[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] IronTechmonkey:
Reasonably asked in the Osprey Q&A thread or here (assuming you searched:)).

As far as I know, Other than the unofficial update from squid2 in February 2019 there have been no announcements here or in the LOS Osprey Q&A thread about newer versions which include latest security patch. That being said this does not mean no one has done it. To your point it's a good device, so perhaps someone did think it was worth doing. I'd suggest posting the question in the Q&A thread as well, and doing some wider research.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] Dave here:
There was a useful reply re building with recent security patches on this Q&A thread: Any stable ROM for Osprey still getting security updates? (#2).
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] Amjadh:
I know that there are many unofficial builds made available by several excellent devs in here.. But can I ask what happened to the official los revival of moto g3? Did something went wrong? Can we expect our device's name back in los webpage any time sooner or later?
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] Ritik99:
No one knows, if squid sir comes online then it might be possible, according to his last posts he was waiting for volte fix, and it was fixed by akianonymous last month which i tested.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] IronTechmonkey:
How recent were those posts? In any event, as implied by your note, people can find out if a developer is working on something else or taking a break by reviewing in their recent posts.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] Ritik99:
https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=80288095#post80288095

This is the last post he did, where he mentioned Volte to be broken. About a month back akianonymous sir came with a build to test Volte, and volte was working in that build, which according to him was for official los 15.1.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] IronTechmonkey:
That is more recent than I had expected - at least a sign that squid2 is still doing development work. Thanks.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] frenchiveruti:
Why is this thread still open if the links are all dead?
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] IronTechmonkey:
You can learn more about this by searching the thread and reviewing recent pages but...

Such is the nature of development. Official builds from the original developer ceased, hence broken links, then and other developer picked up unofficial development. In that context, without official builds this thread becomes more important. In fact that is one of the ways we can keep in touch with the state of things.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] frenchiveruti:
I understand, sorry if I came as someone that complained doing nothing.

Thanks for your kind reply.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] IronTechmonkey:
No worries. Many of us are eager for it and it's been a rough go for some LOS devices lately. A confluence of circumstances including the timing of Android updates and some structural changes at LOS, left many devices off the build rosters. At one point it was down to only three Motorola devices.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] frenchiveruti:
Yeah I figure, well.

So far I'm struggling with the freaking modem/bands of the phone and the regions and who knows what else, that decided to not work, at all.

Because Moto G 2015 (osprey) is no longer maintained by LOS Team, I built an unofficial LineageOS-based ROM (LOS 14.1).

I followed the instructions on the official link (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/osprey/build) without adding anything more.

Download:

lineage-14.1-20191201-UNOFFICIAL-osprey.zip (and md5su file): https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=302722&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC

==> The latest changes of LOS 14.1: https://www.lineageoslog.com/14.1 .... including the November security updates.

Official LOS addon SU (arm): https://download.lineageos.org/extras

Open GAPPs (arm): pico or nano is strongly recommended.

TWRP : a custom recovery (see OP - https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=11051#downloads)

This unofficial build requires a clean flash (Format Data + Full wipe) if you come from the official one.

You can use Migrate app (Migrate - custom ROM migration tool - Google play) for the migration:

I will try to build monthly for osprey… Hope so !

[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] Amjadh:
so no more builds?
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] IronTechmonkey:
How odd it is to be repeatedly asking for new build even as a new developer is keeping the ROM alive by providing just that - new build right there in the post to which you replied. We are lucky to have any development and such idle nagging could serve no purpose other than frustrate developers and testers. I would suggest that, if you are interested in different new builds or a faster pace of new builds, you learn to build ROMs or test and contribute viable bug reports.

[EDIT]Just realized we were both in a discussion about this within the past few months. Nothing has changed since then. squid2 does seem to remain active and the Moto G 2015 is still listed in his profile so maybe he will return to development here someday. Meanwhile we are fortunate enough to have someone else contributing builds. Nice problem to have.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] Eric_Lev:
You can flash

[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] Amjadh:
Okay, let me clarify... I may not be boasting any recognized contributer tags below my name but I have been around here for a long time.. I know the rules and ethics around here.. And then there are guys like U.. You parachute to any thread where some random guy enquires about builds and Y'all hurries to write a paragraph about how someone should behave to devs, thats so pathetic and awkward... U have to stop doing that.. As of right now, I saw a dead thread and I was about to flash older los posted in here. Just thought about asking the dev if he is building something newer so that I could decide whether to flash an old one or wait... He gratuitously posted the latest build and I was so happy and thankful.. But along with it, our excellent dev said that Google dropped Nougat support and there weren't any security updates for last few months.. Without security updates, I see no reason to maintain an android version so old as nougat.. So I asked him whether he plans on dropping Nougat builds because I see no point in building it anymore.. It isn't my fault that U read it as asking for an ETA.. Stop preaching members and try to help... No offense intended..
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] IronTechmonkey:
Having nothing to to with titles; I'll concede that I can sometimes be needlessly hard-a$$ and that perhaps I've done so here but... After having hiked here on the ground over 4 years ago and having a 10 year history of posting in threads only where I've got a reason to be involved it is almost amusing to be accused of parachuting into any thread, especially by someone who seems themselves to be hanging from a tree by their own parachute cords while asking those on the ground if it is safe to drop down... but this is off topic so onward to PM.

[EDIT] Getting back on topic and to your point about official dev: A review of the build build roster (and a recollection of some post I read a while ago) does indeed indicate that LOS 14.x dev is completely done for all devices, as opposed to just being done for one device and waiting for a new maintainer. All devices on the roster are now LOS 15 and LOS 16: https://github.com/LineageOS/hudson/blob/master/lineage-build-targets. So any future development would be along the lines of what [MENTION=9708417]Eric_Lev[/MENTION] is doing and if squid2 picks the device up again it would be for LOS 15 or 16 if anything. Just my guess.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] Eric_Lev:
FYI, all devices on the roster will be LOS 16.0 and LOS 17.1 in a couple days/weeks:

==> https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/hudson/+/267517

Therefore LOS 14.1 and 15.1 dev will be completely done for all devices...

Hai Eric, I'm currently on your latest los14.1.. But the thing is I ised to use different font modes on all roma even offcial los and other oreo and pie roms.. They all worked flawlessly.. But after switching to your builds, although all other type of modules seem to work, none of the font modules are working.. I tried AVfonts, other developer made font modules, none seem to work.. This was also an issue in your previous builds but I thought may be next build fixes it.. But the issue seems to persist.. Can U please check it out? Magisk version is 20.3 and and the fonts work with this version on other roms no matter the android version, except for custom Q builds.. But I think thats because so much of font choice are built in for them but los14.1 doesn't..

I have Lineage 17.1 after installing marshmallow stock rom (marshmallow firmware is requirement for 17.1) on XT1550 2GB. But marshmallow firmware has caller echo issue. (the other caller can hear their own voice, regardless of any network). Lollipop firmware does not have this echo problem. (this echo problem is not present in stock lollipop ROM).

Does this build of Lineage OS 14.1 require marshmallow firmware or lollipop firmware?

(if it works directly on lollipop firmware, it would be great! :fingers-crossed:)

I have tried to install the last two updates, lineage-14.1-20210829 and lineage-14.1-20210818, but I get this error message:

Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

Error installing zip file '/external_sd/lineage-14.1-20210829-UNOFFICIAL-osprey.zip'

I had been updating the rom without any problem until now.

Should I do a clean install? or does anyone know how to fix it?

----------------------------------

UPDATE:

Let me tell you about my recent experience with this device.

I thought that I couldn't update the rom because my version of TWRP was so out of date. So I decided to install the latest version (twrp-3.5.2_9-0) and I was able to update the rom but it got me a lot of bugs.

So I decided to do a clean installation but still had a lot of bugs. So I installed previous versions of the rom, including the first one I installed, but it still had a lot of bugs (basically forced close in many processes).

So I decided to go back to the TWRP I had before (twrp-3.4.0-0) and the bugs disappeared and I was able to use the rom without problems, but no matter what I do I cannot get youtube working.

The gapps that I have been installed are open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-xxxxxxxx and I have done all the possible combinations: old gapps with the most recent rom (lineage-14.1-20210829-UNOFFICIAL-osprey), the most recent gapps with the oldest rom I have (lineage-14.1-20201221-UNOFFICIAL-osprey), the oldest rom I have with old gapps and the most recent rom with the most recent gapps, but youtube still doesn't work

As I said before, it doesn't matter what combination I do, nor what version of YouTube I have installed, the application closes. As a possible solution I have deleted chache and data of youtube but the problem continues. The funny thing is that all the applications that I have, including other google apps (chrome, gmail, maps) work without problem.

So once again, does anyone know how to fix the problem? Honestly, although they are better alternatives, I don't want to use YT Vanced or NewPipe and I don't know what else to do.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] azul12:
Thanks for your suggestions @FNetV1 , I used this weekend for testing and long story short I can already use youtube but I have no idea how it was fixed.

But I will tell you about everything I did in case someone in the future is going through a similar situation to mine.

I followed FNetV1's indication and downgraded my TWRP version to 3.0.2-r5, then I installed the oldest rom I have (lineage-14.1-20201221) with the oldest gapps I have (open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20210112) but youtube was not working.

So with that same version of TWRP I installed the most recent rom available (lineage-14.1-20210829) with the most recent gapps and still youtube did not work.

So I installed the latest unofficial version that Squid2 developed for this device (twrp-osprey-3.2.3-r1) and then installed the oldest rom I have with the oldest gapps I have. The result was the same, youtube was not working.

I thought the problem was the gapps, so I installed the latest rom available with the most recent gapps but now with the Nano package. But the result was the same, youtube was not working.

So I gave up and for the last time I reinstalled the latest rom avaible with the most recent gapps, again with the pico package and as expected youtube was not working.

The funny thing is after I finished setting up my phone, I restarted it, reinstalled YouTube and voilà, I can now use YouTube without any problem.

As I said at the beginning, I have no idea how the problem was fixed, especially because I also rebooted my phone on several occasions with the previous tests.

So if anyone has an idea what I did wrong from the beginning or how the problem was fixed, feel free to comment.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] smiffyma:
thanks for your builds eric ...

just a quick question ....

if installing your latest build on a phone that has one of your earlier builds does it still require a clean flash (Format Data + Full wipe), download of latests gapps etc

thanks

[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] damianx5:
That wouldnt be the case since the sim and carrier are the same since i got the phone. Plus it wouldnt explain how my battery would drain out from 30-35% over night. In general it would still take 5-6 hours for my battery to drain by 20-25% when my phone is permanently searching for signal while travelling.
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] Gravemind2015:
I was talking about the signal quality mate, sometimes signal disturbances occur, the phone's definitely showing it (orange bar indicates poor signal, it should be green for a good signal). It could also be a graphics glitch, I only assumed it from your screenshot.

I am attaching mine here-

. I was out of city for a while (the red area).

BTW, you said the battery got down from 30% --> 0% over 6-7 hours. And you (and me too, I agree!) estimate a 20-25% drop over 5-6 hours. Didn't you answer yourself? :D

Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
[Moto G 2015 Original Android Development] damianx5:
The 20-25% signal drop thing i mentioned is when the red area in your screenshot is more than 40% of my battery use.. :P

Right now it is less than 10%, thats still a massive drop in baterry use. Im going to revert to stock for a week to see if it is any different.
