Glad to hear this. I may try again in the following weeks as my Motorola is getting slower and slower 😠

Can you please let us know if Bluetooth and NFC are working (if you can test them)?
[Moto G8 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] n30r:
Bluetooth works, but I could only test it on audio output devices. Surprisingly even without having to change any Treble related settings.

NFC also appears to work. Tested with NFC Reader and 2 bank cards.

ZRAM is on the lower end with 1GB so the phone struggles like any other 4GB device. Suggest using VR25's ZRAM manager to increase it. The crdroid launcher is rather bad and annoyingly persistent. It enables itself as the home app after every restart. First time setup has been dysfunctional as I was unable to connect to my Wifi.

But overall it's prolly the best ROM one could hope in regards to this phone.
[Moto G8 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Herstel:
Thanks a lot for your experience. I will try it again in the future, but restore and android phone is pretty annoying to be honest :)
[Moto G8 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] irex102:
I had the same issues as you before where the roms wouldn't boot. It was because the stock rom wasn't compatible with the gsi that I was trying. I tried a different stock rom, I think it was a latin america one and then all the gsi roms work now. I'm currently using android 13 Andyang's lineage os. It's super fast, bluetooth works super well, I have viper4android running, battery lasts a long time and have no complaints other than no wifi calling.

For me, this is the stock rom that ended up working: XT2019-2_DOHA_OPENLA_10_QPIS30.28-Q3-28-26-4-1-7_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
[Moto G8 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Herstel:
Thank you very much for all the info. I'll make another test!

Are you using any Recovery? I can only use the fastboot mode because I don't have a recovery and I can't install it due to Android 10. Maybe this can be the reason why that Rom was not working on my phone, but I'm not expert.

Can you please link the android 13 Andyang's lineage os are you using? NFC is also working (if you can try it)?

Thanks! :-)
[Moto G8 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] irex102:
I'm not using any custom recovery. I used fast boot to flash everything. Installation instructions are here: https://xdaforums.com/t/gsi-rom-lineageos-20-moto-g8-plus-doha.4595039/

This is BVN, you can choose to install magisk later

My Moto G8Plus doesn't have NFC as in it never came with NFC hardware but others who have used the rom claims it works.

this might be helpful to some of you:

I almost pulled my hair out while trying to flash the stock rom - i always got an error message while flashing the last sparse chunk of the system partitions:

Sending 'system_a' (3162112 KB) (bootloader) Requested download size is more than max allowed

turns out that the current fastboot version 34.0.5-10900879 has a bug :/

i then downloaded version 33.0.3 and it now works flawlessly :)

Hello, are you able to watch Netflix using a custom rom with unlocked bootloader?

My G8+ is really slow in the last weeks :mad: and I want to try to install a custom rom again

I've been able to install the last crDroid-10.0 v2023.12.23 based on Android 14 using the same steps of the first post. https://github.com/naz664/crDroid_gsi/releases

It works fine. Bluetooth works out of the box. NFC works (enable it in the settings because it's disabled by default). It seems more responsive than the stock Android 10 ROM but I need few weeks for testing it well.

Hello, unfortunately I don't remember the exact steps I followed to install crDroid.

I hope you already found a solution to your issue. If not, try to install both the "slim" and "normal" versions of the ROM.

Remember to follow the exact steps of the first post, because they are needed for some reason
[Moto G8 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] arshmaan:
I have tried and follow the steps exactly as mentioned in first post, crDroid flashes successfully but never boot and my phone goes in boot loop.

I have tried almost 3 to 4 roms gsi but only Lineage OS 20 is working fine (only Google chrome sync stopped every minute).

Which stock ROM did you install first?

I used this one https://mirrors-obs-2.lolinet.com/firmware/lenomola/2019/doha/official/RETEU/ so you can try with this. Unfortunately I don't have more suggestions as I'm not an expert in flashing ROMs :-(

[Realme 5 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] R@in:
There are so many audio mods (v4a, narail, JamesDSP etc). So I was wondering which one's the best mod from an audiophile's perspective( prefer the latest, updated one)
[Realme 5 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] greenys':
I tried Dolby digital plus 7.3, V4a, Dolby Atmos and James DP. I feel like they all worked well but since I only listen to music in 128 kbps m4a there's barely any noticeable difference. I'm sure all these fancy effects and stuff would make much of a difference if one listened to music in lossless flac audio.

Hello! I've got a 2018 Toyota Auris (yes, i know, in the USA is named Corolla). I changed the radio for a Dasaita PX6 radio with DSP and Android 10.

[**Link to the radio**](https://es.aliexpress.com/item/33011976959.html)

It came with an external Microphone but they don't allow you to use the OEM microphone wich was... honestly perfect. This is what the radio came with:

[**Image of the radio with all the accesories**]

The microphone connects via 3.5mm Mini Jack. I tested it and I turned the microphone amplification to +10db because if i had it lower, NOBODY CAN HEAR ME. So... +10db, ok.

View attachment 5334723

The audio quality in calls was so horrific that I thought... well maybe is this ****ty microphone, lets try another one. So I bought the Sony ECM-CS3:

[**Sony ECM-CS3 (beautiful)**]

I connected it with the same settings (remember, less than +10db means nobody can hear me), and... I still had the same Issue. The microphone audio is distorted as hell. I tested it by recording a call with my girlfriend. I'm the dude... and i can't even understand myself. The worst part is in the middle, when I am driving in the highway (min. 8 aprox):

[**Sound proof**] (https://freesound.org/s/573025/)

I though about trying to Isolate the microphone with foam because my actual setup is this:

View attachment 5334729

It has foam underneath for vibrations, but the actual microphone has no foam around. I'll test it later but for me it looks more like a software issue.

What do you think? Any idea of how to improve the sound quality? I found this post in a Tacoma forum where **a guy found a way to use the OEM microphone from Toyota in an Android Unit**. But I am scared of not being compatible with the Corollas:

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bob_Sanders:
You have to use the dasaita mic. Other mics don't have the same impedance.

As for quality... maybe your mic or mic input is defective? I use the dasaita mic (and android phone) with no issues.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] artai94:
Do you mean the internal one or the external that came inside the box?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bob_Sanders:
The external. I have never tried the internal
[MTCD Android Head Units General] nxdesign:
I have a 2015 Corolla ZRE181R. I managed the built in mic to work on my Dasaita PX6 MAX10-CP (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001566063752.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.2d8f7fdcmptC4w). The trim panel bit I bought from Joying a while back - allows your Corolla (Pre-2017) to take a 200x100 toyota universal unit. Also canbus cables is CB004 so you need to get it from a different listing and not the listing for the toyota universal unit.

But before I got this to work, I ended up blowing a little SPDT switch on the board and that shorted the mic input to ground and I could not even use my front panel mic. My temporary solution was replacing the analog SPDT switch (marked with MIAKI) with a 1kiloohm resistor (across the common and normally closed connection). My brother knows how to do SMD soldering/de-soldering so he helped me on that one (with a little fee). MTKNAVI (the seller on aliexpress) was kind enough to tell me which part I needed to fix the board with once I found where the fault was.

It should be the same unit as yours with a different front panel - just a heads up but all these units are quite generic and even the mainboard uses an STM32 microcontroller and the PX6 board is removable.

Attached is what I worked out - try at your own risk. It may allow you to reuse the amplified mic on the harness and it will sound "OK" but I still have to put this through a road test... If someone comes round to selling this for cheap in a kit - send me a free sample. A decoupling capacitor is recommended for when you wire the buck converter to your cigarette lighter connections. The ground strap for the wiring shield is separate - it never gets connected to the microphone but prevents the wiring from picking up noise.

If you need to read up wiring diagrams get them from toyota-tech.eu or any reliable source which is official or even google can help.

Remember the Dasaita supplied mic (even on the front panel) is around 1kiloohm resistance - anything that is much lower impedance may blow up something on the board and you will need help then. Also cannot confirm if the powered mic will not blow the spdt switch again if I replace it and put in a resistance on the input mic. Someone please see if there is perhaps a protection circuit to add on the mic. Any amplified mic will go boom

Your thoughts?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] RPG0:
@nxdesign WOW! I was think of trying something similar in my CHR, great job, man! So I basically need to power the factory mic and run a 1k resistor before plugging it's output into the Dasaita, right?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] RPG0:
@nxdesign That's it! Tomorrow I'm doing it! Got a 1k + 5k variable resistor so I can tune the attenuating resistance between 1k and 6k.View attachment 5404269
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
I wouldn't use a switching regulator, use a linear 7805.

The "protector" is a capacitor connected directly to the head unit mic+/input. 0.1uf should be fine.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] RPG0:
Update: It works!

I left the resistance set to the maximum it can do, which is total 5.6Kohm.

For anyone reading this, if you have the same 2018 Toyota CHR + JBL model, you need to take 12V power from somewhere else, as it's not present in F80 pin 3. I just used the Front Camera power cable from the Dasaita unit, but you can splice any ACC power.

Before plugging in, I checked on an oscilloscope and voltage that I put at mic input to Dasaita was +/- about 30mV. Seems high compared to a passive mic, but it seems to clip only if I purposely talk loud close to the mic in the roof. I'll see if I need to increase the resistance more

@nxdesign your schematic works, thanks a lot! And I confirm I didn't fry anything. When I plugged the jack in the unit, it was still using the internal mic and it was working fine. After a reboot, it started using the car microphone.

@marchnz If you're talking about the buck converter, it's a LM2596. What you wrote is above my current understanding of electronics.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] nxdesign:
@RPG0 Your setup looks clean but once you are happy with it then do remember to wrap in some wiring harness tape so it's not just wires all over the place and the wires don't get damaged over time. Your regulator needs some kind of enclosure or tape up with kapton tape to prevent any shorts and the like. I used the cigarette lighter connector - you can easily crimp a tap-off if you need ACC. There is also ACC going to the unit - it's the red or yellow wire in the harness that dasaita provides. I reused a power supply for one of these crappy mirror units my dad had in his car - it turned out to inject the least noise from what I had on hand. Once you find the perfect resistance for this I might just do the same for my setup.

@marchnz LM7805 works by wasting the energy to reach that specific voltage (e.g. 5V). Higher the gap between the input and the output - the more heat dissipated. If the upstream is noisy it may not be good enough to filter out the noise at specific frequencies. Some switch mode power supplies have really come a long way and with a switching regulator you really need to massage it to make it smooth. It's the easiest option for most people out there. Even using the LM7805 after a good switching regulator that would be better - you avoid overloading your linear regulator and you killed a lot of the input noise in the switching regulator. If you have a good idea on how to obtain nice stable noise free voltage then we would like to hear it.

I ordered a Daisata 12V to 6V supply intended for original Toyota reversing cameras from the Daisata official store to see if this is something to recommend for the microphone amp power supply. When it arrives and I manage to upgrade the harness with it then I will keep you posted on it. I would assume this what the original Toyota unit would do - with a 6V rail to power the mic and the reversing camera.

I managed to use to use 2 overkill spdt relays to switch video the other day so I can look at the rearview cam when not reversing the car. AV IN does support AHD 720p (no surprise there). Also, I have a nice aftermarket parking sensor setup that outputs to the Canbus to show up on the Daisata screen fooling the unit into thinking I have a parking clearance ecu when I reverse.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] RPG0:
@nxdesign I think the current 5.6K is close to perfection.

It was a bit too loud and seemed to clip, but I went into factory settings and set the mic gain to 0 (it was 12 before). Now its still loud enough but also very clear, sounds like talking on the phone.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
@nxdesign, 7805/linear vs switched mode/buck - is not about "modern", I suggest using a linear regulator to keep switching regulator noise OUT of the head unit or at least adequately decoupled. Vehicle supply noise you refer to are of low frequency component, while switching is high frequency, so you move the problem either UP or out of the audio spectrum, but it's still there, you just don't hear it. Not good for your head unit though.

I really don't need a lecture in powersupply design, and since you've mentioned that you're buying an aliexpress camera DC regulator, you'll likely be buying a linear regulator - and probably of basic level of electronics.

None of the circuit ideas listed above consider switching noise, nor do they DC block or Noise block / decouple the mic signal to the headunit.

I've had working Toyota factor mic for a couple of years now, creating a similar but properly decoupled and filtered solution a couple of years back.

Finally: decouple the signal to the headunit with a 0.1uF capacitor.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] nxdesign:
@marchnz I did test a decoupling capacitor on the mic input and it did not improve anything for me. But your consideration is valid and I will add it back when I can. I do decouple off where the power supply gets its 12v and 100nf ceramic is the right capacitor to use. The head unit USB socket 5V was too noisy - any idea why that is and if normal? Will try LM7805 too when I have the chance but right now my setup seems to work fine.

This is what I ordered but my impression is this is just another switching power supply... I'll post pics when I get it.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000340322513.html
[MTCD Android Head Units General] RPG0:
@marchnz I just did the same thing for the factory mic on my Juke. That one also needs 5V power, if anyone finds this, but only one signal wire.

This time I followed your advice and put a 0.2uF capacitor in series with a 10Kohm resistance because I saw the Juke has mic signal around the 2V area, so it needed DC removal for sure. It works fine.

I think you are both right and wrong about the need of a capacitor.

The CHR factory mic has mic+ and mic- wires which indicate to me there is no DC so no cap needed for DC removal. Unlike the Juke that has only one mic signal back and it's at 2V +/- 0.5V or so.

Used an oscilloscope to confirm and indeed with a cap this went down to AC level.

...Or I might be completely wrong, but both worked for my cars

Edit: Microphone was clipping in fact, changed resistor to 120Kohm, now it's fine. This is for the Juke, with a "Tesla style" unit
[MTCD Android Head Units General] diplatis:
@RPG0 could you, please, draw a simple schematic of your wiring? I have done the same wiring on my Nissan and a Pioneer Multimedia source without capacitor and resistance and I get a lot of noise in the mic signal, so I will try adding resistance and capacitor.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] katak79:

I should have read this beforehand but I did it the same way as always. Magisk, restore images, OTA updates, magisk install to inactive slot and I get this and I can't get it to go away and it didn't update either. Root is gone as well but it didn't update.

[OnePlus 9] TheBurgh:
Just updated through updated stock image. Thanks for all your efforts
[OnePlus 9] notiflux:
In my case I have found that it is not necessary to flash the stock boot image in order to update. I simply installed the update, rebooted to bootloader, booted the patched boot.img (not flashed), and installed Magisk to my boot partition from there. That way you don't permanently mismatch your ROM from your boot partition in case you are not using global ROM (which is the case for me). I don't know if the boot partition actually differs between the ROMs but this feels cleaner
