[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] crazyates:
Did you try just downloading Alexa from the Play Store?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] lopezpm:
Where did you buy the phone from? The Android one or Fi version will not have alexa working only google assistant.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] davea0288:
Adding the Alexa App does nothing to enable "Alexa Functionality" in the Moto X4. I did purchase vua Project Fi/Google. I was hoping that the embedded Alexa Functionality in the European Version of the Moto X4 could be enabled/ and used in the USA. I have no use for Google's voice assistants.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] souleman:
The Android One version announced that it would not come with the Moto Alexa or Moto Voice.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] bismuth:
I have a similar problem. I'd like to enable voice control for the native camera app. The Motorola website seems to indicate that the Moto App has a Voice controls section but mine does not. Google assistant will respond to voice commands to open the camera but will not "take a photo" or "take a selfie." Surprising that Project Fi seems to have disabled camera voice commands in their version.
[Asus Zenfone Max Questions & Answers] kamathln:
Hi,

I use a Asus Zenfone Max ZC550KL and found this app/activity using the "Activity Launcher" App. I can sort of guess what it does, but does anyone have a first hand experience, who exactly uses it? Where we can get the firmware, etc.?

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] auminazura:
LG pinned a number of good features on this smartphone, call it a dual camera support and equipped Quad-DAC capable of delivering high-quality audio quality. Another feature that is also pinned on this smartphone is a dual screen, the same as its predecessor LG V10.

Not only that, the LG V20 is also the first smartphone in the world that comes with the latest Android, Android 7.0 Nougat. For business specification, this smartphone is supported by Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB RAM.

So what is the performance of some of the features of this flagship smartphone? For those of you who are curious, here is a brief review of the mainstay features in the LG V20. Keep in mind, in this review I did not do a detailed discussion of smartphone performance. for full specs, I took the source on this site newssmartphone.com about this smartphone.

I can not apply external links on this site because I still a new member. :D:D

During use, I feel this smartphone is very comfortable to wear. Similarly, transitions between screens - including when used to play games - have no meaningful problems.

LG V20 also offers a number of video capture modes that can be arranged like a professional video camera. Quad-DAC audio features are said to promise high-quality sound output. By utilizing digital converter technology to be analog, the voice output of LG V20 is claimed to be better.

I do not put my photography here, which obviously this camera is perfect when we are on vacation :cowboy::cowboy:

After trying it, we feel that the claim is true. The sound quality produced by LG V20 internal speakers is more crisp, detailed, and round. The difference when the Quad-DAC feature is turned on and off is very pronounced.

When testing, I use the built-in earpiece from B & O Play. The result was spelled out spoil the ear. when used with headphones and other speakers, the resulting sound is also quite good.

You should try this cool smartphone :):)

What if I flash the "Signed flashable zips" on this thread via TWRP will it still delete the TWRP?

I normally flash Official Oxygen (full versions, no OTA updates) from TWRP and no issues at all...
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nouse1981:
flash rom, restart in recocery without restarting system, and flash magisk or superSU

that works for me.

Flash Oxygen (full) from recovery

Go Mount, then umount /system

Flash Magisk

Flash your preferred kernel if any (I recommend Lighting)

Reboot system

follows the link of Stock Moto X4 ROM with Android 7.1.1 and September patch.

Model: X4 (Payton)

Version: NPW26.83-34-0-1

https://rsdsecure-cloud.motorola.co...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] f3r.and0:
The linked page shows a error, will be better if you can upload the file.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mightysween:
Yeah, link is borked. But I may pull it anyway... will post here if I do.

Had my XT1900-1 (Project Fi) for about an hour before I got bored and the bootloader was unlocked.

Thinking of rooting just to debloat (don't get me started on how bloated the Android One build is)... seems like root will be pretty straightforward given that unlock is painless and partition access seems unrestricted. Haven't tried yet, but thinking that just perms and pushing su might do the trick. Would like to have the device for a couple days before I go that far. [edit: Actually, Magisk looks like a pretty good bet w/o custom recovery... may try that]

Then maybe, if I have time start gathering vendor stuff/blobs/etc and build... something.

Anyone else out there tinkering yet?
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ebrandsberg:
I heard that the reason for the bloat is due to a huge number of partitions that consume space. As such, debloating may not be as easy as you hoped...
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mightysween:
Just ran cat /proc/partitions.... dang, you are right

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

Looks like the OP file was a leaked Brazilian version of the firmware... wonder if the boot.img is the same as US ?

And also looks like Motorola may be giving each variant of the device its own device name... not sure if this will be good down the line, development-wise, or not:
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] saketkutta:
So is it because of project Treble that we have such large system partition. Using 13 GB is too much.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ebrandsberg:
Is this the partition scheme for Treble? If so, I'm fine with this personally, as it means they have thought ahead to help future-proof the phone (if there is such a thing).
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] crazyates:
I was seeing users in other threads saying it takes 16-18GB. That's just ridiculous. It should be half that, at most. My brand new install of OS X 10.13 High Sierra doesn't even take up that much space.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] saketkutta:
My custom OS on Nexus 5X took little more than 4 GB. Even if it was project treble (which is not confirmed yet BTW) it should not take more than 9 GB or 10 GB max. Mine out of the box it was 13 GB and something which is ridiculous)
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Iansip:
Where did you get the ROM from? Link above is dead?
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mightysween:
I don't think anyone got it here... I saw it bouncing around a couple Brazilian servers, but not open to download. Now that I look, it is the same Build # as the Project Fi version. So, hopefully it will turn up somewhere.

Seems the link in the OP is not dead, just goes to a secure server. It was originally posted on some G+ feeds, but no one has mirrored it yet, apparently

Actually, looks like that whole server is down right now. Every URL returns the same XML error. So maybe it will come back to life soon...
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mightysween:
Oh, look at that... Moto has either geo or ISP restrictions on their download! VPN Proxy through server in Los Angeles, and download is running (sloooooowwwly).

Will update tomorrow morning.

UPDATE: Download died at 1.1 GB and the VPN workaround is no longer working. Grrrrr. Could probably extract boot.img anyway, but with no way to check the hash and no images to fall back on, too risky to actually patch/flash it
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mightysween:
Got it... well, I have a completed download -- Obviously there is no way to verify the file since I have no MD5/SHA to check against. That said, the archive opens without errors, so I have boot.img now, just not enough stupidity to modify it and flash an unverified firmware back onto a brand new device. :)

Have a mirror uploading, will share when complete and maybe can get added to the OP.

I'd love to see a unlock/root method. Hope to see TWRP asap!
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mightysween:
Unlock is just a regular Motorola unlock... lot of threads on how that is done.

Root is a little more risky and complicated to explain here. The first thing we all need is a trusted factory image -- hopefully the one above is just that. I would suspect that once we confirm a factory image, root methods will be plentiful.

I'm saturating my link at 40Mbps when I download direct from the Motorola server but it keeps failing at the very end and I can't figure out why.

Guess it doesn't really matter now given we have validation on the hash you generated and I can just get the file from your link.

Sorry for being off topic but can anyone test if moded google cam works on this phone ?

here's the link for it.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

Download and install MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Min_v.1.4 apk, see if hdr+ works and if focus also works. thinking about getting this phone but not if gcam doesn't work. this phone has same imx362 sensor as pixel 2 and u11. gcam can really do wonders on this phone. :fingers-crossed:

( if you don't see hdr+ option, thn it may need camera api 2 to be enabled, for that you need root. :rolleyes: )

Edit: no need , read other thread it seems to be working. still some samples would be great.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] caain:
I've been playing with this today and I have to say I'm stuck. Downloading from the Moto server requires a VPN (Singapore and Kiev seem to work fine). Whether I use wget or download straight from Chrome, it ends at 2.7GB with an error. But downloading from mightysween's post (whether Mega or NordVPN) results in a 2.1GB file (SHA256 sums match his post). Yet the file hosted on the Brazilian servers reports a filesize of 1.65GB.

Extracting either the 2.1GB file or 2.7GB file under Linux always results in errors with unzip or gunzip. Using fastjar will yield files, but it ends in a CRC error during system_b.img_sparsechunk.2 (for 2.1GB file) and system_b.img_sparsechunk.3 (for 2.7GB file). The larger (2.7GB) file also yields 'oem.img' when unzipped with fastjar, while the smaller (2.1GB) file does not.

It really doesn't seem like either of these (using any download method) is actually producing an intact copy of the file on Moto's servers. I have enough difficulty accepting a file without a valid checksum from the source, much less one that throws errors left and right when being unzipped.

I'm hopeful someone has managed to get an intact copy. I'm not expecting Nexus-level rom development for this phone, but a custom recovery and working root would be wonderful. I just wish I knew enough to actually help out with that!
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] _ghiottone:
Same here. I got my X4 in 2nd of october with the august security patch and whwn i saw the firmware i want to flash, but the archive is corrupt :crying:
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mightysween:
Several of us have downloaded from the moto server with the same checksum... not that it means the file is the proper firmware, but it is pretty likely we have an intact copy of whatever is there.

That said, I wouldn't flash it. :)

In other news, I reached out to Motorola about obtaining the kernel source and they said it will be released in 1-2 weeks... good news for development.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] crazyates:
Unlocked bootloader and kernel source? This is looking like a good phone after all. ;)
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mightysween:
Indeed! Really hoping the next Magisk update works so I can root, figure out the partitions and start building the device tree.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] crazyates:
I would imagine that it would be better off looking at TWRP before moving on to Magisk?
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mightysween:
Can't build TWRP w/o a device tree and vendor... can't do much to build those without root.

Magisk patches the boot.img to install itself without recovery, but v14.3 currently has a bug causing it to bootloop, and versions before that don't support A/B partitioning.

So, we are stuck for now...
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mcd1992:
Digging through the zip you uploaded to mega it looks like your download was interrupted at exactly a size of 0x7FFFFFFF which is the max size of a signed int32. Makes it seem like the webserver is breaking for some reason. Parsing the zip file does show that the boot.img and everything else except the system_b.img_sparsechunk.2 file will extract successfully. The download is being cut in the middle of the system_b.img_sparsechunk.2 portion and we don't get to see any of the other files after it.

Where did you find the rsdsecure-cloud url at? Is this a known URL Motorola uses to host OTA updates? I've been trying to read through the 3c_ota apk and system files for some hint at where the OTAs are hosted but can't really find anything. The OTA update system sends your primary google email along with the update check and for me its always returning a HTTP/405 error which the phone parses as 'no update available'.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mightysween:
Thanks. I downloaded it twice from the server with the same hash, so that is strange!

The link in the OP seems to have originated on some Brazilian G+ pages. Seems that download trouble is a common problem.

I am going to try again, maybe twice and if I get the same hash, we would have to assume the file is corrupt on the Motorola server, right?

---------- Post added 27th October 2017 at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was 26th October 2017 at 11:32 PM ----------

OK, downloaded again direct from Motorola and got the same SHA256:

f8efa78d21f0fd4b968e860ec06b85442caaf7a93c325fbe7c5c0913306af86e

So, any corruption​ in the file must be in the original. Very strange, indeed.

---------- Post added at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

I am assuming your local SHA256 matches mine, right?
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] caain:
When downloading from the Moto server using mightysween's NordVPN link, I consistently get the same hash we've been seeing. Same thing when downloading from Mega. It throws errors upon unzipping every time, when approaching the spare chunk 2 file from system_b.

What I don't understand is why downloading from the Moto server using another VPN connection (in Kiev or Singapore), the file is also corrupt but also larger. It unzips the sparse chunk 2 file without issue, but chokes on sparse chunk 3. It also unzips the "oem.img" file I mentioned earlier. All downloads are corrupt, but they are consistently corrupt.

We already know the Moto server reacts differently to download requests from various countries (and parts of countries). Some are allowed to download, others get an error. Wget actually throws a 403 for me when not downloading from Singapore or Kiev. Is it possible the Moto server responds differently (fails in different places) when downloading from different locales?

It seems the system and system_b files could be related to the A/B partitioning scheme (a la Pixel), but I don't know a great deal about that.

I'm really glad to see dialogue on this so quickly for the X4. And thank you mightysween for contacting Moto about the kernel source. That is great news!!
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mightysween:
It is all very strange. I will try downloading from a different VPN just to see what happens.

Wish we could browse the Moto server, I bet there is a hash file, and perhaps other versions of the firmware.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mcd1992:
Yea I get the same hash as well. It's definitely something on the server end since it always seems to terminate the connection at exactly 2147483647 bytes. Which is why we always get the same hash.

EDIT:

Managed to get a 2.5G download from an AWS instance. https://mega.nz/#!FyhQ0bBZ!B6rEVbPgJ99kP0eDw86CpYTZSEay5NToT32_G0QcsvA

sha256 d60daa05bd207a285d491cecfc6e854ee6523251b9c61c844e993d089c42b526

Its still missing the full oem.img file though. In this one the system_b.img_sparsechunk.2 and system_b.img_sparsechunk.3 should be valid though, so its a step in the right direction.

Uploading at 1Mbps to keep it slow and steady... will take another hour or two.

Been researching A/B partitioning... so strange.

I am wondering, in the long run, if we can repartition this to get rid of the A/B when using custom ROMs. Would gain 6-7GB of space, and make the device easier to build for. (Now that I look, though, both TWRP and LineageOS have been configured to support A/B OTA updates... amazing that we would sacrifice such a large amount of space just to have "seamless updates". Isn't the average TWRP/LOS user more likely to prefer doing manual updates anyway? I would much rather have the storage space back!)

Time will tell!
