I have already tested lineage 15.1. it does not work for dual SIM.

I have only tested if dual SIM works and if I can make/receive calls. Most ROMs still have problem with no sound on call, but can be fixed.

I am now testing RR-N and Lineage 14.1 to see which one has better battery performance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Victor13f:
I'm talking about official LOS 15 which should be coming out in the next few days. The one you tried is not an official version and was not built with ZTEs official Oreo files like the new one was. Just wait it out for a few days and then you can test it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hubird:

Link?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Victor13f:
The official LOS 14.1 thread here on XDA
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hubird:
I don't understand why device maintainers continue to focus their efforts on the older, Nougat (14.1) versions.

Oreo bases (15.1) builds have been out for a while now I would prefer they slow down of the 14.1 releases to concentrate on the newer 15.1.

Google will drop Android P soon and that will mean we are 2 versions behind.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Victor13f:
Official LOS 15.1 should only be a few days away for us. Of course there could be delays still but it is practically done thanks to OrdenKrieger, Unjustified Dev and others, we won't be two versions behind. The DEVs focus on what they want and it's not our place to ask for anything since we don't pay for it and they do it on their own good will so they'll do it at their own pace and we just have to wait for it.

So I currently have Win10 and Ubuntu installed each on a separate partition. I installed Phoenix OS through windows and it didn't add up on grub. I have to select Win10 through grub and then when Win10 boots up I have to start Phoenix OS through shortcut which reboots my system to Phoenix OS. What I want is to install Phoenix OS on Ubuntu's partition and add it to grub menu. Anyone kind enough to help me with this? Note that made a bootable Phoenix OS USB but it didn't work (didn't work as it doesn't boot at all, doesn't even detect it).

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] evilc:
I would like to see a today plugin that features quick contacts (Kind of like the HTC home plugin).

The features I would like to see are:

* Today plugin

* Either use photo or set text for each contact.

* Opens contact in default contacts app, doesn't just dial (ie so you can choose to send an SMS)

* Vertical or horizontal list scrolled by gesture. Vertical or horizontal option would be nice, but vertical scroll probably more important - a lot of cube apps (eg ultimatelaunch) are controlled by horizontal gesture, if we could have this contacts app controlled with vertical gesture it would not interfere.

Please note that I mean a gesture controlled list WITHIN the today screen window, not as a seperate full screen app - plenty of things already do this.

* No add contact interface would be required, adding contacts to be included in dialer into a regular outlook category would be perfectly acceptable. Showing photo if contact has one or name if not would also be perfectly acceptable rather than an interface to select that.

V2R Photo Dialer 2 is almost exactly what I want but is controlled by horizontal gesture only. I tried to contact V2R to request this change but I received no response.

[Edit: Thinking about it, it doesn't need to be a favorites dialler, it could just have tickboxes for each category - if you want to use it as a favorite contacts launcher, just set it to the "favorites" category only, or you could leave all categories on to show the whole contacts list]
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JR_de:
I'm using Face Contact which has all you've asking for, except horizontal but if you use Ultimate Launch then you can exclude the plugin from the gestures of Ultimate Launch.

http://www.cnetx.com/products/contact/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] evilc:
Nice app - I prefer it to the V2R one. I have emailed the author asking for the option of vertical gesture to scroll the list. I don't care if the list spins horizontally as it is, as long as I can spin it with a vertical gesture so it don't interfere with ultimatelaunch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
You can do horizontal scrolling photodial with my app, throttlelauncher.... It's free, so if you want to, try it ;). You can install it from http://www.throttlelauncher.com. After making the full instalation (use the exe setup or install both cabs) here you have a little setup cab for a theme showing only a contact row (if you're interested, you can have much more showing app's and other stuff in multiple pages). So to sum up:

- Go to http://www.throttlelauncher.com/

- Ensure you install everything on the same media (SD or device)

- Install both cab or use the desktop instalation in full mode.

- Install the cab attached to this thread.

- Enable throttletoday today plugin (it might take a little bit to load)

- Add as much contacts as you wish to the row ;).

Feel free to post any comments, requests or constructive critics ;). You can customize an xml to make the photos biger, order them in multiple rows, remove the ad delete icons, etc. Hope it matches what you're looking for....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] evilc:
Thanks for that, but the ThrottleLaunch PhotoDialer only allows scrolling of contacts via a horizontal gesture. I need to control it with a *vertical* (up/down) gesture. Also, ThrottleToday will not show inside ultimatelaunch - it will show if I put it on the main Today screen, but trying to add it as a today plugin in ultimatelaunch does nothing.

I did get an encouraging response from the makers of Face Contact yesterday though:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I downloaded Face Contact last night, and so far I am liking it. The reason I went with Face over VR2 is the space issue. VR2 looked to take a lot of space up in the Today screen, and being on a 240x240, space is a big issue. Face seemed to take a minimum of memory and leave room on my screen. I have it in a Shell tab with the native Palm picture dialer. The only option I could think of adding is the ability to dial automatically when the picture is pressed. I know that can lead to a lot of mis-dialings, but maybe a setting like normal usage until the pic is pressed for a second or so, and then the chosen primary number is dialed. If that makes sense great, if not, please let me know and I will try to explain better!!

Here is a screen shot of where I have Face on my Today screen:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
im using face contact. it does everything you are asking for. im also using ultimatelaunch, the two make beautiful music together. especially if you choose the "disable gesture" feature when you enable it in ul. ive played with this quite a bit, and it is very intuitive how smooth everything STILL works. especially for these to be a first version for both apps. experiment with it. the result is perfect
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabibbo:
Lots of nice feedback here: thanks guys.

I'm not sure if this is referred to Face Contact, or to other software you are using. If you are actually talking about FC, then please note that you can easily reassign the TAP and TAP & HOLD actions to trigger different commands, including CALLING the selected contact. Just check the "Action Settings" screen and you'll find the options there.

Also note that when Face Contact is the active plugin you should be able to CALL the selected contact by simply pressing the START CALL key of your phone. This is usually easier and less error-prone than having to tap or tap and hold. And, if you call by using the START CALL key, you can use the tap and tap&hold actions for other things, such as displaying the shortcut menu, or accessing the Face Contact Manager.

PS: we have included quite an extensive help file, with lots of tips and tricks and information on things like this. Maybe you may want to give it a quick look.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I guess I missed the tap+hold part, that is exactly what I was getting at!!! I guess this app has just about it all for me then, I will keep testing like crazy, but so far I am very pleased with it!!!

Hi evilc!

Sorry for the delay on the answer. Vertical scroll on throttlelauncher is planned for a further release (probably 1.0), it's still alpha so many things are missing but I thought It will mach what you where looking for... Any way, I've install UL and find out why the plugin is not showing... seem's that UL doesn't work exactly like the today screen when hosting today plugins (probably to save some memory) so the today plugin exe is not launching. To sum up, to make throttletoday plugin show inside UL the only thing needed is running manually the ThrottleTodayPlugin.exe located on the throttlelauncher instalation path. At least that worked for me. Also as you've said the horizontal scrolling will interfer with the tab change gesture so disabling os setting a time out it is needed by now....

Hi shed!

If contact photos don't look good you can try playing with the config.xml file to change the contact photo width an height values (I recommend to keep the 3/4 ratio if you use standar photo dial photos). The config.xml file will be inside the PhotoDialer1Row (or 2Row if you use this one) on your setups folder on your throttlelauncher instalation path. All you need to do is search for the allcontactswithphoto tag and play with it's height and width attribute.

Gabibbo:

I saw your post and had already replied. I'm just waiting for the version to show up. :)

APBilbo:

I have thinkered with that setting, the problem is in just how throttle scales the images. I don't recall the terms, but the scaled images are distorted.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nextpimp:
@evilc .... I too use face contacts in a UL panel. When you use the disable gesture feature, It only disables the gestures from being passed to UL in the active plugin area. You can still spin the cube via gesture in an inactive area of the panel. Or if combined with something else, an area that does not otherwise respond to a gesture. Try it out.... In my case I have found that though it is a great idea, the vertical gesturing is not necessary for a fully functional solution.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Ok, thanks for the info... I'll take a look at that... It's NET.CF the one scaling the images.... probably there's a smother method to get it... ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] evilc:
Yeah, I realised that a while ago, it is OK if you have something else in the UL tab without gestures disabled, so that you can gesture left in that area to spin the cube.

I think overall, the interface I would like would be gesture left/right between the faces, then up/down to scroll info on each face. I think for this interface, a vertical list would be more suitable than horizontal scrolling icons, it would just work better visually.

I really like the music browser in conduits pocket player - I would kill for one of those in a UL face along with a contacts list done in a similar manner on another face, thumbcal (with scroll month by vertical gesture) on another face... That would be nirvana for me.

Hey! Few days ago my M8 has stopped working. Just picked up the phone in the morning and it was dead (didn't charge it at night). Only charging diode glows orange when the charger is plugged in.

I've checked battery voltage with multimeter and it was 4,04V. Tried to hold power button with every combination with VOL+, VOL- and still nothing... Charging icon doesn't appear on screen. I've also checked every possible connection inside and everything is OK. Do you have any suggest? I really want to rescue it cuz it's the best audio recorder I've ever had :P Please help:crying:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Try holding just power button for a minute or so. Or try power+vol up for a minute.

Most folks don't realize you have to hold the button for so long, in this situation (battery ran down).

I already tried hold every possible combination for more than 2 min. :(

Try leaving it on the wall charger a few hours, and try again. Or try it with the charger connected.

I know you already tested the battery voltage as being good. But folks have had luck trying the various things I mentioned above. It's all you can do short of replacing the battery (which may not be the issue).

Like many people who have lost IMEI after flashing Oreo ROM and reverting to stock, I too have run into the same issue. I've managed to get my IMEI back and now have a working EFS backup. I've also got my VoLTE fixed using the VoLTE fix thread.

The problem I'm running into now is that the OTA updates from motorola keep breaking my IMEI. So every time I install an OTA, my IMEI becomes 0 afterwards. I then have to install TWRP and restore my EFS+persist backup to get my IMEI back. But this essentially prevents me from installing the next OTA update.

Has anyone found a way to install the OTA update without losing IMEI? Any help would be much appreciated!

I've thought of possible solution but I'm not sure if it will work. If someone could tell me if this will work, that would be great!

1. Using Partition Backup app from playstore, backup Modem, Modemst1, Modemst2 and persist on working stock ROM

2. Do a fresh install of stock ROM via fastboot and install OTA

3. Use Magisk to patch boot image and flash the image from fastboot

4. Re install Partition Backup from playstore, grant root access and restore the partition backup to get IMEI back?

This way you can restore the stock boot image and install next OTA all without installing and decrypting your storage with twrp.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Randumb_User:
Another users EFS paritition won't help you and sharing is not allowed on XDA, this has been addressed multiple times since there are over a dozen threads about the the same damn thing.

THE REAL FIX:

Accept that you made a mistake cause you didn't keep a secure backup of your original firmware, and let it be a learning experience in the future. Some users are in worst situations following some of these half-cocked fixes.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Cupcake 1.5:
:rolleyes:

No....we did not make mistakes actually. Many things have been borked by Oreo development, I did nothing to lose my Imei other than flash 64bit Roms, keeping a secure backup of stock firmware would not restore your imei, if so, so would flashing via fastboot your original stock firmware.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] smartish123:
Ok so I've been analyzing the app "Partition Backup" on the play store and it seems that you can also flash your backed up partition through fastboot. So if you back up those partitions, you can restore them through fastboot even without the app (As long as you backup the partition in the .img format). I haven't tried any of this yet so I'm not sure if it will work.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
Best way to back up partitions is to use ADB

ls -al /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name

which will give you a list of all partitions by name and their starting addresses. Then ADB shell and dd command, for instance for persist

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 of=/external_sd/persist.img

This backs up that partition to your external sd card. To restore/write it

dd if=/external_sd/persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30

Of course you would do this for each partition you want to back up.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] smartish123:
Do you need to have root installed to run those commands through adb? What I'm planning on doing is to unroot my device and go to pure stock. I want to be able to restore my modem partitions when I install an OTA (which will probably break my IMEI).

UPDATE

I tried flashing the backed up image of modemst1 i got from the app through fastboot. It failed saying "flash permission denied"

Try this.

1-Pixel Experience workaround (Flash PE, don't turn on wifi, get to home screen, reboot to bootloader, run fastboot erase modemst1 and fastboot modemst2, let phone reboot, confirm network.)

2-Lock Bootloader (If the last OTA you got was 9x-8 you're in a tight spot til firmware is available. If it was -4, you're good.)

3-Flash Full Firmware (but not fastboot erase modemst1 and modemst1. Keep as-is)

4-Install and Flash OTA

I can make absolutely no promises it will work for you

. But I was dealing with IMEI 0, and now my bootloader is locked, on Stock, OTA installed with IMEI. I've had the phone return IMEI 0 after OTA updates before this. I can't confirm LTE/voLTE connectivity, not much data in the first place cause I don't need it.

If it doesn't work. Try again but do this first. I dunno if it's redundant or not. I can't test further and I'm leaving this phone alone now.

--When I was messing with my phone while doing this. I ****ed up the first time and only did 1- and 3-. I ran the above steps after phone as on the home screen and not enabling wifi

For reference. I don't have an EFS backup and I never messed with persist.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] smartish123:
So just to clarify (I understand that this may not work for me):

After following the above steps, you were able to have a working IMEI and you were able to install an OTA update without having your IMEI go to 0 correct?

Also on step 4, when you say "Install and Flash OTA" do you mean you proceed to install the OTA normally (as in you click the install button in Stock and your phone reboots and installs it)?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Randumb_User:

Did anyone else have any luck?

If anyone manages to get thier IMEI at any point I'd suggest Unlocking/TWRP to make an EFS backup. First thing I did after rooting again. Then I got stuck on the logo, had to flash 93-4 and....IMEI 0. EFS backup worked proper and restored it just fine. I could wipe data in TWRP without losing IMEI.

Gonna avoid custom ROMs. Stick with Stock+ElementalX+Magisk.

I have used OTA to update to 93-8 and the other day 93-10 (For XT1687 retus) without losing IMEI, it's an anomaly to me.

What sucks so much is how random things are with this device. For example, a month ago I fastbooted one of the firmwares and my imei was there(was 0 before flashing). After that flashing an Oreo rom, my imei was 0. Going back and repeating the process, flashing same firmware, imei 0 still?????. So damn random. If only we had a safe way to manually insert our imei.
