Develop Bugs

[Q] I received the D851 10m OTA today. Some questions.

I have rooted, and I have xposed installed.
What is the upgrade procedure? Do I need to go so far as to remove root? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have T-mobile LG G3 and I also received 154 MB update this morning. My device was rooted with Xposed installed. After the updated, i lost my ROOT access, everything else remains the same. Hope this helps.

Another question, I found the ota.zip should I make flashable/rooted version? As far as I have looked, no one else has done it yet

Yes please! :good:

Got this just now...but don't wanna lose root. The notification is annoying as hell. I would flash and update if it won't bork everything but I'd settle for just getting rid of the notification. Anybody know how to get rid of it??
Everything I do or have is custom.... Period.

When I long press, I see "App Info" and when I press it, it shows Google Play Services.
When it is disabled, does the update go away, or is it still on my G3 waiting to be installed?
Anyone know how this happened? I'm rooted, with custom everything, and I have OTA updates disabled!
I'm doing a TWERP backup anyway.
Anyone that has installed the update - did you get root back?

GravityBox works.

If you are rooted you can also use "simple reboot" from the playstore. No need for gravitybox/exposed if you aren't in to that.....

Thanks. Tried simple reboot, but it only reboots to system. Not to recovery and not to bootloader.
Well i'm not sure wether I got the right app, there are many apps called "simple reboot"

Ah alright, well to be honest i didn't try it because i am always on custom roms which have this enabled by default. I was referring to the top one in the attached screenshot.

Andro needs a PC connected upon every reboot. You can apply at will, just upon reboot you will need PC connection.
Also that's the same one I use that works fine. It's not troublesome. It works great.

Yes and no.
Yes because it became very annoying, and was one of the reasons I rooted. Also no because that's how it's designed to work. So we take what we can get.

There is a magiak module in the substratum section that basically converts the windows bat file into a shell script, so you don't need to connect to your PC everytime, just a terminal on your phone will do. But you need root to run the shell script tho, so only useful if you're rooted and want to keep using Andromeda.

Supposedly the Andromeda method of compiling overlays better/recommended by the devs, idk the specifics. I just use it since I already bought Andromeda and don't want it to go to waste lol
Edit: thread in question: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/substratum/magisk-andromeda-enabler-enable-t3728325/page6
It's even endorsed by the substratum dev, so I guess it's not completely useless lol

You don't have too. Uninstall Andromeda and substratum, then reboot. Then install substratum again, grant it root, and theme away ?

Exactly my point in asking... I can't imagine any value in Andromeda for a rooted user. :good:

There isn't any advantage if you ask me. It's great getting rid of the umbilical cord known as Andromeda! Although, it is great for those who can't, or don't want to root ?

It’s nice being rooted and able to reboot phone without having to wait to get home ...but agree great for non root

I can't be certain, but I think there was a few more apps in the app drawer before I unlocked the bootloader. Update might have been one of them. Can't really say, I had the phone less than thirty minutes before I unlocked it and put twrp on it.
Then I flashed a modified boot.img that did not have "fileencrytion" on the fstab. And formatted /data to remove the encryption( this made developer option crash when I tried to open it, so I reflashed the stock boot.img)
Maybe that broke something.
I just read yesterday a post in other thread that said after a backup they were missing the "cust" partition and that was why they was missing. The update app
RSGI said:
Thanks man. *****
That was exactly what was missing to get this piece of junk to work again!!!!
i've nottest that this backup is missing some apps that i had on the stock rom, like the health app, huawei account and services and software update....
No big deal, perhaps the software update app bothers me a bit... maybe i'll find it somewhere...
After using this quiet confusing unbrick method, restored with your update and voila... it works
Back to where i started, the internal storage is encrypted again.... This really bothers me...
Thank you again!

Also please show what is mounted please.

Google Pay overlay issue?

I am having a hard time finding the culprit for the overlay preventing me from finishing the Google Pay setup. What am I missing? I am on RR.

Have you tried disabling all apps with overlay permissions?

I think so, if I would have known not to install anything with GP it would be much easier now to do.

Are you trying to install google pay while rooted? If so you need to unroot before you install Pay. You will also need to hide Pay from root using magisk hide.

Nope. However, if your just testing to see if your app works without root, I'd dirty flash your rom, then flash twrp again and let it boot up. You won't have root, but all your modules will still be there if you want to root again :good:

Thanks Badger!

Well I disabled all overlays except for Android system because I cannot undo it without root and still having issue with drawing over. Unable to hit the next button after after entering my three digit code and agreeing to the terms and conditions.
