Please help with Magisk on Moto G6 play!

[johnkubik]

I have been experiencing MASSIVE slow down and lag in all of my Apps the past month. When I have facebook messenger open, or my camera, everything slows to a halt. It is making using the phone a nightmare.

I tried getting an SD card, doing a full factory reset, and a few other things, but it is still going extremely slow. I have read 100s of forum posts, and nothing I can find seems to be working.

I was able to install TWRP recovery, and would like to root my device so I can start uninstalling the moto apps, or further diving into figuring out why my phone is going slow.

I can not get the Magisk to install correctly, and have tried so many things now that I am at a loss...

I tried doing a "format" doing a "wipe" putting the zip file on my external SD card, but nothing is working.

If I just go and try it normal I get the "Can not mount storage" error that seems to be coming for the device being encrypted. If I do a format or wipe it does not give me any errors and seems to install correctly, but when I reboot (it goes through the encryption process, and "new phone setup" process) the Magisk manager isnt installed. If I download the APK manually it says it is not rooted. (I tried Magisk 17.3 and the latest 18.1 and 18.1 beta)

I have no clue what to do now. Any one have any suggestions?

People kept talking about it, but I couldnt find the files to patch in Magisk, and when I used the TWRP that was supposed to be decrypted it wouldnt flash.

Would you happen to be able to find the forum post describing what to do? I searched again and couldnt find any instructions. Sorry to ask... I have seriously just been googling this for 2 straight days and cant figure it out.

Can anyone provide an update? I cant stand how slow my phone is.

1. Flash TWRP.

2. Mount /Vendor in TWRP, then flash the universal encryption disabler which can be found in this thread.

3. Format /data in TWRP using the option that requires you to type in "yes".

4. Reboot from twrp right back into twrp, then flash Magisk.

5. If for some reason Magisk claims to not be installed after flashing it, then manually install the Magisk manager app. It should fix it right up.

6. Profit.

Twrp with /vendor mounting can be found here for 16gb variants, and here for 32gb.

DDDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are my hero! That totally worked!

I just did it and was able to debloat my phone.

The stupid part is it is still going SUPER slow!!!

Any idea how I can fix slowness? I think I just need to get a different phone. This is unusable.

If no 3rd party apps are installed and it's still slow, then you probably have a hardware problem. If you do have any 3rd party apps installed, I'd try removing them one by one to see if anything improves.

Well... there is no way to see if it is slow if there are no other apps to use. ;p

Do you know if there is an app that shows CPU usage per app?

But thanks again!

I think there was a misunderstanding here. What I'm saying is, after you debloated the phone, if you didn't install any apps and it's still acting slow, then you might have a hardware problem. I don't know of any apps to check CPU usage. Best I can think of is the battery settings. It'll at least tell you what's running the most. You could also check running apps in the dev settings to see what's using the most RAM. Between the two it should give you a good idea if a system app is doing something unusual.

It is possible that you're just used to a much faster phone though. My J7 Perx was way faster than the G6 Play, and it frustrated me for a few weeks. Still kind of irks me to be honest.
