This right here is the answer and the route I ended up taking. Pull the entire contents of your internal storage before doing this.

So I ended up doing a factory flash to Oreo... I thought about it, and the last time I ran a stock rom was back when Motorola's Droid X was hot ****, so I felt like I'll see how it runs just for the sake of seeing a stock rom in action. Bootloader remaining unlocked though ;)

Appreciate the instructions; I might give that a shot, but last night I was so frustrated (not at this ROM, at the device in general), I just did a stock flash and took the OTA update. Gonna play around with stock to see how it feels as I haven't been on a stock ROM since my first android...

Unfortunately no go; it errors at the Red warning, and freezes at the Google padlock screen now, after flashing boot.img from SXE after flashing Franco r59. Don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but system is also reverting itself to ext4 from f2fs.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give that a shot!

Clean flashed, can't get out of either a bootloop (after install) or Google logo freeze (after attempting boot.img restore), it just won't boot no matter what. Followed instructions, made sure to change option in TWRP not to format since I'm coming from f2fs. Flashed Franco r59 afterwards...

Yea unfortunately this is same/similar results from my previous two clean flashes. At first I thought the sole culprit was the battery, and after replacement/another clean flash I was hoping for better results. Unfortunately we're a couple months after the replacement and while the battery is...

Man, this damn device. Started freezing presumably out of nowhere. Maps freeze, Facebook freezes, media players freeze. It'll display the force close message, and after I force close the app(s), the wallpaper resets to "stock" -_- Took my Gnex out of storage, and while it's a slower phone...

Got mine December 2015 and after just having Ubreakifix replace my battery, phone is unfortunately still super sluggish. Massive lag when plugging into power and attempting to use maps, bluetooth is still a humongous pile of garbage, and it's just not performing well. Really crossing fingers...

Currently using the 0718 version without issues. Had to make sure Magisk was updated and then config ARISE to install the compatibility module. I also run Magisk in core only I think.

So I started noticing an incredibly odd bluetooth issue (on top of the cutouts) that I'm wondering if anyone else had noticed. At random times, whatever I'm playing through Google Play, will change tempo and get faster, then slower to get back into proper tempo of the song. Anyone notice this...

Luckily not quite there yet, fingers crossed. Just went through a battery replacement at a third party shop.

Man, reading of yours and everyone else's experience, I really should have bought my device from Google and not Huawei :/

Couple days passed, and BBS is finally working normal again. Have no idea what changed, I did not reinstall or redo anything else... I'll take it though.
