What are you talking about....
All ROMs have the stock LG Camera app... Minus the AOSP ROMs, which will not have it, just the stock Google camera.

i guess that answers my question. i had no luck flashing anything other than AOKP. everything else just sat on the boot screen for an hour.

This means one of two things. You are not flashing supersu on top of the ROM (most ROMs should be flashing it for you-- like mine). Any time you introduce a boot.img, it must be accompanied by a supersu flash. The kernels get patched by the SuperSU updater to be insecure, and disable verity.
Or, you simply did not decrypt data as instructed to do so. Good luck.
Sounds like you never flashed one of my ROMs...

Should I install custom rom?

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?

Wifi on Custom OREO ROMs & Kernels

On Custom Oreo ROMs/kernels such Renovate ICE O, Batman ROM, Nox Kernel, notorious kernel , Wifi does not work on my S8 G950F. The only way to make these work up to now, was to restore the boot image from stock rom.
Whilst restoring stock boot.img does resolve the issue, it creates another in that after reboot wifi takes about 2 mins to turn on.
This Solution Worked for me, but doesn't always work for everyone, try it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/samsung-galaxy-s8--s8-cross-device-development/kernel-nox-kernel-v1-t3721469/page18post 174

the stock boot is one you would take from twrp, or if you don't have that can install soldier rom, skip all the install options, then just backup boot in twrp
I have very kindly been given a temp fix by @Noxxxious who makes the truly excellent Nox kernel. Will update as this develops & hopefully share a perm fix for everyone

Thought I’d chile in here as well so people learn this problem is for real, and that I know how to flash custom roms....
I am always doing the boot.img trick that @StackOverflow13 taught me a white a go.

I take it the 2 files trick didn't work for you? So are you facing the issue of really slow WiFi start-up after reboot? Glad your here anyway. The more people we get the more chance a dev or devs will take notice
Still dealing with this in 2020. I'm using a Japanese S8+ with stock Oreo firmware and a custom kernel, the second I flash Magisk and my boot image gets replaced, WiFi breaks. I checked the file directory mentioned in post 174 and I see both files are present on my phone, unless the files @noxxious posted are modified in some way.

GSI ROM (RRemix) Refuses to recognize that I have a SIM card!

Hello again all!
So I've recently discovered the glory of GSI / Treble roms! Good stuff! But after much banter with Ressurection remix's 9.0 GSI rom, I have still yet to get it working, and wasn't sure if I'm just missing something.
So far, what I've tried is:
- Wiping everything (caches, system, data) as well as formatting my data partition
- then installing the rom. after a couple of routine-looking reboots, the system boots without gapps functioning great.
- quick settings states 'No SIM card', which is false
- reinstalled rom countless times
- restored to functioning rom, backed up EFS, reinstalled RRemix in the same fashion, restored EFS backup. No solve there.
And with that, I'm out of ideas and without much knowledge of GSI / Treble processes, I'm not even sure how to word searches for help. Any advice ya'll?
Hey man, let me know if you still haven’t gotten this resolved and are still looking to do so. After days of research and experimentation I finally created a process to reliably flash a fully functional RR 7.X rom. I can provide my boot.img and instructions if you need them.

It’s funny you should reply to me on today of all days. This morning, after a month of testing, I finally succeeded in getting my RP2 to A/B boot RR 7, TWRP, AND have it rooted with Magisk. I couldn’t believe I finally got it. AMA

Did you try an A only image? It should work as it doesn't touch the vendor image or CSC. At first I was trying AB images on my Note 9 and could never get signal. I found out that we are only supposed to use the A only images on that device and my problems were solved. I haven't tried anything on my Razer Phone 2 though as the stock ROM is pretty much exactly what I want. It's worth a try.

Fingerprint option missing in "Security" settings after flashing custom ROMs

Fingerprint option missing in "Security" settings after flashing custom ROMs
Hello! I'm trying to install custom ROMs on my OnePlus 8 Pro (IN2020) and have the problem with fingerprint sensor: when I'm using stock firmwares (A10/11, MSM/fastboot) or GSI (kernel doesn't matter), I have an option in "Security" with ability of using fingerprints. But when I'm flashing any custom ROM, I have an option disappeared. I've tried restoring my persist partition, tried kernels from various authors (even CleanSlate 1.2.7 with special fingerprint fix), tried not using Magisk and so on. Nothing helps. I guess there can be different types of fingerprint sensor hardware on our phones, so drivers required. Dev's help will be appreciated, also I'm ready to test and send any info needed. Thanks in advance!
Very common issue, run through the fix persist img position problem thread, at least ask in there.
Bare in mind that custom ROMs like GSI's do not have fingerprint functionality, it allows you to create data but not to use it.
Easy Solution,
MSM to Android 11.

I've read that the option is there but after enrollment it fails to function.
So you've been through the persist fix?? Have you asked in that said thread?! There's a tonne of people who have had this issue and have got it fixed.

There is a difference in our situations: their enrollment is failed, but I don't see an option at all. Like the driver or device is not found, so Android thinks I don't have a fingerprint scanner. Tried the persist fix, yes. I'm not a total noob in here, been ROM addict from Samsung S3 stuff I think the problem is we have another fingerprint scanner hardware with different driver needed on some instantnoodlep devices.

I know mate, but that's the only thing I could suggest, the GSI and the OOS issues were always different.
Have you changed firmwares, like from regional to global?
I think it would at least be with talking to the person who came up with the persist fix as they obviously know a lot more about this specific issue.
I highly doubt that the hardware is broken.
Not suggesting you're a noob either, just suggesting you've missed something potentially, that could happen to anyone.
Personally I don't know how to fix it as I've never had they issue.
Good luck with it.

Just curious...you're both on 11 right?
The persist fix I believe was originally intended for Android 10 (I know that's when it came out)
My point being, would it be worth downgrading to 10 then running the through the fix?

Sir, I don't have fingerprint option only on CUSTOM ROMS, which are currently running Android 10 only. I have it perfectly working on STOCK ROMS (A10/A11) and GSI.

GSI ROMs don't have the fingerprint working mate. .
Thats pretty well known I believe
And a custom ROM would be a complete ROM a GSI is simply a system image, you almost always have to expect issues.. The title of this thread is misleading for that very reason, should have been called "No fingerprint on GSI ROMs"
What happens if you use lineage or Carbon both built for the 1+8pro, my guess is that it'll work.
You could try to flash an actual custom ROM, then wipe system and install the GSI, if that doesn't work then it won't work.
Nothing to do with your hardware, driver, persist or anything else its just a GSI limitation.
Also stop with the patronising attitude, there's no call for it, it doesn't help you, me or anyone else.

I guess we have a misunderstanding here. What I did and the result - no fingerprint in security options:
1. Flashed stock A10 firmware via MSM, updated to latest A10 version with zip-archive locally
2. Unlocked the bootloader
3. Rebooted to the system once
4. Booted to fastbootd and flashed any custom ROM for both slots (means Lineage OS, Pixel Experience and Carbon ROM) with data/metadata wipes
5. Rebooted to installed system, passed initial setup
6. Set the PIN, got no fingerprint option in settings.
I can repeat: I have it working on stock A10/11 AND GSI, only Lineage, Pixel and Carbon custom ROMs on A10 are affected. Not making something up, not trolling or "patronising", just trying to provide all the useful info that you, for some reason, don't want or can't accept. :/
Edit: my mistake, as I actually didn't try to add any fingerprint on GSI, so can't say that it works for 100% here. I'm just saying, that the option is in place in settings, but not when using custom ROMs like LOS and so on. No offense.

Then I'm not sure pal.
GSI I would expect it, lineage I haven't installed it but haven't heard anything to suggest it doesn't work.
Carbon ROM I'm pretty sure had the option for me, was a little flakey by it worked..
None taken, sorry I'd barely slept.
PS: seeing as you're on Android 10 why not use twrp? And is born slots necessary? I don't think I did that.
That's the only significant difference I can see between your method and mine.
Also that I set up the phone with a fingerprint each time, not sure if it did or not.
PPS: "don't want or can't accept" yes that's sarcasm pal just saying.

Tried with TWRP too, makes no difference for me. Both slots aren't necessary for sure, but that won't hurt too.
I think I tried literally anything except flashing LOS right on A11 OOS, which is a total nonsense. :^(

I didn't suggest flashing Lineage on 11, that's a bad idea wherever said that.
The chap above has a decent idea there, maybe it is hardware.
Give that a shot.

As I said in the beginning (love quoting myself):
"tried kernels from various authors (even CleanSlate 1.2.7 with special fingerprint fix)"
Doesn't help + gives a distorted image after booting the system on custom ROMs (disappears after locking and unlocking the device again). Looks like the only way is to waaaait. :'c
