Tried flashing this mod with CloudyG3 1.2 D850. Sadly it didn't work. Bootloader found it to be a security hazard. Strangely your other mod works. I chose 0 sharpening
Still noob user. Can only post here
FYI
Today i formated data then reinstall chupa rom , superSu latest, then chupa kernel without sharpening , to finish with sharpening mod.. -> i got security kernel error
If i do same but flashing 1.9 kernel with sharpening , all good.
Im on D855
Cool installer and nice work, but unfortunately the LS990 doesn't seem to take to this. I was on the original oversharpening fix kernel with KitKat stock and tried to flash the script, resulting in the security boot error. I saw your suggestions and flashed the RIN kernel, then your installer, but got the same results. Oh well! I'll gladly take any troubleshooting suggestions.
After a fresh format (again) all worked so fine. but once i applyied this MOD , i got weird things happened. Screen was blinking and go off without touch it... unusable. and if i pressed reboot , i had a choice beetween Wallis & Futuna and Vietnam ????? WTF lol
D855 V20D bumped
a question from a noob.
How or what do you install to install the kernel?
doesn't work for G3 VS985 Lollipop AOSP
Thank you very much skin1980 for this fix. I have a d851 running skydragon kernel and everytime I boot up, I have to shut the screen on/off for the effect to take. Any ideas?
Total novice - please help
I have just purchased the LG G3 and this issue is driving me mad. Everything else about the phone is incredible but I cannot use it like this. At all. I have never used Android, never rooted and done anything like this, so I would appreciate if someone can guide me through the process. Few questions though:
1. I have a D855 running software V10L-234-10 ; Kernel 3.4.0. It is from O2, UK. Does this fix work with this?
2. If I cannot get this fixed, I will certainly return the device. However, does rooting and flashing/doing this process void my ability to return it? Or will they not notice?
3. Am I correct that the easiest / safest way to do is via http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/multimod-improveg3-t2958376 Improve G3?
Hi, I picked up this phone few days back - everything was incredible apart from the screen. I'm totally new to this - but I rooted (purpledrake), and installed custom recovery to install the sharpening mod. I absolutely love the phone now and the screen is incredible (like it should be). Thank you thank you so much for this! I'm otherwise running the stock KitKat ROM it came with.
I'm looking for the best stock lollipop ROM on which I can either apply the sharpening fix or it is pre-applied. Reason I want stock is because I LOVE Knock Code and the hold volume down for camera. I would like to get that.
Can someone please suggest a ROM? I want it to be stable and have good battery life. I don't want to be on the bleeding edge with cyanogenmod or anything like that. If I can get pure lollipop android (loved it on my Nexus 5) with Knock Code and volume down with stability and battery life, I would love that too.
THANK YOU for making the mod and I'll be grateful for the help
Got boot loop after flashing V3 on F400K - CloudyG3 1.2
LG G3 s (d722) same sharpening problem
Hi!
Two days ago I bought the LG G3 S (D722) and the sharperning problem is the same or higher like LG G3
I have been searching the aroma script for LG G3 S (D722) but I didn't found
Anyone knows if I can apply the "LG G3 aroma script" to the mini version?
or ... anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I have become an owner of the LG G3 D855 as of recently, and like many, I am disappointed by the over-sharpened UI.
Basically, I'm debating between returning it and attempting to mod it by myself, but since I'm lacking some (basic) understanding in the area, I cannot make any informed decisions without some help.
With that said, here are some, perhaps noobish, questions, the answers to which would really help me get a more clear view of what would be the right choice for me:
1. Does flashing this, or some other kernel actually solve the issue, without exposing some other artifacts of the display?
- I mean it's been almost half a year since the phone's release, and the sharpening still hasn't been removed, it would be only logical to assume there's a reason for that.
2. Does the kernel dictate what rom the phone could have? In other words, could I flash CM12 on top of it, or am I limited to the stock rom?
3. Just to make sure I'm getting the order of operations straight: to flash the kernel I would first need to root, install a custom recovery, make a backup file, and then "install the [kernel] zip" (whatever that means), correct?
- If such is the case, I assume that if the need to un-void my warranty may arise, I could then unroot my phone and it would be back to stock like nothing ever happened, right?
Lastly, has anyone noticed any backlighting inconsistencies? On day one I've noticed that the pixel matrix of the screen seems uneven, which manifests in a "hatching" effect, it is noticeable the most upclose, on a white background though. Also when (slowly) pulling down the notification shade, I notice that there are some wave patterns forming on the screen as it dims. It would have probably been easier to just film it, but I hope you understand what I mean, if not know from first hand experience. The wallpaper I'm using is the snowy mountains photo, with the bright, grayish, sky. Software version: Stock rom, Lollipop 5.0.

If you use the zip script:
1 no issue
2 every rom
3 need only twrp to flash the zip. If you will flash a kdz of a stock fw all is good again for the warranty
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app
D855 V20f - works like a charm.
Huge THANKS to everyone involved in creating this fix, I was almost ready to dump the phone just because of this sharpening... even tho my eyesight leaves much to be desired, the difference is night and day. Some webpages used to be almost unreadable due to this madness, honestly... LG devs screwed it big time.
This is a must for every G3 owner

Sharpness Reduction for an average user
hey guys, I would really much like to get the sharpness fix for my LG G3 D852 running on android lollipop 5.0.1. I have already rooted my device but can not get to do the sharpening fix part as I am not that much of a phone geek. Could anyone please do a Step by Step tutorial video. i would very much appreciate that. Thanks.
Does anyone know of a way to root the LG G3 D852 running Android 5.0 Lollipop after the OTA update that recently came out?
I already tried using the CM12 nightly rom that runs Lollipop but it loses some much features from the LG G3 such as double tap to wake and I dislike the style of CM12 a lot.
Any help at all? I don’t want to use Cyanogen Mod at all.

This method only works with Kitkat. So far there is no method to root Lollipop. You will have to downgrade to kitkat then root again and follow this thread written by autoprime http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412

Someone will have to make a stock flashable zip including root. This is something I'm attempting, but having very little success in doing due to the bumping of the kernel.
Hopefully someone will be able to figure this out -- I'll gladly donate to anybody that can root the LG G3 D852 with the Lollipop update. I am already missing Cloudy5 but decided to try out the update. I am very disappointed -- Rogers / LG seriously crippled Lollipop and many of the best features are gone. Even the lock screen notifications suck compared to AOSP ROMs. Eager to go back, may need to go back to KitKat, root again, then re-install Cloudy5.

I don't know enough about it but am trying to learn as well, unfortunately i'm only a geek and not a techy geek. What I was hoping to do was flash back to KK then root/custom recovery and then flash system.img using the LG flashtool, so that I could have official Lollipop only rooted.
I was trying to follow this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4s6wrpD2Gk, but it's not enough for me to go on, perhaps it can help put someone else in the right direction.
I've got the kzd file for if anyone needs it.
It looks like Lollipop rooting has begun
Something is happening http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412/page19
UPDATE - Seems like @topet2k12001 has figured it out for the D858. Who knows enough or is willing to try it on the D852?

Hi @cytherean,
Thanks for the mention.
I am going to work on uploading a YouTube video tutorial for the steps that I did so that owners of other LG G3 variants may try if it works for them.
I would say though, to try @autoprime's method first because that's exactly what I did. I merely added a minor/extra "manual" step to his procedure which is to "bump" the Lollipop boot.img of the D858HK (as the online "bumping" service is already taken down - I was too late in the game, unfortunately).
Stay tuned!
PS: would you guys recommend for me to create a thread solely for this? If yes, I'd probably name it with "D858HK" and then others can post and report their findings, so that I can update the thread title. Or do you suggest I just keep it under @autoprime's thread (or the D858HK thread)?
The only reason I am thinking of creating a thread is to increase visibility into the procedure. Rest assured that I always give credit to all the things I have learned through reading and discovering the process.
UPDATE: I decided to create a thread. At this point, I have tested and re-tested the procedure; it works for the D858HK (100% success rate). http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845
Inviting owners of other LG G3 variants to try too, and let me know if it works.
Is it possible to port CyanogenMod for d856 using stock as base?

I don't know how to port, but here it is which I have tried and failed without bricking my device and didn't work :silly:. I download D855 cm-12.1 nightly replace boot.img with boot.img in KDZ of my device, modified some build.prop, and failed at flash.
I also did start reading Cyanogen Mod guide and its goes way over my head. However I do think that porting for an expert would only take marginal effort then new bio like me. I hate stock but I can't get around it.
So I endup flashing stock back with LG Mobile Support 2014, it works after lot of tries with different scenarios, root the device again, installed/flash TWRP with Autorec lollipop.apk for D856, flash Xposed for lollipop, Installed Xposed Installer, G3 Tweaksbox, G3 Tweaksbox Theme for Lollipop, GravityBox and other things... for now its lot better then what stock was offering, big thanks to XDA.
However I love to see CM-12.1 for LG G3 D856, since I loved CyanogenMod on OnePlus One and missing it badly (I had to swap out with my brother because it was offering lot better battery life (good for him) and I need little good camera ... win-win).

So I was wondering if my phone is "young" enough to get the marshmallow update and after a lot of googling I could not get a clear answer...
I own the LG Optimus G Pro E986 and it is almost 2 years and 9 months since the manufacture date and its current OS is Jellybean...
I searched on some sites and found out that LG will allow the marshmallow update on LG G phones first, if I remember correctly, but is LG still updating Optimus G Pro phones? Is there still a way I can get marshmallow?Also do you know any good ROM (marshmallow or lollipop) for the device?
Thanks
Don't expect anything from LG, especially not for EU and Open variants.
Some variants got their KitKat update in 2014, Korean variants (F240 models) got their Lollipop (5.0.2) update last year and that's pretty much it. LG doesn't plan and won't push any further updates for this device, especially it is now more than 3 years old. Hell, they gave up on E98x variants after a year My E988 got an initial 4.1.2 patch first day I got it, and no updates till April of 2014 (KitKat 4.4.2) and... Silence after that, so yeah, not even a full year of updates and support.
Your best chance to get some sweet Lollipop is to flash some of custom ROMs available - you can choose between stock based and AOSP based. I was maintaining SlimLP till recently it became obvious there will be no more updates to their Lollipop repos, and now I'm using custom CM builds. Marshmallow is a dead-end, simply too much stuff for this device is broken/obsolete/non-existent, and it has almost 0% dev interest because of that, locked bootloaders and LG's 30-variants-for-one-model idiotic policy.
So, if you want to keep your device 100% working, keep it on 4.1.2 or try to find a KitKat KDZ for your variant (I had to flash mine manually, LG's OTA didn't even offer KK update, and I didn't even knew there was a KK update before LG's PC suite prompted it). If you don't mind occasional bugs, glitches and crashes, move to custom ROMs (keep your jellybean as base, root it, if not rooted already, "unlock" with Freegee, flash TWRP).
Thats true... As a device its awesome and I am really satisfied by its performance but LG suddenly "forgot" it, like it never existed. I have installed cm12.1 nightly on my E986 but yeah there are some issues (black screens etc.)... so I will test it for some time and I will think if I switch to stock ( which worked smoothly and no problems) or not.
My last hope is BlurOS project which was started by a team in Vietnam's XDA and they are about to create Murshmallow ROM for LG GPro series too.
So whoever is interested please vote for it here (after you become member of the group)-> https://m.facebook.com/questions.ph...o-bluros-support-lg-t3372926&refid=9&_rdr#_=_
Also check the XDA thread about BlurOs ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/general/please-register-to-bluros-support-lg-t3372926
Try running CM 12.1 with Wild kernel (blackouts are fixed, not sure about flickering, haven't used that one in long time), or if someone else made a CM-compatible flashable zip of kernel I've used for Slim (I've fixed all display issues - no blackouts, no flashing, no glitches.. zombigrn made flashables of older kernels for BlissPop, not sure if they'll work on CM).
I saw that thread but I'm taking that with a reserve. I managed to get some Marshmallow ROMs to boot, but RIL, sensors, camera, NFC.. god knows what else... all broken. Not a job for one guy who just knows his way around and isn't a pro. I'll keep this phone as long as possible, and if someone with enough knowledge to fix those issues emerges, well, more ROMs on our way. But from current state of things... This device simply got it's EOL really, really quick. Too bad, it's still pretty good phone, but either way I'm looking towards an update - something cheap, unlocked and with good AOSP-based ROM support.
