*Update: I had my first freeze with ART on second day of update and I had to battery pull to get it restarted. Switched back to dalvik
Since LG/T-Mobile has been lacking information on their mysterious update,
so far I've noticed these changes with the new update:
Camera slide with knock on security
Snappier phone interface
Increased touch responsiveness (I use a 0.3mm tempered glass screen)
Increased IR blaster strength (It used to be terrible)
Bootloader still unlocked
Camera zoom recording fixed
Purpledrake root method works
Stock camera app now has a remote shutter for Android Wear devices
Option to disable the Bluetooth "battery level" notification when Bluetooth is connected
Untested by me:
Tweaked auto-brightness?
Decreased over-sharpening?
Better signal?
Wifi calling update?
Stump root works.
Google Wallet can use NFC.
I couldn't get stump root to work but purple drake did

I think that only happens if you where already rooted and accepted the update. If you never rooted with stump, or KDZ'ed back to stock then it works fine on the update.
No change in signal for me. Still at -105dBm at home, and around -110dBm at work. Im gonna sneak out to the floor at CTIA and see what i can get, i know verizon is around -84dBm. And their AWS band is running full speed, i installed it Friday...

Overall a pretty significant update. When I switched over to the new update on dalvik, I noticed that the battery was draining faster than usual, and the phone produced a lot more heat. Now that I've switched to ART my battery life is better and the heat has died down significantly.
Before the update I couldn't run ART because it would freeze occasionally and I would have to battery pull, but now it works fine

I rooted with purple drake and have twrp with a backup and I'm still on the stock rom… I want to take the update, is this a bad idea? By that I mean, am I probably gonna get stuck in that nutty bootloop? I don't care about losing root and having to root again. I just don't know if I should try reverting back to untouched stock first or something before taking the update.
One thing changed is you now have an option to disable the Bluetooth "battery level" notification for when Bluetooth is connected.
As some other users said, touchscreen is more responsive with glass plate installed. I had hard time playing Angry Birds Epic due to hit or miss touchscreen, but this time it's totally mistake-free.
Also I can hook up to my car radio aux problem was fixed for me at least
I'm rooted on zone ROM and I want to update and keep or retain root. How should I go about that?

Those who got stock in bootloop did not go back to complete stock. Complete stock means no xpose framework installed, nothing going on with your system, and IMPORTANTLY you are on STOCK recovery. So if you can find away to do all of that, you should be fine. I perosnally just used flashtool to go back to stock...took all but 2.35 minute. Once i booted, i did factory reset, took the update, did another factory reset rooted restore my apps and here i am
Can someone with the update confirm whether or not you can still use the brightness slider while auto brightness is on?
This is how it works on my girlfriend's AT&T variant (which I think is on build D) so her phone is always brighter than mine when side to side and on auto brightness.

If you're talking about the fine-tuning of autobrightness…i know I have never had that feature. Would be nice… but it'll take an xposed module or a custom rom to get that going.

Lol, not to be an ass but I cannot do that sir. I always say if you you root, you should be able to unroot by acquiring the knowledge to do so. If you cannot acquire such knowledge, you should not root until you know how to completely unroot for OTA. THere are many threads, including tmobile in plain site that tells you how to go back to stock Gluck searching!

Sadly we do not have such functionality with the latest update. What I will suggest is installing Lux dash...been using that since day one of owning my G3. It has the option to increase brightness in autobrightness.

I've been using Lux for awhile, but have been having problems ever since I updated to the pro version. It's really slow to turning the brightness up when first turning on the screen so it's dark for a few seconds.
Downloaded another auto brightness app called Vellis so I'm hoping that works better. Really, all I want to do is make the auto brightness go brighter.

Hi there i have open this thread for the new firmware so we can discuss it.
So far I´m really disappointed with overall rom speed and its lags here and there. Another thing is battery drain by google apps wakelocks.
On screen time is not impresive either. I know it is still early to judge this rom, but this is my opinion from using this rom for more than day.
How are you people happy with this update?

maybe ill just wait the fix for this before I update my ZL , maybe ill stay in 4.3 until they release the fix
So... Basically, it looks great..
But, there's a lag issue... When u pull the notification bar, and on app drawer (can be fix by hard reset)...
I flash c6506 on my c6502 and still looks great !

Some say that it's necessary to reset the phone after the update to fix the screen lag issue, also, try to activate the GPU acceleration.
hmmm.....
i did not face any problem u all mention....weird....
As i told, i'm having a high consumption of memory.
Two album app, two Walkman.apk
Yeah, it's laggy in when scrolling in settings, forcing GPU rendering fixed that. Also it seems to charge much slower than 4.3. I had the same issue (slow charging) when I was on AOSP. Not sure if I will revert yet...

Mine is still laggy....
Already reset, and forcing GPU rendering....
I haven't actually performed a reset - mine was a 101 4.3 upgrade... and I need to try doing a full reset...
I've noticed a lag at times with turning the screen back on... (sometimes it takes longer to turn back on...), I've had issues with the "acore" process crashing... but from what I've read that's likely another application... probably something that would be resolved with a reset/wipe, I've also had issues with spontaneous reboots... and I know yesterday was having it show that I'd been on "battery " for ~ 2 minutes when I'd been at my kid's soccer game for an hour or so and on battery the entire time... could be a bbs issue, could be a wipe issue... I had also experienced lag in some parts of settings...
Most everything else seemed ok... but at this point, I've rolled back to an asop 4.4.2... (I found that I had to roll my baseband back to 101 to have an asop 4.4.2 rom get cellular connectivity again...)

Mine got many many bugs, but the Brazillian rom is known for this kind of bugs such as:
Lockscreen got no wallpaper and get FC all the time
so much battery drain
No bootanimation
very laggy
Mobile data always on status bar, even if i am at Wifi
Didn't see the option to change for ART (idk if it's a bug)
Laggy on some games like DH 4 and Injustice

You need to kill the settings from the task manager after forcing the GPU rendering to make it apply correctly.

I am starting this thread anticipating the release of LP to our device. As we all know with the new 5.x.x release there are some bugs and new ways we have to mod things, most especially Xposed and the modules we use for our G3. I want this to be a place where you can ask questions, post information, and assist with anything TMo LP related.
Please no arguing and no conspiracy theories. I hope that with everyone playing nice and helping others, this can serve as a central hub of knowledge for our device running stock LP
@autoprime has already released a flashable unofficial system and boot image here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/stock-lg-d851-20b-t3062164
Please read it thoroughly!!
There is also a new root method, as many know, for Lg devices that is now available in a oneclick method. For those that don't want to flash the official rom through twrp when both become available this is for you,,

Keep up the great work. Let me know if you need help testing. I don't mind pre-alpha or the risk of boot-looping in the name of improving your awesome App.
Overall works great but a few bugs.
What doesn't work / not work correctly--- indicated what isn't
Every change needs a reboot
Any change breaks custom Navbar/SoftKeys (until rebooted)
Quick Settings Panel color impossible to match to the color above it (the colored bar with the settings, clear and clock in it, not the status bar)
Advanced Power Menu shows up but missing reboot options despite 4 way setting being enabled. Screenshot option doesn't do anything.
Remove Knock Code String
Hide Carrier Text (Unlock Screen)
Bigger Call Picture
AOSP Clear All Button
Restore the Menu Button, it does restore the menu button but it doesn't change the icon in the stock settings anymore, still shows as Q-Slide or something like that
Ability to disable quick circle (that thing when you hold the home key)

Yeah I think the only way to switch profiles is still through guest mode(not like other LP devices) so nothing there has changed.. I'm doing fine with data and wifi, issue I have is starting this morning I couldn't turn BT on from the statusbar toggle until I rebooted. I clean installed and started everything over too.
Plus so far battery seems a little worse..which has been reported across the board on G3's running stock LP
How To Get Viper4Android Working On 5.0.1 D851 (My Experience)
As the title states this is how you can get Viper4Android soundmod working.
·Download and install the Viper apk for 4.4/5.x you can choose version 2.3.3 or 2.3.4(I have a modded version called Lolliviper) (Not my work, you can google it).
·Download and install SELinux mode changer from the Playstore.
·Open Developer options under system settings and uncheck "Use NuPlayer".
·Open SELinux mode changer app and change to permissive.
·Open Viper and install your prefered driver (I use Superior quality).
·Reboot
·Upon reboot make sure SELinux is still set to permissive.
·Open Viper and enable.
·Open your music app and select a song.
·Open Viper select menu and the driver status. You should have all YES.
I have tested this on Google Music and the stock player. There are a lot of guides out there for this. Most suggest flashing libs and build prop tweaks. None of that was necessary for me. This is the exact way I set it up.

Working on D850 5.0.1 :good:
Hi there.
I've just updated my z1c from 4.4 to 5.1.1 and everything is fine with it...
I just have few things to ask for:
1) it seems that app icons on home are bigger than in KK. Isn't it? If yes, is there a way to make them smaller, with gravity box or other mods?
2) while watching videos or photos in full screen mode on facebook, chrome and other apps, status and navigation bars don't disappear. I remember that before updating they did, but i don't remember if it was due to some function of GB or other mods. What do you think about it? Is there anything i could do to make it happen?
3) which sound mod could you advise for a volume increse with minimum quality loss?
Thank you so much, hope my english isn't too bad.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's not perfect across all apps. Another option is called 'app settings'. It's similar, but has more options to set per app. I don't use FB, so I couldn't help w that...

If you update, be ready to deal with less battery (but the gap isn't that huge).

But it's enough disabling "auto-retrieve MMS option" (that is in every reliable messaging app, like Google's Messenger) to make stragefright bug completely harmless
As regards USM... well, if it actually extends battery life to one week, maybe I have to revalue the update. Has anyone tested it? I guess there's no porting on KK because it relies on "Ultra power safe mode" introduced with LP, am I right?
TheRoundCross said:
Is it worth to update from KK to LP? I mean did you see some improvements in performance aside to UI and other LP's releated things? I need a suggestion bc I'm very attempted to update but I don't wanna end as a my friend who saw her G3s inexorably die after the update.

Hard to say... I don't see nothing really better.
Maybe i like layouts and some aspect of lp more then in kk, but for others is exactly the opposite.
The system seems faster, but it's still hard to say because i was on the same rom since One year and now i've a total wipe. Battery life is worst, but not too much. USM is fantastic, but I use it only if i have low battery without the possibility of charging for long time, because you can use only few functions with it.
Maybe i'd do the update again if i could come back (surely with root), but without any strong reason.
Hope This helped you.
Just starting a discussion thread for the SLIM6 ROM from Team SuperLuminal (follow link in TS CM13 thread if you don't know of it). I'm not the creator or maintainer of Slim6, so mods please feel free to take over this thread to post builds, changelogs etc.

I have problem with mobile data and i found solution. In APN configuration i have 2 APN. I delete one and reboot Pro 3. Now mobile data work well
Battery life has been soo much better then stock rom kicking it at about 10hrs screen on time maybe more. Currently at 11% but ot should be another 1 hour of sot with my luck.
No greenify or any othet battery saving apps.

Sorry but the power consumption for that usage is pretty low (unless you are streaming or playing music [while screen is off] behind the scene for 5 hours or more =D) so stock ROM can easily surpass that.
Here is a typical medium usage for me...

Stock is awesome for battery life, but I'm curious about how things would be with either Slim or Cm13. On WiFi I'd get even more, but might as well use my unlimited data.
There was a constant wake lock on the 12-31 build. If you're getting 9 hrs screen time, it's likely they fixed it in the latest nightly. Excellent. I read in the other thread about VoLTE in *#*#4636000#*#* toggle. Has that worked for anyone else yet?
Is anyone else getting no touchscreen upon boot?
Deal breaker for me was its lack of color control. Default white balance and color balance is just way far off.

Happened to me on the first boot but after holding the power button and rebooting it seemed to work.
Is everyone else still having the leaving wifi > no LTE issue? I've tried all sorts APN and preferred network settings and it happens much less but still getting it occasionally.
Also still not getting GPS lock on in device only (usually means hardware GPS not working). Funny though, it still works about 95% using turn by turn navigation so maybe GPS is just weak/slow.

Interesting. I'll give that a try. Codes often don't work in dialer after leaving stock, but there's apps on play store that can access the codes.

I'm having issues with IR blaster on any non original build. I am going to go back to stock make sure IR blaster works and try again. Anyone else have these issues?

I did a full wipe before installing and the IR blaster is working great for me on this build! I was not able to get it working on the CM Superluminal build for some reason. Really liking this ROM so far!!
What is the restriction of the issue "selinux permissive mode"? Is it only relevant if you use root? Will the fingerprint unlock work if you have root turned off?
I cant seem to get the it blaster working. I tried peel and sure from the app store. It didn't work for me on the cm13 ROM as well. Attached is my log file when I tried peel. Thanks for another great ROM!

I'm pretty sure I've seen a fix for IR on non stock rims but might have been limited to EUI roms. Have you tried that?

It's weird how the IR blaster functionality seems to vary so much. I was having issues at one point using IR on CM but I ended up doing a clean flash with the Slim build and it's working now. Battery life seems much better on this build over CM also.
I was finally able to get a log dump of the extreme slowdown while disconnecting from Bluetooth. Hope this helps. Thanks!
So in the Samsung official s9 forum there are thread after threads of people complaining about the new 'downgrade' to Pie One Ui mainly about the camera features being removed,
Shutter button zoom removed
Separate Video and shutter buttons removed
Pro video settings removed
Selective focus is now useless (s9)
Selfie Camera default view is too close so effects all apps that use selfie camera.
The ugly iPhone look of the overall camera software.
Battery life is down quite a bit although I've been told that the may update fixes this at last.
There are a few other features missing or changed that i personally don't use.
I personally love the new ONEui especially combined with Samsungs one handed operation + app using gestures.
The weird thing is I'm not hearing any complaints in the s9 xda forums about the upgrade/downgrade to Pie.
Are you all happy with your phone's from Oreo to Pie ?
Personally I think they have lowered the quality of the camera to make their S10 phones look superior but that probs me having a tin hat moment
I had my S9 for all of about 2 hours - about the time it took to transfer from a screen-busted S8 to the replacement S9 a couple months ago - before the update to Pie occurred.
I've had no problems or issues with it. And I've had the S8 for just under a year and half so I went through its update from Nougat to Oreo.
I don't know what issues there are with "selective focus". It seems to work fine for me.
Now, I have disabled as much of Bixby as I can (deleted the Google app and removed that search bar too - completely useless for me). Changed the launcher to Nova Launcher which can remove those goofy rounded icon frames, using the BlackBerry Hub Suite of apps for all the IM stuff, even using the BlackBerry Virtual keyboard which I like better than the stock or any SwiftKey keyboard.
I honestly don't understand the complaints towards Pie. It's not all that different from Oreo, and I love the native dark theme.
I personally don't like the update to pie. Battery life is definitely worse, the wifi signal is worse (I tested it between the S5 and S7 and the S9 was the worst). I don't like the UI at all, reminds me of an iPhone. About the only thing I do like is the My files app. It's cleaner and easier to use and navigate.

You have nothing to compare it to then, Oreo was 100x better which is why people are a bit disappointed. And I have to say your setup sounds absolutely awful ?

You missed my line about having the S8 for almost a year and a half, during which time it updated from Nougat to Oreo. So, yes, I can definitely compare with Oreo, since I had it for about a year.
And, except for some shifting around of elements, I find it to be basically the same. I had no problems finding what I need anywhere within the revamped UI.
And, my setup works perfect for me and is absolutely wonderful. You can't say otherwise without trying it yourself
I know that features in camera like pro video, zoom using the shutter button, taking 3 pictures when setting a timer, motion panorama... are removed, but the ui isn't ugly, I actually liked it better than oreo.
Selective focus is a bit improved after software updates, but the blur effect isn't as stong as in oreo.
Battery life isn't too much worse, I think the first month I upgraded to one UI, it was very bad, but it has improved after learning my usage patterns...
Heat is noticeably improved since when I was on oreo my phone was a little too warm all the time, but now it's normal, even available RAM is higher, I have 1.4~1.6 GB free now, compared to 1~1.2 GB in oreo.
When it comes to animations, I find less frame drops with one UI. And I didn't experience any kind of major lag since I got the phone so no worries here.
The whole UI looks better for me, it's cleaner and easier to use, I've not changed any launcher, keyboard, or even themes, everything is stock. And I can safely say that one UI is overall better than oreo, unless you care about the missing camera features.
I am absolutely gutted about the camera software, but I do love the one UI and I just got the May update which is supposed to fix the battery problems.
I hate it that they removed the recent long press to multitask, i mean why would samsung remove such simple usefull feature?

No difference off the 1st full charge to 0.
See how it goes over the next few days and I'll post back.
I tell you what is annoying since the update, the adaptive brightness is just messing up constantly, so irritating.

Just go to settings>display>adaptive brightness and reset usage patterns. Then adjust it the way you want in each situation so it adapts to your adjustments...
This is the problem, it keeps cocking up, I reset usage and it's alright for a bit then it's drops to 0 brighteners so I move it to how I would like it and it'll be ok but then I go outside and the brightness doesn't increase so I adjust again for that and on we go because now auto brightness isn't doing anything and I'm constantly changing the brightness in the same brightness I've already set up, I reset again and all is ok for a while and then it starts again.
I'm going to wipe cache partition and reset brightness patterns and see how it goes.

Yes wiping cache might help, I personally enabled show control on top so I can quickly adjust the brightness manually to my liking.
Just got 5h35mins sot this time and brightness has sorted itself out, just need the original camera app back and I'll be happy ?
