[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akshatk:
Hi there. I am kinda new on these things.

I am at my home right now. I have the time to backup everything.

I am on stock right now , I have started getting a bit of lags here and there.

Should I root and install a custom rom?

And if yes , what is the best combination of kernel and rom for the best performance and battery.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] pradyot:
DO NOT INSTALL CUSTOM ROM, if you have to ask that question.

On a serious note, a factory reset will take care of all lags.Rooting is for those who have a spare phone,want to play around and can afford brick sooner or later. Moto has determined stock to be best for all others.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akshatk:
I am not so new dude. I have installed custom roms many a times..on my canvas a1.

On that device , it was good bcoz the device itself wasn't so good.

But this moto g5 plus is a nice phone. That's why I'm asking whether i should install custom rom or not
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] pradyot:
Acknowledged !! and my apologies.

Rooting and custom roms work well on MotoG+.On some of the latest Oreo roms I was playing around with in the past couple of months,the camera app broke more often than once.If you can live with that in exchange for performance, LineageOS 15 and Pixel Experience roms worked great.

But as with any phone, you have to play around for the best of latest or for stability.

Just my two cents .
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akshatk:
What about the battery life?

Can i use greenify etc with these roms?

Thanks for the reply
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] handy5876:
Install only if a stock firmware higher or equivalent to your current version is available. Else you will not be able to go back to stock. If you attempt to downgrade you will run into problems with bootloaders.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
Battery life is pretty good on the custom rom side. All updated ROMs are now Android 8.1 and are 64 bit. I usually get 6-7+ hours screen on time and switch between every rom that's released :) For battery and customizations I recommend AEX or Validius. Also, you can use greenify on any of the custom ROMs and root with magisk and pass safety net as well. I Also recommend you download from telegram group as those links are updated more often than xda.

Telegram links are:

t.me/g5pluslinks ---> All new ROMs released no chat

t.me/motog5plus ---> Release of new ROMs / kernels but lot of chat too.

t.me/MotoG5PlusStuff ---> Collection of all kinds of camera apps.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akshatk:
Too late. I failed to root. And now my camera doesn't work. :Cries:

Gonna try flashing stock (some 92 version ) which has the Nov patch. Older one failed(downgrade).

Help me if you can. PLEASE.

I can explain everything I did.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akshatk:
Ok guys. So..i somehow got the root to work. But the camera is not working. It is saying camera is busy . What should I do?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
I believe that using custom kernel was the fix to that issue, not 100% sure as I never had the issue myself. Also, if you decide to go to a custom rom you won't have that issue (it only affects stock rom). Another option if you want to stick on stock is find the thread on here for TWRP flashable stock ROMs and use latest one for your phone.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akshatk:
I'm not able to select SD card storage in the recovery mode. What's the issue here? How do I fix it?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akshatk:
nevermind. I updated twrp to 3.2.1.0 . Now i can use my sd card there.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akshatk:
I installed lineage 14.1.

I have no issues now.

Thanks bro!
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Yousucks2:
Hi all, my Kindle HDX 7 has a cracked screen ( i dont undertand why happened at the first place) , a little piece of paper stuck between frame and screen border cleaning the display as normally do ,when i remove it using a minimun of pressure , i hear a crack, and now 40% of the screen is not responding to my fingers,using a torch shows the complete damage , a line crossing edge to edge display.

But thats history, im asking a references to buy a replacement, the cheapest OEM or Generic with the warranty i got a decent quality (probably bought a 9H Crystal screen protector ,to be safe from now)

Im looking this vendor on Ebay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-For-Am...312004869890?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10

But im free to receive references or websites if be posssible got a best quality display or lowest price.

Im not gonna replace the screen , when the piece arrives ,i leave the tablet with a trustworthy technician
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
60-80% of the cost of a pre-owned device. Don't see the value.

Guessing an aging battery swelled putting pressure on the screen. If accurate failure was imminent. So called 'screen protectors' are only effective against direct abrasion/impact; 'hard' overlays can actually contribute to glass fracture on drops and other events depending on how forces are distributed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Yousucks2:
Yes i know the display isnt cheap, only want to spend the less to repair it, was saving some money to get the 64gb version and leave this kindle to my mother, she only want some basic stuff, 16gb isnt enuogh to save mutiple ISO's / APK and my stuff, but this unfortunate accident, change my plans, and i decide repair the cracked kindle first , the good side is , the tablet drop the price next months.

So, i make the order on Ebay, its a good chance to make a video/ tutorial to replace screen , the videos available on youtube dont have a good Quality.

I love this forum. I have learn't so much so far, but still have a lot to learn. Epecially programming for WM. Anyway, on to the reason for posting this thread.

Since learning that I could flash from my microSD card thanks to the tutorial by renaming the *.nbh to KAISIMG.nbh and placing it in the root folder. I have been making custom 1st splash screens to flash remotely as well as making a directory on my microSd ("Flashing from MicroSD") and creating directories for original roms such as (\WM6 Originals\Alex\KAISIMG.nbh) or (\WM6.1\SleuthV3\KAISIMG.nbh), (I also have KAISIMG for just Radios under a different folder) so when I want to try a new rom, flash a different radio or splash, I can at anytime.

Here's the thing I love using the splash tools (maker and converter) and Rom Builder. But obviously you need a PC. Would anyone by able to recreate a mobile version of these tools so we could do most things (customisation wise) whilst we are mobile.

I.E. I want to make and flash a new splash whilst mobile from a *.jpg. I could use this program to convert to .bmp format needed, then convert to *.nb thsn to *.nbh. I could then use a file manager to rename to KAISIMG.nbh then place in microSD root folder and flash.

What you think? Would this be too hard to do? Anyone want more mobile control of your mobile customisation?

Other tools that could be ported would also help. I make the welcome.96.png with my mobile graphics problems.

Well for the moment I'll stick to making several themed splash into the KAISIMG.nbh to flash remotely (making sure you have enough battery mind/dont flash on 10% or something/I recommend over 10% for mobile flashing your splashes and over 50% for you WM Roms)

Got a collection of around 19 Slide out Keyboard sounds inc Knightrider, Thundercats, Xbox 360 boot sound and others. When I have a couple more made I'll post my Sliding keyboard Sounds.cab if anybody wants it over the next Couple of days. (Some sounds gathered from other users share i.e. Mario etc) See this post for my collection of sounds: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=372999

Thanks anyway. Feel free to post your views and look forward to seeing if anyone is up to this challenge..

OTG

Ok, here I go again. How about this??

I have a mini-usb to female USB connector which came with my Archos AV700TV for OTG (On The Go). Which allows me to insert my 4GB usb stick into the Archos. Where I can play, copy, delete or edit anything on the stick.

These connectors don't cost a lot and in my point of view would be a great advantage to those of us that want to Flash our Roms and Splash screens etc whilst we are at work or as a passenger in a car. I would like to leave my memory card with just my programs and music.

By having OTG on our devices I/we could keep all our KAISIMG.nbh (Orginal Roms, Custom Roms, Roms we are trying, Radios, Splash) All on a Usb stick, just lease a Maximum of 150MB on memory card. So that when you want to Flash a Rom. You connect your usb stick via small (mini-usb to female usb) into Kaiser (or other/I'm not Phonist) And use either an already existing filemanager (Resco/Total Commander etc) or created app (developed for sole OTG purpose) to copy \Custom Rom\Alex\WM6.1\Version 3\KAISIMG.nbh to the root of your memory card. Disconnect usb stick boot into bootloader and flash image.

You could also keep all your backup .cab files on the stick and perhaps ask the writer of Tier Auto Install to allow these to be read off such a device as a usb stick using (OTG).

And at only a guess if OTG was created for our phones I'm sure they could possible support higher size usb sticks than our microSDHC cards.

Only an Idea though. CAN ANYONE HELP?????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
The USB OTG protocol is a hardware thing. Most WM devices do not have the ability to host a USB port, and so cannot initiate the connection needed to acheive what you want.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] diigibio:
Never Mind then just thought with it being (Universal Serial Bus) I thought we could perhaps do something along the lines of WM5Storage. Thought it'ld just be a driver plus writing a relevant protocal script.

Thanks for the input anyway.

Gonna, try and by a cheap otg hd with built in led and see if it picks up the phone, maybe using the WM5Storage program so the otg hd might recognise it as the otg drive would be the host and has the hardware.

Even if it works, a bit bigger than something that can be carried around the neck... :rolleyes:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
If you have a OTG archos, couldn't you use that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] diigibio:
Yeah, tried just now it comes up with portable storage device connected, but has some kind of error "USB Device could not be read correctly. Please try again".

It charges my phone though, so that a positive at least. Can use it as a portable battery pack as I take my archos everywhere. And I can charge that at work.

Maybe the error is caused because the phone has multiple memory types: Flash, microSD. Maybe it needs some software to point it in the right direction.???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Even when using WM5torage?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] diigibio:
Yes, I have version 1.8. Don't know if this is recent and I'm using WM6.1 (Sleuth V3)

It reads card via card reader though via otg.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonkin:
Datafix (or Data Fix) file questions....

Layman's explanation: A datafix file is used when an otherwise functional rom doesn't have the right carrier's (in our case T-Mobile's) info and therefore cannot connect to a mobile network. Flashing the small datafix file will, if the right one is used, solve this trouble. All will be well; the phone will make calls and send/receive texts.

There are a few of these datafix files floating around for the N910T phone... and most of them are either 2015 or 2016 files. I am wondering if anyone has created a recent datafix file, up to date in early 2018 (or at least 2017)?

If they have, I'd sure appreciate that info and any links for download!

If you want to see a few datafix files, my post on N7/S8 roms on this forum begins with some links along those lines:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kelarys:
g955w, but since the root it thinks it's g955u, the american version, maybe that's an issue? doesn't seem to cause any other problems

I see in guides what the recovery mode is supposed to look like, and I'm trying to install magisk and magiskhide, but when I boot into recovery mode it doesn't give me the twrp version it gives me this other Android Recovery screen that says manual mode. I'm new at this so I'm not sure what's enough/not enough/too much info, so I apologize, but the options it gives me are:

Reboot system now

Reboot to bootloader

Apply update from ADB

Apply update from SD card

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

mount /system

view recovery logs

run graphics test

power off

and none of that is install/install from sd card which is what all the guides say is supposed to be there. Then I go into rom manager and try to install from there but when I get to the step which is reboot into recovery and install, it freezes and then the app crashes. Not sure what the issue is, maybe I have to reinstall something, I really hope I don't have to start from scratch. I've been trying to find the right thread or guide for hours but I'm having no luck and I'm getting really frustrated. any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] peachpuff:
Those guides aren't for the 955w, they're for the 955f, you can't install twrp on a snapdragon phone since the bootloader is locked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kelarys:
oh, ok, well what should I be doing instead to get magisk installed? none of the guides address the issue I'm having
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] peachpuff:
You can't install magisk either.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
If you have a Snapdragon phone, follow the root quite for Snapdragon phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kelarys:
the guide I used to root my phone just says flash back to stock, which is what I've been trying to do and getting an error
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
Ok, so basically, whatever ROM you have, you are still on stock recovery.

Answer, did you get Snapdragon or Exynos version phone? Seems Canada can get either? That answer will clarify what direction for you to get back to OEM/fix TWRP.

Snapdragon TWRP here:

Exynos here:

SIM unlock is different, for that you need to speak to your network provider.

this is just incorrect. If it says 'bootloader unlock allowed: No' then you cannot unlock the bootloader. Nothing can change this setting
