*   [Moto unlock site][3]

1.  Unlock Bootloader

adb reboot-bootloader
    sudo fastboot oem get\_unlock\_data
    # paste together code and post into moto form ...
    # wait for unlock key from motorola ...
    sudo fastboot oem unlock KEY
    sudo fastboot oem unlock KEY  # have to run it twice
    sudo fastboot reboot

1.  Flash TWRP 
    *   <https://eu.dl.twrp.me/cedric/twrp-3.3.1-0-cedric.img.html>

adb reboot-bootloader
    sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1--cedric.img
    # "Image not signed or corrupt" is harmless.
    # Immediately select recovery using bootloader screen
    #  otherwise boot will overwrite twrp

1.  Wipe 
    1.  In the Decrypt /data screen, press cancel, then "Swipe to Allow Modifications" 
    2.  Go to WIPE, then "Swipe to Factory Reset" 
    3.  Come back to TWRP main menu, go to REBOOT, then RECOVERY, then DO NOT INSTALL 
    4.  "Swipe to Allow Modifications" 
2.  Disable forced encryption 
    1.  Push and flash "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip" 
3.  Flash SuperSU 
4.  Flash Magisk 
    1.  Push and flash "Magisk-v11.6.zip" # NOT VERSION 12! 
    2.  After the setup, come back to TWRP main menu, go to REBOOT, then SYSTEM, then DO NOT INSTALL 
    3.  Run and update Magisk App

## Updates for Oreo

It seems like twrp-3.3.1 can unlock encrypted partitions so no-verity-opt-encrypt may not be needed.

# Troubleshooting

## Slow Google search widget

Clear Launcher3 Data

Settings > Apps > top right tri-colon > Show System > Launcher3 > storage > delete

This will reset the home screen.

# Backup and Restore

## UIDs and GIDs

adb shell
    su
    cat /data/system/packages.xml

List `userId`s or `sharedUserId`s:

xmlstarlet sel -t -m '//package'  -v @sharedUserId -v @userId -o '     ' -v @name -n
