Is this right way to downgrade to nougat:

1. Unlock bootloader with Oreo

2. Install TWRP 64bit

3. Backup EFS

3. I download the nougat stock from https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81846659&postcount=1300

4. REboot

Is the TWRP for Oreo is 32 or 64 bit?

Many thanks

FIRST:

to backup efs AND persist:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81266501&postcount=36

SECOND:

downgrade only modem & dsp from stock nougat:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80215223&postcount=1255

THIRD:

flash lineage-14 and format data on twrp (this will wipe internal storage!!! ), because stock data partition is encrypted

twrp ---> wipe ---> format data

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uj7yjhffaekkr0s/lineage-14.1-20200328-UNOFFICIAL-cedric.zip?dl=0

This build has been compiled after applying the pending patches from https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:%22n-asb-2020-03%22+(status:open+OR+status:merged) by using the command repopick.py -t n-asb-2020-03

It's been installed on my device which is back up and running. Updating apps from f-droid, checking for mail and surfing the web all work. Sending and receiving of SMS works, too, but more phone functions are yet to be tested.

Due to space limitations, builds older than November 15th, 2019 are no longer stored in my dropbox.

As always, use at your own risk!

There have been changes to the code, but as they are relevant for NFC only (which the G5 doesn't have) I won't compile a new build for now.

Good ROM!

Nice work, thanks!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
When installing Substratum Theme Manager it gives me a warning that is on LEGACY LAYERS and my theme "Swift Dark" does not install/display correctly (as it did on Lineage 16 Pie).

Any fix for this? Thanks in advance.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ektus:
I don't think so, other than installing an older version of the Theme Manager. This is a Nougat ROM, two major versions older than Pie.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Afaik the Theme could be the problem too.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
I tried the "Default dark theme" and at least that works fine. Most third party Apps now have a dark mode in any case, I wanted it for the stock Nougat.

The MicroG project looks very promising but it seems to be dead and also using F-Droid is not real replacement for the PlayStore.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
It is not dead and you can use Auora Store. Beware that enough apps will crash with it, quote: "this project is not ready for daily usage and is in alpha stage." Tbh I used it for a while and was very satisfied until a Play Store Update (you can use the real one) "destroyed" the purchase verification
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] icantlogin:
Yes, don't install Gapps. I've lived without Gapps (nor MicroG) for years now. I use F-droid and Aurora Store to get apps. Some popular apps that work fine without Gapps: WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, LINE, Google Maps, Here WeGo, Maps.me... but maybe it depends on your use case, I use my phone primarily offline and don't allow apps to run in the background, so I wouldn't know if e.g. push notifications work (but I believe they do for WhatsApp and Signal at least). I say: just try it for a week or so, you can always install Gapps later.

Then flash to my device, and upload to dropbox. That's all.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
After flashing this update via TWRP (as I have done with all previous updates without issues) it got stuck on a bootloop. :(

UPDATE: I was an issue with the Substratum theme "Default Dark", flashing the Substratum Rescue Legacy.zip solved it.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ektus:
Should I note it's incompatible with said theme in future builds? I don't use themes, so can't test that myself. Other than that, it's been running on my device without issues for three days now.

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] xdausr123:
i've run into 2 issues.

first is after installing gapps i would have a random reboot about once a day (always when the device screen is off/idle) that would then be stuck at the lineage boot logo animation requiring me to hard reset. i ended up experiencing the dialer freezing the system ui once after a call and after removing the gapps dialer app and replacing it with the version at https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218 the random reboots have stopped.

second issue is battery drain. unplugged overnight idle drops about 20% in about 10 hours. disabling wifi and mobile data cuts the drain to about 8% but it still seems higher than i remember.

regards,
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
Gapps required for this rom are

Open gapps

Android 7.1 arm nano

Do not install gapps version higher than nano as it will replace system apps & may cause issues
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ektus:
I've usually got WiFi disabled. Mobile data can stay on, but I've got the impression that with WiFi on, more apps are using data more often, thus using more energy.

Hi,

thanks for this amazing rom!

I had it installed on my Moto G5, and wanted to update it with the latest build, but something went wrong.

TL;DR; issue solved itself by restarting TWRP

Somehow i get an Error 7 when trying to flash the latest zip (lineage-14.1-20201106-UNOFFICIAL-cedric.zip) from TWRP.

I checked the md5sum, the zipfile is fine. Also I wiped data/cache/etc pretty much everything except the external sdcard, where i keep the zipfile on.

I also tried to sideload the zip with adb, but it fails with the same issue.

I somehow can't figure out where the TWRP logfile is located, but I'll just try typing it out.

The log is similar, when I try to flash from TWRP directly, but anyways this is it:

Starting ADB sideload feature...

Installing zip file '/sideload/package.zip'

Verifying zip signature...

Zip signature verified successfully.

Unmounting system...

Targe: motorola/lineage_cedric/cedric:7.1.2/NJH47F/f285ef918:userdebug/test-keys

detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system

PAtching system image unconditionally...

E1001: Failed to update system image.

Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

What could that be?

the phone is model XT1676 type M2675 (removed battery and checked the sticker)

that should be correct, or not?

[SOLVED] just restarted TWRP ( actually only because i removed the battery to check the model number, haha) and it worked!
