Hey Rondeau79, thanks for all the good work!!!!

Do you have any input on the latest crDroidAndroid-10.0-20200721-ocean-v6.8.zip?

I have seen no mention on this or other sites & would be interested in trying it, unless you have another update coming soon....
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Rondeau79:
Please don't use any CrDroid 10.0 build off my AFH account. They are simply uploaded there for my testing purposes.

All officially released builds are found at Sourceforge.

Thank you!
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] googleverifysux:
Roger that. Good to know.

Thanks again!

Solid ROM for a Solid Phone

First off, many thanks to Rondeau79. I purchased the G7 Power specifically for 4 reasons:

My BlackBerry Priv was getting long in the tooth.

I wanted whatever new phone I purchased to have great battery life.

I wanted whatever new phone I purchased to have a straightforward bootloader unlocking process.

I wanted there to be an official LineageOS-based ROM available for said phone.

Thanks to your work on CrDroid, all four criteria were met, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This ROM runs great on the G7 Power, and after 9 years of being out of the loop in regard to custom ROMs, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Just a couple of notes:

A. The "Reply via SMS" button on notifications from the default Messages application does nothing (though clicking on the notification itself does bring one to the relevant text message in the application). After a little digging, it seems that current releases of LineageOS (on which CrDroid is based) have lost the ability to quickly reply to a text message within the notification area, so maybe this option should be removed from the notification until said feature is restored.

B. A crucial step in getting this ROM to successfully flash was running:

fastboot erase userdata

from the console before Step 5 under the Preparation for A/B Roms section, and again after Step 3 in the ROM - Installation section. Until I did this, my G7 Power would not successfully boot into CrDroid.

Otherwise, thumbs up across the board. Running this with magisk and opengapps nano. Great stuff, and thanks again!

Hi, which AB/Zip file are you using for it? I was able to flash the rom and bootup fine but I'm still on stock firmware seems like CrDroid 10.0 wasn't flashed on one of the partition.

Edit: when I boot into Slot B I boot into LineageOs, when I boot into Slot A I boot into Stock. I wonder why? I already flashed AB before I flashed LineageOs.

[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] zfk110:
I used the same file for AB, but when I boot into Slot B I boot into LineageOs, when I boot into Slot A I boot into Stock. I wonder why? I already flashed AB before I flashed LineageOs. I also wiped, format both slots
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Rondeau79:
When you flash a ROM on an A/B device it gets installed to the opposite slot. If on A and flash it will be I installed on B and vica versa.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] zfk110:
So install on B? Then it will be on A, then what's on Slot B sitting? Any data or just empty slot b?
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Rondeau79:
If you wipe both slots before flashing then the empty slot will be just that empty. After an update either manually or OTA the empty slot will become the active slot.

Some people run 2 ROMs on their devices but I don't recommend doing that.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] zfk110:
How you can remove encryption from it? Whenever I do format encryption goes away, but when I boot back into twrp it comes back again.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Rondeau79:
​

Don't use a lock pin, password, pattern or fingerprint pass on the ROM. If you enable a lock screen pass then encryption will persist.

Just set a lock screen pin and remember it in TWRP.

It's there for security.

GPS doesn't work? Using the GPS checker apps from play store I see all satellites around me and compass is working. I've changed all the settings and it should work, has anyone else ran into this
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] zfk110:
I had none, btw I went back to stock I gave up on LineageOS, since whenever I try to use Magisk it bootloop, and with encryption it was hard to use it anyway.

How do I find 31032020 version? I have a XT1955-5 and I am looking for SIM and WIFI operation.

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

I found a V5 - crDroidAndroid-9.0-20200312-ocean-v5.12.zip https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261743870 not sure if this is even close to 31032020 version?
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] gllb94:
no network

I'm not allowed to post a link to sourceforge ... so here is the name of the file : crDroidAndroid-10.0-20200331-ocean-v6.4.zip (I think that the one I used but it's a v6)

But since that I did update 3-4 times and everything went smoothly :), today I updated on v6.8 and again ... no network connection ... :crying: so not sure it's related to the version or it's more of a russian roulette at each upgrade.

Do you guys have any idea how it could have happen ?

And on top of that I can't upload any "big" file (~600MB) with adb either using sideload or push.

I'm kind of stuck now...
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ballerd:
Cant you mount from your computer using mtp bro
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] gllb94:
Yes I can but from twrp it need to be decrypted and I don't know how to do that. Anyway the thing with adb got nothing to do with crDroid ROM, it's a bug from my laptop and I found a workaround.

The problem is I've no data connection on the latest version and when I try to downgrade it just jump to recovery. I really don't want to erase data and app :crying:

Is it normal to not be able to boot after dirty flash an older version ? or should I try older ?
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ballerd:
You can try adb shell while in recovery then type twrp sideload then try decryption flashable zip if not have you tried removing pin from rom also you should be able to use twrp command that could help let me know without seeing your phone I will go home and try see what I can do
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] gllb94:
Thanks, I'm able to flash ROM from twrp now, the problem that I have is I have no network connection after flashing the latest version, and it seems that every older ROM that I flash just don't boot... I guess I have to do a clean flash and remove my data/app and cross finger ...

Video apps cause reboot

I must have gotten lucky as I installed this without doing the A/B partitions. It installed on A, which I hope is ok. The problems I have are TWRP was replaced by a Lineage recovery, and I can’t get TWRP to install, when I sideload it the screen won’t do anything, can’t press the buttons which makes it impossible? To install Magisk. When I try to watch a video in apps like Netflix, HBO/MAX etc the phone reboots. I am assuming this is from the lack of Magisk. Can I fix this, or do I need to start over? Thanks in advance.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] danny8:
Boot your phone into TWRP using a PC or laptop running ADB with phone connected to PC with USB cable. Then flash the TWRP zip file onto the ROM.

You will need to download both the IMG and ZIP files for the recommended TWRP version.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Akenomyces:
Thanks for the reply, when I try to fastboot into twrp this happens:

Well, nevermind that, I can't show an image here. Basically it says some stuff about an unmodified system partition and allowing updates.

I am unable to swipe or "press" any of the buttons either, the screen is frozen.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] roadkill42:
This one should give u touch
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Akenomyces:
Hey thanks for the reply,

That is the one I'm trying to install but it freezes when booting from the .img, I can't get far enough to install the .zip. Also, I tried changing to A and B but it says that is invalid. The set active commands.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] roadkill42:
Put the twrp image in your adb folder and put the zip on ur SD card then put phone in fastboot mode.Then in your terminal type fastboot boot (then the name of the recovery) them hit enter in about 3 sec it will boot into the recovery with touch
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Akenomyces:
That's exactly how I did it, but when I do the fastboot boot twrp.img it loads, but then screen freeze before I can do first swipe.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] roadkill42:
Never heard of that on fastboot boot twrp. Go to the tellagram Moto g7 support group can help u easer

[MENTION=10903009]Akenomyces[/MENTION]

I have had situation where TWRP booted from fastboot and was not responding to touch (vol and power buttons were ok). I used OrangeFox recovery instead to flash the ROM and TWRP images.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] roadkill42:
Try this one should not freez put it in ur phone storage internal or ext then fastboot boot recovery then look for the twrp installer then flash it then reboot recovery then check if u have touch
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rkapl:
So some experience with this ROM: In general works very well. I did not have too much time to play around, but at least audio, wifi, bluetooth, mobile, proximity, LEDs, GPS, accel. sensors is ok. Performance is also good, has very smooth feeling.

Now for the minor issues encountered:

The TWRP stuff -- I know it is not author's fault, but it is barrier to entry.

NFC (more on that later)

Color saturation and other display parameters can not be adjusted

By Default, the rounded edges clipped the battery percentage (very minor, can be fixed in settings)

The email app was missing required permissions by default, the whitelist XML file seems to be missing. This probably has nothing to do with board adaptations, maybe one-of fluke or CrDroid specific.

I would recommend to fill in the known issues list with what crops up, you will at least avoid some repeated bug reports.

Now for the NFC stuff. The ROM has NFC stuff left enabled, Android tries repeatedly to start the NFC service which repeatedly crashes. You can see the churn in logcat. For now I've quick-fixed this by removing these files:

/vendor/etc/permissions/android.hardware.nfc.hce.xml
/vendor/etc/permissions/android.hardware.nfc.hcef.xml
/vendor/etc/permissions/android.hardware.nfc.xml

The positive side-effect is that my idle-with-screen-on power consumption measured by Ampere went slightly lower. Or at least it seems so, I did not do very controlled measurements. There is already a related patch in Lineage in the android_device_motorola_sdm632-common repo, d01e5707e5ed74aef8fc5e72112f4ee603046f27. I will try to test it if I have time and I manage to setup the build.

I have the MetroPCS version. Have been running the last official version of crDroid 9 for some time now and just got around to updating to the latest version of 10 (crDroidAndroid-10.0-20200714-ocean-v6.8.zip). Did a clean install. Everything seems to work except that it won't see my simcard. I took it out during the install, would that be the problem? It was working fine before, can't seem to figure out the problem. Anybody else have this happen?
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] roadkill42:
Put it back in do factory reset
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] AlreadyFree:
Well I got it to recognize the simcard (I had installed the latest retus firmware but thought it was causing a problem so reflashed the earlier working version I had used before but turns out the newer version updated the bootloader which apparently can't be rolled back and wasn't compatible with the older retus firmware). But now, even though it recognizes there's a simcard inserted and can even tell the network I'm unable to get mobile data or phone/text service. I tried updating the apn.xml according to an earlier post in this thread but that didn't change anything.

Update: I just realized that the retus firmware i used is slightly newer (7/16/20) than the crdroid10 rom (7/14/20), would that cause an issue?

Update 2: Well I went back and tried crdroid 6.7 and the mobile service works fine on there so I guess it's just an issue with 6.8. There were a few earlier posts that mentioned it too. It's a pity because 6.8 seems to work better as far as everything else. Strange that such a big flaw hasn't been patched in the last 2 months.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] arnoldpalmernold:
Thanks for the info about NFC. Since moving those XML files out of their original location I have seen a noticeable improvement in battery life on this already long-lasting phone.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Rondeau79:
I have the Metro version of this device and I am running version 6.8. I have no sim/data issues.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] AlreadyFree:
Well I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong then. 6.7 works fine. I tried updating to 6.8 from 6.7 by installing into the inactive slot but it still claims I have no service. Switched back to the slot with 6.7 on it and everything works again. GAPPS wouldn't be a necessity for cell service would it? Also used the 7/16/20 RETUS firmware as the base. Which one did you use?
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Rondeau79:
I have not flashed stock firmware in months. I always use a Metro version when needed. I have been running CrDroid ever since I built it.

Backup your data with Titanium or Migrate.

Then do a clean install.

Might solve your problem. Always make a full backup of stock firmware in TWRP you need persist and efs backed up just in case you lose baseband and IMEI.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] AlreadyFree:
Yeah, I've been using your Pie version of CrDroid since I got this phone, almost a year ago now. I did a clean install moving from Pie to Q. So that's not the issue.

And I just meant flashing the firmware to do a clean install. As far as I know you have to have the firmware on there before flashing a custom rom.

Maybe I need to use the Metro firmware. I seem to remember there being some benefit to using the RETUS instead, that's why i switched, but it's been so long ago i don't remember what it was.

Update:

Nope. Just flashed the latest Metro firmware + CrDroid 6.8 with the same results. No service. I wonder if I screwed up by using the latest firmwares. Now I seem to remember reading some warning about not using the newer ones because it updates the bootloader and it's impossible to roll it back and then that causes a problem of some kind. I'll have to try to find that post.

Wow! Yay! I don't know what you did, and i don't know you know what you did, but the new version fixed my issue with No Mobile Service.

It's weird that we both have MetroPCS phones but yours worked fine with 6.8 and mine couldn't connect to the network but something changed between 6.8 and 6.9 that effects service on some Metro variants. If you're curious enough you might be able to figure out what it was ;)

And thanks for the night light too.

Updated this morning via the built-in update function after receiving the notification.

Boot-up looks completely normal but after turning the screen off and on again the display colors go crazy, it looks like a very reduced color palette. Screenshot does not capture the issue - which is informative in itself - so I don't have an easy way to display the bug.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] AlreadyFree:
I got that too after the first boot. But multiple boots later and i haven't noticed it happen again
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Irregular_Person:
I've rebooted 3-4 times with the same result. Everything is fine until the screen is turned off and on. Colors are all kinds of wrong/missing.

Looking at this RGB color wheel image on Google, green is missing, blue is missing, magenta is missing, cyan is blue, yellow is purple.

Haven't had any color issues yet, but I did lose haptic feedback hitting the "back" button. Usually I get a little vibration whenever I hit back, home, or recents, now I only get it when I hit the home or recents. Was this an intentional change, can I revert it?

Notification Led also broke with this update. It's not turning on when I get screen off notifications.

Also, it feels so much snappier and faster after this latest update. I don't know why. Looking forward to color profiles getting fixed. Finally, I noticed those NFC files that were previously there in the last update weren't replaced when I updated, so is the NFC issue that was mentioned above in the thread fixed?

Nice ROM. I am trying to come out of my Lineage shell. Install went well. No issues on my 1955-5 with your instructions. I did have some weird issue with my carrier (US Mobile - VZ MVNO). Mobile network was just not working for me. It found the MN and 3 APN's no issue, but it wasn't until I installed the SIM in another MOTO G (to test for good SIM) and reinstalled into the G7 Power w/ CrDroid that it worked.

Not sure why. I was almost to the point where I was going to try the replacement of the apn-conf.xml, but I diffed the files and I couldn't see why that would make a difference. At this point, I'm guessing my issues are carrier specific.

Ahhh! Yes I did! Very interesting. I used it as I want to keep phone unencrypted. Thanks.
[Moto G7 Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] danny8:
Well, I decided to test the PIN changing function after reading the initial toddk63 query. I had a five digit PIN previously. I also had enabled the 'direct unlock' 'quick unlock' where it unlocks without having to press enter.

I successfully changed my PIN to a ten digit PIN. However, upon rebooting I cannot get past my unlock screen. I know the 10-digit PIN is correct because I can boot to TWRP and the ten digits allow my data partition to be unencrypted. I guess I'll do a factory reset after backing up a few files from data partition. It seems to me lock screen setup doesn't flag an unacceptable PIN, or otherwise fails to perform type/length checking. I admit ten digits (all numbers) is a long PIN, but still.

There are web tips about deleting files to bypass a PIN, but those appear to be for older OSes. I used that hack years ago, but I'm sure designers have (justifiably) made their OS more difficult to break into. I welcome anyone who points me to the right files or an applicable post.

Update: after performing a basic wipe/reset with TWRP, I rebooted my phone. The initial lock screen came up and asked for my PIN. I entered the ten-digits and pressed the enter key. The phone unlocked. So, 'quick unlock' had been disabled and my ten-digit password had been retained. I did not need to erase my data partition. I

do

have to re-install my apps and set up my phone again.

I suspect there's a problem with 'quick unlock'. That's only a hunch. I didn't try to verify that. I changed back to my normal five digit PIN.

Beware if you try to set a long PIN and also have 'quick unlock' enabled!

Just dirty flashed new version 6.10 from 6.9 and it boots up but after the crdroid logo (which seems to cycle longer than normal) it fades to a black screen and does nothing after that. Pressing the power button brings up the reboot menu so the OS must be loaded but there's no desktop or functionality otherwise.

Update: Nevermind, it was Magisk module SmaliPatcher causing the problem, not CrDroid. Thanks for the the update Rondeau79.
