, it's not really a "custom rom" but a customisation of an official rom for a "better user experience".

Hey, can you in brief share the steps you used to go from stock to SuperV20? That would be really helpful.
From what I understand, 1)Downgrade to 2016 firmware to root using dirtysanta and twrp with it.
2) Flash Super V20 using twrp.
Is that right?
Yeah, I want to know the steps you took as well. Also, what exactly is the SuperV20 ROM? Is it just something that looks like LG's UI and makes it faster, or is it a completely new UI? Also, does it have the capability of using the V20's second screen and quad DAC? Send screenshots of the UI if you can. Thanks!
