Anyone aware of when/if Coinomi will support Segwit for BTG addresses?
Tried following a tutorial to sweep/import from my Electrum private key, but the address is segwit and it said it couldn't find it.
At this point just hoping they support this so I can get my BTG since other wallets are also not working.

If you were holding coins on a segwit address before october 24th, then it should show up on the bitcoin gold blockchain at least. Have you confirmed that this is the case?

If this is the case.. then just learn how to do it in electrum.

It can't be done at this point. Coinomi doesn't support Segwit (or multisig) addresses, and I haven't heard any updates about it since they launched BTG support. Freewallet has BTG support but can't even sweep private keys at all.

As far as I know, since BTG has replay protection, you don't need to move your coins on the BTC blockchain before moving them into the BTG blockchain, so you can simply import the private key in there and get the keys. I don't know what Coinomi is, but if it's some sort of online exchange, I wouldn't trust it.

The problem is that Bitcoin Gold's official site and wallet are dodgy. A couple weeks back, they were serving unknown malware to anyone who downloaded their official wallet. This went on for almost two days. Personally, I'm not comfortable downloading their core wallet. Anyone who downloads it should do it in a VM or on a throwaway PC. And make sure you only import private keys after you've moved the BTC.
