Debloated Rom with Wifi Calling enabled - T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers

I've had the LG G5 for a couple of weeks now and while Resurrection Remix, Lineage and Fulmics are all cool in their own ways, I really just want a stock debloated rom that is rooted and still has wifi calling. I've looked over all the forums and I can't seem to find one. While I know I can just root and freeze apps on my own, I was kinda hoping someone already did all the work. Micromod was the master of doing it for the LG G4 but it seems this is an area that is lacking for the G5. Obviously, this is for the H830. If you know of one, point me in the right direction. Thanks!

There are no such rom unfortunately. Your best option, which I am also doing, is use to stock deodexed rom and do the debloating yourself by using titanium backup. Just freeze the apps you don't need.

Thanks! If you have the time, I'd love to see your list of apps that are safe to freeze.

Found one -
The ultra lite rom from the thread below is exactly what i was looking for.

Any Kernels that work with GPE Moto G?

So, I picked up another Moto G, I missed it a lot after selling. I have unlocked it, rooted it, and installed TWRP on it thus far. I tried a few ROMs, but I really like the stock GPE setup so I converted it over. I then tried to install a couple of Kernels on it, but can't get the phone to even boot.
Are there any Kernels currently out there that will work with the GPE Moto G? I would really like to tweak a few things in there, and have access to the 1.6OC.
Cheers
Aero Kernel, but it's still experimental. Make a backup and see if it works
Unfortunately it doesn't have 1.6GHz OC but the kernel is very smooth and good enough anyways

Aero Kernel works for me, see the aero kernel thread where I listed What I did to get it working.

My new kernel should work for you. Would you like to test? Its still in testing phase but the only issue I have with it now is it doesn't go into deep sleep. I am working on that today and hopefully have a new build today as well. If your interested I could send you a link.

Yes! Definitely. Once you have figured out the deep sleep issues, please shoot me over a link. I would be more than happy to test.
If it came down to it, I was going to wade through teaching myself to create one ...
Does any other kernel work with converted gpe moto g?

[Q] All custom ROMs look similar?

I don't know if its only me,but i think all ROMs(CM11,Paranoid Android etc.) look pretty similar except for one or two extra features. Each of them has the same browser app,DSP manager,File Manager and mostly similar features.Even the OS look and feel is the same as stock android(I use Moto G XT1033).
So what is the point of flashing custom ROMs if they look similar to stock.android
We can just use Xposed to have those extra features right?
I really don't know
+1 im with you. But im using custom rom on 1033
Only miui is different and unique rom waiting for some one to port it
ROMs can sometimes have better battery life and sometimes can provide features that xposed don't have. you can also install a different launcher and put in a different theme as well. uninstall the apk's you don't want when you flash the ROM and install your preferred one
previous phones :
LG OPTIMUS L3 400
HUAWEI HONOUR U8860
MOTOROLA MOTO G XT1032 (current)
Coming from a guy who wouldn't leave stock + xposed and it's modules for nothing, recently switching to custom roms: it IS totally worth it. I don't miss any of the features xposed has and even got extra ones such as Hover. The job done by the devs are great, give it a go on the roms and find one which you enjoy the most.
Also they're kept updated on lightning speed fast.

[Q] Lion ROM?

anyone have any experience with this ROM? I can't seem to find any XDA threads about it. But I did find a video posted by Will XDA. Is there any information about it (in English)?

I have been using it for a week now and version 4.0 is fairly stable. Do not use version 3.5 half of the google apps didn't work. As for english go here in google + or chrome and use the translate feature.
you cant find anything because he's banned from xda for putting paid apps in his roms.
I installed this yesterday for the D851 (T-Mobile) Variant. I love it! I have had bad luck with EVERY Stock based LolliRom I've tried on XDA... Snagged this from the G+ page, and EVERYTHING works flawlessly. Even have partially working manual mode on the G4 camera now with this as well.
Wish they had a vs985 version. I'd like to try it.
Rooted Verizon LG G3 Running Jasmine Rom 4.4.2.

I seem to be having problems with the connection on my phone. Most of the time it just switches to 3g or even h or even signal most of the time though it's just searching for a connection. Everything else about the rom is Amazing otherwise.

Help with adding guest mode/multiple users

I recently upgraded from a Moto G 2nd Gen to a 3rd gen, I was pretty surprised to find out it doesn't have a guest mode/multiple users feature, which is arguably Lollipop's best feature.
My question is, is there any way at all to add this? A custom ROM, a mod, something, anything really.
Thanks!
You might be able to do it with Xposed, but will need root, else wait for Marshmallow update
Also there is screen pinning option available to just let users use a single app

Several manufacturers remove this functionality, Samsung has for a while, HTC removed it initially from the M9 then added it back, and apparently Motorola is as well (notably the Droid Turbo did not have it either), not sure why, probably because Guest mode is so insecure by default it is more of a security risk than a benefit when used for it's intended purpose of handing the phone over to someone to use.
A custom ROM would be your best bet, I know it is build in to CM and most other AOSP ROMs.

Sorry for the noob question, but I'm assuming by CM you mean Cyanogen Mod? And if that's the case, would you mind linking me to a tutorial to add it to my phone, I really do want the entire guest/multiple users features, and if CM can do it I'm down.
Yes, CyanogenMod ROM, although if it was me I would look into BlissPop, Resurrection Remix, or CrDroid before CM.
Just look in the Original Development section... You must unlock (voiding warranty), flash TWRP, and flash CM (or other ROM) and Gapps.

I m using Moto G3 , I rooted it.I don't know pinning option has gone away. I don't know how.How to fix this???

Is LineageOS coming? Or which ROM is most similar?

Wondering if LineageOS is in the works?
In the meantime, which of the custom roms is most similar, which also supports microG and magisk?

I see lineage 18.1 on the moto g8 forums. This *may* work on the stylus. The custom rom that I use actually was built for the Moto G8 Power. So I wouldn't be afraid to try it, just have your stock rom to revert to.
As for the most like Lineage, currently available... I've ran the crDroid and the ResurrectionRemix (both Android 10's), and the crDroid is probably the closest to Lineage as you're gonna find. I haven't ran the HavocOS and can't comment. The CRdroid is an amazing Rom, especially if you're looking for performance and efficiency.. buttery smooth too. The RR is just absolutely loaded up with customization options. Its really a beautiful OS on this phone. For what I use my phone for, I've found exactly ZERO bugs or issues with either of them.
Again, the crDroid is probably the closest you'll get to lineage.
Just my two cents. Hope this helps.
Thank you! After doing a lot of experimentation on my old G6 yesterday, I feel more emboldened to experiment a bit on my wife's G8 Stylus (and she can use the G6 in the meantime). So I'll start with LOS and then consider crDroid if necessary. I'll take a TWRP backup first, and there's always Motorola's Rescue and Smart Assistant tool if necessary. Appreciate the guidance!
Hi Forum,
First post here.
I just got this phone with the plan of trying out a google free phone.
Are there any more updates about lineage being available yet for this phone?
Many thanks,
AAN
I think if you stay with stylus, g8 fast, and g8 power you'll be fine. But the stylus and power share cameras I'm not sure about the g8 fast

I don't think this is true. The G Stylus 2020 has a better camera.

ok so i don't know crap about LineageOS but i will say that i have now flashed 5 of the 6 custom roms listed in the forums and Stag OS is by far my favorite.
