Are you happy with Samsung Galaxy S i9000 ? (YES/NO) and Why?

I think i need your result about SGS
please vote and post to hold topic up.

I will be able to answer this question once Samsung/Broadcom release their "updated" GPS driver.

Yes but no! )
I love my galaxy s but don't feel I can answer yes just yet... when samsung hold to thier promise and deliver software for a fast phone with stable GPS then I will give it a resounding yes... until then, I love it... but not enough to commit myself! )

I am very happy with my device!

if you choose NO, please tell us WHY ?

Yes and after flashing to JM1 rev.3 - extremely so! Can't wait for Froyo!

Of all the smartphones I have owned so far, I love this the most. So definitely YES!

YEY
It is a great phone. Except the GPS everything just works. So when GPS is fixed, I think I will stay with this phone a long time being happy. That means > 1/2y

Shouldn't this be in the General section?

I am not quite happy with this phone. I switched from Samsung Omnia HD, the most powerfull symbian device to date, to check out the wonders of Android. Except for the multitouch, unfortunately it doesnt have anything better than Omnia HD. I am sorry to state this, because I really thought it would make a difference. But having to download an application for every single little function that should be alreayd there, it's really frustrating. It's just my point of view. Maybe some other ex HD owners think otherwise. There is not at least a led for the camera (otherwise good pictures during the day, I admit); there is no option (unless u use an app) NOT to show the whole world around you your SMSs; there is no option to choose what connection to use (unless to start and stop all kinds of data applications); you cannot choose any song you please for any alert in the phone, unless you move the respective sound in some strange folder in the phone; there is no way to choose where to install an application; gprs connection only works after I restart the phone and after a couple of hours it just doesnt transfer anything anymore; you cannot send via bluetooth unless you install an application; you cannot choose if you want or not the messages to be shown as conversations and many many more.
Dont get me wrong , the phone is very good and has many good things, but unfortunately, as I was saying, it is very very dissappointing not to have elementary comfort functions already in the menu, but to have to download little stupid apps for everything.
Conclusion: I will buy Nokia N8 as soon as it reaches my country.
PS: I dont what the famos GPS problem is, but mine with NDRIVE works great and in real time. Strange, I know.

so, you choose 'NO' becuse of Android OS.

Yes I am happy with it, it is a great multimedia device with the ability to watch films etc. on a big super amoled screen.
But I am annoyed that you have to do loads of tweaks to get everything working and lag free.
Quite alot of people would never think of flashing firmware and performing lag fixes. They would probably have been better off with the Desire which works out of the box.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Haven't voted yet. If they get GPS working I'll keep it else it's being returned as "not fit for purpose."

Overall, I am very happy with my SGS, It came with JF1 but is now running JM1, which reduced the lag a little, but thanks to RyanZa's Lag fix, the phone is too fast
Not had any need to try out the GPS and am not too fussed as its a bit of a gimick to me.
The wife has an SGS too, still on stock JF1, and she loves it, won't let me speed it up though as she is very happy with its Stock performance, having come from a Nokia N97 that crashed on a regular basis and ran like a two legged dog with no sense of direction...

Yes, unfortunately Android OS is not quite ready to be used , at least for someone coming from Symbian OS. It reminds me of older Win Mobile, few good years ago.

And would you mind explaining in just a few words what this LAG is, that everyone is talking about? I find the speed of my device just fine.

I am currently, but I am assuming GPS will become somewhat functional in September. I bought it to improve my productivity in many ways, and it does.
But, if the GPS isn't fixed, even though I rarely use it, I'd have to question if it is the best choice for me...

I am happy with the device but not the samsung service or their ability to fix problems quickly.
Over 2 months now and the gps problem and the lag problem have not been fixed. And then I look at Motorola and HTC and how quickly they come out with fixes and updates.
Plus looking at the development going on with their devices like cyanogen mod etc I am not sure if my next upgrade will be a samsung device. I might have gotten seduced by the Samoled screen but my next phone will be the one google chooses next as its development device as all these other phone might have new bells and whistles but they should add to basc android not subtract from it as many do currently.

This is truely the first phone that works great if not perfectly right out of the box!

OnePlus 7 Pro 6/128GB [Three.co.uk] Review

Hi Folks,
Here is the Three.co.uk OnePlus 7 Pro 6/128GB.

}
Firstly, let's get the most important bit out of the way, since we are on the XDA forums, as you can see from the photos below, the OnePlus 7 Pro 6/128GB on Three.co.uk can be unlocked right out of the box, thankfully something OnePlus probably asked of them, just as they did with O2 with previous generations.
The method is the same as it's always been
As with all processes like this BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE YOU START
Enable developer settings by tapping build number (in Settings>About phone) 7 times, enter pin
Go to Settings>System>Developer Options>OEM unlocking and enable, acknowledge the warning
Install the included drivers on your computer by attaching USB cable and setting USB mode to "File Transfer, the drive with the OnePlus drivers should appear, if not I remembered to upload them to my AFH account here, just unpack the zip and install.
Open a command window with administrator rights and run adb devices, acknowledge the prompt on your phone, run adb reboot bootloader to reboot into the bootloader or just enabled advanced reboot in your developer options and reboot to bootloader.
In your command window type fastboot oem unlock and the prompt in the image above will be shown, use the volume keys/power button to select to unlock the bootloader (REMEMBER YOUR PHONE WILL BE WIPED WITH FACTORY RESET, YOU WILL LOSE ANY FILES ON IT SO BACKUP BEFORE YOU START. You will also ALWAYS get a warning stating the device may not be safe when you start it up, this was forced by Google on manufacturers.
Once the phone reboots you will need to perform your setup again
Delivery was by DPD, they provide an hour delivery slot via both e-mail and sms, bizarrely though, the Three.co.uk rep confirmed, when I called them as I hadn't yet had the delivery confirmation, that the text message would be sent to my new number, which was using the sim, which was in the box being delivered :silly:
The box wasn't too healthy when it arrived but this is what you'll get from Three.co.uk in your package:
When you open up your sim card it will come in a triple snappable design as below, as you can see you want the nano option :
The box contents are the same as the other models, including the case included in the box, here it is on with the grey back, it almost makes it look more silvery in person :
I really need OnePlus to provide a longer charging cable, I'm surprised more people don't complain about this but the cable they provide is comically (although it's not funny) short, it barely makes it from my socket to my desk and the sockets are underneath/behind the desk, the length really is ridiculous.
OxygenOS 9.5.4 was prompted right after I completed setup so my rooting/unlocking/etc was done on this version.
I've installed the rooted and booted image from this excellent thread and as you can see, after following the instructions from the thread, I now have an unlocked bootloader, latest Magisk and BusyBox Pro installed only hours after receiving the device. This provider and option may make a tasty little dev device with that combo:
From my initial tests (including one especially for dladz ) the GPS performance is excellent (That test was indoors on my first floor), Antutu is...a good score? I dunno, I don't really benchmark bruh but the Antutu Benchmark was after I had unlocked the bootloader and rooted with the Magisk guide from the thread mentioned above. No other custom kernel or modification was used apart from that listed above.
Someone else with a different model could possibly do the Antutu benchmark for comparison, with this score, specifically the memory score, I would imagine it will be higher with more capacity.
As someone had asked elsewhere, Voice over Wifi was enabled automatically out of the box and is still enabled for me :
The popup camera isn't as intrusive as you would think and is smaller than you might think, bare in mind all the YouTube reviews had the phone in your face, when you're holding it the popup camera seems a lot smaller, face unlock is still fast but obviously not as fast as previous OnePlus phones without this mechanism.
What I don't like?
The USB cable as I mentioned above.
You cannot register the same finger more than once, this was possible on the previous FP readers and helped with detection, I'm not sure why this was done.
OnePlus has removed the option to long press the back button for recents (Personal preference maybe but why?)
The new swiping gestures you can use instead of nav bar don't work at all well with the included case, goodbye fingertips
The vibration motor does feel stronger but the typing feedback feels like someone tapping the back of the phone, something that can be tweaked in the settings probably.
The curve of the screen makes tapping on some options, especially in the settings toggles a bit tricky.
Granted most of those are teething issues with this new device.
If you want me to try something else or confirm other information, let me know.

Lovely. Good review.. Thanks mate

Great review ?
I'm using the gestures as well and with the case which was in the box and for me the gestures work really well! I needed some time to get used to though, but I have no complains here.

Just another update, someone else had asked about pre-installed apps from Three and sadly there are a couple:
Netflix (Shows an uninstall option but doesn't uninstall, haven't tried with root but that should work I would guess)
"Three", presumably an app to administer your account (That can be installed from the Play Store so shouldn't really have been forced) It has an uninstall option.
"Three Likes", also shown on the Play Store but can be uninstalled easily.
Wuntu, God knows what that is, funky teen community app?
That's about it, nothing too intrusive or bloaty.

Hey buddy,
Thanks for this!
I bought the 8gb model from John Lewis. It prompted me to install Three Likes but quickly uninstalled. For your reference, Wuntu is their discount apps so every now and again you can get a free Costa, personal Domino's pizza, free credit with Ratukin and stuff like that so it's good to have actually.
On the VoWiFi, it works on my phone too (out of the box without needing to use the workaround), but after my phone has been asleep for a while or I leave WiFi and come back, VoWiFi drops out and won't return until I reboot my phone. Any chance you can keep a particular eye out for this to see if it happens to you?
VoLTE works perfectly out of the box which is abig upgrade for Three users from previous OnePlus phones so happy about that.

I'm jealous! EE didn't lock 6t last year but said 7 Pro 5G will be locked! So I need to hope someone clever figures out how to unlock for free!

I want to ask a few question about this 6gb ram, do you had any issue in memory usage so far? (maybe feel lag or something if you opened too many app)
Because my friend had 8 gb ver, and daily usage of his memory ram is 5.8gb In normal usage, not while rendering or gaming. So I'm curious about 6gb ver, did it consume that much too??

[Win/Mac/Linux] One-Click Custom Rom installer

Hey guys, I'm looking for some testers for my Free-Droid application. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux and is perfectly compatible with the Galaxy S5.
This software should be most useful to people new to custom rom installation. It takes from you the hassle of looking for TWRP and a Rom, it downloads everything for you (including magisk, microG and F-Droid) and does all the flashing on autopilot. For those users starting from scratch, it also helps setting up the drivers on windows machines.

You can download the application from the original/general thread here.
Feel free to leave some feedback or suggestions for improvement.

@imska have already posted on your main thread. .....
As far as the "Odin" look. Well, Odin, is much easier to read. Seems that some things, are Under others. As if the display is 1 size, with more info to actually have space for. (e.g. In Expert- towards the bottom , " -install google sync" is actually, Under the words "Only change these setting if you really know what you are doing" ! So yes, need to clean up this Free-Droid a bit.
What is confusing a bit, is where to work and where to look. Terminal has all the major things running like Passwords, IS the phone connected, etc.
one more Issue... Info- Sprint Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P Sprint KTLEDV ); Currently, Running LineageOS 16.0 (build date 22Jul19) w/Magsik!
Terminal says I am running a custom Rom. The Free-Droid Windows says that it does not know how to deal with my phone....
So Do I take that it only works with "Stock" images?
Oh, On Github, I did not see the galaxy S5 code name KTLEDV in your approved list??? could that be the issue here? Just not added into the system?
Hopefully you can get this cleaned up. Willing to try test it out again.
Just give me a shout, when you have a newer build out....
Tanx

Thanks for testing!
It does not need a new build to fix device detection... I did not know of a SM-G900P variant of the S5, but I just added it to the codename lookup table. Now it should recognize your device as the kltedv and know how to deal with it. The tool finds LineageOS, RR and AEX for the kltedv
Unfortunately, there is no official release of TWRP for kltedv and therefore Free-Droid will not be able to install stuff if a user is still running stock rom. Which TWRP do you use and where can I find it?
About the terminal output:
The stuff that gets printed there is just logging. You can just ignore it. A terminal window does not even open on windows or mac. Entering sudo password in terminal is only relevant for linux users and could only be avoided by setting up udev rules...
The "running custom rom" detection is there for the tool to decide whether to look for a TWRP image or not. So in your case, the tool should work now. For other kltedv users running stock, I will need to add a TWRP image to my archive.
Window layout / text positioning:
I have no idea why things do not display like in my screenshots... Can I send you a .jar to test if the layout is better?

Hey there! Please, was not "*****ing nor Complaining" about your app. Had read this thread, and the Link to another. Only had 1 person say it worked. I am always on the lookout for just about anything, that makes me life a bit easier!
Was on me laptop, Toshiba P55 (15" 1080 screen, no touch, 4th gen i5, 16GB Ram, and 1TB SSD running upto date Ubuntu 18.04.02) and was not running any other programs ( I had seen that I would have to use Terminal for password. That's OK with me, like a bit of control. Had some error there, popped up twice, both times trying to run it. Before asking about password. Everything seemed OK from there.
But the layout was not as Pictured in Pic 3, in the OP.
Oh, me phone. Actually I am on Virgin Mobile, which is that same the Galaxy S5 from Sprint on same network. TRWP, currently on build 3.2.2, there is a newer build out, but this still works well, believe it came out back March or April of this year.
I just thought, that it needed a bit better layout, so others, do really get into a mess by missing a line or 2. That would stink!
IF you would like me to test something, I am "OK" with that. Just send through PM message.
I can see, how this really can be nice, am not sure where it looks for ROMs and such.

No hurt feelings. Can you please replace the Free-Droid.jar file in the "bin" folder of the application with this one and report back if the layout in the expert pane is still messy? And you could help me investigate the issues on startup if you click "Report bug" in the help pane of the application and send me the created zip with the log files.
Thanks

@imska
You asked about an email. Did you want that sent through the link on your other thread (something like bug at Free-Droid) Or a PM here through XDA?
Asking, ahead of time, have yet tested. Will be very soon, but, because I am not sure where to send you an email.
Tanx
Edit- Forgot to throw Git-Lab into the mix, as places to report any sort of Bug. (yep, I always try and look up what ever Srcipt, On Github, Git-Lab, and/or LineageOS Gerrit!)
Tanx Again.

Hi,
I'm looking to install the kitkat 4.4 os onto my samsung galaxy s5 and was very excited to see your new app written for people like me with not much experience in doing this sort of thing.
I thought it would be a good idea as there is a lot of apps on my phone that i don't use and I can't uninstall them and I'm running out of room.
Unfortunately this program couldn't detect my phone after plugging it in to my computer via usb and following the instructions to turn on debugging via usb.
Here are my phone and machine specs:
samsung galaxy s5
SM-G900I
Android Version 6.0.1
Baseband version G900IDVU1CQD1
I'm using windows 7 to install
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Alright. I am a noob that has been reading the forums for a long minute. I have no idea what I am doing as far as flashing, rooting and customization goes... and I need to learn. So instead of using my S8+ I have decided to use my old beloved S5 as my test subject to try and understand what is what ect, ect, ect.
Is this a good place to start? I have a MacBook Pro I can use and/or a Lenovo with Windows 10 that I can use as well. I guess I am hoping that maybe I can get a Thumbs up from someone that this may be a good place to start.
I can do my best to report any thing back if it might help...
Thanks.

It depends on what you aim for... If you just would like to install lineageos on your S5 then you're welcome to use free-droid for that. If you would like to really understand what everything means and how things work, I think free-droid might not be the right starting point, because it is meant to hide all the (more or less) complicated stuff from the user and make the installation as easy and convenient as possible.
If you choose to use it and something does not work as expected, you're welcome to report back here.

If you are on windows then this is very likely a problem with drivers. Have you tried the "still not detecting" link below the instructions?

For those of you who also own a Sony device: Free-Droid is now compatible with Sony devices!
0.7.5 update should also fix an issue for some variants of the Galaxy S5 like the kltedv (SM-G900P)

With the abomination that OOS12 is, I am now eager to switch to a custom ROM more than I was before. I will be definitely giving this ROM a try. Perfect timing! Will flash this week.

I can't se the latest build on website

Does Google Now Playing work?

So I haven't installed a custom rom in ages, I used the pixel experience instructions and everything seemed to go well, I tried to relock the device, but it wouldn't boot after it just keep taking back to the bootloader after telling me I had installed a rom (I don't recall exactly what it said), so I unlocked it again and it booted fine, I just assumed it was because I'm using a tmobile 8T+. the only issue I have at the moment is that it's forcing me to setup face unlock, I have absolutely no desire to do that, is there a way around this? it looks like I'll have to set it up to get passed the initial setup and I'm very unpleased about that, but it is what it is.
I'm going to go through with it, but I'm curious if there is a way to, not have to do it in the first place.
If anyone knows, I'd appreciate any tips or advice. thanks!
Edit: Ok, I've tried several ways to setup my phone and all of the force the use of facial unlock and it won't recognize my face so I'm going to try something else. It also told me that my phone was a pixel 6 pro, so that wasn't what I was expecting, I was under the impression from everything i've read that this rom was more of a AOSP made pixel and now I'm thinking it's a pixel rom made AOSPish.
I appriciate the effort, unfortunately it's not for me.

So I haven't installed a custom rom in ages, I used the pixel experience instructions and everything seemed to go well, I tried to relock the device, but it wouldn't boot after it just keep taking back to the bootloader after telling me I had installed a rom (I don't recall exactly what it said), so I unlocked it again and it booted fine, I just assumed it was because I'm using a tmobile 8T+. the only issue I have at the moment is that it's forcing me to setup face unlock, I have absolutely no desire to do that, is there a way around this? it looks like I'll have to set it up to get passed the initial setup and I'm very unpleased about that, but it is what it is.
I'm going to go through with it, but I'm curious if there is a way to, not have to do it in the first place.
If anyone knows, I'd appreciate any tips or advice. thanks!
Edit: Ok, I've tried several ways to setup my phone and all of the force the use of facial unlock and it won't recognize my face so I'm going to try something else. It also told me that my phone was a pixel 6 pro, so that wasn't what I was expecting, I was under the impression from everything i've read that this rom was more of a AOSP made pixel and now I'm thinking it's a pixel rom made AOSPish.
I appriciate the effort, unfortunately it's not for me.

It's a standard setup procedure even on stock Pixel phones.. You could just ignore any security input during setup, and then just add fingerprint in the settings after the system boot....

Has anyone already determined whether this OS based on A12.1 also has an increased power consumption when using the device?
I first noticed this with the pixel blaster and then with project zepyurus. The device is always warm and the battery is drained properly. However, it only loses 3-5% during overnight standby.

I flashed this rom today!
So far feels very good. I love it.
Question: If there is an new update, can i update inside the rom or must i reflash the new update?

there wasn't any option to bypass it, it only showed "try again" and "cancel". my last pixel was a 2xl and it didn't force me to add any security. this one forced me to add a pin and then went directly into the face id. I couldn't find any way get arround it, I tried copy from old phone, and setup as a new device and it was the same every time.

hmm that's odd because i flashed feb build (that had faceunlock) and when it asked me for pin first, i just ignored it and got direct to system.

Is this build online? I think it got removed smh

Seems not online, when I click on the link it says error no file found, anyway if it's ready for download the dev will post the link, so we have to wait patiently

Yeah, the link went down, not sure why. I've asked @RohanHasabe8 on Telegram about an issue which I'm experiencing when trying to open network tab (WiFi/LTE) in the settings app (the app is crashing), but I haven't received a response.
Another issue that I've experienced on a new 12.1 build is that battery consumption is much higher than on a build from February.
To be fair with 12 build I had only one issue - with automatic brightness, it wasn't working perfectly - especially when I was using dark mode mainly and the app which had a white theme was opened at night and a screen went full brightness.

I'll try again to be sure. I started setup and I set the wifi, then agreed to the location etc, and the it aaked to set up backup (not sure if it did that when I set it up as a new device) then it went straight to set a PIN and there wasn't anything except the key pad, no option to skip, if I hit ->| button with out putting in a PIN it just sat there. No 2ay past it.

As I said there wasn't a skip option. I looked for it. But I'll try again.

It shouldn't no

Will you add the fingerprint variations?

I can't use fingerprint to unlock my phone after install los, even no options in system settings. ls it normal situation?Did los doesn't support fingerprint?

We are working on it, some devices use goodix fp, it is not supported right now

Thanks for this, this ROM fixes so many problems that the stock ROM from Motorola has. It's so nice now being able to call fine, use WiFI calling, being able to turn wifi on and off without it crashing and rebooting etc etc! All issues on the stock ROM for myself and others!
And it's amazing to have double tap to wake that works and a screen brightness that lowers like it should .
Only issues noticed are the fingerprint sensor issue as above, which I know you're looking into Elctimon (big thanks!) and one I seem to be getting with third party launchers sometimes which is when returning to the home screen and tapping an app icon, it interacts with the previous app instead. It's fine if you just wait longer...
I've logged a bug report for both following the instructions in the original post.
The only feature I miss from stock is the ability to set refresh rate for games to 120 or 140hz sometimes, otherwise I like my phone to be at 60hz for power savings. I turn off all animations anyway. The dynamic refresh rates sadly don't work below 70% brightness (same as stock ROM behaviour)
I tried to flash the Moto games apk which did this but unfortunately I get a missing library error : "Package com.motorola.gamemode requires unavailable shared library moto-core_services; failing!".
Perhaps a quick toggle setting could be added for refresh rates?
P.S Always on Google listening hotword detection doesn't work if you follow the instructions and install the mindthegapps package linked, it seems that it doesn't install enough packages. It needs the Google app to be installed before the OS first boots it seems? Make sure the gapps you are flashing includes Google app if you care about this.

is dc (anti flicker) works well？ i have flashed los a few month ago but the dc stoping working after lock screen

Thank you Electimon, the black screen issue has resolved for me with the latest releases.

Do you think that merging the Goodix (GF3626 fingerprint sensor) related files from the Berlin (edge 20) LineageOS build would resolve the Goodix fingerprint not working issue?
The files: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_motorola_berlin/search?q=goodix
I made a branch of it with the files copied over but I wasn't sure about these two files, if anyone could help me with getting these created for our device that'd be awesome!

Hello Electimon. Thanks for the ROM, it's great to have something different for this underdeveloped device.
I came to Lineage to try to solve a problem with Bluetooth, but it didn't work. The problem remains exactly the same, Bluettoh only works from time to time, most of the time it doesn't even turn on. Still, I'm going to stay in this ROM, because I think it's better than the stock one.
If you have any suggestions of what I can do please enlighten me.
I don't understand how this can happen to some people and Motorola doesn't recognize it and make a fix available. I don't know what else to try, but my problem is the exact one demonstrated by this guy on Reddit:

Hi guys,
What's up with the random reboots in this ROM? I used to have that problem on the previous Lineage as well as on the latest LMODroid build.

I need the original camera to take 108mb

I'm at 71 hrs uptime now, this was not achievable on any previous ROMs for this device. I'm truly thankful for this release, it's just excellent.

Ive never had a random reboot on this ROM, well apart for one time which I'm 99% sure was to do with an OTA update.
I've run this ROM for many weeks too.
The only downside is no fingerprint reader for my Edge 20 pro phone and that's it.
It fixes a load of issues with the stock motorola ROM!

It's just pixel binned anyway like all modern phones the 108mp is kinda a waste of time I feel. Look into gcam for our phone that's worth installing.

Well, since the last update (March 28), Bluetooth is working normally. It's still too early to know if it's fixed, but it hasn't worked this well for a while.

Is that with the stock ROM?
I wondered if Motorola have also fixed the outgoing call issues that all the edge 20 and 30 phones are getting? Where you cannot make a call unless you reboot or turn off WiFi, which usually causes a reboot.
And when you turn WiFi off and on it reboots the phone...
Factory resetting does not resolve the issue but installing LineageOS does fix the issue. Sadly banks require so many workarounds now to work, and my fingerprint sensor still doesn't work but I know one of the Devs are working on it.
Sadly call quality for me is really bad on this ROM, next to unusable for me. I think it needs some kind of voice technology that's on the stock ROM but is missing from this ROM. But it's better than no calls so I'm running it for now.
Also I'm noticing very high WiFi latency spikes and packet loss jssues that was also an issue on the stock ROM. It uses the same drivers as the stock ROM so I guess that's expected. All other non Motorola devices are fine.

I take back what I wrote. After a few days working normally, Bluetooth became unstable again. For me Lineage has the same problem as the stock ROM. In my case, Wifi works perfectly both on stock and Lineage. But Bluetooth doesn't work properly on either of the 2.
Motorola drivers may not work for all Wifi and Bluetooth modules, as there may be hardware differences between devices. Anyway, it's a serious failure, due to complaints on websites, youtube, Telegram groups, etc... and the worst thing is that I haven't seen the problem acknowledged anywhere.

I do not recommend LineageOS for this device, WiFi/Bluetooth didn't get fixed and are features that is not fully workable as in stock rom. Also, Motorola has rollout the Android 13 stock rom and if you remove some bloatwares, I fully recommend it.
