Hi, I've come from a Z2 as couldn't get on with it. So far I'm very impressed with G3, though when in the shop I saw it had an option on the lockscreen to tap the numbers 1-4 in succession and the numbers appear in a bubble and they move across the screen as you tap a number. I presume it was a version on knock on. I assume it isn't carrier specific but I do not have it on my unbranded G3 (Its runnning V10L). I'd hate to come across as a noob but has this option been replaced by updated firmware? The only other option I can think of is it is some sort of demo function for use in stores.
Thanks for any assistance...

Carrier Specific
Well to be honest I've flashed almost all the firmware that LG has released and I have never seen that before, so I'm thinking that it may have to be carrier specific and by the way I have the D855 unlocked international version. I hope that I helped you.
Hi I am pretty sure that is a demo function to show people how the knock-on works.
For the real thing, it will not be much of a pass-code if the phone shows you the sequence to knock!
Hello guys, recently I flashed a vodafone branded v20L firmware on my LG G4 H815 version. Upon this step, my model number in hardware version shows H815TR while my actual model number is H815, which other third parties are verifying as such.
Initially I updated to MM(v20H) using LG Bridge, which is when I started having this model number conflict and now whenever I make/receive calls, the other party does not hear me, reportedly they hear static or muffled or nothing at the other end, except when I use speaker mode(which isn't convenient to use in public areas), then they can hear me.
Ever since, I cannot clearly make calls without having a peace of mind.
I would be grateful to you guys if you could help me, please.
Thank you.
p.s I did hard reset and even cleared the mic in the motherboard and nothing worked.
EDIT: found this out after I made this post. If you flash this, you can't make calls. Everything else works, but no outbound calls. Maybe someone else can figure it out. I really didn't want to go back to AOSP *sigh*.
I put "ported" in quotes because all I did was resize the system partition so that it would fit on our phones (a BUNCH of empty space, and I only shaved off 450megs), and made a few changes to build.prop, deleted a few things (really -- usbautorun.iso?!) -- so hardly a port.
So what is it? It is the system and boot partitions from the F500S/K/L Nougat KDZ slightly modified to work with our phones. I like Nougat much more than Marshmallow, but I also like stock more than AOSP (at least for THIS phone). It is almost a certainty that T-Mobile will not release Nougat for the H811.
If you flash this, you will have Nougat 7.0 / June 1, 2017 security patch / kernel 3.10.84. I have not had a chance to test everything yet, but I can say that *my* experience is far nicer than what I was getting with LOS.
I didn't wipe before flashing because -- well -- I hate restoring from backup. I did have some FCs with a few things, but un-installing / reinstalling them solved that.
All the system error messages will now be in Korean. I don't mean the OS (although the keyboard, and dialer have some extra symbols -- if you keep them), I mean things like "please let your phone charge more before being a dumb *** and trying to turn it on" (or however it went).
Lastly, the F500 has a different modem, so it will say "unknown" for the baseband, but the MM modem works fine. When (IF?) they release Nougat for the H815, then I will test that modem, and if there aren't any problems, I will update this. As far as I know the H815 and H811 have the same modem.
Anywho -- dunno if anyone is interested, but here it is: h811_port.zip

mate , thread should be devdb so that you have full control over it.
you wrote too much, it was like reading a fairytail. make sections. split text to paragraphs e.g. Installation | Bugs | , sort it out a bit.
So you only did what we all did you changed a few things for it to boot but it won't have signal right ?
we will figure it out when h815 nougat modem is released. Does the camera video rec works ? Cause the only bug i had when i unified h815 and h811 was in the camera rec. f500 camera drivers work on h811 ?
If they work we can use the f500 variant as a base to make a h811 stable in the near future if LG doesn't release one
@kessaras IMHO this isn't development. I mean it isn't hard to make the few changes to make firmware from another model boot (and I *thought* all the hardware worked).
To answer your questions, I did get around to testing the camera (all modes front and rear), and an audio recorder. As far as I can tell all the hardware is functional except.....
Making calls. I would never have posted that if I would have bother to make a call. I have had no need to make a call all day, and since it can receive calls -- I just assumed. Should never do that.
SMS works, data works, receiving calls, WiFi calling works -- but you can't make a cell call, and I am stumped.
I guess I will go ahead and post it anyway, maybe someone else can figure out why you can't place calls.
PS: Sorry, I don't make pretty posts

thats nice to hear! i'm glad f500 drivers work to that point for h811. we will fix the call bug too.
Bare with me if this is old news to you, but I wouldn't have thought there would be modem firmware in the system image. I also had wondered where the RIL partition had gone, now I know.
I have almost finished tracking down all the moving pieces to get phone audio path working.
/system/bin/rild
/system/etc/firmware
/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml (haven't done a diff on this yet, but it looks the same)
/system/lib/libreference-ril.so
/system/lib/librilutils.so
/system/lib/libril.so
But there is more, and I am tired. I know there are probably very few people that care about stock on here. But, I do
FYI - The H815 modem is not the same as the H811, so waiting for H815 firmware is pointless since this would have to be done anyway.
I am going to test bluetooth on the ride home and I'll update tomorrow. Since WiFi works, and the chip is the same for both, I don't see why it wouldn't though.

Is it possible to have this working on other variants?

mate , we will wait for the official. its too much work to discover the buged files and test older ones from other kdz.
if lg doesn't give us nougat, we will. we will all help i hope...
@fegitoli Yes. You can get any ROM working on any phone, the question is the level of effort to do so. If you are talking about the H810, then it will be about the same amount of work. I don't know about other variants.
@kessaras You feel free to wait, but I am convinced that neither T-Mobile nor AT&T will be releasing an update to Nougat for the G4. AFAIK, AT&T didn't release one for the V10, and T-Mobile only did after they were taken out back and beaten.
FYI - Bluetooth works as well, but GPS will need a little work.
So that means getting the audio path to work for cell calls (the modem works fine. The call is established, just no audio), and figuring out why GPS is off by about a mile.
-- Brian
just flashed this rom to check its new UI and features.
i must say "Brilliant Experience and speedy"
thanks OP.

Unable to hear anything during call.
is someone working on this to fix it...?
thanks.
@waseemmayaa Yup, I am working on it. It is either the RIL (Radio Interface Layer), or something to do with the sound libraries. I am leaning toward the RIL since audio recording works. Also, the path for voice on a phone call is handled by the radio and modem. It could also be something as simple as mixer_paths.xml. Unfortunately I am at work so I won't be able to continue till later. I can tell you that this is 100% fixable.
And yea, I also really like the Korean version. I have a T-Mobile V10, and the Nougat experience on it is no where near as nice, once this is working I will probably do the same thing on the V10 even though it has Nougat.
LG really takes care of their home town

no i called tmobile this morning as i also saw a page that it wont be released to USA.
so called LG yesterday person said yes V30 should be available soon... and tmobile didnt know but said it should.
A suggestion for fixing audio in calls:
I found some settings in the service menu (when you dial 5457#*500#) relating to audio. Perhaps playing around with these could fix call audio.
variant lgak815 which variant is it ? it sais US country
http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/
Nvm. i found it its a tablet, nothing in common with our phone
If incoming calls are working alright, it is not likely an issue with ril. I believe dialer.apk would crash if we're.
I have no experience with LG's stock source, but when testing to build Omni for G4 (MM) there was a similar bug and was resolved with mixer_path.xml. again, not same source, but just in anted to suggest I think you are on the right path.
Thanks for the efforts for the H811
@ElfinJNoty Thanks for the heads up.
I didn't update the first post (guess I should). When I tested calling, it just so happens that the phone I tried to call had a problem. So incoming and outgoing calls do work, so you are correct, it isn't the RIL -- it is just audio.
When I tested an incoming call, since I had both handsets up to my ears, I think I was just hearing myself talk -- lol. The cell audio path doesn't work in either direction, and that helped a lot. I was really stumped how audio could work in one direction, but not the other.
I am 99% sure that it is mixer_path.xml, but if I make one change to that file, then the phone won't boot, so I am sorting through logcat right now.

EDIT: right after I posted this, I had a *DOH* moment -- effing SELinux... Completely forgot to set it to permissive. I will find out tonight
OMG bro, I will give this a go and see for myself. You will be my hero if you are not already.
Thanks bro

What h811 modem did you used?
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
@TecknoFreak I have the modem firmware from the latest MM KDZ that I could find .. I believe 20v.
I can't do any testing this weekend, but if you get it working, please post you results. There should be only two lines that need to be changed in mixer_path.xml. If you grab a copy from an h811 LOS ROM, and search for tmus you will find the changes you need to add. Do a search on this ROM for tmus and paste in the additional lines that are missing.
If that fixes audio, hopefully GPS is just a matter of fixing /system/etc/gps.conf the same way.
Ugh ... Double post...
Hi guys, so I've been testing and enjoying this Korean LG G8 here in Europe and I've been trying to enable LTE-A. I've tried literally everything but I just can not get anything to work when it comes to enabling it. I know for a fact that the x24 modem can support it but the SADEST PART is that LG took out the field test option and also the hidden menu is incomplete ( *#546368#820# is the ONLY option sadly, I think it's because LG is you know... shutting down..., there is no incentive for devs to code for it.)
Anybody, any help would be amazing as in my area 4G+ is really SO much better than the laggy and bad LTE.
So yeah... btw, how do I get rid of the roaming clock on the homescreen, I've tried everything but it still shows the time in Korea.
Oh yeah also, I enabled wi-fi calling in the hidden menu which honestly, it was hard af to find that even as no one seems to care, BUT the sad part is that the ''wi-fi calling'' option in the engineering menu (or what's left from it, I'm on Android 12 and it seems like from 11 to 12 LG has decided to be lazy and destroy any kind of debugging etc. so yeahhhhhhh.)
So in the ''official'' menu it's greyed out but I just enabled it, I am 100% sure you can do this with CA/ LTE-1/4G+ as well, also the way they classify bands is just UGH on android, why are they using classes and not bands.
I am pretty upset rn as I've spent soooooooo many hours now on something that should take 1 minute or less, wtf!
Okay so has anyone actually gotten Carrier Aggregation/4G+/4.5G to work on this phone?
I am really curious, it is becoming more and more important as companies are putting more emphasis on 5G and this phone sadly not being 5G enabled, sometimes my DL speeds are so trash and reception as well. When I pop my sim in my iPad mini 6, it just flies, 200 mbit DL all day, sometimes not even 5mbit DL or no reception at all, all due to CA being blocked by the carrier, yeah the phone is unlocked but basially eliminating the CA option toggle in the engineering menu really is a clear signal this phone was not really intended to be used on the network other than the network you signed up for. Talking about the Korean variant here, which to my knowledge has the most bands active aside from the ATT model I think but that's another story.
So yeah guys, anyone gotten CA to work on their phone? If so please post a screen so I can see a unicorn lol.
Were you able to find a solution to this problem yet? Doesn't seem like anyone else is having this problem because they would have posted it here. I live in the USA and I'm still waiting for the Android 12 update from US Mobile (T-Mobile).

I gave up, it is actually VERY hard to make this work, I would update to Android 12 if you don't need any VoLTE, (VoWifi seems to be fine tho for some reaon) no CA / 4G+, none of that...
Hello,
I know you gave up, but I own the LG U+ G820N (thanks its the less bloated one) and I also face bad reception sicne switching carrier/updating t A12, I don't know which one is the cause.
I also can NOT access the *#*#4636#*#* engineering menu. Do you have any clue ?

After weeks of research I actually tried the voWifi toogle + an app enabling the LG Wi-FI calling menu.
With voWIFI set to 0, the LG menu accessed via the app directly switches back to off when toggled.
But, with voWIFI on1 in the *#546368#820# menu, the other menu accessed via the app stays toggled.
I just tried at work with the phone in ariaplane mode and connected to a mobile sharing wifi form my professional phone but it was isntant voicemail....
Did you managed to get voWIFI without changinf the software ? Was the Field test menu available in A11 ?
