I've flashed a couple Sweet ROMs but it's always the sound that doesn't work. Superstarz ROM is the only one that worked yet. It's not bad but dosnt give me more room on Internal memory.

Well, about 4 days have passed, and in those 4 days, I have rooted my phone, flashed a custom ROM, and been through about 5 different kernels. I am really enjoying this experience. I have done a few other things, like set up wireless tethering, and installed a custom boot animation, but I feel this is not enough lol. I am very eager to do more, but don't know what else to do.
What haven't I done that can be explored? Share your favorite things to do with your rooted Dinc!!!

Start flashing CM7 nightlies
I've been the same way ever since I got into the android platform.
You can get into themes and basically design an entire theme if you want.
I always seem to come back Redemption Roms though when I'm switching back and forth in between roms. I tried the CM7 but just always end up coming back.
You guys have any idea how I can get the trackball wake feature to work with skyraider 3.5? Do I need to download a zip file or what? I was told it came standard with skyraider, but it's not working for me
It is very addicting, I must say that I at one point flashed 4 roms in one day until I found the perfect one.
I've been flashing CM7 nightlies and I'm getting ready to flash CM7 RC2. Of all the ROMs that I have flashed I must say that I am not budging from CM7, it rocks.

Haven't flashed SR in a while. Check around in settings.
You can also try out 'Launcher Pro' (easy to switch back, just uninstall) from the market.
It's pretty sweet and I've been using it ever since I've downloaded it.

Flash more ROMs and try them out. I had SR3.5 for about a week after I first rooted my Incredible. I went to Warm 2.2 for a couple weeks and then I've been on CM7 since January 10 or so. Flashing a new ROM is like having a whole new phone.
I still have nights where I'll flash one or two different ROMs, completely set them up, and then decide I want to go back to CM7 and restore my backup. I'm definitely trying the Gingerbread version of MIUI when it comes out - the current version doesn't beat out CM7 in my opinion, but the next one might.
I recently bought a LG G4c. Well, after testing it for about a week, i decided to root it.
I succeeded; KingRoot did its job. But now i'm looking for Custom ROMs and stuff, Kernels... but i can not find anything. Are there any Custom ROMs and Custom Kernels or am i blind? Well, i already found "Flash Stock ROM" and "root LG G4c", but honestly, that's all.
Please help
Man I am also searching better software for this awful phone, it is not working properly, my S3 was times better with cynogenmod than this piece of ****!!! Never buy lite version of phones done by LG - completely bull****. I dont even understand why they brought this cake on the market as is is really really lagging and bad. I have a 64 gb sd card in it, 30 are free, 350 are free on the system flash and this piece of **** tells me i have not enough space for an sms? ARE U KIDDING ME?!!!

Well, if it's rooted I recommend you to get Link2SD (Plus), so you can move Apps fully to your SD Card! (; But i wonder...honestly...why there are not any Custom ROMs.

Maybe im missing something but they have a custom ROM for Cricket and not for MetroPCS? Whats up with that? Is there one for Metro Or T-mobile? I have a unlocked Rooted SM-G530T1 With TWRP And No custom ROM Anyware I look. is there perhaps a cyanogenmod build that would work with the T-Mobile/MetroPCS Variant? That would be super cool. Anyone?

I have one built for G530T T-Mobile but.. I have not finished adding somethings to it yet. It's TW based and deodexed so you can install Xposed. The thing that is holding me back is not being able to restore backups when testing builds, as well as TWRP not being able to flash large zips since we don't have an official TWRP specifically for our device.

first off thank you for your work because without developers such as yourself we would have nothing and i mean nothing so thanks man. ok so it is so weird because i had previously ran a TWRP for a different variant that i thought worked great until i went to use the backups that i made.... it would only save the system and not even the whole system like 30% or less. i lost a lot of stuff but now im thinking there might be a connection within the grand prime.... its just very odd that you are having a very rare but simalar issue dont you think? come to think of it i couldnt flash large zips either!! man there is something to this because itwould let me flash superSU but if it was any bigger it would fail me out. i still have the TWRP if you want to look at it if it helps but im not a DEV but i do see clues here and there if something is not right. just let me know and thanks for getting back to me.
Hey I have never been a tester before it would be a good experience for me and since i have bricked this phone several times already and brought it back no problem it seems I have enough knowledge to do the job do you need a tester?

One thing you all will find is that the factory ROM with xposed installed is just about better then any custom ROM for any model phone in my experience because it more stable than custom roms. I think custom roms are over rated. I've bricked enough phones to understand this first hand.

you know i was just looking into that yesterday and i have to agree with you because although Cyanogen and the others are great and user friendly, (no disrespect because i have builds 10, 11, and 12 running on various devices as we speak) but they just dont give you the freedom i saw when i got lost in the exposed repository last night HAAHA! i couldn't believe that i was seeing the stuff i was seeing! You know when someone says " why are you getting apps and programs to hide your activities, i dont care if some corporation wants to look, i have nothing to hide". i just smile and then make an agry face and say " Listen to me clearly, it is not about having anything to hide, far from it, it is about me having things like the Right to Privacy and Freedom of Speech and so on" and a lil thing called the BILL OF RIGHTS EVER HEARD OF IT?... ..... you get the point. i dont think we need me getting into some political rant... but it just got me thinking as i looked at all those add ons in the repository, "why am i so excited about this? This should be in every phone right?" WRONG... Wrong because it has already started a little chip at a time just like it always does throughout history, our rights are disappearing make no mistake and until one day we will wake up and have no rights left! Maybe a Bar code on the back of our necks or some Johnny Mnemonic type crap! Remember that movie?... but seriously people need to wake up! oh and can you explain to me how to get exposed on my phone i think im doing it wrong or something... sorry bout the rant im a litte crazy when i want to be Haha!

Maybe just not enough people have the phone or want to do anything with it.
I think most stylo 2 plus owners moved to the 3 so there well be no point in spending months working on a rom that no one will use...
Hi there. I am kinda new on these things.
I am at my home right now. I have the time to backup everything.
I am on stock right now , I have started getting a bit of lags here and there.
Should I root and install a custom rom?
And if yes , what is the best combination of kernel and rom for the best performance and battery.

DO NOT INSTALL CUSTOM ROM, if you have to ask that question.
On a serious note, a factory reset will take care of all lags.Rooting is for those who have a spare phone,want to play around and can afford brick sooner or later. Moto has determined stock to be best for all others.

I am not so new dude. I have installed custom roms many a times..on my canvas a1.
On that device , it was good bcoz the device itself wasn't so good.
But this moto g5 plus is a nice phone. That's why I'm asking whether i should install custom rom or not

Acknowledged !! and my apologies.
Rooting and custom roms work well on MotoG+.On some of the latest Oreo roms I was playing around with in the past couple of months,the camera app broke more often than once.If you can live with that in exchange for performance, LineageOS 15 and Pixel Experience roms worked great.
But as with any phone, you have to play around for the best of latest or for stability.
Just my two cents .

What about the battery life?
Can i use greenify etc with these roms?
Thanks for the reply
Install only if a stock firmware higher or equivalent to your current version is available. Else you will not be able to go back to stock. If you attempt to downgrade you will run into problems with bootloaders.

Battery life is pretty good on the custom rom side. All updated ROMs are now Android 8.1 and are 64 bit. I usually get 6-7+ hours screen on time and switch between every rom that's released For battery and customizations I recommend AEX or Validius. Also, you can use greenify on any of the custom ROMs and root with magisk and pass safety net as well. I Also recommend you download from telegram group as those links are updated more often than xda.
Telegram links are:
t.me/g5pluslinks ---> All new ROMs released no chat
t.me/motog5plus ---> Release of new ROMs / kernels but lot of chat too.
t.me/MotoG5PlusStuff ---> Collection of all kinds of camera apps.
Too late. I failed to root. And now my camera doesn't work. :Cries:
Gonna try flashing stock (some 92 version ) which has the Nov patch. Older one failed(downgrade).
Help me if you can. PLEASE.
I can explain everything I did.

I believe that using custom kernel was the fix to that issue, not 100% sure as I never had the issue myself. Also, if you decide to go to a custom rom you won't have that issue (it only affects stock rom). Another option if you want to stick on stock is find the thread on here for TWRP flashable stock ROMs and use latest one for your phone.
I'm not able to select SD card storage in the recovery mode. What's the issue here? How do I fix it?
