Unfortunately no updates for ArrowOS 12. So I have installed lineage-18.1-20220410-UNOFFICIAL-potter_security-patch-date_2022-04-05.zip and also added FlameGApps-11.0-full-arm64-20220412.zip This seems to be working. At this moment it's importing my existing google account (contacts, calandar and apps). After this I will start, configure and test all apps I am using. If that's working I will put a status update here.

I have imported my existing google account (contacts, calandar and apps). And I have inserted my simcard. I have checked everything, it's working fine.

Unfortunately, gothic's builds don't seem to support encryption. I found another Lineage build for Potter but have yet to try it: https://sourceforge.net/projects/motog5pluslineageos-unofficial/
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Thundahawk:
I've been experiencing unstable connection like other people described; crDroid 7.15 (Android 11) many slowdowns. Tried flashing back to Linegage 17.1(Android 10) by Gothick, it wouldn't boot.

Then when I was about to decide to go back to crDroid 7.15 (Android 11) I found your link Lineage18.1 unofficial (Android 11) and decided to give it a try since I was in the process of flashing anyway. Combined it with Mindthegapps+Magisk.

I'm quite amazed; it works really well, stable, fast, no slowdowns, stable internet. No setup issues, incredible. It would be nice if we get to know this developer, we want this build!!! (It misses some customization options though, but the base is way stable). I'd seriously recommended trying this.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Yes I have tried it too, and all seems to work fine. The only thing I had, was sometimes when I did receive a call, I could not hear the caller, they could only hear me, but when calling back it all went fine. This might be some other problem, but calling for me is important. So I am using CrDroid now, which works best for me. No problems calling or internet. I have disabled the build in calling/sms CrDroid, am using those from opengapps-nano. There was a non-stable ArrowOS Android 12 version, which has been deleted some time ago. Let's hope a fully working version will come soon.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] okayk:
I ought to try it then. I'm waiting on a May build to see if it's a one-shot build or not.

As for the link, I found it on telegram: https://t.me/potterofficial
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
I did try lineage-18.1-20220410-UNOFFICIAL-potter_security-patch-date_2022-04-05.zip on my second Moto G5 Plus, that gives a warning message "this build is signed with public keys". Does this also happen when installing lineageos-18.1-20220414-UNOFFICIAL-potter.zip?

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TadMSTR:
Thanks for the link. Finally upgraded my mother's phone (has a Pixel 5a now) and I wanted to setup the G5 Plus for a nephew or niece to use. This appears to be working well with MindTheGapps.

Had to disable encryption for any Android 11 ROM to not bootloop. For some reason the format data from TWRP didn't work the first few times.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
@TadMSTR let me know if you don't get the storage space issue where it says there isn't storage when trying to install apps from the play store. Myself and at least one other guy have run into this on fresh installs with 23 GB free. adroitfalcon told me he hasn't had this issue, and I'm not sure what the cause is, as I formatted data -- but without a solution to this, I went back to crdroid.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TadMSTR:
I just installed YASNAC from the Play Store just fine. So guess I don't have that issue you mentioned.

Can confirm that non-rooted this LineageOS build passes SafetyNet if anyone was wondering.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GivFNZ:
Nice rom, but installing apks and adb through usb cable don't work. Should I send logcats?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aIeck:
Just installed this alongside OpenGapps (arm64, nano) and it's working fine so far (will update if I run into problems). No issues installing things from Google Play Store. adb over USB and sideloading apks work for me.

Like @TadMSTR I did have to remove encryption by formatting data in TWRP recovery; otherwise it boot loops. I backed up my files beforehand.

Problema con el audio.

Hola a todos, estoy probando la ROM Linageos 18.1 potter en mi Moto G5 plus xt1685 y tengo un problema con el audio. El audio sin utilizar audio fx se escucha bastante saturado y con mala calidad. La única solución que he encontrado hasta ahora es arreglarlo un poco con la app Audio fx. Alguna solución? Todo lo demás parece funcionar bastante bien. Espero ayuda, gracias

Audio problem.

Hello everyone, I am testing Linageos 18.1 potter ROM on my Moto G5 plus xt1685 and I have a problem with audio. Audio without using audio fx sounds quite saturated and with poor quality. The only solution I have found so far is to fix it a bit with the Audio fx app. Any solution? Everything else seems to work pretty well. I hope help, thanks
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Yes, volume was by default too high, so the sound was distorted. You can fix that by lowering the volume sliders in configuration.

Do the latest builds from @gothicVI contain just security updates or do they also have the latest LineageOS 18.1 changes/updates?

I know LOS Android 11 isn't developed anymore now but I'm on Jan-2021 build.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gothicVI:
Only security patches - no backports of features.

Probably no further security patches will be backported though.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ismarub:
Hello everyone. I have a moto g5 plus that I had stored in a closet. I was using the stock 8.1, but I decided to tinker and put something newer in it. The fingerprint sensor is giving me problems. I have tried several roms and it does not work as standard. I can unlock the phone, but not lock it. Stock, works both ways. With custom rom it only works to unlock. To lock you have to use the power button. I have looked at options and on the internet. But I can't find anything similar.

The one I have on now is lineageos 18.1. But I have tried 17.1 and a pixel experience 11.0. The same thing happens in all of them.

I don't know if it's something that Lenovo put as standard with its moto action apps or if it's just that with the custom rom it only works with the lock button. Any suggestions?

edit: I forgot. From the sensor configuration screen, if you see that it detects it. But then in the app launcher, it doesn't turn off the screen.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Same thing here. It's no issue for me. Most of the time, I let it lock itself, by not touching it for a minute. As far as I know it's the same with other rom's like CrDroid, Arrow and Pixel Exprience.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] vik1ng_w0w:
Unrelated to your problem, but isn't LOS 19.1 Android 12.1?

I have searched and never found Android 12.1 ROMs for Moto G5 Plus, so could you link it to me?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ismarub:
Sorry. I´m on 18.1
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
@gothicVI: I'm hoping on at least one more update. I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy a new smartphone (Motorola Moto G84 5G) during Black Friday (November 24). But if you don't, thanks anyway for your builds!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
So, I decided a few weeks ago to just leave the most recent crdroid on mine, with GmsIntentOperationService disabled, and repurposed it as a security cam, lol. (And bought a Pixel.) :) I still might be interested in removing the spoofing from mine, just as an academic exercise, but I haven't had a chance to read through those latest posts about that. I'm going to unsubscribe from this thread but still stay in the others.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
@gothicVI: Thanks for updating it again. For me this will probably be the last one I'm using. I was the first one to download it:

Any tips on the best practices when switching from one OS to another? (ie, should I return to Oreo as an inbetween step?)

I'm running Pixel Experience & phone is getting a little glitchy, so I'd like to do a clean install of LineageOS 18.1. I'm backing up all my data now; can I just factory reset, use TWRP to wipe any leftover junk, then flash the new lineage ROM?

thanks!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
I always use the same method, have switched to many different Android 11 rom's that way.

First make sure you have copied lineage-18.1-20231010-UNOFFICIAL-potter_security-patch-date_2023-10-06.zip

and MindTheGapps-11.0.0-arm64-20220217_100228.zip to your smartphone.

Turn off smartphone, press and holf 2 buttons at the same time: "Volume Down" and "Power".

Wait until Fastboot flash mode on smartphone.

Select "RECOVERY MODE" by pressing Volume Up or Down, press Power button.

You are in mainmenu of TWRP.

If smartphone goes into sleep mode, just press Power button and Swipe to unlock.

Click Wipe, Advanced Wipe, selecteer Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Cache.

Click Swipe to Wipe.

Go back 3 times (<) (you are in mainmenu again).

Click Install, Click lineage-18.1-20231010-UNOFFICIAL-potter_security-patch-date_2023-10-06.zip.

Click Add more zips, click MindTheGapps-11.0.0-arm64-20220217_100228.zip

Swipe to confirm Flash.

If smartphone goes into sleep mode, just press Power button and Swipe to unlock.

Click Wipe Cache/Dalvik, Swipe to Wipe.

Go back 3 times (<) (you are in mainmenu again).

Click Wipe, Format Data. Tik yes, Click blue button.

Click Reboot System.

By the way, I see there is finally a new official version of MindTheGapps.

Download MindTheGapps: Custom Google Apps Package for Android

Looking for a reliable source to download the MindTheGapps package for your Android device? Look no further! At MindTheGapps, we provide you with the latest

mindthegapps.com

MindTheGapps-11.0.0-arm64-20230922_081122.zip

When installing the same rom (but newer date), you can just use install zip and nothing else, without formatting or wiping.

My Moto G5 Plus is working fine without battery drain, but have decided to install the newer MindTheGApps, so it will keep that way a longer period. Have just installed it and all seems to be working fine. I still think battery drain depends on rom date and gapps date. So I guess I'm good for about 3 months now.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gorgram:
thank you so much for all this!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gorgram:
ok, I ran into a small problem... After following all the steps, the phone boots into lineage, but as soon as the animation finishes and the OS screen appears, I get a message "factory data reset" and the phone reboots into recovery mode every time.

Googling it seems like this may be tied to magisk being previously installed?

However I've tried using platform tools command adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules, and yet the OS still boot-loops?

Any advice? Thanks!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
That's not something I've seen before. I have never used or installed Magisk. But I don't think it's a problem. Are you sure you have followed all the steps I mentioned, including formatting data at the end? Yes wiping (at the begin) and formatting (at the end) are both needed. I have however been into a bootloop once, when installing CrDroid. After that, I just did my whole installing process again from start, that worked for me. You also might want to try "twrp partition repair". I have done this on a Moto G5 Plus from someone else. That's like running chkdsk on a pc.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gorgram:
Thanks, I definitely followed the steps right. I tried a couple times, tried flashing only the OS and not mind the gapps, even tried Lineage 17.1 as well, but same issue. I was on PixelExperience 10 before, so ended up restarting and sideloaded PE11+ via adb, that worked on the first try. I know it's not as up to date as LOS and has issues, but for now I'm just going to run that since this is my primary phone and I'll see if I can figure out the LOS thing when I get more time. Thanks for all the help!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
I think some partition on you phone is corrupted somehow.

May be you could try "Rescue and Smart Assistant" https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/rsa This way all your partitions will be restored back to stock, but however it still will be unlocked. After that procedure, you will need to re-flash twrp, using "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.0_9-0-potter.img". After that you can do my procedure again and it shoud work.

I have done that procedure to go backup to stock Android 8.1 on my backup Moto G5 Plus. After that I found out that my imei (needed for calling and sms) wasn't working anymore. After searching with Google, I found that it's probably a user rights problem. But after restoring my twrp backup too (created just before switching from Android 8.1 to Android 11), it has worked for me. But this isn't a problem when going back to Android 11.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] saturn1955:
at the moment, my device is running with crdroid 6, but the internet is very slow and I want to change to lineage.

is it possible to flash the moto with the lineage-18.1-20231010-UNOFFICIAL-potter_security-patch-date_2023-10-06?

P.S.

After - fomat data - installation went without probs.

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gr8karma:
@cjdijk Thank you for posting the detailed instructions! I just upgraded my stock G5plus to the LineageOS 18.1 and latest MindTheGapps. Nice and easy.

Can you expand a bit on the sentences above? I'm curious about the battery drain issue. A quick search shows a lot of complaints about battery life on LineageOS. Just wondering if it's been a problem for you and if you've found a way to fix it. Have you tried installing a custom kernel or kernel manager?

Thanks!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Battery drain is caused becouse of all custom roms are pretending to be a Google Pixel Phone (also known as spoofing). Google pushes updates after the rom (and gapps) date is becoming older then about 3 months, that's failing becouse it's not actually a Google Pixel Phone (good thing, becouse your phone would be bricked if succes). This process is repeating over and over again, cousing the battery draining (and in some cases mobile data eating). I have never found an easy way or full guide to fix this, so I've given up, and bought myself a new Moto G84 G5 during Black Friday, same price I paid for my Moto G5 Plus. It does have a bigger screen, but becouse of the smaller edges, it's about the same size, only 1cm higher, same fingerprint location.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gr8karma:
@cjdijk I've hit a problem with the LineageOS 18.1 install. After a fresh reboot I can place one call, but all other attempts give me this error:

Cannot place a call as another outgoing call is already dialing

After googling a bit, I found someone recommending dialing *#*#4636#*#* and looking at the Phone Info. Everything seems to be provisioned correctly, but scrolling down near the bottom of that page it has an entry that says:

Voice Call Status: Call in Progress

So, it's not recognizing that I disconnected the call, I guess. Have you seen or heard of this before? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Only thing I've had, was when I did return from Android 11 to stock Android 8.1, my imei number was 0, so I couldn't call or sms at all. But after using "Lenovo rescue and smart assistant" and restoring my TWRP backup of Android 8.1 it was working again. But never any problem calling when using Android 11 (Pixel Experiance, DotOS, CrDroid and Lineage).
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LichtEstarossx:
I have tried the most recent builds and I usually receive one of these 2 errors:

1.- in lineage 17.1 when starting and/or configuring the rom I get a message saying "com.android.phone has stopped" and it restarts to recovery

2.- in lineage 18.1 this error does not occur but it simply does not connect to the wifi, whether it is network 2.4 or network 5, it only saves the password but nothing happens

I must mention that my device had stock Android 8.1, that variant never had Android 7, if anyone knows how to help me I would appreciate it
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Once your Moto G5 Plus has been updated to Stock Android 8.1, it's not possible to go back to Android 7.0, your recovery is also updated to 8.1 I was upgraded to stock 8.1 when I decided to try Android 11 custom rom's. I never have installed/tried Lineage 17.1, only 18.1, had no problem connecting and using wifi. I would suggest you would perform a clean install using the method I described earlier. I assume you already have unlocked your phone and installed TWRP recovery.

Hice eso, desbloqueé el gestor de arranque, instalé twrp, hice una copia de seguridad del EFS y de las particiones importantes.

luego instalo una rom de android 11, inicio rapido pero al intentar conectarme a wifi me sale ese mensaje, cuando configuro el dispositivo sin wifi e intento conectarme desde los ajustes me aparece un mensaje emergente que dice "red no disponible en este momento" "lo cual es extraño ya que tengo el módem a casi 2 metros de mi habitación.

Algo que noté de la última versión de lineage-17.1 es que puedo iniciarlo sin problema si no instalo los gapps, el problema es que necesito sincronización con Google, he probado a instalar la rom así y luego los gapps. pero el error persiste, como mucho puedo tener esa rom con gapps instalada cuando está conectada por USB a mi computadora, cuando la desconecto se apaga como si no tuviera carga y eso hace cada vez que intento actualizar, intentando roms de Android 10 antiguas veo que este problema no existe, pero en todas las roms de Android 11 que uso tienen ese problema de Wi-Fi, al parecer todo lo demás funciona
