I'm glad your phone's card reader is fine. I hope you didn't lose any important data.

Thanks. I guess I'll ask in the Carbon thread. :good:

I switched to my first custom ROM a week or so ago: Carbon. It works really smoothly so far. My only issue is that there is that I cannot use an FM radio app. I wonder if that's particular to this ROM or all AOSP ROMs for this device?

I was going to suggest it was a permissions issue or something, but then you said you can access the file outside of recovery for a few minutes. I wonder if that means there's an issue with the card reader driver that Motorola included in Oreo...?

Ah yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking I had to hide OTHER apps for that to work. Silly me.

I have unlocked my bootloader and installed Magisk on top of stock, and the only problem I've experienced is that one credit card monitoring app I use no longer works due to root detection. I think this is an acceptable loss, especially if I can switch to a ROM that gives me features that I want...

Thanks. Does installing the Gcam mod affect quality of photo or video in other apps, like Instagram?

Would you say that version is better than the stock Moto camera? That gives me some pause.

Would you say they're faster than stock, or is performance equivalent? Thanks.

Yeah, that can be very annoying. I understand Google's auto-backup is good for a lot of apps these days, though. In case you're interested, I think I saw someone say that OmniROM works quite well with the 32/2 version as well, but I don't remember where I saw that...

You're right. I have done that with my old phablet. I was just saying the encryption-friendly ROMs are the ones that interest me especially.

Yeah, that one. While a stolen phone with an unlocked bootloader could be flashed, no one should be able to inject ZIPs on a phone with an encrypted filesystem without flashing unless they have the password.

That would be very useful if I ever decide to take the plunge and unlock my bootloader. I'm personally interested in ROMs where encryption works; that way an unlocked bootloader wouldn't be a realistic security vulnerability, even if I did have real enemies. ;)

Hmmm, it sounds like I'll probably want to stick to stock to now. I also wasn't plan to use root, but I'll keep that in mind. Google Pay does start working normally again when you re-lock the bootloader, though? So an issue with a ROM is fixed by downloading an extra app? Odd. Is this a root...

Ah, so I would need to use Magisk or something to use Google Pay with an unlocked bootloader. It sounds like there isn't really anything of value lost if you unlock the bootloader and re-lock it later. Thank you.

That is not a bad reason. When you say that re-locking the bootloader isn't a full reversal, do you mean that a tamper fuse will be deliberately blown, and Android will see itself as running on a compromised device? I was wondering what the limitations for re-locking on this device are, so I...

Hmm, so with all these good reviews for Pixel Experience, is there any reason to stay on stock at this point? EDIT: Well, positive reviews from many people anyway

I have a US phone of the same model running the August update. I've attached a screenshot of the About Phone screen, complete with build number.

As one of the people for whom this tool is not working, I second this.

I'm also getting the "unsupported device" message with a retus XT1687. :confused:

Oh thanks, that makes things way more clear. If only the microG people updated the install instructions.

Has anyone found that the 15.1 builds for shamu (Nexus 6) are unsigned? Running the keytool command with the options listed on the microG LineageOS website, I get a message about how the zip is not a signed jar file. Not knowing what else to do, I tried changing the file extension from .zip to...

Thank you for the information. I confirmed last night that she's running the latest update.

Hi there. I bought my girlfriend this phone about a month ago due to a nearly glowing review on The Wirecutter. She's having the same problem, but she's not familiar with XDA so I offered to post here for her. Is this an uncommon problem? I am not seeing any thread about intermittent System UI...

Hello anyuferrari, You are not too late, and I thank you for your advice. Is there some diagnostic test I can run to see if it's a motherboard problem? Thanks.

Applying an unofficial fix to an unofficial port sounds a bit problematic. Do you think it would be possible for Vache/fAlyaZ to fix this in their port somehow? Or would it be more of a gapps thing? Or neither?

I might also like this. While Motorola says they will release Oreo for Potter, they seemingly haven't provided any timetable for that. I am a bit hesitant to install a LineageOS nightly on my daily driver, but I would love having the option, especially if it turns out that Motorola botches the...

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place but I experience random reboots sometimes, usually when the phone is in my pocket. I don't feel the phone vibrate when it happens, so I gather it isn't me accidentally turning the phone off. I've taken "interactive" bug reports from the...

That's funny. I was wondering this but I already ordered the 2 GB one lol. That's me second-guessing myself. Currently using a Nexus 6 with a busted antenna(?).

Could this be done with Tasker?

Well, I would say that it gets hot as the phone begins to lose reception, but maybe it's the other way around. :confused: Also, I forgot to mention that turning on airplane mode and then turning it back off helps. It helps some of the time, anyway. Thanks.

While I've heard great things about the Pixel, I'm just not sure if I want to continue buying flagship devices in 2017. Maybe if the brand is OnePlus and a flagship costs less than $500 USD. That said, the Pixel has an unlocked bootloader if you don't buy from Verizon. Does it block root now...

Hi everyone. A bit over a month ago, I started getting horrible cell reception on my Nexus 6. I'm pretty sure that was around the time I dropped it on a concrete subway platform. I now miss calls when I'm in houses where my phone always worked. Changing the Verizon SIM card and using safe boot...

Is the support window for Samsung devices still inferior to those of Google phones? I remember updates being crap on the SIII and I've been using a Nexus ever since. Also, I mentioned the S7 because I doubt I would be able to afford Samsung's latest model anyway. Thank you.

You mean the OEM unlock slider? Thanks for the warning. Last time I unlocked anything it was a Galaxy S III so I am supes rusty.

But after that, you can use the Verizon SIM without locking the bootloader, right? And you need to keep the bootloader unlocked even after flashing the Google factory image?
