[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
If he actually meant that, then he's wrong. I pointed out how he was wrong in thinking that older devices running Oreo custom ROMs will ever get Linux kernel 4.4. You need OEM kernel sources for that, and most OEMs aren't going to release Oreo firmware for older phones (like our 2014 Quarks). Because they want you to buy NEW phones. So, devs have to adapt the last kernel sources they have (for Marshmallow, in this case) to work on newer OS. No one except the OEM can make a brand new 4.4.x kernel for an old device.

But I thought he meant "need" as in "want". So, it would run better or something.

Me: We need a new TV.

Wife: No, you want a new TV.

Nexus devices were very open source, so great that a 2012 phone (LG Nexus 4) has Oreo. I skipped that Nexus. I had the gen3 Galaxy Nexus and the gen5 LG Nexus 5 -- as well as the Nexus 9 tablet (which my wife still uses).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
For Oreo, the Quark kernel has to be adapted from Motorola Marshmallow kernel to Oreo. [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] did that with Nougat, but Oreo is harder.

A while back, he posted a screenshot of Oreo booted on Quark but still not stable. When he has news he will post about it again. One of the problems is he has one phone, which is his daily phone he has to use to live and work and also doubles as his development phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lem22:
LOS is LOS and afaik called "15.1" instead of "Oreo" (for good reasons). Google requires kernel 4.4* as the minimum. Therefore, Android™ Oreo® cannot have an older kernel.

I know that for example RR uses "Oreo" in the name too, but I doubt they are allowed to do so since it's a registered trademark.

* or 3.18 for older SoCs resp.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Oreo is the name given to Android OS version 8.X. Lineage OS 15.1 is a modified fork of the latest Android Open Source Project (Android 8.1). If you install LOS 15.1 on your device and check the Android version, it will tell you 8.1.

Google's kernel requirement is for OEM's manufacturing devices that will launch with Android 8.X and is necessary (or at least preferred) to maintain Project Treble support, which is also a Google requirement for new devices. However, Treble support (and therefore Linux kernel 4.4) is not necessary for Android 8.X to function, as evidenced by all the devices that launched with older versions that were later OTA'd to 8.X and by all the devices currently running LOS 15.1 or any other rom that is a fork of the most recent AOSP.

So yes, LOS 15.1 is different than stock Android Oreo, but only in the same way that Samsung devices running 8.X, for example, are different from Oreo. It is entirely accurate and appropriate to say that all of the cases I've mentioned are running Android Oreo, and it is entirely inaccurate to say that Oreo requires Linux kernel 4.4 to function.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lem22:
That's what I meant with false hopes because in the end someone might think this phone will really get Oreo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Well assuming someone is still working on making the necessary kernel tweaks, it will get Oreo. Once someone does that, everything else is easy. But if work on that has stopped, no Oreo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
I call Android 8.1 "Oreo". Don't know about you. OREO booted on a Quark.

Did you just ignore that post and screenshot proof? You posted.right below it, so your couldn't miss it.

[MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] just has to get it stable.

But there's your Oreo 8.1 on kernel 3.1.

Like I explained, I don't, to avoid confusion. More specifically, I differentiate between Android and RR in this case.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dark_prince:
The problem is, usually the preowned used lot of devices shipped to countries other than motorola officially operating-in. In my case, Pakistan. We are mostly unable to buy brand new devices (even if motorola did sell its flagships here) due to hefty prices we have to pay versus the income we have. 25$ might be 2hrs work in US but its almost 3 days of 8hourly shifts on a regular job in Pakistan. Another problem is (I don't know yet) if sunshine supports payments and unlocking outside USA. This caused me to stay away from Motorola as well as HTC devices because the used devices which come to Pakistan are always the verizon ones or the Lenovo's low-end crap. Mind that in Pakistan, currently Turbo 64GB as used device is being sold for 90-110$.

I do understand how OEMs & Carrier-exclusive devices are left in the abyss in terms of software support and speed of security patch arrivals as well as the effort our devs go through to adapt older sources with the newer android builds.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
1) If anyone wants to they can write a free app to do the same thing Sunshine does. The exploit was disclosed publicly. Find someone who knows how to code.

2) Yes Sunshine supports payments and unlocking outside the U.S.. I answered in depth about that just a few weeks ago, that there are alternate ways to pay besides PayPal. It may not be in this thread, but a similar one.

3) There are plenty of Motorola phones that have free bootloader unlock code from Motorola. The reason Pakistan gets the Verizon Motorola phone are probably because they are cheaper -- as they are less useful since have locked down bootloader. So, you have to factor that into the bootloader unlock price (if that option is available) if it's important to you... Some Verizon phones never got dev bootloader unlock.

Whereas the India 64GB Quark Moto Moto Turbo XT1225 (aka Moto Maxx XT1225) -- from the country right next door to you -- probably costs a lot more money than the U.S. Verizon Quark Droid Turbo XT1254. WHY? Not only does it have more LTE and HSPA bands (without the useless CDMA bands), it also has free bootloader unlock code from Motorola. It's the same phone model as the Droid Turbo, they are both Quarks. Just different radio bands. The cost difference is mostly the Verizon locked down bootloader, which makes it a less useful phone.

If you didn't have Sunshine then the 2014 Verizon Droid Turbo (Quark) would have no bootloader unlock, just like the 2015 Verizon Droid Turbo 2 (Kinzie) does not. For Kinzie phones, people have to buy the sibling Moto X Force instead of Droid Turbo 2, to get bootloader unlock and root. Many Droid Turbo 2 owners WISH they could use Sunshine to unlock their bootloaders!

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
By the way, the real Droid Turbo "community" is over here:

Motorola Moto Maxx

https://xdaforums.com/moto-maxx

We were all one Quark forum originally -- Motorola just made the idiotic mistake of naming this phone series different model names for different regions, even different carriers, but the REAL world wide name was "Moto Maxx". (However, the internal code name was Quark, so we call it that, to cover all models which can all use the same TWRP and same LOS-based custom ROMs.)

Verizon's Quark was called "Droid Turbo", and India's was called "Moto Turbo", but everyone else's was called "Moto Maxx". The Droid Turbo XT1254 is an EXACT clone of the Moto Maxx XT1250 -- Verizon SIM card even runs on it, because it's the same FCC ID, same bands, EVERYTHING. And the Moto Maxx XT1250 of course has free bootloader unlock. ;) Of all the Moto Quarks, only Verizon demanded bootloader lockdown for their Quark (Droid Turbo).

Back in 2014 and most of 2015, ALL the Moto Quark models were HERE, in this Droid Turbo forum. We had all the discussions, all the dev work HERE in this forum, for ALL Quarks. But it looked like the Droid Turbo was going to be dead (since the bootloader was still locked down), so in September 2015 the forums were split and most of the dev work moved over to the newly created "Moto Maxx" forum -- including TWRP, custom kernels, most ROMs. Ironically, the Droid Turbo bootloader was then unlocked by Sunshine about two months after the forum split (November 2015).

So, Droid Turbo owners have to go over there for TWRP, custom kernels, Oreo ROMs, etc.

Currently there's two Oreo ROMs, plus the Nougat ROMs of course:

Maybe flashing the kernel can increase the sound(the sound is increasing in the remote sound recording, i have not tried it in the call). If you flash, install the Kernel Adiutor application and select the microphone in the sound section, and increase it.

[Nexus 6  General] dlbarron:
I ask because I'm always on the hunt for my perfect ROM and I have yet to find it.

My perfect ROM would contain only what was needed to boot the phone, connect to the network and connect to wifi, and it would contain a good phone app as well. Nothing else, the bare minimum.

I don't need an SMS app, I use PulseSMS and I like it a lot.

I don't need an email app, I use Nine Mail.

I don't need a music player or an equalizer, I don't listen to music on my phone.

I don't need a browser, I use Chrome.

Everything else I do need, Contacts, Calendar, Camera, Clock etc etc, can be installed from the Play Store.

Yes, I know all about the ways to uninstall apps. The problem is if the ROM I am using upgrades, all of the apps I uninstalled come back so I have to uninstall them again.

Yes, I know how to disable apps I don't want. Several reasons why that doesn't satisfy me.

First, some ROMs include apps that can't be disabled. So if the SMS app can't be disabled and I install Pulse, now I've got two SMS apps on my phone which is a waste of space.

Second, even if the unwanted apps can be disabled, they are still there. Still taking up space that can be used by things I do want.

Yes, I know I can build my own custom ROM. I've tried it and I don't understand the process well enough to debug the myriad of problems I always run into.

Yes, I have a bare minimum approach to things like this. But consider how small the download would be for a ROM like this.

So far, Slim ROM comes the closest to what I want, but even that includes some apps I'd prefer not be included. Also, I'm not sure how active Slim is these days. There hasn't been a lot of activity over the last few months.

So, that's my perfect ROM. Active and minimal.

How about you?

You might want to try Velocity Rom... it's almost as bare minimum as possible although you get a messaging app(you can't avoid that since all roms out here will definitely have a messaging app and it's fine). On top of this you get all the customizations. Though I'm not currently on it, but you will like it's bareness:silly:

Just Google for Velocity rom.

The base doesn't matter much, as long as it works. Maybe aosp, if such a thing is possible.

Yes, I tried Velocity. It looks good but the SMS app can't be disabled. At least in the one I tried. At least with Slim it can be.

I don't know if everyone else has incredibly small fingers, but I had trouble using the on screen keyboard with my digits without pressing the wrong buttons all the time. Secondly, I found navigating with the Kaiser when docked in a car or a holder to be a complete bind. Trying to do something like a telephone call was way more difficult than my old Nokia 6230i

I just wanted to say that I am now finally happy with my Kaiser after doing the following 4 things:

Installing KaiserTweak and modifying settings such as TouchFlo sensitivity and backlight settings

Installing PointUI for finger based navigation

Installing PocketCM Contacts - This ties in nicely with PointUI's interface and filled in a feature that PointUI desperately lacked

Installing PocketCM Keyboard to stop my fat fingers pressing the wrong buttons.

I can now use my Kaiser completely from the screen without having to revert to the stylus or the keypad, which is very useful when it is docked somewhere like in the car.

I just wanted to let others know in case they were having the same problems as I had.
