Hello guys,
I am on stock Oreo, is it possible please to get somehow the stock ambient display instead of Moto display? I have read that on some phones disabling moto app will bring back ambient display, but it didnt work out for me.
Thank you for your answers

I don't think that there's a way to have stock ambient display with StockROM by Motorola. However, most of the CustomROMs have this ability.
Btw, a little bit off-topic.. but aren't you from Slovakia too?

Yes, I am, I have seen you here on the forum
Take care brother!
Edit: Maybe you can help me...is here any custom rom which has good call sound and working camera?

Each CustomROM that I tried had some bugs. Unfortunately, all of them had slightly disorted sound during a call in comparison with StockROM. However, these ones (mentioned below) are the best in my opinion:
7.0 - debloated stock https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/rom-debloated-optimized-t3722396
7.1.2 - LineageOS 14.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/7-1-x-lineageos-14-1-moto-g5-t3611973
I would recommend you to use this build of LOS 14.1, if you are interested https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GO7i7h1QQcD8oY3uUBr4a2u1gJzlRkzk/view. I faced a huge problem - apps like Snapchat, Instagram or Messenger started to freeze and force close randomly, but only with august 2018 build (the latest one). Reboot didn't help at all, reinstall of LOS or crashing apps fixed problem just temporarily. Flashing build from june 2018 (link mentioned in this paragraph) seems to be a permanent fix.
If you are running stock Oreo, you have to downgrade to Nougat first. Otherwise, your fingerprint scanner will not work with any Nougat based CustomROM (idk about Oreo ones ). How to downgrade a Moto device without getting hardbrick? It's simple - make sure, yours device's bootlaoder is properly unlocked. Then, flash everything except gpt and bootloader to avoid hardbrick while downgrading. Running "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2" commands wipes IMEI, so exclude them also.
8.1.0 - AOSPExtended 5.4 https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/rom-aospextended-5-0-t3710925 with Alize v10 kernel https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W9s2Wd52buDLglqOX2cEsgHTD0qWFHbv/view.
I have already tried this combination and there was no problem while taking photos and recording videos using Footej Camera.
If you decide to try this ROM with gapps installed alongside, follow this tutorial before the first boot https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/how-to-repair-bootloop-oreo-roms-t3791189. Otherwise, your phone will be stuck in bootloop.
Thank you for your comprehensive guide to custom roms
It's shame there isnt any custom rom with everything working fine. I think I will go back to Lineage 14.1 and then buy a new phone. Motos arent the same since Lenovo took them.
Hi all,
I would like to install GCam on my Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus,but without unlocking of the bootloader! Is that possible?
If it is not possible,then is there some another camera apk which would work almost like the GCam,and has the same features,but to work without need of rooting of the phone or unlocking of the bootloader?
Please tell me! Thanks to all in advance! Best regards!
Unfortunately, it is not possible to use GCam without unlocking the bootloader, you can do it without root but not with locked bootloader. The app that I can recommend is Open Camera from Play Store, give it a try.

Thank you for replying!
Could you please tell me, which are the disadvantages of unlocking of the bootloader of my Redmi 5 Plus,and also what becomes unsafe,and how could that be fixed (like the passing of the SafetyNet test,using banking apps,fixing of the issue with the fingerprint scanner that becomes not reliable anymore)?
With one word how to fix everything that becomes unsafe after unlocking of the bootloader?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, You Can install apk gcam. Look the thread.
Many of you are asking for a slow Motion update but most of us know that's not gonna happen any time soon. So I have a way by which you can get Slow Motion to work.
But beware that this will void your warranty.
And as you guessed you need an unlocked bootloader. If you don't have your code you can use the slock exploit.
So after unlocking flash magisk and then flash the P20 camera module. The stock camera will be replaced with the P20 camera in which you can find slow Motion which will work.
*You need to be on stock rom as this needs stock gallery
*The video quality will be low and you'll need proper lighting because of hardware limitations.
=> And whatever you do with your phone is your responsibility and if you point your finger at me for having your phone bricked I'll laugh at you?

Hi Guys, we know 6T is One of the Netflix HD 4K certificated devices for L1 certification, unlike the Mi 8, and this can be from my personal side a decision point because I do use 4K contents a lot.
Now I know that after unlooking the bootloader we loose this ability and the service get recognized as an L3 Widevine device because of root.
I think that if we hide root through Magisk, and filter Netflix APP and all related software/services/apps/ and DRM info app etc, by correcting configuring latest Magisk, and of course we add also play store and Google service framework to Magisk hide filter after cancelling data in order to get on play store "certified device", I think that L1 certification will work but I can try test by myself because I don't have the 6T.
Can anyone make these tests and confirm once for all and for everyone that if we unlock the bootloader on 6T there will be never a way to have the L1 certifications?
Can anyone with 6T ALREADY unlocked bootloader check DRM info app if it reports L1 by hidding Netflix in Magisk? No need for risk or operations, just who already have an unlocked 6T with magisk, can just check, no operations to do, no request particular, just a check to know if it works or not.
Useless to reply to above comment, the guy must have some serious relationship and inner hate problems, go get solved for your sake. :*

The OP6T has L1 when it's stock/locked bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader puts it to L3.
OP if you can elaborate on this that would be great, I don't particularly care about L1 but I'll happily test. You aren't specific at all as to what you think should be hidden through magisk. Maybe download the official 9.0.6 OTA and look through it and list exactly what you want done.
I hid Netflix in MagiskHide and repacked Magisk Manager. I know it works because I pass SafetyNet and can play Pokemon Go.
DRM Info still says L3 with an unlocked bootloader. Didn't bother to hide DRM Info, but it wouldn't matter (it's not a detection issue, the decryption keys are unreadable with the bootloader unlocked).
Hope that answers your question OP. Also, this should have been in Q&A.
I don't even have Netflix installed and it's L3. Yet on my v30, rooted with Xposed and with Oreo and Netflix, I'm at L1.
Other than the OS, the Widevine is vslersion1.0 (v30 L1) and 6t is 14.0 (L3) maybe we could port v1 somehow?
I have no idea how any of this works so just throwing ideas out there

Read a bit before making theories. Widevine ISN'T linked to root or OS! It's encoded directly in the chip and is only linked to bootloader status, which can't be hidden. You can hide root 234678 times under 35678 carpets for 368322 apps Netflix will still be reading L3 as it's at hardware device level.
You're asking to add oranges and bananas

What he said...to the original poster, I'm sure you've read my previous threads. Any modern device has Widevine and bootloader status intertwined. It's not going to happen.
Unlock bootloader = L3
Locked bootloader = L1
What I had to decide (and you will too) as to which is more important...
Substratum / Titanium Backup
<<OR>>
HD Video for DRM content + no jumping through hoola hoops for updates of ROM (reinstalling TWRP/Magisk) and updates of apps (constantly re-applying substratum themes)
iYTBP & system-wide ad-blocking is possible these days w/o root so I didn't use that for criteria.

Off-topic but: Could you elaborate on rootless system-wide ad-blocking? I didn't encounter anything working as good as AdAway with root in terms of blocking ads within apps and the web.

Thank you very much, mister! I tried some VPN-based blocking apps before but they didnt work quite well. Blokada is open source and works very well as far as I can tell in this short time. Thank you!
Blokada is VPN based which is a no-no for some people, if you're not aware of it being a problem for you it probably isn't.
Of you're still wondering about this all I do is find the Netflix apk online download it, install it and then my phone let's me get updates through the play store for it again. I'm not sure if it tricks it but I don't do anything other than that and I haven't had any issues with Netflix. Bootloader unlocked with root and mods

There's a test for resolution within Netflix I forget how to get to it if you Google it you could probably find it but can you run that and report back the resolution if it bypasses it you should get 1080p or higher but if it doesn't it will be at most 480p
Edit: just search test patterns on Netflix its in there

I'm not sure about any of that I'm running 1080 but I also hide magisk from Netflix so maybe that helps? Either way it's definitely a solution. As soon as you unlock your bootloader Google play hides Netflix. But if you find the apk online and install it then root and hide magisk you should be fine

Good evening together,
I have opened a new topic so that we can do everything together regarding a fix for the fingerprinter.
This is known to be broken when we open the bootloader.
I really hope that together we can find out how we can fix this.
I once looked at all files between de Realme X and the X2.
Unfortunately, I have almost no discernible differences.
Thus, the fix of Realme for the X might also be in the bootloader itself.
Where Widevine is still set from L1 to L3.
Maybe you have an idea?
Up for this topic.
Try to fix fingerprint. Its available only for a17 ROM.
Flash in twrp or unpack and replace files by hands.
also may be need wipe dalvik-cashe.
