revived my Moto G5 Plus as a work cell! Good to be back...how is this for the 2/32 variant?

Roger that man....and had a little pie in the face moment, but I think I can make do, the honest reason for having stay rooted on my 2/32 is to manipulate the hell out of the stock kernel, custom stock kernel or a Pie kernel to try and find the sweet spot for performance and battery and really...

Not exactly the answer I was looking for. The exact question is, unlock bootloader on Nougat or unlock after upgrading to Oreo? Or get the unlock code while on Nougat, upgrade to Oreo and then unlock and root?

My 2/32 has aged pretty fast and by Monday, I will be the proud owner of the 4/64 but to warm that up, gotta use the stock Oreo. Is it better to unlock the bootloader and root the Nougat and then flash this (or restore an existing backup from the old phone) OR unlock the bootloader on Nougat...

If I end up with the 4/64 variant (then my 2/32 lives on as some backup device/wifi)...pretty sure it still will have stock Nougat. If I upgrade immediately to Oreo via OTA, can I still unlock the bootloader and root, or unlock it on Nougat and then upgrade via OTA and then root it? Also, true...

Really? Looking like I'm leaning on Kraken, where I'm currently on the first build, haven't tried the new build but I read it's a clean flash bc of kernel change. But RR, I really would like to go back and get the customization I miss. On Kraken, I pared down to 104 user apps (on Stock Oreo...

Is it indeed good for 2/32? I have a good thing going with the Kraken build but if the RR is working good long-term...that'd be nice if I could go back but this time just with pico or nano.

This ROM is perfect! I do though because of my setup have to restart my phone every 2-3 days to shake the cobwebs out and keep it as lag free as possible. But otherwise this is the first Pie rom where I can open up Google Maps and it doesn't cause total lockup or Spotify and not have the LMK...

Crossing my fingers, have to get past seven total days of operation before I go, we found the zeitgeist. Flashed the kraken-project (seems to be based on AOSP Extended if AEX went on a huge diet). Downloaded the SmartPack Kernel mod of Kernel Adiutor and L Speed. I won't go through the list...

Might be a chance for me then to use Brave Browser for Android as news went out that Google is killing ad blocking capability.

So my preferred setup would perform better if I went with a ROM with only Pico gapps?

I've tried. I need to have my batterybot pro, today weather running in the background, along with being able to use google maps. while still have my mlb at bat, espn, fenix (twitter) and facebook all also in the background. I also have the Ring app to control my doorbell, the Starbucks...

I am going to give this another try, this time flash mini Open Gapps, which mirrors what Stock Oreo gives and then see if I can cut the apps I use on Stock Oreo by at least 25%.

How is this any different from the last one? The last one had the Feb security patch?

How unfortunate. Went back to my stock backup. These things only work as long as I don't reboot the phone.
