Best tip ever! I wouldn't rhink to do this because I didn't think it'd a difference.

Ive heatd about this keyboard, ia it on the mirror apk site.

What do you like about it compared to say floris keyboard(my nu goto and it respects your privacy altnough in beta its already really sweet for what they're trying to do)

Being google free for a few years now thanks to microg.

Other than disablimg notifications, ia there a way to utilize GCM without logging into a google account to use apps like signal and telegram?

I must say CR has done well i feel from a privacy perspective as it has offered spoofing for as long as i can remember. When many other distros didn't wouldn't or were too blind to its benefits compared to security.

What I like most about BlackBerry keyboard includes:

1. It support swipe gestures: you can flick word suggestions up onto the screen, swipe left across anywhere on the keyboard to delete a word, or swipe down to quickly access numbers and symbols, slide the keyboard left or right to access phrases and the number pad

2. Using familiar keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, Ctrl + Y, Ctrl + Z with the ?123 key as the Ctrl key

3. You can have multiple language input, like Vietnamese, Chinese

Overally, it's a very intuitive keyboard, in my opinion.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tinbilly:
It's easy and simple in my case. I removed google account. Upon fisrt installation, Signal was not registered in GCM. Then I went to Sign app. info. to clear cache/storage, uninstalled then reinstalled Signal. Upon successful set-up, Signed was registered in GCM.

where is some good documentation on how to do this? when i tried to flash stock on "b" partition it flashed on "a" anyway. Also, where do i get the roms/img/zips and the most up to date copy of twrp? I have tried flashing lineageos and crdroid, crdroid fails on the last part of the system partition, and lineageos completes successfully but doesnt boot...it goes directly to fastboot mode
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tinbilly:
To flash stock ROM, you can check this out, Install Stock Firmware on Motorola G8 Power via Fastboot Commands. Then from stock to crDroid, you can follow the instructions on page 1. Hope that'll help.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] yknip:
Here's what worked for me on 2041-4 using a gnu-linux box (there were some permissions gotchas):

0. power up a new out-of-the-box moto g power 2041-4. Follow prompts. Motorola Software Update will automatically download a system update and prompt reboot, after which Motorola Software Update will once again automatically download a system update and prompt reboot.

1. become developer, enable usb debugging and OEM unlocking; power off, start fastboot mode (hold volume down and power buttons), and connect phone to (linux) box with usb C cable.

2. visit https://accounts.motorola.com/ and follow instructions to unlock bootloader. Reboot and make sure to enter set up a security pattern, become developer, and enable usb debugging. Motorola Software Update will download and install system update (in my case QPMS30.80-51-8). Reboot to complete installation.

3. (This step #3 will provide a backup of the stock system; skip step #3 if you don’t want such a backup.)

a. Power off and restart fastboot mode.

you@linux:~$ fastboot boot /path-to/twrp.img

(in my case twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img).

b. Unlock phone’s TWRP screen with your pattern, then backup the Data partition; Super partition; and the rest of the partitions; separately in three backups.

c. reboot and move the TWRP folder from internal storage to a removable sdcard.

Note 1: on my device, there were two Super partitions listed: Super (9312 MB) and Super (System, Product, Vendor) (9312 MB); I just backed up the former.

Note 2: you must backup the Super partition to internal storage, it will fail if backed up directly to an external sdcard!!

4. Enter fastbootd mode as follows:

a. enter fastboot mode (with power off, hold volume down and power buttons)

b. choose ‘recovery mode’ from fastboot menu, press power button to choose.

Note: the recovery screen displays an android icon with a red warning triangle and the text “No command”. This is not an error!

c. hold power button 3 seconds then vol up 2 or 3 seconds then release

d. you see a menu: select enter fastboot with volume keys and power button

e. you see a screen with “fastbootd” in red at the top of the screen

f. connect usb cable to computer

5. unzip your ROM and cd /ROMdirectory

you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ cd /ROMdirectory

you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ fastboot set_active a

you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ fastboot flash boot boot.img

you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ sudo fastboot flash system system.img

Note: the above command fails if invoked as normal user!

you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ fastboot flash product product.img

you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ fastboot erase userdata

6. reboot phone & setup

7. root

you@linux:~$ adb push Magisk-21.4.zip /storage/yourSDcard/

you@linux:~$ adb reboot bootloader

you@linux:~$ fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img

Now, from phone’s TWRP screen, install Magisk zip (& gapps or micro_g if you want?)

Hope that helps!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] donluz:
Wow! This one actually flashed. Unfortunately however, the ROM will not complete its boot. It gets to the animated logo screen and sits there indefinitely.

Not a single Open Gapps (including pico) will flash on my Moto G Power with this ROM; attempts receive "error 70", not enough space on the "system" partition. I wiped cache/data/internal storage and formatted data, everything I could think of. It's too bad I was hoping for Android 11 and this seems to be the only ROM for this phone right now providing that. Had to revert to crDroid Android 10 version from 09/2020.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Beetle84:
Why are you flashing gapps anyway when there is a gapps version?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tinbilly:
@Rondeau79 Please advise me on how to upgrade from 7.4 to 7.5. Many thanks!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] donluz:
I tried flashing the Gapps you provided by Rondeau79. It did flash and didn't return "error 70" (not enough space in "system" partition). Unfortunately however, the ROM won't fully boot. It stops at the animated logo screen.

Hence, cannot get Google Play Store (tried manual alternatives, but to no avail). Any other flashable Gapps which work?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] donluz:
I just saw this; excuse additional reply to Rondeau79... there's a Gapps version? As in one which already includes Gapps? I would love to try that, but didn't see / understand there was such an option. Can you direct me to that link please?

[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] donluz:
Thank you for the reply. I see this is for the "Lenovo Moto G Stylus", yet this thread is for the "Moto G Power" (which is what I have). I'm cautious when flashing ROMs, so just want to double-check....
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Andvark:
Yes, it works for the Moto G Power as well. The OP's link was also for the Stylus; the same question was asked and answered in post #4. I have the XT2041-4 and have run the 7.4 and 7.5 ROMs from the download page I referenced. 7.5 has been my daily driver for a while now, and haven't experienced any issues.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] donluz:
I tried it and it flashed to "slot A". Step 1 of 2 went fine, but step 2 failed with the "e:unable to open block device /dev/block/loop20..." through "...loop17"... "no such device or address".

I don't expect you to troubleshoot this for me, but if you've got an instant clue from prior experience, it could prove helpful. TIA!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Andvark:
I don't remember what the exact errors were, but I did have a number of them. I took the ostrich approach and ignored the errors... and the phone booted fine.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tinbilly:
How did you go up to 7.5 from 7.4 without losing your data? Many thanks!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] donluz:
You made me laugh! :)

Ok, I did that and to my surprise - it booted fine! Working on passing safety net with Magisk now. I really appreciate your help and hope this convo helps others going forward. Thank you!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Andvark:
I don't believe I claimed that I didn't lose my data, and to be honest, I don't recall now if I dirty flashed or not. I've been flashing ROMs quite a bit lately for family members, and it's all a bit of a blur for me now. If I had to guess, however, I dirty-flashed 7.5 using twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia and my data was still intact.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tinbilly:
No, you didn't claim that you didn't lose you data. But I guess you might know how to do an upgrade without losing data, thus would like to seek your advise.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Andvark:
The only thing I can suggest is doing a dirty flash using the TWRP version I mentioned above.

I have the same issue as you had when you were trying to install the ROM.

Wow! This one actually flashed. Unfortunately however, the ROM will not complete its boot. It gets to the animated logo screen and sits there indefinitely.

I downloaded

crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210505-sofiar-v7.5-Gapps.zip

How did you install this zip? TWRP? What version? Or did you use fastboot flash XYZ.zip?

Thanks in advance for any help you might give.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rondeau79:
Download the latest v7.6 Gapps zip
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jack Swartz:
I tried to install:

CrDroid-v7.6-20210519-Sofiar-Gapps-IMG.zip

CrDroid-v7.6-20210519-Sofiar-Vanilla-IMG.zip

Neither one worked. I still get the the animated boot screen. Neither completes. My phone is a Moto G Power. (XT2041-4)

I have had not problems running CrDroid 10-sofiar-v6.10.zip Would still be using that ROM if not for the USB drivers and Android Auto not connecting. Super stable.

Please advise if you can and thanks for your help.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rondeau79:
It takes about 5 minutes for the first boot.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jack Swartz:
I have waited for over an hour with not luck. I tried all versions. Even tried installing with the latest TWRP. Each time it just sits at the boot animation. I might be just out of luck upgrading to Android 11. Stock Android 11 does work but I hate not having a kill app button. Thanks for all your help.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Carl-Robert:
Late reply, but all custom roms fail to finish booting if you are coming from official android 11. Downgrade to android 10 and can flash any custom rom including android 11 roms.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tinbilly:
I am new to twrp and custom rom update using twrp. Please anyone advise the correct steps to upgrade to crDroid 7.6 from 7.4 on a XT2041-1 with nanodroid installed.

Are these the correct steps using twrp?

1. Boot into twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img

2. Wipe cache and system >> However, I notice that in twrp booted on my XT2041-1, there's no system option in Wipe menu

3. Flash the ROM zip

>> Which one should I use?

* crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210520-sofiar-v7.6.zip (containing META-INF folder, care_map.pb, payload.bin, payload_properties.txt) OR

* CrDroid-v7.6-20210519-Sofiar-Vanilla-IMG.zip (containing boot.img, product.img, system.img, vbmeta (1).img)

4. Flash Magisk (to gain root access)

Much appreciated your advise.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rondeau79:
Flash the first zip. The IMG zip needs to be unzipped and flashed via fastbootd
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] donluz:
Wonder if you're still having trouble with this? I wound up NOT flashing a separate Gapps file. Instead I used the single ROM download file which was suggested in this thread; it contains the Gapps, built-in. The download is for the Lenovo phone, but don't worry as the gentleman was correct; it works for the Moto G Power.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jack Swartz:
I was reading your previous post and downloaded

crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210505-sofiar-v7.5-Gapps.zip

How did you install it? Did you use TWRP and if so which version?

The zip contains:

META-INF folder

care_map.pb

payload.bin

payload_properites.txt

Usually you install the following files being in fastbootd.

fastboot set_active a

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash product product.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rondeau79:
That zip file is flash-able with TWRP
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tinbilly:
Many thanks for your advise. I updated 7.4 to 7.6, but failed.

This is what I did:

1. Booted into twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img (Note: I did not flashed twrp on my device)

2. Flashed crDroid 7.6 ROM zip crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210520-sofiar-v7.6.zip

3. Wiped Cache & Dalvik

4. Rebooted system

However, the device just rebooted into bootloader. I checked and found out that the active slot was slot B.

5. So I rebooted my device into twrp (fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img)

6. In twrp, I rebooted device to slot A. My device then successfully booted. I went to Settings - System and found out that it was still on crDroid 7.4

Much appreciated any suggestion.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rondeau79:
Download the latest TWRP flash-able zip. You should also permanently install TWRP to your device.

Wipe data and dalvik. Format data. Flash the proper zip. Reboot to recovery then reboot system.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jdude520:
Ok so I am so frustrated with this Moto G power , If anyone can please tell me what I am doing wrong...I have rooted and ran mutliple custome roms since back in the Jelly bean days but I have always been able to do all the fundamentals of owning root and making the most of my phone.. You guys have always been helpful . SO when i attempt flash a custom rom through adb folder ( because I think you cannot flash custom roms with twrp at all) attemtp to follow your instructions to the T

but every time after install of custom , and thats any custom rom i try to boot it up for first time , prior to re-twrping, adding gapps, or magisk rooting and it literally just stays on the new rom animation for hours until i give up and I have to rescue it with lenovo'S rescue tool . Any help would be awesome ?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tinbilly:
What is your device? Which version did you flash? Did you come from android 10 or 11? Please briefly describe the steps you took.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jack Swartz:
I also had the same problem. You will get the ROM animation forever if you are already on Android 11. You must go back to Android 10 in order for CrDroid to boot properly. Just follow the instructions:

Flashing:

1. Extract the zip and open a shell with ADB and fastboot.

2. Reboot your device into fastbootd mode.

Code:

fastboot reboot fastboot

3. Flash boot, system, product, and vbmeta.

Code:

fastboot set_active a

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash product product.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

4. Wipe userdata.

Code:

fastboot -w

I used the file:

CrDroid-v7.6-20210519-Sofiar-Gapps-IMG.zip

Gapps are included in this file.

Thanks to everybody that helped me out. I hope this helps someone else.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jeycihouses1986:
Hello Sir. These are the instructions to flash CrDroid with android 10??

Its the same rule for any rom? I have to be on Android 10 to flash an Android 11 ROM?

Thank you very much in advance!!! I didnt read anywhere that requirement to flash a rom and you have been very helpfull.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jack Swartz:
Yes, in this case, I used the same instructions to flash Android 11 as 10. And yes, you have to be on Android 10 before you can upgrade to 11. If your on Moto stock 11, it will not work. You will get the dreaded boot loop. Glad to help.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AshiTheSage:
I followed every step but somehow get caught in a bootloop :/
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rondeau79:
Make sure you are coming from stock android 10.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Leroy_Sparks:
Been running this for a couple of weeks with good results. One question:

1) I don't have TWRP flashed, so what is the easiest or best method to update to the latest build (preferably without losing root or data). Can I boot into TWRP (via fastboot) and do a dirty flash?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rondeau79:
Yes, or download and unzip an Image zip and flash via fastbootd.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Leroy_Sparks:
Thanks for your reply. I updated successfully via fastbootd using "CrDroid-v7.7-06232021-Sofiar-Vanilla-IMG.zip". I had no luck using TWRP.

If I might ask, could you offer guidance on trying to do this via TWRP. I'm really struggling to understand/adapt to the whole slot/a slot/b stuff. Here's what I did and my results:

I booted into TWRP from fastboot (fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img).

Selected INSTALL and selected the file "crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210624-sofiar-v7.7.zip" and this was displayed :

View attachment 5350163View attachment 5350165

Then I rebooted (to system) with slot A current :

View attachment 5350167

The phone booted into fastboot mode (?). Attempts at rebooting always took me to fastboot. So I rebooted into TWRP and selected slot B in reboot and rebooted - again into fastboot. Then I booted back into TWRP, selected slot A and rebooted - phone came back up in CRdroid, albeit without the update.

I suspect I'm just doing something wrong. I'm concerned about the "E: unable to open block device....." messages after the TWRP flash of the zipfile (I've read that the "E: unable to open loop device...." errors are not a problem (?).

Any clarification would certainly be beneficial to me and perhaps others.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rondeau79:
You need to install TWRP permanently it will make life easier. You won't lose it when flashing ROMs.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Leroy_Sparks:
Once again thanks for your reply.

I've seen mention of (apparently) flashing TWRP to both slots? If so, is it just a matter of installing it via "booted" Twrp, then selecting the other slot from reboot menu and flashing it again? As I said, this slot business has me uncertain.

(BTW I've resisted installling TWRP because of the messed up touchscreen problem - it doesn't instill confidence with such a "feature" lol)

[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tinbilly:
I installed TWRP on both slot A & B using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and fastboot flash recovery_b twrp.img. After that I rebooted my device into TWRP, then selected INSTALL and selected the file "crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210624-sofiar-v7.7.zip". But I got no luck.

That's how I flashed your 7.4 and 7.6. When I read your advice to install TWRP, and noticed that you posted a version of your 7.7 as a "TWRP flashable" zip, I wanted to flash from the installed TWRP. Did I misunderstand how the TWRP flashable zip can be installed?

Hello. Can you please tell me the status of the "screen cast" feature in this ROM? When I attempt to utilize the feature (even through a 3rd-party app), clicking "settings" to configure it reboots the phone - in every attempt.
