Questions before Rooting - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hey everyone! This is the first time I ever get an unlocked phone. I am moving from a samsung s5 and when I rooted it, I saw that with certain roms (cm 13) had issues with data not working on Boost Mobile. I would always have to stick with stock rom variants which was sometimes annoying. Now that I got this phone though, does anyone know if there are problems like this on certain roms? Been awhile since I've done this since there was a lot of issues on boost

I have cdma as well (Verizon towers through straight talk) and have no issues on any ROM. I'd say give it a try and I bet they work.

Think I might as well do it and test it. Any ROM you'd recommend?

Lineage is a great basic rom, and RR is based on LOS, but has a TON of customization.
something i did notice, is that you lose a lot of the sprint specific things on LOS roms (Update PRL, Set to Global Mode, and some dial codes)
something to think about.
Either way, you can always just trwp backup the stock, and go bac if needed

[Q] Permanent LOS

I just got my Epic 4G Touch today, and after changing the PRL and attempting to use roam control, my phone started to get LOS that persists after reboots and flashes. I've tried flashing back to stock, flashing back to the first backup I did, flashing the stock radio over "Phone" in ODIN, using Roam Control again, and flashing kernals that claim to reduce LOS. I've had no luck so far.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? And if you did, were you able to reverse it?
Edit: I just tried manually disabling roaming on the networks tab, and now my LOS is gone. However, now it's saying something about registration failure. I'm trying a restore again to see if it was something I fiddled around with in the ##3282# menu.
Edit Again: Damn, that didn't work either. I'm calling Sprint and just saying that my data doesn't work anymore. Voice is working fine though.
Edit2: ****, I posted this in the wrong forum. Sorry mods.
Welcome to the world of the latest buggiest high end phone. No one knows exactly what causes the LoS orgy, but it seems exacerbated by custom modifications like rooting and custom kernels, although some on stock everything get it as well.
How did i resolve mine? I ditched it and went back to my Nexus S that works and has none of these issues. I didn't appreciate paying nearly 400 for a phone and it's near useless as a phone.
Good luck.

+1 on this... Stay FAR away from Samsung if you rely on your phone as anything more than a toy to tinker with.
LOS = Loss of service?

Well, Nexus S was made by Samsung and is a pretty good phone. Most manufacturers (HTC, Motorola etc) have their share of problems as well. As long as Sammy does not deal with the software side of things, it produces fine hardware. The LOS (loss of service) issue with ET4G is still unresolved though .

A regional thing perhaps? I've never had an issue like that with my Epic.

I9505 or most international roms losing signal ?

Hello all I have had this phone since launch date and love it.However when flashing international roms like i9505 or tmobile roms etc... there roms seem to loose signal in and out every so often like maybe once every 15 mins or so.. it only happens to international roms.I am on the latest base running Battery king @ the moment BGA base flashing different kernels made no difference in fixing this issue.Wondering if you guys have any input on this problem ? APN is on ATT LTE
What baseband are you on at the moment?
I have found my dl speeds are 25-40% lower on i9505 roms than US ones. But, they are still very high so not an issue for me. ATT/PTA. LTE didn't get me anything.

Yes I have noticed that with the GE 4.2.2 ROM and the GE 4.3 leak that is out.
My phone sometimes would randomly just lose signal and then come back in maybe 30 seconds. Also I would get a new voice mail and the phone didn't even ring.
So I didn't lose signal as much as you are saying, I just lost it every once in awhile, but I still can relate to your problem.
Currently this afternoon I am working on putting on my phone the latest MF3, pre-rooted and I debloated by myself, so as I don't lock myself out of flashing in the future. I'm just putting in the finishing touches and flashing the MF3 baseband as well.
My take on all this, is the GE ROM is great and has none of the crap that the carrier ROMs have, but the problem is I think that the GE roms aren't optimized for specific carriers, that may be where the performance issues are. Plus I think Samsung is more capable of optimized the OS for their own phone's hardware than Google is.
Pfft that's an at&t thing I flash all roms that are compatible and I never lose any kind of signal and my dl speeds are the same too. Poor guys on at&t keep getting that pole rammed up a little bit further!!!

OK, when I changed to LTE I had no data. Now maybe I could have re-registered on network or rebooted. But, didn't get that far. Just went back to PTA and got LTE back--don't know why

Straight Talk Galaxy S Showcase

Being a relative newcomer to the Android and Smart Phone world, I wanted to comment on my experiences with my first step into this community.
The phone that I have is a Samsung Galaxy SCH-S950C that I purchased from Straight Talk about a year ago. While it is not necessarily common knowledge... this phone is identical to the Samsung Galaxy Fascinate SCH-I500. This particular model was made specifically for Straight Talk and is a CDMA phone running on the Verizon Towers.
For all practical purposes, when it comes to modifying this phone, you can simply treat it as a Verizon Fascinate and simply follow any existing guide for flashing custom ROM's. The only real difference is that if you ever wanted to go back to Stock for whatever reason.... there is an additional Stock Image for Straight Talk which I can point you towards if anyone needs it.
Since getting this phone, I have tried pretty much every modification you can think of because.... well to put it simply... playing with these things and testing their limits is a lot of fun
I have become "Flash Happy" and change ROM's on this phone every couple of days. Thanks to the Developers on this Forum.. I have had a nearly constant supply of new and interesting ROM's to play with. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. Some are more stable than others. A few are good for daily drivers and a few are a little too unstable for anything but experimentation with special features.
I have experienced every issue you can think of.... I have had my phone stuck in Boot Loops, been unable to flash anything due to Status 7 Errors, I have had the battery overheat, the Radio stop working, lockups, random reboots, and even pretty much bricked the phone.
Thanks to all the great people on this Forum.... I have always been able to find a way to recover from any issue and get my phone back to stock and start all over again.
So THANK YOU to all the members of this Forum and to all of the Developers that are still producing great work for this phone... such as HHP_211, Unjustified Dev, BBrad, Bdogg718, Notta, DerTeufel1980 and of course jt1134, you have provided me with an unending supply of fun things to do with this phone. And I thank you for all that you guys do for this community.
So which ROM do you find most enjoyable/stable ?

Most enjoyable..... I'd have to go with Domination simply because it has all the bells and whistles.... ton's of features to play with
Most Stable...... HellyBean. Never had any issues at all with it and it has quite a few bells and whistles as well.... I tend to keep going back to it as my daily driver because I keep running into glitches with all the others I've tried out...
Do you have any suggestions on where I can start to find a proper mod for this phone? I find the stock rom extremely unreliable.....crashing programs etc pretty often....and i am pretty new to fooling with them, but have a basic grasp of what i'm gonna be doing.
Well.... this forum is the place to start.... take a look through all of the ROMs listed in here and play around with a few of them. They all have their strengths. What works for one person may not work for another.... it all depends on what you like.
4.3 ROMs are a lot of fun to play with since they are the newest version of Android... however Data is really flaky on 4.3 so far. It is an issue that is being worked on so soon I think it will be stable... but it isn't really suitable for a daily driver quite yet unless 3G data is not important to you.
A lot of people say that 4.2.2 ROMs are too much for this phone to handle and are slow and buggy... however my experience tells me that they work just fine. I am a personal fan of HellyBean.... I have never had an issue with it... everything works the way that it should.... and at least for me... it runs very fast. But my best suggestion is to try a few out for yourself and pick the one you like.

I agree. I actually went back and tried Gummy ICS (had a bad experience with that after trying to change the boot animation. wouldn't boot up at one point at all). Since I have a VZW fascinate, i tried the EH03 Verizon build and oh god it's awful. eh03 is like ten times better than the eclair and froyo builds, but it's still really bad due to bloatware and Touchwiz. so i tried CM7 and wifi was actually really finicky. i was using glitch kernel but it was still strange. ICS and JB could hold a connection, even EH03 could, but not CM7 for some reason.
I have since moved to Hellybean and haven't looked back.

also, out of curiosity, what version of Android is stock on the Straight Talk Showcase?

The Showcase came with Gingerbread 2.3.4.... In order to go back to stock... I actually Odin the Verizon EH03 package and then Odin a Straight Talk Image over that. Basically the same as the Verizon Fascinate Image but with some of the Bloatware removed and changes the Boot Animation to Straight Talk logo instead of Verizon.

Unlocked with GSM + LTE!

Hi everyone, I use an unlocked Sprint Note 4 with Cricket/at&t. I understood that by unlocking that I would only ever achieve HSPA+ speeds because Sprint locks the LTE band's available. I accepted that, as it didn't bother me and I mainly use Wifi, but that didn't stop me from trying.
All my attempts never seemed to make a difference, until the other week, I finally realized that LTE must not be available at my home. Because while I was driving I noticed I had a LTE signal, which was a complete shock to me. So I did some testing and I only received HSPA at home with all my phones.
Conclusion:
So that means one of the steps I did must have activated LTE. I do have to force it to connect sometimes with phone info shortcut. Or at&t is broadcasting on one of sprints bands in that area.
If anyone is interested in this, I do believe I know the exact steps to replicate this. If this shows interest, I will turn this post into a guide. This would be my first guide, so bear with me.
Edit: After further testing, I'm concluding that I'm only getting Lte in certain area, so it must be that at&t is using one of the Sprint bands there. If something changes, I'll update!
Edit 12/11/16 - only getting lte at certain place. It's band 2. Added pic below.
Pics below show Lte. You can see from crickets website that 4g is only 4mbps and Lte is 8mbps.

I would be more than interested in knowing how you unlocked the LTE Bands because (you must be aware through my previous posts) I too use unlocked N910P with a GSM SIM but all I get is H+.
I did try to unlock the LTE bands using a thread on XDA but it did not work as the tool wasn't even able to recognize the phone.
Hence, a step-by-step guide would be appreciated regarding the same.

I'm not sure if I unlocked them or not.
This just all became aware to me that i have lte. So I'm still testing. It seems like I'm only getting lte in one certain area. I don't know if maybe at&t is using a sprint band in that area. And that's what is making it possible.
I also don't know if anyone one thing i did made this possible. I will edit my post with all my changes. And you can test to see if it changes anything for you. Give me a bit.

I'm also on a domestic unlocked 910p with cricket, and have noticed LTE popping up from time to time. It's not consistent though. I just assumed it was because I hadn't changed my network mode to GSM/UTMS. I was driving at the time so I couldn't check to see if it was actually working.

I've been testing cm 14. So I just now went back to custom stock. When I go back to work today in gonna do more testing. But after seeing your experience and my assumption, I'm thinking that I don't have any more lte bands. But just that att is using one of the bands this phone has.
I'll keep you all posted.
Im also interested, I'm using AT&T towers as well through straight talk... but ive only ever been able to get 3g. But more so than not lately, unfortunately, ive been getting stuck with GSM service, not even 3g.. So if you figure something out that'd b great , otherwise any tips to improve my speed capabilities would b much appreciated. . And just 2-3 miles away is an AT&T tower so i should be capable of much more.

Really, I don't know how I get it in area I get it. But it's funny you commented. Because I was just getting on here to update.
I'm at my sister's where I get Lte. So I installed an app to find more info.
Here's the pic. I'm on band 2 here in western pa. Don't know how yet. Don't travel to much to compare. But this is only place I get Lte. So I'm still trying to figure out what and how I did.
Any how here's the pics

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm just gonna list some of the newer ones that are still being developed. But there are also more stable builds out there but they're no longer being improved upon. = final build. (Ex. Any of @tx_dbs_tx older roms are very stable= MOAR rom, Note 5 rom, Mr Wonderful)
Back to current ones,
If you want a very customizable rom then Dtux Rom here is great. I use it myself when I'm not testing another. Plus Dev is getting ready to put out v7 very soon.
Then there's new CM14 here. Still getting all the bugs out but is very stable enough for daily driver. If you want Nouget then it's only option right now. Or if you want a minimal aosp rom, then it's the way to go.
Then a lot of people like trying the Note 7 ports, specifically one of these here. But it requires some work to get service working. Personally I'd wait til @tx_dbs_tx releases his Note 7 port. Won't be long, i hope. But it'll be tailored for our device.
There you go, that's my personal opinion through experience. It just depends on what you looking for. But all of them are stable. Good luck!
Edit. I just re-read your question. If your looking for a stockish rom. I'd suggest Mr Wonderful here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-t3396498
Read next post!
Or you can try Dtux but just don't install the modset, if you don't want all the custom stuff.

Sprint Note 7 port is very close to a public beta release! Keep looking in the Sprint N4 development forum ETA should be before Xmas. Expect only minor bugs such as fingerprint scanner and always on display. otherwise completely functioning and pure Sprint N7 rom. I will move on to the next available Samsung Nougat rom if I have the time and patience and if I haven't upgraded my phone by then. Otherwise this N7 port will be my last rom for the Sprint N4. I like to go out with a big BANG!

List of ROMs that support WiFi Calling?

Yeah it's unfortunate but no devs have found interest in beefing up stock ROMs for the Axon 7. They're all AOSP based and ported which I've learned a long time ago will never support WiFi Calling. I've had to run plain stock rooted since owning the phone and never had the chance to try out all the good stuff that's available now.
But yeah as of now I think the outdated BadBoyz ROM is the closest anybody will get to a custom stock ROM and have WiFi Calling.

Same! The Axon 7 has an awesome Dev community which I'm thankful for seeing, but the lack of stock ROMs leaves us WiFi Calling fanatics out of luck. If I knew anything about dev'ing ROMs I'd jump right into that shizz haha.
@raystef66 could you look into porting some of those old ROMs' modifications? I have no idea how easy or hard that would be, but maybe with the APKs it would be enough

I was just going through our rom, Im not sure but i think a lot of it is that your carrier needs to support WFC. I know TMO does and AT&T. What base are you using US Model or for the G ?

It depends on the carrier but also if its implemented onto the rom. U models have it and works on TMO. Perhaps AT&T too. But as other carriers provide it too and having a G version i just wondered. But you wrote to me it could only be an extra apk for wfc ? If so ill dig up your rom and look for it. Perhaps ill find a way.
Digging up an old thread so I don't post a duplicate.
Does anyone know if ROM creators have been able to get Wifi Calling working yet? My phone is driving me nuts with random slowdown and hanging. I know I can just wipe it and start fresh, but if I'm going to wipe the phone I want to move up to Oreo.

Unfortunately most, if not all custom ROM's for the Axon 7 are still AOSP based and don't include WiFi Calling. The most recent Lineage 15.1 has the option for it under settings, but nobody, not even the dev, have answered if it truly works or not yet. It's like anything regarding WiFi Calling gets ignored.
Your best bet is to download NFound's release of the Oreo B12 Beta which is perfectly stable and will offer everything stock has like Dolby, and more importantly WiFi Calling.
