Had no idea work profile has its own VPN slot. Thx for the suggestion. The setup is working pretty smoothoy. Only concern: work profile apps can't automatically read OTP. So far, all the apps I use allow manually entering OTP. Hopefully it would be an issue. Also, I can't disable notifications...

Unfortunately that's not a solution. There are many apps that need to bypass VPN while still being able to connect to Internet, like banking apps. While I can always just turn off the VPN before using such apps, that would also turn off the firewall feature, right? Going by that logic, I can...

I wanted this for the screenshot feature. Did not work. But I found a possible solution of the issue of binary download getting stuck at 99% . I used a VPN. The download was considerably slow, but it finished.

I tried this method because I have somehow already lost stock persist. My /persist folder is totally empty now. I have nothing to lose. But it is not working. Upon reboot, the persist folder is getting automatically erased. Is it because I am on 8.1.0? Will a Nougat stock make a difference?

Thanks for keeping this old phone alive through these updates. However, there seems to be some incompatibility between this ROM and every version of TWRP I tried. Every TWRP gave me ERROR 255: Can't execute '/tmp/updater': Exec format error Only thing that worked for me is the LineageOS...

Is the Mediatek chipset inside this thing really that bad? On paper, this phone seems to have more or less the same hardware as the very first Moto G. However, the OG Moto G was usable as a daily driver ( It was the first ever usable budget Android), this one is not. Software has always been...

Offline download is working in rooted Vanced as well as in the Xposed K-L-M-N hack. It is not working only in the non rooted version of Vanced.

I just want to say thank you for creating a config that actually works. I tried everything, and yours is the best. The difference in quality is actually visible. I didn't have to use my imagination to see the improvement. I am yet to check this camera in daylight, but based on what I am seeing...

Just wanted to report that official offline download feature is not working anymore. I am getting a premium subscription window when I try to download. Background play is working still.[COLOR="Silver"]

None of the UltraCVM configs work. They all crash when I try to take a picture. Video works on Gcam as well as UltraCVM. Gcam video quality is very bad. Modded UltraCVM takes somewhat better video. but I am gonna stick to the stock camera for now. These cameras do not seem worth the hassle...

Here is a sample image. It is a set of three images of the same scenary side-by-side. Among the first two (left and centre), one is taken in 48MP mode, the other is taken in default mode. I will not tell which one is taken in 48MP mode. See if you can figure it out. (Hint: You can not, because...

I was wrong. This camera does have 1080p60 and 4K30. But for some reason last night it was locked to 720p30. No idea why.

60FPS video recording is crashing. Since the stock camera is only 720p 30FPS, this is a big bummer. I do not need 4K but even 1080p 60FPS would have been nice. But if I turn off 4K in Gcam, the camera crashes. Edit: I got 60FPS working on stock. No idea why that option was greyed out.

Survived nearly 12 hours of heavy use. The battery is excellent.

The stock camera only takes 720p 30FPS video. How is this even a thing in 2020? With Gcam, I was able to go up to 4K 30 FPS, but since I do not know how 4K should look, I do not know whether it was actual 4K. 60FPS crashed.[COLOR="Silver"] Edit: It was a mistake. See my next post. Gcam 4K...

Quad Bayer 48MP means only 12MP after pixel binning. I do not see how choosing one from every four small pixels is better than simply having regular sized pixels without binning (other than being able to market it as a 48MP camera). The photo quality is not crap. It has less noise than my older...

Low light on this phone lowkey sucks. It is not as blind as my previous phones, but it is not great. Hint: Go to pro mode and increase the EV to max. Quality will be crap, but at least you will be able to see things. Decreasing shutter speed also helps but it is only a visual change. The phone...

The device looks great. I was really thinking about buying it because my current phone is starting to have charging issues. Simply getting TWRP will not be enough. The device likely has dm-verity. So it will require a custom kernel too. But development for that can not even begin until TWRP...

Sadly this project seems dead. Is MyAndroidTools a good alternative?

Is this a good phone to buy in 2020? I am using the Moto g5s plus now. I am lookin for an affordable phone that has 6GB RAM and water resistance. But all recent Moto releases have 4GB. I would also love to have the front fingerprint sensor. I use fp gestures and Moto actions.

What? I always had password. OK here is the thing: These days Android comes with Encryption enabled by default and on many stock ROMs there is no way to turn it off. It looks like this: It has always been enabled as long as I had stock ROM. I had to run dm-verity- forceencrypt disabler zip...

I had TWRP on stock ROM for a long time. I never saw any situation where TWRP asked for password to flash zips or perform backups or anything like that.

That doesn't make any sense. What is the point of an encryption that doesn't allow the device to boot even if I give it the right password?

TWRP doesn't have any password protection. So what's the difference between "can" and "will"? And I just checked the Magisk installer script. It definitely does mount the /data partition. There were total 25 hits for /data in all three of its scripts. Here is one example: initialize() { #...

Files get decrypted every time you access it. TWRP lets you browse the contents of internal storage. It also lets you connect the phone to PC in file transfer mode. If you can flash Magisk from TWRP then TWRP can decrypt the storage. How else is it gonna write to the data partition? Maybe if...

Encryption is pointless on an unlocked device because TWRP can decrypt it without requiring any password. Encryption works only in combination with locked bootloader. Even if a thief unlocks the bootloader, the unlock process deletes the encryption keys. It is possible to use some devices with...

Can you please share what you did? Finding the optimised set of permissions for AFWall+ is a real pain.

What I found out is that keeping only a bare minimum amount of modules active under Magisk and EDxposed helps. EDxposed framework is not as robust as Xposed used to be. Under old Xposed, once you found a combo of modules that boot, you could be sure that it would work every time. Not so much...

Yeah I am using LineageOS now. I am happy with it.

I think I should change the battery then. The phone is only usable between 84% and 29%. (about six hours of medium usage). It never goes above 84, and never goes below 29. As soon as it drops below 29, it shuts down.

Why is battery not going above 84%? This is a significant issue on a phone that has an useless 3000mAh battery to begin with. Once it crosses the 84% mark, charge amount goes down to 10mA. I tried charging overnight, but it never went to 100.

It was my first time installing the ROM. It was already a clean flash.

YHAFA EdXposed is crashing on me while trying to load xlua. Any ideas?

The ROM is pretty good. I wouldn't jinx it by calling it the best ROM yet. Why is qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 not sticking? I set it using Kernel Auditor, then reboot, but the nav bar is still there. The key I created has vanished.

Why is the phone immediately shutting down after booting? Update: it is rebooting and going straight to TWRP.

So the last ROM I had on my Moto G5S plus required me to disable dm-verity and force-encryption. Now I want to sell the phone and would like to secure erase all data on it. But I do not know how partitioning on Android works. Right now I am on Stock ROM which has encryption enabled. If I fill...

The best way to flash Stock ROM on Moto devices is to use Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant. It wil work even if you have custom ROM, recovery, and unlocked bootloader. Guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/how-to/using-lenovo-moto-smart-assistant-to-t3889006

This worked for me exactly once. Then Play Store in its infinite wisdom decided to update the app and deleted everything in the process. Now I can't get it working anymore. The app keeps crashing. Permissions appear to be correct.

EdXposed is not usable at all. It causes all apps to fail to load about 90% of the time. I need to kill and restart every app a few times before they will load. And there are way too many crashes in the background. Sometimes the keyboard crashes preventing me from unlocking the phone.

Thx for the info. Does Pie improve performances in your experience? Otherwise, I don't wanna bother.

This is what I hate about non-Sony Android devices. Nothing comes close to Xperifirm. I have no idea what these terms like "Default", "NPN", "CID", "regulatory", "subsidy", "retail" etc mean. Which one is the latest for India? ---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at...

Did you find a fix for Wifi problem? I am having the same issue. ---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ---------- Does that patch still apply to the latest version of this ROM?

WiFi keeps dropping Please help me. Wifi keeps dropping again and again. Here is my logcat: [06-06 20:31:51.703 20311:20311 F/linker] CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/vendor/bin/wifidisplayhalservice": cannot locate symbol "_ZN11CWFD_HdcpCp19m_eHdcpSessionStateE" referenced by...

WiFi keeps dropping This isn't the ROM either.

wait is this a different ROM?

:o

MinMinLock works fine for me.

Hi Fif_ Is there a known issue with BlockGuardOS,Open on Android Pie?I am using Magisk 19 and EdXposed to run XPrivacyLua. XPrivacyLua is working. But even after downloading the BlockGuardOS.Open hook, Public.Storage doesn't appear on the list of restrictions. Edit: Actually, nevermind. None of...

So I installed Pie and I need the fingerprint firmware. Do you have any idea where to get it?

Can you make the versions more clear please? Which one is Oreo for XT1804?
