Anyway to get wifi calling on rooted Z play - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

I've got my Moto Z Play rooted on the stock Nougat firmware, and I'm wondering, is there anyway I can get wifi calling/sms enabled for my device either through a custom ROM or a settings modification?

Natively, I'm not sure. The easiest way imho is using Google voice.

Camera from stock ROM to CM12.1 ROM from BetaHydri

Hello,
First let me thank all of you that are helping us get more stabled // advanced software in our devices.
After two months with stock ROM, I installed CM12.1 ROM from BetaHydri two days ago and I'm very happy with it's performance.
My question is that if it's possible to install the camera from the stock rom. I prefer the new opencamera but I miss the slow motion feature. Is there any other camera in market with that?
The SIM2 can't connect to mobile data at full speed. Is it a limitation on this ROM?
I can't update showbox and I I get a FC when trying to see a movie. Does anyone with this ROM have problems with showbox?
Thank you all, again.

Showbox v2.6.7 is working without issues.

Maybe you need my 4.1 ROM where I have updated and integrated the build.prop files yesterday. I have implemented some recommended fix settings on that. So maybe you should try it.

Thanks for your reply.
I managed to switch both SIM cards and I have a configuration that I like.
The showbox app (7.72) is to watch online movies: com.tdo.showbox. It's not available in playstore. I downloaded the apk from external site and now it works well.
Please, help on suggesting a camera with slow motion like the stock one.
Great work on this, really thank you for your time.

noob wifi hotspot

Just received a HTC for use on cricket/art
I'm looking for a nougat ROM that has tethering enabled.
Modified stock, or los etc is fine.
I understand how to get twrp and use it. I'd just like a little member help in a suggestion for the ROM.

I'm guessing your provider has blocked wifi hotspot? Two popular custom ROMs are Viper and Leedroid. I'm 99.9% sure neither of those has wifi hotspot disabled.

Security Update

Ok just got my new Moto z2 force, and it has the Sep 2017 security update.. Now all I want to do is root and debloat my phone (Ssprint). Should I update to the latest before unlocking the booloader, or just go a head.. Thanks

I would go ahead with the update and then unlock the bootloader and install TWRP + Root.

Just bought mine too. I took the updates and have root no issue
Security Patches coming all 60 days, rigth? So, next one after mai patch is the 07/2018 patch, which should come next month. Maybe with 8.1?

Nice. @Uzephi has a kernel for stock ROMs and one for AOSP based ROMs. I have used the stock ROM kernel with good results and zero issues. Good luck and happy flashing!!

Sure, but I see some problems by using of custom roms on my other phone (Z Play), so I prefer to get official updates without unlocking the bootloader for my newer Z2 Force. Second reason is the guarantee for manufacturer issues. And I need the Z2 Force for watching videos like netflix and co, so safety net needed. SD 835 can content play in HD from netflix, so important thing. On Z Play I can see the pixels (just Full HD), but on Z2 Force it's perfect. Much better, you can't see pixels anymore. That's perfect to play movies. Many people try to explain that we can't see the difference, but I see it. VR an Co is all better now. And I hope that we get 3 years Security Updates. It's an expensive business phone for 800€, so we should get updates for long time.

I am rooted with Magisk V16.0 on the stock ROM right now and I have never had an issue with passing SafetyNet. Passes every time. All my apps work too including Netflix. No issues with the Play Store not allowing me to download apps by saying the app is not compatible with my device.

I have no issues as well with downloading any apps from Play Store.. Only quesiton, when installing a new kernel. Is it like on other phones, wipe cache before flashing the kernel? I don't want to screw up a FREE PHONE from Sprint. LOL

You can book YouTube Premium(europe). Then you get support for background playback. That's new, calls YouTube Red, too. Maybe that helps.
Edit: VivisClone, you was faster with your answer, just few seconds. But yes, that's the way.
Anyone know how to install Xposed on this deivce.. I tried the new sdk26 v90 beta which is all they had for Oreo 8.0 but made in Jan 27 2018. It ended in a fail..

Try to mount system. Install Xposed. Switch to other slot (a or b) , restart twrp, mount system and install again.

You can use the YouTube Vanced edition that is available as an apk or get it from Magisk. It allows background playback and ad blocking plus some other settings that the stock YouTube app doesn't have like forced Codecs and Max resolution override as well as a few themed editions. It's the only version of YouTube I will use. There is even a version available for non-rooted devices that still gives the same options.

I just use telegram pop out and I get background and screen off play without root.
I can't get my phone to update. Every time I try, it says "Software update unsuccessful" and under that says "Sorry, there was a problem updating your Moto Z2. No changes were made."
I keep getting the popup on unlock to update, but have to go to "remind me later" every time since it wont successfully update. I'm trying to update security update 1 May-2018. And software version OCXS27.109-48-6

It won't update if you're rooted/twrp or have modified the system in any way.

Anyone using z2 for Fortnite?

How does it perform? Worthwhile?
It actually runs pretty well, but it's very touchy when it comes to what it will run on. I have only been able to get it to work on the stock rom, I have stock rooted with magisk manager hidden and magisk hide on for both firtnite installer and firtnite. If you use substratum then it boots you, and certain magisk module cause issues too.
You guys use gamepad on fortnite?

Lineage 14.1 camera can't connect 8.4 WiFi

I rooted and flashed my tab pro 8.4 Sm-t20 with linageos 14.1 unofficial. So far everything is running fine but I can't get the back camera to work. I tried a few camera APps and a reset app I found on YouTube but can't get it to work. Has any one else been able to get it to work?
Thanks in advance

If you really have a need for the camera to work AFAIK your best solution is to downgrade to a previous ROM version.
Camera will NOT work in 14,never has and never will

I'd really like it to work it bothers me a little bit that I just can't get it to work. I really don't need it to work. I have my phone and another tablet that the camera does work on, have not rooted or put a custom rom on those. I do use Google duo and another app for video chat but it is what it is.
The thing is it's a shame Samsung isn't updating this model any more. It's actually got a slightly better screen and CPU than the 8" tab A I have yet it's stuck on kitty Kat with OEM software. I like having more updated software and the stock Android is more like what's on my Moto X4, so I'm not likely to flash it back to kitty Kat.
