Hello again

I was on the Carbon OS ROM and I cleaned to flash this ROM but now the MTP is not available and in TWRP I can't format Data or other partitions, can you help me, please?

Or at least give me an idea.View attachment 5173975
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
That on your screenshot is not TWRP. Additionally, please update to TWRP 3.5.0_9-0
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Yes, indeed. OTA updates are much less risky (when GApps don't survive, there will be many crashes). Aditionally, GApps packages sometimes optimize in the wrong direction or replace apps. But the GApps variant can be controlled by me.

No. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I will fix this.

It is missing the swipe decoder library.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Happy new year!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Dislekzi4:
In fact it is TWRP 3.5.0_9-0, I just changed the name to "recovery" for convenience. :ROFLMAO:

Then, do you know what could be happening?

Thanks for answering.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
The flashing error is normal. You just need to reboot into TWRP manually with the key Combo.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Dislekzi4:
But I can't format the partitions, I tried flashing by ADB as well but it didn't work.

In TWRP I get something like this.

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask about this.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
The flashing error is normal, you need to reboot into TWRP by Power+Vol-Down, then selecting Recovefy

Oh. Well, it seems like... a hardware issue. Or an extremly messed-up setup. Try to ask in the Questions & Answers forum.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] oldfone:
I'm still having issues with the camera. The flashlight in the settings is disabled. The default camera crashes and Open Camera says that the camera might be being used by another app. I can re-enable the launcher with the pm command give earlier in this thread, but I still get the same errors when I launch the camera apps. These problems also existed with CountZero's ROM, so are not Mint specific.

If I reboot enough times, everything starts working again, but after a while the problem returns.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Happy New Year!

Hi, just tried updating TWRP to twrp-3.5.0_9-0-cedric.img as you mentioned above by flashing this .img in recovery. Seemed to flash ok but when I boot into recovery I'm getting a 'failed to validate recovery image' error. The phone still boots into system ok.

Any idea what went wrong?

Hm, strange. For most users the camera works fine.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] oldfone:
I have shutdown and restarted the phone and now the camera is back and all is good. I assume it will disappear again at some point and I'll try to spot the conditions it happens in. Then I'll try to work out what conditions are needed to bring it back. Is it possible that there is a difference between "restart" compared with "shutdown" followed by switching back on as far as the camera is concerned?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] efelon:
Please check the file size and maybe content of the .img file. It seams, at least at the moment and tested only on my mobile, that the download only gives you a HTML file with a few kByte. Looks like a problem with the twrp website.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
Downloads fine for me on mobile although I can't test it as don't have this device

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] efelon:
Btw. I am on this ROM and tested PrivacyBrowser and the Android Browser. Both point me to the correct URL (https://eu.dl.twrp.me/cedric/twrp-3.5.0_9-0-cedric.img) but what I get is the HTML file of the download page with the name "twrp-3.5.0_9-0-cedric.img"

Downloading the same thing on the Laptop works fine. I'm very confused.

What was your previous build

my previous built was from last October (I think, not 100% sure). Thanks

Is it possible to install V2 ROM without forced encryption?

Last time when I tried another ROM I was asked for a password that I didn't have because during encryption I wasn't asked for one. So I had to reformat all even the sd-card.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
The password is your screen lock.

And you can find so-called forceencrypt disablers on the internet.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] walkind:
Thank you nift4 for your explanation.

I had a pattern screen lock and was asked for a password. That was the problem.

Another question:

The external sd-card is formatted as changeable media. When it is encrypted, can I use it in another phone or a pc?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Well, then the encryption was broken. This won't happen again except if you switch between different ROMs (but even that is mostly fine).

Yes, encryption doesn't touch changeable SD cards.

Hi nift4, I started using this wonderful ROM, everthing works perfectly, no issues so far. I got one question: I checked all the old posts about locking the screen with the fingerprint scanner but seems this function was removed. Got no problems unlocking the phone but when holding the fingerprint scanner to lock the screen Google Assistant pops up. My power button is almost broken, ordering a new one soon but I'll glad to see this little function back. Cheers.

After installing build 20210108 the camera crashes on startup, both the stock and the Moto cam.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
Flashing build 20210107 fixed the problem
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Nothing was changed on the device side. Did you try rebooting multiple times? If yes, this can be an LineageOS issue and should be sorted out soon.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ferrt:
Hi,

Thanks for all the work you've put in.

I was wondering if this ROM would work with no issues on a Moto G XT1671.

It's been a while since I've last flashed an Android phone (around 8 years) and I'm at odds with the compatibility of ROMs on certain devices (due to the 4G bands and such).
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
Yes, I rebooted twice and wiped the cache/davik.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
If you mean an Moto G5 (the XT number is correct), it is compatible. But backup your persist & efs via the TWRP linked, if you ever loss your IMEI, you can restore it
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] saldor:
It is weird: With the v2 build of December 20, all is fine.

If I use a newer build, the phone crashes, while I change the storage device in Spotify (intrnal -> external SD) and the card gets corrupted.

I can reproduce this with several build up to 06.01.2021.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Horrible Username:
I've run into an interesting issue.

I just clean flashed the June security update & Magisk20.4 and my device flat out fails Safetynet. Basic Integrity and CTS.

Any idea where I should start trying to troubleshoot this one?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Eh... Use the build from today. That one was horribly broken. Literally every feature from MintOS wasn't included in it.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Horrible Username:
OK, I'll give that a try.

Is a dirty flash good enough to fix it or should I do a clean again?

Cheers
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Dirty flash is enough

Hello,

Thank you for this gourgeous ROM, I really like using it - smooth and nice.

And so I was using the 15th June version without any problems until I did an OTA upgrade. The phone was encrypted. After the theoretica upgrade I was having bootloop into recovery.

Only a complete reinstall helped: Wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik - I installed the 21th June versions without any problems.

Now testing this.

1 suggestion: by default could you enable the touch wipe actions for back and recent, because without that you can stuck on one of the screens

Will try to report any found issues.

Thank you again for this great port!

M@
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Thanks, that means a lot to me :)

That is strange, I'm sorry for that issue :(

I can't enable the navbar without forcing it (bad for fp gestures users). You can reboot to unstuck you though.

It is not a port but see the first response ;)
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marci77:
This made better than ever, so I thank YOU for this ROM!!!

No problem. I don't know what has caused the issue.

I'm hesitant to do OTA or just do manually an upgrade.

Is there any ways I can help testing that?

I don't want the navbar to be enabled, but the Moto Actions pre-switched-on and pre-configured for back and recent apps (left and right respectively). Maybe also single touch for Home.

But of course I can do that ;)

Once again I really appreciate this rom and all the work you do!!!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
I have no interest in destroying the system :P But if you want to try OTA again, if the system bootloops to recovery, post it here, I'll send instructions what to do ;)

i have a question regarding the known issie about the camera. Does the camera runs without any problems?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
http://cedric.nift4.tk/twrp
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
No. If it would it would not be an known issue. If camera is important to you you should use LineageOS 14.1 - anything else is horrible at camera.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marci77:
I'm thinking of running OTA

What shall I collect from TWRP in case it's not as expected?

Other question: which camera shall be working with this ROM and with which settings?

Thanks!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
About camera: Same as Lineage

About TWRP: You first need to boot and then it will reboot to TWRP and then you need to copy /data/dropbox to the SD card
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marci77:
I did and it failed again. I don't have such folder

What I have seen: I have encrypted phone but OTA was not asking for the password and there was an mount error, but update ran with 1.0 result

Where shall I look now?

Also: how can I remove the encryption? I don't have the option within the OS when booted, only shows Encrypted.

Last time I did complete reinstall it has remained after wipes
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
The password won't ask while OTA's, that's a feature.

Where you should look? In TWRP log when you attempt to boot. Does it show "Recovery Party" somewhere?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Horrible Username:
Just wondering before I bother trying an update… has the keyboard swipe been fixed yet, or should I wait a bit more before I update.

Also a question for anybody using Open Camera.

Do you find it very slow? Initially it seems to work fine, but when I take a picture, I get the shutter sound, then it takes forever before I get an indication (the small flashing thumbnail in the bottom corner) the pic was actually taken. I made sure all the image processing/HDR/etc. is off, and it doesn't seem to matter what API I use.

Logs please, I'm no magican ^^
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Completely forgot that, will do later today (tomorrow's build will have it).

This may be due to low RAM or high CPU usage.

Tried to install the rom 3 times, always says invalid zip format.

Edit: Solved the issue.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Horrible Username:
Thanks. I'll probably hold off until next week then.

Out of curiousity, what's the typical RAM useage - just Mint, no apps installed (basically right after a fresh clean install)?

ATM, I think I'm running less than 200MB free RAM, with my apps installed (2GB phone). I probably should try to find a way to clear some RAM, but not sure where to start.

Hi, i have a doubt. With the latest updates stock camera problem is fully fixed? Or did i missunderstood
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] macGam:
Hi all. First, thanks for this ROM that solved my camera issue (could only make one picture and then the camera had a blocking issue).

Unfortunatly, I moved from [ROM][10.0][UNOFFICIAL][ARM64] LineageOS 17.1 to this one and now my microphone is not working anymore when calling someone, in Call App, Whatsapp or Signal.

From what I understood, I have to go back to Stock Oreo with TWRP and then re-flash this Mint Rom again with TWRP? If so, is this ROM (https://xdaforums.com/t/cedric-twrp-flashable-oreo.3827913/) the one I should take? Will I lost my data or have any issue doing that ?

### Edit

Answer is yes.

This is what I did with success

:

1. Flashed the last stock Oreo with last version of TWRP

Then I had a loop on boot screen at restart. Anyway, I continued :

2. Flashed the last Mint ROM from TWRP

... And it worked ! :love: (well, I had to reinstall Magisk for root access) :

Microphone is working ; camera is working ; datas still here.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
If your base firmware is already oreo there's no need to flash stock rom

If your base rom is nougat flash the latest stock firmware via fastboot - this will wipe everything from the phone

As for the rom it's best to do a clean flash of the latest version if coming from a different rom or a really old version - this involves wiping data (advanced wipe). User data (personal files) will remain but app data will be lost.

Either way backup anything you want to keep
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Horrible Username:
Back to the Open Camera issue I was having…

I changed the image format from PNG to JPG (100%) and now it doesn't have the huge save lag. Any idea why using PNG was causing problems? Seems to me like the hardware should easily handle it.
