Alright, the purpose of this thread is simple. I made this with the intention of uniting all of the d803 users, and give them the opportunity to post a request for a rom they would like to see on their d803's that is available for other variants such as the d802. At the moment, I've found a way to "port" only d802 roms to the d803, and by port I mean making some slight changes that allow the rom to boot in our devices without any or with the least issues possible. These two devices are very similar hardware-wise, so software wise it doesnt change much.
If there's any D802 rom that you would like to see on our D803, feel free to leave a reply and I will do my best to move my gears and upload it so you guys can have it! As we all know, the development scene for the Canadian variant isnt as active as the d801 or D802, and with this I aim to end that barrier by trying to make those roms available to our device
Too long didnt read version:
If the rom exists for the D802, post a reply and I will try to make it available for the D803
Disclaimer:
I am in no way a developer, I simply edit files and put them in the right place so it boots for us. I do this to help fellow d803 users.
If I helped with a file, always make a nandroid backup just in case things go haywire. Anything that happens to your phone is your responsibility.
Everything I submit gets tested rigorously on my own G2 before being posted to ensure its working, but we all get different results, so the experience might vary. Just a heads up.

To port any ROM to any version just download your devices patch from dr87's Mahdi ROM thread then all u gotta do is change out the boot IMG, a few lines in the build prop n updater script then flash ROM, gapps, the patch then your good. We had a similar patch for toro on the gnex forum and I was waiting for the day someone put one together for us seeing as all g2's use the same mainboard. The days of worrying about whether your variant will get support is finally over, for aosp Roms at least. I'm gonna try doing it w a stock ROM to see if that works cuz that's something I'd really love to see. Cuz as a vs980 owner I can say from experience that our stock ROM development is lacking compared to the d802 or f320

Well I meant it more in a way for those who don't understand much about editing the updater script and exchanging the boot.IMG. with what I'm offering all they have to do is ask the ROM and I'll post it online with said changes in case they don't know how to do it. Something like a small favor for everyone, but thanks for the reply!
Request
If you could please port this rom I would very much appreciate it

Could you possibly make a quick tutorial on how to do this? or possibly direct me to where i could find one?
Hi, I was looking at your old thread about how you could port d802 roms to d803. I was wondering if you could port cyanogenmod 11 snapshot m12. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d802 i would really appreciate it. and it seems like u are good at what u do so you should maybe consider building for d803 for cyanogenmod. thousands of d803 users have been waiting for cyanogenmod support but to this day have recieved none. anyways if u could port it i would really appreciate it! thanks!

Mysself and @MotoJunkie01
Are working on fixing aboot to allow for custom recovery which will in turn allow for flashing a custom rom.
As of yet. Custom rom is not possible
So its been around a year. Are there anymore advancements made with this phone? Or has it just been abandoned? Would really like to have root without bootloop issue and a custom rom would be fantastic. Please let me know!

It isn't as much that device development has been abandoned as it is that Android in general is quickly evolving. I think I'm safe in saying that interests have shifted. With the release of Android Pie 9.0, and with official releases of LineageOS 15.1 for various devices, interests have shifted to devices which are not as locked down as the Zone 3, and devices for which development is more easily implemented. Don't get me wrong, I love the Zone 3 and only recently purchased a new one. However, the Zone 3, like many budget LG smartphones, is difficult in terms of development due to the OEM's policies regarding device security.
In addition, full root has been available for the Zone 3 for some time, without boot looping and without display driver issues. Seek out @Astr4y4L over at Android Central, where he now develops, and he should put you on the right path.
I've been thinking about the myriad of "old" gadgets that are alive thanks to the variety of ROMs available these days.
But a fact that intrigues me is why this device has very few ROMs available ... it really is something that draws the attention precisely because it has a good potential to receive them.
I have been around the G2 Mini forums since, pretty much, when the device was released. If you have a look at the oldest posts, some of them are mine.
In that time, I have seen many devs, at first trying to unlock the bootloader of the device, with Zaaap finally succeeding, by figuring out how the Russians at 4pda hacked the bootloader of the L90, and then he, and others, made some ROMs.
Since then, the only ROM dev that seems to still be working on our device is @mobiusm . Other that him, I still work on my kernel, with the help of @likeadracula . (However, he is very busy and I don't have any features to add, so there is little work done lately)
I don't know why there aren't any other devs, although, I believe it's because of the initial price (250-300 €) so no dev got it, and, even when the price dropped, it was already "old".
So, yeah, that's what I think.
P.S.: This is not a development thread, but a discussion. It belongs in G2 Mini General.
EDIT: Thread moved by mod.
For me, one developer who works on ROMs and one on Kernels, seems like a lot for a nearly 4 year old, non flagship device.
Also, having the newest Recovery & newest ROM which are worked out properly + a neat kernel with all the features you desire should not be taken for granted.
I am very grateful for all the development that has been done and will be done and I wouldn't know why I should get a new phone, 'cause this one works just fine, at least for me.
My surprise in relation to this fact is related that this device does not differ in anything from the L90 in terms of hardware, and the boot unblocking is the same, same procedures, so it is common to see roms for L90 and not for the G2m. This is something I'm surprised about. Obviously I am happy that there is still developer for this device, particularly the rom of my preference that is the LOS, did not abandon it, so 2..3 or more roms for it does not make as much difference since I just like to use the LOS on my devices, for the stability, performance and commitment of the team to all supported devices, however, is my view, other people have divergent thoughts.

Actually, precisely because of the similar hardware, it's very easy for the L90 ROMs to be ported to the G2M.
One the devs that have made ROMs for the g2m recently told me that he is using the L90 for initial testing and then uses the blobs for the g2m to make it work. (I don't actually know, but I think that the only problem with the L90 blobs is the camera or the WiFi, if anything)
In fact, it's so easy that anyone, with the most basic knowledge of Linux, can get it to work. I think. I haven't actually tried.
So, find a ROM of the L90 that you like and give it a shot. Just follow an online tutorial and you should be able to port it.
If you need any help, just let me know. Or anyone on the forum (though, some, myself included, are busy)

Just make a backup in recovery
If it works, let us know!
I might even make a small zip that modifies the build props to say the correct information.
P.S.: As always, I take no responsibility. Your phone, your fault. (Disclaimer)

If I try, I'll report
Complicated ... but as I said, it was only a sudden surprise because there were few roms, however, for my daily use, LOS I like, of course some options are always welcome, but if it is not possible, good size too.

not working,error in start installing zip,probably should first edit build.prop and kernel

In the install script in the zip, there is a command "assert" that checks the device.
Remove that line and it will install.
I would like your opinion if it is worth changing my devices; Moto G Falcon and the LG D618, both in perfect condition, for a Moto G4 Play?

Is it possible for g2m to die if you try to install a rom of the L90?

Nope. Only soft brick (a.k.a. bootloop)
Just restore the backup you (hopefully) made before flashing
Or, wipe /system /data and /cache and then flash a ROM for the g2m.
Still, no responsibility taken
They released an unofficial version of the android Oreo for the L90.
Hello everyone.
Im new here.
I just want to ask something.
When porting roms can my base ROM and my port ROM have different android version?
Looking forward to having responses
P/s: sorry for bad engrisk )

It has been a looong time since I knew about those things but if I remember your base ROM should have that same Android version as your port ROM.
And if you want an advice, please consider building a ROM from source. Troubleshooting is hell with ported ROMs. Building ROM is scary because it has commands that you don't know yet, but it's way more easy than porting. Trust me.
Here is a guide on how to build ROM from source :

@XdaNeko
It's NOT the version of Android what does matter. If that would be the case then an upgrade via OTA never would be possible.
A Stock ROM always at 100% matches phone's hardware ( CPU, GPU, RAM, storage memory, etc.pp ) - it's built by OEM's / Carrier's R&D department, the guys who know best of.
Whereas a Custom ROM necessarily does NOT because it gets built by 3rd-party companies/programmers associations - who think they can do it better, but don't always have the specific Android device at hand.
Ive been rooting and tinkering with various different android phones for years now . Motorola has always been my favourite when it comes to rooting . Now my question is now what? I would love to finally pitch in on development starting with this device seeing as there is very little on this one as far as custom roms and what not. This device reminds me of the G7 Power with the A/B format. I was looking in on possibly bringing Ubuntu Touch to this device and as far as i can tell I just would need to make a halium kernal for it . Can someone maybe help me or tell me how incan possibly help on makimg that happen? Please bare with me . This is my very first time posting on this website . Im very savy when it comes to the android, ios and computers in general , Im running the stock rom and have done very little besides install some root apps. I would love to help out with any kind of development so please someone let me know . Ill be regularly checking my notifications and messages . Cheers!
I'm not a programmer, but I'd love to have LineageOS on my device. I haven't had the opportunity to play with Ubuntu Touch, but I assume that the F-droid store alone surpasses the app development for the Ubuntu Touch. Have fun!
Im suprised more people arent all over this device like when the G7 came out ....this device is awesome and the battery life alone is enough reason to want to buy it ...Guanma FTW!!

What i found appealing about Ubuntu Touch is i recently read that you can now run android apps on it and i totally agree Lineage would be awesome and an obvious first step to take with this device now that we know it can be rooted...also TWRP development is a must
So far I'm really happy with it. The only thing is with how big it is, people with smaller/weaker hands are going to have a tough time. Good to know about Ubuntu Touch supporting android apps!
I too just got a G Play (2021), after spending the past 8 yrs. with my beloved HTC Ones (m7,m9). Ironically, it was Motorola that I left for HTC. I've been somewhat impressed with this phone's performance in stock bloat (I mean stock TRIM). I came in here today not expecting to see much, if anything, on this phone; but I've found enough info to get me started.
TY XDA, for all your hard work.
