I've flashed Nougat bootloader,radio, vendor, etc and currently I'm on Benzo. I was wondering is it possible to flash a MM ROM on nougat firmware. Will flashing a MM vendor IMG on nougat work?

Yes to question #1. Radio and bootloader can be used interchangeably.
No for question #2, your phone will not boot if you run MM vendor on N rom. The opposite also applies, N vendor will not work on MM rom.

I'm content with MM right now (addicted to xposed) but if you want to run both you could head over to the MultiROM thread. A couple of users said they're using N as the primary rom and MM on secondary. Then I believe you can swap secondary to primary. Just a thought.
***of course this involves some research. I've been using MultiROM since last spring with no issues at all but haven't tried N yet.

So if I update to N I can't use the pure Nexus ROM?

In short, if you want N & you want to run Pure Nexus you should sit tight. PN will be updated to N soon (hopefully this weekend).
This will be the simplest way. You can always go back, its just not always convenient (using pc or mac with fastboot)

Not sure...where do you wanna be? AFAIK theres nothing wrong with N. Only reason Im not there is cuz xposed hasnt got there yet. If youre content, stay there. Like I said, keep checking the PN thread to see if the new build arrives.
If your asking me how to go back to MM, Id use fastboot and flash the factory images (go to complete stock) start over, flash twrp, root then flash your preferred M rom.
Its a bit of a hassle but in the long run youll have less hassles (bugs and whatnot)

I'll prob just try to find a decent N ROM. Right now As long as it has hotspot working I don't really care what ROM I'm on. Hopefully the N Roms have it
I appreciate your help bro!

no problem. And like I said. Keep checking the PN thread. If youre staying on N it's probably gonna be the gold standard for 6p roms
Update--but if you want a suggestion I think WETA is good. It's got all the sound mods built in so you don't have to flash Viper, Dolby atmos etc.
Hi, I am currently running stock 7.1.1 on my Nexus 6P, I love Android pay. I use it nearly every day. With CM14 on my previous phone I could not use it. Do you know if there is a workaround for it? Or should I just stick with stock

The normal workaround people use involves using Magisk, Phil's SuperSU and a compatible kernel. If you do I search through the ROM threads you should find lots of posts regarding how people got Android Pay to work on their rooted phones.

I've seen those, haven't seen it with the new Lineage OS. With the rooted stock ROM on my m9 it worked but not with a custom ROM. So would it be the same with Lineage?

I know people are using it successfully on Pure Nexus, Megapixel Rom and Cortex Rom. If Lineage has built in Super user like it's predecessor you would need to turn that off because you need to be rooted with Phil's.

Did you have any luck with this?
Yes I did, I'm running the latest Lineage OS 14.1 Rooted and use Android Pay with my BOA card.
Edit: I could not get stock kernel to work, had to use ElementalX Kernel.

I am pretty sure nothing works anymore. As long as the bootloader is unlocked, then you are screwed. This is the exact reason we need a root option without unlocking bootloader..
What ROM's are people running on their Verizon LG V20? Im getting ready to root mine and go through that process. Looking over the ROM's though and they seem to be lacking. Back in the day we had tons of options, now we have a handful on XDA. Are there ROM's people are running that arent listed?
Using the LineageOS weekly builds and they've been pretty good. Mostly just missing out on the second screen though.

That's true for anything. Just going out on a limb here, I'm guessing since we are in the LG V20 forum its safe to assume we are using that device.
Next time come prepared with proof of your claim. With no proof and bold claims you sound like a fool.
as Android goes further the ROM field is super small now KK had the biggest amount of ROMS not a lot of this model I have this version too we have RR DU is coming down the line Lineage WETA AOKP Here is a list of ROMS https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=us996&type=files
I have a ls997 and im running Paranoid Android.
I have a vs995 and I'm running XOSP ?
Did i pick the wrong phone i cant seem to find a whole lot of roms for the verizon variant I want a debloated stock or a twrp stock flashable that i can use magisk on it is inexcuseable how much verizon pushed onto this phone is it such a tall task do i really have to choose between having no root with a carrier bloated rom and a working 2nd screen to use a asop type rom?

The Verizon build of not so stock is probably what you're looking for. Stock based so everything works minus all the bloat. Has static at boot, search some of the other kernels, there is a few that fix static at boot.

BroeknOs to be
Currently I'm running stock OS on LightningZap! kernel (still in beta, but looking like I'll have a release soon).
I have gotten BrokenOs running quite well and smoothly. But lacking the second screen is what's holding me back.
On LG V20 AT&T (H910), btw...
So I am on H91810q and I have kept root through the upgrades. Am I still able to flash another rom like LineageOS or am I stuck with stock since I upgraded so far?
Try it -- it isn't going to break your phone
Probably isn't going to run to well on new firmware though. Most of the heavy development was done on much older firmware, and those parts haven't been updated.

I'm thinking a TWRP Full Backup of the stock rom and wipe and flash LineageOS. In theory do you think I would be able to restore stock if something doesn't go right?
Yes. When you install LOS or a LOS based ROM the only thing that gets flashed is boot and system. Both of those are backed up by TWRP.

Well I just flashed LOS and I can see the screen flashing on and off but no boot. Any other suggestions? Am I stuck with the stock rom which I am gettings sick of...
Nope, you can't downgrade. Unless someone picks up development on current firmware, you can only use stock.
Not the answer I was looking for lol...

I know this isn't a custom rom but you're like me and on rooted Q, I use to not enjoy stock due to not being able to customize the phone how I liked but the instabilities in the camera and bluetooth and battery life made me appreciate the stock/stock based roms for the V20 and I actually PREFER a fully functional camera nd awesome audio recorder than inferior apps. But! Askermk2000's kernel is COMPATIBLE with rooted 10q, I am using it and it has honestly breathed new life into my phome for sure and since we don't have many rom options at the moment at least throw this kernel on your stock 10q rom and enjoy it!

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?
