[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jeep364:
I have a Motorola Droid Turbo that I've had for almost 4 years. I tend to buy good phones when they are slightly out of date and bring them to my carrier (VZW). I need (rarely) international compatibility and a reliable phone. The LG v20 is appealing because the battery is replaceable (only reason I am dumping my existing phone) and has a headphone jack. If it has an adequate camera, that is fine for my needs.

Any reason not to buy this phone? Reliability, etc?

I am planning on purchasing 'new' from ebay, phones are running about $220. Any recommended sources for the oem batteries or at least one that works well? How about screen protectors?

I will purchase a TPU case. Amazon reviews are all over the place. When I receive the phone, I will read some guides on disabling all the background garbage apps.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] qs504792:
Rooting is not easy. Or wasn't.. haven't checked in a while. My phone I have had from launch and the screen suffers from temporary burn in. Really annoying. Was never an issue till the last couple months it has gotten worse. I'll probably never buy a phone without an OLED screen again. But overall I'm pretty happy with the phone. I don't really have that bad of urges to replace it. The note 9 is looking good but I want to see what LG does with the next v series. I came from Samsungs line before this phone I had the note 4, rooted Galaxy s4 3 and 2.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jeep364:
I will not be rooting so no biggie there. Sad to hear about the screen, I'll have to investigate more. Any other last gen phones you'd recommend? Obviously none would have the removable battery and many don't have a headphone jack...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] qs504792:
I'd say you can't go wrong with any Galaxy device or note. Especially if you can root it. My s4 was running so smooth after it's 2 years were up. Was running a Google edition rom. I just don't know if I can look past the screen issues I have been having and have read about on the v20. My only complaint. The camera is awesome. The mic is amazing. Sound quality of music is great. Second display I use all the time. Fingerprint reader is instant and perfect. Build quality is excellent. I have been using it without a case for the last year and have dropped it many times and you can't even tell.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] rhythm_dx:
My wife and I both have Verizon V20s, having upgraded from V10s about a year ago. We love this phone, to put it succinctly.

The good:

-Root! (Even though you said you're not going to, we won't buy a phone that can't be rooted.)

-Good camera. Not the absolute greatest, but pretty darn good, and can handle low-light pretty well for a phone. Love having the second wide-angle sensor.

-Good battery life, especially with a new battery. I usually have about 70% life after streaming over Bluetooth all day at work and looking stuff up sporadically. Also charges very quickly with appropriate chargers.

-Nice screen size. Plenty bright and good for watching darkly lit shows. Does require two hands for typing unless you use the weird one-handed keyboard thing.

-Second screen. Very handy for custom quick shortcuts without even turning the main screen on.

-Removeable battery and SD card support.

-Unlocked out of the box, like any Verizon device.

There is probably more I like about this phone but can't remember. Those are the highlights, though. Now for the bad:

-Rooting does take some effort, but is totally manageable. (In case you decide to.)

-Bluetooth streaming was initially very choppy, but we fixed that by turning off battery optimizations for Bluetooth.

-Finger print sensor on power button sometimes unlocks the screen immediately after I lock it. Have to pull my finger away quickly. Not a big deal, I guess.

-Screen burn-in does require some effort to mitigate, but is fine after adjustments.

I think that's all. In a nutshell, great phone if you're willing to do a little bit of setup.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
Would just like to chime in on the burn in. I have a h918 running the BTTF kernel with Kcal and I'll say it has definitely mitigated the frequency that it appears but no combo I have tried so far has completely gotten rid of it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] johnwaynegacy:
You can fix this if you have a kernel with kcal support like mk2000, and the color control app. You can turn down the max color values a bit and pretty much get rid of the ghosting completely.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Impster667:
Ok, I'm not exactly what I did or how I did it. But now I have a problem.

When I try "fastboot flash boot.img" I get

Sending 'boot__a' (20625 KB) OKAY [ 0.498s]
Writing 'boot__a' (bootloader) Invalid partition name boot__a
FAILED (remote failure)
Finished. Total time: 0.513s

Based on what i'm reading I'm guessing my partitions are borked. So I'm assuming I need to do a

Fastboot flash ptables <ptable.img>

But I can't find a ptable.img file. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] murrty:
Since the Moto x4 utilizes A/B slots, you'll have to specify the slot for boot.

Instead of "fastboot flash boot boot.img", you'll need to specify "fastboot flash boot_a boot.img" and "fastbooth flash boot_b boot.img" and etc for other partitions.

It would be good practice to flash both the slots when you're flashing stuff, unless otherwise specified.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Impster667:
Dude! Thanks this was driving me nuts!

I owe you a cup of coffee :D

Is there any way the app paths could be read from an ini file. I have the S2 series cooked into my ROM, and I really don't want to have them in two places/have to recook my ROM...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Looks pretty neat. Are there other clock options?

I am testing it right now...

Everything works, except from the "contacts" button. I get an error and the task ends...

I am using a HTC Cruize, Win6.1 0.67 bepe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
hey..this to all those who have S2Series Product Cooked into their ROM..In the next release i will tell the UI to look for a Shortcute file called SMS and respectively..so it will be easy to edit the Shortcut Files in your Notepad

for the Contacts i have skinned Pocket CM according to WM 7 UI so i will tell the Program to look for Pocket CM
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Excellent! I guess that's easier than a config.ini? And also slightly easier to implement for me as I already have all the shortcuts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
if all goes well ..i will release the Apha 4 tonight

( i have got my maths paper on Sunday :D )

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
Heya Guyz..VGA Version Finally Released !!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xplode:
nice work ather90, maybe in future release you could include more rich graphics, for example digital and analogue clock faces, rounded edges on buttons maybe skinning support :)

keep up with the good work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
yeah in the future maybe...i have just learnt the basic of programming in C# and C++
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] theme freak:
Hi ather i have tried the vga version and it works but the graphics is somehow the "streched" version from QVGA one :p and some shortcuts wont work..after i push them, they will appear some error statement and exit the app :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
hey theme freak i have posted a tutorial on how to edit the shortcuts...as for the graphics i will correct them in the next release..actually im trying to integrate weather applet in the UI
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] theme freak:
so that error is supposed because of the invalid shortcuts rite? Thanks a lot :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
[FONT=&quot]After using the ui for some time, I have the following ideas/suggestions:[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Time and date could be displayed as a label rather than numeric Up/down control box. This would allow for a larger font and different colours of text.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Not all of the shortcuts work. I get a file not found style error and then the app needs to close. Each of the shortcuts works individually.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Time/date only change on the launch of the app. could this be changed to either wait for changes in the system time, or to periodically check the system time?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The app itself is quite a large file. Is there any way of using more compressed image files, or having the colours created as part of the form background both of which would safe space.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Could the shortcuts have a hardcoded path, but use the *.lnks if they are found. Whilst this would mean they may not necessarily open up the correct version, it would stop the app not finding the shortcuts.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The Pocket CM theme is not usable. It is not recognized as a theme.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The S2U2 theme has a dark overlay when used with S2P. [/FONT]
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
regarding The TIme and Date..its been done

I will see regarding the shortcut issue

I will try to compress the JPEG files..

Pocket CM theme is for 0.15

send me a screenshot of ur S2u2 issue on ather90@gmail.com
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Great! When is that going to be released?

Could use you use a more compressed image format?

That would explain my difficulty.

Sent!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
The new release will be out soon..i am almost at the finishing of implementing the weather appplet :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Weather applet eh? Is this an app that downloads the weather or one that reads the weather from another weather program?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
no no..it displays the weather in the UI..its not dependent to any other software
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Awesome! When are you going to release it? :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ather:
Actually im very buzy..

1. i am coding a Kitchen in C# for BA devices

2. i have My mathematics Paper on Sunday ( i havent studied much :) )

but still i will release it tomorrow ( its 12 here and im awake from 5 AM )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Yay! A release date! Although, don't mess up your maths paper for this...

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Dishe:
I've been patiently waiting for the official Oreo rom, but now that we have the soak test and it's still 32-bit (I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, yet I am), I'm ready to throw in the towel and go custom. The 64-bit roms seem to get better benchmark scores as well as compatibility with newer editions of google camera (although Savitar's 32-bit Gcams are pretty solid and support RAW). But there are SO MANY rom options, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.

I've seen a lot of people recommend Pixel Experience, but after reading up on it I'm not so sure its the right choice for me. I've heard the most recent August update hurt battery life, and there's been some funny business about how Google Photos works- apparently it is the app from the Pixel which supports uploading full quality images that don't use your Google Drive storage space... except that since they aren't coming from an actual Pixel, they DO use storage space. And the regular option to just upload unlimited compressed photos is gone from the settings. This is a problem for me as some of the gcams I play with take rather large photos, and I'm always pretty close to the limit of my Google Drive space.

Also, I've heard the lead dev maintaining that ROM has moved on to another phone, so I'm wary of future updates and if current bugs will be addressed.

I'm not looking for bleeding edge or bells and whistles. Like I said, if Moto had put out a stock 64-bit Oreo rom by now I'd stick with that. I need the moto actions to work (particularly the chop flash light. Freaking most useful thing I've ever had in a phone. EVER), as well as the fingerprint reader. Battery life is important to me as well- it should be at least as good as stock. Any suggestions?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] loulondono:
I've been trying many roms over the last 48 hours and have come out with some first impressions that may help you. The first rom I tried was resurrection remix, a mod a user made of the official one (downloaded it by accident and thought it was official, upon reading up on it the only difference seems to me armanian translation option or something) and it was OK. I noticed a few issues but it was good but everyone was raving about pixel ex. so I gave that a go. It is less feature packed but smoother, so very noticeable. Not that the other one was bad, but if I exited pubg mobile to nova launcher it was slow af. But was fine. Pixel experience is good. Its fast, fluid and with no issues. I haven't noticed any battery issues on it, definitely better than rr tho. I then heard that frankenrom was good but the download is down. But in the thread I found my favourite edition of the gcam mod for moto g5 plus yet, a very good hdr+ mod by bsg. So with frankenrom not working out I went to firehound. It was rr but a bit slower and overdone visuals. I went to rr again (official latest release this time) and I have to my surprise it was worse than the mod. I also found that it doesn't let my gcam work on it. Then I tried dirty unicorns for its supposed stability but was unimpressed by the light tweaking but still packed feeling (rr roms are good because they feel full of stuff and they are. This had the same feeling but just not as much stuff, not worth it). I'm now back on pixel ex and have no issues. Google photos works fine and both storage options are available. Battery life seems good. But I had some issues when it came to using xposed. After you install the modules and boot back up the screen doesn't display. Maybe the system less magisk might be better. It's almost a deal breaker, I love gboard but can't stand how it doesn't autocorrect in search fields and has made the mod awayscorrect a need for me. And in a rom with very little customisation it's more necessary than ever. But other than that it's great. Also it handles my bsg gcam mod the best so far.

All in all I'd recommend either rr or pixel ex. I'm liking the light and breezy feel of pe for now but will probably be on another rom my this time tomorrow. But check out the gcam it's got the best autofocus out of all the ones I've tried which I hear is a big problem for moto g5 plus owners. It's on the franked rom thread and it's urikill.apk.

I'd you have any more questions ask away, more than happy to help.

Edit: also very potter rom has moto actions, they'd be scrutinised by everyone if they didn't. And fingerprint gestures in the vast majority of roms.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] rajeshkoshti:
64-bit custom roms is a good option. But I see you are more into stock stability, battery life, smooth UI, moto actions, gcam etc.

Dont go fully custom, just unlock and root.! install the mods (like cam2api) you want using twrp.

Moto has already taken a bad decision with a 32-bit oreo, see my point is 64-bit or not, if you are concerned about above mentioned things and as you have pointed out that at present you are satisfied with the speed and stability of stock nougat. Unlock+root+some mods might not be a bad idea as per your requirements.

Just an opinion.

Happy flashing.

Unofficial Lineage 15.1 which is Android 8.1 - I've loaded loads of ROMS on other phone and this ROM is great... no issues I can think of, great battery, great performance... the install instructions were crap but if you need a hand, let me know...

I need to say i had both Nitrogen and Bootleggers at least one week and both were smoothly great. First Nitro then Boot, in that order. But Bootleggers has a few more tweak options. In the other hand, i tried Liquid Remix only one day and was incredible with a lot of tweaks and very fast and smooth ux. Id like to hear some reviews about the three i mentioned.

Go for AEX rom...its too good for daily driver and no bugs...almost perfect 64bit 8.1 oreo for Potter
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Dishe:
It's an idea but I'm actually tired of dealing with trying to stay updated on modified stock. Everytime there's an OTA, it's a major hassle to update, or I could block the update notification and jump through those hoops to stay outdated which seems silly too. Also, I was holding out because I thought Oreo would be 64-bit, which has proven performance gains, not to mention I wouldn't mind one of the newer gcam builds which will never work on 32bit. Basically, I lost interest bin waiting once I found out the stock rom would never be what I wanted.

I'll also add that every device I've ever owned has run a custom rom (with the exception of a couple of obscure devices which had none available- those were dark times). I'm not uncomfortable deviating from stock, but I'm into stable and not experimental. The Moto stock was so clean however, this is the longest I've ever been on stock with a device capable of custom!

Interested in this one. Loved lineage on other devices I've had. Curious why this option isn't more popular. For some reason everytime someone mentions it, conversation quickly turns to PE.

But what about the Google image uploads? Do they work, and don't they use up your gdrive storage? I'm not so ok with that.

Yes, but are there no roms that equate for stability battery and clean ui? Because I've had roms on other devices that improved stability battery and user experience.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm actually not familiar with aex for example!
