[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarr3:
Hi,

after testing the "[ROM][MTC20F][GalaxyTab7.7|Plus][13Aug2016 OmniROM-6]" you find out that our GalaxyTab7.7 can cope with latest android developments when it comes to performance.

If it wasn't for the reoccuring reboots and crashes, I would say, it is perfect. And I really hate the tablet becoming a paper weight somewhere in the corner...

So what options do we have?

An outdated (insecure?) earlier android version? Are there any secure older versions available?

Tweak Marchmallow so that it doesn't reboot / crash regulary

To Tweak it we need to know what makes it reboot / crash. Is it because of low memory? Is it still some drivers having problems?

Please post ideas, how to find out what makes it reboot / crash. Is there any logs available?

[MENTION=5495967]p3dboard[/MENTION]: Do you have any memory tweaks we can try?

[MENTION=4948627]daniel_hk[/MENTION] : Thanks for getting our tablet this far!

Kind regards

Jarr3
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3dboard:
The best performing Rom's so far for memory / lack of low memory freezing, are the Android 4.4.4, Kitkat rom's, not that they are to totally bug free, eg there's the Charging screen bug where it automatically powers back on after about 5 minutes of charging.

I have just tried Android 7.0 cm14 on my Galaxy S2 rom, and its quite smooth. Our Galaxy Tab 7.7 has a larger screen resolution, and so a little less memory then the s2, but a similar CPU and Ram, and it seems to work quite well on 1Gb of RAM. Hopefully when Daniel makes the Android 7.0 rom's they might get us back to the same performance as the old Android 4.4.4 rom's.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maatje:
Any advice on best 4.4.4 rom? Omni 6 goes in slowmo mode to often for me. To bad no one is improving Omni6 or other roms for the tab 7.7 anymore.

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy express 3 And I'm having trouble saving gifs from Google onto my gallery.

I know this phone is capable of saving in gif format because when I get gifs off of imgur it works perfectly

It's just when I try to save them from Google to my galaxy ot won't work.

When I hold the file down I have the option to "save gif" I press it and it starts to download.

However all it shows is a frozen frame in my gallery and when I send the file it is just a photo.

I have no clue if this is a browser function that I can enable/disable (Google settings on my phone are limited)

Or if this is a problem with my device (again no option to modify in device settings)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Subhankar Dey:
The truth is that the build that is floating around is the official Android 7.0 Soak Test Build for India. Brazil has a different one. If you flash this update you will still get Android updates because The MD5 for this build is authentic. This will not void your warranty. If you by chance can't get OTA update in the future you will still be able to flash any Official ROM that Lenovo releases if you are not rooted. I updated my phone and it's great. If you want to wait for Lenovo to release the software to the masses, do wait. It is just a matter of time. But if you are excited to try it you can proceed without hesitation and fear.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] BeanUzumaki:
Lol..I already flashed the 7.0 :p

I've updated to this build of nougat. But my battery drains like hell... It's like 10% on standby just with LTE on in 1hr. I even did a factory reset and cache wipe from recovery. It's a fully clean ROM. Still battery is draining a lot.!!
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] cool_sid:
Guys if we don't get ota update coz we have side loaded the soak file then also we can ask people who have the update to capture it again. Then we can push it to right folder in phone n reboot phone. Then we will get update notification right?

Even if we don't get that too, then after the release of nougat, we can flash nougat stock firmware n we will again start getting updates right?

So there is no need to worry guys.... Just enjoy what u have...!:good:;)

Come on Matt! This is XDA! This is is what we love to do here. We help each other! Don't underestimate the XDA users. If we want to be in the official upgrade path, we know how to do it.

And yes, I know about upgraded bootloaders and using 'old' official software and then being able to hardbrick a phone while doing an official OTA!

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ==vj==:
I was estimating as for why someone didn't come up with feedback on battery backup after nougat update.

Yes, the backup feels quite less than stock mm. Maybe the final rollout be a stable one w.r.t backup.

Frankly nothing so very exciting in nougat. Battery graph is looking awkward. But the settings looks amazing with live details.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ssmcrak:
Yeah, you could brag about it that apart from the pixel and Nexus devices yours is the one with Nougat. But other than that, there's nothing much. I can see memory usage improvements and overall UI is smooth plus other sweets of nougat, but the primary consideration being power usage is a lot. Plus now I'm worried that I'll be getting the official OTA or not :confused:

"Internal storage and External Storage cannot be Mounted in Recovery Mode"

First of all thanks for posting the OTA update link! Just Updated my phone and i wanted to enable Google assistant without rooting my phone. So, i downloaded Google velvet, Prop.editor and tweak file zips to flash them, but the problem is G4 plus is not detecting internal and external storage in recovery mode :( :confused:
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
In theory: flash back your TWRP backup... But I guess you didn't make a backup!

Download the original MM rom. Use the fastboot steps to install it again.

Another theory: it refuses to flash back because it's a 'downgrade', which is, officially, not possible. In that case: install TWRP recovery, flash CM13 or any other MM rom, and use it. Otherwise, now you can flash stock MM rom again!

One little catch however: Nougat may have upgraded your bootloader. If you have downgraded your rom and try to do an OTA update again, it expects another bootloader.

On Moto G 2014 (which shipped with KitKat), downgrading to KitKat worked fine. But performing an OTA to Lollipop again, after that, resulted in a hardbrick! Just be warned!!

if i downgrade do i have to use fastboot method evrytime insted of otas?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
No, if you successfully downgrade to the official stock rom again, you should be able to use OTA's again. Only if an OTA updates the BOOTLOADER also, you can possibly run into problems if you downgrade to a build from before the bootloader upgrade. It is, as far as I know, impossible to downgrade a bootloader! But possibly this Nougat upgrade only updated the rom and not the bootloader.

But that's just a guess. I didn't try, nor check it, it on this device. It's just a warning. Be careful!

In your shoes, I'd stay on N, until a public official build is released. In that case there's always a way to install that!

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] kittuboy:
As soon as I got the news that the ZIP file was out, I downloaded it and now I'm running the updated version. Smooth as hell, and I'm still learning my way around the greatly improved UI.

Battery life is somewhat confusing though. If I use the phone continuously for a few minutes, battery drains surprisingly fast - much faster than it used to with 6.0.1. (Note: I had not rooted or otherwise tweaked the system in any way earlier!)

Anyway, I'm guessing it's just normal usage and some weird bias. It's too early to tell how good battery life is, but I have my fingers crossed.

Sorry for off-topic; I couldn't help asking - what's that app you're using for the weather displayed in the notification pulldown? I'd like to download it as well. Thanks!

I don't why many are having problems with the new ROM. For most of us including me the ROM is working fine. Android 7.0 is great. Minor bugs are there but they should not cause any problem. Battery optimization is working. Battery goes into Doze mode when not in use. UI is great. And if we by chance don't get official update anymore we will still be able to flash it through recovery. :)
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] freeman_g:
I can easily imagine the situatuon when we won't be able to flash any other OTA update over this one: OTA checks current build and it can be some test one that will prevent official OTA from installing. I do not insist on this scenario but such situatuon may occur.

Fastboot should work in this case and I hope that bootloader could be upgraded through fastboot after we receive final factory image.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] RishiHParmar:
I see many are confused whether to go for this approach or not.

Well let me help you to decide. This is a soak test build. It is as good as an official build but what defer are the source and channel from which it comes. I mean, if you were one of those who were chosen by Motorola to be a part of their soak testing, then you had nothing to worry. You could have expected timely OTA update to build for the masses. But in this case, there is a high probability that Motorola don't validate your device running this soak test build for the upcoming OTA updates.

Now that being said and clarified, if you have no idea what ADB or fastboot is or after reading this you just don't want to google terms I used, you are actually stepping into unknown territory. I strongly advice you wait for the official update.

PS This build is smooth. I find no battery issues. In fact my battery life is improved. I can play Pokemon go for around 4 hours non-stop in one full charge ;)

Apps do stop working at times, but I'm assuming it's because those apps are not properly tested to be run on Nougat.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] hoffm59:
I've read multiple posts about the battery life/drain here. But what is the majority?

Is it stable or draining compared to MM?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] freeman_g:
I won't call it drain. Something like MM, especially when you turn automatic brightness adjustment on
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] freeman_g:
It is interesting but I received different results in these cases:

1) Boot to Recovery - Mount /system - Apply update from SD card - get 'internal and external memory not found'

2) Boot to Recovery - Apply update from SD card (get an error) - Mount /system - Apply update from SD card - it works

So the secret is to try to Apply update from SD card (with error) before Mount /system

Bug obviously
