Right now I'm using Htchomeplug JUST for the link to create a new SMS. I would like to be able to add this app link to the HTC Home (v. 2.1) > Launcher tab. I have tried linking the app, adding the registry keys/entries and I don't know why it's not working. I don't think HTC Home recognizing the same entries that htchomeplus recognizes.

Is there any way I can make this work, or is there a basic app out there that will launch a new SMS? Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] omk298:
Try this - just put it in your Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder. You can then asign it to a button, put it on the launcher tab, or whatever you like.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MACkjam:
There is a great app which I use called HTC Action Menu which allows you to create New SMS/MMS, Email, Doc, Note, Appointment, Contact etc and you assign a button to run, which is in this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=340803

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] mike_bravo:
So here is a little pretext.

I have recently installed LineageOS 18.1 from here on my mido. I was previously on LineageOS 16.0 and my device was rooted with magisk.

After leaving MIUI I have never enabled encryption on my device. But this time after installing my current version of ROM I found that my device was encrypted. I could have formatted my device to disable encryption but then I would have to restore my apps+data again which I wanted to avoid. So I didn't format my device.

Recently I got the update for LineageOS 18.1 through the in-built Updater. I have downloaded it but I am hesitating before installing it. I am quite nervous because I am not sure if the process will go smoothly. I could also dirty flash the update. But I am not sure whether there is a difference between dirty flashing this update or installing via using the internal updater.

Can anybody help me with this. I have tried to search on internet but the results are not as relatable to my query. Some old posts on reddit and stackexchange covers dirty flash and/or OTA as different entities and even more posts are so old that according to them the idea of custom ROMs providing OTA updates is impossible.

Will somebody please guide me to some resources..!

Half the time that I get pictures texted to me they come in blurry, but this only started happening after I flashed lineage os is there anyway to fix this?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
Half the time? Have you come up with any reasoning, like particular person, carrier, etc that it happens with? I haven't come across this on any device yet. Does it happen still if you install say Google Messages and use that?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nuyttwacko:
I only get pictures from one person, and sometimes I get them blurry and ask them to resend them and they come in fine. I've tried to see if being on wifi changed that, aswell as tried like 4 different sms apps and it persists. I never had this issue on oos nor has anything to do with my carrier changed.

(I am the fellow with no laptop from the other thread)
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Rondeau79:
Download the proper zip file. Wipe data and cache. Flash zip file in TWRP, reboot recovery, flash Gapps(optional). Format data and reboot into system.

Thank you for your work and reply Robdeau79! I've already got the files downloaded and gonna give it a go tonight! Can't wait to put a custom rom on this!

So if I wanted to add magisk, do I do this after the steps gig mentioned? Do I need to reboot back into recovery after gapps to flash magisk?

I'm on 21 now and I accidentally "installed" magisk 22 but I haven't rebooted my phone yet in fear of bootlooping. I *think* Ive correctly backed up boot, dtbo and Vbmeta img files in case I have any issues.

Again, thanks for your help and your work and I will post the results when I work up the courage to a)reboot and b)flash!
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Rondeau79:
Download Magisk.zip and flash it in recovery. What version number it is really isn't an issue.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Mattswad:
Thank you, I only brought it up as they changed from 2 separate files (1 zip to be flashed and a separate apk) to 1 single set up method from 21 to 22...as far as I understand.

I've never successfully performed a "nandroid" backup and freeing up space on my external sd has been what's taken up all my time but I'm gonna do it tonight I hope!
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Mattswad:
I'm getting an "Invalid zip file format! Error installing zip file...." message.

I downloaded several different roms and they all say that. I moved the files around to a different location in the external sd. No help.

I tried to rename the zip to an img inside of twrp (just to see if it would let me flash an image file) but it wouldn't let me rename it.

For TWRP make sure your phone is fully charged and then switch to a USB mouse on an OTG cable then you can control TWRP. For GAPPS, try NANO and then you can load whatever Google apps you need via the Play Store.

[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dandu3:
Okay so I managed to do a very unsupported thing and have it still somehow boot. I upgraded to crdroid RQ1A.210205.004 (using the previous separate IMG files download as they were newer and I was wondering what difference if any they had over the regular 7.3 that was dated a day earlier? are they just newer builds or just essentially duplicates, or they were not really supposed to be public? anyways,) from my existing AICP 10 install.

I just dirty flashed the ROM only, waited for it to boot up and then to my amazement it did! I then installed the 11 opengapps as everything was crashing but the only thing is that essentially all google apps were broken requiring a reinstall of them (regular app data wipe didn't help and the play store works fine so I just did that) to not just close out when launching them.

is this fixable or it's a lost cause? lol. Thanks for this ROM, it's come a long way since I tried your first builds, this is actually usable and not just a black hole for google apps
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jaxgun:

I Have a Moto G Power XT2041-4 on Verizon. Why is that my mobile network is all wonky on the 11 Roms? Cannot send or receive MMS. Mobile data turns off when trying to send myself an MMS. Then turns right back on after trying to send and tells me it was unsuccessful. Mobile data turns itself on and off every few seconds. If i'm on a phone call mobile data icon stays on but still no data. There is absolutely no APN options for me on 11. I've tried flashing the stock modem. Erase carrier. Resets. I have none of these issues with any of the 10 Roms.

Fresh install no gapps, I'm unable to get the bluetooth to play media, and there is a constant error upon any headset pairings "Problem conneting, please turn off and back on" which of course fixes nothing. It will however play phone sound in this errored state if the media switch is unselected, however unselecting the calls will cause immediate disconnect.

I've played around with all the stuff in developers settings including trying the new Gabeldorsche stack to no avail, when I check for the usual options of codecs and frequences to play its all greyed out leading me to believe perhaps the problem is with the Bluetooth Midi Service? Perhaps someone has been able to fix it or has any ideas?

For now after a day of testing I can say bluetooth has been the only problem, everything else is working very well, I love the features sch as LED control, wish this could be fixed.

honestly I was in the same boat you're in. was kinda just following instructions on how to flash a rom without really knowing what I was doing.

my phone was so messed up I couldn't even boot into TWRP. I ended up fixing it though by starting back from square 1. I successfully flashed TWRP and instead of trying anything fancy I just flashed Lineage using the sideload feature of TWRP. none of the other methods would work because I guess I just wasn't knowledgeable enough. but if you basically bricked your device and just want it to boot into an OS try booting into TWRP and using it's sideload feature to flash Lineage. anyway I know this isn't the lineage thread but im juat trying to help you fix your decice. maybe the devs can post a version of crDroid that can be flashed via sideload. sorry for the rant I just know how stressful it can be when you mess up your phone and it won't boot anymore. Give that method a try if you just want your phone to work so you can move on with your life lol.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] griz.droidx:
Thanks a bunch! We know what were doing thats not the issue. I've even read the **** about ab partitioning on googles site. I can't remember most of it but I get the jist of how it works and why. One of the New CR downloads must have corrupt partitions or something. I Tried both TWRP Fastboot, and the stock fastboot but used the same actual parition files each time, I wonder if each version is built separtely (that's a lot of juice from a cpu) or the partitions are shared among each installlation option. It's fixed and running another os q version of android. maybe Q is messing with us

After lots of struggle, I have successfully installed crDroid 7.4 together with nanodroid plus microG, Google Play Store on my XT2041-1. The phone runs flawlessly so far. Below is what I did:

1. Back to stock rom: Install Stock Firmware on Motorola G8 Power via Fastboot Commands. [The stock rom was put on the slot_B partition >> I am wrong on this]

2. Install CrDroid [(on slot_A partition) >> I am wrong too. With fastboot set_active a, we have fixed Slot A as the active slot. Hence the ROM would be flashed to the inactive one, i.e. Slot B]. Note: I did get an error message "Not enough space to resize partition" when flashing system.img. To fix this, I flashed product.img then system.img.

3. Install Magisk: Rooting ( after unlocking bootloader)

4. Install NanoDroid: NanoDroid Installation Setup as a Magisk module. I did alter the installation to get both Google Play (patched with microG (in-)app-purchase support) and Aurora Store (alongside Aurora Services addon) installed (nanodroid_play=30). Note: I downloaded the stable version here NanoDroid-23.1.2.20210117.zip and edited the configuration file (.nanodroid-setup) right inside the NanoDroid-23.1.2.20210117.zip.

5. Install microG Installer Revived as a Magisk module in order to get a real Play Store

6. Set-up MicroG

7. Install other GMS-dependent apps which, in my case, included Google Maps and Google Earth

8. Most interestingly, I did get the Blackberry Keyboard working flawlessly on my phone

That's it. Feel free to share your experience or ask me any question. I am willing to help as much as I can. Thanks for reading.
