So, i've used Snapchat on both
Stock (5.1.1 - Oi1 Rom) and Custom Rom (Renegade)
I can't seem to get it to work on the custom rom, i've always had to use the stock rom and it would work just fine, but on the other it would say "temporarily logged out" or something different, but when i boot back to stock, its fine and doesn't hesitate to say that.
Am i missing something here?? i've already tried resetting my password 5 times to be sure.
Snapchat 9.1.17.1.0 -- Xposed Snapprefs 1.6.2
Snapchat and Root
I don't use Snapchat, but this might explain your issue:
http://www.xda-developers.com/snapchat-is-at-it-again-and-blocks-root-users-but-for-how-long/
Snapchat detects Root and stops working, XDA builds a work-around into Xposed, Snapchat puts out a new patch and repeat.
Found something new: Try updating to Snapprefs 1.6.4. And you will find more help here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-snapprefs-ultimate-snapchat-utility-t2947254
Thank you!
I've actually ended up researching and figuring it outmyself my way or work around.
Snapchat checks or scans to see if "Xposed" which leads me to not log in.
So in order to use Snapchat with Snapprefs or 3rd party, you would need to either
Install stock and root it, then log into snapchat with the latest version and then go to recovery to install xposed.
or
Install stock and root then boot to recovery to install the custom rom and do no install xposed framework.
Once done with booting up and setting up, install snapchat latest version, log into it and then install xposed.
once thats done download 'xinstaller' and check to enable downgrading and updating and then install 'snapprefs' for all the
juicyness of customizations.
Profit!
My configuration.
Snapchat -
9.17.1.0
Xposed -
75 wanam 20151008 - seems to work best for me on both roms instead of v79.
Snapprefs -
1.6.2

I found a work around for it my phone died and I signed into my sc from another device used it and logged off when I tried signing in on my phone I got temp login failure notice this is what I did to get back on:
On a second device, download latest version and sign into Snapchat
Once done, root second device and download titanium backup
Make a back up of Snapchat from second device and send the .tibkp back up or whatever to the first device
On first device download latest version of snapchat and titanium back up and restore the data only from the file you sent to the first device from the second device
Once done use sc like normal
Works fine unless you sign out from Snapchat on the second device so what I did is I froze Snapchat on the second device and erased the back up.
Why does Snapchat do this? Does anyone have any idea why?

They make a silly app with an unenforceable premise, the app sucks and they block third-party alternatives, their security is awful, their background data drain is known to go nuts, and now they are blocking root users so they can better charge you for replays??
But still they can't tame the root..
p.s. the CEO is an Apple fanboy..
I decided to update my phone from CM13 to CM14.1 the other day without having read anything about CM14 and not realising how new it was (yes I know, stupid thing to do!).
So after the update I've had nothing but problems with google services not working properly, so I uninstalled google services from the apps menu within the phone, downloaded the Android 7.1, ARM, Stock version of GAPPS from opengapps.org and booted my phone into TWRP and flashed the newest version of gapps.
This fixed the issue with google services not responding, however now none of my apps work.
Anytime I try to load an app such as facebook, email, browser. My phone will freeze for several minutes and then the app will just tell me its stopped responding.
Does anybody have any advice on what to do? (I dont care if the result is that I have to wipe the phone and lose everything on it, just want my phone to work again!)
Edit: an additional piece of info, any time I try to do something that requires root access (for example moving an app to my SD card) my phone will tell me that I don't have root access, even though I must because I'm using cyanogenmod...

Try doing a clean flash of the rom along with the respective gapps package. You have to flash the rom and gapps together. And for the root issue, you have to first turn ON root from the developer options in settings.

Scrap this, solved the additional problem I was having.
Thank you for your assistance, all is working well now
Hi guys, is there a way to change the carrier name? The correct name for my carrier is "telecom Italia spa", not "... Italiz spa". Thanks in advance.
When installing some of the apps like IFTTT,adapticons and greenify(the most imp. app for this phone ) the phone starts rebooting and stuck on the boot image the only solution i could find is either formatting phone or deleting app data from file manager with the help of TWRP.The phone starts rebooting when the app just finished downloading from play store and starts installing.And i try to install the same apps from external source it happens again but the difference is only that this time a message prompt arrives and says play store stopped working.It happens in all the ROMS. I have tried to clear the whole internal storage(excluding recovery,obviously ) but the issue doesn't get fixed...
What can i do to solve this problem?
did you manage to solve it?

The solution
The only Marshmallow Rom without this issue is AOSP rom, but If you still wanna use other 6.0 Rom you will have to use older version of apps which are causing bootloops.
Also Nougat Rom's don't have this problem but I don't find them stable enough for daily use.

This happens for the "Android System Webview" apk. To solve this issue, here's a step by step guide:
1. Download Android System Webview by Google. (Not from play store. Must be downloaded as an APK)
2. Delete Current Webview with a root browser. (Es file explorer recommended. Located in system/apps/webview.)
3. Reboot device.
4. Now Install the new webview you downloaded.
Problem solved.
Tested and working successfully. Android 5.0.2 , 5.1, 6.0 All ROM with this issue is.... fixed with this method. Tested on all ROMs.
Enjoy.
---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------
The webview implements a code into the system to properly show the app package to system UI. But the default Android System Webview which comes with the system is kinda bugged. It conflicts with some apps package. This conflict mess up the system... crashing the UI, then the whole system itself. So the device reboots and/or gets stuck in bootloop. Removing the preinstalled webview will solve the issue. I have posted the step by step guide above.
I have had a problem loading Android Auto (AA) on my LG G4. I have rooted with Steadfaster's UsU and installed his Lineage 15.1 rom, opengapps nano (Sept 30) and the phone is working great. Prior to rooting the phone AA worked fine with MM 6.0. After rooting the phone, when I open the AA app on the phone I get the error "Something went wrong. Google play services doesn't seem to be working right now". The error comes up immediately and then the app closes. I tried plugged into in the car as well (Pioneer AVIC 4200 deck), but the error stops the phone when opened.
I have been through Google's forums and there have been lots of posts about this error and no real solutions for me posted. I have also tried other "fixes" I have come across, including this one - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832/. This method involves:
1. Download and install System App Remover from the Google Play Store.
2. Put your device in Airplane Mode in order to prevent auto upgrade of GPS.
3. Open System App Remover and select "System App" from the menu.
4. Find Google Play Services in the list. It should be marked "Should keep", which is a suggestion from the publisher. Select it and press "Uninstall". Ignore completion message.
5. Using Settings/Apps, verify that Google Play Services has reverted to the factory-supplied version. It should be <7. "Force Stop", "Uninstall Updates", and "Disable" buttons should no longer be grayed out.
7. Reboot device and toggle Airplane Mode off.
I followed these steps, but unfortunately stock seems to be the version that came with opengapps which is current.
I'm out of ideas with this problem and need some help. AA is a great app for me and really handy on long trips. I would like to get it running if at all possible.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

Even when it sounds obvious but have you installed AA clean so without restoring data from a backup? Do you have tried to completely factory reset the phone? Do you have tried to format data in TWRP? Obviously you should have a backup of your internal storage when doing so .
You should also catch a logcat when starting the app

After rooting with UsU I followed sdembiske's recommendations for installing Lineage. This included a factory reset and formatting data with TWRP. I then installed Lineage 15.1 UsU and opengapps nano and then installed the apps I wanted. AA went on clean without restoring data. I will capture a logcat and post.

I have been through that forum and tried the last post just now - uninstall updates, clear cache, open AA - and I immediately get the error.
I'm thinking about doing a Titanium backup on apps and data (minus AA) then wipe, reinstall LOS 15.2, TWRP, Lineage SU, do a reboot, reinstall AA first and if it works then run Titanium restore for apps and data.
Make sense?

Well I wiped cache, Dalvik, system and then formatted data, installed the 15.1 UsU rom, then installed Gapps, rebooted to recovery and installed the Lineage addonsu. I rebooted, went through setup and the first thing I did was open the Playstore install Android Auto and run it - immediate error again. Also the addonsu did not root the phone. And to top it all I did not disable the pin code.
Back to the drawing board.

I have been beating the bushes and looking for a solution. None so far. You mention AA worked on your phone. Are you running LOS 15.1 and if no, which rom? Also re your install can you look in apps and notifications and see if the more options * is shown on the AA app. I have it, but when I select it nothing happens. My old Nexus 5 the * works and Android Auto opens no problem. LOS 7.1.2.

I run LOS 15.1 build 20181002 and at the time of installing that ROM version I used this opengapps version: open_gapps-arm64-8.1-nano-20180705.zip (download)
AA works here yes. I run it now for several days, daily, no issues here.
My version of AA is 3.7.584044 (attached: View attachment com.google.android.projection.gearhead-ffadc269cc39417e152ffcdd22183045.apk)
Not sure what you mean by "the more options *" but I've attached 2 screenshots of the app settings which may show what you meant.. if not show a pic of that setting.
oh you may meant the gear symbol at the top right? Here it opens fine but as that opens google stuff it makes sense that it fails on yours

Isn't mine basically the same as yours, other than H815? That gear icon will not open up the more options page. On my Nexus 5 with LOS 7.1.2 it opens a page with Settings for AA ie: Limit wifi, Connected cars, phone screen settings, etc.
If not the same maybe I should run your version of LOS.

H812 on the UsU Oreo build H812 build.
So I can copy what you have, other than I'm using the H812 versus the H815 LOS rom.
Thanks steadfasterX

Use my latest preview version of TWRP then you can backup your data AND internal storage . you can first try without format. if you still have issues try to format it and if it doesn't fix anything you can restore by TWRP but ensure that you use build 144 or higher

OK, thanks again. Will give it a go. I have your latest TWRP, 144_g4_0.
On the positive side after all kinds of failed troubleshooting my G4 has all of a sudden decided to connect with my PC. It shows as H812 in Explorer and in Device Manager as Lemobile Android Device with Android Composite ADB Device driver. A lot easier than using Cloud.

Gave it a go, but as soon as I tapped on AA the error came up. I did format data to start from clean and used the older versions of AA and Google Play.
Update - I reinstalled all my apps via Titanium Pro (not AA) and set things up. I decided to tryy AA one more time before removing it and bingo it opened. Kinda waking on broken glass here and unsure whether or not the app will continue to function. Hooefully this fixed things.
Thanks again steadfasterX.

Thanks man.
Managed to get magisk working with this rom..alongside twrp
Simply install latest magisk canary APK (284). Give it super user when it asks and restart the app
Then when clicking install...it gave me option of direct install (make sure recovery is selected). It should install successfully
I then rebooted to bootloader and to get to twrp hold volume up after selecting recovery and dont hold anything to boot back to Los..
Can't share my boot image if that helps anyone

I gave it a try. It did indeed let me patch directly. It was very unstable. Things asking for su multiple times and not remembering my choice, certain modules not installing, and I always seemed to lose root entirely after rebooting

yup... sorry, forgot to post... I assumed it was after installing modules.
Lockscreen not work for me, in all gsi roms.
Only stock works.
rom works great, feels like a new phone.
model XT1952-4.
not working unfortunately is the FM radio.
based on the error message when trying to install FM apps, it looks like the kernel driver was not included in the rom?
I can deal with the fingerprint not working, it would be really nice to get the FM driver included so I don't have to use data.
Overall the phone is so much better with this rom, Thank You!!!!
Hi, probably a stupid question, considering I'm new: what does this differ from the Lineage OS instructions for Moto G7 Play at their web site? I mean, why shouldn't I stick with their instructions?
I just want to understand what is at stake here (again, I'm new at this world of smartphone os's)
I'm really interested in replacing Android (which I like, but it's... Google ) and all carrier bloatware stuff by a free OS.
EDIT: Nevermind. I've just realized that it isn't for the G7 Play, it's for G7 only. Sorry about this (maybe useful for other newbies like me)
Thanks for all the work
Everything seems stable been using on daily driver for 2 days now. Only issue is bluetooth audio not working. I'm wondering if the Motorola face unlock app would work however current version isn't available.

I'm using this on a Moto g⁷ Play in the USA, currently it's pretty stable. As for what's at stake, you lose access to Bluetooth audio, fingerprint & faceunlock unless you have SD card formated as portable storage and manage to get magisk working. There's a fix for Bluetooth Audio with magisk or ADB but I don't remember what the command was. Also as for magisk you should be able to fix atleast faceunlock because Motorola uses an app for it.

Thank you very much for sharing. I await your further results if any new issues arise to proceed with installing Lineage OS 17
Good job with the notch feels good to swipe down properly I’m encountering a issue the captive login appears to be broken I can’t sign into any WiFi’s that need a portal entry the portal screen doesn’t come up also I found how to get magisk to work properly With twrp u need the newest canary version and u have to patch directly (have recovery option enabled) which u use the root of this rom to achieve that after that backup boot image in twrp which will leave it with the magisk patched and twrp after reinstall the rom remove the phh root and restore yeh boot image in twrp and reboot to recovery from twrp and install magisk manager just note it’s lineage that makes magisk act up hence certain apps not obtaining root is lineage fault cause with another GSI like havoc which this method works for also (works with all GSIs to my knowledge) there no root app issues or modules not working just noticed that on lineage

phone no longer working because of trying to install magisk but I'll be trying to fix with LMSA and then using @PoochyX's instructions tomorrow
Edit: LMSA is now Rescue and Smart Assistant, I just tried to restore it with this but it needs to be on stock firmware to restore.

Why not just boot into bootloader mode and fast boot stock firmware to recover your device ?

Hi,
From your experience which GSI is better for MOTO G7 Play 1952-2:
Havoc or Lineage ?
It depends on what u trying to do exactly if u a heavy Magisk user u want to stay away from lineage and use havoc since magisk plays well with it if u don’t care about magisk and just want a simple root then this rom be a good experience for other then rom WiFi portal issues this rom it’s excellent cause it’s the only one with the notch fix if that fix was easily implemented out this rom and could be used with another GSI that would of been fantastic...

Thank you for your reply.
I favor stability and performance over Magisk.
In my case, do your recommend Lineage as my best option to try?
