[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
After doing some basic testing, I found a way to fix the horrible looking picture when watching movies, it does not work with YouTube or Netflix, but with regular video/movie players.

For example, in MXPlayer Pro, In the settings/tools menu, go to decoder and select ''software decoder'' . When selecting HW or HW+ the screen flickers and colours are washed out and contrast/brightness is far too high.

Can others please test this on high quality MKV or MP4 movie files?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
Another update, dunno how I forgot to test the difference but boy was I surprised.

Check out some high quality YouTube videos. Watch these videos on the YouTube App followed by the very same videos on YouTube in the internet browser.

For me there is a BIG BIG difference, unsure if I'm the only one but please test this. Video's look $hit on the YouTube app, too bright and dead/colourless, horrible and dull looking.

However, the very same videos seen in YouTube in my Chrome browser look simply stunning. Amazing accurate colours and deep blacks, just how they are supposed to look.

Later in the evening I will try to compare some videos myself on both the YouTube app and in the browser.

Question is, why am I getting these issues? I would of thought YouTube, whether viewed in the App or in the browser would be the same. Is this some software fault??

Please test the above and share your results.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] crusht:
In the YouTube app type pure black and watch the first video. When the phone is upright it looks pure black no problems. But then watch the same video with the phone horizontal and the black totally changes. Do you think the problem you're having could be related to this bug. Huawei should fix this.

I have a different problem. I see some sort of "burn in". For example when im using one app and switch to another one i can still see some parts of first one (menus etc). It's very noticable in dark room at 20% brightness. Since i'm playing CSR2 very actively this Audi logo makes me crazy :)

Hey not sure if anyone is still struggling with this but after some trial and error I've discovered that the 'Disable HW Overlays' option in the Developer options on my Huawei Mate 9 running Oreo solves the problem, this wasn't happening before I upgraded the os too. Good luck

Hello XDA!

I don't know if it's just my phone, but in every 8.1 ROM that I used the fingerprint scanner works very slow compared to MIUI ROMs. I know that there's some Magisk module, but it doesn't make any difference.

What shall I do? Which ROM makes the scanner to work the fastest?
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] jdsmn21:
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question - I'm a little green on the phone modding (last phone was a S3, rooted with oneclickroot I think) I have a bootloader unlockable XT1775 owens (bought from retail, no carrier lock) that I have been planning to bootloader unlock and root with TWRP & Magisk. I just got a notification that update "NPR26-58-45" is available. I downloaded it, but haven't installed yet - for fear that it might affect what I want to do for root.

What should I do? ie: - install it, and go forward with the root process? Root first, and then install?
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] Goose03:
Do NOT root first!

Edit: do me a favor and upload a system backup after you update, root and install twrp (if you do anyway), so I can make a twrp flashable ROM.

Edit-2: actually, if you could backup system before rooting or anything, that would be better.
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] soaringowl2145:
You do not want to root first. Update then root as doing an ota while rooted may loose your root status or worse!
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] jdsmn21:
Thanks Goose. I will gladly upload that, but I will have to get back to you after the weekend - I apologize, heading out of town after work.

To clarify on the process, I would go through the step to unlock the bootloader (using the code I will get from Moto website and "fastboot oem unlock CODE"). After that is the TWRP step, right? If so, which command do I use: "fastboot boot recovery.img" or "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" ??
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] Goose03:
Np. Take your time. Thanks. Yes, that is what you do to unlock. Then for flashing twrp it's like you have but make sure to match the last part "recovery.img" to whatever the recovery is named. If your recovery is named twrp.img the command is:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] jdsmn21:
That's the one I had been following! I found that very helpful - that would make a good sticky post for guys like myself.

Since I have your attention too, I'd like to ask - is dmnoverity and phh's SU not needed at all? The only three files copied to the SD card (and then installed) are TWRP, Magisk zip, and Magiskmanager APK?
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] soaringowl2145:
Phh SU is not needed since Magisk gives you all the necessary root and features. dmnoverity is not needed. I recommend you allow twrp system write access.
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] jdsmn21:
Well, I followed your instructions....with a minor tweak - and I'm having problems.

I unlocked the bootloader a couple days ago, but couldn't download the TWRP.bin file, so I used my phone through today. Formatted a 64gb card and loaded the magisk zip and apk on it. Flashed the TWRP on the phone, and used the wipe function to wipe data, cache, and dalvik, and then made a backup to my sd card. Flashed the magisk.zip, and then hit reboot "system". Now it just reboots to TWRP. I can reboot to bootloader, but hitting "start" goes to TWRP again.

What do I do? Where did I go wrong?
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] Goose03:
Try fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] jdsmn21:
Thank you. I tried the command, and it said OK, but it still boots to TWRP; i then reboot to bootloader, and select Start and it goes into the normal system. Is that how it is supposed to work?

Last night I was stuck in a TWRP loop, but i got it to go with formatting data and factory reset wipe in TWRP. After finally getting the system to boot, I installed the Magisk Manager and then Adaway. Now today I was playing with the Chase Pay app, which won't let me sign in due to being rooted. I then reverted my hosts file and uninstalled Adaway, and played with all the hide options in Magisk., to no avail. Root Checker app says that Safetynet is tripped.

Does Magisk effectively work for apps that look at Safetynet on this phone - apps like Chase Pay?
[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] Goose03:
It is not normal to have it boot straight to twrp or the bootloader rather than the rom unless you do so manually.

Have you triedbplaying with the settings in Magisk Manager? There is an option to hide Magisk from your choice of apps. There is also a couple other options in the settings to hide things as much as possible. If you have Xposed installed it won't pass a safteynet check.

[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] Goose03:
You could. I've flashed xt1775 firmware to my xt1776 to get a backup of the system to make a twrp flashable from. I don't recommend it, but if you only flash the system and not the modem and oem it should provision data services. Why do you ask exactly?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bingobot:
Hi!

I've had my G4 for about 1,5 years. I think it launched with android5, and it currently has 6.0.

The last few months it has become super slow, apps takes very long to start and such. I was starting to think that the newer OS would have slowed it down, so I tried a factory reset.

Now, the phone is still 6.0 after reset, and I'm a bit confused since I thought it was going to be an older version. But the phone now feels like a new phone, it's super responsive and fast. And now that it is a clean phone just like it was when I bought it, I was wondering if it would be possible to root this phone with this OS, and version

My phone is:

H815 European (bought in Norway)

droid v 6.0

software version V20g-EUR-XX

My question is can this be rooted, or do I have to downgrade to an older anroid OS? if so, could someone point me in the right direction? =)

I tried all the Oreo roms and the FM radio does not have RDS as it has nougat instead. Installed FrancoKernel r4 and the FM radio has RDS. Roma developers should analyze the Francokernel and try to understand why the battery lasts longer, the FM radio has RDS and much more. If you want to improve you must be humble and understand ..... it is my humble consideration.
[Nextbit Robin] Darkstar_Devil17:
It's time to move on, a bad news for all Rebels.

Nextbit Robin's cloud services are nomore. Means there is nothing except 32 gb onboard we're left with as there is no sdcard slot, no otg support and from now, no smart storage too. I don't know what to do with Robin now.

It seems like Robin has been dropped by all officially supported Roms. Even the 2012's Nexus 4 has got 8.1 Oreo and salt-on-wound (XDA reviews it). I think i should move on now if there will not be any Oreo Rom this Month.

How many Rebels still want Robin Alive?
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
I can't answer all your questions but here is answer to one of it.

If you were reliant on cloud storage or that was what you wanted all along then you are in luck. Soon after Robin was released almost the whole industry enabled auto sync in their apps.

Google Photos, OneDrive, etc are the few popular to name. You have options, you just need to choose one you like and use it. You'll never miss the missing cloud part.

You can also download Oreo builds of LineageOS right now in the LineageOS thread. I'd say that they're gonna be working much better than the crDroid builds since crDroid's just using LOS's kernel + trees, and javelinanddart pushes out new builds more frequently whenever he fixes something whereas crDroid's latest build is from March 6th and still has the broken sensors + H264 encoder.

Important!​

You MUST be updated to the lastest firmware or this ROM will not work properly!​

How to install​

1- Boot to TWRP and wipe system, data, cache and dalvik-cache.

2- Flash the ROM.

3- Flash your choice of zips from here to disable dm-verity (no-verity-opt-encrypt will disable force-encryption, no-verity-force-encrypt will keep force encryption, but disable dm-verity).

4- Flash the latest Magisk if you want root.

5- If you want Magisk modules to work properly, flash the kernel here: https://xdaforums.com/moto-e4-plus/development/release-f2fs-bug-fix-kernel-qualcomm-t3724103 then a zip to disable dm-verity and Magisk.

5- Reboot TWRP. (This is important to keep the stock recovery from replacing TWRP!)

6- Allow TWRP to modify system. (This important to be able to flash zips and have them actually make changes.)

7- Reboot.

You MUST flash the deodexed oem.img zip with the deodexed ROMs!​

No need to flash a zip for disabling dm-verity and forced encryption with the deodexed versions. The kernel is already patched for this along with init.d enabled.​

If someone with the retail variant updates with the latest ota I'm hearing about, I'll make a flashable if you can provide me with a system backup before rooting.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] glockman4519:
Thank you for this. Now we have a stock option to flash with TWRP instead of fastboot. And no forced encryption.. That is going to speed this little device up some... Great job. As soon as you have a retail version out for use in the XT1775, I will test.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Goose03:
I made a twrp flashable ota update zip (partition updater) for the sprint variants and the E4 sprint variants. They've been tested and work fine (this guy was happy https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75854847&postcount=25) for use with the ROMs made from the same firmware version. If someone, after updating would pull me the required imgs along with the system backup, I'll make a retail version also. Otherwise you won't be able to use the updated ROM without taking the ota update or flashing the firmware with fastboot first when it is released.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:
When you say a system backup, what are all of the partitions that you need?

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Also how do I get the updated version full zip like it is here:

https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto E4 Plus/Stock/
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Goose03:
I only need a twrp system backup and the pulled boot.img, oem.img and modem.img, the only parts with patches in the ota. The rest installs fine being replaced rather than just patched. That newer firmware isn't released yet. You'll have to wait.

Edit: actually I need a twrp boot.img backup also, I like to have both just in case.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:
How exactly do I pull the OEM, and modem? Can it be done through fastboot or adb? Also will this zip need to be installed on top of the current retail zip or can we install it the first time?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Goose03:
With adb:

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oem of=/oem.img

or you can also use the terminal in twrp:

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oem of=sdcard/oem.img

or a terminal emulator from the Play Store and do it right on the phone while the OS is running with the same commands as for the twrp terminal. For the modem just replace oem with modem.

Edit: with a system backup, I will make a ROM that will be able to be clean installed, but anyone who hasn't updated with the ota or official firmware will have to flash the partition updater I make before flashing the ROM.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:
I will use twrp to backup system, system image, and boot. Then I will use adb to pull the system, boot, oem, modem, and modemst1 and 2 and upload those. That is all you need right?

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

Also after flashing twrp and doing a backup to take the next ota do I just need to flash stock recovery back and then do the ota?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Goose03:
I only need what I asked for, no more. I don't need a twrp system image. Only the normal backup. Also, the modem.img nothing more.

I'm not sure your understanding this. What I need is for you to flash the existing stock firmware package with fastboot, the whole package. Boot up your device and install the ota update, then flash twrp and make the system and boot backup and then pull the oem and modem.
