Thanks for the ROM. It's smoother than most of the other ROMs I tried. I can't install Instagram for some reason, it says its not compatible on the play store. Apk for it works fine though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
Update your Gapps package to the latest version for ARM. That might fix that problem.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ovais_43:
Best ROM! :)

Only issue is NFC
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
I will look into fixing that in my next build.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] matchesmalonr:
Thank you. It fixed my problem
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dixon Butz:
This is the best rom since pure nexus! Def a keeper. Thanks!

Incredibly fast, stable and super battery life!

Screw pie! :victory:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
New build is up! Should have taken care of the NFC issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dixon Butz:
I don't see the new build. Still shows Oct. 11th upload date. And all mirrors show the 20181010 build?

I prob won't flash it since I don't use NFC. And EVERYTHING is working perfectly! :cool:

My cell data works amazingly with this ROM! I can send MMS in seconds. And it shows LTE on the signal bar. Haven't seen that in while.

It was horrible on pie. I missed an important text yesterday on pie. That was the last straw!

I am on Tello which uses Sprint.

Signature spoofing for microG?

I love omniROM and I'm happy to see it for the N6! I put Omniswitch on any ROM I use but I'd prefer to just run OmniROM.

Does this ROM have signature spoofing? I need that so I can install microG (for accessing google services without the google framework.)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
The ROM does support it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Is this really the code you're building from?

If yes, you're missing 12 months of security patches.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
The ROM is up to date on the security patch level. Working off of the September 5th 2018 security patch. I have been running this ROM as a daily driver and it is stable, light weight and pretty fast. I have already started on OmniROM pie as well. Even though this current build doesn't support custom kernels I found a module for fast charge. It's all open source which is great.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Maybe I am looking at the wrong branch of your kernel or I am blind, but the last CVE fixes I see are from december 2017.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
Something to look into but not an emergency. See I am an independent developer not bound to a specific set of device commits. At this point where Shamu is well past the official support it really comes down to giving the user a stable OS. All of that technical stuff is secondary. As long as the users are happy is all that really matters. This stuff is free.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hasitCN:
NFC can't open, use this patch can fixed

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
Thanks I will upload that to AFH and put a link in the OP to that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
It was just meant as a heads up. It's up to you how seriously you take security. But as I have patches for hundreds oft CVEs in LineageOS it should be the work oft half an hour to cherry-pick them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dixon Butz:
The notification light is not working for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
It doesn't seem to be implemented in this ROM and shamu doesn't support LEDs on stock.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dixon Butz:
Uggg. It is in settings. But it's not implemented?

Can a third party app be used to enable it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
It's implemented in the framework, but the device is missing a proper light hal.

I don't know if any app works, but there is no reason not to implement it for shamu.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
Light Flow is an app that can enable the notification led. I will look into adding a module to implement that in another build.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bigmarv31:
My GPS is not working,curious if anyone else is having any issues with it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dixon Butz:
Same here when I tried to used Torque app.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
What is this Torque app? Every app by that name comes up with checking OBD codes for automobiles. Have you tried Google Maps for GPS functionality?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dixon Butz:
Torque reads OBD and uses GPS for speed. Google maps didn't work properly. Got stuck in loops.

I have just now installed Lineage OS. Gonna stick with that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
A lot of commits seem to be missing for GPS to work properly.

https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/st..._gps+branch:lineage-15.1+topic:msm8084_update

Also afaik the gnss service is needed too like here:

https://github.com/elektroschmock/a...mmit/ae5fa2a9aea4fa11cf7ce5939912e69162c76ac5

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
Thanks I checked my local repo and the qcom_GPS folder was missing. I downloaded the missing files and I have another build running.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dixon Butz:
Can you add a notification light [MENTION=7543015]Rondeau79[/MENTION]? I still want to use this ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
I will look into that next. I has some personal stuff come up that has taken priority to working on the ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dixon Butz:
Any change log for the 26th build?

Works so well. Best ROM for N6!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rondeau79:
No big changes. This project has moved on to Pie. Oreo is stable and final.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] heider.raheem:
First thing i searched everywhere and find out am the only one with this problem....

The problem start after Oreo update first with random restarts and finally freezing screen.

i am now on Oreo update U4 september and the phone is very unstable with rabdom restarts and freezing on a black screen THAT EVEN DONT RESPOND TO FORCE RESTART !!!

So i need to wate till the phone loss all is battery then charging it, power it on to be able to flash official rom again and agian everytime this happen.

the phone can hold sometimes for 400-600 hours after flashing the offical rom and the the problem occure again

i start to believe theres something wrong with Oreo on this phone..So the last thing to do to make sure there is nothing wrong with Hardware i need to Downgrade to Nougat 7 but when i do that using Oden (flashing AP and BL) it show me error ..So i hope someone can help me with another method to downgrade to Nougate or even figure out whats the main problem that cause all this...

sorry for my bad english hope you can help :(:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Since your on bootloader version 4 (u4) you won't be able to downgrade to nougat which is why you are getting errors in Odin. When flashing firmware do you use CSC or home CSC.

Not sure if it's hardware related or not but if you are getting up to 400 - 600 hrs out of it I would say it:s software related. There are some apps on playstore for hardware test to try if you like. One issue I have had is the processor running to hot and causes me some issues to the point you can't do anything until it cools down.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] heider.raheem:
i use Home CSC ... and i am sure its not the heat that cause the freezing its happen even when device cool.... This weird behavior doesnt have a constant form... most of the time the freezing happen during the first few minuts during setup device ...FORGET TO MENTION ....in TWRP recovery the device is feeling very well and run smooth without any issue at all... is there something to do now in your openion can solve this?

and if not... what samsung can do for the device to bring it life again?... thanks for your replays:)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
I would think if it is hardware related than the issues would also happen in recovery and/or download mode. I have heard of other people having issues when flashing firmware with home CSC.

Some things I would personally try are:

1. You could try smart switch and check for latest firmware or recovery option.

2. Run in safe mode see if that makes a difference

3. In recovery wipe cache/dalvik and reboot

4. In recovery factory reset

5. Flash firmware again with CSC not home CSC.

Problems with options 1,4,5 is you will need to backup your apps and data etc. Option 5 you will have to reinstall twrp.

These options aren't in any order so I would start with 3 first see how it goes then 2 see how it goes then ,1,4 and 5 and see how it goes for each step.

Let me know how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] heider.raheem:
Actually steps 1,3,4,5 all have been tried before without making difference but i never tried to run in safe mode (step 2)... i should tried it.... but now i cant cause one of the freezing form and the most occuring one is when blue screen with android logo at the center that appear befor the samsung logo (trying to erasing data befor the first boot after flashing a new rom)...so i have to download a nother oreo firmware from sammobile to make it run ...sorry if i make it complicated for you but this is how my device acting very weird....

Do you think its somthing wrong with Oreo in this s8+ that can be solved when downgraded to Nougat or Upgaraded to Pie maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Just curious what firmware version are you using.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] heider.raheem:
i use now Oreo G955FXXU4CRI5
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Is it working ok or still same problem
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] heider.raheem:
its froze right now it cant even get to samsung logo...and even if i flash the ROM again and get it work it will freez after maximum 600 hours (thats happened 3 times):confused:
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xabiersanchez:
Hello guys,

After a while I decided to change the screen of my opo because it was broken and i wanted to give it some use, so yesterday I got the screen that I bought and I changed it. It looked half light and the other half dark, like burned, so I decided to see if everything was well connected. It was all ok but I made sure everything was set correctly, but now when I turn it on, the screen lights up a few seconds and goes off, but the phone turns on, I can block, unlock the phone but I can't see anything. Any solution?

Thank you!

Since HTC stiffed us I reported them to my local news in Charlotte NC I did the Whistleblowers 9 thing maybe they'll get some publicity started and force HTC to do something under the fear of looking like crap on TV has anyone else tried reporting to a major news room? if not maybe enough of us can flood a news room and make them do something, im pretty sure just 1 report's not going to do anything but we'll see. I know good and well if this hits the TV they will have to do something.

If its about the iphone, they may. But its about the tilt, not so much popular.

No, I havent talked to them yet, I just did it yesterday about 7:00 if I am ever going to here anything it should be today I gave them a whole bunch of articles to look at ranging from the bounty page to the HTC classaction site.

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] BA20020:
Hi folks, I'm looking at getting a Simple Mobile brand Moto G6 (specs line up with the ALI version, not the Play or Plus) through Best Buy for my wife since it is quite a bit cheaper than the normal price ($130 right now), and I'm expecting it to be preloaded with Simple Mobile's crapware which is part of why I'm looking at firmware for replacement.

It doesn't say what the exact model of the Simple Mobile phone is, but it's labeled "SMMTXT1925DG3P5P" and since it is being marketed in the USA, I would assume that it's the XT-1925-6. I could be wrong about that.

After speaking with a Best Buy rep at the store, it seems that the SIMple Mobile version of phones are locked to their service for the first 6 months, after which they give you a code to unlock the phone to be used as normal (quite the annoyance).

This leads me to a few questions:

Is the G6 ALI firmware listed here on XDA the unlocked version of the firmware?

I don't see any explicit version list that the 'stock' firmware is for. Does it work with the XT-1925-6?

If so, would using that firmware be the correct course of action for replacing the Simple Mobile brand firmware, or would there be a better solution?

Any input is appreciated.

Just FYI, I have experience with other (older, circa 2012 - 2015) android phones and devices rooting and flashing replacement ROMs, so not a complete novice at this kind of thing but out of the loop for a while.

Also - I had posted this a few days ago in the firmware thread, but lacking any response I thought this might be a better place to ask about it.

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] ninjakira:
1.to be brutally honest with you Don't come on here thinking because you have rooted a few phones from 3-5 years ago you get what's going on. Root methods have changed since then especially for these phones the root for any g6 model is a little Advanced and there alot of junior members come on here thinking because they rooted a phone once they don't have to read anything in the guide then they wind up bricking there phone. 2. As long as it can be bootloader unlocked you should be able to flash the firmware for your device as long as you can 100% confirm it is the ali device but also if your flashing a firmware not made specifically for your phone you run into the risk of bugs and possible bootloop. 3. There different variants of the xt1925 some are like xt1925-1 or the Verizon model is xt1925-12 the tracphone version however is just plain xt1925. 4. Your best bet is either buying the g6 unlocked or wait 6 months to have it sim unlocked tbh
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] BA20020:
Thank you for the words of caution. I am extremely careful when it comes to modding my devices, and there have been a couple times when I decided against it for no other reason than I couldn't get thorough enough information and details about what I would be trying to do.

I will be purchasing this G6, I will check what model it is when I get it, and I will consider just keeping it on the Simple Mobile plan for 6 months if I think there's any likelihood of having issues with the replacement firmware. I've also been reading a bit about issues that people have been having with modding the bootloader just to get TWRP installed or bricking their phones, so I'm getting the picture that these aren't the easiest to work with. I will continue reading and try to be as prepared as possible if and when I decide to start in on the G6.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Xplorer4x4:
They aren't the hardest device to mod. [MENTION=7843264]ninjakira[/MENTION] has a great guide but I forget if it is for the G6 or 6 Play. Since he didn't reference it, I'm assuming it's for the G6 Play. When you get the device, feel free to post back for help on deciphering whether or not the device is truly an Ali. I suspect it is, but you will be helping out the community so that we can help future members that might get the SimpleMobile variant.

Now on to Simple Mobile, I hate tracphone with a passion. More so Simple Mobile then all the others. I will say I used Straight Talk for many years without any major problems. SimpleMobile was a nightmare. They lied to me multiple times about issuing a refund. They blocked the device, initially, from being used on another Tracphone service, and it wasn't even due to the 6 Month policy. I don't know their exact policy but the 6-month rule was never even brought up. Eventually, I had to go through Tracphone Corporate to get my refund. I also had issues with reception, but maybe it was device related. I didn't use the device long. It was a cheap ZTE prepaid just to get me by until I had the funds for a proper upgrade. I will never ever use Simple Mobile in anyway shape or form. The only reason I used them was because of the prepaid devices I looked at, it had the best specs.

Side note: Your links don't work. I guess you copy and paste the links from somewhere other than your address bar. Wherever you copied the links from, they were truncated (the ...) already. So you pasted the truncate url instead of the full url.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] ninjakira:
My guide is more or less a cleaned up and somewhat simplied one for the Moto g6 play, but from what I've read from the regular g6 thread it was similar to how we needed a patched boot.img and fstab file to turn off for encryption and dm verity but since magisk 16.7 all that's needed anymore is a patched twrp and then installing magisk which patches the boot.img and everything else needed to turn off force encryption and dm verity. As long as you take the time to fully read the guides you should be successful in achieving root on any of the Moto g6 variants though. Android 8 really is the game changer on all this and partly the reason it's harder to get custom roms going though because of all the new security updates. So once the devs become more well acquainted with Android 8 as well as gsi ( generic system images) and a/b partitions we should see a general improvement on custom rom development for all phones including ours like we have seen with Android 7 and below.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] BA20020:
Thank you for the warning about Simple Mobile. I will avoid them if at all possible, but first I would like to see what I can do with this phone when it arrives.

As for the links, I had copied and pasted a large portion of the original post to this one, and looks like it messed up the links. Let me try that again:

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] BA20020:
I have received the phone, and it appears to be a XT-1925DL. This obviously complicates things.

This website seems to equate the 'DL' version to XT-1925-10 and gives an outline for getting TWRP setup on it:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Mr.Nice.ba:
Even if you flash 6X kernel, you wont have option in settings to enable it.

If you want double tap to wake, flash miui 10 or AOSP extended ROM. Both works flawless.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] johnsci911:
I tried AOSP rom but fp is not available, face unlock is not available even reinstalling Gapps micro, and using Gcam is not working

I guess I have to wait for the update or other roms to come

I was thinking using kernel adiutor but I guess its not possible too on stock rom
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Mr.Nice.ba:
Use custom rom for 6x not a2. You need to convert to 6x first. Flash AOSP extended, not aosp gsi rom. AOSP extended is oreo based and do not have any bugs, but you have all tweaks you want.

Use open gapps nano 8.1. face unlock works and everything else.
