Screen rotation issues.

Hello,

I'm new with ROM flashing.

After a bit reading and some trial and error I updated my S4 mini i9195 LTE from android 4.4.2 to this XenonHD 6.0.1

This because Samsung itself didn't gave me any updates anymore.

Also installed GApps... I think.

After that I had some issues. Cleared data and after that it worked.

I can install apps from play.

Also had some issues with 4G Internet. Didn't work

Sollution was changing Apn settings to custom provider (smartsites.t-mobile)

But there's another problem and can't figure it out.

My screen rotation doesn't work like it should.

When I reboot on portrait setting

After reboot I put it on rotation. Then it works for a few minutes but after that it stops until the next reboot.

In all settings it is on screen rotation. So also the home screen.

Downloaded an accelerate calibration app.

Don't see issues here and works fine.

Didn't have this issues on 4.4.2 and did not bounce my phone recently.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Other question.

Are there any updates?

Can't update from my phone update.

It looks quite old to me. Also the security updates from almost 1 year ago..

XenonHD 7-12-16

Security patch July 5th 2016

Otherwise I will search for another better ROM.

Best regards Dennis
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Diresh:
Try lineage os or aokp , they are both updated frequently and are fast and stable.

Edit: try the xenonhd nougat ROM , which is very nice IMO
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] TurboCinqy:
Hi,

Installed Lineage OS.

Rotating screen is solved.

Mobile Internet worked automatic properly.

But have some issues with Google dialer.

Didn't see any outgoing or incomming calls.

Incomming the screen stays black and only could pickup / hangup by hardware buttons.

After disabling the app and restarted it it did work.

Also after phone reboot.

Don't know how long it will works. So far so good.

It's an known issue but not much work arounds.

We'll see.

Oh btw I'm talking about Nougat 7.1.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] xda23:
Did the s6 ever get cm 13 romantic? If it did does anyone have a download link. Thanks
[Blu Vivo 5] Albertsonz:
To add a bit of context, I dropped my phone into a dry sink while using it at faucet level. The height was around 4 inches and the LCD screen and digitizer broke. Not quite sure if the digitizer is broken but touch inputs are only received on certain regions of the screen (a statement on part quality?). The front glass panel is unscathed if that helps. So how would I go about disassembling and replacing an LCD display and digitizer on this phone? Also, where could I buy these parts?
[Blu Vivo 5] Chiclez:
You can go to a repair center to fix it.

And... You can buy the screen in Aliexpress just out "gionee s6" in the search bar and down the list. I don't know if you cand find digitizwr too.

Btw sorry my bad English.
[Blu Vivo 5] Albertsonz:
Thanks

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

Hey Guys as soon as i heard that Amazon was offering a device with ads for a lower price to amazon prime member i was pumped and ready to remove those ads as soon as i got the device in hand.

well Amazon has made it really easy for us in many ways.

You can just flash one file that i have put together to remove the ads and all of the amazon apps in one shot.

Requirements

Moto G 4th gen tested on the XT1625 and XT1644

Motorola Drivers installed

Motorola program RSDlite 6.2.4 or you can use this RSD-Flash Script for Mac or Linux

The Files and remove-amazon-bloat.xml file i created HERE

Steps

1. Boot device into bootloader / fastboot mode by powering down then holding volume down and power until it boots

2. Open RSDlite 6.2.4 and select the remove-amazon-bloat.xml

3. press START and wait for device to reboot thats it once rebooted your amazon apps and lock screen ads are gone.

NOTE If you are having problems with RSDlite and windows 10 use this XT1625-Amazon-Bloat-Ads-Remover-Without-RSDLITE

Also works on Mac and Linux now.

Extra Credit

If you have already unlocked your bootloader on your Moto G 4th gen you can do this same process with one simple command from fastboot mode.

fastboot flash oem oem.img

Rootjunky out

RSDLITE ON WINDOWS 10 NOT WORKING TRY THIS

If you want Amazon Underground apps back check HERE

Here is another method to remove ads and keep your ota updates working
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] crutchcorn:
Noticed that even though you're flashing the OEM image, it still shows as an Amazon device. Can you update from the OEM image?
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tomsgt:
This will stop the Amazon OTA Updates from working. Time will tell if this will make it receive Motorola OTA Updates or not.

if you want to restore your device back to Amazon bloat you can use my XT1625-Restore-Amazon-Bloat-Ads tool but you will need a unlocked bootloader. This script will flash the Amazon oem.img but it will look like it fails so just reboot the device and you will see all the amazon junky and ads are back. Then you can take the ota update or adb sideload it in stock recovery.

AMAZON OTA UPDATE CAN BE FOUND HERE

NOTE If you flashed the full stock Motorola Firmware with RSD lite you can use this Amazon oem.img to get your device back to amazon ota update path as well it works the same way.

once you take the ota update you can always flash the XT1625-Amazon-Bloat-Ads-Remover-Without-RSDLITE and have the ads and amazon stuff removed again or even better you can flash XT1625-Remove-oem-config-fully and get ride of all configuration on the device. this removes the consumer cell and other dum bloat. :)

View attachment 3813821View attachment 3813822

Here is another way to update to the new ota update on this device. download the stock firmware then just flash the servicefile.xml in rsd lite or use RSD-Flash Tool for mac or linux and you will update your device and not wipe data.

NOTE

If you left your bootloader locked and flashed XT1625-Amazon-Bloat-Ads-Remover or XT1625-Amazon-Bloat-Ads-Remover-Without-RSDLITE to your device it may no receive OTA updates from amazon any more and or they may fail to install. If this is the case you can always flash the stock firmware that i will be updating from HERE. If you use the servicefile.xml it will be just like you took the ota update and none of your data will get wipe, you will keep all your apps and data safe. also the ads should stay removed
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] crutchcorn:
Kinda what I thought. Thanks boss, you're the man!
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] xtermmin:
Wonder if flashing the full XT1625-XT1644_ATHENE-RETUS_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip would get you out of the Amazon Software Channel.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rodalpho:
Right, but what we (or at least I) want is to get updates from Lenovo/Motorola, not Amazon. They're certainly likely to update faster, and Amazon updates may mess with the debloating.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tomsgt:
once the bootloader is unlocked you will for sure be able to flash the stock motorola firmware. but i think even with a locked bootloader you will be able to flash it. also you should use this firmware on the XT1625 HERE
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] atrix4nag:
Just want to makesure..

just running RSDlite program will unlock bootloader, and remove amazon crap?

or I need unlock bootloader first, then rung the RSDLite?
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] eriklee95:
RSDLite isn't recognizing the phone. Phone is displaying USB connected so it shouldn't be a driver issue.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Gnex1:
I flashed twrp and flahshed supersu 2.46. Afterwards I was stuck in a bootloop, and after formatting caches and system (stupid, I know), I no longer have an operating system. The device is the Moto G4 XT1625 (amazon prime edition). What options do I have to get a working OS back on my phone?
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tomsgt:
first try and flash the file in rsd lite like i do in the video. if it fails then you will need to unlock the bootloader first but i think it will work without unlocking the bootloader please report back with your findings thanks
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tomsgt:
is the phone in bootloader / fastboot mode like in the video
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tomsgt:
just download the stock google firmware from here and flash it in RSDlite to restore the device. or you can download the stock twrp backup i made of my system and restore it in twrp.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] tcozman:
It isn't recognizing my phone as connected either. If I check via fastboot (fastboot devices) I see my device is connected. However RSD isn't seeing it at all.

Is there a way to just flash the stock Moto g gen 4 image? If so, how?
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tomsgt:
you could fastboot flash the oem.img if the bootloader is unlocked

fastboot flash oem oem.img
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Gnex1:
I'm trying this right now, I'll let you know how it goes once it's finished!

EDIT: It brought the phone back to life and NO ADS!!! I'll update again if I run into any issues. Thank you once more for the assistance.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] tcozman:
That worked! Thank you so much! No more Amazon bloat!
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Gnex1:
I had this issue as well in Windows 10, however RSDLite recognized it fine on my windows 7 PC.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tomsgt:
glad i could help. can anyone please report and tell me it this RSD lite flash works on moto G 4th gen with locked bootloader please. it should but would love to have some reports on it
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] markazali:
Sorry for the noob questions...

So I used ATHENE_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml with RSD and things look great. My software channel is AMZ though... can I fix this?

Was the issue not running RSD with the bootloader unlocked?
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
Guys, Amazon is offering an Instant $50 rebate on the retail 16GB version of the G4. That's right, it's the same price as the Prime exclusive version as of right now, 149.99, I just ordered it for a grand total of $162.93 after tax (even free shipping for non-Prime members.) If you can afford to order one while you return your Amazon version, you should. Can't garuntee how long that'll last.

EDIT: Also added the 32GB to my cart, same rebate. Maybe they got a lot of complaints?
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Ultim8gamr:
I would also be curious by what means amazon removes the ads when you pay the $50 to have them removed. Does it flash a new image or run a verification with the ads app that will see if you've paid?.

After a few emails back and forth with Amazon in which I had to show the moto bootloader page stating to contact Amazon I was told the following
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Morutimeru:
Except for the hassle that could be shipping it to Amazon and then wait for the ad-less version to arrive. Also, it could be worse if that's your only phone (it's my case).
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
I got the same exact response. There's now an instant rebate on the retail versions on Amazon bringing their prices down to the same price as the Prime exclusive. Perhaps it's a coincidence, or perhaps they're listening?
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Ultim8gamr:
Order the ad-less phone now then when it arrives ship the ad version back. The phone just came out so I'm sure everyone is well within the 30 days if they have to ship anything back.

Can anyone confirm that non-ad versions are still able to unlock the bootloader via the moto site? I'm about to hop on the standard version while the discount is still good
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Caltinpla:
Last Tuesday (PrimeDay), it was $149.99 - $25 Motorola promo, so I paid $124.99 plus tax about $133.75 total.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lllGurulll:
I'm betting that the phones are still on the Amazon software channel. All the probably did was remove the ads from them. Most likely they are the same phones we have now.

If you go to your Kindle devices page you can actually pay $50 to remove the ads from your phone now. Obviously they are getting a lot of pushback on these phones.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
Caltinpla, can you confirm if that version is still on the Amazon software channel, or if it is an unmodified Motorola version of the G4?
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lllGurulll:
so its still amazon
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tomsgt:
you had the ads removed remotely by amazon is that right?
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Caltinpla:
yeah, but my bootloader is unlocked and my phone is rooted so it does not really matter because i can flash the Moto G4 stock firmware or any other custom roms if i want to.

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

No, i used your tools to remove the ads then i unlocked the bootloader and rooted it
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
I'm buying it anyways since it is actually cheaper than the other source I got my ad-full version from... Is there any way you could do me a huge favor and submit your IEMI to Motorola's website again to see if it is now rejected? It's possible (though highly unlikely) that the version we bought could be a different model with the Amazon software channel put on it.

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

Wait a second, did you buy the Prime exclusive version? I'm talking about Amazon's "Original Non-Ad" version.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] xtermmin:
If you try to pre-root, the file will lose its Motorola signature, and the phone will refuse to flash a file not signed by Motorola.

Not exactly. Only AT&T, most Verizon, and (as of now) the Amazon Ad G4 do not qualify for BL unlock. However, subsidized devices from other carriers such as Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and smaller LRA carriers, do qualify.

I got my G4 for $125+tax, but yeah, if I was to order one now, I'd pay the extra $25 to get the factory-direct model and not deal with Amazon at all.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
ELI5 thenhow other phones with locked bootloaders then can get pre-rooted ROMs? Just curious.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] xtermmin:
Which phone? If it's an older phone, maybe the signature was cracked or there was no check to begin with. Motorola must have extra security in place, because even last year's Verizon Moto E2, which was super popular due to it being only $10 on Black Friday, and still pretty cheap at $40 normally, has yet to have full, stable, permanent root. If it was easy as pre-rooting a stock image, it would have been done by now (been out for a year and a half).
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
Nvm, I did some research, Xperia phones just have less security. I'm just annoyed that they did unlocks for a week and then poof, no more.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Caltinpla:
Yeah, i bought the Prime exclusive version with ads...sorry for the misunderstanding!
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
Maybe there's still hope! Doubt it, but I'll take the dive.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] granny smith:
I did the remove Amazon ads thing, but hadn't yet unlocked the bootloader. Will I not get any OTA updates and not be able to flash the updates? Am I completely screwed?

I may return it for the unlocked version that has the $50 rebate, but I won't be able to restore the Amazon bloat. I have discovered that I can go through the Play store and reinstall most of the bloat, but the phone also has the Consumer Cellular and other apps that were flashed when I did the remove Amazon bloat.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tel864:
Yes quite a few of us have flashed the factory rom without unlocking. That's not a problem and never has been on any of the G phones. The problem that's been discussed many times here is that even after flashing, the phone is still on AMZ software channel and won't receive ota's directly from Motorola.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] runderekrun:
Thanks. I'll just order this one.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lllGurulll:
My question would be this then. Since removing ads broke the OTA its obviously not going to hurt me to put the factory rom on it BUT when motorola puts out updates will I be able to download those from an outside source as well to update my phone? Or will I be on this version for as long as I own the phone?

the other thing I'm curious about, I wonder if Amazon will refuse a return once they see the ads were removed. Don't really want to waste my time returning if they are just going to refuse it anyway.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
There's no way to really tell until Motorola releases an update. For OTA, it really depends on whether the phone actually thinks it's still on the Amazon software channel or not, and it's not really clear which one it thinks it is. At the very least, you'll be able to update to future versions using the same flash method. It may be slightly annoying, but will work.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Well, they've officially updated their support page.

Notice how it specifically says for the Prime Exclusive version though, so here's hoping it will work with the "Standard" G4 I purchased.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lllGurulll:
According to that chart, they also are not available for the motorola version either. All they address in the unlock box is Amazon Prime but no link for unlocking the stock device either.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
That doesn't mean you can't unlock it. You can proceed to the page where you enter your unlock string regardless if there's a link or not for your device. And, if there's one thing I'm certain about, there's not one unbranded, retail version of a Moto smart phone I know of released in the past ~3 years a Moto G,E, or X device that doesn't have the ability to unlock. The question is whether the one I purchased qualifies as retail or not, we shall see.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tel864:
It's a no brainer for me on OTA's. It's been my experience with the G2 and the G3 that OTA's are iffy at best. There have been more than a few Moto's that have been bricked while flashing an OTA. I avoid them at all cost and will never flash an OTA. I don't see how there would be any difference with the G4 so I'll take my chances with manually flashing roms that go on my phone. I've done dozens of flashes with no mishaps and for me that's what I plan on doing with the G4. Plus, when I flash a new rom I get to clean out the closet and start fresh with everything.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lllGurulll:
I was unable to use rsdlite to remove the ads and had to use the adb method. Is rsdlite the only way to flash the stock image from motorola? I'm used to using rooted devices but haven't used adb in a couple years. Just want to make sure I'm doing all the right things in the right order. If I am unable to use rsdlite, I'm assuming the phone is rendered non returnable.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
I believe you need an unlocked bootloader to restore the ads but not to remove them, so yes if you remove them you might not be able to return it. However, it appears you can install the Motorola stock firmware with a locked bootloader, if you so desire, but you most definitely need rsdlite for that.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lllGurulll:
Then I definitely need somebody to spell out how to install that stock firmware. As I said, I couldn't get rsdlite to remove the ads so I need to know step by step how to attempt to install the stock firmware. The OP kind of reads as if we should already know how to do this. I'm on Windows 10 and no longer have access to windows 7 machines at work or home.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LeifEricson:
I personally have not done it since my device has not arrived yet, so I can't give a step by step. But I agree, there should be maybe a separate tutorial thread for flashing stock for Windows 10 users. You could use a VM, worse comes to worse.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tel864:
As for the version of Windows, I've flashed numerous roms on my G2, G3, and once so far on the G4 and my Windows 10 64bit worked the same as it ever has.

Below is a link to a Youtube video that gives step by step directions in the video and below the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yiKhnFP2O0

Here is also a link to the factory roms that are available.

http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=DESC&show=25

Be aware that when you're downloading from File Factory on a free download, it's sometimes very slow, so do it on a pc or laptop because it may take an hour or so.

Also, the rom I used scanned clean. What Jessooca suggested will work also, I just prefer to make a .bat file with my commands in that and run it in a cmd window....habit I guess.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] drkdeath:
This method of manually flashing via fastboot works for me on Windows 10, just have to extract the stock firmware zip.

[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] acejavelin:
No... You can't flash or boot an unsigned image of any kind with a locked bootloader.

Changes in security in Lollipop and newer versions of Android has made rooting virtually impossible with a locked bootloader. Sorry.
[Moto G4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] yaconsult:
That's right. And you can't get a bootloader unlock key for an ad-supported phone like the amazon version. So you will never have root or be able to flash any but the amazon version of android on the phone.

For $50 more than the current price of the amazon version, you can return the amazon version and get the non-amazon version while it's on sale.
