Thanks for your positive feedback.

Regarding hibernation app: Feel free to try it out and see, whether it helps or not.

I don't however see a big advantage:

Without root, the options of a regular user app are quite limited, and there are many defined triggers to activate an app's background activity.

With root on the other hand, it depends, what the app really does, and not all actions are really good for system stability. So I personally wouldn't recommend a root hibernation app.

In fact, the best you can do is to avoid using "hyperactive" apps and look for alternatives.

OTA updates will soon be offered via Updater app.

Regards, M.

EDIT: OTA updates are now offered, too
[Moto G Android Development] ChrisRM:
Hmm , no sign of any update 4 hours later....

Nope, nothing yet...
[Moto G Android Development] ChrisRM:
Ok downloaded and TWRPed it. Looks OK, Aurora still unhappy (won't log in), and wifi still running.
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
Need to still update the OTA stuff.

Reg. Aurora: I have often same issue, usually playing around with custom dispenser setting or logoff and logon again with anonymous account solves this
[Moto G Android Development] ChrisRM:
WiFi still flaky, still temporarily fixed by in and out of Aeroplane Mode. Aurora won't log in as 'Anonymous'; gets 'Logging in' message, followed by 'Successfully logged in', then back to the "Please login to continue' screen. Pretty much everything else works, even if it needs a quick burst of aeroplane mode to fix it.
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
Yes, the WiFi is a mystery - I tried reversing some kernel fixes in the WiFi are, no success. I really welcome any idea...

Regarding Aurora:

The new version 4, which is in development, is supposed to have a better dispenser handling and thus not this kind of issue. I'll include it in my build, once the beta phase is finished and I consider Aurora 4.x usable.

I often have or had similar issues, and what has helped me always is the following:

From the logon screen, go to settings, network and switch off the custom token dispenser. Go back and try logging on again. You may have to force close Aurora in between. Somehow, the default dispenser seems to be better to establish a new anonymous login, whilst the proposed custom dispenser works better, when the logon has already been established.

Purging Aurora app cache may also help.
[Moto G Android Development] Kin2co:
Hi! Thank you for your work, I'm running the "B" variant on my falcon 8GB for two months now and it's brilliant! I don't actually have any wifi issues reported here… or at least I haven't noticed them.

It turns out, two of my apps don't have maps working on the "B" variant. Do I need to do something special to move to the "A" variant with gapps, like wiping caches, etc.? Or are the variants compatible enough that I should just follow the standard
[Moto G Android Development] ChrisRM:
Wow! That was a major faff; eventually, i did all of those things and went in and out of Aurora more times than i'd like to think of, but still... it worked. Aurora 4 will be interesting. I lack any relevant skills to help with the wifi, I regret ....
[Moto G Android Development] XDAnewone:
Thanks for this ... will check.

So, under 'LineageOS Updates' found 353 MB, 8 March 2021 update, I just download & install 'from there itself', right?

Had to ask since I am not sure what 'OTA updates are now offered' means. Doesn't LineageOS usually get updated from native updater under phone status?
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
OTA = over the air, and yes, exactly that is meant, what you guess. So you don't have to flash manually via TWRP.
[Moto G Android Development] XDAnewone:
thank you
[Moto G Android Development] XDAnewone:
Also if I may ask,

- Since this is the security update; this would be dirty flash? [Install reboots to twrp, twrp does all the work & reboots to system].

- If one wants clean flash on this update, how would that be?
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
Correct, updates are "dirty-flashes", which however is 100% OK, as it is the same build, just with updated components. "Dirty-flashes" of different builds however are problematic, depends on similarities and signatures.

And yes, as described, reboots to twrp, twrp flashes the update, reboot again. If your device is encrypted, make sure to enter the decrypt password, when twrp appears.

Clean flash would work as described in the OP, if you treat the update like it was a different ROM (you perform a "factory reset" in TWRP)

Not necessary for an update, but if you are keen to do so, it's your device, so also your rules :)
[Moto G Android Development] XDAnewone:
Thanks.

I believe factory reset would be 'after' ROM flashing? :)
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
For a clean flash, you usually do it

before

flashing the new ROM - but in fact, it does not really matter in most cases (as long as you don't boot after flashing and before the factory reset). But I repeat it: This is not necessary for the update, why would you like to erase all your data and installed apps?
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
Hi,

you should not simply "dirty-flash", please check the OP of the below thread (section "switching between build flavors"), where I have described the approach (replace "Yalpstore" with "AuroraStore"):

https://xdaforums.com/t/eol-rom-uno...lineageos-15-1-for-xperia-z1-compact.3884247/
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
Regarding Aurora:

As v3 has become a nightmare meanwhile, I will include the nightly in my next build.

You can manually download from here: https://auroraoss.com/AuroraStore/Nightly/

It'll install next to the shipped Aurora and you need to allow "unknown sources" for now - but it WORKS at least...!
[Moto G Android Development] phpbb3:
Just popping in to remind that ROM still working great here! Thanks @MSe1969 !
[Moto G Android Development] Facciolognorri:
My variant a with pico gapps is working great. Wifi anche google mpas work great, even better than my old lollipop stock version. Thanks once again for the March update. I would like to ask you : is there an apps or a plugin to save the passwords using the default browser of your release of lineage os 14.1?
[Moto G Android Development] XDAnewone:
Got it, thanks.

I do not necessarily want to clean flash for 'update', just wanted to know...thanks again.
[Moto G Android Development] eWich:
Hello, I'm Stuck at 'Checking for updates... This may take a minute or two' I waited for about 30 min.

Fixed that finally
[Moto G Android Development] ChrisRM:
This is perhaps a coincidence but ever since Aurora updated itself four days ago to 4.0.1, wifi behaviour on my Falcon has been what it should be. Anyone else with wifi issues see this?
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
Interesting... I'll definitely observer and feedback. Feedback from others are welcome. BTW, newest Aurora version will be included in next build
[Moto G Android Development] Tiki Thorsen:
@MSe1969

Any chance you can give me a recomendation for a Substratrum theme for a good dark mode?
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
I personally use https://github.com/SpiritCroc/DefaultDarkTheme-oms from F-Droid on one of my falcon devices.
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
I still seem to have that issue, also after upgrading AuroraStore ...
[Moto G Android Development] ChrisRM:
I hate to agree but it's still a problem. When it stays alive, it stays alive for (sometimes) quite a lot longer, and then turns off. Sorry for the enthusiasm...

Although i won't display my lack of knowledge by commenting on how long it took me to find the wrongly-downloaded original and remove it... once an incorrect .img is downloaded, there's no obvious way to replace it without burrowing into the file-system.
[Moto G Android Development] zagzag99:
Thanks for the update.

But with variant A on full wipe I don't get WiFi to turn on.

:-(

I tired also March release. Still no wifi.

I'm doing clean install from 17.1 ROM.

Maybe someone have experience like this where WiFi won't turn-on in this ROM?
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
Please read the OP, this is a known issue, if you come from Android 10 (aka LineageOS 17.1). Not clear why, but when you flash the specific LineageOS 17.1 ROM, a needed firmware file on the /persist partition is purged. The OP shows a link with the solution for that.
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
Very true, indeed.
[Moto G Android Development] zagzag99:
Thanks for the reply.

I tried , but without success.

Copied the bin file to /persist and still no wifi

[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
Did you reboot the phone after pushing the file?

Edit: If all works after reboot, change the perms to 644
[Moto G Android Development] zagzag99:
I tried rebooting.

I tried different permission and system ownership but still no WiFi

I read I might need to type my Mac address into the bin file.

Is that a text file?
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
No idea then; when this issue was reported last time in this thread, the linked solution has perfectly worked. That's all I can say.
[Moto G Android Development] zagzag99:
Nevermind, I got a working solution from here: https://xdaforums.com/t/tutorial-fix-wi-fi-cant-on-problem-without-pc.3389538/

I used option 2, manually copied files.

The main thing that got it to work was to copy files via twrp file manager to /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima

From the system.ext4.bin provided in that forum.

Happy to be a user of this 14.1 ROM.

Thanks for the dev @MSe1969 efforts in keeping this updated.

It's been a while since I last came here.

I just wanted to sincerely thank you for your work, keeping good ol' XT1032 alive.

I still use mine, mostly to toy around, or listen to music.

(I really regret that the screen replacement is kinda finicky, and that the battery plummets to zero when it hits between 45 and 30%... Because I'm certain it would still be my daily driver)

I would like to know if it's possible to backport the VPN killswitch feature from... Whatever Android introduced it (10?)

Also, it is a pet peeve, but the lock screen and some (all?) AOSP apps display only on 0 degree portrait mode if I have the phone rotation locked on 180 degree portait mode (upside down). If the rotation unlocked and I hold the phone upsidedown it all displays correctly.

I like having it like this while charging, mostly.

But it's no big deal, either of these things. You've already - and still do - so much. Thank you, sincerely.
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
Thanks for the positive feedback.

The VPN Always-on feature is already available since Android 7.0, hence included also in this ROM (Android 7.1). So already with this ROM, you can check this option within your VPN client. Or do you mean something different?

I am not sure, that I got your point - could you please explain further? Nevertheless, I am afraid, that I won't be able to change the standard behavior of the "Trebuchet" launcher . . .

A new thing is coming from Google in the Passes API (https://www.theregister.com/2021/07/02/google_android_vaccine_passport/); is this something that your ROM will be able to support?
[Moto G Android Development] ChrisRM:
Oops...
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
I can't say, yet - the way, I have understood it, Google will extend their "Passes" API, which is also used by the Google Pay app (but not part of it). To me, that seems to be a functionality of the core Google Spy services.

This means: For people using build variant A and flashing Gapps, it will be available, whenever G* decides to roll it out.

For people using build variant B, it will only be available, if the devs behind microG find the time, energy and willingness to reverse engineer that functionality - similar to what they did with the Exposure Notification API for contact tracing apps. I hope so accordingly...
[Moto G Android Development] ArchaicDroid:
Hi, just adding my thanks to @MSe1969 for continuing to support this old device. Saved me from being stranded on the last official LineageOS14+microG release, and was my daily driver until April (I've since inherited a Moto G4!)

FWIW I was using the B variant, and had no issues with WiFi, encryption also worked (I was on TWRP 3.1.1 I think), and it worked fine for basic use (Signal/Whatsapp, email, etc), though understandly slowly given how old the MotoG is.

Hello,

Checked device after a week or so - Was at zero battery - Charged & switched on - Faced bootloop - Entered recovery, did factory reset & everything - bootloop again - Since the Feb 2021 ROM (lineage-14.1-20210206-UNOFFICIAL-mG-oms-falcon) file was already on device flashed (via recommended recovery) - bootloop - Came here & found latest ROM file - Flashed that - Working just fine now.

Not sure what was wrong, but just could not get pout of bootloop till I flased latest.

Just FYI please @MSe1969

Thanks for everything.

ROM is fine. I arranged WiFi by restoring a backup from other 7.1 ROM.

Now I have accomplished one thing I wanted... I have transformed my Moto G in a offline GPS navigator (because I don't use SIM inside)

With your "A ROM" and without gapps or other account I have installed Sigyc navigator and runs quite well (not fine on other ROMs) and I have enough space for offline maps.

Now, when I start my phone, Sigyc autostarts and I can begin driving wherever I want.

Now a new use for Moto G is possible and good for planet because we recicle.

All this benefits are possible because of your work.

Thanks again dear developers!

[Moto G Android Development] jajk:
In case this happens to anyone else.

I updated to July version by dirty flashing as I have always done in the past without problem. This time, it didn't boot - stuck on boot animation.

Decided to clean flash.... same thing happened. Thought about the steps I took..... format data, flash ROM, flash SuperSU..... stuck at boot animation. Tried again without SuperSU and it boots! Flash SuperSU and it stops working. Flash Magisk v 2.3 and it boots and root is established.

So it looks like there is something in the security updates that finally kills off the old supersu.

[Moto G Android Development] Bludwurst:
Sorry, sorry.

I meant the "block non-VPN connections" option; if you get disconnected from the VPN, it is as if you aren't connected to the internet.

And what I meant regarding screen rotation ...

That when you enable 180 portrait rotation (you hold your phone upsidedown) and lock the rotation many elements such as the lock screen don't keep the orientation; it's annoying.

Of course, that's all that it is, an annoyance. If it's impossible or difficult feel free to ignore.
[Moto G Android Development] Bludwurst:
Sorry for the duplicate post.
[Moto G Android Development] giofrida:
I hope you don't mind if I ask here. I come from a previous custom ROM and followed path B, and now I'm having issues with specific apps like GMaps, crashing after a few seconds. I also tried installing Uber, which is another app that relies on the location services, and it behaves similarly to GMaps. Is it possible that UnifiedNlp isn't working properly, or could it be something else?
[Moto G Android Development] zagzag99:
Sounds like if you go without Google services you should be using non-google apps (GMap) and as far as I know, Uber is using Google's MAP api. So it will have similar issues.

Try openMaps or sygic nav or other GMap alternatives to confirm the location services is operational.
[Moto G Android Development] MSe1969:
In addition to @zagzag99 's answer, to which I 100% agree: Did you properly configure Unified NLP? You need to activate the location provider(s) first - this is a manual one-time activity after flashing the ROM...
