[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] T_I:
Yeah, but the XT164x models have the fingerprint reader, the XT162x models haven't. I'm not sure if 1 unified version is better then one for the XT162x and one for the XT164x. Personally I'd prefer an athene and an athene_f build. The firmware is different, so I wouldn't dump the extra ballast in the build for the G4 that only the G4+ needs. (that's why I work on a seperatie athene build, first get my stuff working, then kick the XT164x models out when the unified build supports those the way the community wants.

Also, I want ringtones, so I keep going until the patches work and are incorporated in [MENTION=5426059]ashwin007[/MENTION] his build.

I'd rather work together then compete, but that wasn't my choice. I'll step down as soon as the unified build works as I need it to. I've invested to much time to quit before there is a build satisfactory to my needs, so I work on until the unified build is usable. (Then I switch back to the Tab S2, nobody else is developing for my Tab S2, there I develop in a team instead of against one, which I prefer)

Single sim variant isn't recognised by os

Tried with XT1626 variant unfortunately didn't work single/dual SIM setup:(.cm-13.0-20160817-UNOFFICIAL-athene.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] T_I:
Hmmm, it checks dualsim availability and defaults to single sim. When installed, can you run "adb shell getprop", catch the output and pm it to me? I'm expecting having to unset an option for single sim, which I'm now using to detect dual or single sim.

I just uploaded latest build, works on dual sim XT1622 (except for ringtones, which I hoped to have had fixed, will need to dig deeper tomorrow).

[MENTION=4557146]T_I[/MENTION] Will this work on XT1643?
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] T_I:
Yeah, I was disappointed as well. Ah well, they work as a team, but somehow I mis some open-source ideology. Can't do anything about it, so I won't let it ruin my day.

Drat, will do an engineering build, so we can adb logcat during boot to see what goes wrong. (need it anyway to track down the problems with ringtones, build just doesn't want to play them)

When it's dualsim, probably. The original sources worked on that device as well, but I took single/dualsim out of the device tree, as device number alone isn't enough to determine single or dual sim. I did the same with memory though. Is there a dual sim, 3G+ Moto G4 owner that can do a 'adb shell getprop dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit' ? That is one of the settings that differs in the builds. I'm curious of that test works. (should be 92m on non-2g models, 192 on 2g models, need to check why smaller models got a larger heap)
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] RBMattos:
if it helps i can do that on my XT1626 [MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION]: it's 192M in XT1626
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] T_I:
Thanks, the XT1626, as far as I can find, has 2GB internal memory, so that's as expected.

I just decided to add all media_codec and audio config/xml, just to exclude issues in that area when I found that the sources included a couple of OMX*Enc (audio encoding) products, but just 1 OMX*Dec (decoding) package. Nice that encoding is included, but decoding could be useful as well. I hope this is why the mp3 ringtones are failing. Logcat showed it was missing the OMX*Dec needed, so I guess it is. I'm building and will test as soon as build is finished.

17/08/2016 build is not detecting sim on xt1625 single sim

can anyone try it on the other single sim variants?
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] T_I:
Ok, got ringtones partially fixed (mp3 work, flac doesn't. Looks like I need to add several codecs. I mixed a couple of updated, including one of the original source and dumped in some stock files, which results in a red flashing border. (is related to missing codecs or at least sound related)

I also checked of the check for single/dual sim works and it does. I just haven't got the right settings yet to activate the sim slot. I've uploaded 2 roms (both flashing red border):

Merlin method (taken from Merlin sources)

Athene method (taken from original Athene sources)

Can someone test if one of those results in a working simcard on a single sim device? (and of not, send the output of 'adb shell getprop' marked with either merling or athene to me? (so I can check what I'm missing)
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ryacurbak0617:
Sure. I'll test them both on the xt1625
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] T_I:
Thanks, if they both don't work, can someone with a single sim XT1622 test? (just to rule out a difference between the 22 and the 26)

Edit: Just uploaded 4th build of today, flashing red border, but ringtones are now available in ogg, wav, mp3 and flac. (single sim method is broken in that build)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TarekElsakka:
I was always a dual user of both iOS and Android, but when the iPhone 6 came out, I decided to opt for the iPhone 6 Plus and use it primarily and gave my HTC M8 to my mother. I must say I had an amazing experience with HTC, using both the M7 and M8 consecutively. Recently I've been experiencing issues with the iPhone and the 6S does not really interest me, so I was thinking of going back to Android. The options I am looking at are the S7 Edge and HTC 10.

Since I've had a great experience with HTC, I thought I would go for the 10 but I read a lot of mixed reviews about it and from the looks department, it looks really similar to my M8 so it won't feel much different, and I believe HTC Sense has not been overhauled recently so it's going to feel almost exactly the same. I had horrible experiences with both the Galaxy S3 and S5, the latter being the WORST device I've ever used in my life (and I've used so many), which is why I am scared about going for the S7 Edge.

My experience with the S5 started well, but gradually kept getting worse and worse until it was time to give it up - it had the Exynos (not sure of the spelling) processor, so perhaps that is why? But I've always found TouchWiz to be quite laggy compared to stock Android, for example. I have read good reviews about the S7 Edge, however, and I have a couple of questions before going ahead and buying it:

1) How is TouchWiz nowadays? Is it smooth and snappy or would I need install custom ROMs and such? I really love custom ROMs and changing it up every now and then so I won't have problems with that.

2) Is there a noticeable difference between the Snapdragon and the Exynos? On the S5, the latter was NOT supported by developers at all, so it is the same case here or not?

3) Samsung seems to have many variants of the S7, but to my understanding there are two S7 Edge variants, one with a dual-sim (DUOS) and one with just one, so is that true? And if so, are they both supported by developers or just one of them?

4) How is your overall experience with the device so far? And is the S8 possibly coming out soon? I wouldn't mind waiting if it's going to be released very soon.

Thank you for your time.

p.s. I recently purchased a Moto 360 2nd gen smart watch which I absolutely watch and is one of the main reasons I want an Android device because its iOS support is horrendous; is the S7 Edge compatible with the Moto 360 fine? Or is the dependability solely relying on the Android Wear app itself rather than the actual device?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] drummerman:
Rooting and developer support seem to crop up frequently in your post.

For that reason the Exynox version is probably more of interest.

However, I would suggest another option if you really feel that strongly about playing around with rom's and that is the Oneplus3. It has all the support you need.

Personally, the worst thing I can say about the Edge is that the alarm doesn't go quiet enough ... . I also use the Op3 though I have not rooted, it works just fine as is (as does the S7E).

Both are plenty fast enough for any software currently available. - I think half the problems some seem to have with the S7(E) seems to originate with the need to customize every little bit.

TouchWhiz is good (imho) and even the browser is optimized and blazingly fast. At the end of the day it comes down to UI preference. Op's UI is much closer to stock Android and I like that too.

When it comes to form factor and pride of ownership, there is only one winner though and I doubt many could argue with that one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] derWolf_:
1) Honestly I can't think of a single bad thing about the TouchWiz on the S7 Edge. Works just fine, My only serious complain is that dark themes don't theme some parts of the overall UI (such as the battery graph, and set alarms) and therefore are left white and looks... unfinished. In terms of performance no issues whatsoever.

2) There is difference yes, the Exynos being the better option. People have reported better user experience, as well as better battery life on the Exynos version. However don't expect much development for the version with Samsung's cpu.

4) The S7 is a few months old, way too early to talk about S8. It is a really good phone, probably the best I've had and I've had my fair and square experience with smartphones. The battery life for me alone is better than anything I've tried, maybe only for the 6S Plus. Overall 4+ hours SoT on heavy day.

The HTC is a good phone, but I personally believe the S7 edge is the better option here. The M10 is not worth the askes price.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TarekElsakka:
Thank you for your replies, gentleman. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I got caught up in other things and for some reason I did not receive email notifications of your replies even though I have subscribed to the thread.

I believe I'm going for the S7 Edge today since I'm off work. I would like to know how to tell between a Snapdragon or Exynos processor? Is it perhaps written on the box itself?

And your posts seem to be conflicting since drummerman says the Exynos processor is better for development while derWolf says otherwise. Which one is it? Did I misunderstand your posts, perhaps?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fast69mopar:
The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge with the Exynos processor is the best in my opinion. The Galaxy S7 with the Exynos processor is the SM-G930F and the S7 Edge is the SM-G935F. The "F" is the designation for the Global model with an unlocked bootloader and can easily be rooted with CF Autoroot and Odin. TWRP is available for both variants of the S7 as well.

If you can open the box at the store and power up the device, go to Settings - About Device

You will see the model number.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pagi111:
Hello everyone!

I really hope I can find help here. I wanted to install Cyanogenmod 13 on my LG G2 D802 32GB. In the end I think I bricked my phone. I want to mention that I already searched for help on the Internet and tried many tutorials, but nothing helped.

First, I rooted my phone using this One click root method (before, I tried doing that other ways but it didn't work). So far, so good.

Then, I installed TWRP via Autorec. And here came the first problem. I booted into recovery mode and then the phone wouldn't start anymore. I started getting "Security error" along with Lg logo, when I wanted to turn on the phone. Actually I can't remember if I wiped everything in Recovery mode before or after getting this error, but I did anyway. Then I didn't get this security error message anymore, just stuck with lg logo.

Anyway I was still able to get into recovery or download mod, so I tried installing CM. But I couldn't acces my phone memory through PC and I didn't have CM installer zip on the phone. I tried copying CM installer into the phone using ADB push command. It did copy, it said it succesfully installed but since then every time I turn on my phone Lg logo just blinks for a fraction of a second and the phone will not turn on. The screen is black, but it remains "on" (there's nothing on it but you can see it's not totally turned off).

After that I tried every tutorial I could to install CM or stock ROM. I tried downloading different LG firmwares, including one found on a page where I had to enter my IMEI. But it's always the same problem: when I use LG Flashtool ( 1.0.54 ) it gets stuck. After clicking on System Upgrade I'm not asked about the language (as tutorials suggest), but it just opens LGMobile Support Tool, which says that my system is up to date.

OK, I think that's all I can say. So, the main problem is that I cannot use LG Flashtool, which is neccessary to install stock ROM in all the tutorials I have seen. Of course, I would like to install CM 13 still, but now th emost important thing is to get my phone to work again, even on stock system.

I hope we can solve this problem. Thank you all in advance! :)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pagi111:
Thanks a lot. I followed the instructions in the first post on the first site that you linked, using kdz file. Everything seemed to go well and I was already happy, but... It seemed that the stock flashed (on the computer it said that the installation was correct, on the phone the screen showed Update Software and it went to 100% percent), then the phone restarted and started updating apps for Android. And that is normal I suppose. But then, after it finished, it turned off, turned on and started installing those apps again. After that it turned off. When I wanted to turn it on, it showed me LG logo and then android logo for a fraction of a second. Then sometimes it would turn off completely and sometimes turn on again and show logos again. I assume that's what is called bootloop. So I followed the tutorial which said I should do factory hard reset. I entered the screen (power+vol down buttons), confirmed two times that I want to do the reset. It said the reset will start automatically, but nothing happened. The phone just turned off immediately and the same situation with logos (Bootlooping?) appears. So the problem now is that I cannot factory reset the phone.

OK, well, this is strange. The phone is working again, but actually I have no idea why :P I downloaded the tool from your link, installed it and ran. Then, following the yt tutorial, I went to the step where I was supposed to "look and remember the disk number that have so many partitions". I didn't anything there, though. And then, all of the sudden the phone started updating Android apps and then turned on as after factory reset. Weird, but it's working fine :)

By the way, can someone post a link to a tutorial on how to install Cyanogenmod 13 on LG G2 D802 32GB? I would still like to install it, but I want to avoid all the problems that I had now. So is there any good step by step tutorial that I could use to install CM?

Anyway, thanks all for help :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iubjaved:
Sure.

Download the rom from cyanogenmod website and put it on your phone memory.

Download Gapps from opengapps.org and place on the phone memory.

Go to recovery.

Make a full nandroid backup( all the partitions) , wipe all except internal storage.

Flash the rom along with the gaaps zip.

Reboot.
