H990DS roms and kernels - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Hello all.
The h990DS is one of the very few phones that can take 2 sims and an SD card. It really has an awesome software.
But let's be honest, LG is terrible in both the updates and software departments.
Now that it has root, are there any roms or kernels that support the H990ds? the LG slow software and random lag are killing me.
Roms/kernels developers please add the h990ds support.
Thank you.

Admittedly there isn't much out there, but what there is is what you can find in the Development section of the V20 subforum. The closest thing I've seen to a H990DS kernel is in @emdroidle 's root thread. Someone posted their own fork of an updated kernel there, but I know he's currently working on bringing the 990DS kernel up to date and as stable as possible. That's probably the closest you're going to get for a custom kernel for now. As for ROMs, there's a few AOSP ones, but you lose 2nd screen functionality, at least until the guys in the 2nd Screen bounty thread have got it working (from what I've seen they're making solid progress) so for now, personally, I've opted for the latest stock ROM since I love the second screen.

I really hope rom developers start adding the h990ds to their support list.
Lg make really good hardware, but terrible software.
And we need the community to work on that for the h990ds.

request Paranoid Android 3.99 (G2 LG D802)

Hello to all,
excuse me if I would write in this section, but the forum will not let me.
I'm a fan of modding, I have LG G2 D802. I believe that the paranoid android rom is my favorite.
I'm following the various releases, but right now I need to put a stable, which is why I try the rom stable precent. If I am not mistaken, is 3.99.
Online, this rom is pretty introvabile.Penso that a stable release should always be available in addition to the various nightly, as does CyanogenMod.
The links are all offline and the 3d was changed.
If any of you are in possession of this rom, or know of working links could post them?
thanks in advance.
up!
??? you want houston to release a stable build of paranoid android??

SM-S820L Lollipop Update?

Is there any way to get Android Lollipop on the Galaxy Core Prime SM-S820L? I have read about custom ROM's but I still don't know much about them and can't find any for this model. If anyone has found or created a way to flash a custom ROM onto this device, please let me know.

I also own this device, and unfortunately there is very limited support in the custom Rom department. If there was to be a lollipop Rom, someone would either have to port one somehow, or build it from source. Given the development rate for this device, I don't predict it happening anytime soon, sorry to say.
not going to happen
i have been trying since february the answer i got from my carier was samsung is contracted not to support this device thats why that is so hard to find samsung told me to take the device to bestbuy to force update if they could probably irrelavent but maby it helps
SM-S820L Got the Shaft!
Yup! This seems to be the future for the SM-S820L, or lack of future I should say.
I too have the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-S820L. I have spent lots of hours scouring the internet looking through every android related forum in hopes of eventually finding someone that is undertaking much needed programming to build a custom ROM for this CorePrime version.
If you are looking for a custom recovery to use. I can point you to my and others posts over at Needrom. The best I can offer is an unofficial TWRP release, but it DOES work! It does for myself at least and I am no Android Guru whatsoever.
I guess I am not allowed to post Links in any of my posts yet because I am still a NOOB on these forums. I'll PM you with some direction my friend!
I cannot take credit for coming up with any of that software. I simply rooted around long enough to compile a collection of tools and files that worked for me to modify the Recovery of my SM-S820L.
:good: Feel free to shoot me a Private Message on this site or to my personal Email....... [email protected]
I would love to help out as much as I can with modding your phone. Like I said, I'm not a proffesional but I have read up on the procedures used and been successful with my own Galaxy Core Prime:laugh:

Advice on Purchase

Hello,
I'm strongly considering picking up a LePro 3, but I do have some concerns. I understand that the stock software isn't very good and I'm looking towards the community to create excellent ROMs for this device, but I do have some questions:
Do we have a clean method for root/unlock/recovery?
Is there anything stopping developers from putting together ROMs that are optimized for every aspect of the phone? i.e. enough source from LeEco?
How would you say developer support is for this device? I'm a fan of official ROM builds instead of using unofficial. Has anyone announced upcoming support for this device that I can look forward to?
Aside from that, feel free to mention anything else I should be aware of before purchasing the phone!
Thanks so much!
Do we have a clean method for root/unlock/recovery?
I have no idea what you mean by clean but if you can use adb then yes we do. If you are looking for a one stop shop all in one unlocker then the answer is no. look here for current method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/flashing-guide-roundup-leeco-le-pro-3-t3511901
Is there anything stopping developers from putting together ROMs that are optimized for every aspect of the phone? i.e. enough source from LeEco?
I believe all source code has been released.

There is minimal development currently. One person is trying to build a Nougat 7.1 Rom. That's a pretty big feat so it will probably be a while. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/7-1-progress-t3511474
There is a developer that posted a debloated version of the x720(international version) of this rom already. It will work on our x727(US version). It is an older version though so there's that. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/rom-google-edition-cydras-t3514742

There's a CM 13 rom here based on the chinese x720. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/cm-13-lex720-t3508015
Aside from that, feel free to mention anything else I should be aware of before purchasing the phone!
This is literally the smallest compilation of threads I've ever seen for a phone so starting a new thread to ask these questions is pretty silly. Since it's the holidays, I've been nice and responded to what could have easily been found in a couple of minutes.

Thanks for the reply.
The reason I compiled these questions were because I was hoping for more specific answers and some clarity. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough my initial post and for that I apologize.
I was reading what seemed to be conflicting information about the recovery software and process in which to flash it to the device. It looked as if there wasn't any goto method or specific TWRP version to go with and that this was still somewhat experimental.
It's good to know that the source has been released. I was seeking info about LeEco and people were saying that they didn't release source code for their phones as company policy.
While I've visited the ROM forum section, I was hoping someone would have insight into official ROMs instead of what currently exists there.
For the US model Le Pro 3 (X727) I would recommend using this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/x727-model-persistent-bootloader-unlock-t3500388) method to unlock the bootloader. That's what I did and had no issues. From there you can use TWRP to do a full wipe and install the ROM of your choice. Of course, I would recommend taking a backup of everything before doing this.
I'm running that CM 13 build with no issues on my X727. It's also possible to get the IR blaster working if desired.

Question about custom rom safety/security

Hey guys, so I’m a fairly new android user. On S7 Edge running stock nougat touchwiz firmware. I am very interested in trying a custom rom like remix resurrection to get a snappier stock android performance and have things like software navigation buttons on screen but a couple of things worry me a little.
Stock firmwares have security updates etc. How safe is it to use a custom rom, like a well known one? What’s stopping the maker of a custom rom from baking in some malware or virus that collects data/passwords and other private information? How often does this happen and does it happen at all? Is it safe to use a custom rom as a daily driver in terms of security?

That is highly unlikely to happen, most of the devs that Build roms are well known and respected, as far as security patches custom roms are almost always up to date, and the kernels are for the most part set to enforcing (more secure than permissive) , so if you don't do anything stupid and shady, you won't encounter a problem.
On a side note, you are asking in the wrong section, next time ask a question in the appropriate place.

Best custom ROMs for LG G4?

Hi, guys!
I saw there is already a thread about this, but it is quite outdated so I decided to start a new one. So since there would most probably NOT be an update to Nougat for our phones, I plan installing a custom rom, but since I am a newbie in this field I decided to ask for opinions. Honestly I am mostly attracted by the LineageOS 14.1/15 as successor of the CM, but there may be better options. I found some threads about LineageOS 15 been released but the link for our phones has been removed, reasons unknown. The 14.1 seems quite stable and with good reviews. But nevertheless please share your experience with any custom roms that you have, also please share whether G4 specific features like the double tap to lock/unlock the screen work with it?
If relevant I have a h815 model.
Thank you,
It is personal. You can ask that what do you use custom rom or why do you use LOS etc.
You will get more answers like this way.
