Custom ROM Flashlight Issue + All ROM Bluetooth Issue

[themajod]

Hey forum peeps,

I've got an issue with my Moto G4 Plus (XT1643). Using any custom ROM available (official or unofficial) causes the flashlight to basically disappear. Only by using the stock ROM can I get the flashlight to work. The odd thing is, I can still use it while taking pictures, just not for usage as a tool. I can't find its Quick Settings tile, nor can I get the chop-chop gesture to work (it always says "CMActions stopped working." Since only CM-based ROMs have actions, I use them. Non-CM ROMs like Slim6 don't have gestures.)

Any known way to fix this? It's pretty annoying not having the ability to use the flashlight when I actually need it.

I'm also having Bluetooth issues (stock or non-stock). I can't connect to media devices ONLY (I can connect to my Moto 360 just fine, but I can't connect to say JBL Bluetooth speakers.) I have no idea what's causing this. I've tried everything (flashing modem files through fastboot/recovery ZIP; reverting back to stock; ****ting myself from sheer force of anger), but nothing seems to fix it (it really pisses me off not being able to use a Bluetooth headset.)

Any suggestions for this as well?

Any help on either would be much appreciated.

I'm just ruling out simple things.

Did you try rebooting on the ROMs you installed to see if chop-chop works?

For the latter, I believe you shall need a log for a developer to comment. I have no problems connecting to media devices on the XT1643.

I've noticed this issue as well.

A workaround:

Go to Gestures (or depending on the ROM you're using, wherever the Chop Chop feature can be turned on/off) and switch it off.

Reboot your device. After its rebooted, check your quick settings and verify the flashlight toggle is back.

Then go back into Gestures and Enable the Chop Chop feature..

Yeah it's like an instruction on all posts to reboot after installing a new ROM, even with stock I have to do that.

For the Bluetooth thing, I'm not really sure on that or really who to contact about it so...

Well I tried that too and it didn't work, still not there -___-

I've had Bluetooth issues with this phone, as well as my previous Moto G 2015. Something that's been working for me is an app called Quick Fix. Not sure what files it actually cleans up as it doesn't require root to run.

I don't remember which custom ROMs have it but in some, there's an option to put flashlight as an option in your power menu.

After that, toggling it on from there triggers a soft reboot. After that both the QS tile and gesture work fine for me.

I don't know why you are having issues in stock ROM though...

Well idk how that fixes anything for you given the fact that this disclaimer was in the app's description:

***Disclaimer: This is a placebo app. It only asks for a reboot. Regularly rebooting your device can have many positive effects***

Anyway I tried it for the hell of it, and nothing; same stupid ****.

Actually, I tried that earlier, but it ended up the same. Apparently, I bought a new phone just for some stupid but oddly important things not to work on it -_-
Also, what I meant with stock is that I also have to reboot to get the flashlight to work, after that it's 100% fine. Thing is, I'm not a fan of OEM ROMs, all of them have a certain feature on it that just ruins it for me,so I use RR or CM mostly.
