Which ROM, which TWRP, which Magisk? - Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D

I've used my "sanders" for 40 months, all on stock. Now, just for fun, I'd like to root it. I haven't done this in six or seven years, but I know the drill. Question is: which version of TWRP, of Magisk, and above all, which ROM should I flash? Is there a decent 11, or should I stick to 10? Lineage, or is there a reasonable alternative? Dunno how many folks are still using this device, but thanks for any suggestions!

same ask here

Regarding TWRP and Magisk, always use the latest version available.
For ROMs, to each it's own. There are very stable ROMs for A 11 already.
We're on the blink of A12 arriving for us. And i can assure you there are many of us !
Read the ROM threads and the forum rules too. Your question should be on Moto G5 S plus Q & A !
Good luck !

Will the 1st gen moto e get Android 7.0 (Nougat) ?

Post to discuss the possibility of the first gen moto E getting or receiving Android 7.
Doubtful.
Hardware constraints mean the little moto e is unlikely to see a fully functioning port, but I am no expert and can only relay or repeat what I read and hear.
I follow the 1st and 2nd gen moto e threads here on XDA and own both a first gen and second gen moto e, both running CM13.
The second gen community are saying the otus and surnia (3g and 4lte) moto e 2015 are unlikely to see an official or unofficial port of android N.
Where does this leave the Condor?
What are your views?
Maybe one of our esteemed rom developers may give his or her thoughts?
Discuss.

[quote name="hectorleriche" post=67539134]Hello, anyone knows when it will appear cm14 ???[/QUOTE]
Thats a bit "off topic" for this thread.
CM14 will not appear until after Android N is official, and N won't be official until probably September (just a guess)
But
And its a big but.....
Will the first gen moto e get cm14???
I very much doubt it, because there is even doubt the second gen moto e will get it, if the hardware of the second gen can't handle N, there's no hope for the first gen, to be honest.
Who knows? I'm not an expert, and someone else will probably reply I'm very wrong.
This thread is Not really the place to discuss that or ask that question.
Please start a new thread.

I'm not sure about this... but the only lack in this rom is Doze mode, right? I mean condor doesn't have proximity sensor
Android Nougat is so different compared with Marshmallow? They look very similar
All Android version are very similar. i don't find major changes between KitKat or Lollipop and Marshmallow
I don't know... maybe there will not be a official CM release but maybe we can expect a unofficial one?
Sent from my XT1524 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I'm not a expert in this kind of things but the new features in Nougat are not so incredible and doesn't seems so far away with Marshmallow.
6.0 runs fine in a old condor. Almost like stock KitKat
i don't get why Nougat will be a imposible thing in this device.
Again, im not a expert and im only thinking about the features and not about technical things.
I have hope.
Good initiative making this thread
Sorry for my bad english.

Yes, my only concern is some are saying that the second gen moto e won't get it (official) but it wouldn't be impossible to port a partially working port to it (CM14 unofficial)
No mention yet for our 1st gen moto e, hence this thread and the fact some are asking this question in other ROM development threads (such as CM13) where it shouldn't really be discussed.
Biggest issue I see is the multi window display, our condors won't run that (so I'm lead to believe)
Again like most, I'm no expert and would prefer someone with knowledge and experience to answer this question, I've stuck with my condor since KitKat, now its relegated to my work phone, its running 6.0.1 via CM13 almost flawlessly with only minor glitches and bugs, I have a second gen moto e 2015 4lte (surnia) that is now my daily driver.
Hence my interest in both generations of moto e.

I feel like we are getting Android N.As long as our moto E supports size of ROM we will be getting updates.
I think both condor and e2 will get a port of 7.0.There are no incredible new features/new heavy UI that condor can't handle.
Also we will probably have to wait a bit to see it fully functional,but it's a normal thing on new OS releases.

While I agree with you, seems the new notification system and the multiple window feature will cause our device problems, but I can only repeat what I'm seeing in other threads, I repeat I'm no expert on this.

No volte for one plus x as 801 soc used does not supports volte
No, I would say : No volte for one plus x as it needs OnePlus to work on the software (with carrier) to support it.
No custom rom can do it without this work.

They confirmed to work on OP2 update and to use the Jio app for OPX and OPO.
Then, some signals showed they could have change the plans, but nothing official...

We have to wait till it's out for the OP2.
Then, maybe if it could be quite easily "transposable" to the OPX, it could be done, but if I have to take a bet, I would bet there won't be VOLTE on OPX...
Edit : it seems that OP2 last hydrogen version supports VOLTE.

Community development strength

You're a power user. Can the Xiaomi Mi A1 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Xiaomi Mi A1. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
No kernel source after 4+ month.
Community development will die this way
I just found this one. I hope its true!!
https://twitter.com/MiIntrnModSeppe/status/955683630487146496
Appearently the sources have been just released : https://www.androidauthority.com/xiaomi-needs-to-adhere-to-the-rules-of-android-832599/
Development is dead. No real progress from the time we did not have sources to the time when we have sources. Sorry mates, I personally do not have knowledge to build roms or kernels myself, else I would ahve contributed. We have a semi functional build of LOS 14.1 and that is all we got.
Development pretty much dead i think. Developers shows no interest to develop for the device anymore, this pretty much caused by Xiaomi themselves.

Sadly it looks that way, maybe something will change, redmi note 5 was released last week and already have official twrp and first custom rom.
But mi A1 is still a great phone, it will get androdi P and I personally love stock Android.
I'd say pretty healthy, especially loving the italian dev community
Plenty of ROMs nowadays for our MiA1.
Any change since mid-April? I'm considering moving on from my Galaxy Note 3 onto this device, since it has all the latest features I'm looking for. (Dual cameras, fingerprint scanner, USB-C port)

Newbie Planning To Get Moto Z

Hi guys, I am planning to get Moto Z and price is 200$ about. Do you think it is worth getting it now? I don't want to spend much money since it's a secondary device for me.
Also, I noticed it has many variants. Which variant is good for custom ROM, Unlock BL and Root support?
So far, I came across XT1650-05, XT1650-01, XT1650-03 etc

It`s the same phone. Difference is the software update channel. 05 - China, 03 - EU and USA. Maybe some little changes in frequency, but HW the same.
Just try some google, man.

Same camera as that Nexus 6 of yours there.
New or used? If it's used you might wanna get a battery replacement for it, the Nougat 7.0 update kinda overstressed the battery
I'd get the G5+ or G5S, TBH (better battery life with Snapdragon 625)

Thanks mate,
I just sold my Nexus 6 and looking for a replacement as a secondary device. I came across Moto Z, LGV20, HTC 10, Honor 8, Nexus 6P. I do not want to spend more than 200-230$ and I merely keep my secondary device for 6-9 months.
I am getting a good deal if I get XT1650-01 and I believe it is verizon model but what I came to know is that it cannot unlock BL and root. I usually customize my phones.

It's brand new if I get Verizon variant. I am not into photography that much. I am looking for a better Snapdragon processor with the good amount of RAM so that it still holds resell value in the future. If I opt for a mid-range device like Xiaomi or Huawei I am getting a good deal in 200$ but then it would not hold much resell values after 6-9 months.
PS. I see that you Malaysian too

For T-Mobile version, you need to SIM unlock first even it's not related.
That's all there is no there carrier sells it the Nord 10 I have is good but time to upgrade and won't be the n20 the way it looks
The nord n20 5g is the exact same phone as the nord ce 2 lite but different size screen/body style probably some other minor differences.
Actually don't think I had to sim unlock but ran the script used in previous versions anyways

Root and custom rom aside. This phone the N20 in my opinion is the best phone in its price range. The only other phone on t mobile I would consider is the moto G 5G 2022. But I'm not a fan of Motorola. I had plenty of motos and they all died a common death. The charge port becomes defected.
I had the n10, n100 And the N200. I'm hooked. I like oneplus..
Currently I've only found one rom that works
The lineage Gsi. This phone can be unlocked and rooted. And virtually brick proof. However this phone is not even listed on the oneplus website.. So no OEM blessings.

Yes, I do know that is the best in its segment, I read the review from XDA about best mobiles in 2022... Unfortunately, I am not a native speaker and I feel that I lost part of your content in the first line, if it was not just humour and the part about 1 working rom for this device.
I am addicted to custom roms phone in the last 10 years and there is where it comes my question if this good device will have one Lineage or Pixel Experience rom at all... My Poco F1 is slowly requesting pension to me. I am looking for a decent (not necessary top) mobile with squared apperance (not too long and narrow like new design) that has custom roms support. IPxx is welcome also. The other device I am watching is NOthing phone that stands a bit above my budget of less than 350 EUR / 400 USD)

I bought a prepaid Samsung Galaxy A53 ($259, but it's $199 now) after I bought the Nord N20. At first I thought the A53 was laggy and the N20 did circles around it, but after some updates I feel the A53 is a better candidate for budget device of the year (if you get it discounted on a carrier). The screen is punchier, stereo speakers are on par with my iPhone 13 too. No headphone jack though...
Anyway, about the Lineage GSI for the N20 - how does it run, buggy, ok? I don't see much about custom ROMS on here for this phone which is surprising. It is a great phone, just bored with it.

Oh I'm only good at following guides and such, I have no idea about how to dev. But I am interested in trying the lineage GSI, which you mentioned was the only ROM that actually works on the N20. I'm just unsure of what build and how exactly to do it, don't see a whole lot of instruction other than a few posts that you made. The terms GSI & DSU, and A/B slots are new to me; I've been out of the loop since Windows phone and Galaxy s9.
Wow! I am surprised to read that the N20 has no dev work so far! It's a very nice phone for the price. I have the opportunity to get one basically for free, but I think I'll go with a N200 instead. Even though it has worse hardware it has much better community support.
ScarletWizard said:
Ya the n20 is not getting much Love from the devs nor from OnePlus itself. I miss the old days when budget devices had a strong dev community. But google snatched up the talent and took away our Devs.
