I have a Moto G4 Plus XT1644 which I rooted right after receiving it last year (still running the stock Android 6.0.1). Somewhere in the process of customizing I enabled a feature that turns off the screen by swiping the bottom of the screen right-to-left. Now I'm trying to configure a second phone with that same feature but i can't remember how I did it! I'm thinking it was a custom option selected during the rooting process but maybe I remember wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

OK, I notice I'm running the ElementalX 3.10.84-ElementalX-G4-0.07 kernel. Maybe the feature I'm looking for is what they call "sweep2sleep". If I update the second phone to the latest stock Android update are there any issues with then flashing ElementalX?

If you are talking about a moto g4 or any other devices supported by Elemental X there is no problem.
Actually my G4+ is running stock rom (April Update) with ElementalX and Magisk.

Can you disable heads-up in stock ROM??

For rr-oreo 8.1 64bits what's the best way to clear app's cache in one single click of all apps. Any suggestion would be helpful....

(Mostly) every ROM has storage settings, in that tap on cache data usage and it will clear it.. (Screenshot for reference)

Does anyone knows if one hand mode has been implemented on oreo roms?
Few months back when I was on LOS 15.1 feature wasn't there

PremanshuRaj · Jul 23, 2018 at 3:20 PM

I am having problems pulling down the status bar during usage of apps which are in full screen like youtube, games like pubg.. I have used RR and HAVOC. I face the problem in both the roms. I just don't know what configuration i have changed which lead to this. Kindly help

Yes, it was loose, but as I said, this was fixed already, but the problem with "charging over USB" still remains. The temperature is not that high, so that isn't the issue. Today I'm gonna try with another turbo power charger, but I don't think the charger is the problem because mine is new.

Having the same issue, tried 2 chargers. Same issue. The port on my phone is slightly loose. Not sure if that's the issue or the cable (have tried a few but they're all relatively cheap ones off ebay)

Your screenshot shows the groups of apps that are in Settings > Storage, which is not the correct place to clear app caches. If the settings in Oreo are anything like they are in Nougat then try this instead: Settings > Apps > select an app > clear cache.

Hi, I want to give the phone to my buddy, running later rr ROM. That is running already. How can I make sure that everything personal is wiped? All apps with settings etc as well?

Edit: this guy is really not into rom installing etc
Does it make sense to downgrade from Oreo? Didn't use the phone with it as daily driver so I really don't know about stability

In system settings you'll find "backup&reset" where you can perform a factory reset of your device which will reset to default.

If you feel that he needs a reliable phone, it's more recommended to flash the latest stock rom instead of a Oreo custom rom if your friend has 0 knowledge about custom roms otherwise he's getting angry maybe

Thanks man I think I've got it done now with rr 585 and deletion of internal storage partition as well.

Hmmm, got a strange issue with my XT1622, no USB access what so ever. The device charges, but nothing else. I've been running Cyanogenmod/LineageOS since there was a booting image, this is something of the last months. (firmware update that I missed and is required for correct functioning of the device?)

I've been updating my xt1625 (via clean flash) regularly for many months and there have been no bugs regarding charging or USB connection, nor have there been any firmware fixes required to have proper USB connection. On native charger; turbo charging works properly, and when connected via USB to Linux and Windows PCs; charging, ADB access, and MTP file access all function as expected. Additionally, during that time period I've occasionally used the USB port for OTG devices (external SD/hard drives). Also, AFAIK there have been no other similar reports here or at LOS Jira. If you've eliminated all possible 3rd party factors and are having that problem in clean flash with no mods then you may unfortunately have a hardware issue similar to that which others have posted about previously in this thread.

If you can establish this is actually a ROM issue (IMO an unlikely possibility) then bring it back to the development thread and to LOS Jira with full details, confirmation of clean flash, logs, etc. It also could not hurt to test on stock or a different ROM for comparison.

Ah, ok, then the phone probably is dieing on me after 2 years (found initial backup of stock image on the sdcard of 1 juli 2016). Will have to look if I'm sticking to Moto or switch to Samsung (Moto's are getting to big)

Thanks for the reply. I don't use 3rd party factors but the problem persist. I have others devices with LineageOS but just Moto G4 has this bug.

AGAIN - "Whether or not this is a Lineage OS ROM issue, [no-one has provided] any supporting evidence or expected bug reporting details. It is possible that you've discovered a bug or known limitation which is specific to certain carriers or circumstances but the reports become meaningless in the absence of any supporting details which would help developers fix the problem... If you can reproduce the problem in a clean flash with no 3rd party factors (no SuperSU, no Magisk, no Xposed, no vyper audio, etc) and still think it is a ROM bug then please submit a proper bug report here and at LOS Jira (https://jira.lineageos.org/)."

More bluntly stated: Please make your report meaningful or stop trolling the dev thread and use this one instead. You may have discovered a real issue and there is a path to determining that for sure and possibly fixing it.

Could someone tell me how Firehound ROM is?? How does it perform? How's the battery life??

marsh96 · Aug 6, 2018

im new here. after rooting my phone with SuperSU i updated my phone (without knowing that it would cause problems) and while rebooting after update, its showing No os installed and entered the recovery mode. i can only access the twrp recovery mode. i cant enter the bootloader mode. i tried adb sideloading the stock firmware but its showing wrong zip file format, no MD5 file found. My device is g4 plus XT1643 running on stock android7.0 kernel is vegito (custom). Even if i restore my backups, it still shows no OS installed
