Hi
I am a very non-tech-savvy person and i have been using stock rom from always. I was always afraid of getting myself into some issue which won't be reversible. But now i have gathered some courage in installing a custom rom such as lineage os.
I have LG V20 H910 (att version) and it is on stock rom. I tried rooting it with kingoroot but it failed. Then i searched for its solution and came to know that V20 cannot be rooted by these software because its bootloader is locked and it needs special way. Well i didn't try and continued using stock rom.
Then i came to know that V20 is in the process of getting android 8 update soon from a android authority forum and i am still waiting.
I posted before in V20 forum that i am on a very old version of android 7 with patch level of December 2016 in this thread.
I am now thinking of installing the lineage os 14.1 which is the latest for my model. I tried searching for known bugs and issues and came to know that lineage os for h910 doesn't support second screen as of yet. Is there any solution or workaround for this? Because i love using the second screen.
2ndly i wanted to ask, if i unlock the bootloader and root the device, can i install the international version of v20 rom or it is not possible.
Please help me with these. I will be very thankful to you for your honest help.

The phone has been out for a while however i'm surprised there are no custom roms available for this phone yet.
Because those rom bakers only look for Phab 2 Pro... lol
2 plus is better, the way i see it. costs less, more people will get it and many would like to root and rom it.
im looking into getting it soon(if i can deal with letting another $200 go -just got the doogee y6max not long ago) I also just want to be sure i have the root process figured out. With the doogee, i asked for help and received none...but i still rooted it, luckily without problems.
I'm really hopeful some people jump in and get development going full speed on this phone(wishful thinking, maybe).
ROM tutorial, andriod for Levono phab 2 plus.
Hi I'm a developer and I have been looking for a custom ROM to upgrade my levono phab 2 plus to andriod 7.1 but it seems there is no such thing on the web, I'm wondering if does anyone know where I can find tutorials about how the ROM works and what should be modified in order to upgrade my phone? I can work on it it's just that I have no idea how android works so if can you provide information I will appreciate it.
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
I have a HTC 10 unlocked variant, recently updated to 8.0.0 Oreo. I didn't like Oreo, therefore I unlocked bootloader and downloaded newest Lineage OS 14.1 and flashed it through TWRP.
After flashing rom, there was no cellular network at all. Tried turning on airplane mode, inserting SIM card several times, nothing worked.
Home button didn't work as well.
The phone is not rooted, and it's S-ON.
Is there a solution for this problem?

So a lot of users have been unhappy about the Oreo update on Moto G5S. But the downgrade to 7.1 is not easy. But some people claim to have successfully downgraded to 7.1 from 8.1 and retained the IMEI (with Bootloader version 12). Can you guys post the detailed guide on how to do it properly, please. I also request the senior members to have a look at the guide and advice regarding the same so that we can avoid bricks and other issues. Thank You.

I have a doubt about Custom ROMs, I have a smartphone moto g40 fusion and right now I think updates are very rare in this smartphone so that's why i am thinking about installing custom rom like LineageOS or EvolutionX in moto g40. But I found last info about custom ROM was posted in Moto g40/60 forum was on May 2022 and it too much in past so will I get updates even if I install it right now. And if possible plz explain how update work in custom rom like how devs update them, like do they update only like LineageOS or specifically moto g40/60 LineageOS every time. thanx in advance .

As you can see here, @Raghu varma just updated his build on January 7th. Just remember, since this is an unofficial build you will have to manually update it.

Custom roms are updated at the discretion of the Dev.
They can stop updating at any time, or continue working on it for years.

I meant that there aren't OTA updates, you have to manually flash them.

Then will I have to flash my phone after every update release by Dev working on this phone.. is there any easy way to get update even after dev stop working on this Custom ROM like can I update it?, sorry for asking like this is going to be an easy task but I am just curious that may be it will be just building files from source code after copying updates from google to LineageOS for my phone. Thanx for clearing my doubts @ethical_haquer and @sd_shadow .

Yes, you would have to manually flash updates, and it requires quite a bit of expertise to build your own updates. The more popular a build is, the more likely it is that it will continue to be maintained.

Thanx uhh so much for your explanation @ethical_haquer . I think I should check out some details for basics of custom ROM building.... if possible (sorry for asking again and again) can you provide some roadmap like blueprint for basic ROM development or updating rom for personal phones.,

Would love to help, but I haven't gotten into building my own ROMs yet; I'm a Linux enthusiast, and just started running Lineage OS on my A52 4G and Raspberry Pi. You could try contacting @KonstaT though, he is maintaining a bunch of Lineage OS builds and might be able to help you, or at least point you in the right direction.
