Hello! Just wanted to know is there a way to install LG G4 native apps like contacts, messages, weather widget etc on my A2Lite? I have got the apk from LG G4, but when I try to install it says cannot install. Any solution? I really like the weather widget and message app of LG G4.
I believe LG apps require LG's special framework, so you wouldn't be able to simply install LG apps on a stock Android device, as the LG UX framework doesn't exist on the device. Also, those apps from the LG G4 are meant for an older version of Android (I believe from Android 5.0 to possibly Android 7.0), therefore the compatibility with Android 9.0 isn't guaranteed.
So, all in all, you cannot run LG stock apps on a non LG device and non LG UX Android OS without extensive porting and recoding in order to ensure the full operation if the app.

Thank you for your reply.
G4 had features like turn phone to silent the call, pic phone to answer etc, can these be added by using Magisk?

I'm not particularly sure about that, I know there were some similar modules for the Xposed Framework, however Xposed is currently not supported by Android 9.0 and by no means should you attempt to install it, as your device will be bricked.
Try searching the web for Magisk Modules, maybe you'll find a list somewhere and hopefully you'll find what you're looking for

Hello!
According to Google, Huawei Nova 3e is P20 Lite, so you should go to this section.
installed recovery but not rooted
You are in the wrong forum. This is for the original Nova, not the device you have.
Hi,
I am about to buy Nova 3 or 3i when available, but my friend told me not to buy Kirin because I wont be able to modify it.
I dont modify phone unless I have to, like if after 2 years Huawei stopped the updates and I cant afford the new one, then I want to install new rom or new android.
Is my friend correct?
Thanks

Hi!
Kinda all Huawei phones are dead on XDA and the fact that it has Kirin it matters a lot. You see, Kirin is like Mediatek. If you want XDA support, then don't buy a phone with Mediatek or Kirin, because this matters a lot when it comes to development. Qualcomm is simply the best out there. Of course, there's phones with Qualcomm which lacks XDA support too, like Nova, Sony's phones and some others I guess, but having Mediatek / Kirin wouldn't help that and it would actually do the contrary.
Also, Huawei won't allow unlocked bootloader anymore soon, so you won't be able to install any ROM (not even root), but you'll be able to be stuck with an outdated security patch and with an outdated Android version because Huawei says that the phone is not eligible for the newer Android version.
If I would want to buy a new phone now, I think I'd look into the Xiaomi ones since they have good XDA support and they're cheap.
Thanks. Its a pity because I am looking forward for Huawei Nova 3.
I guess, theres no other choice now, I will try to go for Mi8 SE
I am looking to install the latest stable Lineage OS, which I believe is 14.1, on my rooted LG G3 D850 running Kitkat.
1) Can I still use and install apps from the play store ?
2) There are a few pre-installed apps from the LG OS that I like, mainly Visual Voicemail and Weather.
Can I somehow use these ?
3) When will Lineage support Android 8 or newer?
4) When a Lineage OS update is available, do I need to go through the complete install process and loose all my data ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Is it possible to fix the problem of LG g3 cat6 to update from Android version 6 to Android version 9
Which is the latest Android version on 18 may 2019.
This is specially because pressing update button not working, and even enabled auto updates don't work.
How to fix this problem.
Best regards.
It's not a problem and nothing to fix. Marshmallow is/was the last for the G3. There was no Nougat and no Oreo. Why would you think there would be a Pie? The G3 is EOL, plain and simple.
My favorite device and daily driver but that's the reality.
Essential PH-1, /e/ 0.6-n ROM, microG (NoGapps), XDA Legacy
@plo6g9, I forgot to mention, so even though we never got any stock past Marshmallow there were a lot of custom ROMs to enjoy. Pie included. Not sure of your variant but you can check out the G3 Development threads and maybe others specific to your variant.

I've been reading some webs that install lineageos on a LG G8 trough TWRP it this possible?
I have a LG G8 At&t ??* stuck on Android 9
You'll need to root your phone and get TWRP to work (there's a guide for it somewhere in the guide section of this forum). After that you should be able to flash a GSI (https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble).
As far as I know the G8 is an AB device, you should still check with an app though.
Just be aware that not everything works 100% of the time, it's hit or miss with GSIs. Sometimes Bluetooth doesn't work, sometimes sound doesn't, sometimes calls aren't available etc.
Make sure you really want to commit to that.

You will only be able to root if you can get to Android 10

Hi guys, how are you?
I've tried a few things here, but I'm running out of ideas.
I have a Mi9 Explorer Edition. This is a phone that no longer receives updates from Xiaomi, and I rely on the people from this forum and Telegram to update it. I'm using version V14.0.23.5.8.DEV. This ROM comes with a lot of Chinese stuff and is built on top of a Chinese ROM.
I removed several apps that come with the ROM and installed Google Play Store (although I couldn't get it verified).
I tried the standard installation, but I couldn't. I tried via Samsung Health, but I couldn't. I tried via Chinese Wear OS and couldn't.
Question: Does it need to have the Play Store verified? If I get a Global ROM, is it likely to have more success?
Thanks.
