Thanks a lot for your work! looking forward to try Lineage since a long time (coming from CM11 on Xperia pro :p)

noob question... a lot of time I don't play with roms: does this flash the kernel as well? Or does it keep the stock kernel unless I flash a modded one? (if so, which one would you suggest for daily use?)

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 AM ----------

another question: any chance the hidden led will be supported for notifications?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ChaosClown:
Just flash the latest lineage build and gapps, you are good to go.

If u need more control over your mobile then flash whatever kernel you like, If I wanted I would pick squid kernel.

Where is squid kernel?

Each time I update to a new update each week. My Google applications get deleted please help?!
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fedcas:
I see, thanks for the kernel info ;)

As for the led, I meant if there is work in progress for using the led also for notifications, not just for battery. I've read something about this on facuarmo kernel's thread, but seems that even if its kernel supports this function there is the need for an app or a rom actually using it.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

I have the same issue, and i cant set the default location to save on SD card...
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Theeboon:
I don't know if I have the "moto camera" but in the default camera app on this ROM I can set it to SD card with no problems.

I loved the progress bar above the status bar (for downloads, installations or that kind of stuff) like in Gravity Box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9MeDVvUzQw

I was using it also on CM11, I can't remember if it was native or if I was actually running Gravity Box, anyway... is the progress bar available on Lineage? If it is, I can't find it :(
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
This feature is not native to AOSP, CM 11 or Lineage 13/14. Some ROMs do include as part of their feature set.

I also enable this via GravityBox which obviously is not available on Nougat. Note there are three Android 6 builds for this device which support Xposed including Lineage 13 which is remarkably similar to 14.1.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Yup, Stock deodexed, CM13 ( not upgraded to Lineage ), and MIUI
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fedcas:
uh, thanks! I may go that way for the moment, hoping xposed will be available also for Nougat.

Just to be clear: do you mean Lineage 13 or CM13? If you mean Lineage, where do I find it? I can just see the latest 14.1 releases here https://download.lineageos.org/harpia

also, no other way to decrease the navigation bar height, other than gravity box? I think the buttons eat up too much screen, especially with the keyboard open.

Do maybe AOKP or Resurrection Remix have more customizations of this kind for Nougat, compared to Lineage? One alternative to going back to Marshmallow could be a rom with more UI customization options.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aczlan:
Speaking of camera issues, has anyone had the flash disabled while in camera mode? It works in video camera mode, but not in photo mode.

If I install the Moto Camera, it works as expected, but in the built in Lineage camera, the flash button is greyed out.

I saw this when I upgraded from an early May build to the 6 Jun build and it persisted through a full reset and is still there after upgrading to the 22 Jun build.

This happens when activating HDR on the camera and should be normal. I have my camera set to Auto HDR, and the camera keeps it off.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aczlan:
That is odd, I don't think I ever turned HDR on, its in auto mode now and flash now works as expected.

Apologies - I'm active in several device forums and thought I was responding to a 3rd gen HDX (Apollo/Thor) post. TTBOMK no Marshmallow ROMs for Harpia other than stock which works quite well IMO (with Xposed for control/customization).

[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fedcas:
thank you both ;)

as for this, can you maybe help me?

I like the kind of customization that gravity box gives, I was thinking giving Resurrection remix and AOKP a try, but if they are not very different from lineage from thus point of view I will save time and just go for stock marshmallow or CM13 with xposed.

As far as I remember.No.I did not see NFC listed under settings.Didn't bother me since I have no use for it,but I couldn't stick with this ROM because of the deep sleep problem.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fedcas:
by the way: is there any way to have the ambient display like on the stock firmware (moto display)? showing up when you pick the phone from the pocket or tilt/pick it from a table? I really liked that function, and I don't think the impact on the battery was particularly relevant (I admit, I have never made tests though).
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rainerber:
Please have in mind that a few device (eg 1602) don't have a NFC device assembled.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DeathMD:
I second this, really liked that feature and I hope it will be integrated in a future release.

To the devs: Thank you for your work, I really appreciate it. I've used CM on my Moto G1 and now LineageOS on G4, it's really great.

I think Squid got it half-working in his custom kernel. Either him or someone else that used his source for one of their ROMs. If you searched the ROM section you'd find it

So in short yes, but it's not perfect yet
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:
Just figured I'd let everyone know, since people were having problems with this on certain Nougat based ROM builds: squid's custom kernel 100% works with this ROM. I'd honestly recommend using it if you have this ROM, it makes the UI noticeably smoother in my opinion.

I encountered an issue with loss of mobile after moving out of range from wifi. The mobile data connection did not active when the wifi signal was lost, and toggling airplane mode did not help. After rebooting the mobile data was working normally.

I also encountered the freeze on reboot issue that was reported in the surnia thread.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:
I've been experiencing an issue once again that I've dealt with on other ROMs, but recently I've made a discovery:

With other ROMs I've claimed that my device had random kernel panics or something, refusing to turn the screen on after turning it off, requiring me to hold down the power button to do a hard reset to start using my phone again.

I've discovered that it really isn't a problem with the kernel panicking or the OS locking up or anything. A few days ago my screen managed to actually turn itself on somehow during one of these "episodes", and pressing the power button to turn it off again did nothing: therefore it seems the OS is working fine, it just doesn't want to detect the power button being pressed on occasion, unless it's being held down for a hard reset. Just a few hours ago it happened again, I was stuck on an off-screen unable to turn the screen on again, but before I went through a hard reset I heard 2 or 3 notifications from Google Hangouts that I received new messages: meaning the OS as a whole was fine, just the code that dealt with the power button didn't want to function at that time.

Next time this happens I'll try to capture a logcat after hard resetting, or if I can while the problem is currently occurring. Just wanted to get this out there ahead of time though. I'd say how to replicate the issue but honestly I have no idea what causes it, I can't seem to draw any pattern between when it happens and what I'm doing at the time of occurrence. I'm running this Lineage build with squid's custom kernel, and I've enabled full disk encryption (not sure if the last part matters with this device, but I know with other devices I've had in the past FDE caused problems).

I remember having this problem sometimes with CM13 and really early CM14.1 builds, but not recently. I'll keep an eye out for it though.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] triggerlord:
I haven't had this happen to me in the longest time. (Never in like two years now.) I think that would be an issue with the squid kernel. I'm running the stock LOAD one.

I can confirm the same problem with the January 24, 2017 release. Very slow to pick up LTE after being on WiFi, or actually have to reboot. Just updated to Jan 31 release, will see if the problem persists.

Also using the latest TWRP so no idea what went wrong. That said, the download did fail on PC the first time (network error) but completed the second time. Maybe the server was acting up and it corrupted the zip?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] thanhvx:
I think 99% was the corrupted zip file.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mkollersms:
You know, while we're on the subject where exactly are these zips being saved? CM used to have a dedicated "cmupdater" folder but now that we're on lineage that directory probably changed.

While updating it still shows the cm updater dialog though
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:

I left AOKP now that Squid is going to develop this and AOKP was not cooperating with a few things. I am also hitting another bug. I was testing switching between a GSM SIM(TMo) and CDMA SIM (Verizon). Tmo was giving good connectivity with 4G but now Verizon will not go to LTE with any combination I have tried in Network Settings. It is stuck in 3G mode.

Is there a stock radio available that can be flashed independently of the ROM ? I wonder if that will at least get me 4G back on Verizon.

Overall, how LineageOS compares to stock ROM (on XT1601) as far as stability, battery drain, cellular signal reception and GPS?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PatC11:
Six months ago, I would have recommended the stock ROM, but LineageOS came quickly up to speed. Now I use LineageOS exclusively, and have no complaints. The one thing LineageOS does not have that the stock ROM does is the "wake on movement" feature, which was nice.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Also consider support for Xposed Framework (Android 6.x ROMs only) which pretty much negates the benefits of most custom ROMs as modules like Edge and GravityBox offer far deeper UI and system customization. Really depends if you like to roll your own or buy off the shelf.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
I like simplicity, stability, reliability, lower battery drain and good cellular signal reception. I also like control over Gapps, so Google will not suddenly update my system.

Does it sound like LineageOS?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Most of these items have little to do with which ROM is installed provided the maintainer has done their homework. LineageOS (Nougat build) is simply Android 7.1.2 with a little window dressing baked in. Certainly a good mainstream choice for those coming off stock Moto.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
The main reason I wanted to go "off stock Moto" is to have control over Gapps and not Google to have a full control over my device.

Other than that, I only need "stability and reliability" :)
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
A custom ROM will not accomplish that directly. You can choose which GAaps package to install with most ROMs which offers some limited control. However, Google Framework and Play Services are all but mandatory which are likely responsible for most of the behaviors you're concerned with. Micro-G is an alternative but it's not easy to implement and beyond the score of this thread. See: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/how-enhance-battery-duration-sgs-3-lte-t3478287

FlashFire + LineageOS on Harpia

Does FlashFire install and work with LineageOS on Harpia?

More generally, having TWRP for system backup (and occasional emergency restore or roll back) , will FlashFire do the job better? Other than being able to back internal storage.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
FlashFire backend doesn't operate at the ROM level. However, it does need to know, or be able to detect, the partition layout which is typically device (not ROM or kernel) dependent. Although I use both FF and TWRP in the manner you describe on other devices I have yet to try it on Harpia.

Open GApps package "micro" , "full", "aroma"

When adding Open GApps package variant, will "full" and "aroma" integrate and work smoothly with LineageOS?

Once a GApps package zip has been flashed with TWRP (along with LineageOS zip), what will be the right way to upgrade the GApps package (i.e., micro to full) or downgrade it (i.e., full to micro)?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
For Lineage outcomes are typically best if ROM & GAaps are flashed together prior to initial boot/setup. Unless the OP suggests differently I recommend dirty flashing Lineage (and most other ROMs) with each GAaps package change. Note most GAaps components are self maintaining once flashed/installed.

SD formatted as internal storage without encryption

I noticed that SD card formatted as "External Storage" (Fat32) gets corrupted relatively easy.

So I change formatted as "internal" (Ext4), will it be more resistant to corruption?

If SD card is formatted as internal, is it encrypted by default?

How can I disable encryption?

So that I will be able to read the SD card on other Linux-based devices.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:
For encryption it's best to format as internal storage so it's encrypted as well (or so it seems). Once you enable encryption the only way to disable it is to wipe your phone and factory reset it.

You can always plug in your phone to a PC through USB to read the contents of the SD card, you just have to have your phone on and decrypted before you can actually use it
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
But can I set SD storage as "internal" and WITHOUT encryption in the first place? I know it's not possible for stock Android 6/7.

Is it possible for LineageOS?

I do not want encryption, I just need SD card file system formatted as EXT4 ( instead of FAT32). I anticipate EXT4 will be more resilient to corruption. Can anyone confirm that?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:
Yes you can
