hi everybody!
sorry for the non-descriptive title, but i have some questions i'd like to ask here. i just got my moto g 2 days ago, i switched from a samsung galaxy s+ (with cm10.2) so this is quite the change for me, hardware and software wise.
[ANSWERED] 1. first i missed the possibility to swipe my keyboard to type, i found many different apps for that, but my question would be what is the keyboard included in cyanogenmod? because since this can 'see' everything i type i want an app for that i can trust...
[ANSWERED] 2. i really liked the cLock app for time and weather in cm, but google-ing 'clock app' wasnt the most helpful thing i've ever done ^^ so here my queston would be aswel whats the cyanogenmod cLock app and where can i find it?!
[ANSWERED] 3. next thing would be how can i get something like pdroid on this device (i had it on the sgs+)? i would need root i assume, i saw lots of different methods for that aswel. one with like contacting motorola to get the rom unlocked or something like that. so whats the easiest way to get a privacy control on the moto g? i remember something like the new android has some inbuilt setting for that?!?
[ANSWERED] 4. something that is irritating me quite a lot are the software keys, because samsung has the back key on the right side and the moto has it on the left side. also i dont understand why there would be a key for recent apps instead of a menu key. same here: i saw lots of different methods to change that, some even with adding or getting rid of lines of the code. ok i managed to install cm on my sgs, but thats a little out of my capabilities ^^ so again what would be the easiest way to change the buttons around?
[ANSWERED] 5. another thing would be, how do i turn off the vibration when using the keyboard? i tried the setting under 'sound' -> 'vibrate on touch' (or something along those lines) but that didnt turn off all of the vibration, for example its still vibrating when i use the keyboard but not anymore when i open apps or menus.
maybe there is even the possibility to install a stable version of cyanogenmod on the moto g which would solve most of my issues? but since this is running so smoothly i dont want any nightly builds, alphas or betas on this thing right now...
btw i am using the nova launcher in case that makes any difference for any of the questions above!?
also i include this screenshot with all the version numbers in it because it might be useful: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5JftqugO1xsbnh1dTBrQzZVWXc/edit?usp=sharing
thanks a bunch in advance and for reading and i hope someone is willing and able to help me out here!:fingers-crossed:
EDIT:
all the questions above have been answered! only one more question is open atm, [ here ] thanks to everyone who contributed so far!

You can install the stock google keyboard from the play store for using swype, And there is cyangenmod version available for the G, you should go to the Moto G Original Android Development section of the forum for that. The vibration option should be in your sound / keyboard settings so you just need to look better i gues.

thanks again, sadly the play store says: 'This app is incompatible with all of your devices.' and it seems this is because of some kind of regional restrictions for this app and/or my country. i cant imagine what and why that would be but i cant download it from there, is there any other way to get this? like an .apk or something?

yea, thats what i was thinking after i posted my answer, sometimes my brain is in stupid mode *derp...
i found it here and i include the link for people with the same problem, the link is in german though:
http://www.androidnext.de/apps/google-keyboard-kitkat-tastatur-fuer-alle-geraete-apk-download/
and that works pretty good, thanks for the recommendation!
edit: i think i found the cLock app i was talking about, or a very similar one from the same developer it seems:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dvtonder.chronus
its a very nice clock and weather app, i can even do more (like calendar). thats 2 down 3 to go!

I suggest to install Xposed framework (Root needed), and then you can have this features with Gravity Box and Xprivacy (these are modules for Xposed).
In order to root, you have to unlock the bootloader (follow the instruction on Motorola website), then install a Custom recovery (I suggest Philz one) and supersu from Play store

hi and thank you for your contribution! i have unlocked and rooted my device successfully and installed the xposed framework. i havent quite got the hang of how xprivacy works as of now since its a little different from pdroid (and somewhat confusing imo). but thats just a matter of time i guess. i'll start reading here: https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacy#xprivacy or is there a better quick start guide?
i assume i can uninstall the 'xprivacy installer' (the one from google play) after i installed 'xprivacy'? and that gravity box is for the softkeys and its this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554049 ? i'll look into that tomorrow, since its getting late here and i dont wanna mess up now ^^

Mornin', you're very welcome!
Xprivacy it's kind of complicated, but that reading will help you. I admit I don't use it, but I know it gives you full control on privacy and this is what you were looking for As you said, it's just a matter of time!
Btw you can install modules directly from Xposed Installer application, so you can bypass the Play Store.
Yes that's gravity box: it's very good and popular, you can surely reverse/set all the software keys, but also do a lot of modding!
It's more intuitive than Xprivacy, just go ahead options and try them, it's safe!
Good luck and forgive my english!

i am no native english tongue myself, so i dont notice anything wrong with your english. no need to excuse, i make mistakes myself.
i was under the impression that you could do 'stupid' stuff with xprivacy, like i was able to deny my camera app access to the camera with pdroid. that was a good way to test if it was properly working. so i tried and deny firefox access to 'internet' but that didnt seem to work, but then again it especially said its no going to break apps. i dig into all of this further later on.
just a question, what would be a good way to verify it is working like its supposed to? talking about xprivacy here...
edit: and to answer my question no.5: there is another setting for vibration in the keyboard itself, so you have to go through -> language and input -> select settings on your keyboard -> vibrate on key push (or sth along those lines), so basically you have to turn it off twice.

Yeah, of course! I thought you managed this already! Keyboard is like an app itself, and has its own settings (i.e. vibration)
so i tried and deny firefox access to 'internet' but that didnt seem to work

I just tried it and i had no problem to deny the access for Firefox. When you open xprivacy in the app list tap on the Firefox Logo, not on the name or the checkbox. If you do so the details will open. If you now tick the category "Internet" then you will see that it is checked as a square, not as a hook. If it is a square it is only partially blocked. If you go now into the details of the category "Internet", you will see, that not all options are checked. Some are even marked red because they might be essential for the functionalty of the specific app. If you check also these and maybe also all others, then you can prevent Firefox of getting access to the Internet. If you check all items in Internet manually you'll see that category internet has now a hook than a square.
but then again it especially said its no going to break apps.

You can check for example all outgoing connections to the internet from your device. I have not tested this tool, or similar like that, but i will now because i just had the idea Else you can also prevent Facebook app to connect. I use Auto Hide Softkey App. I can for example prevent that it uses the overlay function, so it can not modify the UI and hide the Navbar.
Xprivacy is a very powerful tool. If you want it more simple, you can activate the in Android but Disabled inbuilt AppOPS App (search for AppOPS). But it is also less powerful.
I bought xprivacy. If you buy it, you can download the restrictions automatically and upload yours for others. You are also able to export end import the settings if licensed. Also nice that you can buy it via Paypal because i do not have a Credit Card (and i don't want).
but google-ing 'clock app' wasnt the most helpful thing i've ever done ^^
Click to expand...

You should definitely work on your Googling skills
Try "best android clock apps" "List of android clocks" and so on, there are dozens.
maybe there is even the possibility to install a stable version of cyanogenmod on the moto g which would solve most of my issues? but since this is running so smoothly i dont want any nightly builds, alphas or betas on this thing right now...

My friend, you are really funny
Cyanogenmod just got a snapshot Status few days ago. It is one step ahead being a nightly and to steps behind beeing stable

Oh and for some settings you do you also have to restart your phone. But actually it will tell you to do so by displaying a toast.

well you explained it yourself pretty much, the app was designed to not break apps in the way they work but restrict them from your privat data. so when i clicked firefox'es internet permission and it had the square, i disabled some but not all of it. thats all i was saying

i wasnt on my computer for quiet some time so i couldnt answer on this thread, my apologies.
i bought the pro version of xprivacy with paypal too and i synced my permissions for all apps with the cloud or crowd. it could find and sync most of my apps which is a nice and easy way to get around the ridiculous amount of permissions to set for each app.
can you confirm that most of the synced crowd settings make sense in the way of privacy protection? because i havent looked too much into all those settings but even when i did i couldnt quiet understand them in depth...
also @Landrea thanks for recommending gravity box, that thing is amazing! i was able to restore most of the cyanogenmod settings i was missing, great! also i could reconfigure my softkeys, but i am thinking about this app here to maximize my usable screensize:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tsorn.FullScreen
or is there a setting for that in gravity box i missed?

Check navigation bar settings in gravity box, you can change the size of the soft keys and gain space.
Go for that apps if you think you need more usable screensize (hard to believe)

i wondered what that would be and imagined something for screen transmission (chromecast) or something like that, thanks for clearing that up! best to have as little extra programs as needed on my device... cool gravity box got that covered aswel, liking this more and more!
To install the Google play store simply head to Apkmirror.com or Apkpure.com and download the store from there. After that you can install all your favorite apps from the Google play store it's as simple as that. One final note if you are in China you will need a VPN to be able to use Google services and the play store. Goodluck!
In the future, i will be updating this thread title & date if there is a new update to the CN firmware. Good luck

Thanjs ASUS for listening to us users who were early birds to the CN version
New minor security(month of October) & stability update Ver. 1810.77 (120 mb).
New Update has arrived enabling Aura lighting for calls and app notifications, other updates include network speed and November security patch.
*Cyan strobe light for incoming call.
*Orange strobe for missed calls or app notifications in general(default) but you can customize the color for each app.
By the way if you are wondering yes the led notification and Aura Lighting both work at the same time when you have a notification so if your phone is turned back or is up front you will not miss your notifications.
I love this phone. Thanks ASUS?

yesterday when i was playing pubg suddenly my screen got auto touch issue. that means when i was touching on left side of the screen the person is moving right side to the screen
once i restarted the mobile everything went back to normal. i don't know if its a defective screen or software bug but i was really worried. have you faced any such kind of issues
thanks for your reply.

Most likely it's just a software bug, anyway i haven't faced such issues because I don't play resource intensive games like PUBG so I can't tell.
New Update V.1812.68-0!.
New minor update Ver. 1920.80-0.
Really hating these garbage updates for the accessories. No fixes for any of the crucial problems with the accelerometer, microphone, etc.
Here is an Excel spreadsheet that I made with all packages from the EVR-L29 and how to remove them without root. Each package name is listed along with the description of each package (if applicable) and whether or not each package is safe to remove. Use your own common sense on removal of some of these. Obviously if you want the stock dialer and contacts then don't remove the Android Dialer & Contacts packages. You need ADB & Fastboot extracted to a folder on your PC and you have to open up a command prompt in that folder.

I don't use the Facebook app nor do I screen share on Facebook so I really can't be of much help. Maybe there is someone else here who knows the reason why it's not working? The only thing I can tell you is make sure all of the permissions for Facebook are checked under "Special Access" in settings/apps/apps/3 dots at the top right, Special access.
Excellent list. I kinda, ' winged it on the AL-00 but this will help for next time. I'm assuming there was more junk on the Chinese version.

Yeah there are some more on the Chinese version but a lot of them can be removed without penalty. I'm hoping to eventually buy an AL00 version as well so I can play around with rebranding. I wouldn't mind having one of each to help with development.
Removing the stock dialer is a bad idea. It can mess with emergency calling. I don't recommend you do that.

Removing the stock dialer is optional. I always remove it and use Google Dialer and have no issues.

Thanks bro. it worked
Thank you! Uninstalled annoying facebook stuff and more importantly - Huawei's stock music app. Everytime I connect to my car, it auto launches and I resorted to denying it my storage access, but having it completely gone feels better.
A quick question - will a factory reset return all these removed apps?
Cheers!

Yes it will, it's in the last line in the description in the OP.
Great list, this is super helpful!
EDIT, just a word of warning, I did a few of the things in green, nothing that I thought was system related, mostly cleaning up Huawei apps.
Phone no longer boots. Had to factory reset..

I removed every single thing in green and also about 10 more apps and have no issues. Do you have the Chinese or Global version? I can't remember. Make sure you don't remove Huawei Updater (HWOuc)

I'm on the Global version. What's also interesting is that after a factory reset I have some menus and things that are different. Even though I am supposedly on the same build.
For example when you do the recent tasks, it used to show me all the apps running in a left to right scroll-able list. Currently its now an top to bottom list. Not sure I care either way, but it's interesting that its different.

Same thing happened to me, did you get the original recents (horizontal) back?
I'm guessing it has something to do with the Huawei launcher being removed. I had the same happened after removing it then switching to Apex.

Removing the stock launcher will change the recents to the old style. It was the same on my OnePlus 6.
Hello everyone, I don't know if there is a question like this already but I would like to know : How can I write a text/ personal message on my lockscreen please?
I had this on my old LG V 30 and I can't find it on my Fx2 pro.
I don't know if that is possible at all, I've never seen any options for that. But what you can do is display a text on your AOD.

That's true, I've had the same thing happen to me when I restored a backup from my old Samsung. While then option clearly exists on standard Android and thus also is part of the backup routine, Oppo simply seems to have chosen not to implement the option in ColorOS. I wonder if it would be possible to somehow access or change settings for that via ADB commands.... ?
Has anyone figured out how to change this? I too restored from another phone (Oneplus 7T) and I can't change the (incorrect) lockscreen text I have!
It must be stored on the device in Android somewhere...
Nope, there is no option available. I have the same issue.
I spoke to Oppo customer support today about this and they confirmed there's no way to change it and said "they've already let headquarters know about this and there may be a fix in a future update".
I wouldn't hold you breath!
In the meantime this must be stored somewhere on the device!

But good luck with that in a phone with locked bootloader and no way to root.
Yeah, too true unfortunately.
Since I moved from Samsung Galaxy note 10+ to MiS12 Ultra, my WhatsApp and WhatsApp business, and even the dual WhatsApp account are being banned like every 24 hours. I send an email to WhatsApp support and they reply that their system flagged my accounts for suspicious activities and violations...bla bla and then they check, confirm that they are no violations and unban the accounts. a couple of hours later I would be banned again
I tried to explain to them that this is happening repeatedly but in vain. They just do the same every time.
I have the updated official Chinese ROM MIUI 14 and Android 13
Other than that, contact names on WhatsApp sometimes appear, sometimes not, so is my profile photo to my contacts
Anyone is having the same problem? Any solutions? I have tried registering my phone numbers, uninstalling and re-installing WhatsApp, but nothing seems to work
Would appreciate any help, as I started considering abandoning WhatsApp completely
Maybe try:
Try to uninstall Whatsapp and install it again. As soon as the app is up, enable two factor authentication to prevent the ban.

You're not the only one reporting this, seems to be a problem with Whatsapp .
Tried looking if anyone was reporting it but couldn't. I think it's specific to the device or ROM, since I tried going back to my old device and there was no issues at all. Of course I'm not planning to continue using both devices

Maybe because it is a Chinese device.
I suspect maybe your Chinese ROM. Try installing the Xaiomi.eu ROM. It has been debloated and deChinesed.
Here's what apparently worked for me. I have enabled (no restrictions) for WhatsApp in manage apps->whatsapp and I have manually synced WhatsApp account. There was also an updated version so I updated mine and until now everything seems to be working fine, i hope
How do you do that kindly

Does that mean if my account is permanently banned on a xiaomi device it might work on other devices
Am facing the same and finally the ban my Number Completely.
I managed to install EU ROM but am still facing the same and I can't use WhatsApp even after buying new Phone Google Pixels

My Xiaomi 10,11,12 and 13 Ultras all worked with Chinese stock ROM before moving to EU ROM. It has nothing to do with the Chinese ROM. I have used my 13 Ultra since launch with WhatsApp on the Chinese stock ROM. No issues with using and restoring account data here in the UK.

I was facing same problem with my Redmi K30i and solved issues, but this is not recommended.
You have to unlock your phone and need to install pixel experience rom with android 13. Only this rom stop WhatsApp's frequent band. I tried all rom but only this rom worked
