Technical rom question - LG Optimus G Pro

Is it technically possible to make a custom android 10 or android 11 rom for this phone?

Technically possible? Maybe? Will it be able to even run it decently? Probably not. This device is nearly 7-8 years old, it wouldn't be worth the hassle for the performance you'd get

If you are looking for something newer check out the LG V20 or V30 as they should be able to run a custom Android 10 or 11 Rom.

No more roms from xioami.eu for RN8 Pro.

Bad notice for our RN8 Pro. No more roms from xioami.eu for the RN8 pro for lots of brick by flashing magisk, twrp or modules.

Well there not doing it right because my phone's working mint with custom recovery and root. They jumped ship to soon.
Yeah sad news.
It's starting to look development will be limited as always with mediatek devices.
I'm satisfied with root and stable EU 10.4.5 except for the Google dialer without call recording.
But I'm not even sure if it's safe to update to latest stable 11 global EU. Snapdragon would have been the safer choice.

I agree. I m on stable from xiaomi.eu with magisk and twrp working perfect. The problem is android 10 in dev rom. No recovery with android Q suport for rn8 pro. I remember lots of brick in rn5 pro (SD) with rollback. And all was solved in a few weeks. Very disappointed with xiaomi.eu.

Yah the problem is there updating the hell out if this device and it's getting more & more updates. It's hard to build a development on something that's constantly changing. Right now I'm looking into cooking up a custom kernel for the RN8 pro. It needs that right now for the audio mods like viper and LKT and kernel audiator because you can't manipulate the parameters of the audio. Right now I'm happy with the stock rom it works good and it's stable. I've never built a kernel so I foresee a brick coming my way. Lol

So if it's true it was only because of Android 10, they should have just freezed development for that. Not stable 9, they removed those downloads too.
Does anyone know safe procedure to update rooted 9.4.5 EU global (not xiaomi.eu) to 11.0.1.0 ? Is it worth it anyway?

I'm very interested in trying. I have done a lot of research and downloaded Android ndk and Android studio. Prob is I run windows 10 pro and it seems developing is a lot easier with ubuntu fedora. I have a laptop modified with ubuntu already established. Haha my gf gets mad as hell when I brick phones and I just laugh and say I'll get it. Unfortunately my back up my mi mix 3 I'm waiting for my screen replacement to come in. Might be using the old modded to death lg g3.
Ah, bad news indeed. I hope it'll quickly resolved. G90T is such promising SoC
One question, is source code still broken? No new news from xiaomi? Maybe xiaomi just taking their time to give us Android 10 codes instead short lived PIE codes. Unfortunatelly, I can't help because zero experiences in programming

Haha. Yah mines seen some stuff. Ruining brand new devices. Brand new lg v20 blew the q fuse she was pissed. There is a guy on here at xda that is lisenced to EDL mode he can unbrick via TeamViewer for like 2.50$ and he's willing to help. Are you rooted with TWRP installed.

I've got twrp and magisk root running.
Normally I'd just flash full zip and flash magisk, wipe cache and reboot.
I'm just wondering if someone upgraded to 11 rooted and what procedure.
How's 11 anyway compared to 10?

I was in miui 11 stock (oficial upgrade) , flashed twrp, installed miui 11 stable xiaomi.eu and root. I bricked the phone flashing dev rom android 10. I think android 9 roms are safe to flash anything. The problem is in android 10 roms. Be careful.
I use xiaomi.eu on my begonia.
Fast and very very low battery drain - better than official global rom from xiaomi.
its sad about end of develop this soft. Only android 10 have problem with flash and do brick.

No roms in xiaomi.eu servers for rn8 pro. I flashed images of stock fastboot rom (tgz format). I delete the dev rom xiaomi.eu.

Mi 6 after EOL

Pretty soon our device will get the EOL phase and i was wondering what happens, i mean, newer miui version will come across but android will remain on pie, is it normal for devs of miui devices to make a rom for example miui 12 android 10 (and so on)?

I don't know if there's any motivation to port the Android 10 MIUI to our phones, but the other custom ROMs will still be updated

Android 11

I wanted to know is there any chances that android 11 comes to this device as a custom rom before oxygen 11 ??
Yes I'm pretty confident as it's still got time until updates stop

Oxygen will most likely arrive first, devs might be waiting too for libs and kernel drivers and stuff from oxygen

General OOS12 is the worst OOS ever

Basically, it just changed the user interface of Coloros 12 to OOS12, which is a completely different system compared to the previous OOS, and within half an hour after I updated to OOS12, I was back to OOS11. It's a complete waste of time
i agree oos12 is ****ing dogwater lmao
Is it possible to install ColorOS 12 over OOS12?
Why did Oneplus ruin my new oneplus 9 pro with this crap. Now I am back to rooting and Rom'ing, in order to be on android 12 that isn't a complete disaster?
(rhetorical question).
I thought 11 was a downgrade from 10, as well. But nothing like this. And I could get 10 for 9 pro, since it released with 11

what did you decide on? i feel like 12 is bad all around unless there is a pixel experience one or a A11 themed 12

Any way to downgrade 12 to 11 ? Or i need to root and go for custom firmware?
Look here: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/closed-downgrade-to-android-11.1533089/
Oxygen OS 12, or should I say Color OS? is a disaster. I went back to 11 after like 1 hour.

Use MSM tool to flash. The best way to go back clean.

I did last weekend but immediately went back to oos11 due to no working data.
I will wait untill we have a trick to record call like OOS11.

custom rom time
For what it's worth, OOS 11 did not give me the performance on the 5G Network that OOS 12 is giving me now.
OOS 11 I simply edited the policy restrictions in order to access the 5G cell towers and the download speeds were 50% slower than a comparable 5G capable handset (iPhone 13 pro max, Motorola Razr 5G, One+ 8T 5G). Even after unlocking the bootloader, rooting and reapplying the modified policy restriction.xml the One+ 9 Pro on the OOS 11 had poor 5G download speed.
OOS 12 with unlocked bootloader, rooted, and using 5G switch (playstore app) the 5G download speeds improved greatly. I would say they are 50% faster than same handset on OOS 11. I cannot access engineering mode and therefore modify the policy restriction.xml file like on OOS 11, but given the faster download speeds I'll take it for now. For what it's worth, 5G switch would not work on OOS 11.
Another great option that OOS 12 has is a separate volume level for Ringtone and Text Tone. I NEED to be able to hear my text tone alert (which is usually a very short burst) all the while keeping the volume of the ring tone down so that I can take my time to analyze who is calling without disturbing those around me. OOS 11 combines ring tone and text tone under one forced volume setting, which blows imho.
I personally don't find the interfaces of the two much different, and cannot say that I have noticed any real speed differences or battery consumption pros and cons. I do like the graphical design of OOS 11 over OOS 12, but that can be improved by using different Launchers if that is your thing.
Cheers
Buyer beware - the latest OTA for OOS 12 comes with (apparently) an encrypted-ish bootloader that refuses to boot patched/rooted kernels or recoveries. I learned this the hard way on my 8t. So if you want keep root, it's MSM and custom ROM time.

Nothing new and nothing to be worried about. You need to disable boot verification by flashing a blank Vbmeta.img, and after that everything works like it's out of the box.

Cannot update ATT LG G8 - Stuck on Android 9

So I bought a G8 for super cheap from a friend just to use on wifi, and now I'm learning you cant update without an ATT Sim (which is incredibly dumb imo) and I don't have one. I've looked for guides and seen a lot of mismatching information and its pretty confusing as I'm new to this. Is it possible to manually flash the newer firmwares to update? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Pie a better OS than 10.
Rule #1 - if a OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be.
That's what this N10+ is running on, zero issues.
