I'll probably stray from stock again and Lineage has been calling me as my G4 ages into its third year of use. A couple crashes per week doesn't sound too bad considering the Pie ROMs I tried were more prolific at it. 32-bit seems the way to go for this phone. Good luck with the G7.
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jwieland:
During the short time that I ran 32-bit ArrowOS 9, I never had a crash. If it had been able to run the apps that I use, I probably would have stayed with it. -- the Roku app wouldn't run either btw.

Moto G4 xt1625 retail on Verizon currently.

OK, just set this up using the version posted by [MENTION=8495635]pankajkh[/MENTION] in post #478,

TWRP-athene-OPJ28.111-22-1-@athene_stuffs.zip along with the latest Magisk.

I was already unlocked and had TWRP 3.2.1-0 with Lineage 7.1.2 running.

Past couple of weeks I started to experience random reboots and shutdowns and really crappy performance.

I did notice that it seemed to occur when the battery level was down around 50% and I was using 'voice' in an app.

And also it seemed that the power level would 'plummet' after it got below 50%.

It would happen even when I hadn't been engaged in any phone conversations during the day, then all of sudden it would be in the 'red'.

In TWRP I wiped everything - twice... except for 'internal storage'.

Installed the ROM first off and then I fat fingered 'reboot system' (of course) before I could install Magisk.

Device rebooted twice and then the setup screen came up no problem.

I keyed it back to recovery and installed Magisk and so far only two problems.

Battery is dying like a brick.

In the first 48 minutes since it's last full charge it is down to 80% with the screen on for 16 mins... hmmmmmm.

Then after a power off and reboot it is at 55% and falling fast. (oh-oh)

And I have not got SU to work yet...

-=-EDIT-=- Something funky with Magisk, had to go in and set permissions to 'Allow' for Root Explorer and a couple of others. Did not display a prompt at all.

One thing I noticed during the initial first two boots was that when 'Hello Moto' plays, the second time it was quite a bit lower than the first boot.

Seems OK now. I had problems with audio volume on 7.1.2 before, hopefully that's fixed.

Shout out and Thanks to [MENTION=6324159]rajatgupta1998[/MENTION], [MENTION=4481495]Jleeblanch[/MENTION], [MENTION=8495635]pankajkh[/MENTION] and others I've failed to list, for keeping this device viable.

This sounds like my first experience with a TWRP flashable ROM: apps crashing, random reboots, Magisk losing root and other weirdness. EX Kernel Manager also showed hot temps while its CPU graph was off the charts, so the battery was probably going flat faster although I didn't pay much attention to that with so much else going wrong.

My mistake was allowing TWRP to mount the /system partition as read+write when it should have been kept read-only. Everything fell into place (Oreo, Magisk, ElementalX) after doing a thorough wipe of everything and making certain TWRP mounted /system as read-only when prompted. TWRP shows this prompt only once first time it's run. Wiping /system triggers the prompt again.
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] middle_road:
oh yeah, now I remember reading something about that today before I pulled the trigger and flashed it.

Went through so many threads and posts earlier trying to figure how & what to do, that I became a bit overloaded and numb.

It's functioning now, and has been holding steady at 55% since I made my post a couple of hours ago, so something is a bit odd.

I have never come across having to leave /system RO on any device I've ever done.

I'm going to go investigate ElementalX now. Seen mention of it but have not ever tried it.

Thanks for the pointer.

-=-EDIT -=-

Just rebooted into recovery to check and see if /system might be RO - it wasn't.

Although here's something interesting, battery was at 55% at reboot, once TWRP came up it was reporting 45%, and now booted back into the system it's at 45%. Dropped 10% on a boot. It's always something. . .

[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] matiaslaporte:
Maybe you have battery issues? I had the same problem, gigantic battery drops while rebooting, and the phone shutting down when being asked to do too much, sometimes above 50%, but almost always below 50%. Changing the battery solved these issues.
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manjaroid:
Custom kernels never interested me until it came time to root my G4 back when it ran 7.0 Nougat. 'Systemless' root was something new to me and while doing my homework I came across warnings about not using Magisk with the stock kernel to avoid boot loops, and that ElementalX solved the problem. This is apparenty a Nougat thing and as far as I know, Magisk is safe to use with the stock kernel on 8.1.0 Oreo. But you won't regret using ElementalX and the $4 spent on EXKM goes a long way.

There was also a tip somewhere about the flashing sequence. Contrary to the installation instructions on the ElementalX web site, I recall someone on XDA suggested flashing the kernel BEFORE flashing Magisk; and to wipe Dalvik cache before and after flashing Magisk.

i.e., after flashing Android reboot into TWRP and --

- flash the kernel

- wipe (don't reboot)

- flash Magisk

- wipe

- reboot to Android

- verify root in Magisk Manager

Not sure it will make any difference for you but this routine has become habit for me whenever I end up going back to Oreo after a rough ride with one of many Pie ROMs available for this phone.
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] middle_road:
Take II - Got irritated with it around midnight.

Battery draining too quickly, like a fire hose on full. Tried flashing ElementalX and bought the manager off of Play Store also. No change.

Nuke & wipe time.

Factory reset in TWRP, then also an 'Advance Wipe' of all.

Reboot afterwards back into Recovery.

Propmted and I kept "/system" 'Read-Only' this time.

Flashed ROM and Magisk.

Rebooted into system and set it up.

Installed Root Explorer, SU went fine this time, and then knocked out that annoying bootanimation.zip.

Overnight, I let Play services sit with (24) updates being needed to see if it would update.

It didn't. Just tripped it manually.

Now to wait and see.

'Systemless' is new to me also. Perhaps I just haven't caught on yet.

If I end up doing a 'Take III' I'll need to follow this. -Thanks

Sounds like the behavior of mine. How much you want to bet this it? I haven't researched it yet - how hard is it to change the battery?
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] matiaslaporte:
I do not need to bet anything, thank you :laugh: . It isn't very hard... but I am used to open things up, and it was not my first battery change. There are plenty of tutorials available on YouTube, if you're careful you should be ok.
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manjaroid:
A tired battery is definitely something to rule out. The developer of EX kernel has an app called DevCheck. See what it says about battery health.

I believe battery kits and other parts from iFixit are original equipment.

[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] middle_road:
Tired battery or possessed? check this oddity out.

Came off the charger at 10am, phone just now died at 11:25pm. Made it 12 hours - not too bad. 15 mins worth of calls during the day.

So this evening I'm messing with EX manager, and decided to let it install the Kernal since I didn't preform that flash yet.

Battery was @ 35%.

It did the upgrade, install worked nice, rebooted and the phone came up @ 4% showing.

Ok, so I lost 30% on a boot. ....

Drops to 2% while I'm scratching my head.

So I decide to fire up YouTube - load up a documentary and let it play.

Would you believe that it ran for almost 50 minutes with 1% showing in the status bar? Finally crapped out. Didn't even show anything like a popup saying 'Shutting Down'.

[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manjaroid:
I reckon if the phone was really hot you would have noticed and mentioned it. Oddness like this reminds me of desktop or laptop computers with failing power supplies or cooling fans that stopped spinning.

You did mention flashing ElementalX with EXKM. If you decide to start over at some point, try flashing it from TWRP and then Magisk in the same session as I described before. I'm also wondering if your wiping and flashing steps may be slightly 'dirty' and not 'clean' enough. To make sure you start off as cleanly as possible, follow the steps outlined here: https://andi34.github.io/faq/faq_twrp.html

I've seen my Moto do strange things while connected to the rapid charger. But what you described is on battery power only. Maybe observe performance while the phone is connected to a computer's USB so that there's uniform power that's slow trickling instead of rapid charging. If the phone seems better I would suspect the battery.

My only other suggestion is to try using only stock Android (and recovery) but instead of the TWRP ROM use a fastboot ROM -- just to see if the phone gets closer to normal for a day or two without custom recovery, custom kernel and Magisk. If it's still no better after that I think you can narrow it down to hardware and hope that it's only a bad battery. Btw, I doubt there's any reason to re-lock the bootloader so you can probably skip that step if you flash with fastboot.

Hey man,

I was a user of moto g4 plus, before switching to Samsung in March this year(had to, Samsung sucks!) and very honestly my device had the same issues for about 2 months, like full charged suddenly shut down without a warning/pop up, battery draining like hell!, unstable at times and what not!

And that too on ressurection remix 6.2!! Which was super stable

And finally a day came(25 Feb to be precise) when I switched off before sleeping, and the phone never saw daylight.

Had a failed power IC, and it's irreplaceable, better get it checked and if possible take a backup
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] middle_road:
A failed IC? How wonderful. That might explain last night when I unplugged it from the car charger and it just died.

No flash, nothing showed on the screen. Just dead. Powered back up OK and worked the rest of the night fine.

Weird behaviour.

A friend gave me his MotoZ Play last night. I'll probably be messing with that this weekend.

I've not had a good year with phones. This will be #4...

If you're using Oreo build OPJ28.111-22-1 there's a Magisk module called MagiskHide Props Config that will solve this problem. You'll also need the BusyBox Magisk module by osm0sis if you don't already have a BusyBox package installed.

[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manjaroid:
Sorry, I made the assumption your failed CTS profile error came from Magisk Manager. Rooting with Magisk along with the Props Config module is the only way I know for build OPJ28.111-22-1 to get certified by Google Play Store and pass SafetyNet.

If you prefer not to use Magisk, the slightly older build OPJ28.111-22 does not have this problem so you could install that instead.

[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manjaroid:
No, I meant the version you've already installed. Apparently, a specific app is giving you the error. There may be no way around it unless you use 100 percent stock firmware (locked bootloader, stock recovery) or try the Magisk method. Maybe if you are more specific about your apps the problem can be pinned down.

Build OPJ28.111-22-1 is only a few months newer than OPJ28.111-22 but only the older one passes SafetyNet checks in Magisk Manager. That's why I assumed you had this particular problem.

For example i cant find the Netflix App in Google store...

Gesendet von meinem Moto G (4) mit Tapatalk
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manjaroid:
Netflix is one of many problematic apps for modified devices. In the Play Store app it probably says "Device not certified" toward the bottom of the Settings menu. Once it says "Device is certified" you've passed SafetyNet and Netflix should become available. I don't use Netflix on my Moto but there are posts in these forums about getting Netflix to work on a modified phone using Magisk and/or the Props Config module. Success with banking and other special apps will vary, and in some cases there are no workarounds.

Magisk and Magisk Manager should be enough to get Netflix running with your currently installed ROM. However, for the newer '22-1' build you'll need Magisk in addition to Props Config which fools Play Store into thinking you're using the '22' build.

If you decide to try Magisk be sure to download it from Github: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases

I suggest flashing it from TWRP and then install the Magisk Manager apk after booting back to Android.

If you've unlocked the bootloader, I do not know of a way to disable the bootloader warning (it's a standard warning message when the bootloader is unlocked) if you do not wish to relock the bootloader. Locking the bootloader requires flashing of stock firmware, else you'll brick your device if you try to lock without a full and clean flash. The easiest way is to cover up the bootloader warning by flashing a custom boot logo, though the delay will still be present. There's a collection of boot logos in the Moto G4 plus Themes section, for example:

[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manjaroid:
Since your goal is uprading official Nougat to Oreo and then possibly custom Pie -- and the bootloader is still locked -- running the official OTA update from Motorola seems like the simplest way to get there. Then unlock the bootloader with Oreo installed rather than Nougat. i.e., There's a way to get from A to B and possibly C without concern for the Oreo soak test. To install a custom Pie ROM you'll need an unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery. Root is your preference and isn't necessary.

My G4 Plus has custom Pie right now (Oreo baseband) so I can't verify the menus for you. I always thought the Autofill service was a standard feature, and Motorola's Android is about as standard as it gets next to Pixel. Although I didn't use Google's Autofill, I do recall having the service with Oreo because KeePass offered it. It's still that way with Pie and my three Autofill choices are None, Google or Keepass.

Are you hesitant to flash the TWRP OPJ28.111-22 ROM? Unless I'm mistaken your second SIM should be detected.
