I really want a good developer to make a good ROM for xt1706 Moto E3 and E3 power..plz....
All threads for E3 have been closed . ?

Just take a moment to think about that request.

Let me say I want to see that too and I agree with your post.

BUT............

Motorola made a huge mistake by moving to mediatek in the E3.

Motorola E1 and E2 now have android 8.0 Oreo.

If I'm totally honest, I don't think E3 will see 8.0 or any "decent" ROMs.

The Moto E4 is out, development will start for that.

Mediatek won't release the updated drivers for android 7.0, so VOLTE won't get fixed.
Will Motorola release 8.0 source codes for E3? Of course not.

Unless a developer takes a great interest in the E3 you won't see anything else for it.
E3 was very difficult to get 7.0 and I honestly can't see it getting anymore.

While like you I would love to see many more ROMs and 8.0, I have to be realistic and honest to anyone reading this.

I just don't think it will happen

Perhaps a good custom marshmallow ROM..:eek:
Oh come on.

That's not going to happen either because anyone developing ROMs for E3 have only gone for nougat.

Why go backwards?

That just doesn't make sense to me at all.

We might as well say let's make a great lollipop ROM, there is no need to make a backwards step!

We all have to face up to the fact that development may be coming to an end for the E3.
And we cannot blame the ROM development teams working so hard, we can only blame Motorola/Lenovo for moving to the pathetic mediatek soc.

I would like to get a Nougat custom ROM. If anyone has it, ping me, please.
Just search moto e3 power custom ROMs on you tube, there's around 8 or 9 nougat Rom's for anyone who can be bothered to look .............

Please in future don't hijack another persons thread with an off topic question.

Your question is nothing to do with this topic.

Its very rude of you to hijack someone else's post.

Its even more annoying having to tell you not to ask off topic questions........

A few people have already said here there are several nougat ROMs around, especially on you tube.
All you have to do is go and look, not get others to do it for you!

Moderators

Please delete this off topic question.

Excuse me, but this is a discussion about continued development (android 8.0) for the moto e3.

If you want a ROM with working video, make a new post, don't post about it in this thread......:rolleyes:

If you want a ROM with working video recording, I also suggest you go back to every moto e3 ROM thread here on xda and read the about the camera problems.

If you didn't know, as there was no official android 7.0 update from Motorola, the cameras are using a hack to work on 7.1.2 ROMs.

That means until there is some king of official fix from someone, the cameras won't work, and there's no need for you or anyone else to keep asking about it.

Go to any moto E3 forum anywhere on line and they will tell you its going to take A LONG TIME to fix this (and VOLTE) and the fix isn't going going to get the camera up to AOSP standard any time soon.

For the last 2 months I've been visiting this site every single day looking for an Oreo Rom or a stable Nougat Rom. Thanks to Samar V, I installed Lineage OS but it didn't feel right. Volte not working , Video recording etc.

I got frustrated with Linage then I downgraded again to Marshmallow using TWRP backup. I thought I should stick to basic but then I found Xposed Framework. It's freaking amazing

Just install a module called Gravity Box and N'ify or O'ify you'll get all the features. Best part is Volte works , Stock camera and Google Camera works flawlessly. You can also install Dolby Atmos

When the Google lens come out , you'll require a stock camera. Lineage's stock camera and Footej Camera isn't even 10% on par with Moto stock camera

Can any one can make custom Android Oreo go ROM for Moto E3 power?
No.
Not at the moment.
Nougat custom ROMs don't work correctly on the E3 and E3 power because they are still using a marshmallow firmware.
Mediatek also never released the updated drivers for the processor so that's why the E3 never got a stock 7.0 ROM, or 7.0 custom ROMs with working VOLTE.
Unless moto/lenovo release android 8.0 source code and mediatek update the processor drivers, there won't be any 8.0 ROMs for the E3.

I read somewhere a dev was working on 8.0 but I've heard nothing for several months and assume the project was abandoned.

I now don't even own my E3, as it was the worst moto I ever owned and 7.1.2 custom ROMs are what eventually killed it.

A link to what?

What was mentioned in the post you commented on was a return to the stock 6.0 ROM and using xposed modules to theme it to look like android Nougat.
So you asked for link to the stock 6.0 ROM saying you wanted a stable 7.0 rom !!!! :eek:

I suggest going to YouTube and searching custom ROMs for E3 there, but I warn you, not one ROM available on there is stable and every single ROM has an issue of one description or another.

I don't have my E3 anymore and I'm a little surprised you are asking for something some two months after that comment was made.........:eek:

hi,
why all the threads are closed?
and why mediatek dont release drivers for our chipset?

Because the Motorola E3 was obsolete once the E4 was released, so Motorola/Lenovo saw no need to tell meditek to update the drivers to allow the E3 to have nougat.

Come on, you must release the E3 was never going to get updatef, that's not how Lenovo work, they don't care about us the users, they just get us to buy a newer slightly better device, and not update that one either :eek:

I got rid of my E3 middle of last year, and that's the last E series and last Motorola I will ever buy.
