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!
Hi, anyone that already got the phone can see if it has Widevine L1 support, please ? Install this app (DRM info) and take a screenshot please.
Hope this is what you're looking for

Yes it is, thank you very much, although I'm still a bit sad it's only L3 ?.
Yes certainly, I don't even know if any redmi or xiaomi phone has L1 certification. Tho for a small screen on a phone I feel 480p Netflix is more than tolerable. Anything else hasn't been impacted by only having L3.

I know but 1080P would look bit crispier, but I don't mind that much, I'm kinda used to it on my Redmi Note 4 anyway.
Will Xiaomi have an update on 4K video recording and L1 support?

Screenshot:
nevermind guys, i flashed liboemcryptor disabler for netflix, which says "Please note that a consequence of using this module is that Widevine DRM will fall back to using L3 instead of L1. This means that Netflix will play all content in SD quality, regardless of your subscription type. Of course, without this module, you won't be able to play anything on a rooted device, so beggars can't be choosers."
sry.
also global version with L1

Can't you have both unlocked bootloader and drm L1? In oneplus u can't but I thought in miui it was better....
All Xiaomi mobile phones have L1 support.
If not your rom developer has done something wrong.

Hey guys,
I'm a complete noob here.
Recently was handed an Amazon Fire HD 8 2015. It had Fire OS 5.1.2 installed, and I didn't know anything about it, so when I first connected on my wifi network it updated to the latest (AFAIK) Fire OS 5.3.6.4 (5.6.3.0?).
I really want to install a custom ROM, but as far as my reading in this forum allowed me to know, this isn't possible at the moment? So I guess it never will, as this is an older model, and as it seems it wasn't very popular?
So, considering all that, what are my best options to make this thing more usable? Right now it's very sluggish. Even if it's main purpose is for reading PDF files, and browsing the web also mainly for reading news and stuff.
It seems like the RAM is the main culprit with the stock software? Would changing the launcher help?
Also, is it possible to root it with this firmware? What about TWRP?
I'm really looking for help on what's possible to hack in this model with the latest firmware. Most of what I read is directed to the Fire 7 model, and I'm never sure if the methods presented in many posts will brick my Fire HD 8.
I'm also considering just replacing the launcher and uninstalling Amazon apps that are possible to get rid of, to have a lighter and faster system, but I'm not sure what methods are possible without root for this system, and I'm afraid to brick my fire just trying random stuff.
Really appreciate any help.
TIA!

Gracias por la respuesta!
I just managed to install a new launcher and get Launcher Hijack working (got pass the childish app name block from Amazon). It's a completely different tab now. It's flying!
If I just can get the device rooted to remove some more Amazon crap, and get my simple stuff going, then I can be 99% happy!
Another person is willing to help me to root my device using a hardmod found here on XDA. I'll read the thread carefully to find out if my model is compatible. Crossing my fingers here.
Thank you for your help once again!
Hey all,
I'm running a custom rom on my GT-P5110 (usually Lineage or Omni). Widevine DRM (L3) is present and working.
However, there's an app I need that requires Clearkey DRM specifically.
Does anyone know a custom rom for this device that already comes with Clearkey? Or is this any way to patch or spoof Clearkey to this device?
hope you can help
Been wanting to tinker with this, wondering if anyone has tried yet, if so could you point me in the right direction as Google, and duck duck haven't yielded any results.

Yes it can be unlocked with the standard bootloader unlocking instructions for pixels. We are working on LineageOS for it, currently the repos have already been forked to the primary organization. We are just doing the finishing touches to it before it will go official.

To expand on this there are a few devices that are very similar so they share the common device tree. Google ADT-3 (Deadpool) and Dynalink TV box (Wade) are using the same board. Onn box is a variant of the board used on those with a few features and hardware removed to cut cost presumably. Everything is sharing a common kernel because amlogic has a unified kernel that supports all their soc's.
Unified kernel means this can be easily ported to s912?
Thanks for the info. Will that allow root, and backup using twrp? Software is part of equation, I'm working on a hardware piece to allow more storage, but I have to wait on the more savvy software guys like you to cover the ends I can't. You guys rock!!

Hey folks - I've installed Lineage OS "dopinder" for the Walmart Onn Android TV device. Can't run Netflix on it. Ultimately I want YouTube without ads.
Looks like I will need to run Magisk on this thing.
Can anybody help me run Magisk on the standard OS? It would be nice to have Netflix and also to be able to install some kind of ad-free YouTube. Has anybody done this yet? Anybody working on it?
I'm a noob to all this but if anybody would like to help me, I would love to try and get Magisk working.
For starters, does anybody know where I can get the stock/factory image? I erased mine when I installed Lineage OS on the Onn Android TV UHD device.
Do I need the stock recovery, too?

No need for rooting or flashing a new ROM. You can easily have ad-free youtube with Smart Tube Next. All you *should* need is the SmartTubeNext apk from github, a USB OTG cable with power, a USB stick, and a file explorer from the play store. Navigate to the USB stick and install the apk. Allow sideloading when it asks you. Log in and enjoy. Netflix should be available on the stock ROM.
This is all assuming the USB port on the ONN is OTG capable, which most streaming sticks have.
Hello, do your devices has parental control settings? My 4k box no
Does this work for the onn tv stick?

From my understanding the stick version (for $25) is not OTG capable. The box though (for $30) is OTG capable as I have checked it out myself. You have to use a FAT32 filesystem though otherwise the OS won't read the drive.
it’s now $20 at Walmart. Best value for sure
I'm looking for the universal remote codes for the uhd 4k box.........anyone have those? Thanks.
Does Netflix and Amazon prime still remain fully functional with lineage os or no?
Is there a specific section/thread for developement for this box on here? I just picked one up seems pretty sweet for 20 bucks!

For prime video you can sideload the apk. If you want to see development there’s a lineageOS build in the Google tv section

Development is pretty good on this thread: [UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for Amlogic G12*/SM1 Family Devices. It can get a little confusing due to the mixture of several devices, so you should read pretty much the whole thing.
I'm sticking with rooted stock on the 1st of 2 that I got until Lineage gets a bit more refined. Many thanks/kudos to those in that thread for all they have done and are still working on.
Second one is still pure stock OOB (never setup or connected to the Internet) that I am just experimenting with prior to actually flashing/modifying anything. It is still bootloader locked, yet I can still boot the Lineage recovery (odd). Actually flashing it w/o unlocking is doubtful, but still remains to be seen until I decide to bust it's cherry
Time permitting, I'll post some Onn Walmart (aka dopinder) specific things here if anyone gets lost over there. Just ask.
Happy trails...
