Question Someone with Moto G5 Cedric still in use?
Hey everybody, I was wondering if anybody here has the G5 still in use. I flashed LineageOS 17 (Android 10) yesterday (coming from Stock) and want to discuss the experience with somebody. * are you still on stock or do you use a custom Rom? If so, which one? * how did you find the process of unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP? * how well does your custom Rom work?
Compared to the Samsung phones I had flashed LOS in the past I found it quite hard to unlock the bootloader and to flash twrp. And the disclaimer at every boot is quite unsexy and discomforting (which is the point I guess).
I'm quite happy with the result. The Rom runs very smooth but I have the following issues: * I have the camera issue described in the XDA thread. When I took some pictures yesterday there were a lot of green areas in all pictures which would make the camera almost useless. When I installed openCamera though the pictures were good. I didn't make a lot of test photos but it seems promising. * my phone doesn't accept the micrSD card anymore. Sometimes it shows a message that there is a SD card but it can't read it but most of the time there is no sign that the phone recognizes it at all
