Hi, I got a problem with fingerprint sensor since buying my phone (it was bought as used). Seller did a hard reset before selling phone claiming that fingerprint sensor was fully working. I was trying to add my fingerprint. Sometimes it worked, sometimes I saw error saying that my fingerprint sensor is not working and I should reboot my phone to fix that - of course it didn't help. Hardware test (*#06*#) sometimes showed proper version of the sensor, sometimes 0.0.0.0.
So I tested few custom roms, but it didn't fixed my problem. It actually made it worse. Before testing custom roms I was able to find 'fingerprint' app/service in all apps. I couldn't find it on custom roms so I came back to newest stock, installed all updates and updated all apps and still I can't find this app/service/whatever it is.
Is there any way to get this back or something?
If you used aosp based custom roms then they wouldn't have had the fingerprint service.
What rom should I get to make this work?

Is 5.0 G900FXXU1BOE5 stock? I got this one currently but I still can't find 'fingerprint' in all apps.

Sounds like it, try doing a full reflash.

Full reflash is wiping data in recovery then flashing ROM with odin? I did it and still nothing.
EDIT: Ok I got it now in all apps. However hwtest says fingerprint's version is 0.0.0.0 and I can't add my fingerprint in settings. Any advice?
Hi everyone, I have a nexus 6p still running 6.0.1 with an unlocked bootloader, I got the notification for the 7.0 update, but I don't know if I can install it with the bootloader unlocked. Is it possible or do I have to lock the bootloader first?
Yes, bootloader can be unlocked. If you have modified system in any way, it may not apply the update though. I.E. if you are using twrp or you changed any system files.

My bootloader has been unlocked since the day I got my 6P. I restored back to stock MM today, flashed the newest TWRP and joined the android beta pgm to get the N OTA. Worked like a charm, no issues whatsoever.

Just so I can make sure I pass on correct info for the future, the OTA installed by itself with twrp installed? Or did you push it via fast boot?
I went a different route and installed Nougat via a ROM (tried both Stock+ and digital Hugh's versions), so for me it was hardly any different than installing any other ROM.

Yes to the OTA installed with twrp installed, it rebooted into the twrp recovery and then did some patches, etc. rebooted updated apps and hello nougat! I did have to reflash twrp after I booted back up, it did wipe it out.
I was debating about flashing digital Hugh's rom, how do you like it so far?
Good to know, thanks.
I've used aosp based Roms for so long, stock took a little getting used to. But I don't know if I will be going back to aosp now.
Digitalhigh's ROM is very smooth, and it's setup "out of the box" to allow root and android pay (albeit you have to toggle root off when you want to use AP). That's one feature I've always missed out on W aosp.
That said, there are a couple small issues some people are experiencing, clock updating the time only every 3-5min, and some having issues with vipermod not working system wide. I haven't experienced any of those. Plus he's already working on an update to allow for centered status bar clock as well as some other features.
I personally recommend giving it a shot if you want Nougat, worst that happens is you have to nandroid restore a backup.
*Edit* and he already has the night mode built into it, as well as the new nexus launcher if I'm not mistake.
Wouldn't let me attach this in an edit for some reason. That's with 4 hours screen on time, only reason you see that little charging bump is i was backing up a few files to my PC.
Thanks for the answers, just tried to update and everything was installed :good:

Thanks for the detailed reply, you may have pushed me over the edge and I may give it a try. Ive been on Benzo rom across my last 3 phones and got used to all the goodies. But using 7 the last day I find it; very fast, been a fan of Pay when it worked with systemless, can't comment on battery yet but seems decent. I may give it a day or 2 and flash digitialhighs rom, it seems like it gives me Pay with minor hassle and is close to stock. Again thanks.
So I wanted to update to Android 8 but when I do it restarts in TWRP Recovery. I don't know what to do then so I was like: Hey I just unroot my phone and then return to stock recovery so it can install the update normally.
Well, when I uninstalled Magisk with flashing the Magisk Uninstaller my phone was very slow and everytime I entered an app it got stuck and I had to close it. The keyboard didn't work anymore so I tried to go into setting and then on "Virtual Keyboard" but then it got stuck when I pressd on "Virtual Keyboard". My assumption was that the phone has a problem with my keyboard because I flashed the iOS 11.1 zip by Ricky Bush some while ago to change my emojis.
Does someone know where the problem is?
I rerooted my phone with Magisk and now the apps are working again.
right now you are on stable or beta build ?
if you are stable wait
just dnt update yet
if using beta (OP2) probably
just dirty flash full ROM zip of Oreo
it would work
What exactly do you mean? Beta of what? Of the OP5 or Magisk? Sorry I'm really not into all this stuff.

Dear friends,
Here is what I found after one full year of using this device. This is not intended to be used as installation guide. Please reffer ro appropriate thread for that.
One confession: I'm a flashoholic.
- It has a great camera setup. The images are rarely rivaled even by Galaxy S8+
- Removable battery!
- It has 3 main issues: LCD ghosting/burn-in, GPS connectivity and erratic fast-charging.
These issues made this great phone dirt cheap. Luckily ghosting and fast-charging are software issues (or software fixable issues) and GPS can be fixed.
ROMs:
Marshmallow stock is blazing fast. I'm actually using it now after having tried all other, including Oreo. Fast-charging has not issues here and the ghosting can be fixed by using sFilter Lite. Just set it to black, 10% (you'll get it)
Nougat stock is the slowest I've used. Battery hungry too. It also features notification delay which was unacceptable for me. Nougat introduced the fast-charging issues on some G5s. If you like Nougat, go for Fulmics 5.5 (thank you @xpirt) or H-Rom H30 Port 3.0 (thank you @Astrako). These are beautiful and great. Also, don't forget to flash mk2000 1.5.5 kernel (thank you @askermk2000). It will fix the fast-charging and enable you to use Kernel Adiutor to set Screen to 238 R/G/B to fix ghosting without overlay (sFilter).
Lineage 14.1 is the most stable of all the LOS/RR family. The only problem for me is the camera. You can install GCam port, but it will not use the Laser Autofocus which was to much of a compromise.
Lineage 15.1 and RR 6.2.1 are feature packed and fast but with small niggles might bother you. Make sure you flash these with Nougat bootloader as it will not boot with stock Oreo bootloader. Note that this may soon change.
Oreo stock fixed fast-charging again and restored some of the speed and battery life Nougat lost, but it is not as fast as Marshmallow and, for me at least, it has notification lag issues. I have 7 e-mail accounts and I can't have this. Make sure you install mk2000 2.0 (check for latest) for ghosting fix. Also, try the amazing new H-Rom.
Check out the thread about GPS Issues to demystify them... or just squezze the top right of the phone when you need GPS.
I'm happy with my LG G5. It is trully an amazing device!
Waiting to see how the Project Treble will work out.
That's it from me for now.
Hold up.. How do you remove ghosting with mk2000 kernal..
Otherwise great little review
Mk2000 kernel supports color calibration. You then just need an app to tune the kernel, such as Kernel Adiutor, to set the RGB values and remove ghosting.

Just set R/G/B to 238 in Screen section of Kernel Adiutor. Ghosting will be gone.

It took me a year to find and test everything. That's why I decided to share.
thanks for the tip, i never experienced MM as bought the phone around 6 months back, but for me oreo is very snappy and smooth
the 2 negatives for me are: -
1. GPS, we all know the troubles with it, weirdly oreo helped, but its only decent outside, inside forget it..
2, fingerprint scanning, dont use it now..back on 7.0 it sometimes worked..but more often than not i would get an error saying not working or something,
now on 8.0, i cant register a print, get an error about enrolment...i just stick to pincode so its not a problem
1. I am using my H850 for 2 years and have seen burn-in only for one single day (about half year ago), after that it just vanished an I have never seen ghosting anymore. My brightness is always set to 100% and I have never used any color filters or custom kernels with color calibration features on my Fulmics 4.5 (exactly 4.5 version, because I am too lazy to update it and it works just good, but I don't say that new versions is bad).
2. never had any problems with stock Qualcomm fast charging on Nougat. Speed of charging is the same as speed of Power Delivery for iphone 8. Don't understand what are you talking about, guys...
3. there is very laggy expanding and scrolling in notifications list on Nougat ROMs. Yeah, it is true.
4. russy23, my fingerprint scanner successfully scans in 99 cases of 100. G5 has not the fastest scanner on the market, but it is very accurate. But maybe it is just my skill, because I am using smartphones with back-mounted fingerprint scanners since 2014
5. can't say anything about GPS, I don't need 1 meter accuracy, so GPS on my G5 just works when I call a taxi and that's fine

You need to flash mk2000 kernel. I suggest version 1.5.5
Reboot to TWRP, flash mk2000 and wipe cache/dalvik, reboot and you will have Screen in Kernel Adiutor

That's strange. Make sure you have the latest TWRP 3.2.3.1 as you are on stock Nougat, not LOS based rom. Also, try redownloading the file. Maybe it is corrupt.

Strange indeed. I didn't have any issues even with encrypted stock and believe me, I flashed a lot. I'll look into it.
Edit: Some people report issues with Magisk, bu you are on SuperSu.
If you don't like experimenting with instaling Magisk (removing SuperSu), then you can install sFilter Lite and enjoy. See above for details.

I saw your post in mk2000 thread. Great!
For those of you who are on the Open Beta version of OOS, what has your experience been like?
Has anyone ever experienced bugs so severe that the software doesn't seem daily-driver worth?
I'm thinking of switching from Stock since the security patches are more up to date and updates in general are more frequent than Stock as well.
However, the word 'Beta' in the title does slightly concern me as I still would like to have an OS that I can rely on. I don't mind a few small bugs here and there, but nothing to the point that stops primary functions of my device (i.e. calls and sms).
Any insight would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
I used beta 8 and now I'm on beta 9. No issues.

They're not typical betas, all the significant bugs are worked out in their internal alpha testing, or whatever they can it in house. Basically pre-release of the official builds

They run a closed beta prior to releasing the open beta so most bugs are ironed out early
I've been on the open betas since OnePlus 3,now on 6T, never had any problems that I can think of.
The very early betas ,1,2,3 of a new Android version are the ones with bugs,the further you go,the less buggy it is.
Overall very stable now,no problem,you won't regret going to open beta
Appreciate your feedback guys! Its been all positive too so it seems like I will most likely be switching to Open Beta. Now I just need to find a day and time to dedicate the switchover as I've read it requires a clean flash :silly:
They are not that much of a beta
Beta is one step before a release most the time. In these situations there are not RC versions. But there are closed beta and alpha groups. One plus isn't as bleeding edge as they used to be in terms of software. The larger the money involved the further away from bloody edges people/corps get.
I can say the same as others in this thread. I'm always running the betas and they've all been solid for me! Running beta 9 with custom kernel and some magisk modules right now! ?
I use only Beta since..., OnePlus 3. Open beta are Awesome.

Using Beta 9 as my daily driver. No crashes. No unexpected reboots.
Used Beta 8 and the phone would be up for days.
I typically reboot every 3-4 days or after a lot of application updates.
Despite numerous issues posted in the beta threads I have never encountered an issue. I have had battery issues with Google Play Music but I really think its google's app that is causing the problem.
The Beta's are usually just as solid as any release ROM. I dont even consider them Beta to be honest with you. As soon as they come out I update. On Beta 9 right now and it is rock solid.

Appreciate the feedback! So what has the install process been like, coming from stock? I've been doing some reading and to my understanding, it's the following:
Factory reset in TWRP
Wipe data in TWRP*
Flash full OB9 zip
Flash TWRP zip
Reboot system
Reboot recovery
Flash Magisk
*Just not sure if it's wipe data or format data

When going from stock to beta, you actually don't have to wipe anything! It's nice, you won't lose your data. The same can't be said for the reverse though, that requires a format. Keep in mind, formatting userdata wipes EVERYTHING! Your pics, music, apps, everything.
Process for moving to beta to make it simpler.
Flash beta
Flash TWRP zip
Reboot to recovery (don't boot system yet.)
Install custom kernel (optional entirely)
Flash magisk (having TWRP means you NEED magisk to boot the device.)
Boot system!
???
Profit! [emoji6]
In fact beta are the latest stable with new options/features.

If primary functions of a phone are not stable, that should never called a "Beta" version. That is an "Alpha" version of software. Software is called "Beta" after the 2nd letter of the Greek alphabet. Meaning it is the 2nd generation of development. It is the final step before stable release. So while I can't say that you won't find some minor bugs, it would never be expected to find major issues in a true Beta version. All the issues that you are worried about should have been addressed in initial development or Alpha releases. You should continue to be aware and vigilant. But no need to worry that a Beta will be completely unworkable. Good luck!

How did you root the open beta 9? I just lost my root in the progress from tmobile to international version
you would be more likely to find bugs in a stable release of a custom rom.

You have to unlock the bootloader in .11 first. Once you do that, then you can do the open beta upgrade. I'm on a T-Mobile 6T and I'm currently on beta 9 with root.
