[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
I bought it from some stand at Narita airport called Telecomsquare. I just shopped around the many stands until I found a package I liked and which worked. Oddly enough the shop specifically said they don't support HTC phones, because of bands I think, but I still went with it and it worked.

Yes if your device is originally U.S Unlocked then changing your cid and mid back to unlocked and flashing ruu will work. You may need to wipe your radios after flashing the ruu as well to get rid of any Verizon radio settings.

Mobile hotspot is probably the simplest option if you're willing to pay for it. No need to fiddle around activating a sim card in a foreign airport
[General Questions and Answers] nathan-96:
Hi everyone,

I used to use Link2SD to delete my system apps. That's not working in android 7. Is there still a way to uninstall them? I rather have chrome as an user app. Is there a way to uninstall them anyway?

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try Titanium backup, it can remove system apps or it can convert system/user apps.

ES File Explorer will also uninstall system apps or it can be used to move system apps from system partition to your data partition to make them user apps. For example, you could just move Chrome from /system/app to /data/app to make it a user app instead of a system app.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTNTLovers:
So, this is what happened, and I have no idea how to fix this, nor I am going to try something made for other devices unless it's my only choice.

I woke up one day after wanting to revive this phone, and I realise it's bricked, totally. No Charging animation, bootup, not even Fastboot Mode.

If I connect it to Windows just the way I do to activate Fastboot, I get a ton of drives on the main computer folder, which all need formatting. (http://imgur.com/hoxrbaw) Only one can be read, but it has quite some weird files. (http://imgur.com/fAHyaly).

The Device Manager shows me quite a weird driver, called QHSUSB_BULK (http://imgur.com/b9KPIVT).

I did re-flash the Factory ROM using the correct drivers, the correct ROM and Coolpad Download Assistant v1.86.

There is nothing else I know about...

http://imgur.com/a/D4QCo

Is there any way I can recover my phone?

Thanks,

I do, but I literally have no idea what an eMMC image is. I CAN provide you with everything else. To my understanding, there are actually no ROMs for this phone, which is disappointing.

It means a backup image made from the phone with a certain flash tool. If you make one, I need both the image AND the flash tool you used.

** This guide is depreciated, there is a new updated guide here**

If you are planning on using LineageOS 14 for this guide, you can bypass all of this except configuring location backends and battery optimization by heading to https://lineage.microg.org and downloading their ROM.

All download links as well as a link to a list of Open-Source applications to replace commonly used Play Store apps are in the third post.

*This will NOT work with MIUI Global, as the Play Store is already included in the ROM by default.*

I will be continuously updating this guide for everyone as I stumble upon more supported ROMs, more MicroG flashable zips, and other misc. edits. This is made with Android Marshmallow and Nougat in mind as it is all I have tested on, however this may work on older releases of Android with Xposed support or ROMs with Signature Spoofing. This has also only been personally tested on the XT1607 variant.

In order to sync calendars and contacts from your Google account, you must flash the Google Sync Addon by ale5000. If you want swipe gesture typing on the AOSP keyboard, you must flash Shadow53's swipelib.zip. Shadow53 also has a No-Gapps zip package that includes F-Droid, Firefox, and several other apps.

One final thing: This is not for everyone. There was a point in time I didn’t ever think I could go without the Play Store, but ever since I have I don't want to go back. There are numerous pros to switching to a Google-free android setup such as much better battery life, more privacy on your device, a world of open-source alternatives to popular applications, and more. If you have any questions, or if any of this seems daunting if you are newer to things of this nature, please do not hesitate to ask for help. I will try the best I can in my free time to help. Thank you for taking the time to read this, let’s go ahead and start.

*This first post is for ROMs without native Signature Spoofing support. A list of those with native spoofing can be found in the second post as well as the guide for ROMs that include native signature spoofing.*

What You'll Need:

Alrighty, let’s finally get into the steps.
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] fireball0093:
*This post is the steps for ROMs that natively support Signature Spoofing. There is a list at the bottom of this post of those that currently support it

What you will need:

Steps:

Moto G4 Play ROMs with Native Signature Spoofing

crDroid v3.8.1 - Android 7.1.2

ViperOS Coral - Android 7.1.2

TipsyOS - Android 7.1.2

AEX - Android 7.1.2

AICP (@ki's build) - Android 7.1.2

Glassrom Official - Android 7.1.2

MicroG Project has released an unofficial fork of LineageOS 14 that now includes signature spoofing and MicroG components. You will not need to follow anything in this guide except configuring location backends if you download their LineageOS build. There is no Play Store functionality added, although F-Droid (an open source app store) is included by default. You can add the Play Store with a zip that Shadow53 provided on their website (link in post below) More info can be found on their website
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] fireball0093:
Flashable Packages and App Replacements

There are several different MicroG flashable zip files to choose from. ale5000 has one that includes MicroG, several location backends, and the Play Store. Shadow53 has MicroG and several other zip files such as an F-Droid package, the Swipe Libs for gesture typing on the AOSP keyboard, and several more.

Downloads:

MicroG Unofficial Installer - ale5000

Shadow53's Downloads for MicroG, F-Droid, and more

Now alternatives to apps you might commonly use such as Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, etc. can be a bit difficult to find at first. I stumbled upon a list that a user by the name of Datenschutz has compiled on GitHub that has a good collection of alternative open-source applications. Also, you can alternatively download APK files of certain apps such as Netflix, Messenger Lite, etc. if you don't find a suitable replacement.

Some open-source apps that are found on F-Droid I use daily are:

Flym - RSS Reader

QK SMS - SMS App

Twidere - Twitter Client

Toffeed - Facebook web-client

Newpipe - YouTube player

K9 Material - Mail app

ApkTrack - Checks for updates on APKs installed
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ale5000:
Hi,

a Google account isn't required for Google Cloud Messaging (but it is required for many other things).

Also the official Play Store and contact / calendar sync apk work with microG (if needed).

I have created some tools to help setup microG (they are in my signature).
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] fireball0093:
I will definitely take a look into this, thank you! Any success on Nougat at all?
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ale5000:
I'm using microG on Nougat and KitKat, and I can say that it works perfectly (but I patch the framework for signature spoofing instead of using Xposed).
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] n76:
Moto G4 Play (Harpia XT1607) specific so I guess I am not too far off topic: Is there a Nougat ROM available that has signature spoofing built it?

Given my bad experience with Xposed on my old Galaxy Nexus, I really only want to use a ROM with signature spoofing built it. If I have to compile it myself that would be okay but it would be nicer to have a ROM with built-in support. And since I don't think Xposed runs on Nougat yet, that is not an option anyway.

For my old Galaxy Nexus I've been using the Unlegacy project, compiling my own ROM with the signature patches built it. But although I've see "official" Nougat ROMs announced for the G4 Play (LineageOS, AOKP, AOSxP, etc.) either I can't find a link to the correct source code/manifest files or, as in the case of LineageOS I can't get it to compile (complains of missing component(s) even though I've used the provided scripts to pull what should be all the needed items from my phone).

I really want to get back to the non-Google experience I have on my Galaxy Nexus using microG. Thanks for any help!
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] fireball0093:

[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] n76:
Nice find, thank you!

Looking at the crDroid source code repository at https://github.com/crdroidandroid it does look like the patch for signature faking is in there. (We should probably have the page at https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Signature-Spoofing updated to include crDroid).

But I am a bit leary about trying the ROM linked to at https://xdaforums.com/g4-play/development/rom-crdroid-v1-6-t3525141 as, despite the title of the XDA thread, it does not seem to be an official build. It looks like the official builds for the project are at https://androidfilehost.com/?w=devices&uid=23991606952610065 and are all built by "crdroidandroid" and there is no Moto G4 Play build there. The "[ROM][OFFICIAL][7.1.1] crDroid v2.1" links to a ROM built by SubhrajyotiSen on a different page so I am a bit hesitant to install it.

But this is interesting enough that I will try to build the ROM myself using the official sources from the crDroid project and see what happens.
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] gueschmid:
it may be an inofficial Build, but it is mentioned on the G+ - Page of crDroid!

[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] fireball0093:
I went and installed crDroid here on the forums and also flashed the MicroG installer after flashing crDroid. I can confirm that signature spoofing is available and works. Under Settings, you just have to go to crDroid Settings, scroll down to Miscellaneous, and toggle Allow signature spoofing. Then go into the Self Check section in MicroG and tap "System grants signature spoofing permission" and allow MicroG to have that permission, and then the only thing you have to do to is configure the pre-installed location backends and you're good to go. I'll edit the second post and this thread to include this find, thank you [MENTION=5258017]gueschmid[/MENTION]

*Edit*

Actually, would people prefer me to edit this guide and leave it up as a Marshmallow-only guide and then create a second one for Nougat with our device? Just to keep it a bit clean

I don't have a carrier that uses VoLTE, but I took a look in the Changelog on some posts and it seems to have support for it on crDroid
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] fireball0093:
Updated the guide to include crDroid in the second post. I have been messing around with Tingle in my spare time but I cannot fully grasp the concept as I don't have much experience using tools like that. If I do succeed in the future, I'll edit that in as well.

[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] jasonmerc:
It looks to me like you wrote the guide for Lineage 14. Will this also work with other Lineage or AOSP based ROMs?

I can imagine taking normal gapps away from a ROM would speed up boot times and performance and such too. As a sort of off-topic thing, which ROM would you recommend I do this to for the best performance?
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] fireball0093:
Well it's for any AOSP/Lineage-based ROM that has Xposed support regardless of the device, and I've tested it on KitKat on my older Moto G, Lollipop, MM, and Nougat using Xposed if the ROM doesn't have native Signature Spoofing. Speed is definitely improved especially on older devices too, along with battery life improvements. I'd say as for a ROM, it comes down to preference to be honest. ViperOS and Resurrection Remix are solid options when paired with [MENTION=5817781]facuarmo[/MENTION]'s SomeFeak kernel. crDroid also is a great one for using MicroG since you can sidestep Xposed altogether, and once crDroid Oreo is out of the alpha and beta stages for our phone I'll update the guide as well. It will be the first Oreo ROM on our phone that can use MicroG without Xposed being needed :p
