So I am trying to get the percentage for the battery next to it, but it seems the percentage is only able to be inside the battery? Does anyone know if there is a switch/workaround for this?
2nd) I had to flash a retail rom (my phone came from Moto themselves) and now I get "Retail services shut down" or something like that, tried google, nothing. If anyone has information about that, please let me know.
3rd) Does Xposed work for the Moto E4? If so can someone provide a link pretty please?
4th) I encrypted with the ROM encryption, is there a way I can get it to run backup? (I will post everything you need to help with this if anyone wishes to help)
5th) Is there any custom roms for this phone, again google showed me nothing for this.
Any advice will be "thanked" and I will be grateful for ANY advice/answers!
There are no custom ROMs yet, they should start coming after Oct 1, then you'll have much more customization options. There is currently no stable Xposed for our phone, but you can flash an unofficial version (that would also help you get customizations).
Are you sure you flashed the right stock images? How did you flash them?
When you say backup do you mean in TWRP? Why wouldn't it work?

Easy guide/comparison of (current) G4+ Roms & Features & current release levels
Besides the ongoing philosophical/(or more accurately RELIGIOUS) discussion of TWRP vs. CM13, (kind of agnostic about that, have run both in past)
can anyone go over what is CURRENTLY available for the Moto G4+, (XT1644), what are the differences/features between the ROMS, what state are they in, (beta/stable),
etc?
I am (personally) interested in a ROM that would be able to do "OTA" updates to itself, if that is a viable feature.
I would be willing to help re-write this into a beginners guide if someone can help me with the details.
thanks in advance.

twrp is recovery completely working,only cm13(in beta state) rom is available beside the stock.Dont have ota idea for cm13
Thanks for your reply.
OK. so you say TWRP is fully working. But it's only a recovery, correct? & works with the stock rom.
IS that why I can do a systemless rooting of phone without changing it?
Yeah twrp is recovery,in system less rooting we have to flash twrp but in system less after "rebooting device" it gets replaced by stock recovery. Usually to keep twrp i used too reboot the bootloader so it replaces stock recovery.
Hey guys,
I have a LG d802 phone which a relative asked me to update (i.e install a custom ROM) because his version of Android, 4.4.2 is having its support dropped for different, important applications he uses and he would need to throw this perfectly healthy phone away otherwise.
I am no expert at Android rooting, but I know the basic idea anyway. However, when I look up this device on TWRP.me (as well as their official app), it gives no results. I find it strange that the international variant of this phone would be unsupported; especially since I have seen threards on XDA as well as YouTube videos posted about running TWRP on this device. I am reluctant to try flashing files from random Dropbox (or similar) links however, especially if they are a few years old.
Could someone please provide an explanation how I go about to flash TWRP on this device, and if there is any special rules regarding installing a custom ROM (in my case, ResurrectionRemix) and GApps?
Also, I understood I need something called "loki", what is this and how do I use it?
Running Android 4.4.2, everything in stock except I enabled USB debugging.
Thanks a lot for any assistance!
Hi all.
I have a Moto G5 Plus(XT1687) that I would like use a custom ROM on. In fact I bought a second one to specifically do this with. I have only done this once with a Samsung Galaxy S5 and the MicroG version of LineageOS 14.1
With the Moto G5 Plus there are some extra steps from what I gather(you have to get permission from Motorola in order to unlock the bootloader is one example). And there are some intimidating things that I am just unsure about - such as to install Arrow you have to have Oreo 8.1 installed - but when you unlock the bootloader it wipes the phone? So how is this possible? Do I have to install the stock Oreo ROM first? Where do I get the stock ROM?
I have done a couple of months of searching for guides but have found different instructions and some with broken links to software on google drives or other sites I am not sure are safe. I asked about on the subreddit for Moto G and they pointed me here(which I have read a lot here over the past several months.).
Here is what I know:
1) I will need to enable developer options and USB debugging on the phone
2) I will have to get a code from the phone through abd and fastboot. In order to unlock the bootloader, I have to contact Motorola. give them a code and they will send me a code in order to do so(correct?)
3) I need to install TWRP in order to flash any ROM and other software, such as Gapps.
What I am asking of the community:
1) Legitimate link to the software needed.
2) Recommendations for ROMs. What do I want? I want to get be able to get out of the clutches of Google as much as possible. I understand that Android is Google, but most of the custom ROMs have removed most of the Google code. There is not a ROM from the MicroG website for Potter, which is what I really wanted(is this just LineageOS with thew micro Gapps?) I also have found replacement apps for almost all of my normal apps in the F-Droid repository. Ones I have studied: LineageOS(no official for Moto G5 Plus), Arrow OS, HavocOS and RessurectionOS. I have heard there are many out there. Important to have the actual phone part working well.
3) What is the differences in the different Gapps packages(Open Gapps, Mind the Gapps)?
4) What is this magisk I keep on reading about? Is that just for root? And don't you need root to install TWRP?
5) A step by step guide to make sure I don't jack this up. Even though this is my 'play' phone, I would like it to become my daily driver and plan on getting a SIM card as soon as I can get a stable OS on it.
6) Any tips or recommendations for someone like me.
I appreciate any input.
Thank you.
OK, I found this, but it is over a year old.
Is the info there still relevant? Is there anything that has changed since it was posted?
one two and three of what you know is ok.
The custom rom must be for the device.
On my motog5 plus I use Crdroid-Rom without Google Gapps.
Magisk is used to get root, that is, make changes and view the root of the device.
The information is valid. Rom-are outdated.
Thank you. Doing more research. Hopefully I will have a functioning device by the end of the weekend.
If you want smoothest experience try citrus-CAF its pure CAF rom its very nice smooth and fast.
I recently got a 6P and have learnt a few things that are pushing me towards a custom ROM;
1. No Night Light (blue light filter) on stock.
2. No NFC quick toggle
3. Enforced encryption
4. In the event of the dreaded bootloop, I understand it's only possible to rescue the device if bootloader is unlocked.
I don't particularly want to unlock the bootloader etc as I want to be able to use Google Pay and banking apps freely, however I understand that with the use of Magisk this shouldn't be a problem.
I've rooted etc many devices since Android 2 but I'm aware that each device has its quirks.
Basically (TLDR):
What do I need to know/do to get from Stock to ABC rom with with Google Pay etc working fully?
Thanks for your help!
Just found this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
Is all of that still accurate? Anything else on top of that worth knowing?

As far as flashing 8.1 devices? Yeah, based on when this device was made the unlock and flash process was nice and simple.
Don't be surprised if some stuff won't work with an unlocked BL though. Yeah root can hide itself but some safety net checks are better than others and they look at the BL. I don't use banking apps on an unsafe phone, but I still see people every once in a while posting about *whatever* app they use does not work due to safety net.
Do not use above as a reason to lock your BL on a custom rom. NEVER do it.
If you descide at some point to want to move on to 9.0, do some research between FDE encryption, which is what this device has always used. And FBE encryption which some people are building 9.0 ROMs with. This will save you from me yelling at you for not being able to read an OP if you want to go to 9.0
Thanks for your reply.
I apologise for being lazy in my post. I have two small children and know from part experience that one can spend a long time collecting various patchy, out dated pieces of info from disparate, incomplete forum threads! However, it seems that there is pretty good, comprehensive tutorials for the Nexus 6p :victory:
My main questions I guess now are:
1. Do I still need to flash the vendor image if coming from stock 8.1?
2. I've heard ABC has safetynet built in... Does this mean Google Pay etc is more likely to work?
3. I can't find a link to the last ABC rom. That Kajinsk(?) Website doesn't seem to be in use anymore.
4. Is it possible to go back to fully stock with a locked bootloader if I decide to?
Thanks

If the vendor image does not match the month of the rooms security patch you get a message that pops up on the device about it, other than that I doesn't hurt anything.
No idea, again, I don't mess with stuff that checks safteynet.
Not sure on the rok quest either, can try in the thread but yeah kantjer nuked his site when he got rid of his 6p.
Yeah, just get the factory image from the Google site and fastboot flash it.

Even if vendor image is newer than rom security patch? So I'd probably have to flash an older vendor image than the current OPM7.181205 so that it matches whatever the last ABC rom patch level was?
Knowing that I can go back to stock and locked bootloader makes me happier to see how things go with a custom rom. I know some devices can't be relocked fully.
Think I've found the last ABC rom image:

As I said, I have NEVER heard of anyone having issues not being on the right vendor aside from a notification on reboot.
Okay, thanks!
Hi, my wife give the other day an old lenovo b8000-f she had at her work. I't new with little use with use, but of course i can't be perfect i shas android 4.4.2, very old. I don't want to use it as a brand new modern tablet, but with android 4.4.2 i can use it for almost anything. Is there a rom to upgrade it, i already search and i can't find anything. I fanybody know some roms plese tell me.
Thank
Aloha, I looking for any ROM to update my Lenovo B8080-F as well, however, at the moment I couldn't find anything relative to this even on Google. I just found this to Install a Recovery TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3282520
We appreciate if someone read this and got any idea where can we find a ROM to update our old tables.
Cheers!
Does anybody have a link to a custom ROM for a Lenovo B8000? Seen the instructions to install TWRP but don't see much point in doing that unless there's a ROM available.

I'm looking too. It seems such a shame to let an old decent tablet like this go to waste...
