I recommend you go to their Google+ page, they do not want any of their roms discussed or passed along on XDA any longer.
Below is a link in case you can not Google it, read carefully before adding questions. I would recommend the 10.5 Official as their most stable, the 11 has been released but has a few things to still work out. If you try the 11 stays with Dynamic gapps, if you go with the MM version Open is fine.

Why they dont want their work shared on XDA?

No, they do not and they clearly state this. XDA is no longer what it once was and many Dev's have drifted away from here.

Sorry, no I do not know of any details, just that they are done dealing with XDA.

While not sure if this happened to DU but I do know that for awhile mods and admins here in some areas were allowing people to take credit for work they did not do with no repercussions. A number of Devs got very angry when little jerks were taking their work and renaming Roms and using tools they had built without giving credit. This blew up into a big tiff and a number of very good devs left XDA and even some major project players like DU left and have not been back. I have no idea why this was allowed to transpire but it was ugly for about a year. I suspect there were other behind the scenes issues that I as a non dev was not aware of as well.

Dorian's RedPill ROM **V4**

Hey just thought I would post this, since I hadn't seen ANYONE post a link to this. I had to hunt and hunt for the download link, cause when I googled Redpill all I could come across was the v3 beta. But there is a NEW release, just released a few days ago. Check it out. http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1711&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.atrixforums.com%2Fforum%2Fmotorola-atrix-roms%2F3282-rom-redpill-beta-v3-7-23-a-90.html%23post60301&v=1&libid=1315101821878&out=http%3A%2F%2Fjwhite.macleod-web.net%2Fresources%2FDorian's%2520RedPill%2520Beta%25204.zip&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.atrixforums.com%2Fforum%2Fsearch.php%3Fsearchid%3D437451&title=-%20ROM%20-%20RedPill%20Beta%20-%20v3%20-%207%2F23%20-%20Page%2090&txt=-%20V4%20Download%20Here%20-&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13151018284333
Sweet. Do you happen to know if theres a changelog? Its been over a month since v3 so I'm going to assume there have been some big changes.

+1 i looked on the atrixforums and he has not updated his post at all
thanks for the post but it would be nice if you could link the page where you got this from so that we could see the change log...otherwise this isnt verymuch use to most of us since we don't know if the rom we are all currently using is "better" if you will than this version of redpill...cheers
Shows RedPill beta 3 under build number. Looks nice though....haven't tried RedPill before because it didn't seem the dev was updating or involved as much as the other devs.
Links not working for me

Broken link?
This is a renamed zip as far as the modification dates within the zips say and also according to posts above >__>
Although it says v3 in the build, it is actually v4, he's been very busy and hasn't posted a change log as of yet. He's also working on a service pack that will change a few things on the current build (v4)
Can anyone comment on how stable this ROM is in comparison to Aura, Alien or CM7??
I used v3 as a base for a customised rom and it was great. It still may be my favorite.

Very stable, I have not had any issues at all with this ROM, Dorian did a great job.
Probably the most stable of the ROM's I've tried, which is all of them practically.
FIRST OFF I'M SORRY guys lol I was tired when I posted it and forgot some details---first off this is version 4 of Dorian's Red Pill, even tho it says version 3 in the info after you install the ROM. It comes with the stock kernel and is very stable. Everything works to my knowledge, and it comes slightly themed. Here's a link to where he posted it ----it's about 3/4 of the way down the page---http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/motorola-atrix-roms/3282-rom-redpill-beta-v3-7-23-a-90.html#post60301
I've used the first 3 versions and LOVE IT. I get great battery life and a snappy response. check it out =D
Edit: nevermind, found the altered files, including -
BlurCamera.apk
BlurDialer.apk
DeskClock.apk
SystemUI.apk
Talk.apk
Blur-res.apk
framework-res.apk
....uhh....Dude this is a 4th version. Go to the link I just linked above, Dorian is the one who POSTED the 4th version up. Not someone else. And he IS the dev. Not sure why yer so mad, we aren't the first to flash this. Others have already started flashing v4, and it IS different than v3. Read the replies and on the next page you can see some more.
edit: good. glad you caught that. =D

see my edit, I re-MD5d and caught the edited files, not sure why it came back 100% the same the first time, just been seeing reposts of other dev's work lately (well, for years) and I wanted to make sure

NP , yeh I'm sure everyone else was a little confused why he didn't update his main page as well. ALSO, for all those who flash this---just an fyi you can skip the blur setup by choosing GoLauncher instead of setup when the options first come up on your first bootup. The reason I mention this is cause there is no option built into the ROM to skip the blur setup, so this lets you do that. Then just freeze Accounts after yer done doing whatever account stuff you wanna do and adding your google account. Or don't freeze it, I just did cause i'm a freezeaholic.
FIX FOR THE NO HOME/SEARCH BUTTONS:
I found it in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027994
What I did to fix my button problem, was:
Code:
1. Cleared defaults for my launcher, so upon reboot it would give me the choice to go to the motoblur setup I oh-so-hate again.
2. When the setup launched, I pressed the key combo (?123 - ALT - ABC - e - ?123 - ALT - ABC - e - b - l - u - r - o - f - f - ENTER/RETURN)
3. If the code didn't work, try again and hit return this time ;-)
4. The setup should now fc and you should never see it again =]
Enjoy =]

Despite English is not my native language I usually spell and construct grammatically as best I can to avoid misunderstanding. Sorry if that single word offended you.
Also sorry for not including fancy words like dude, bro, man, guys, lol, rofl or more of this kind.
In respect of the person who is addressed I will not fall to the level of calling anyone dude, bro, man or guys when male/female is unknown.

Dear OP, I would like to know the latest status of this ROM though it has only been posted a few days ago. Do you have any plan on releasing new updates for this ROM in the nearest time? Thanks.

Thanks for this ROM. It works like a charm for an early build and I'm expecting the next updates will be better. Good job to OP and everyone that worked together. Just to report that NFC isn't working but I hardly see it as a problem since I never use it anyway.
EDIT - Enabled ROOT from the Developers Option but how do I get SuperSU works here? Or do I even need one? Thanks

@ mauk - I've had a run in with @O-T before - It seems to be a serial offender when it comes to flaming people - There are only so many times that you can use the excuse of something not being your native language. @ O-T The sensible way would be to ask someone who has english as a first language to read you posts first.... that way any unpleasantness can be avoided - If you want to PM me your posts I'll check them over. As for being called dude - as far as I'm aware it can be non gender specific term - so no offence caused there!
Thanks for the sharing! But I'm gonna wait for the OP to fix this issue in the future build.

you can run in terminal

also you can also connect via adb and run adb shell, then as root [su] run

i say to do that one through adb because it doesn't display correctly and is kind of unmanagable in the tab's
terminal window.
Also try modifying you performance settings, on the updated kernel you should be set to ondemand/cfq

Okay thanks looking forward to updates for this rom. Also I was wondering.. For the ROMs for the t530 tabs like the cm12 one they now have. What would need to be done to get it booting... I heard all the ROMs with the same board need is a working kernel.. Idk if that's right but if it is would the kernel for this ROM get the cm 12 ROM booting or does it need a new one?

For the most part that's somewhat true correct, however i haven't bothered because the roms are being packaged with the block setup
as opposed to the tried and true way and i just don't have the patience to unpack that setup and repack it.
To be truthful i think i've gotten addicted to this stuff in a slightly mentally unstable kind of way :silly:
And as such am running multiple projects at once, so if you want to chip in on trying that approach, downoad one of the
sm-t53xx builds, get it unpacked and repacked cm11 style and link me to it, a respectable site, not 4shared or dumbass gator
or any place like that, and i'll see what i can do. my current attempts with bliss keep breaking at camerawrapper issues and gps issues.

Id love to waste time to get it working but I'm no developer by any means... I will do some googling and see if I can... I love to waste time on this stuff so thanks for the info I will message u if I am anywhere near successful... If you have any good links to show how to do it it would be very helpful. Thanks

all custom roms sucks...as much you gain from them you loose more

I tried every rom posible and all have the biggest bug ever ...at least for me it is but nobody is talking about ...there is something i don't know ? there is no need to be mean to my question but why all roms have this problem with keeping the playstore apps updated ...why the apps revert to previous versions and why this is hapening only to custom roms ?.. if then i ask you what is the use of custom roms? ...
these days even a five years child can root install a custom cwm , a custom kernel a viper4 sound mod and debloat a original stock rom
Lol.
I haven't experience anything like that, in any Roms i have flashed.
Throw your s4 and buy some updated android device.

What kind of gapps are you running? I've been using opengapps for every custom ROM I've used and had no issue what so ever.

a custom rom is exactly what it says it is, a customised version of the original android operating system that somebody has, in their own precious time, played around with to try & give us something a little different for this ageing device. Chances are that if you went out tomorrow & bought an S7 edge & fired it up you would have to update some gapps, whichever you may use. I think you need to take a deep breath & have a little more appreciation & understanding for the things that go on here. If a 5 yr old is able to do what you claim then maybe you should turn your hand to contributing to the community................... but thats just my opinion......no offence intended
Is this guy for real? Apps simply don't revert to previous version after you update them. There's a simple setting in the playstore that allows auto update of your installed apps to the latest version when they become available. And is this how you lose from custom Roms? Lololololol I thought your device blew up or melted.
Buy an IPhone and explain us how cool is it. You'll enjoy it, for sure
Pls close delete this thread its useless.

The problem isn't the phone, it's the user.
Just close this.

Believe it or not, but I have seen similar behavior with some of my apps.
I update it dl today and tomorrow I have to update again, but there doesn't seem to be any changes in the changelog.
But this happens rarely.
So I believe the OP exaggerates. This also started happening only recently, so it's either something related to the new Android updates - which means older ROMs (5.1 and below) should be safe - or something related to gapps.
To everyone who asked for this thread to be closed and/or brought up the fact it's in the wrong place, why did you not click on the little triangle at the bottom left of the post and report it? Mods can't do anything about it if they don't know there is an issue.
As to the OP, I actually tried keeping an Android 2.3.3 ROM's Google apps up to date - one of the features of the ROM I offered. To do that I didn't include anything but the Play Store. Today, such a task would be difficult. If you like, you can download a GApps package from OpenGApps on a daily basis and flash it yourself.

Spyware on Custom ROM

Dear All,
This morning when i tried to restore deleted photos from my A2017G (AEX 5.8 nFound Latest Treble ROM) because i accidentally deleted some important photos yesterday.
These are my spec:
- A2017G 4/64
- AEX 5.8 Treble by NFound build date 20180812
- Kernel Schwifty vR3+
- Magisk v16.7 (1671)
-- GL Tools Module
-- Magic Charging Switch Module
File recovery app:
- Disk Digger Pro File Recovery build date 20180805
I found some recovered photos which i never took with my camera or screenshot, and by the look of them indicated that they were taken silently by system (please notice there is no statusbar on the pics).
Can anyone else confirm my findings? Is it possible that the custom ROM itself does this or other software? I never installed any malicious or unknown apks on my phone but XDA Labs Apk and Magisk Modules.
Attached are some of my proofs (recovered with Disk Digger Pro), there are more but some of them are private whatsapp chat session and my contact lists.
Please be advised, this is a pure Q&A post, i never intended to accuse any developer of any ROM or Software regarding my findings posted in this post.
Any chance that recovery app showed original location?
do you need the file recovery app pro version to check? Root or standard scan?

No way, even the original name is gone.

Root Scan, thus im using pro version of the app.

Does the free root scan work? Or is there a free alternative that works? Don't think people will buy the app just to test this.
Can you tell us in which folder these screenshot files were placed?

free version is working perfectly for photos/videos, as long as you gave it root access.

they were "deleted" and the recovered files show no original name/loc.
For the time being, I move to PixelExperience Treble GSI.
I just hope and pray everyone else's data and privacy is safe using any custom rom out there.
Seeing similar screenshots here on Kranoner's last RR-O. My system has a lot of mods, but yours is clean right so it's not likely our apps or mods. I checked there's nothing similar on my Sony Z3C L14.1. Could be from custom bootstack or recovery. More likely it could be from closed ZTE code in drivers or bootstack. Easy way to narrow the cause to being proprietary ZTE code is running complete stock with root for awhile to check if it occurs. My ROM is B32 Nougat source with it too (though I think it has some Chinese B10 source mixed in looking at github), so can run B32 stock to check. Some screenshots are saved as 1440 while some as 720 resolution.
It will not look weird if this is true.ROMS from axon7 are maintained by someone from an "unfriendly state"
Moderator Edit: Please avoid being TOO explicit in your opinion on fellow earth-dwellers... I've edited the above. Thanks
Well this is strange then. Someone else mentioned the same Disk Digger discovered screenshots thing in the Moto G5S Plus forums earlier this month. Lluvia ROM. Wonder what's going on here.
I reckon it's time I examine my stuff on both phones.

That has got to be the most idiotic thing. So you're saying "they" (Kranoner, NFound, WesTD, et al) are subversives? Secretly and purposely grabbing goodies from our phones for some nefarious purpose? LMFAO.
Sure it's not beyond possibility but still...
That can be the case with anyone, whether they're flying the Red, White & Blue or the sickle and hammer.
Since a big chunk of ROMs are built by folks from around the world what are you gonna do. Start vetting devs to find out what their views are regarding the US/West before flashing ROMs. We really don't need that kind of thinking.
ZTE Axon 7 A2017U, AospExtended v4.6 ROM, LlamaSweet 0.5 Kernel, microG (NoGapps), Multiboot, XDA Legacy

ZTE, a government audited company from China recently got whipped by the USA for breeching privacy laws and providing equipment to Iran and you are worried about Russian and Turkish developers?
Do you realise that the Turks are big allies of the west? They fight with the west against trouble in the middle east.
And what connection would a developer have with any politics anyway?
Who says developers dont work in secret for the government? but i say crazy things fast lol,but not impossible.What else can the problem be?Google sources?

Please stop posting, unless you have something on topic to contribute. You're embarrassing yourself. Perhaps ZTE, please learn to read and get a basic understanding before spewing your filth.

I would try that recovery app but how could I trust that app, not being malicious?
Can't find anything helpful about that app dev.

You can twrp backup first, test and restore after. Keep net turned off all the while or use a firewall.
edit: to external card to not lose deleted recoverable images
Im not saying the developers are,but ther governments.But probably im wrong lol

What directory did you find these in?
I got one better, was trying to download one of the HellsGate Kernels on my computer and Chrome won't let me download it due to a Virus detected and MSE quarantined it. I tried two different mirrors and same thing. Could be a false postive after reading about it but just want to let people know about it.

Report says it's a Win32 trojan. Don't think that applies to an Android kernel build file. Probably false positive
