Bugs in lineage os for Moto g4 athene - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

I recently installed lineage os on my Moto g4 athene device and also installed gappa s super zip. I have encountered some problems I gonna mention in here
1. In status bar there is no network icon for each network if you have two Sims and if you want to change data connection from one sim to another you have to go into settings only there is no short cut for it in status bar and also each sim setting cannot be accessed directly from status bar . This problem cannot be solved by third party status bar modding apps I tried literally everything.
2. On top bar volte symbol not shows up and LTE symbol shows up but font is very small even we cannot sure that we are connected to internet or not . In stock from below LTE symbol there is two arrows shows internet connection.for non data sim it does not show on which network it is like 3g or 2g by showing symbol H or E .this is also cannot be repaired by third party apps.
3.motorola camera app keep on crashing . I addicted to Moto camera app I think it is very good for this phone but in this lineage ROM only Google camera App works .
4.i downloaded Moto explorer and removed Google's native file explorer . But now I am facing error like there is no application that can give permission to give access to the memory card on Moto explorer.
5.while in roaming Google apps cannot be downloaded from play store .
So please fix them in next update . Don't say use third party apps . I used almost every apps . I think it's good if you fix these problems natively .

Please do some research before starting a new thread for things already discussed. Use lineage oms or RR to customize status bar. And 3-5 you can find your answers by searching, while native Motorola apps will ever cause problems when ported. LineageOS has nothing to do with manufacturers native apps.

I'll answer what I can, hoping others will jump in with suggestions (or as strongst has suggested, see what you can find in your own research )
2.The unofficial Lineage OS OMS ROM has VoLTE in the notification bar and also network traffic indicators (not as small as on stock, but still can be enabled). Still shows LTE and H+/H in lieu of 4G and 3G.
3. Here are some edits you may have to perform to get Moto camera working (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/how-to-motomotorola-camera-official-t3551851). As I understand it, they change the focussing methods. You may also wish to try flashing the Nougat Moto camera from here, which is newer than the one in the Play Store. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-camera-t3540473
4.Hmm, that's odd - as in the FAQ Moto Explorer should work. Your SD card is formatted from your device (rather than on a PC or other device)?
5. This is not a solvable fault with Lineage OS - this is a 'feature' introduced by Google in the Nougat update, presumably to prevent users using all their data allowance whilst on holiday (where data charges can be very expensive, especially if you were to be downloading constantly on the Play Store). I understand that some carriers in India and possibly elsewhere use roaming, the only workaround is moving to a non-roaming network or use Wi-Fi to update.
On a side note, I got the impression from your post you may be happier on the stock ROM.

it works perfectly although there is no auto focus
but if you still have a problem try placing a convex lens[it can be a magnifying] glass in front of camera so that lens touches tghe phone
had to turn up the lights in my living room, now works like a charm
Yes, due to lack of auto focus, it takes time. place the phone at such a distance so that the QR Code fills about 80% of the box and DO hold the phone still until it detects the code. or simply try zooming the webpage on your computer so that the QR Code becomes bigger and then scan it.

zooming up the page makes it easy...
if all the above does not correct the problem, try clearing the cache partition where temporary files are cached. Search for 'clear cache partition on MotoE (1, 2 or 3, whichever you have)' and use the motorola advice. Worked for me when nothing else did.

Essential apps/services closing when close button is used

I'm running on Resurrection Remix based on CM13 where you can configure the Navbar with extra buttons including a close (x) button that very much closes the app on the foreground. However, i found that with this single action, a multiple of other apps running in the background with essential services are also being force-closed. And that includes Kaspersky Internet Security and a firewall (NoRoot or WebGuard, both exit). The icons representing the apps disappear the very next moment from the status bar after tapping the close button. To confirm, I cross checked the running services. However, a couple of other apps run regardless, like the Internet Speed Meter, BBC News, Google Now etc.
Now, i know that a simple solution to this problem is to operate and use sans the close button, but I'm really hoping that there's a workaround on it, counting on the fact that some apps persist and some don't.
Can someone please suggest a solution. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Additional info:
I tried prioritising the apps using Memory Locker. Even converting KIS to be a system app. None of the methods worked. I can provide more information if i missed any. Googled for all possible solutions I could find, in vain.
PS: I'm unable to attach the screenshot; says network failure on both data and wifi :

[Official EMUI 5] Bug discussion

We got the official EMUI 5 on Nougat for Honor 8 distributed officially. This thread hopefully serve to list all the bugs encountered for the official release of EMUI 5.
My routine after receiving an update is to start fresh with a factory reset. The OTA update went fine and the device was running great. However after backing up everything to google and Hisuite and doing a factory reset i found a bug
During the initial phone setup after reset, i was able to connect to my wifi and login to my google account. Then the option page between choosing restore from backup and set up as new phone i tried restoring from backup. The phone failed to connect to my google account. It cited no internet connection. I tried using my mobile data and my internet from Mifi device without success. I ended up choosing setup new device and i found all my internet connection is running fine.
I tried factory reset a few times including going to recovery clearing th cache and factory reset. This is a stock device. No custom recovery or unlocked boot loader.
I found that i cant kill aplications when screen is looked and as well with aplications that draining my battery to much.

Requests and/or bugs:
1) GUI / Settings to Disk that shows & allows setting of encryption, including user password/pin different than actual password.
a) in lieu of this, it should work with the $vdc commands from adb shell or terminal emulator
2) GUI / settings : Adoptable storage interface and ability for the OS (Just like plain android 7, 6, 7.1) to show the actual "pseudo-internal" storage and however your decided to subdivide your sdcard (ext). Apps should go to the least full of the int or ext SD.
3) Release your source code (the hostage crisis should be over by now). You've done nothing to help development yet. There isn't even a TWRP that works with Nougat encrypted. Get the blobs as needed by devs out there. It's starting to look like you just lied about being interested in the development scene.
4) Notifications on lockscreen (I think that's enough to say).
5) Don't even bother to put in settings that don't work or work correctly. There are many of those.
It's a start

I find an annoying bug in b360 is what follows: when you click on a three dotted menu of an app like WhatsApp, earlier you could just drag you finger on the page below the menu to exit it and at the same time use the page, now you have to do one tap to exit and then you can use the page. It's a step more and it's annoying.
Sometimes expanding and shrinking the notifications of a media player gives strange results, like dimensions not optimised or stuck on fading animation.
When you click on three dotted menu of an app in the PlayStore, it leaves a grey mark above the menu. Of course, as I said earlier, to exit the little menu you have to do a single tap outside it, otherwise you cannot simply begin using the page below to make the menu disappear from itself.
Please Honor quickly release an update to fix these bugs. Oh, and I agree with who said that your promise to collaborate with developers is starting to sound like a lie. I come from honor 7 and honor 6, but won't buy the next if you don't get things right with Honor 8.
Huawei's own backup app doesn't work on EMUI 5. I am used to titanium backup but on EMUI 4.1, using the built-in backup and restore app for data, apps, call logs etc was very convenient. However on EMUI 5, this app can't be downloaded from the Play Store too as it's target API is upto MM only.
I have some bugs
First With the WiFi, I have a router belkin with 2.4 and 5 ghz bands and when I connect to anyone I can't connect to the other, i need to forgot to connect to the other one or connect to 5 ghz band and go far when the 5 ghz don't appear and connect to the 2.4 ghz doing that I can connect to the two bands.
The other bug it's with the option to get down the notification bar with the finger, sometimes won't work I need to go to the settings and work again.
The other bug it's with the battery saver option to low resolution to 720p wont work.
And finally, in my case the adb USB debugging don't work, in my computer show me offline and in the phone don't appear the window to allow permission
1) SmartKey gesture, swipe down to show notification panel doesn't work sometimes. Workaround is to not use the SmartKey once and then it starts working again.
2) Stock message app. Replying from lockscreen is buggy. Sometimes it opens the app and sometimes not. When it does open the app, and type your reply from the keyboard, it doesn't register it. Workaround is to hide the keyboard and type again.
I can confirm the wifi bug. It took a long time to happen (which is why it was probably missed during testing) but at some point during the night it disconnected, and I had to restart to be able to reconnect.
Other bug I have in beta and now in official it's some music files when I use stock music app play with no sound, but use vlc and play well all music

LG v20 H910, How to remove carrier name in statusbar?

Hi
I tried searching on xda if there is existing query like this but there wasn't that is why i created a new thread.
I have bought an LG v20 H910 unlocked in Pakistan with internal 64gb memory and on android 7.0 (not sure if rooted because i am not tech savvy, i just use stock rom). The device is unlocked and works with the sim that i put in but there is a branding "Pakistan telecommunication network" in the lock screen as well as on home screen taskbar when the sim is inserted. I tried changing the sim (on a different network) but it didn't resolve. I also tried finding the option in settings menu to hide operator name in the taskbar but there is no such option.
The point is, it is taking a lot of space on taskbar which is almost half of it and blocks the view for notifications. Also, it is quite annoying to see it. If it were a logo i would have ignored it but since it is taking half of status bar that is why i am annoyed and want it to be removed/hidden.
Please help me with this. I really love this phone but this thing is turning me off from using it. I have put my sim in old phone and using it till i find some solution for resolving it.
For reference i have attached the screenshots.
Same problem with "Telephonica 02 UK Limited" taking up about a third of the status bar.
Did you find a solution in the end?
Guess it depends on the carrier. I'm in Canada with "Videotron" and it's nowhere to be seen in the status bar...

Well not as of yet. I have found some workarounds but i don't know which one might work.
1. first option is to install system UI tuner from play store, granting adb permissions and see if the app opens any settings for hiding the carrier name.
2. flashing it with some other rom.
3. rooting it and then installing custom rom.
i have tried the 1st option so far and there is no such option in system ui tuner to hide the carrier name. I am afraid of doing the rest of other options because i am not a techy person and i dont want to end up with a bricked phone.
Pakistan Telecommunication Mobile Netwok -> Ufone ? @awaisagha can you share with me your modem-dump of h-910, My H910 shows only ufone or the carrier i am using name, but my modem has got no carrier data

Download good lock in galaxy store its an app available in samsung mobiles only it will help you customize ur phone. Within the app look for NavStar i will allow you to change the nav bar icons.
here is a video showing you how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wH26KM1elg
also f its not available in your country like me in France, i found a solution on reddit which is working:
"use a VPN (select country where Good Lock is available, example US, South Korea), remove your sim tray completely. Go to apps and force close Galaxy Apps. Then clear cache and clear data for Galaxy Apps. Next open Galaxy apps and you'll see it picks up as you were doing a fresh install (marketing info permission requested,etc).You'll have Good Lock available for download (search it in Galaxy Apps). Once you download it, open it and download the stuff you want: edge light+, sound assistant, one hand, etc. When everything is downloaded, access each one of them and do your setup as you like: one hand, edge light effects. Finally re-insert your sim-tray back. Close VPN connection. Galaxy Apps will return automatically to your country specific and you'll have Good Lock available. When updates are available for Routines, one hand, etc, you either repeat the steps above: remove sim tray + vpn and the updates will download (you open Good Lock and open each app inside it and you'll notice the update available) or sideload the updates from apk mirror ?"
