Official LineageOS has an integrated root manager accessible under developer options. Works well and is largely transparent. Also note the integrated privacy tool which can be helpful tracking down and containing permission abuses.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
Yeah, you have to flash the su add-on, then the integrated manager takes over, if you don't flash it then the option for application access to root is not available
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Sorry - was multitasking and read "SuperSU". Yep, Lineage SU addon is clearly needed (as stated in OP) unless build developer/maintainer chooses to bake it in.

I will say no custom ROM is stable like Stock ROM for any device. But, its pretty stable & I'm using this for a month. So far no problem or network issues rather battery backup improved about an hour & RAM Management also better than stock though stocks RAM Management & battery backup is also good.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oronno Chy:
I've downloaded stock firmware for XT-1607 several months ago but I forgot the link or that website address.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oronno Chy:
1)I've installed Lineage su addon & now I wanna switch to Chainfire's Supersu. Do I need to uninstall Lineage su addon by installing "Lineage addonsu_remove.zip" before flashing supersu.zip or can install over Lineage addonsu?

2)If I download the update using OTA, in which directory the update.zip file will be stored temporarily & can I use that file later for TWRP installation?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
so, any chance to get the moto active display thingy working? any suggestions? (since I've been hating the AcDisplay app)
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manasn:
Aww I feel you man. I just recently started using moto display on my rooted stock. And, Man. That feature is godly convenient. I mean I like the textured physical lock key but having your phone light up when it is picked? Sounds like a little perk but it goes a long way in daily usage. This thing is holding me from flashing LineageOS. Thanks to all devs and supporters for their continued support for our device, keeping my fingers crossed!
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
DUDE, having NOT TO PRESS THE LOCK BUTTON EVERYTIME I PICK THE PHONE IS A GODSEND! having been using it for about 10 months, I really got used to it! that feature alone offsets all the percieved benefits I get from the rom (and they are a LOT)... but I regret nothing! >:V

I'm now in the quest for finding the perfect replacement... but so far AcDisplay works the best
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Give Gravity Screen (available in the Play Store) a whirl. It does not provide all the functionality of Moto's Active Screen but may provide some relief. I used it for awhile on an older Moto that had difficulty waking the screen after a phone call.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] XJeFX:
Hello, why LineageOS doesn't ask you wich connection to internet you prefer before trying to recover any google backup in the first boot? Is there any way I can choose WiFi connection instead of 3G when lineageOs is configuring the phone? because I don't have a data plan and the only way to bypass it is to set it as a new phone but that means I lose the opportunity to recover all my configurations saved on google (wifi passwords, apps configs, etc) wich i don't want to.

Any work around? thanks.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jadephyre:
Connect it to Wi-Fi in the setup-wizard, if connected it should download all your data over that connection.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] XJeFX:
It doesn't ask me to connect to wifi, It turns on data automatically and wants to log in to my account and recover my backups through 3g... if i refuse I can only set it as a new phone but then i lost the opportunity to recover my backup.

NOTE: Status bar isn't enabled while on setup wizard so i can't turn on wifi and connect neither.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jadephyre:
Did you install Gapps? I never heard about this error but with Gapps flashed it should alao install the Google installer which asks for Wi-Fi.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] XJeFX:
I use opengapps pico for android 7.1 ... wich one should i use?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jadephyre:
I used the AROMA variant of those Gapps, it lets you choose which Gapps to install.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] XJeFX:
Well... if this is an issue from pico gapps, I don't know wich version of gapps has the "allow wifi in setup wizard" thing... if anyone has idea about it, I'll appreciate it.

Anyway i think this is handled by lineageos and not from gapps, so it's a bug in lineageos.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jadephyre:
Maybe, but I use Lineage as well and I was able to set up Wi-Fi without a hitch :rolleyes:
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
Yeah, happened to me as well, but can't you skip the config and set that stuff later?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] XJeFX:
so far I couldn't skip it, only to login google with data network or configure it as a new phone, that's all the options I get everytime I do a fresh install... as I don't have a data plan (it fails to login obviously, then the only option available is to "try again") I have to set it as a new phone every time and configure it all again. weird. :mad:
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
oooh the troubles I had when flashing custom roms before the data plan... Have you tried not flashing the gapps, initializing the phone and then flashing the gapps?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Theeboon:
That's funny, I always have to set up my WiFi on first boot to download updates etc.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jadephyre:
Doing it this way is likely going to lead to bootloops and apps constantly stopping. There are reasons why you flash Gapps directly after the ROM before booting the system for the first time...
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Yep - CM/LOS based ROMs are especially fussy about this. Be prepared for a rough ride if (core) GAaps are added after the initial boot.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oronno Chy:
I'm missing the moto display but using volume buttons to wake up on Lineage.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

U r using the right one(Pico) is recommended. So, u needn't look for something else. I also use Open Gapps pico & it asks for wifi & google ac setup.

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

Try with empty sim slot & put ur sim after setting everything.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Without diving into technical detail the choice of GAaps package is personal. Obviously size of system partition can be an issue on some devices; not on the G4P which is generously apportioned at 2.5 GB. I happen to use Nano on most devices as it contains core components that can not be obtained separately while still retaining relatively compact. Everything else can be added later via Play Store - although those adds will be installed in user vs system space by default.

Lineage (vs GAaps) handles startup connectivity choices; appears to be a bug in the build for this device.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] XJeFX:
Thanks for your reply! So... maybe I wasn't that wrong after all, I'm not new to android and custom roms (been doing it since android 2.1 for Galaxy Spica LOL) and as far as I remember setup wizard always asked me wich connection to use before trying to login. How can I report it to lineageOS team?

I've the XT1601 variant just in case if anyone is wondering.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
Uhh latam as well.

What about the aroma installer? Maybe picking the essential components and leaving the SIM out works.

And I remember doing the gapps after the first init in my old nanhu. It was rough.

So, is it there an official channel for bug reporting or is it just this thread?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] blechschere:
I installed it yesterday and it seems to be very nice.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oronno Chy:
Yeh, but when the apps will be updated then they will take space on internal (user) partition.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Redroik:
I have a problem.

When I unlock my phone and open WhatsApp, some times, I try to open a chat but the touch does not respond (like as frozen touch).

I found 2 solutions: lock and unlock or down and up the status bar.

Is it a bug of the rom?

PD: sorry for my english, I used google translate
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] maosilva:
The Ambient Display function (Moto Screen) is not working!
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
Not happening to me, so I don't think it's the rom's fault, maybe you're overloading the ram or some general weirdness with your hardware or selection of kernel.

The ambient display included in the rom only lights up the screen when a notification pops up, you can try AcDisplay or Gravity Screen that are are available in the appstore, they promise similar functionality as moto screen.

In my experience, separate apps are a nuisance and I've learned to live without that feature, but maybe they have something that rocks your boat...
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PiperD:
Hi everybody,

I'm considering installing this ROM on my mother's G4 Play - particularly in light of vulnerabilities like BlueBorne, and the fact that the stock Marshmallow build on her phone is frozen in time.

However - probably the most awesome thing she gets now on stock Marshmallow is 6 days of battery life. Battery life is critical as I don't want her to have to worry about charging her phone all that often, and even now she only puts it on the charger when the battery hits 15% - which itself is enough to last her for a typical day.

So, knowing that battery life experience is always subjective, is the general consensus that LOS14.1 is significantly worse, better, same, etc. as on stock? I will say that my wife's OPO is now getting amazing battery on LOS14.1 vs stock COS13 - but she's more tolerant when it comes to tech than my mother can be expected to be.

Thanks.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
With the arrival of 'doze' (and arguably even before) all custom ROMs are roughly equivalent w.r.t power efficiency unless the ROM was not properly prepared by the developer/maintainer or is tuned for 'high performance'. Aside from apps software items that influence battery use are largely housed in the kernel which generally remains the same.

I would not be overly concerned with Blueborne. Does your Mom regularly keep Bluetooth enabled in high risk puplic locations like airports, malls and coffee shops? If not there is not risk beyond the already low level that has been hugely overblown by the mainstream media.

If your mum is happy with stock leave it alone. An OTA to Nougat will arrive at some point.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PiperD:
She leaves it on all the time as she has Bluetooth in her car. The less she has to remember to do the better, so I don't tell her to manually turn it on/off.

It would still be constructive to know if G4 Play users that installed this particular ROM have noticed markedly different battery life vs. stock. I somehow doubt that an OTA Nougat upgrade is ever going to come to her phone.

¿When CM15?

Enviado desde mi Moto G Play mediante Tapatalk
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
When it is anounced. Might be two weeks, two months or longer. Watch for LineageOS 15 as CM (CyanogenMod) is no more.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nysascape:
Edited, if it shows at the top the previous edits sorry the formatting went wrong; I'm on mobile right now. There are unofficial builds of LOS15 here (bare in mind they're buggy): https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=212539&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
Yeah, the battery life on this Rom is freaking amazing, used to have day and a half on stock and light use, gives me about 2 days on moderate use, OTAs every week, tho I recommend flashing squids kernel for every update, since I've experienced some general weirdness on some updates.

Now, the only feature I really miss is the active display, so if that will give headaches to your mother then don't flash this one.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pusansen99:
Dude I used LOS 14.1 and got terrible battery life...
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
This is silly. Mainstream ROMs do not vary significantly in power consumption. How you configure and use the device has a far greater impact on battery life. Haven't met a ROM yet that can not achieve excellent battery life within the framework of the Android version upon which it is based. Original comment on this topic here.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pusansen99:
By just looking at the home screen I was loosing 1% every 3/4 mins.....:(
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ProudlyTM:
That can happen if you run your phone at full/very high brightness I think..
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Display is the #1 power consumer on nearly every mobile device. Simply dropping brightness 10-15% can half the juice consumed depending on panel characteristics (probably closer to 25% on the relatively low-res G4P). ROMs have different defaults for display intensity and responsiveness to the ambient light sensor. Bottom line: it's how the device is configured/used (including app suite) - not the ROM.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Subhrajyoti Sen:
To everyone wondering about LOS 15, you'll get unofficial builds soon. Just some major issues like in call audio, camera are being worked on. So a little more patience. Let's stop further LOS 15 queries here.

[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
So, just a few hours into the latest nightly and I get a bug: somehow the cellular signal degrades over a couple of hours, slowly reaching no signal. Quickly cycling the radio with the airplane mode fixes it, but only for a couple hours more, getting no signal again.

Edit: aaaand mobile data is unable to connect, idk if it's because of the carrier, but flashing squids kernel haven't helped with that, on the bright side, WiFi signals haven't been better xD

I am about to test the latest (9/19) build now. This didn't happen in the 9/12 build - Are you on the latest radio? I noticed on my phone I have "no signal" in some areas stock was fine, but it does 4G and calls/sms perfectly fine anyway.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] XJeFX:
12 hs since I flashed 09/19 build and have not problem at all with radio signal, it's going strenght as usual. I don't use any moded kernel. Try doing a clean flash.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
Aye, Checked that as well

True, I tried a clean flash of the 9/12 yesterday yo he sure. and the damn bugs i've experienced with it are gone. Damn OTA updates screw stuff, made me forget the old ways of the Android modders

Edit: Sure enough, a fresh flash fixed all the problems with the radios... Thanks for the assistance anyways
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sandix:

Is using Lineage Downloader ok, or is it recommended to download the full ROM and flash in Recovery?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lochNESSIE:
Yes. Clean flash is always recommended.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sandix:
I don't have that issue. Do you have an "battery saver" apps installed?

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

I mean - I don't clean flash updates. Never had issues. But of course if you have issues a clean flash will 9/10 times resolve the issue.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
I sort of had similar troubles, a clean flash fixed them, so prepare to backup everything. It's recommended to use titanium backup as it streamlines the process, always backup your files, but if you don't wipe the data partition you won't lose anything

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

Lucky bastard xD

But I theorize that flashing custom kernels messes up the updates, since I've stopped doing that my updates are stable as hell
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sandix:
I uh.... Also use a custom kernel lol. Still never had issues. Backing up and doing a clean flash is preferred but dirty flashing through the built in lineage updater and wiping dalvik/cachehas worked fine for me for 4 updates now.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DXTN1:
I maintain it: you lucky bastard. But that one of wiping the dalvik/cache, nice trick, I should try that one
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sandix:
In theory yes, HOWEVER - before updating ALWAYS DO A NAND BACKUP OF SYSTEM AND DATA.

You have been warned.

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

Don't forget to reflash the custom kernel because the updates include stock lineage boot.img.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NoobNeutralizer:
That doesn't answer my question...

Is the program Lineage Downloader safe to use?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] davypacheco:
Lineage downloader? Is that an app? Why don't update trough the update system built-in? Or download the ROM from the website
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Lots of semi-OT answers. :)

Given this is an official build it should be safe to use the integrated updater. Really depends on the quality of the update stream.

I have been burned enough times to hold back on auto-generated builds and only manually apply updates as needed and proven stable. Despite the fuss dirty flashes are almost always fine unless the nature of the build suggests otherwise.

Some earlier CM/Lineage builds required the use of a dedicated recovery; I believe that requirement has been relaxed. You'll need to check into that.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] XJeFX:
I've always updated roms via recovery, TIL people install updates in built in updates checker wich I don't even know how to do it, lol.

Last time I checked it only downloaded the lastest release and nothing else.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lochNESSIE:
Should be, given the ROM is an official one. Though you will see not too many people here instructing you to update through the app(never really used it so have no idea if it only downloads the file or actually updates it) it is always advisable to flash the updated builds through recovery, with a clean one.

Hope this answers your question now
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sandix:
The build in updater can flash it for you, through twrp. It also downloads updates as well.

At this point though with the problems you have, a dirty flash will never work. Just back, clean flash, and restore using titanium back as instructed in a previous post.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NoobNeutralizer:

Can anyone comment on the status of the last nightly (2017-09-26), please? Mostly interested on:

* Battery life

* Camera performance

* GPS

* Radio

* Bugs that may prevent daily usage

Edit: I'm using an XT1602, I don't know if there may be differences with other models.

Thanks a lot!
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lochNESSIE:
Battery - 4 - 4 1/2 hours SOT with daily normal usage

Camera - performs well in natural light. Not that good in indoor conditions

GPS - perfect

Radio- haven't used it

Bugs - none. Fit to be used as a daily driver

Note: I'm on 1602 too
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Arushidesu:
The battery is very good here, it has never really disappointed me. I do about 7 ~ 9 hours of screen. Intensive use in balanced profile.

I have not seen many improvements on the camera, it's working fine.

GPS is working perfectly.

I do not use a radio.

I have not noticed any apparent bugs so far, and the ROM is pretty smooth.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] .deb:
Great! I don't use the camera very frequently and with stock android it's exactly the same, it only works decently under good light conditions. Hardware is what it is, I'm happy if camera works.

Yep, I'm getting about 6-7h too in stock, so I guess that battery life is quite similar in both (as suggested in previous posts).

I'm gonna flash LOS tonight, I'll report if I find any issue.

Thanks guys! :D

Do you use Bluetooth? If you do please let us know if you run into this problem. I've been having an issue with paired BT devices disappearing from the list of paired devices after toggling BT off and on a few times. It's especially annoying when I have to re-pair the BT in my car when I'm about to go somewhere. It seems to happen less frequently lately since the recent BT security commits, but I have everything setup the way I like it on my phone and don't want to do a clean flash. This ROM also doesn't have the wake on unstow or wake on wave features if you are used to using those from the stock ROM.
