Hi, noob here. Excuse me if this is not allowed. Just purchased used BT-200, would like to root, install Google Play and DJI GO 4 to attempt to link with both my Mavic Pro and Spark. Tried rooting myself per instructions but got stopped at Super SU. I'm not a developer or anything like it. Is there anyone on this forum that could handle this for me for a price? I'm in the Los Angeles area.
Thanks in advance,
Ian
If at first you don't succeed.... successfully rooted and installed Play Store. Niw, what about DJI GO4 compatibility issue?

Hi Guys,
I am planning to flash Cyanogenmod 12 onto my S5 but before I do that I would like to know how to achieve a minimal install of Gapps.
What I would like to get is the Play Store and any other required service (like syncing etc...) and then install only the gapps I need directly from the play store.
I have searched the forum and the internet with no luck and I would really appreciate if you could help me out.
Thank you
Hi all.
I haven't updated my rom for ages. I have used Phoenix and Omega. I recently wanted to get back into PokemonGO but found out that you cannot play on a rooted handset.
I like to use Xposed as it makes a device so much more than what it is but I want to be able to play PokemonGO too.
I have sifted through various threads, guides, YT videos. I just cannot find a definitive answer.
I saw that using CM13 and SU, SU hide etc. would work but I cannot find a link for CM13 that works.
Has anyone any ideas on how I can play PokemonGO and use Xposed on my device?
Mods, you can close this thread. Thanks.
Hi, and thanx for the chance to introduce myself. My name is Tom and I've only just realized that anyone can make modifications to their Android phone. I found XDA when I googled a search for how to jailbreak my Verizon Moto Z Play, I take it from reading posts that unlocking it is not possible yet. (Hopefully soon).
For now I am using an XT1607 Moto G4 Play which I bought with the SIM unlocked and I've also Unlocked the bootloader. I'm looking forward to developing my own apps,
but for now I'm wondering what modifications would be recommended for the Moto G4? I'm not familiar with the various firmware and software modifications and though I've found some apps to add, I would welcome suggestions for those as well.
Thanx, and Semper Fi to any of my USMC brothers

After unlocking your device, one of the first things you'd want to do is install a Custom Recovery like TWRP or CMD. I use TWRP. You can search four your device and download the correct file here: https://twrp.me/Devices/
This will allow you to create backups of your system, install Custom Roms (modified OS), give you root access and install modified apps, to name some things.
So once you installed a custom recovery, you might want to try a cusrom rom. They offer some great extra features. Just make sure to create a full backup (also called "nandroid") in TWRP before, just in case something goes wrong.
One of the most popular, stable and fluid ones is LineageOS: https://download.lineageos.org . It hasn't got so many extra features but works great!
An other good rom for what I've heared is InvictaOS. It's a bit more customizable than lineage and works great as well.
An other good thing to do is root your phone. You can achieve this by installing magisk's zip it TWRP, and then installing the Magisk Manager .apk. You can download both from the magisk thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
This will work on your stock rom as well as on custom roms.
Install Adaway to remove popup add like videos in games: https://adaway.org (root needed for this)
An other cool mod is this modified youtube app to remove all adds from videos and allow to play with the screen off or the app in the background: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-iytbp-injected-youtube-background-t3560900
All the information you need is in the first, second and third post.
I'd probably recomend the third post method, using the magisk module. It's the easiest one, you just have to download the file for you CPU architecture (arm for moto g4) and install it in the magisk manager, in the modules section pressing the "+" icon (Root also needed for this).
You can find guides to all of this on youtube, and always read all the instructions before trying anything.
Many of your questions will have most likely already been asked, so also search the threads before asking something.
Good luck!
Hello all!
I have been using my Nexus 7 (2012 Grouper) almost consistently ever since I bought it in early 2014. As with other users, I tried updating to Lollipop and Marshmallow, found them unusable slow, and rolled back to 4.4.4. I've been using 4.4.4 ever since but now with the core Google apps and play services getting heavier even 4.4.4 is becoming sluggish. I'm considering switching to a custom ROM such as Cyanogenmod, but to be honest I'm a little overwhelmed by all the content here on the XDA forums. Further complicating matters is the fact that apparently Cyanogenmod is no more - all links to Wiki and files are all dead.
So I guess my question is, whats a good, stable, light ROM available today that can will work for the Nexus7? I;m really only interested in using Chrome, and PDF readers on WiFi - I would not really care for NFC or even the camera.
Second, I have used ADB to lock / unlock bootloader and flash recovery images (from Google) before. What would be a good starting point to start reading about how to install TWRP (which most custom ROMs seem to require), enabling root, etc?
I recommend LineageOS 14.1 by @aaopt. Runs really smooth without gapps. I use yalp store to download the few apps I want on it.

Thanks @Charles IV! Especially for Yalp Store. I was concerned that the new Google Play Services would grind any OS into the ground.
Unfortunately I'm a noob at flashing custom ROMS. What is a good place to start reading about the process? I'm currently looking at the instructions for CyanogenMod but a lot of the links are either broken or incomplete now.

look at the lineage wiki for any device, they are mostly the same, but sometimes different, so look at a nexus devices guide.
If you want ota updates as well, I've got a server running at download.charles-iv.uk, but beware that this is run from my pc so there might be a bit of downtime.
If you're not bothered, head over here once you're set up with twrp and all. Just beware @aaopt probably has real life stuff so updates won't be regular.
I put Unofficial Slimkat 9.2 on my son's grouper and he loves it. I has gapps included. Great for minecraft I'm told
I have nAOSP 7.1.1 on mine. If you want Play Services without lag, just download and flash the OpenGapps Pico zip onto your device, like I did. Still lags a little bit, but not as bad as Lollipop.
I recently bought 2 of the new 2nd gen 7" Onn tablets with Android 10 Go Edition for my young kids. I have been able to root them with help from the wonderful people here.
Has anyone run into problems with the limitations of Android Go? Mainly it has disabled the "Draw over other Apps" permission/feature. This is mainly necessary for the childproof app locking protections I want to install.
As a work around I've have to get an old apk from a compatible app that doesn't request that permission, and this has worked so far. But I have other apps I'd like to use that don't have old apk's that work.
I assume once we finally get a full copy of Android running on one of these we won't get that feature. Just curious if anyone has another work around?
If you have them rooted, have you looked for a magisk module that might allow it? I am playing with flashing an Android 10 GSI right now. If I can get it running right I will post in the other thread I started
