*Full wipe recommended if coming from another rom due do the settings database varying and no way to make them compatible*
My personal Omni Rom 5.0 is based on omnirom with the following additions:
CM12 File Manager
CM11 ssh terminal commands
Bash shell
Nano text editor
Koush's full featured open source superuser integrated into settings***(see potential quirk)
Cyanogenmod custom host name
Cyanogenmod screen off volume key long press music control
The list of personal touches isn't very long right now but they include
Battery percent displayed next to battery icon
Battery icon changes color based on percent: 0-15 red, 16-50 yellow, 51-100 green
Disabled lock screen full screen music.
Disabled SELinux at the kernel
Up to 1.6GHz CPU OC
Automatic 400MHz GPU OC
Not Working/Quirky
Bluetooth audio
Mic can be quirky.
Stock camera (not included) would crash on camera change, photo/video change. Try this open source alternative instead. Full featured, nice and fast.
AOSP keyboard swipe doesn't work: google's fault.
Cellular data probably doesn't work. phone call audio doesn't work. The rest is reported ok.
Flashing SuperSU might cause issues since the su daemon is started by the ram disk script since boot scripts apparently don't work.
Plugging in a charger when turned off causes the tablet to turn on with the touch screen disabled.
Everything else not listed as a quirk probably works.

OMFFFFFFG: insane boot loop 10 seconds after lock screen: install any rom from the year 2015.
Missing gapps: remember to reflash after every rom.
Adblock hosts stopped working: remember to reapply ad block hosts after ever flash.
Google maps 9+ doesn't work due to an illegal instruction exception. No practical way to fix it. Install google maps 8.4 it works now. Make sure you use the latest google maps.
No keyboard: Settings --> Language & Input --> Current Keyboard --> Hardware (show input method) turn this on.
AOSP swipe doesn't work: apparently google removed these lines of code from aosp keyboard.
Launcher 3 crashes on boot since Feb 8 build: I switched to CM's launcher since it has some customizability. Go to /data/data/com.android.launcher3 FROM RECOVERY and erase this folder.
THIS IS A TEST ROM. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT
For those of you who are itching to try the android 5.1 build I've done some basic quick testing and I like how it's going. The chromium bug I got this afternoon seems to be taken care of with 2 commits. Look at them if you want to know the secret
Installation Instructions (may not be complete as I've installed a lot of zip files. Please try and fill in the missing holes as the rom does install and boot)
Reboot recovery
Wipe data
Format system
RE reboot into recovery
install rom
install my recommended android 5.0 gapps (have heard issues using others but not tried it myself)
try it out
report the bugs
What works: everything thing that worked in 5.0 should continue working.
The camera app has a bit of a "confidence" problem. It will crash on switching to front/back photo/video but if you open it again it will do what you wanted. Sometimes it doesn't crash. Give the camera app patience.

Great news. Downloading asap.
Is just enough to have WiFi on, or it must also connect to some network to avoid bootloop? I'm concerned what happens if I turn it on in the desert where there's no Wi-Fi whatsoever?
Hi.For p4 expected? Thanks.

Just on. No connection necessary. You can also feel free to turn it off after a few minutes of just being on. Just remember to turn it back on before a reboot or weekly flash.

Well in that case try using the new twrp 2.8.1.0 I just posted. I used that later on in the testing of flashing the rom. It's in the first page instructions under first time flashing. I added a link to the new recovery.

Can't download twrp2810-wifi.zip from mediafire, always only download 2m then interrupted.
Anybody who can send me a twrp2810-wifi.zip, my email is
[email protected]
Thank you very much!
mediafire failing to download any file I try to download from it
Can't download twrp2810-wifi.zip from mediafire , I am having a problem too with mediafire, each time I click on download , it refreshes loops the download page, no file is able to access, I think it has something to do with our ISP, we moved into a place that you can only use hughesnet to access the web, I can't get DSL from the house my parents got etc.. , I tried the cleaning the cache like this page
http://topkpop.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/solution-for-mediafire-continuous-refresh-download-problem/
it says that removing cookies fixies this but it is not , still failing to access any files off of mediafire, I was able to create a mediafire account , and download their desktop software, but can't get files like from your links to work, it seems , I have tried internet explorer, firefox, and google chrome, each browser doesn't want to let me download etc to save the file, The only thing I have yet to try is use my android tablet to access the links, I don't no if mediafire will work right or not over my android, if my download pc doesn't download it, from my wireless network ,
my android tablet also can't access the files. I just tried to download twrp2810-wifi.zip from mediafire off of browser on android , when you click download it keeps looping and freshing the page, but what it doesn't do is download, I am in US, CA so it shouldn't be blocking me from downloading files, not sure why this seems to be happening, it was not a problem with our old isp before me moved etc..
I don't no if this explains it, but on android , when click download it reloads this page"http://www.mediafire.com/download/6hc9ws7sd96j3nn", instead of this "http://www.mediafire.com/download/6hc9ws7sd96j3nn/twrp2810-wifi.zip" I been tried to click download over and over , even the repair download thing, doesn't do anything , after clicking on download a few, times I got that message.
I am able to use
Downloads
Mediafire folder
Click on the files, and use the copy to my accounts folder option, which sync it to the desktop software, that feature is working for me, just not mediafire download pages
anyway can you give me access to the folder, that has Flash file TWRP 2.8.1.0, since then I could click the copy feature of mediafire, and transfer it to my account on mediafire, and it will download and sync the file to my folder on my computer, thats the only way or simplist way to get passed that looping on download page problem, or maybe copy the file into your mediafire folder if that also possible I hope,
don't have to have the newest version to flash right away , but it would be nice if I was able to access it, to flash anyway, I still got the 2.7 version of twrp, after using android 4.4.4 nameless etc.. before I got problems with mediafire from my web browser problem, and access to cwm boot flash manager too, which I found files on the web for flashing with touch screen option, while browsing the forums here
attached downloads will download no problem, and other websites besides mediafire will also work just fine for me, since it seems to be a mediafire download page problem only bug,
also talking about bugs, does this rom have that power on charging , bug like the rom [AOSP] Android 5.0.0 Lollipop (LRX21V) has?
"Whenever I try to charge the tab while it's turned off, it boots up. Is this a new feature of Android 5.0? Also it doesn't respond to touches. " , on its last page I read that its a new feature of the android 5.0 based on aosp rom, it reads " It turns out there is a new feature in Lollipop to boot from charger but it is not enabled by default. It is only for one specific device at the moment. I reverted the code anyways but the problem still exists. So the issue lies deeper some where." , source information can be found here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-5-0-0-lollipop-lrx21m-p4wifi-t2938870/page17
if this rom doesn't have that problem, maybe something can be learned from it , to fix the bug in the other rom, since our tablets , don't like that feature, since it locks up our tablets touchscreen from doing anything but hard rebooting them etc.. when plugged into power when in off mode etc...

Was able to download TWRP and gapps just fine but the ReCaptcha you have to complete in order to download the ROM won't load a picture. I have tried on my tablet, phone and computer... Able to pass a ReCaptcha on other pages just fine, clearly an issue with this specific download page. Anyone else having this issue?

I know its still early development for 5.0 rom versions of android 5.0, do you guys know why scummvm version 1.7.0 release will not download and install, it keeps failing to download for me on android 5.0, from google play website, also the development version 1.8.0 direct from scummvm will install but crashes on play, off of http://scummvm.org/
I know that scummvm app, worked for android 4.4.4 nameless rom, I used it under that android before, never crashed that I can remember, I hope as android 5.0 builds makes progress that whatever causing it to crash gets fixed. I am not sure if its something that needs to be fixed in the android os system of 5.0, or if its something that needs fixing in the scummvm app, that causes it to crash under android 5.0, maybe future development builds of scummvm will fix the crashing under android 5.0.
and below a fix to the charging bug I think its a fix I have yet to test it from this page, since both our based on android 5.0 I am guessing that these files will fix booting on both

Charging mode should be working now although there are still some issues to be ironed out. Note(!) that ADB is running in while in charger mode. I haven't figured out why yet.
It only requires an update to the boot partition. Flash and reboot.
bootimg-p4-lp-20141125.zip
bootimg-p4wifi-lp-20141125.zip
The problem is that Samsung did not follow the Android method of booting into charger mode. With Android 5.0 this method of booting is not working. So I ported it to work with the Android method. Which means it is booting slightly differently than the old charger mode.
Someone others mentioned issues with overclocking. I have not had a chance to look into this yet.

Omni 5.0 p4wifi Nov 23
Re scumm vm... Could it be dalvik vs ART? I have done very little research.. Just know that xposed -framework- (and most modules?) require dalvik.. Put another way, not (yet?) compatible with ART
5.0 has no option for dalvik, whereas 4.4.4 can do both
One possible test: reflash 4.4.4, switch to ART, then see if scumm works?
Or if I am off base, hopefully someone else will chime in...
I never tried the android 4.4.4 under art, so maybe it would of crashed scummvm too , I don't no if its compatable with art maybe thats why, also I did want to note , that unlike the AOSP android 5.0 rom, in this one, google now launcher seems to crash , but I didn't notice crashing in the other android 5.0 , is it because it has had more time to fix the bugs in the os system, since Omni 5.0 p4wifi is a newer rom? I am correct or is their something that needs to be fixed in google now launcher or the build of the rom?
Hello,
i need ur help and advice.
since two days i dont have Access to "google play services", since i did an Update for the custom rom i had. (Victara, NIGHTLY CynogenMod or something)
So now my question is what posibilitys i have.
Can i get the Original Rom again? is it posible to have it Rooted while on Original Rom?
I have Bootloader unlocked via the Motorola page.
If i have to go with another Custom Rom, which one should i choose?
Kind regards

Here are the full factory firmwares if you need to go back to stock:
https://mega.nz/#F!ow8igZRL!Z7vmN8GOpez2bVMYDvEKkg
Which Gapps did you use? You might have the wrong versions for your ROM.
Delta Gapps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368
Open Gapps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071
You should probably clean flash your ROM, and the latest Gapps (make sure you flash MarshMallow Gapps on a MarshMallow ROM).

I did use the Standard gapps. the one that said "take this if u are not sure which version u need"
i Installed a new ROM. but it drains a lot of my Batterie... dont know why.
Also i cant really root it. Everytime i try to Update SuperSU# it fails.
Can u tell me a good ROM i could use? or can i go to original somehow while having my Phone rooted?

If you go back to stock factory firmware, you will lose root, but I'm sure there are ways to root it, but I've never done it on stock, so I don't know what works.
But, CM based ROMs should already have root built-in, under Developer Options, Root Access for Apps and ADB.
I prefer CyanogenMod because it is always actively being developed and updated, and is well supported.
Right now CyanPop looks like a good one, although I've never tried it (should already have root)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-cyanpop-v4-5-t3277786
Actually that is the version that i have. I installed that and Gappa "ARM" 6.0. Dont know what i choose in the last section anymore.
Since i installed it i have the problem that the Batterie gets empty pretty fast.. and also i get Errors like "Couldnt load E-mail services" or something like that.
Also i cant update SuperSU#, update always fails
I want to clean install it again, not sure tho what gapps i should use.

I'm not sure what you would like to do.
There's a new version of TWRP (3.0.0) for Moto X 2014 Victara, you should flash that using fastboot in bootloader mode.
https://dl.twrp.me/victara/
If you want to start over clean, to flash a ROM and Gapps:
THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING!
Boot into Recovery, and tap Wipe, then Advanced, then select:
Dalvik/ART cache
System
Data
Cache
Then swipe to wipe them.
Copy over the ROM and Gapps zip files from your computer to your internal storage, if you haven't already.
Tap Install and flash the ROM, then tap clear cache/dalvik
Tap Install again and flash Gapps, then clear cache/dalvik
Reboot system and don't install supersu

i already wiped everything last time, thats why i want to do it again to be clean.
what u said here:
"There's a new version of TWRP (3.0.0) for Moto X 2014 Victara, you should flash that using fastboot in bootloader mode."
is not nessesary if i want the clean install, right?
But i still dont know which Gapps i should get. I get Errors in my Current ROM, and i think its because i choose the wrong Gapps.
Also, the TWRP 3.0.0 u recommended, is it a stable Rom?

TWRP is a custom recovery not a ROM, it allows you to flash ROMs and Gapps.
Right now, the only Gapps that are being constantly updated are Open Gapps and Delta Gapps, they both support MarshMallow, and don't have any serious issues. I use Delta Gapps with CM because they allow you to flash only the apps you want, or replace some of the CM stock apps, if you prefer the Google versions.
Here are the different Open Gapps packages, and the apps they contain:
https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Package-Comparison
If your ROM is MarshMallow then use the Delta Gapps under MarshMallow.
DO NOT MIX GAPPS, use either Delta Gapps, OR Open Gapps, but not both.

That looks like stock factory firmware, you don't need Gapps for it. You only flash Gapps with custom ROMs, because they don't include the Google Play Store and Services (Google doesn't allow it). Which model and region is your phone?

Serialnumber is TA99300WN5.
Dont know what region the phone is from, im from GER.
U said its a stock recovery, does that mean root is not possible?
Do a clean install of your ROM (cyanpop--which tells you clearly not to install SuperSU) with full wipes as per the ROM instructions. Add 'Open Gapps arm 6.0 full'. Follow the instructions.
Or
Read the various guides in Tony Stark's sticky thread for installing the stock ROM (if you're in Germany then it'll be for an xt1092*) and rooting a stock ROM, make sure you understand them, and then do as they say.
Gus has given you several very straightforward and helpful answers and you need to do some real brainwork to make sure you understand what you're doing. I'm sure you'll manage it and learn from it, as we all have.
* you have to check the model of your phone.

Okay, i did 3 things now..
First i installed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/install-image-marshmallow-6-0-xt-1097-t3266858
i just followed that tutorial. But when i started my phone, i couldnt open the most apps, they just closed with the Erro message e.g "Whatsapp closed".
Then i tried to install the stock ROM. i was on Tony Starks sticky, and just followed the tutorial. But after flashing the stock ROM into my device, i couldnt reboot it. It just booted into fastboot.
So i tried the Method one again and installed the ROM again. now i can open APP's, but cant get a mobile connection... so no calls and no SMS
I dont know whats wrong, always diffrent errors with diffrent trys...
You are having problems because you seem to be flashing the stock image for an xt1097 onto what I guess is an xt1092.
I was clear about checking phone models and being sure you understood the different instructions and guides.
Start again and make sure you have the right things. I assume you made no nandroid backups to return to.

With the new ROM i can see that i have XT1092. The old one just showed me "Moto x 2014".
This is the one i have atm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-t3243768
There was no saying that it is for specific models, so my guess was that it works for all.
I tried to get the Stock Image via this tutorial : http://techbeasts.com/2014/11/11/how-to-restore-moto-x-2014-to-stock-firmware/#
Since i tried that i cant get a mobile connection with various ROM's, just WLAN workds atm. Also on that tutorial i searched if it was restricted to a Model that i dont have, but there seem to be none...
its not that i wasnt looking if it works for my model..
aI dont have a nandroid back up too
Well okay, i downloaded the Android 4.4.4 from Motorolas original site for my Phone. unrootet and than flashed it on my Phone.
Now everything is working fine. I dont like this old version tho. How do i get OTA updates? shouldnt he tell me that updates are available?
Well done! You'll probably not get updates with an unlocked bootloader, but this German site might help: http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/factory-images-ota-4-4-5-0-5-1-6-0-retdeall-xt1092.703838/

Unlocking the bootloader does not effect getting updates.

Hi all after trying hundreds of different roms on my old nexus. I think i have found the best way to boost the speed. I'm using xenonhd 5.1.1 with parrot mod and M-kernels. ??
Trying it out right now and it seems snappy. But I am using f2fs version of Xenonhd without the M kernel.
Give the xenonhd please...
Links please

"Lightning fast" and "Nexus 7 2012" are not normally used in the same sentence.
Maybe I'll have to give this a try. I've kept mine on stock KitKat, and it's dog slow.
Are you using SuperSU as recommended by ParrotMod, or does it work with Magisk? Thanks.
Edit: To answer my own question, it seems to work fine with Magisk.
so, you have to downgrade the bootloader to use this?
beside that, in the xenonhd thread someone said .. after u install some apps you'll get the same slow down like on every other rom

I just got myself a new Nexus 7 and all i've done is run the updates up to 5.1 as 5.1.1 fails to install.
It is pretty slow and crashes a lot, I don't remember it being this laggy and slow when I first got one in 2012. Is it just a function of the new OS's or the new apps? What is the best build to be in for speed? I don't mind losing some of the newer features of the OS. Would just prefer something I can use without being frustrated...
Thanks
Sorry to ask this, but can the nexus 7 2012 roms be used on a nexus 7 3g 2012? are they the same? I am new to this model, I am about to buy one (just as ereader), but would like to have the best rom on it.

The latest version update-XenonHD-09-13-15 is not available anymore. If anyone that has the files could share.
I was also pointed to try this rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-android-7-aosp-grouper-t3467514
And this one, but again no working links https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784244
I will buy today a Nexus 7 3G 2012 very cheap, so I will try some roms on it.

To use a "Grouper" ROM on the "Tilapia / 3g" device, you just need to flash the Grouper ver of TWRP recovery. Granted, you will not have use of the 3g radio, but otherwise it will function normally.

Thanks. The device comes with 4.2.2 should I flash first 5.1.1 (in order to update radios and stuff) and then root=>recovery=>rom? Or should I just root it in 4.2.2?
If anyone have the older files that I pointed I would appreciate, I will test them and leave my feedback.
I would download the last "official" update from Google for your device (Tilapia I'm assuming), and manually flash the radio and bootloader with fastboot. (Granted, you could install the entire update, but why bother if you're going to put on a custom ROM anyways) Then, unlock the bootloader (if not already done) install TWRP recovery and flash away.
Anyone tested this ROM yet (with a bunch of apps installed to see if slows down or not) ?

I have a 2012 Nexus 7 running Resurrection Remix M (Android 6.0.1), and I can say that RootBooster *does* help. My N7 was *very* laggy and slow to respond when tapping on anything. I chose "Basic Mode -- Speed", re-booted and it's a LOT faster now. Time will tell if it lasts.
I've had MultiROM and TWRP on this tablet for quite awhile, so I also have RR-N installed as a secondary ROM. I'm going to try RootBooster on that ROM also.
I have a Nexus 7 2012 wifi model and need it strictly for Chromecast audio to control Pandora and Spotify.
What's the best rom for that?
Don't care for anything else really...
I installed the setup mentioned by the OP on my Nexus 7 2012, and it is working well so far. Thank you OP.
Initially I tried to use the kernel that is included with the XenonHD ROM, but it seemed to have issues with lag, not waking from sleep, etc. Then I switched to M Kernel and it was much better, so switching the kernel is necessary in my opinion.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
My Procedure:
I was starting with stock rooted Android 4.4.4. I had previously used the WugFresh toolkit to root and install twrp. If you have something older or custom, you may need to flash a recent stock rom first to update your bootloader.
1) Update to current version of twrp. I used the twrp app from the play store.
2) Boot into twrp. Factory reset.
3) Boot into Android.
4) Download XenonHD, M Kernel, ParrotMod, and GApps files to PC, transfer to tablet via USB. (or download on tablet)
5) Boot into twrp. Wipe everything except internal storage.
6) Install XenonHD, M Kernel, ParrotMod, GApps
7) Boot into Android. Be patient, first boot takes a while
I also replaced SuperSU with Magisk, because I don't consider recent non-Chainfire versions of SuperSU to be trustworthy. To do this:
1) Download Magisk and Magisk Manager to PC, transfer to tablet via USB. (or download on tablet)
2) Open SuperSU settings, select option to uninstall and prepare for alternate su manager.
3) Reboot to TWRP. Flash Magisk. Wipe cache/davlik (not sure this is necessary). Reboot to Android. IMPORTANT: If twrp says device does not appear to be rooted and prompts you to install SuperSU, you must decline.
4) In Android, install Magisk manager.
Hope this helps someone else.

What was it in your case?
Hello everybody,
I was just wondering if there's any daily driver Treble roms out there that you would suggest, Thanks ?
I'm using phhtreble AOSP 9.0 v111 (with gapps) on top of Xiaomi.eu 9.1.24 and it's working flawlessly. Only thing I can't test is the screen cast thing, since I don't have an enabled tv and VoLTE since my carrier doesn't use it. Also GCam crashes when trying to use slow mo. One last thing, I'd recommend using Magisk Canary 18.2 since that works. Cheers.
liquid or descendant, im using liquid tho

How did you flash MIUI 9.1.24. What I mean did you remove Firmware Update folder from the ZIP or leave it be? I am currently on MIUI 8.7.5 and affraid to get Anti Rollback protection. So I remove this Firmware Update just in case, but after flashing such ZIP my MI8SE doesn't want to boot. It stucks on MI Unlocked logo, it is not even a bootloop.

I think Xiaomi.eu roms shouldn't trigger anti rollback anyway. If you want to be safe flash a China Pie rom, then Xiaomi.eu 9.1.24 then whatever. I think I did china 9.1.3, eu 9.1.24 and PE 190111, but I'm not sure
@guglicap
Thanks for all the tips. Before I had MIUI EU 8.7.5 as a base. I could run most treble GSI, but with some problems and issues (like phone reboot after trying to make call or a few reboots before the system finally started). With MIUI EU 9.1.24 as a base they seems to run much better. I will try to test more features soon.
A few remarks from myself for anyone who wants to try treble GSI:
1. Flash full MIUI EU zip, do not remove Firmware Update folder as I tried before. Firmware Update contains some necessary files to be flash to run latest builds. Regarding the Anti Rollback protection... I had a FALSE response for fastboot getvar anti on MIUI EU 8.7.5, and after MIUI EU 9.1.24 I have anti:1... so it is still safe.
2. Use MIUI 9.1.24 (xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8SE_9.1.24_v10-9) as a base, not the newer builds, as they did not work for me. Also use TWRP 1227 for this build.
3. You can also use MIUI stable 10.2.2 (xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8SE_V10.2.2.0.PEBCNXM_v10-9), but this build works with TWRP 1217.
4. The precedure to run GSI is as below:
a) preferably clean: System, Data, Cache, Dalvik-Cache
b) flash MIUI EU as above, make sure it boots
c) flash treble GSI as System Image (there is many available, I prefer Resurrection Remix, LiquidRemix, HavocOS, AEX, AOISP... I find them the most customizable)
d) clean Cache, Dalvik-Cache, Data (or format Data as an option)
e) disable dm-verity in TWRP => Advanced => RM-dm-verity (very important, as most of the GSI will not run without this step)
What I still need to figure out is:
- encryption (that is a must have for me, so far with no luck on MIUI nor on treble GSI ROMs using the system build in option)
- camera (either working MIUI Camera or GCam, as the AOSP cameras are really bad)

About camera, this works well for me https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2b_plus3.apk
you need to flash a Magisk module for the fix which is in another thread. Even slow mo works.
Also, I never had a problem with dm-verity, could you elaborate on that? I'm curious now.

phhtreble AOSP 9.0 v111 ROM worked out-of-the-box, with dm-verity untouched. But for many other ROMs I got bootloop. You need to disable dm-verity to make those ROMs to boot properly.
phhtreble v111 with magisk on top of miui pro seems to work without any problem.
The only bug i experience is that google camera crashes when entering slow-mo mode. Also, notification light works only for charging battery.
Geekbench 4 shows the same results as on miui, battery life seems pretty solid.
Currently using it as daily driver, no problems so far.

Hi, apparently it doesn't.
So, after i've spent few days with phhtreble v111, i've noticed the following bugs:
-Bluetooth call doesn't work (the phone rings, music stops playing, but the call runs through the phone speaker)
-Double tap to wake doesn't work
-LED lights up only when charging (Lightflow and other apps designed to take control over it are unable to do it)
-Front facing flash is dead
-Slow motion crashes camera app.
In rest, everything else seem to work fine, even the notch cutout.
Battery and performance are rock solid, substratum is fully compatible.
For camera, i use BSG's Google Camera, which excepting front flash and slow-motion, works like a charm.
Since those bugs are not critical or annoying, at least for me, i currently recommend it as a daily driver.
I have been using my Moto x4 since 2017 running stock ROM. Now, Moto has stopped android updates to x4. So, I decided to try android 10 based pixel experience ROM from XDA. But, I have some doubts.
Previously, I have used a Xiaomi device and I had experience with installing custom rom. But, for moto I am confused. Please correct me if I doing something wrong.
Steps to follow:
1.Unlock bootloader.
2. Install twrp.
3. Install copyparitions zip file. ( Id this file suitable to my device? Because, android one variant has 3gb, 32 gb storage, am using 4gb, 64gb variant. Does it causes any trouble?
4. Install firmware. ( My device running on android 9, with latest security patch of sep 2019..ppw.29.69.40.4. so, do I need to install firmware.
5. Backup EFS etc.
6. Install pixel experience zip.(pixel plus)
7. Reboot to bootloader.
8. Install twrp
9. Install gapps. ( I wished to install gapps from open gapps, which contains nearly stock Google apps. Can I use aroma variant).
10. Reboot to system.
After installation: (without rooting)
a. Can I use google pay, and banking apps. Is it safe.?
b. Which camera is got installed? Gcam 7.0+ or Moto camera.
How was the bugs, battery performance?
Thanks in advance.
