Great to hear! Ok, one more bug to report right now... in the "dark theme", going to set "group" or "label" it might be called for a CONTACT record, the list is white-on-white and one cannot see the label names (the checkboxes next to them barely show as a very light gray on white background).

Questions...

1. I am using the Moto G Power on Verizon under Android 11 of this ROM (crDroid). Is this the latest June link you are referring to for this phone:

crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210624-sofiar-v7.7.zip

2. I'm using TWRP (v3.5) to do a Nandroid backup prior to flashing an update of this nature. There are multiple partitions to select from and I'm unsure which need to truly be backed-up and hence restored to get back to where I left off should a ROM update be necessary to reverse.

Partitions are:

BOOT

DTBO

SUPER

DATA

RECOVERY

PERSIST

BLUETOOTH

DSP

EFS

FSG

LOGO

SUPER.

This is FAR more than used to be in days past. Any light you can shed on which are pertinent to a regular backup and restoration would be appreciated.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] donluz:
Hello. Still hoping for some assistance with either/both of these questions.

I also have another potential bug to report. This one is under the "access point names" in settings. Every so often the setting gets changed. I am using Verizon. Here are the three access point names (APNs) which are listed (there seems to be no option to add/remove/edit):

1. STRAIGHTALK VERIZON (TRACFONE.VZWENTP)

2. Verizon (VZWINTERNET)

3. XFINITY Mobile (COMCAST.RSLR.VZWENTP).

Only #2 works for me so that I get texts, calls and data. When the system changes the setting (it's happened enough now I can rule-out user/memory error), it changes from #2 to #1.

I'm not sure what's causing it, but what happens is that I stop receiving data. This is a very subtle and annoying bug because the only way to determine you don't have data is to try using data. Calls and texts works fine in both directions during this #1 setting selection. It's just data which stops. A simple change back to #2 and all is well again... until the next time. I've not been able to pin-down when it happens. I've checked after a reboot and that doesn't seem to be related. Any others experiencing this? Is there something you can look into?

Heya! I'm using one of the Android 11 GApps versions of Rondeau79's CrDroid ROMs, and so far everything's working GREAT! However, I can't seem to figure out how to activate VoWi-Fi or VoLTE. Is there a way to get those working on this flavor of CrDroid? It's apparently an option in the official ROMs.

If there's no way to get VoWi-Fi or VoLTE working on these unofficial CrDroid ROMs, is there a custom ROM out there that would offer that? Sorry if that's kind of a dumb question. Thank you to Rondeau79 for the work you've done so far, though!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rondeau79:
Depending on the carrier VoLTE and VoWi-Fi is already enabled.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] BoneheadBraixen:
Huh. My carrier is Consumer Cellular, which allows for VoLTE and VoWi-Fi, but it's not working on this OS. I contacted my carrier and all that jazz, so maybe there's just something I'm missing, or Consumer Cellular just doesn't play nice with CrDroid.

Thank you, though!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rondeau79:
Try toggling Volte in settings>network & internet> mobile network
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] BoneheadBraixen:
For some reason, that option just isn't showing up in my mobile network settings. Any idea as to what I should do to fix this?

So installing any of the latest 7.11 versions, I can't get past the initial screen where you chose language then it wants to select internet connection, connecting or pressing skip both results in a never ending "getting your device ready" phase.

7.10 version does not have this issue and the welcome screen there is different its cr droid branded, while the 7.11 one looks like standard. I have tried upgrading from 7.10-7.11 clean and dirty flash, those never boot.

Also the version that works 7.10 when trying with gapps, the gapps do not work and it says Google Play Store has crashed every time.

Hi,

crDroid sofiar-v7.13 - Motorola G(8) Power - FairEmail messaging -

Problem encountered with the "Files" application : a file sent as an attachment via FairEmail is systematically empty after saving. Since it is the "Files" application which is launched at the request of the recording....

Test done on a Poco F3 with ArrowOS, everything is OK.

Is it a bug, has anyone encountered this problem?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flieswithhawks:
You will need to restore back to Stock ROM and make sure that it is enabled there and then you can reinstall CrDroid and you should have VoLTE just fine.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] donluz:
Awesome ROM and the update is much appreciated. This update however I'm having huge issues with the Gapps version. Playstore keeps failing, calendar cannot find my account. I tried Vanilla, but not sure what "arch64" Gapps is??? Where would I find that?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Aceofzeroz:
Try using Flame Gapps Android 11 version from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/flamegapps/. That's what I'm using and it works great. 👍
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Does FM radio work on this (or any other rom) yet? This is my all time favorite device, but the lack of FM radio on all custom ROMs was a real bummer, so I shelved it for a while

Edit: I should clarify -- that doesn't sound terrible. I see it "works" on Arrow but sounds bad, same goes for switching SELinux to permissive and back on other roms, sound is terrible.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] donluz:
Than you. I did try flame and still had issues. Wound up using Nikki's core.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] donluz:
One tiny glitch I'm still seeing in this update. When phone is in dark mode, when editing a Google contact, bringing up the "labels" field shows a white-on-white list. Cannot read anything until a label is touch/checked. Let me know if screenshot needed.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Aceofzeroz:
That's odd, I never noticed that bug.

You're welcome. glad you got Nik's gapps to work.

Question... is anyone experiencing the loss of icon shortcuts on his desktop?

The shortcut types that disappear for me consistently are:

- driving (maps)

- playlist

- shortcut to downloads folder.

The driving shortcuts come from Google maps. Playlists come from PowerAmp. Downloads comes from Solid Explorer.

I am using Nova Launcher, but also had similar experience with Microsoft Launcher.

I've reset and reflashed multiple times. Icons good for a while, surviving multiple reboots and dalvick/cache wipes (TWRP). However, eventually, usually within just a few days or week, they are gone.

Odd thing is that some older driving shortcuts remain always. No other shortcuts/icons out widgets affected.

Don't think it's the launcher. Nova people said it's Android 11. Not much left except the ROM. No clue what to think. Everything else with this ROM is great so hesitant to point at it.

Anyone have any insight?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] yknip:
It appears your 7.16 zips no longer contain IMG files, but instead contain a product.bin: are these latest zips TWRP flashable? I'm currently running your 7.10 (used fastbootd to flash 4 IMGs) and twrp 3.5.2_10-0.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rondeau79:
I no longer support fastbootd images. All zip files are TWRP flash able now
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] yknip:
So, simply twrp install the zip? OK to dirty flash from your 7.10 to 7.16?

@Rondeau79 I have been trying to make use of this ROM's "Fullscreen Apps" setting to make Kiwi Browser fullscreen beyond the camera cutout, but no luck. Also tried a few magisk modules to no avail. any idea if it can be accomplished on this ROM? I see the Matlog app is listed as a compatible app for fullscreen mode in the settings, but not much else. Nice ROM btw, just switched to this ROM from Havoc and this seems to be running smoother with a bit more customization.

hi, good day! i would like to ask what is the advisable TWRP to be installed and how? can you give us a simple steps to follow for installing using TWRP for new installs from stock ROM? thank you and more power!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Tintin62:
Hi,

twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img it's perfect. (https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-5-0.4155041)

Boot your phone into fastboot.

fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img and install it (Advanced / Install TWRP App) that'all.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jccaguisa:
thank you. i'll try it. then after just install the custom rom zip via twrp right? and gaaps is already included? thank you.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jccaguisa:
and one last question, would it be fine if i came from stock rom android 11? thank you
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Tintin62:
Hi,

often 2 versions proposed :

-Vanilla without GAPPS ex: crDroidAndroid-11.0-20220414-sofiar-v7.17-vanilla.zip

-With GAPPS (larger size) ex: crDroidAndroid-11.0-20220322-sofiar-v7.16-Gapps.zip

As for coming from a Stock ROM it is not necessary.

Don't forget a 'Format Data' with TWRP before install and 'Wipe Cache/Dalvik' before reboot system. This is what I do...(I'm far from an expert, but it works).
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jccaguisa:
thank you but it seems i cannot format data because it is not permited(meaning the device is still encypted)., would it be fine to just install rom right away? of there is way to decrypt our device? thanks
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Tintin62:
On the existing ROM disable any lock,

Try to boot under fastboot and run command "fastboot erase userdata".

Good luck.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jccaguisa:

[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jccaguisa:
no on twrp when flashing custom rom

I have the 7.14 version of this ROM. With minor exception, all works as expected. The exceptions include: wifi calling. This doesn't work at all. Also, the voicemail icon indicator doesn't appear.

Wonder if any of these has been addressed since 7.14?

Does anyone succeeded to install TWRP and flash this rom with android 11? I have Moto G Power 2020 XT2041-4 with stock rom Q1-54-13.3-7 android 11. I tried to flash TWRP but when I touched the screen there is nothing happen. I read the command and someone said it's not compatible for android 11. I tried to flash back to android 10 without succeeded.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tinbilly:
From my experience, I had to flash back to stock android 10 before installing this rom. My device is a Moto G Power 2020 XT2041-1 with twrp-3.5.0-0 as recovery. This is what I did (step 1 then steps 2b.1 to 2b.9) to flash crdroid 7.19 on my device.

1. Revert to stock a10: I followed this guide to revert to stock a10.

2. From stock a10 to crdroid:

I have 2 options

2a. Using fastbootd mode with an img zip package: instructions are on page 1 of this thread

OR

2b. Using twrp mode with a zip package containing META-INF folder, care_map.pb, payload.bin, payload_properties.txt

This is what I did to flash straight to crdroid v7.19

2b.1 Reboot device into fastbootd mode

code: fastboot reboot fastboot

2b.2 Flash twrp permanently

code:

fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img

fastboot flash recovery_b twrp.img

2b.3 Reboot to bootloader

code: fastboot reboot bootloader

2b.4 Enter recovery (twrp) mode

2b.5 Wipe Dalvil / Art Cache

2b.6 Install zip package (containing META-INF folder, care_map.pb, payload.bin, payload_properties.)

2b.7 Reboot to Recovery: STILL ON TWRP press Home > Reboot > Recovery

2b.8 Format data

2b.9 Reboot system

That's it. You can refer to this short clip before going ahead with your device.

So far I am very happy with crdroid 7.19 (a11). I have tried blissrom v17.0 (a14) for one day, but decided to revert to crdroid v7.19. While blissrom v17.0 worked smoothly on my device, I did not like its UI & customization. One big step-back is that fingerprint does not work on blissrom v17.0.

In my opinion, crdroid's UI & customization is very user-friendly and sophisticated. I have tried gravitybox with crdroid, but finally decided to uninstall it as I found crdroid was good enough to basically do what gravitybox could.

Thanks for reading this long post!

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] Elr0ndK:
Hello everyone, after struggling with basically any custom ROM that I have tried, I'll report the errors here that I've had because I need a ROM that works decently, hopefully.

Paranoid Android (Android 10): frequent random crashes and reboots, audio codecs broken (some audio is really bad).

Lineage OS (Android 10): failures flashing it.

ShapeShift (Android 11): even more frequent crashes and reboots, mobile data not working.

Arrow OS (Android 11): I couldn't even complete the setup because of services crashing during the first configuration after flashing it.

I'd like a debloated ROM, less is more.

Or, if you have a flawless working ROM among the previous ones, please just link me the MIUI (and the firmware, if needed) I have to use to make the exact same installation you have (this is driving me crazy, it's about a week that I'm using a not decent phone). It's the 5g standard, no pro/ultra/lite.

Thank you.

Well, I have tried like 7 stock ROMs recently, almost all of them were as unstable as the custom ones.

Anyway, I've done the cleanest install possible (flash stock - format - flash custom - format) with Arrow OS and apparently like this it's quite stable.

[Android Auto General] Netuser:
Hi,

I just switched from iPhone to Android (S21) to my surprise when I connect my phone to my car and use google maps on android auto, I can not open the google maps app on phone, it is not letting me open it.

While on iPhone google maps can be opened on both screen and while using navigation we get very useful turn directions on phone screen.

Why can't I do this on android ? why Google made better product for apple phone then their own system.

Is there any way to fix this ? even if I want to search an address I have to disconnect the phone from car in order to use the app on phone, this is just ridiculous.

Thanks for your help
[Android Auto General] jgonger:
i second this. I shouldn't have to find a workaround

I travel every weekend and as a passenger it's nice to be able to look for new spots then send it to android auto

@Netuser i use a workaround and

- use google maps within google chrome (or what ever browser you use).

- For address' i open in chrome.

- lastly, i hit directions and it sends it to the android auto where i can press start or add stop.

I use here maps, maps.me, citymapper, waze as a workaround as well then copy the address into google chrome then press directions.

Pro tip: if you are traveling in europe running waze in the background while running google maps for speed traps is 100% needed. Speed cameras are all over the place in europe not allowing you to go more than 5km over the limit.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
This is indeed true, any navigation app currently running on Android Auto cannot be opened on the phone. That's not a Google Maps limitation but it's part of Android Auto intended behaviour.

If you have a rooted phone you can try out "Multi Display" mode in AA AIO TWEAKER. With this mode, Google Maps will also be shown on phone with a map of where you're going and indications. If you have a widescreen car, it will also enable a split view mode which is kinda neat

See examples below.
[Huawei P30 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] doodledo:
Has anybody being able to enable this in Europe on either 10.1 or 11? It showed up on 10.1 for me in the phone app but was never able to enable. Now on 11 beta, it's not even shown anymore as a tab.
[General Questions and Answers] Fenixdroid:
As the title says, what is Network operator Theme pack? Ive already googled it and there is nothing close to it.

I was looking through my phones app list with system apps showing and I saw an app with that name, Network operator Theme pack and I dont recall seeing it before. It goes without saying, but I didnt install that app. The package name is "com.android.networksettings.overlay.ct".

There is also an app called Permission controller Them pack and its package name is "com.google.android.overlay.modules.permissioncontroller".

While they may mean nothing at all and be completely harmless, the "overlay" part raised a little red flag for me. Ive also been having severe battery drainage issues, but I dont know if that is related or not. Severe as in losing 1% of the charge every 3-8 minutes when using the phone and about 4%-5% every 45-60 minutes when the screen is off.

I looked at the list of processes running in 3C All in One Toolbox (paid version) and the only thing that was a problem was the mediaextractor kernel process which I killed each time it was a problem as it was eating up in excess of %150+ of the phones cpu. I was also rooted up until a few weeks ago when I updated magisk (through magisk manager) & edxposed, then after the phone restarted I was no longer rooted and unable to re-root without wiping all my data (which, needless to say I did not do as I am not in the mood to start over from scratch right now.

So yeah, if anyone could tell me what the strange app package is and maybe help me figure out my battery drainage problem, Id greatly appreciate it.

My phone is a OnePlus 7 Pro running android 10.

Stay healthy everyone!

P.s. I attached a screenshot of the app info window from both of the strange apps mentioned above.View attachment 5212587 View attachment 5212587
