Hello First of all, I want to thank to CYANOGENMOD your work.

Today, there isn’t ROOT method for LineageOS 16 for LG G3, because there isn’t “addonSU” for Lineage OS 16.   (Kingroot neither works on LG G3 android 9, only works in KitKat).

 

I had to flash LineageOS 15 and flash addonSU_15.1.  RUNNING GOOD.

It is very good too. Thanks for the ROMs!!

Would this rom work on the lg g4?

@vladmataoan

No, this will not work on LG G4, because both the phones are different in every aspect.

By the way, which model of LG G4 do you have?
May be I can find a Custom ROM for your phone!
