Hi, great!

I've been looking for another custom rom for my Z3 for some time, but I can't find anything better than the Lineage OS, I will test it for a few days and put my reservations.

Thank you very much :)
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Drsrs:
Hello,

In my day, I usually connect to a network with user login and password, but when I open the login screen, it closes unexpectedly.

I tried logging in through Chrome and it didn't work either.

The browser I got through the IP was Mozilla.

That's it for now, if there is another bug I'll report it here.

Thanks.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
Will try to reproduce here, thanks for report
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Globalrebel:
I am going to have to unlockl my BL sooner or later with Moto not giving us the OS upgrade anymore :-(

I'm just waiting out for an all around DD Rom for this phone before going down that path. I will keep an eye on this one as it seems to be pretty nice and up to date. Waiting for more testers.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mosta00:
THX so much for your ROM! I just instaled today. Without any issues for the moment. It's Very stable to me(y)(y)
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Globalrebel:
Do you feel like this is an everyday ROM?

Any issues with BT, Camera, MotoMod Battery pack? (I REALLY REALLY NEED MY BATTERY PACK)
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pietrotti97:
XT1929-8 supported? Or unsuported just like lineageos?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
Is the same situation
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
No issues with cameras, nor bluetooth, MotoMod Battery pack works, by now it's shipping a wip patch which provide measurement as stock does it. If that gets approved in code review, at the time of official launching it will be permantelly added
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pietrotti97:
Why is that model unsupported?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Globalrebel:
You rocking it man!! I'll be setting up my temp phone to unlock my moto z3 this weekend to switch over to this soon. I really want something fresh since we've been on this OS for so damn long.

Is there a specific process we have to follow with your rom to flash? IE, like the LineagOS having to jump right back into recovery to then flash again?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
You may want to do a backup, for now I suggest you to use TWRP for install, if you are encrypted, you will have to format /data. If you are coming from stock, after the twrp process, install this and then you are good to go. This rom doesn't need google apps. After the install, your device will have PixelExperience recovery in place of twrp.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Globalrebel:
So, Let me get this straight just for other users . . .

Unlock bootloader (which will require wiping all data)

Flash TWRP (latest build for Z3 Play)

Reboot into TWRP

Flash new OS

Flash "Copy-partitions-AB.zip"

reboot and let her roll?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
Better isn't? :)
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Globalrebel:
Dude, was that there before I posted my Q? If so . . . I deserve a downvote LOL

Thanks for the reality check! I'll be giving this a go once I can get her BL unlocked.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
No, LMAO, I added after and based in your post
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Globalrebel:
Downloading now :-)

Side Q: Do moto Actions work on this if I install the APKs from the other thread?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Globalrebel:
I've been noticing that the GPS has problems in Google maps. I don't have anything else to test with but it just loses gps signal.

Hello, I am Brazilian and I have a question, I installed the ROM, but the mobile data is not working. My carrier 4G doesn't have access
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MagusWRM:
Brazilian here too, what's your carrier? I'm using Vivo without problems.

Did you do the copy-partitions thing (pre-install step)?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Globalrebel:
Wanted to post that I feel like the ROM has some issues from time to time with lag. It's nothing crazy, but it feels as if the phone lags more when jumping from app to app.

Still love the ROM, and will continue to use it. Just wanted to share my thoughts/experience.

Keep up the great work and hope to see another update.

You're pretty much the only one now who keeps this phone running for me.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
Maybe I release more constantly, cause in the OTA update caches get cleaned and refresh experience

Hi, did you guys noticed missing phone calls sound (others work fine) using JBL SoundBoost2 mod?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Globalrebel:
I went to go wipe Davlik cache or just cache to help speed things up, but couldn't find the option in recovery anymore?!?! Is there somewhere else I can do this wipe (ADB/FB, UI)? Just want to get her running tip top again.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chukundeda:
Hello everyone! I currently use AICP custom ROM android 11 on XT1929-8 and I'm pretty satisfied with this rom. Does anyone try it so far and what is your experience compared to this one?

Does this ROM have OC kernel. I have to use C20 kernel on stock ROM for 3 months with no issues at all (big clusters OC-ed on 2.46GHz).

If this feature is not included can you add it please, because my goal is to use stable android 11 with overclock options.

Thank you, regards
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Globalrebel:
This ROM does not have an OCd kernel. I don't know if anyone has tested it with any new kernels either. It, try it and let us know :-)
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] oliverredfox:
I found the power trick works well for that. Fully power off phone, plug into charger, wait ~30 seconds, power on phone while keeping it plugged in. It seems to be something about how android throttles apps to save power and gets confused every now and then and slows stuff down that it shouldn't be; and this kind of soft resets things back to normal and gets rid of the lag.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Globalrebel:
That sounds super placebo to me, but I will give it a try. With the new ver of android coming out, I'm hoping we will get a taste.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] oliverredfox:
The other thing is to turn off digital wellbeing. Both of those are tricks from pixel phone threads and both seem to help with this build too (or at least they help for me).

[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manck:
Yes! updated through an update on the phone ... but after rebooting, boot into fastboot mode. How can I fix it?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
Have access to recovery?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manck:
no. after reboot, it is loaded into fastboot. if you select recovery, all the same fastboot when you press start to load the system
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
Do you have pc access? You can try load recovery or twrp and clean your caches, in last case, format data
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manck:
Ok I'll try. Even after the reboot, it turns off.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manck:
and more .. in which slot do you need to flash the recovery?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tiagovicente2:
Hi, i'm trying to install Magisk with the patch image method, (https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#patching-images) but i can't find the boot.img on the zip file. What i'm missing?

Thank you for this ROM, im using for a couple weeks and it's been great.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
It's not how it works on here, either rename magisk.apk to zip and flash on recovery or adb sideload magisk.apk
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
Using pixel recovery to boot you are able to install ROM and recovery will be auto installed. For TWRP you need to use TWRP installer and will patch both slots.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MagusWRM:
Just updated through system and everything is working good :)

Did reboot two times after update just to be sure.

Tip: always make a backup (use TWRP or other tool) before update.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manck:
Yes, in principle, and so everything is fine. Just since you, as a developer, answer here in the topic (which does not happen so often), perhaps the development will not be abandoned? And another question: is it possible to return support for vr stickers to the camera? Or else the application is updated, but there are no stickers?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manck:
Well, for those who like battery consumption.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
For my presence on forum, there's a thing called real life, which I have too, job and family. I respond every question assigned to me here, since I created the thread. For vr stickers, we are now using the most updated moto camera available and source maintainer (of camera), remove this resource, I can check for some replacement later.

About development, check my personal github, else my sourceforge folder, ig you'll be impressed
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
Is it needed to run this script from recovery if I manually flashed same last stock rom on both layouts (I mean on A and B partitions)? My actual layout is B.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MineValmont:
After the last update (2021.06.21), the speaker works really bad. It looks like it can't ''drive'' the sound correctly and it feels like we're hearing from the phone instead of the speaker.

Thanks a lot!
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manck:
by the way, after the fastboot erase fb mode,and misc clear it boots normally, and the recovery appeared. so it's great now, finally,
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manck:
And what's new in the camera? It seems that everything is [the same ... or is it not noticeable to the eye?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
Face recognition lib was added, as it was missing

Last update 20210701 is working great! Using it for a week now.

Before update my battery end the day at ~30% and now ~50%
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] paulhauth25:
i have been having performance issues do you think it would be a good idea to do a fresh install considering I just updated to the first official straight from unofficial one. I had my phone completely restart itself once since the official install but it hasn't happened again.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manck:
Can you add such a function? Very convenient.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
I installed the July version of PE on the European version of Moto Z3 Play and it works. From what I tested only USB tethering not working and preparing adopted storage from GUI. From the command line, it works.

I want to root with Magisk but how to extract boot partition from Pixel Experience zip?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
You just have to adb sideload magisk.apk from your computer in recovery. Adoptable storage is not a feature that common devs include in sdm660 moto tree at PE, only I've tested on my solo projects. About USB tethering, I'm not aware off it. Will check
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
Uh, I'd love to add this, but the only code available are from Moto x2 and Moto X pure, and implementation is a bit tricky, old code
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
I dont know if its problem with adopted storage but every file that I was copying over USB OTG to internal memory was corrupted . For example I tested it on simple text file. I created it on PC, copy to USB pendrive, then connect it to phone and copy to internal memory. Then I try to open it from Solid Explorer and file is filled with some random data.

----EDIT:

I made some tests and there's a serious problem with adopted storage. Everything that I copied to internal storage after reboot is not readable. The file size and filename are ok but the contents are corrupted.

black mode turns off after reboot, you have to manually turn it on
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
How looks update process? Like on stock? When I'm on slot A update is flashing on B on fly? Or like old fashioned download and flash via recovery?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
Just allow the update and after, just reboot
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
Question was is it on fly like stock, using slots?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manck:
Because of such gouges and firmware, they will soon stop writing
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
WAT? Could you elaborate your answer?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
I'm using PE for few days and it works quite fine. There are some glitches with system preferences. For example, I'm on wifi settings, I want to change something and without any reason, I'm going back to the main screen of system preferences. It's not every time so it isn't annoying.

Every mod that I have is working. Battery, JBL speaker, gamepad. Even Incipio car dock but there's no Android Auto app shortcut in the launcher. I can't run it after quitting. Today I snapped the phone on the car dock then after some time Android Auto appeared. I tapped on Google Maps to navigate. After driving to the target place I quit from Maps. I was supposed to exit to Android Auto but no, the phone shows me my default launcher. I was not able to run Android Auto again.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
Few other things I noticed. When Ok Google is enabled google.android.googlequicksearchbox:interactor process is hogging CPU and drain battery. I decided to disable it because I'm using this feature rarely.

Another small issue: Motorola Camera app shutter is silent, even if the sound is enabled in settings.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
Nobody answers me about the slot question so I write the answer by myself. The system update is using slots like on stock. It's even better than stock because after install the system is doing dexopt (before reboot). I can use the system meanwhile. On stock, dexopt was done after reboot.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] valbuenaraul:
Has anyone have problems with the temperature of the terminal?? With the battery?

I think mines get warmer than the last version .

Thanks
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
Yes, the phone is getting hot when I'm using it. Especially on lower parts. Not every time but very often. Battery life is also shorter than on stock Android 9.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] valbuenaraul:
This is something that it is going to fix it? Or we have to come back. The hot i for any special application running in back?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
Dunno, ask developer.

I had same situation on earlier version. Now I'm on 7/16 but getting hot was on 7/01 also.

Applications that I'm using isn't hog CPU most time. Recently I noticed that "ok google" feature was loading CPU so I decided to stop using it. But phone still getting hot and battery is drainer more than on stock Android 9.
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MagusWRM:
Strange, I did update to version 7/16 but have no problem with battery.

I work from home and barely use the carrier data I'm 99,9% in wifi; is there a chance that this issue is something modem related?
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QkiZMR:
I have the same. Work from home, sometimes going outside. System battery information isn't helping much. At first place of which application is using the battery is mobile network standby with 5%. Next is screen with 4%. 5% isn't much.

I installed Termux and htop, I will investigate what is causing battery drain.

just updated. bt works as before
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gamarra27:
Thanks this rom is amazing ! Battery ok, bt ok ! Long Live battery from to day a day

But my Data Mobile (3g,4g) (CLARO BR) not working... Only calls and sms. Bandwidth display ok on the bootloader. ( IMEI is ok ) Any thing about this? Thanks !
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
I don't have a Claro sim here, but maybe check APN settings on network menu? I've tested with vivo, Oi and Tim, all works on my area
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gamarra27:
I've already tested some apns, I even got in touch with the operator... but nothing helped, would there be any APN list or some way to activate the 3g/4g? tested all modes of preferred networks and nothing either. Would there be any option in type of network besides the global? If I only put LTE, the cell will be out of service.

Thanks again
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gamarra27:
Problem solved, somehow the data came back, I used the SIM of the same operator (CLARO BR) of my brother in Slot 2 (without the SD) and like magic the data returned normally including 4G with full power! Could it contain any files on the SD card preventing the use of data?

Thank you very much for your attention and for the ROM.

I hope it's the solution for other people who are experiencing the same problem! Grateful !
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeferson1979:
Maybe a misplaced card, idk
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] maiolo:
I'm having the same problem, but in my case, this did not work at all, I even tried another SIM card, tested the SIM card in another phone,where it worked normally with 4G and all. I even tried doing a factory reset on the phone, but nothing worked... I don't know what I can do now.

I believe the problem started between the last two updates
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gamarra27:
Did you try Factory reset without SD card and SIM? Reset via Recovery with empty SLOTS, boot the system and then place only the SIM
[Moto Z3 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] maiolo:
Just tried that, still not working
