Is the modding scene dead or dying?

[chazz69]

That pretty much says it all. Since Android 10 rooting a phone(Motorola at least) doesn't give you an actual root. It's a kind of partial root where the /system is not rooted. Without access to /system root has very little worth, as well as preventing you from actually owning the phone. Most modifications you want to do come in the system folder, especially build.prop. The make shift TWRP also doesn't get /system mounted.

So, has the modding scene died? Have mega corporations won? Is the WEF plan of "you'll own nothing and be happy" nearly complete?

only applies to stock ROMs. some more information. you have device for testing maybe you can contribute to TWRP with this.

Yeah, sure. What would you like me to do?

Idk? adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and ask the maintainer in his TWRP thread to fix whatever is broken (janky?) in your TWRP? (if touchscreen is broken, you can link the hint from spaceminer that dtbo needs attached)

sometimes just devs need to get in touch with each other. I don't know what exactly you can contribute, maybe just convey, but most devs are happy for testers

There is no TWRP for moto g power 2022 that I'm aware of. I've tried the same one you linked to before and after you linked it but it won't boot. Not surprising as that is for a 2021.

The 2021 is Qualcomm, the 2022 is MediaTek.
The dtb and the kernel are completely incompatible.

#11 OP mentioned 2021. #33 that's why I asked for code name

My Moto G Power (2021) is:

motorola/borneo_retail/borneo:11/RZBS31.Q2-143-27-22/46674:user/release-keys
HWID: 0014d0e102e80000, QC: 0014d0e1, OEM: 02e8, Model: 0000

some people have issues with touch screen in all TWRP threads (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Right on. I'll tinker around with it when I have some free time. I've pretty much given up on the future, it's dying. I'm going back to the past. Plenty of new, old stock phones to be found on eBay that can actually be rooted and modified to my hearts content.
