Moto g4 plus android nogut and miui8 rom - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Flashed miui8 rom on my moto g4 plus nogut.
Everything went smoothly but as soon as it reched the configurations screen it blacked out.
Need some urgent help!!

I guess it doesn't have anything to do with flashing after nougat or marshmallow.
They recommend to install through MM because MIUI is 6.0 but this error (screen blackening out) occurs in both cases (at least with me and some other users).
This happens to some people (me included), they still don't know why. Happens to me ever since the 1st version released of MIUI to the last one available.

[Help] Back after long time, huge amount of confusion

Hello,
It's been almost a little over a year since I was last really into android customization. Since it's been so long it has become clear to me that my phone is outdated in many ways. I'm still running OxygenOS 2.2.1 with Android 5.1.1. I've been wanting to update up to Android N (7.x.x) for a long time now, but haven't seen any real stable roms or haven't really had the time to look for one. Now I've finally found my self with free time and ready upgrade my rom. I've just faced couple of problems, I can't really find what should I do when upgrading from 5.1.1 to 7.x.x since no-one is really doing that anymore. I remember reading sometime back that if you dont have the right firmwares you'll brick ur phone, and I wouldn't really want to go through that hassle at the moment. Is it still a thing or should it be just fine for me to flash a new rom just on top of this? (Ofc with clearing memory etc) Other question that is in my mind is that is there any critical bugs in Android N roms? It's bit unclear to me since there are such many roms that have their status as work in progress or beta etc, but some roms have status as stable. Are there any roms that I should clearly avoid? Im not new to this so I don't really need any deep info how to do everything etc, just a bit of a oversight on how things are going atm.
Thanks.
first of all is ur device rooted?? If yes then install the latest twrp recovery...then take a backup.. and flash any nougat rom which u like...If at all u would need Volte support then u l have to flash the 3.5.7 firmware..or else the 3.1.0 firmware works fine with most of the nougat roms..some nougat roms i would recommend are AICP, Resurrection Remix and AOSP extended .... In my suggestion u should probably first upgrade the Oxygen Os on ur device through official updates via OTA atleast upto the 3.5.6 firmware
there's no need to update until 3.5.6, unless you aren't going to plan staying with OOS [the only "stable" firmware which provides you VoLTE working, but it's still M-based and not N].
as @mhd athiq said, unlock your bootloader [just in case you still haven't done it before] then update your TWRP recovery to the latest version.
then flash the incrementals OTAs until OOS 3.1.x and you are good to go to flash any custom ROM which is N-based.
to avoid any mistake, please make a EFS backup via terminal [just to have a backup of your modems] and save the files to a safe location.
I don't have a specific ROM to suggest to you, but in my experience I have found the CAF/AOSP-based ones to be the ones with the best battery backup and less bugs then LOS-based ones.
I have used happily for a few months CypherOS version 3.5.1 [not the latest one, I find it quite unstable as the developers tried to implement OMS].
sidenote:
flashing N-based custom ROMs upon OOS 3.5.6 firmwares gives random reboots and unstable network in many cases/scenarios.
so don't update to that OOS version unless you have a mandatory VoLTE feature required [but you'll have to live with random reboots and poor network stability].

I know this was a few days ago, maybe you've already figured it out?
Assuming you've already unlocked your bootloader and installed TWRP (custom recovery), than you can definitely flash Resurrection Remix. Our device codename is "athene" (that includes all variants of the G4 and G4 Plus).
Check out the development section in the G4 Plus forums. There you will find RR for our device and the latest build is 04/26. I've recently updated the OP of the thread with updated links to GApps and such. Also, don't worry about needing to be on stock Nougat as your device doesn't have a fingerprint sensor anyway. Good luck and lemme know if you have any more questions!
nice i have another question

None, it's very stable! They're official builds if that tells you anything. All features work great, even the stock Motorola features like "chop chop" etc. Motorola Camera can be a little tricky as there is a few options, meaning it can be a little confusing for some I think to get installed and working correctly. If you want help with that, lemme know.
Just make sure you take a backup in TWRP before you do anything and you should be fine.
what about
what about battery life vs the stock rom? and i know if i change resoluction from 1080 to 720 i can get more battery life? and the other thing i dont know is wich gapps i should download cuz when i enter in the link there is a diferent version of gapps aroma , aroma 64 etc etc

Your mileage will vary as far as battery usage goes. I don't know about changing your devices resolution from 1080 to 720 (not sure that's possible, but you can change the overall dpi. There are a couple options for doing this within the rom). As far as GApps to choose, in the OP (original post) of the Resurrection Remix thread there are recommended GApps to use. Open GApps is fine too, but just make sure to choose at most the "Mini version" for ARM. Whether you choose an Aroma version is up to you.
Just a word of caution
I have an xt1625 as well and I've tried ressirection remix rom and it runs great....for about 8 hours. Then my cellular data connection dies. I can't figure it out. It happens every time. My cellular data only comes back if I wipe and reinstall. It woks fine on other roms like Invicta os. I have no clue what's up with resurrection.

New to Zenfone 5 Scene at XDA

Hello,
I've been using my Asus Zenfone 5 for last 3 years. It came with Jelly bean and got updated till Lollipop. After the Lollipop upgrade there were a lot of issues including battery, signaling, storage and apps crashing.
I followed some tuts and recently downgraded to KitKat. Having no issues for now.
I get an on-screen time of 4 hours and 11 minutes. Not sure if it's supposed to be bad or not. I'm looking to flash an AOSP ROM, preferably KitKat or Lollipop based as I'm tired of ZenUI and the poor battery backup.
I've previously used a Moto E, Galaxy SIII and Moto E2. I kept the Zenfone instead because of the better hardware and features it offers.
Also if you link me to a ROM, be sure to link the flashing instructions as well. I'm using dual SIM.
Thanks.
Kitkat and Lollipop cooked rom has quite lot of issues. If I were you, I would pick a Nougat rom
Nougat ROM is more stable than KitKat? Interesting. This is the first time I'm hearing of it. Can you link me to a good ROM?
Sent from my Zenfone 5 using XDA Labs
Here's one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-0-tank0412-t3548135
Of course u must know the basic, flash recovery, rom,..
The only issue that every Asus devices must accept when install a custom ROM is can't use GPS and fmradio. (A-Gps still ok).
I used RR Android 6 rom for a few months. After boring issues etc. I went back to the modded Stock Android 5 but after a few months of usage i realised its worse and yesterday I installed Android 7 RR rom. It's perfect, just like a new phone.

How do I install pixel experience on my Moto g5 plus XT1686?

I have rooted my device and have TWRP installed but I found out in some old Post in this frum that I have to roll back to nougat to install pixel experience. Is it still the case with the latest version of pixel experience? Since I'm new to rooting devices and this is my first time flashing a ROM, do I need anything other than the pixel experience zip file? Any kind of help will be appreciated.
The latest versions are based on Oreo firmware so if you are in Stock Oreo you can simply make a clean flash for the latest PE zip and that's all. I did it that way even without knowing I had to be in stock Oreo and it worked perfectly.
