My Moto g4 play - Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers

I have a Moto g4 play on Lineage OS and which time I update on nightly update. First most of the time I have to manually update it not though the OTA updates. Secondly which time it removes my Google services like the play store so I have to reinstall gapps each time I update. Which is every week I hope they fix this soon because it's making me want to change ROM and I love Linage OS but if they don't fix it soon I will have to install resurrection remix or something like that. Please help! ??

[Q] CM 10.2 - Google Play 4.6.16 - how to update?

Hi,
I'm still using CM 10.2, how can I update google play to 4.6.16? Do I have to reflash new gapps (coudnt find a new package)?. I saw some apks on androidpolice but is it safe to install it? I wouldn't bother the whole process but since yesterday I've been facing battery drain caused by google services. It happens every time google releases something new.

[Q] Question about CyanogenMod Installer And ROM Update?

Hi,
I've just install from the new installer CyanogenMod the ROM, after 2 automatique update, now it's tagged:
11.0-InstallerXNPQ32P
I think (from the note above the version) it's a M8.
What about the M9 and M10? It's comming in automatique Update (OTA) or I need to install it manualy?
Is the Installer version are something different as Mx?
ps: it's a very stable ROM (version), and I don't want change from a M9-10 right now, it's about know if updates are avaible from the Installer version and if a CyanogenMod 12 (Android L) comming, it's possible by Automatique Updater (OTA).
Hi, same question, please?
Me too ?
Personally, I would install TWRP, create a nandroid backup of your current ROM, manually flash an updated ROM and test the new ROM for a while. If the new ROM is unstable, restore your previous ROM from TWRP.
I think I have an even better question.
I hope this is a good question. I have loaded the CM installer version and to my delight I was back on 4.4.2 KK. I did not like the official 5.0.2 L update everything was slow and sluggish and I wanted to get back to root. Upon setting up my deb-razorg and after all apps were re-installed I had received a CM Installer update and I am now on 11.0-InstallerXNPQ32P aka 4.4.4. Click check for updates under system updates yields nothing it simply shows your system is up to date however during the process of updating google play services and I am sure frameworks somehow in my notification shade it shows System update available (Android 5.0.2 System update). I do not want to make this mistake again as this is what I saw using stock ROM right before going to Lollipop. The question is why would I get a separate OTA from Google why would I get an official OTA or AOSP update at the same time I had been getting back to back CM Installer updates? They appear to be two separate updates so not only do I not want to go back to Lollipop I am scared that would brick my tablet since I am on CM Installer. I cannot get rid of the official update from notification shade. Please help the question is not specific to the device I would just like to know why I am getting two different update prompts one official and one from CM installer?

unfortunately not, and i don't know why. i mean, the device has a snapdragon 410 which is developer-friendly so this isn't a problem, maybe it is because of the lack of developers using this tablet.
Is it possible to port other Galaxy Tab A variant custom rom to SM-T550?
Lol i need the kernel so i can try ubuntu touch on 550
UPDATE on Lineage OS for SM-T550
I found a custom rom for the sm-t550 running Lineage OS with Nougat 7.1.2. I installed it on my tablet and it ran pretty smoothly. I had an issue with google play services crashing though. Here's the process of how I did it.
First I downloaded the zip file by visiting Android Biits website and enter SM-T550 in the search. Should be the first link
Then I copied the zip file to the sd card of my sm-t550
Boot to recovery and do a backup (strongly advise)
Now do a factory reset/wipe data
Install the zip from sd card
Install Gapps for Nougat 7.1.2
Reboot the device and proceed with the setup and enjoy!
If anyone can solve the google play services crashing please let me know because I like this rom and would like keep it.
SM-T550 with Lineage OS 14.1
I have this ROM installed, but there's no audio through the devices speakers. The Play Store doesn't crash for me. I flashed open Gapps pico version. And I have Magisk running with Xposed framework installed. I have to use bluetooth headphones for sound though. I don't really mind having no sound, but if there's a fix, that would be ideal. This is by far the best ROM I have installed on this device thus far. Completely debloated and runs smoothly. I left a message on androidbiits about the sound issue. Hopefully deadman from github that created the ROM can do an update.

It's not recommended to install stock gapps cause they are overwriting some apps like camera etc. from LineageOS and causing problems as you see.
Better to clean install lineageos again with mini/pico gapps.
As for the stock camera you can use that one, it's working very well on LineageOS based custom roms https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-motorola-camera-t3596659
The moto camera from play store won't work and other versions don't work too.

One recommendation when installing a custom ROM is to use Micro GApps instead of Stock GApps.

Is Maschmallow much slower than Lollipop?

Hello. I've learned about not making updates with my moto x play (after 7.1 OTA phone slowed down enough to be unuseable). So with moto x force I'm on 5.1. Phone is slowing every year, but still able to use it. I've read about many performacne complains with 7.1. Is it the same with 6.0?
I need to have custom dpi OS supported mode, not included in lollipop. Is it worth to make OTA?
