[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] AesopRock127:
First off, thanks for your thorough and well thought answer. I actually know this about you from browsing other threads. Secondly, I'm curious what you consider to be essential Xposed modules? I have Xposed installed but find it hard to pick through and find the gems in the largely useless (to me at least) download section. Been experimenting with different custom rooms and while I still really like the RR one, I'm starting to feel like I may be happier in stock as well, maybe just a debloated one. So although I didn't intend this with my OP, I'm interested what you or anyone considers to be essential modules on Xposed or even Magisk. Thanks for your opinion
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DB126:
I like to keep things simple and functional; reliability is a top priority. I also demand full control over my gizmo's while rarely using those capabilities. Could care less about theming and other eye candy.

My essentials:

- AOSP based ROM

- TWRP

- Root manager (SuperSU or Magisk)

- Kernel manager (typically EX)

- Nova launcher

- Xposed framework w/gravitybox and edge

- Greenify w/xposed (used sparingly)

- SD Maid

- Adguard

Of course I have dozens of high quality apps that are universal along with a handful that are device specific. The only Magisk modules I use are those that are absolutely necessary for device compatibility. I do use other Xposed modules (eg: Wifi password; OwnOrientation) but typically only where needed.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] AesopRock127:
Yes I see the benefit of this.

I'm starting to agree more and more.

You get the stabability of the stock rom with the customization of a custom rom with gravitybox.

I personally dislike most pie and edge type apps and my preferred launcher is adw EX but besides that I can really see your point.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] AesopRock127:
I have not noticed any of these issues on stock or RR except for out of state texts seem slow.... Take awhile to come in. Besides that though I do have to agree N is nothing special
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DB126:
Have two E4s in the family associated with Verizon. One totally stock; not rooted/unlocked; routinely takes OTAs. Other is BL unlocked, rooted, running stock 7.1 ROM from late 2017. Neither exhibit the symptoms you describe. Actually, quite the opposite. Rock solid performers.

Why would you think Oreo is going to solve your problems which are likely the result of heavy tinkering and incomplete restoration attempts?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] AesopRock127:
Not to be contrary but I'm on metropcs and I have literally none of these issues.

Not on RR and not on fully updated stock.

Not sure what happened with yours and maybe I just got lucky but the only thing that I couldn't do on fully up to date stock was install xposed.

I think that was because you need a patched boot IMG to get it running not sure.

Like I said before sometimes out of state texts take a while to come in but I'm talking 5 minutes later and not activated by a phone call like in your case.

My phone connects to my computers just fine with any old cable.

Can fastboot or transfer files to and from SD or internal and delete as well with no issues.

Maybe mines newer and they fixed it somehow because I've only had mine about six months but only started unlocking the bootloader a few weeks ago

Sounds like a serious PITA for you my friend I've been a loyal metropcs customer since they first came to my state and I've only had one problem phone from them so I'm sorry you've had such a crqp experience but believe me they either fixed the problem or like [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] said its more likely something botched.

Do they have twrp flashed on them?

Are they encrypted or not?

Just curious

Ive never had to take my SD card out I can even transfer files in TWRP mount section...
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DB126:
Did no such thing. Our E4s are associated with Verizon but not tied to that provider. As noted, one is bootloader unlocked with all of the associated magical powers (ooo!). Second remains locked and unrooted by choice; like 'dem OTAs. One does not have to purchase Verizon's crippled handsets to leverage their service. As for "better phones" (cough) your E4 hardware and mine are virtually identical. No more, no less.

Have no idea what transpired after unlocking but whatever happened your experiences don't mirror those of others.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] AesopRock127:
I got to agree with you there....

Difficult phones provide the opportunity to learn which is always a good thing, albiet frustrating at times.

MetroPCS just announced a rebranding to Metro by TMobile.

I was under the impression they used the same exact network since when TMobile bought Metro they gave me a free phone because my old one would no longer get a signal when they moved to TMobile network....

At least that's how they described it to me at the store.

But you notice a difference on TMobile over Metro?

I personally have no problems here in NH, works all over my state and the LTE literally screams, i sometimes even get a better speed test then my Xfinity.

The only issue I've had so far on my current setup is I no longer am notified of voicemails and visual voicemail won't load....

Not sure why that is but I can still check voicemails manually...

Is this an issue anyone has run into?

If so, anyone have a solution?

Was considering stopping at Metro and seeing if they could help, maybe it needs another Metro app or something but they will just tell me not to tinker with my phone and refuse to help me.

They are pretty ignorant of anything not involving selling a phone or normal everyday setup.

For a corporate store, they sure lack in the support department....
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DB126:
I never purchase carrier aligned/branded phones. I seek out the multi-service variant (eg: XT1768), wait for a sale and then add the (unlocked/rooted) device to whatever service I happen to be using at the time. I have neither the time nor patience to dink around with balky firmware. I also expect to be the master of my devices with no restrictions beyond those imposed by the HW itself. That requirement largely determines what gizmos make the short list.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DB126:
Never said that. A bit of upfront research makes all the difference. Been doing this for nearly 15 years; haven't bricked a handset yet and never experienced the boatload of woes others report. My phones just work.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladestorm82:
I've haven't rooted in years and came across a galaxy tab 2.3.4 that I rooted using odin. I've been looking to upgrade it to at least ics but if I can go higher that would be great too. I can't seem to find a good guide to help. Can someone point out some links to where I can download the ics or higher. A brief tutorial would be great too, if possible. Thanks in advance guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Guatiao:
I'm looking for options on having a transparent navbar on stock T-Mobile Oreo (non rooted device) using Nova Launcher. I just found out about Navbar Apps, which in itself is a cool app, but I understand why it can't make the navbar opaque or transparent.

Besides being rooted, are there any other options for this to happen? Thanks!

Thanks! Have you had any issues using it? I've also pondered using the XDA Navigation Gestures as an alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] razrlover:
0 issues using any of the themes I posted.

I came from pixel and pixel 2, I pretty much have a full pixel set up. I usually go with a pixel butt I have a TMobile plan that needed a upgrade so i got the S9. S9 had mods that could get me close enough to a pixel experiance.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] razrlover:
Nav gestures seemed like a possible alt a however i wasn't ready to pay extra to use the gestures i wanted to use.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] billabong7721:
Search Samsung theme store and search pie it'll bring these up they have the pie navbar in stock themes
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] virparam01:
See if you just want nav bar to be invisible, just try one plus gestures app from playstore, it will hide the nav bar and you can make the activation area for the app transparent and you can use all apps as if there is no nav bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Guatiao:
Thanks, I've been reading about it for a while now, but haven't decided to use it yet. It does seem like a great option.

Nah that option only works for a Mi band. You need to tap the device to confirm it when you try to add it.

Hi there, can anyone tell me how to copy the stock room from a note2 (4.1.1) to another note

I have two note2 one running Resurrection Remix and one with stock, I have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed on both but when I try to make a backup/recovery on the stock note2 im getting error message unable to backup to SD card.

Also on the resurrection remix note2 I cannot install gapps , I downloaded from here

Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkan:
Here's a picture of the error message, I've also tried to make a recovery file with TWRP with the same result.

View attachment 4606352
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas140:
I am not sure what happen on this.

If I were you, my way is just backup those chatting apps (Whatsapp, viber, Line,etc) since I can manually back them up under their settings and restore them easily.

For the rest of apps, I will take note which apps I need. Then find and redownload them back.

As for documents, pictures, music, videos, I will manually copy them out and restore back.

There's another way, use Titanium Backup, but your note got to be root.

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

And one more, gapps. I use the link below to choose and download. I am using Resurrection Remix for tolte currently too.

https://opengapps.org/
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkan:
Thanks for your reply, I will try this on the stock note2, so do I just back up to a external SD card and then transfer to my other note2 running reassertion?

however I am now getting the exact same error message (there was an error in trying to flash your recovery, unable to backup) on my custom ROM reassertion as well !

Both have root, I'm really just wanting to have play store and Viber on my custom ROM.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas140:
huh? For playstore, download the gapps from the link I sent just now.

I install using twrp without issue.

Way1:

For viber, there is a backup in the viber setting. but for text only. For the media , you need to manually move them.

Way 2:

Since you have root, use titanium backup to backup viber and restore it over to new phone. That's all.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkan:
Well I seem to have found a problem that obviously doesn't help, I can't install the Gapps package as per 1st photo.

I then tried your suggestion of using titanium backup and again I get a error message as per 2nd photo.

I then checked to see what was going on with Root checker and it shows my device running custom ROM reasurrection remix is not root, how could this be?

It was root before installing remix, really weird.

Not sure what my next step is to get everything working.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas140:
Titatium backup works for root device only. You said it was root before RR rom, but when you go this RR, do you find a way to root it? If not, go for root first will be good for you to proceed.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkan:
Hey I did manage to get Gapps installed, had to re flash the ROM and was then working.

Ok so I have to root the phone again,, I didn't know that by flashing a custom ROM that I would lose this feature.

Hopefully this isn't to hard to do with this ROM installed.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas140:
There is a sequence here.

1. a)Confirm your phone model, (N7105, N7100, etc...) Make sure the customs rom is for the exact model of your phone. Download the zip file and put in your phone or sd card.

b) Gapps- Go and download from the link I posted on previous link with below choices. Put the file in your phone or sd card.

Platform: ARM

Android: Choose the exact OS of the RR rom.

Variant: Nano

2. Backup your media and stuff to PC or sd card if you need them.

3. Flash TWRP via odin tool.

4. Boot into twrp recovery mode, install the RR rom first. After finish install RR rom, Don't choose clear cache/dalvik or reboot. Just press Back button to return to TWRP main screen.

5. Then, Install Gapps file that you downloaded. After done, clear cache/dalvik and reboot. Then should be done.

But I am not sure the RR rom you use got preinstall Magisk root or not. So I can't comment anything on the root.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkan:
Ok thanks for this information, I have followed your instructions and all is good except root, I'm looking into the Magisk Manager
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkan:
Also I noticed that only 2 custom ROM work on my note 2 (N7100) I've tried 4 others and they all get stuck on reboot (boot loop) they install without errors tho.

Can you recommend one in particular?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas140:
I am using RR made by kozmo21, it's for n7105 and magisk root is included.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-2/development-n7105/rom-resurrectionremix-v5-8-2-t3567769/page139

Here's the download link for the latest update he has done except magisk, you need to update by magisk manager:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904012906
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkan:
Ok so I have tried a number of different ROMs and unfortunately I cannot get root access, magisk cannot be installed with any of the ROMs I've tried because I get error message "unable to install as magisk needs Android 5.0 or higher", it's weird because the custom ROMs I've managed to install are based on 7.0.

Also I thought you must have root access to be able to flash custom ROMs ? Root checker and superSU both say no Root ! The whole thing is strange.

But I'll keep trying any suggestions that you can offer, as I brought two Samsung note 2 to experiment with ; )
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas140:
You may try the one I shared to you on previous message.

That one is RR from for n7105 with magisk root inside. I use it to flash without any problem.

If still got problem, try to flash the latest stock from (4.4.2), then install twrp. Reboot to twrp to wipe data, then install the RR rom. This work for me.

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Based on your screenshot, you are using hyper from, I'm not sure on that one as I never try that. The link I shared is the one I am familiar with .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkan:
Hi there, ok so unfortunately I can't try the one you suggested as the is for the n705 which cannot be flashed to the n7100

However with a lot of experimenting I have decided to go with Viper Rom with Root.

I have a tried quite a few ROMs without root and having to gain access to this as a separate item is not always as easy as one would think!

Magisk seems only to be available with the right kernel on certain ROMs but not all ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas140:
Ok, Now I get it. It is N7100 you are using. I keep on confusing on which you are using previously.

You can try this(RR rom For N7100), flash via TWRP:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-2/development/resurection-remix-n-5-8-5-20180825-t3837356

The RR rom above doesn't come with root. so try this way to go for Magisk root:

1) Go to this site: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

2) Download Latest Stable or Latest Beta. It will be downloaded as zip.

3) Place it under your sd card.

4)After the RR rom has been installed, reboot to twrp.

5) Install the magisk zip. Once installed, reboot to see whether magisk manager is installed or not.

Have you installed Spacer? It forces a blank space on the display and so the LG plugin does not scroll down.... See the specs here

Yeah I have spacer2 installed and tried various spacer heights, tried fixed and unfixed location but once the scrollbar is required by the number of items on the today screen the LG icons scroll also.

I tried reinstalling spacer2 but same problem. Incidently I installed everything in the same order as is indicated in the original thread.

In what order should LG buttons and spacer2 be when ticked as items to appear on the Today screen? I tried the LG buttons at the top under HTC Home but still scrolls. I've unticked spacer2 aswell but still no change.

Does spacer2 work ticked or unticked because neither seems to make a difference. Would this indicate that spacer2 is not working properly?

Thanks

Hi folks, long time reader, first few times posting however.

The short story:

Redmi Note 3 SD 625 password system corrupted, unable to access it.

Used Miko Tools to remove the lock function. Got access to phone.

The unlock process left me with MIUI 8 6.9.9 on the phone, and the

Wifi and BT are both stone cold dead.

I cannot seem to unlock the phone, it's being stubborn about that, however I can get the phone into EDL mode. I have put the phone into Dev mode, and enabled USB debugging.

My only choice to fix this dead Wifi issue, seems to be to flash a new ROM on it, but all these ROMS confuse the heck out of me, I dont know what to use. All this stuff, I have had to learn by reading, and it is on the absolute edge of my computer/tech limits of understanding.

Could someone please do an old guy a favour, and just suggest a stable, dependable, non flashy ROM, that has working Wifi on it, and let me know if I can flash the ROM using MiFlash in EDL mode.

Thanks a lot people. You saved my personal phone last year, lets see if you can rescue my sons one this time.
