[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Pilovali:
Hi guys,

I'm currently owning a Moto G3 (1 GB RAM, 8 GB storage) and I'm planning to upgrade to a Moto G5 (3 GB RAM, 16 GB storage).

I would like to know how the camera, battery and overall performance of the G5 compares to the G3.

Are there any reviews up here on XDA?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] onryo:
The Moto G5 is a really nice phone. Gorilla glass, Alu case etc. There is just one big fat huge problem. There are a few big bugs and for w/e reason Lenovo has not pushed even one little patch/fix to us in the EU.

The video is unusable since the audio is really distorted. Here is an example and Lenovo's response.

Before Motorola was bought by Lenovo things were very different. Phones were updated and patched almost instantly.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Pilovali:
Thanks for your opinion. I'll wait until Lenovo patched the issue. Having a great phone with garbled audio isn't really nice :(

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] tyuuoy:
I've got an update to Android 7 and also EMUI 5 on my P9 Lite.

My notification panel has a black background.

But on the Internet I saw pictures of notification panel on EMUI 5 and it has blurred background

Also when I wanted to use theme, which had a white notification panel on the screens, after applying theme my notification panel stays black

Is it normal?

You have to have root. Use any root browser,go to /system/emui/lite/prop/local.prop and there set ro.build.hw_emui_lite.enable to false
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] tyuuoy:

I don't understand, why Huawei use a blurried background on other models of their smartphones, but on Huawei P9 Lite they decided to leave a black background
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] sirjohnrl:
Probably because its lite,a lot of options are disabled in build.prop and local.prop such as draw to wake,double tap to wake etc.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
Hey all, I'd like to start by thanking the developers who made CM on the Fire possible. I flashed it over (what I believe was) 5.1.2 a long time ago to my sister's device, and she hasn't had any issues with it from what I can tell. :)

I noticed that the Fire Nexus ROM is the only ROM that's being maintained at the moment (for very good reasons, given CM's demise). I had a couple questions about the stability of that latest build, particularly because I intend on dirty flashing it over the CM build from last November. (I just did some research while writing this, and it appears that such a dirty flash is pretty safe, provided backups are made and /system, /cache, and the dalvik/ART cache are all cleared.)

1) I read in the Fire Nexus thread that the ROM itself is pretty barebones (no camera app or file manager, for example), aside from the AOSP experience and the integrated nano gapps. Would I be able to flash a recent 5.1 opengapps stock package with a heavily customized .gapps-config to remedy this without (too many) storage issues on /system? I'm using link2sd with a 64GB card, so space isn't as big of an issue, but I'd like to make sure the gapps that she would actually need (like Play Games) are as up-to-date as possible. :)

2) I realize that this may be a matter of personal opinion, but how stable is Fire Nexus when compared against CM? I'd like to make sure that if I flash it, there won't be too many issues that crop up as she uses the device. Also, are there any outstanding bugs or known issues that might be a deal breaker for use as a daily driver?

3) Will the links made by link2sd be broken when flashing the ROM? If so, how would I go about restoring those links while flashing via FlashFire?

I apologize for sounding like a noob, despite previous flashing experience. (I've flashed at least two other devices, one of which is an older Kindle Fire HD, and they both happily run custom ROMS to this very day. ;))
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
- short/concise posts are better (almost tl;dr ...)

- Fire Nexus is very stable; no "deal breaker" issues

- dirty flashing from CM to Nexus is fine (applies to this device)

- recommend NOT using customize GAaps package during initial flash

- once Nexus is up and running can return to FlashFire to update GAaps

- Symlinks will likely be severed; Link2SD can restore them
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
Sorry about the incredibly long post. I wasn't sure how much explanation was needed for context, so I figured the more, the merrier. Thanks for the prompt reply as well. I'll FlashFire Nexus to the device at some point this week. (bad joke, I know, but I couldn't help myself... :D)

Thanks again!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazanster:
I've been experiencing a weird issue since I installed DU on my 6p; a lot of apps crash when I try to open them until I use Magisk Hide on them. Not just user apps, I couldn't even connect to my JBL speakers via bluethoot until I hided root to my bluethoot-share system application. I can't get chrome (or anyhting related to it, like the in-app browser of Facebook) to work, and i've tried a lot of versions of Chrome and even Opera; the only thing I could get working it's Firefox. I can't even change my wallpaper (my launcher crashes).

On the other hand, apps that support root, like amaze file manager, work smoothly even without being granted root permission.

I'm a noob, so i have no idea what's causing the problem, but i'll try my best to give you my setup in case you can help me.

- I'm using official Dirty Unicorns ROM v11.3 (7.1.2) with the correspondent stock kernel (unicornblood)

- I'm rooted by chainfire's SuperSU v2.79

I don't know if the mods i've installed have anything to do, but i'll share them just in case

I installed these audio mods:

- Hi-Performance DAC Enabler:

- aptX™ HD Enabler

- AINUR Pandora

This other thermal mod: CTTmod

And I'm using Magisk v12.0

Thank you very much in advance :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I don't think you can use Magisk and SuperSu at the same time because Magisk includes its own root app, PhilsSu. You are basically using two different root apps at the same time. You can try uninstalling SuperSu or Magisk but you might be better off doing a clean flash of DU, Gapps then either SuperSu or Magisk but not both.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazanster:
When I tried to install magisk without SuperSU it asked me to root my device first and aborted installation :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I've never used Magisk but I thought PhilsSu was part of it. I suppose you can download PhilsSu separately and flash it before Magisk but I know that's the rooting app that works with Magisk, not SuperSu.

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I read that you can uninstall SuperSu using the Play Store app then choose to root with PhilsSu within Magisk if you have both installed at the same time.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
Magisk v12 is its own root solution. It doesn't use SuperSU & it doesn't use PHH superuser either. It's its own thing now. Magisk Hide does not hide SuperSU, only its own root. So if you're using Magisk Manager to hide apps while SuperSU is installed, it's literally doing nothing. Your root is not hidden and you should be able to confirm this using a root checker app. I guess it's possible that having both is causing your issues, but I follow the Magisk general support thread and never see issues that severe. I'd guess it's a stability issue on your ROM.

If you want to use Magisk Hide correctly, you need to get rid of SuperSU. Select the full unroot option from the settings. Hop on over to osm0sis thread here and grab and flash the unsu.zip he has over there. Then flash your ROMs boot.img again (unless it's rooted). That'll completely wipe SuperSU and let you use Magisk.

So basically (stock phone > unlock bootloader > install TWRP > flash Magisk v12) and now you're rooted. No SuperSU / anything else is involved. V12 literally roots you and you need to clean up SuperSU to use it properly.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazanster:
Thank you very much, that clarifies a lot for me and it did the trick, i clean flashed DU and rooted with Magisk v12, everything's perfect now:good:
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bccsergio:
Hi there guys.

I have a very strange problem. Galaxy A5 SM-A500M. By placing ROM 5.0.2 (A500MUBU1BPB2) through ODIN, the device works normally. ROMs 6.0.1 install, but the device does not go for the first boot, it hangs in the initial screen written "Samsung GALAXY A5". All tested ROMs were installed using Odin3 v3.11.1 and Odin3 v3.12.3, all downloaded from SamMobile site at:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a5/SM-A500M/ZTO/

I tried to install several times. I tested the 4 Android 6.0.1 ROMs available, with the same error occurring in all of them, hanging on the home screen before the first boot.

I did all the wipes before and after all the installations, in all possible combinations... (only before, only after, before and after, etc.) I exhausted all the alternatives...

When I install ROM 5.0.2 with ODIN, the installation simply flows normally and the phone works normally.

I'm almost throwing away the device because I do not intend to continue using Android 5 when we are already going to version 7.

Has anyone had a similar problem and can point me out to some path that can solve this?

Thanks in advance for any light to this strange behavior!!!

How can i change this? Where is such setting stored?

I tried two different dialers and the behavior is same.

Tried some custom roms, solved this issue but all have too much battery drain, maybe because roms are made for n910c/h

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Aeosgames:
Just gave it a go, and the app seems to make it though Step 1/3 but it gets stuck on Step 2 so I'm assuming it doesn't work.

Edit: It removed the ads from showing up using Macrodroid. However there is a consistent Macrodroid notification.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zoocircle:
I did this a week ago, it's been working well. Macrodroid had an option to disable their logo too. Go into Macrodroid, settings, Notification Bar options, Force Hide Icon.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Aeosgames:
The problem with that is that it shows full screen ads without the notification there and you can't clear those.. So I have to keep the Macrodroid notification consistent
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zoocircle:
Oh ya, you're correct. I forgot about that because I've had my Weather app always have a notification on the lock screen.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Aeosgames:
Update: When messing around the Macros I found a way that you can hide the persistent Macrodroid notification along with Amazon Ads.

Videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCUhxGFJ8g0

So basically I added another 'Clear Notification' to MacroDroid in Macro 1,

and in Macro 2, I checked the override Macro creation box.

After that I went to MacroDroid Notification settings and checked to Force Hide the notification.

So basically now when I turn off the phone screen, I wait a few seconds and if I peek at the current running notifications using the Moto "Glance screen", you will see the MacroDroid notification, but as soon as I power on the screen, the MacroDroid notification as well as the Amazon AD dissapears and I am left with my background.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] UltraMaks:
Anyone can explain why do I have such a lag after switching the phone on? Seems like it leaves some locking screen/widget/program (you can see that it shows time if you scroll down notification bar) and disappears only in several settings
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mike_san:
Anyone tried of these methods to boot into recovery without unlocking bootloader? like fastboot boot recovery.img?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] liquidops:
Alternative solutions?

I used Tasker with Notification Listener and achieved the same result. Sometimes, there is a lag so the ad may appear but it's gone before unlocking. Also, the persistent notification from Tasker removes the need to create a fake notification to prevent full-screen ads.

On a related note, has anyone tried using ADB commands to disable/remove the Amazon Offers app? I want to try it but don't know the necessary commands.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Aeosgames:
No haven't tried ADB or recovery. But if someone wants to try it go for it and please come back with results.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] UltraMaks:
1. Can you share your details of how you set your Tasker to remove ads? I use Macrodorid but as i stated earlier sometimes it takes seconds to unlock that is totally inconvenient

2. do you mean this?

adb shell pm hide com.amazon.phoenix

Unfortunately this does not work ((

Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.MANAGE_USERS.

but of course you can try it yourself...

BTW, there is one more solution for removing ads. If anyone can check - that would be good :)
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] liquidops:
1) To get Tasker to work correctly, I downloaded Notification Listener from here. Once both are installed, in Tasker under the Profile tab, I created an event that gets triggered when the display is on. The task that gets linked to this profile will launch the Notification Listener plugin. Then, I configured the listener to clear notifications based on the app name Amazon Offers (case sensitive).

2) Thanks for trying. It looks like we can't run this command without root.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] UltraMaks:
1. Have you tried Macrodroid? Just wonder about comparison between Tasker and Macrodroid

2. Well if we have root, we would just delete Amazon Offers from the phone and that's it. This adb solution was meant to hide even without root, and id did work for G4 phones. Initially :) But then it seems to me they have closed this possibility with some update. And also for G5 phones from the very beginning

When I was thinking about possible solutions one idea came to my mind. What if we try to flash Amazon phones with stock Moto G5 firmware? Will it give any error (because of locked bootloader and probably different hashes of the Amazon and Stock Moto firmwares)? Any thoughts?

Best buy didn't let me price match the Amazon ad variant because they said that variant isn't eligible compared with their variant. And using NotiEDA combined with Macrodroid seemed to go the trick.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ItachiLvrX:
Sooooo theres a permanent way to get rid of them and not have to use an app for it. I just found it on the Moto G subreddit.

I literally just did it. It DID get rid of all the amazon ads, which is less running in the background too!!

I'm using the 64gb Moto G5 plus amazon variant. It also gets rid of the need for a second finger print for the lock screen. You don't need to do it twice to get to the home screen anymore, just once like a non ad version!!!!

My Hats Off to All Of You Who Hack, Play, or Make Mods for the Phones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
Boot image not matching firmware on your phone can cause wifi to not work. The kernel doesn't have the what it needs to work with the radio you have installed. It is a fairly typical stock rom problem. Custom roms typically have broader support instead of being targeted at a specific firmware.

First step is to figure out what exactly you have on your phone now. Need to know bootloader, modem, and boot image versions since this phone is finicky. Hard bricks are possible, so don't do anything hasty. There's an app in the Play store called phone info samsung by vndnguyen that helps with that. Install it and see what it says you have for bootloader and modem/baseband. Also check in Settings -> About and see what kernel version you have (the app might tell you that too, it has been a long time). Report that all back here and it will help with how to fix it.

Alternately if you don't want to mess with the app enter this in a terminal app or adb shell:

getprop ro.bootloader
getprop gsm.version.baseband

You won't find an Odin package for lollipop. Samsung never updated this device past kitkat. Anything lollipop or newer would be a custom rom, and those are all custom recovery flashable zips, not Odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 123robh:
Thank You

jason2678 what you said makes perfect sense to me. like needing a VIN # for a 2002 Toyota to figure out what water pump or alternator because they used 6 different versions of each, LOL

so i would like to use 5.1 lollipop which is a custom ROM i believe, if you can suggest one i will defer to your judgement

but as a fallback suggest a kitkat ROM as well

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
At NJ1 you're not on the latest bootloader and modem, but you're close enough. And your bootloader and modem match. I wouldn't mess with it. You'll be able to run all the latest custom ROMs on that, no problem.

If you want lollipop, look around the development section here. I'm not sure if you'll be able to track down a lollipop rom download linked to XDA. You might have to poke around old uploads for d2att on androidfilehost.com for 5.1.1 roms. I'm pretty partial to slimkat stable 9 on this phone, and it runs fine on NJ1 firmware too.

Oct-Os is probably the most actively supported rom currently. They've moved on to nougat these days. You'll be able to run it on NJ1 too. You might want to give it a shot.

Track down a rom and matching gapps. Then full wipe and flash them with TWRP recovery. If you run into any trouble or have any questions, just ask. I'm pretty certain once you get a custom rom on your phone your wifi problems will go away. Stick to lollipop, marshmallow, or nougat and you'll be fine. Even newer KitKat ROMs will be OK on NJ1.
