[General Questions and Answers] Sonskyn:
Hey there, can anyone please help

I have rooted my note 8 and installed twrp recovery then flashed a few custom roms like I did previously with s3,s4,s5 and s7.

but when I got no mobile signal I started running into trouble, I couldnt fix it so read somewhere to flash efs.img which made it worse ...of course :(

I finally fixed the efs problem by using adb commands and was expecting to install a stock rom and get to get past the boot up logo but doesnt get there, I have ran out of options flashing everything

This is what I have now

#fail to open recovery_cause(no such file or directory)#

#reboot recovery cause is [UNKNOWN]#

support SINGLE-SKU

file-based OTA

supported API: 3

dm-verity verification failed...

the FRP lock: off

OEM lock : off

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubuntu118:
Hi.

I'm looking for official pre-Lollipop ROM (Major version 4) for SM-T285 or an official-looking Lollipop ROM which doesn't have FRP lock (if such things even exist). The reason is that bypassing FRP lock on 5.1.1 is totally impossible and I'm stuck with resetting a tablet on which one of our employees has had setup her Google account and now we don't have access to her (I didn't know she has had done so before factory reset). All the tricks I found online (USB via OTG, ADB, etc.) fail, each for a reason.

Any help is appreciated.

The thing is that I have installed TWRP and after successfully flashing magisk, the magisk manager says it's not installed. I've tried with several versions and same result. What I'm doing wrong? I've tried to flash SuperSu but this one gives me error.

Thanks.

My G6 Play (JETER-SPRINT), just recently had it's screen die. I replaced it with an E5 Play, because it was cheaper. I would love to get another G6, but unfortunately my lack of money does prevent me from doing so. My G6 Play and my E5 Play both had their screens die, and I've gotten an E4 (PERRY-TMOBILE), as well as an unmoddable phone.

A few questions:

A) Did you unlock your bootloader?

B) Do you have TWRP installed?

C) Have you disabled DM Verity

If you answered no to A, that's your problem.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] cjscustomcomputers:
Yes I did unlock the boot loader right when I got the phone and rooted it and installed TWRP and I haven’t disabled dm verity, but i will do it after class.

Thank you so much for helping me out here!
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] the-her0:
No problem, is it up and running?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] cjscustomcomputers:
Its running!!

so i got it running the problem was dm verity, i followed the steps on the website and it didn't work the 1st time so i reformatted all the partitions with TWRP and used adb fastboot to install the stock ROM and to my surprise it worked. since the TWRP recovery was replaced with the stock one i reinstalled TWRP and booted onto recovery and installed the DM verity on the stock rom and tried AOSP gsi and it booted up perfectly and i installed the android GO gapps and its faster than a dream. i was having a problem with audio so i tried installing V4A and it fixed all the audio problems except the earpiece when making calls.

I would like to contribute to this thread because the moto g6 play needs more attention, so could the readers of this thread send me roms you would like me to test.

Thank you soooo much her0.

[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Roxasmaker:
A couple solutions for problems I ran into.

No Play Protect Certification when using Gapps:

This one is very easy to solve. First, install your GSI of choice, but do not install Gapps. Install Magisk as well. Then you want to boot, and go straight to Magisk and install the MagiskHide Props module. Then go to https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239421 download Osmosis Busybox and install through Magisk. Reboot and download your favorite Terminal Emulator on APKPure. Install it and open, type "props" without the quotes and press 1 to edit your fingerprint, follow the instructions and set it to the Moto G6 Play but don't reboot when asked. When at the main menu again, Press 2 and then choose the first option and enable it, this time reboot when asked. Load into TWRP and install Gapps, no need to clear cache or anything.

Audio is choppy:

Simply enable the equalizer.

[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] EtoileLabrie:
Can anyone say is the general usage acceptable/quick/clean with pie -> with regard to battery life and speed? Especially from people with AOSP or other ROMS (without google play). I tried phh-treble AOSP with g5 and found it to be very slow (animations, appdrawer). Would be happy if some one could make some youtube-video or so with g6 play!

Thanks
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
Stock Pie is very smooth and has good battery life if it's debloated. GSIs vary greatly because none are built specifically for our device. They're hit and miss. You can prevent most of the lag on GSIs by opening the developer options and setting "transition animation scale" to 0.5x.

I manage to get data working (MMS and all) by replacing apn.config.xml with one from my RR install and then deleting all the extra apns that settings would allow me to that weren't whited out then added the boost internet APN. For some reason the browser that was installed previously wouldn't work so I side loaded one from XDA labs to get things going.

Please give as much details as you can so that people can help.

How did you install the gsi? What gsi is it that you are using? What twrp recovery are you using? Did you do a full wipe before installing the gsi? I know this can be a pain in the butt at times trying to explain things but the more detailed information that you give, the more help we can try and give back. :)

[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ry755:
Oh sweet! I didn't know if you were planning to make a pull request for your overlays so that's why I asked. :)

How did you make the overlay for the rounded corners? I'm wondering if there's some way I can combine Adaptive Brightness and rounded corners into one overlay.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
I've honestly never made a pull request on GitHub. I wouldn't know where to begin with that. The most I've done is pull files and compile some tools.

I used Substratum + Substratum Curve + lucky patcher. I used substratum and Curve to create the corner overlay. Then I pulled it from my system and gave it a signature with LP, so that it can run as a standalone app. You can do that with any theme or overlay. (I think.) There's much less overhead too, since no theme engine is required.

Edit: I do think combining them is possible.

I'm using it since a few months and works great and very smooth, just the same issues of all treble roms. It's installed by the same steps as other GSIs. It doesn't need additional zips, patches or so.

phh's aosp is working perfectly fine in my 1922-4, except por alarms, which was fixed by installing google's clock app.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ry755:
The pull request got merged a couple weeks ago, and the overlay is included in phh's AOSP v119.

It might be possible to combine them, but it would have to be unofficial (not included in phh AOSP) because phhusson requires SystemUI overlays to be separate, and made differently than how you did it.

(Sorry for the very late reply...)

edit: Also, do you know why boot animations don't work on the Jeter model? They work fine on the Aljeter model iirc
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
By pure coincidence I saw that earlier today. I downloaded it this morning and decided to take a look. Thank you for that!

Boot animations need to go in /oem/media for the Jeter. Same permissions as the old spot. rw-r--r-- or 0644. Just a heads up, if there's one in both spots, then usually no boot animation will play. So make sure that the one in /system/media gets deleted. We can use mp4, png, and jpeg boot animations. I think the only kind that won't work is Samsung's qmg format.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ry755:
No problem, I'm glad I was able to help! :)

AOSP doesn't have a bootanimation.zip in /system/media. I tried copying the bootanimation.zip from oem to system but it still wouldn't play. Same thing when renaming /oem/media/bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak, leaving only the one in system. I made sure the permissions were set correctly.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
I think you might have it backwards. It needs to be placed in /oem/media to work. If it's in /system/media it won't play. And if there's one in both places it also won't play.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ry755:
I've tried it 3 different ways though. Once with it only in oem, once with it only in system, and once with it in both. All 3 times it only showed the bootloader's "bad key" screen until it finished booting. I've been using the bootanimation.zip from the latest stock Pie rom.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
It definitely sounds like you did everything correctly and troubleshooted this in all possible ways. It might be the bootanimation lib that's included in AOSP. You could try replacing the one in /system/lib. I've attached the one from stock Pie. I had to zip it because XDA reasons.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ry755:
Thanks! I ended up restoring my stock backup because I needed to use my phone for other things, but I'll give this a try next time I flash AOSP.

I noticed that the stock Pie rom has two different bootanimation.zip files, one in system and one in oem. Looks like it uses the one in oem by default, the one in system is the older animation from Oreo.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ry755:
Just tried this, it still doesn't work :/

I asked [MENTION=9758590]Kuntitled[/MENTION] on Telegram about it, and he said GSI boot animations work fine on his Aljeter. So then I guess something else is broken with Jeter.
