I'm in!

I'm in as well. I'm not sure where he's located, but this device only costs about $200 USD. I'm grateful to all the risk and hard work these guys take on so the rest of us can really enjoy our devices!
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Causical:
Cool if we can gather at least 10 different people with the G6 [ALI] to each be willing to pitch 30 dollars, then the risk of loss will be low and if we can find a willing and reputable Dev the chance of loss will be even lower. Once we all decide who's pitching in and we know we'll have enough we can talk to a Dev about setting up a donate link of some sort.
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] skarloey28:
I'd throw $20 at it. Would be preferable for him to get a US variant.

Very cool... I think so far including myself we have four people... Maybe five already willing to donate for a Dev device?? I'll have to compile a list so we're sure. Don't be afraid to send me a PM if you're in. I'm not the official organizer or anything, just a guy trying to get things rolling.

Just to give everyone a little update on what's going on. As of tonight we do have a semi working root and TWRP solution for the G6 (Ali). There is some key issues going on currently that is why it's not been released to the public. Here's what is going on.

1 - Micro SD does not work on TWRP. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

2 - SafetyNet fails when Xposed is in use with Magisk 16.6 Beta.

The good news much progress has been made in the last few days. The G6 (Ali) is a much more complicated device than any of us imagined it would be. So hopefully soon-ish an working root and TWRP solution that will be fairly easy to have working will come forth. No estimated time on when this will happen so hang in there folks. The wait will be worth it.
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] najjannajS650:
Safety net

I mean that with xpossed you can't pass safety net
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] supergear:
US Moto G6 doesn't have NFC and i think most models of the regular G6 doesn't have NFC so does SafetyNet matter all that much? Just curious.
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cloud9ine:
I'm up for chipping in $20 to sponsor a G6 for a dev. I feel like this phone has a lot of potential if we can get it rooted, and 64 bi oreo running on it, and especially GCam. It has an f/1.8 camera which should be resulting in far better pictures than we are seeing.

[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Causical:
Alright everyone I've been busy with life, but just for the sake of encouragement for community endeavors I've compiled a list of all the currently known individuals willing donate funding towards progressing the development for the G6 [ALI] by either providing a device for a Developer or by any other means that the community comes to an agreement on.

**This is by no means a final or All Inclusive list and will be updated so that we know where we're at. This also is not an obligatory list, meaning if you're on here and you'd like to be removed or you change your mind about being able to donate then no one is going to be mad and you have that freedom.**

***THANK YOU Everyone that has already and is willing to contribute to development for the ALI***

• [MENTION=8074064]Mvtxk1[/MENTION] - maybe?

• [MENTION=2103120]MaitiuD2[/MENTION] - currently 30, potential to close up fund differences when close to amount.

• [MENTION=4532415]skarloey28[/MENTION] - 20.

[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] jfalls63:
$30 from me to start. Will put in more for Custom Rom support. Since development is beyond my skill set, I have always donated to those that I have benefited from their hard work.
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] MaitiuD2:
I'll mirror [MENTION=6842327]jfalls63[/MENTION] offer. If it's a difference of $20 to get the device, I don't mind kicking in. I'm overdue for supporting development I've benefited from.

Thanks for getting the conversation started.

weather i can change my varient a??
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] kaw202:
We are getting kinda off topic but I think if you flash boot system and recovery you can change. However I am 99% sure you will not get ota updates as the software channel is set in the boot-loader and your system will mismatch. I suggest if you are going to try you should take at least two backups of your current system partitions and make sure the hash's match and you have a good backup. I am also not sure how you would flash this I think system will be to big for fastboot. Maybe boot TWRP and do "adb push system_stock.img /dev/block/platform/soc/by-name/system"

Here is a system dump from the FI variant

oops i need ootaa ohk what about the twrp and rooting method
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] kaw202:
I am not really sure how TWRP is going there are a few devs working on it. I only used the test build to boot and get root access to the system to pull a set of images.

Root is also only sort of working. It is possible to install the magisk app and use it to patch the stock boot image. However currently you must check both Preserver Force Encryption and Preserve AVB2.0/dm-verity to get a working/bootable root. This means that you are limited to only system-less modules. I have been able to install any magisk module as well as use an ad-blocker with system less hosts. Remember though we are early in the game and the possibility for you brick your device is very real with no stock images or even a fully working TWRP.
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] RICHIE@FLICKER:
will you send me the patched_boot.img becoz when i try to do it that the patched img size is very low
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] kaw202:

when flashing this, you already have root? or could you explain what it is for?

Enviado desde mi moto g(6) mediante Tapatalk
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] kaw202:
This is root for the moto g6

It is very limited.

You have to keep force encrypt and android verified boot. What this means is you can use any magisk module or an ad blocker if you enable system less hosts in magisk.

However if you try to make and changes to the real /system or /vendor your device will bootloop.

If all of this doesn't deter you it can be flashed with fastboot and then you can install magisk manager.

Proceed with caution!

Edit

While I can say that this works for me I have not tested it on any other devices.

I do not suggest flashing this unless you have a known good backup of at least you boot partition.

Come on guys, posts like this add a sour taste in the mouths of those who are constantly going through trial and error testing and debugging and often getting mind fracked by why things are not working when they try them. Devs will often [if not always] work on things unbeknownst to the public. Do you want a bunch of people trying to run half ass builds as daily drivers and repetitively bricking their devices and then coming back complaining how they just waisted 270 dollars on a paper weight? I think not, as always there are NEVER ETAs and there are ways currently that you can contribute to what you want to see happen.

**Add** -Another thing, a Developer here is a Developer because they often have self obtained knowledge and experience through practice of a skill that they are interested in, which can be known as a hobby. This means these people aren't employed by anyone HERE to provide a service... If they are on your payroll, please correct me and I will be more than delighted to readjust my statement.

+1 any development work takes time and good Dev work takes even longer. Be patient and wait is definitely the best course. No need to trash talk anyone or the device.

A few screenshots to tide everyone over until the guide is written. It's a bit more complicated compared to a normal root/TWRP process but worth the few extra steps for that all sweetness that rooted and TWRP offers. SafetyNet fails on me since I have Xposed Framework running just a heads up for those who want to use Xposed at this time.

Here's another test with working sdcard. Used the OP's TWRP as a base so I wanted to give thanks to [MENTION=5584161]likemiketoo[/MENTION] for providing the base image used here.

Current known issues:

- You can't move files to the external sdcard from within TWRP (copying works).

- If you wipe system and reinstall using TWRP, it's complained of there being no OS Installed, but it's there......lurking I'm sure with that sneaky cursor from the other build.....mocking us.. Just reboot and it'll boot. If you're concerned about it then use bootloader to flash system.

Again, this is for testing. I backed up, wiped, and restored no problem.

I've had it too, and this is a common mistake. You are wrong to enter the code, check carefully whether you have left a space or omitted a character, preferably after copying the characters from the bootloader, use Data Scrub Tool to automatically and correctly extract the code.

Hi,I may have found a bug in the backup or restore process . I am not a dev or coder, just a user. Moto G6plus non carrier version. Unlocked bootloader. Stock rom. No root. Immediately updated to OPWS27.113-54-1 as soon as it was turned on. Boots TWRP.img as expected. Nandroid backup successful. However on restoring backup no incoming or outgoing phone audio. Can flash a downloaded copy of firmware OPWS27.113-45-4 and full functionality returns. Has anyone else come across this? If you need any data , simple to follow steps please!!

Stable Android P will see the reintroduction of MIUI, they put too much development in MIUI to allow you to use pure Android P, just like all manufacturers do. it's a shame tho, i would love this phone with pure android
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] kleinholzinferno:
I'm not a religious person but amen brother! :)

The device really rocks even with the developer preview. I can't wait to have an aosp rom for this device! Coming from Nexus devices ever since I still love the look, smoothness and bloatware free android experience.

Maybe Google can force manufacturers to let people choose between stock android and their own UI. Chose at first startup and you're good to go!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] barcode99:
it's not going to happen, bro. it's like Microsoft forcing everyone to use Edge instead of Firefox and Chrome. They paid license fee and the hardware manufacturers make money by all means necessary. GUI is one of those. I personally do not care about GUI, i had LG, HTC, Samsung and Sony phones. I choose best performing device on the market based on design, spec and camera. I use Smart Launcher on all of them and just delete/hide all bloatware. MI 2s is the one i like this year, i run preview on it for a month, it's keeps crashing and camera app lost all MI 2s advantages so i am back on MIUI Global now. All other developer ROMs i tried, including MIUI10 is just full of bugs. Depends what you want to use your prone for... i used it primarily for business, stable ROM is more important that new bells&whistles half of which doesn't work. I got preview for MIUI10 and it's far from even something usable on a daily basis.

I am sure we will get something closer to pure android soon, Xiaomi really making headlines by allowing all kinda testing on this phone, it's good marketing strategy. i like it, but from what i saw so far, Global 9.5.19.0 is the one for me
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] kleinholzinferno:
You're absolutely right about that!

They can't force the manufacturer to let people choose. Which is of course a bad thing and by that I mean to force them.

I tried the miui global ROM 9.5.15 and it's stable and working but it has too many restrictions for me. I just like the stock android and not this iOS plagiarized version.

I'll wait for the custom ROMs. I run lineageos on my Samsung note 10.1 2014 because the original firmware made the tablet unusable. Lags as hell and you can't even uninstall all this bloatware without root.

Nice to see different tastes, that's what's makes the development strive for new solutions. Which is obviously great! So everybody can choose what fits them best!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JaimeZX:
So. Knowing official LOS isn't available for the S7, I ordered an S6 online.

What shows up today? An S7. In mint condition, for the price of a "good" condition S6.

But also screen protectors and a case for the S6. Furthermore, I have no idea when a developer will get around to fixing the license issues with LOS for the S7.

So I might call the vendor and ask them to send me the S6 I ordered, even though I should be happy with this swap. The whole reason for wanting LOS is to have the latest security pushed on a regular basis. Thoughts? Are there any other ROMs that do regular security updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] iOrpheus06:
1. Wrong place to post this

2. Los 14.1 official build was taken down but it doesn't really matter if you just want to use los, there are unofficial builds anyway and it's no different from official.

3. As for 15.1, once rebase is done, it will move to official.

Your call on what you want to do with it. I wouldn't want to give it back, though, since s7 is better than s6 in almost every way I could think of.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JaimeZX:
1. A mod was kind enough to move this to the Q&A Subforum... which is where I thought I had posted in the first place. My apologies. :o

2. Are the unofficial builds getting regular security updates? This is my main concern. Although I see the S7 is still on Samsung's list to get manufacturer updates, so it's not critical that I install LOS this second.

3. Cool... so 15.1 doesn't suffer from the same GPL issues that the 14.1 build does? That's great to hear.

We'll see what the vendor comes back with; I mailed them last night and said I'd swap phones if they paid return shipping.
