5 years ago when i got Moto g5 plus. its community was very proactive in terms of ROMs and stuff, but that is not the case here with edge 30 pro, is it beacuse the phone is not that popular or its new? coz i am thinking of getting this or the upcoming moto frontier but since moto only supports the device for 2 years, i want to root my phone and install a custom ROM on it. does anyone know if the custom ROMs will be availabe for it anytime soon, and also if anyone can make a tutorial about rooting the phone, that will be very helpful. Thanks
The phone is new, not that popular, and motorola doesnt make it easy for custom roms either. We can probably count on some more popular ROMs like LineageOS as more people get the phone and demand rises.

thank you, but i dont think lineage OS will be better than the stock moto UI, i still love my moto g5 plus due to its support. Motorola should either provide atleast 3 years of supoprt or make the unlocking and installing TWRP easier. also one more thing i didnt saw TWRP installation in the provided link is it due to Motorola being more strict??

TWRP itself is on the decline since Android 10. Magisk-patching boot manually has become the more universal rooting method.

Am I missing it or are there instructions to root and instructions for multi-boot but no ROM for the LG G Vista, please?
I've searched and read through a bunch of threads but nada ... so far.
Will any of the ROMs for other LG G-series phones work?
Thanks!
Wait ... I just looked in About phone and it says this is a VS880.
I just got this from Verizon.
I'm seeing the VS880 referred to as a G2 and a G3 on the Internet - what is it really, please?
It came with Android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.0+, and our son rooted it for me earlier today.
Just in case any of those details help ...

They are the same thing. One is the internal name while the other is normal users name of the device. As for roms make sure to do your reading up as the device is pretty locked down.
So, you are saying that there is no ROM anywhere for the LG G Vista/VS880?
Is there any reason to believe that anyone is actively developing one?
There are so many sites touting Rooting as a pathway to loading a ROM it seems odd there there is not one.

It takes more then root. You need an u locked bootloader or a way to bypass a locked bootloader like safestrap or bump. Most developers that make roms only make them for devices they own.
The bootloader bypass has been solved:
http://www.unlock-bootloader.info/mp3-0/lg-g-vista-6569.html
The LG G Vista/VX880 is "free" on Verizon with the $16/mo Edge data plan & has a nice big display.
I have my Samsung Tab4 7" tablet for sale as I don't need it now that I have the LG G Vista/VX880.
There are ROMs for the models all around the LG G Vista/VX880 - it's hard to believe that LG made that phone so radically different from the others that tweaking an existing ROM to port it would be beyond a developer.
Sure wish I had the skills ... sigh.
It's not really that. It's most developers seldom do ports. Let alone for devices that don't have. After looking at the spec is not a bad mid range device. But also remember that. Most carriers in the world are GSM carriers and very few work on cdma devices.
There are plenty of Tuts on how to port. Could be something you could look into

Modified request: Is there an app/hack that strips-out all of the Google stuff, especially their backdoors & data-leeching?
If no one is going to build a custom mod - which seems apparent - it sure would be good to have a clean machine onto which to then install carefully selected apps.
Thanks!

Simple answer is no. You would have to build a rom from source and then remove alot of the Google based code. There is a project that is working on it but you lose alot of functionality.

Cannot the functionality be restored via privacy-respecting alternative apps?
What about an app that monitors the bad behavior of the Google code than cannot be removed and blocks execution of data-leeching & activity monitoring?

Not completely no. Many have been trying over the years. Your biggest issue is the device your using. Once that is taken care of you can try and build something but like I said alot of the stuff is built directly into the os.
To be honest privacy is an illusion at best now a days. Every thing monitors what you do. From credit cards to social net networking. It is all made to get as much info as it can about a person. Even carriers do it. It has even come to light that Verizon can monitor the apps installed on a device.

Many Many hours wasted on Google,Bing,ect. I haven't found anything. I have seen where some people refer to this as the same as a G2 And others but it's clearly not. But yeah wish someone would put something out. Agreed. I have however figured out how to get Viper4Android and Dolby Atmos to work. So if anyone is interested in knowing how that's done hit me up. All you have to have is root. NO custom recovery. Haven't seen a post on how to do that either? I still have 8 more to go before I can post lol.

Where did you get the rom? Do you have a copy I can get?
Does anyone know of any ROMs, Official or Unofficial, for the "ZTE Avid Plus Z828," completed or in the works? I have this phone that was given to me, because a relative changed carriers. I am presently using it as a wifi device. It has better specs then my activated phone, a "Moto E 1st gen," and I would like to replace it, with the Avid, but the Avid has Marshmallow, and my Moto E has Lineage OS Nougat. If there is none, may I suggest it somewhere?

Well, I think I am too late in the party...
I rooted my avid Plus a while back and it got somewhat messed up....
I am currently trying to compile CM-12.1 and Lineage 14.1 (if cm-12.1 works) for this device along with TWRP to try and see if I can revive my phone and yours too! I'm thinking about flashing TWRP through Download mode or Emergency Download Mode using the QWIL program. I have the original frimware file but I have not tried yet. Maybe just replace the original recovery.img with thw TWRP idk.....
Hi guys,
Trying to get this device to get a little support here are my experiences that I would like to share so far.
I have the Honor Note 10 8/128. It's unlocked. It has TWRP and it is rooted.
Now I would like to install something else than EMUI, maybe even Pie.
So here is what I was able to find out :
- it is possible to install the OpenKirin Project : Resurrection Remix and OmniRom and boot them ; but the fingerprint scanner doesn't work to wake device in Resurrection Remix (could not test in Omni ROM : I'll do that later tonight) ;
- it is possible to boot from at least one custom ROM made for "berkeley" (Honor View 10). And there, everything works... But of course, really few customization. Also, I was able to find out that, as soon as I install an AOSP based ROM, rebooting into TWRP fails : TWRP remains stuck at "splash" screen...
So I think it's really close to being able to run a s custom AOSP based ROM on the Honor Note 10, but that would require someone with a little more dev skills than I have to look into that
Anyone with such skills around here ? It would be really great to be able to have the Honor Note 10 running Resurrection Remix (Oreo) or Havoc (Pie)...
Regards.

Sorry but you do not just flash ROMs for other phones that can go wrong
Hi guys,
Well, you're obviously not interested in this...
You're happy with EMUI, so be it...
Me, I don't really like it
I really would like AOSP based which I am accustomed to.
And despite what is written here, I would like to stress that :
- when Treble was announced by Google, Huawei/Honor praised themselves to offer fully compliant devices with Treble ;
- Honor View 10 and Honor Note 10 share the same hardware, excet for display... and thus I have been able to boot PixelExperience for berleley (Honor View 10) into Note 10...
But of course, if you'd ratehr stick to EMUI and would like me to stop sharing my thoughts here, I will do.
Regards.
I haven't unlock my phone yet, but flashing GSI via fastboot seems to be the safest way.

Hi,
Yes, we share the same experience.
But you will notice that this channel is dead : no developer support for this device and custom ROM allergic people participating here
So basically : no interest from manufacturer ; no interest from developer ; no interest from users...
I switched to Xiaomi mi Max 3 : no real custom ROM there, but at least some interest from community and manufacturer who keeps updating the ROM.

Have we devised a work around for "Stuck at TWRP Splash"? Flashed Bliss from view 10 and wanted to look at Pixel Exp. but can not re-enter TWRP.
And to those of you running Pixel Exp. without issue, have you tried going back into TWRP?

Hi,
Can't say as I don't run the device anymore...
No interest from manufacturer.
No interest from developers.
No interest in development from the community here.
No interest for buyers.
My Honor Note 10 8/128 in Black is on an ad since about 40 days, and not a single reply even though I think I have positioned it fairly as a price
This is probably the best phone I've had, but the worst buy I've made for the aforementioned reasons...
Blame Honor. This was my first attempt. And will be the last. And I will of course spread the news all around me to as much people as I can.
It's funny : when I look around, my students who all had Honor or Huawei (apart from iPhones of course and of Samsung also) now more and more have OnePlus and Xiaomi devices...
No more Honor ; no more Huawei.
And they're absolutely not geeks by any means...
As a wild guess I'd say that they rely on geek friends who tell them not to buy Honor anymore.
And so I'll join that anti-Honor/Huawei league unless they change their policies about unlocking the bootloader.
And I am saying this because Huawei presented themselves as the best student in class for Treble support when it was announced.
Where are we now ?
Another promise not kept...
No support for Treble, no updates after 6 months device is released, no source code given, no unlocking of bootloader...
They can just use their device as suppositories.
Hope that will cure them from that closed source disease that is spreading more and more...

Hi,
Sell those fairy tales to somebody else please...
5-6 updates in 3 months ? Probably. i've witnessed 2 updates.
And one of those forbids to change the default launcher... Is that an update or a severe regression ?
You can unlock the bootloader ?
Well, I've tried to boot the device in fastboot mode and to type "fastboot oem-unlock"... Guess what ? It did nothing...
To unlock this device, I had to go to an obscure website from probably a hacker/retailer that does it "grey", to pay 25 dollars and to wait for an unlock code...
All other phones I've had so far (Motorola, Sony, OnePlus, Xiaomi)... at worst you had to ask for an unlock code on the manufacturer's website and got it free !
Treble support ?
Come on... Did you even tried to install GSI to this device and had it working properly with no severe battery drain ?
Well, as you know from my other posts : I've tried it all... Even to flash Berkeley (Honor View 10) custom Rom's.
And when I was luck, the device booted...
But even then a lot of things weren't working properly : BT, display brightness...
And look at the facts :
- how much devs working on this device ? 0
- how many custom ROMs fro this device ? 0
- how many TWRP for this device ? 1 (unofficial)
- how many custom kernels for this device ? 0
- hon many posts about development for this device in the past week ? 2
So all in all how's support for this device from manufacturer or community ?
- community : 0
- manufacturer : -1 (for regressive releases of EMUI !).
Yopu can answer... You're the only one active on this channel... Truth is : no one wants this device anymore.
It made high promises and did not deliver...

My Answer:
You can see that you have no idea about the whole thing.
You have to buy a Unlock Code!I paid $ 22 and it was worth it!
HN10 is support Treble,but you have to wait for a Rom for this Device.
I buy with firmware 108,next update 120 next 123 next 125,next 132 next 132,next 151 and the latest 158!
If you have no idea, you should rather leave it!
Hey Everyone,
I am pretty new to this and have been looking at getting a Moto G Power as my first phone to root/load a custom ROM on to. I had previously tried this with a Moto G Fast, but the phone was broken and did not allow for USB device detection, so I figured I may as well do a little upgrade and try again with the Moto G Power. Does anyone have any suggestions for custom ROMs? Or does anyone have suggestions on a different Motorola phone for a beginner (from what I understand unlocking the bootloader is the same on every Moto phone)? Also, any advice in general is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time!

This (XT2041-4, US model) is my first Motorola device, so learning the 'unlock bootloader' method was new to me, having used Samsung tablets, but it is clearly explained in thus forum and was relatively painless. Not as easy as with my Samsung devices, i.e. had to get a code from Motorola.
I went with Resurrection Remix because I've used RR for my tablet in the past, and I knew it had a lot if customization options—I was not disappointed. I'm so pleased with it that I haven't even rooted; first device out if 10 or so that I haven't rooted.

How come you opted to not root the device? Also, I've been doing some digging on these forums and I think I may go with the Lineage 17.1 unofficial ROM. However, I am open to other options.

I'm satisfied (hell, I'm actually overjoyed) with the customization provided by RR. My current use case (phone/text/browse), doesn't call for my usual over-the-top privacy efforts; i.e. XprivacyLua (which requires Ed/Xposed, MyAndroid Tools, et. al.
I just wanted to ask if there is any development effort going to bring TWRP and AOSP Custom ROMs to this device.
Under the hood, this device is very powerful. And well built. After using it for a few days, I feel like the just software experience is holding it back.
If there is, I'd like to join and help as much as I can.

Tbh, the stock rom (global) is sufficient, and with root you can modify it however you like...
Custom development may start after Realme stops supporting the phone with OTA updates, which isn't anytime soon since GT 2 Pro is their flagship...
There is also Android 13 coming out...
And until there is an open-source bypass of MSM tool to recover bricks without paying $$, I think that not many people will waste time and money to build custom ROM and then maintain it to integrate Realme OTA's.

Tbh, the stock rom (global) is sufficient, and with root you can modify it however you like...

What about Xiaomi? They also have auth for EDL flash. But if you see the forum for xiaomi devices. It got lots of Custom ROM.
There's no need for a free MSM. To install any custom ROM you would have to unlock the bootloader first, and with an unlocked bootloader you can recovery every brick, unless you destroy the bootloader itself.

Yeah tell me about it.....I still feel violated for having a random stranger connect to my computer just to type a damn password, and paid for it....never had this issue with xiaomi, mi flash tool works great.....we need to pressure realme to stop this insanity.....there is no reason for having MSM locked.

I also agree with this. And the unlock process itself is crappy. We need to install a dedicated app to be able to boot into fastboot mode! Why? Why not just allow bootloader to be unlocked like OnePlus devices, both phones are from the same parent.
