Guide on LG V30 AOSP ROMs, troubleshooting & recommendations

0 0
Read Time:4 Minute, 13 Second


NOTE: I have stopped using LG V30 actively. So while many things below will be still useful, the guide does not have the list of bugs for Android 13 and above AOSP ROMs for now. Though I will update it once I get time to test Android 14 ROMs. #LGV30forever

On this page, I’ll basically talk about AOSP ROMs, their bugs, possible solutions, suggested Mods to use etc.

LG V30 Custom ROM reviews: https://aakashverma.com/lg-v30-all-custom-rom-video-reviews/

General Tips

1. All Pie AOSP ROMs except LOS16 Beta need Oreo Blobs i.e. Oreo Firmware
2. All Android 10 and 11 AOSP ROMs need Pie Blobs i.e. Stock Pie Firmware. Just use any pie firmware compatible with your variant.
3. If the ROM doesn’t boot for you or you have issue of camera & Flashlight not working then try using permissive SElinux. Flash this in TWRP and select permissive: https://zackptg5.com/downloads/Kernel-Sepolicy-Patcher.zip
4. Recommended Gapps: https://nikgapps.github.io/
5. If SafetyNet does not pass then apps like netflix, google pay may detect root and refuse to work. This be easily resolved by this module: https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix . Enable zygisk and also add the apps you want to hide root from to the denylist.
6. LG camera(and other LG apps) does not and will never work on AOSP. Use Gcam from here: https://t.me/Lgcam (Much better pictures than stock camera). Instead of LG music player you may try AIMP, UAPP or Neutron.

Kernel and ROM compatibility

1. Kernels made for Android 11 will disable wifi on stock pie and Android 10

2. Android 10 kernels will work on stock pie but will break wifi on A11.

3. Android 9 AOSP kernels can be used on Stock Oreo but not on Stock Pie, Android 10 and Android 11.

AOSP Pie ROMs after Stock Pie

If you flash pie KDZ then AOSP ROMs like LOS, RR, havoc won’t work properly.(might not boot or things like camera may not work).

Even if you flash Oreo KDZ and then flash AOSP ROMs, the camera and flashlight won’t work on enforcing but will work on permissive selinux.
But even on permissive a few sensors may not work(e.g. pocketmode). Still ROMs work decently if you downgrade to oreo firmware.
There is no workaround for this.

Note: Los17, Liquid Q and any other Android 10 ROMs need Pie firmware.

Stock Pie after Android 10 or 11 AOSP ROMs

If Camera and flashlight doesn’t work for you on stock pie after AOSP ROMs then do this:-
1) Restore persist in TWRP that you backed up from stock Pie
2) Dirty flash twrp zip of the stock ROM
3) If 1 doesn’t work then Flash this in TWRP and select permissive: https://zackptg5.com/downloads/Kernel-Sepolicy-Patcher.zip . This will definitely fix the camera for you.

Bugs on Android 12 ROMs (Work in progress/ not a definitive list)

  1. No VoLTE or VoWifi.
  2. USB debugging issue of some ROMs.

Bugs on Android 11 ROMs

  1. No VoLTE or VoWifi
  2. AOD brightness can’t changed. OLED Saver app can be used to change it.
  3. If you have GPS issues then do this fix: https://t.me/LGV30U/1187
  4. Chrome freezes and does not work for some people. Use chrome v74 or another browser.
  5. FM radio does not work.
  6. Most Gcams have trouble recording videos.

Bugs on Android 10 ROMs
1. Wifi may or May not work for you
If it doesn’t work then try: https://t.me/LGV30U/914
2. If wifi is unstable try Flashing oreo modem(using img file in twrp)
a) H930 Modem: https://t.me/LGV30U/128
b) US998 Modem: https://t.me/LGV30U/124
3. AOD brightness can’t changed. OLED Saver app can be used to change

4. Android Auto doesn’t work (Solved on Resurrection Remix 8.6.7)
5. No VoLTE or VoWifi
6. Turn off wifi scanning under location settings otherwise you’ll have soft reboots while turning on/off Wifi.
If you are having sim issues after a soft reboot because of this, turn airplane mode on and off!
7. Sprint has some issues: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/sprint-lte-data-issues-aosp-roms-t3927841
8. Screencast doesn’t work too well.
9. While on call, touchscreen still takes input even when display is turned off via proximity sensor.

Bugs on Pie ROMs

1. No VoLTE or VoWifi
2. AVC reset bug when you pause and play music.
3. Have to say ‘Ok Google’ twice to launch google assistant.
4. Static sound on loudspeaker on video calls, PUBG etc. Use earphones and it will work fine.
5. Sprint has some issues: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/sprint-lte-data-issues-aosp-roms-t3927841
6. U.S. Verizon carrier users have to make a phone call after any reboots to receive texts.
7. Screencast broken.

Warning: These are from my experience. Using customs ROMs can cause you issues. I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device so proceed with caution.

Motorola Razr 2019 Foldable Phone expected to Launch at November 13 Los Angeles Event

0 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 3 Second

Motorola’s foldable smartphone has been leaking all over the internet for the past year. We finally have a official word on when it might actually launch. Motorola has chosen to play on people’s nostalgic side by launching it under the iconic Razr brand which was once known for offering premium-looking clamshell phones and form factor of a flip phone. Motorola Razr will be directly competing against the likes of Huawei Mate X and Samsung Galaxy Fold with its foldable design. VP of Global Product Dan Dery in a media interview back in February had said “We started to work on foldables a long time ago,”teasing the launch of a foldable phone.

Suggesting the comeback of the Razr brand, the invite reads, “An original unlike any other.” and also mentions “You’re going to flip.”

The specifications will be:-

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC
  • 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage
  • 6.2-inch (876×2142 pixels) folding display alongside a secondary display of 600×800 pixels resolution.

Motorola will take a different approach of putting a single flexible display that folds twice and comes with a dual-hinge design. It will carry a price tag of around EUR 1,500 (Rs. 1,20,000) and will be unveiled at November 13 Los Angeles Event.

How to be happy- The pursuit of Happiness.

1 0
Read Time:3 Minute, 29 Second

What is your goal? What is it that drives you? After achieving your goal how do you feel? You feel happy, right? So does that mean your eventual goal is to be happy?

What is happiness? We can find a lot of different definitions for Happiness, but we know it when we feel it, and we often use the term to describe a range of positive emotions, including joy, pride, contentment, and gratitude. Happiness is a state of mind.

Many people associate success with happiness and they feel that they can be happy only if they are successful which shouldn’t be the case because success is circumstantial and happiness is not. You can stay happy even if you don’t own a big bungalow, fast car or a large bank balance. But the important thing is that you must first identify what makes you happy?

1. Change the way you think: Glass half full. Occupy your mind with positive thoughts. Look for the positive in all your experiences. The old saying that you find what you look for is true. Start. Because of this, make it a habit to actively seek out the positive in any experience.

Focusing on your experiences in the present moment without worrying too about the future. If you have 10 tasks, break it down. Set a goal that you have to complete 2 of those tasks by tomorrow and don’t worry about the other 8. Accept harsh experiences and problems as learning opportunities. It can be tempting to let challenges or roadblocks keep us from feeling happy. Sometimes, it looks like there’s nothing good about a particular situation or experience. However, it’s important to think about even the greatest setbacks as experiences we can learn from for great results in the future tomorrow.

Cultivate optimism. Why does winning the lottery not make people happy? In the 1970s, researchers followed people who’d won the lottery and found that a year afterward, they were no happier than people who hadn’t. This is called hedonic adaptation,which suggests that we each have a “baseline” of happiness to which we return. No matter what events occur, good or bad, the effect on our happiness is temporary, and happiness tends to quickly revert to the baseline level. Some people have a higher baseline happiness level than others, and that is due in part to genetics, but it’s also largely influenced by how you think

 “I’m terrible at math. I’m going to fail that test tomorrow. I might as well just watch TV.” This statement suggests that your math skills are inherent and unchangeable, rather than a skill you can develop with work. Such an outlook could lead you to study less because you feel like there’s no point to it — you’re just an inherently bad mathematics student. This isn’t helpful.

An optimistic outlook would say something like “I’m concerned about doing well on that test tomorrow, but I’m going to study as well as I can and do my best.” Optimism doesn’t deny the reality of challenges, but it interprets how you approach them differently.

Show yourself self-compassion. Beating yourself up or giving in to negative thoughts can leave you feeling weak and unhappy. Dwelling on negative thoughts or feelings of guilt doesn’t promote improvement; it actually hoslds you back from growing and learning. Instead, show yourself the same kindness and generosity you should show to a friend

Make friends, happiness can be contagious. But stay away to from depressing people.


Meditate:

In one study, a research team from Massachusetts General Hospital looked at the brain scans of 16 people before and after they participated in an eight-week course in mindfulness meditation. Neuroimaging concluded that after completing the course, parts of the participants’ brains associated with compassion and self-awareness grew, and parts associated with stress shrank.

9. Move Closer to Work: A Short Commute is Worth More Than a Big House

If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.

Happiness is Not A Final Destination but it’s a journey!

The most dangerous creature in the world is …. the Smartphone? Your smartphone addiction could be fatal.

0 0
Read Time:4 Minute, 18 Second

Which is the deadliest creature on earth according to you? Sharks are considered one of the most deadly creatures on earth. But the surprising fact according to CNtraveller is that selfies are more dangerous. Yes, you read it right. More people have died while taking selfies (11) than those killed by sharks(8) in the previous year.

The number of mobile phone users globally are 4.8 billion according to a study released by GSM Association (GSMA) 

The average user checks his/her smartphone at least 46 times a day and in the United States, people collectively do this 8 billion times in 24 hours (App Annie). According to emarketer the average time spent by people in USA is 2 hours 54 mins screen on time. Several researchers have raised concerns about health problems due to the excessive use of smartphones.

An interesting thing that I’ve noticed is children throwing tantrums to play on smartphones. Well giving them your phone to play may save from a lot of headaches, but it could prove to be damaging to kids. According to researchers, a smartphone is harmful to a child’s ability to learn because it distracts their attention and thus affects their mental health. According to Jenny Radesky, MD, clinical instructor in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics at Boston University: “These devices also may replace the hands-on activities important for the development of sensorimotor and visual-motor skills, which are important for the learning and application of math and science,” Nowadays I rarely see kids playing the park, all I see kids wanting to use their parents’ phones.

Another problem is the rise in Cyberbullying. The perfect example of this is the Blue whale challenge to which more than 130 deaths have been linked to in Russia and is rapidly spreading across India. In this challenge the so-called admins target emotionally unstable youngsters. Initially they give them challenges like taking selfie at 4 AM. The later tasks are much more devious, like cutting yourself or harming others. And the 50th and final task is to kill yourself. And if at any stage you refuse cooperate, the admins blackmail and bully you into doing tasks. Take the case of a grade 10 student from Madhya Pradesh who had completed 49 tasks and was being forced to commit suicide.

You save money whole month to buy those nice pair of shoes you’ve been eyeing for weeks. And bam, a pop up to buy items within a game pops up and you accidentally click on buy. Congrats you just got a 100 gems for 2000 rupees in a game rarely play to pass time. Luckily Amazon customers, a court ruling directed Amazon to start refunding $70 million that kids and adults accidentally spent in apps and games. However all parents aren’t so lucky.

There can be more direct threats too. The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. Nearly 330,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving.1 out of every 4 car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving. Texting while driving is 6x more likely to cause an accident than driving drunk. According to 2012 National survey on distracted driving attitude and behaviours nearly half (48%) of drivers admit to answering their cell phones while driving.

Famous tech reviewer Marques Brownlee often says good smartphones are getting cheaper and cheap smartphones are getting are better. The decrease in prices of smartphones has resulted in an exponential growth in the adoption of smartphones. Which unlike computers are harder to monitor for parents. The decrease in prices of Internet data has also increased the uptake of smartphones. According to Forrester, a global research firm, mobile device usage is expected to reach more than 5.5 billion users by 2022 worldwide. India currently has a smartphone user base of over 300 million.

Cell phones and handheld mobile devices have diverse capabilities. The more diverse the functions of the cell phone the stronger are the attachment of the user to the device.

Ours is the first generation that’s using smartphones for a major part of our lives. We’ve already seen what kind of damage the influx of this technology is capable of doing. We cannot even begin to fathom the effects of long term usage of smartphones on our health. A life without smartphones seems unthinkable There could be some solutions:-

Internet is the soul of smartphones. Cut off the Internet once the user reaches the maximum data allotment. The ideal solution is to limit access to the Internet for teenagers. Parents can adjust settings and apply limitations when the data reached the maximum.

There are even some apps like “Break free” that monitor your smartphone usage and notify whenever your usage gets close to an unhealthy amount. With that I would like to close with a quote by Aldous Huxley: Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backward. Even Google has introduced digital well- being in most recent Android smartphones to help you monitor your smartphone usage.

My Early Life story | Toastmasters ICE breaker Project 1 Speech.

0 0
Read Time:4 Minute, 56 Second

The following is an Introduction speech I wrote for my Project 1 Ice breaker speech for Toastmasters. In this speech, I talk about my early life. It is an interesting story if I say so myself. I haven’t

“Anything that doesn’t kill you, makes you stranger.

Good evening, Mr.(or Madam) Toastmaster, fellow members and guests,

I was born in Delhi, but soon afterward moved to Shimla. I lived in Shimla for about seven years. I wasn’t always this handsome hunk you see before you. My family had a tradition where the child’s hair won’t be cut until the age of 2.5 years. For whatever reason, that didn’t happen for me. So until the age of 7 years, people thought I was a girl because of my long hair and fair color. Until the age of 10, I was an average guy without a care in the world. However, that soon changed. I was terrible in Mathematics and to make matters worse, I had a terrible teacher with a vendetta against me. I’m sure many of you can relate to my situation. Around this time I and my father had very little interaction. However, he came to rescue this time. He usually had to work even on holidays, despite that, he took out time and taught me mathematics We looked at my previous exam sheets and realized the teacher had crossed many of the questions I had done correctly. I used to play cricket and badminton with kids who were a lot older than me. This changed me a lot. I now believed you can do anything with hard work and it encouraged me to stand up for the right thing no matter who you are up against.

Gradually I  became very competitive and outspoken. With my competitiveness, I improved greatly both in academics and sports. I got into most sports teams of my school. I also started participating in various debates, stage plays, recitals and even hosted a few events.

However, my love life went in a different direction. I received my first love letter when I was in 7th grade. It was 4 pages long and had an MCQ question. And I had two options: 1) Yes, I love you and 2)I don’t. Everyone had already been teasing me about her. Now I did not know what to do about the letter. This girl that I barely knew was somehow in love with me. The girl was getting impatient. I don’t know why but I returned the letter with a yes. And it was the beginning of a unique relationship, a one that I could have never imagined.  It was special because I never came to know when it ended or if there was a relationship, to begin with. We barely talked after I returned the letter. All my other endeavors in love ended similarly.

I felt I had reached a peak in my life when I completed 10th standard. I was great in sports, scored 10 CGPA in 10th standard and was a pretty good speaker. And like any good son, I chose science in 11th or rather it chose me. I pursued to be an engineer from IIT. I applied for admission to St. Columba’s school as it was considered one of the best schools and was very near to my place of residence. Around 200 students gave the exam for admission. I felt I wasn’t going to make it. I was preparing to console my parents when we went to go see the results, only to find I had scored the maximum marks. I was very happy at the moment, but now I think it would’ve been better if I hadn’t gotten in. I felt like an outsider because the students knew each other since kindergarten. They actually said that I wasn’t a true “Columban”. Coming from a Co-ed school, the all-boys school gave me weird vibes all through my 2 years there. An absurd set of foolish rules didn’t help either. Getting into IIT became my life objective, nothing else mattered.I started off confidently, however, after some time every day became a struggle. The uncertainty of whether I would be able to make it after so much of effort and sacrifice made it really hard. I was drawn to TV shows and tech for comfort. Most of my college friends now know me as the Tech guy who has seen every TV show there is. After 2 years of struggle, I made it to IIT and chose to study at IIT Delhi because of its proximity to home. I went to the hostel 4 days before the commencement of classes. I came to know about various things about IIT in those 4 days(most of which was useless information). I fell ill the first day of classes. For about 4 days I got really really sick. No one knew what it was. Then we came to know I actually had dengue and all the medicines I had been taking made it worse. My platelets count dropped so much I had to be hospitalized for a week and had to be supplied with blood. When I went back to IIT, I realized dengue was all rage there. They gave us all sorts of useless information but nobody mentioned we should take precautions against dengue. With each day from terrible mess food to ridiculous management, I realized IITs are nowhere as great as they are hyped up to be. I’m now in my sophomore year and I don’t have as great marks or resume as my fellow students. I no idea what I’m going to do. Still, I’m not worried, because. But I have faced many more difficulties and endured. The more difficulties I face, the stronger my will gets.

The only constant in life is change. So make sure it changes to something better.”

LG V30 All Custom ROMs’ video reviews

0 0
Read Time:2 Minute, 12 Second

I will be making a playlist to some ROMs for the LG V30(I use H930DS IND). The main purpose of these videos is to let you know about the features and how the ROM looks. I will also talk about battery life, performance and any bugs that are there, but obviously, your experience with the ROM could be different than mine. I will try to add videos of all ROMs available for our device.
I did something similar for the Oneplus 5 and Moto X Style as well and people liked it, so I have created a playlist for LG V30 as well. 

IF any dev of their rom does not want the video on youtube let me know and I’ll remove it immediately.

Redmi 8 leaks with 5,000mAh Battery | Xiaomi Says, Will Be a ‘Powerful’ smartphone

0 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 8 Second

Redmi 8 would have a teardrop-style display notch, which Xiaomi calls a Dot Notch. At the back, the phone appears to have the dual rear camera setup along with an LED flash module as well as a traditional, circular fingerprint sensor.

Redmi 8: front and back

In terms of specifications, the dual-SIM Redmi phone runs Android 9 Pie and features a 6.217-inch HD+ (720×1520 pixels) TFT display along with a 19:9 aspect ratio. The handset is powered by MediaTek Helio G90T SoC an octa-core SoC clocked at 2.0GHz, paired with 2GB, 3GB, and 4GB RAM options and 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB of internal storage variants. Furthermore, users can expand the built-in storage through a microSD card (up to 512GB). The dual rear camera setup of the Redmi phone includes a 12-megapixel primary sensor. There is also an 8-megapixel selfie camera.

The smartphone will have a 5,000mAh battery. This is significantly larger in capacity over the 4,000mAh battery available on the Redmi 7. Further, it will also have 18W fast charging support. In terms of dimensions, the Redmi phone with model number M1908C3IC measures 156.3×75.4×9.4mm. It also weighs 190 grams.

It is highly likely that Indian Variant will have a Snapdragon processor because of patent lawsuits against Xiaomi for using Mediatek in India.
