I can confirm this. Has anyone found out how to fix this?

Plus I'm under the impression that the overall screen colors are somehow under-saturated / dull / washed out... Changing live screen settings does not change anything here.

Thank you! I thought I lost my photos, but I found them thanks to your post.

I then read more about this issue, there is no easy fix. LineageOS devs are looking into the issue, but new Android restrictions are making this more difficult to address. I saw someone mention the Magisk module ExSDCard, however after I set it up to give permission to org.lineageos.snap, that alone did not make Snap save pictures to a public path on the SD card. I am giving up trying to find a fix, for now, but hopefully it will be taken care of by the LineageOS devs in the future.

This reminded me of a Magisk module that once worked but it broke last year.

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-magic-folder-binder-t3621814

It allows you to remap any folder on the Android system to a folder on your SDCard (Downloads/Music/Pictures/Screenshots/etc). I'm only mentioning it because even though it broke it looks like the dev is actively working on it again and may have got it working (via his telegram channel, don't get the 2019.1.23 version - that's the latest one in the Magisk store). Just read the latest comments on the thread above to follow. This module worked like a charm (when it was working) and I really miss it. I'm going to see if I can get it working again.

Lineage has always been my "go-to" rom, but I'm unable to use it on my G5 Plus as the "Sample Leanback Launcher" prevents me from accessing my app drawer, or my settings , or mych of anything else. Can anyone explain to me a way to remove it? I've tried a few suggested methods, but without success. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

fingerprint sensor does not work. I made an update from version LineageOS 15.1 to 17.1. No erros, only the fingerprint sensor does not work. There is also no menu item in the settings. Does anyone have an idea what i can do?

Found a solution:

The issue with fingerprint is that after flashing stock Oreo ROM it replaces some files related to fingerprint sensor.

Hence all the newer custom ROM builds use the Oreo firmware related files. Hence it worked on the Pie ROM.

RR v6 would be still using the old nougat firmware hence you need to flash a file for it work. Which will replace the fingerprint related files for Nougat Stock firmware:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904029634

In case you want to revert the changes and use Pie ROMs:

UPDATE: 6 hours later... Exercise caution before flashing this ROM !!

I'm experiencing problems after updating to it. Rebooting kicks me into TWRP with the message RescueParty. This implies that things are not well. Unable to restore any previous TWRP Nandroid backups, doing default wipe operations between each restore attempt. Will now totally wipe and format /data as well as internal storage and try a fresh install with this ROM otherwise I will fall back to the November update from ZJRDRoid.

I'll update later after figuring out what I need to get up and running again.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] oznate:
Hi, just flashed the November linked above ROM as my stock just became too unusable and I suspected malware etc.

I note that the Snap app is not saving to DCIM folder but to the app subfolder inside the SD card. I don't mind where it saves but Gallery doesn't see that folder so effectively I cannot view the files on the phone unless I open the Files app and navigate to that subfolder.

After some reading I see this was an issue in LOS 16 but just wondering has it ever been resolved? Seems an architectural problem as in not allowing apps to read the public area of the SD card.

Steps to reproduce the solution to the problem:

1.-Encrypt the phone once LineageOS 17.1 is installed

2.-You will notice the camera no longer works

3.-Make a full TWRP backup (check everything except for System Image)

4.-Flash another rom (in my case it was PixelPlusUI 3.4) + BITGapps

5.-You will notice a boot loop

6.-Wipe everything and restore the backup you did before

7.-Now the camera will work again!

I would like to ask to the people that already installed it,

does GPS works well & fast on the Android 10 rom by ZJR ?

I ask because in every Android 10 rom I tried on Potter, the GPS is super slow to get a fix...

you can actually check with the app GPSTest how much time it takes to get the first fix from the satellites (TTFF)

That's quite important to me as I never install GAPPS/Google services, so I can only rely on the actual satellites fix to get my position...

And that's why I'm still on Android 8.1,

gps fix in under 10 seconds.

Thanks for you work! I use Gothic's latest 18.1 build and everything –even encryption– is running flawlessly!

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I had quit following this thread so closely when the 17.1 ROM releases slowed down in the spring.

But back to your camera question...

My camera was hanging a lot! I tried other camera apps and had the same problem.

I did find a fix after a very long search!!! everywhere on the net. And now I'm having trouble even re-locating the post again.

But the essence was a one line shell script that was called killcam:

#!/system/bin/sh

kill -HUP `ps -A | grep camera | awk '{print $2}'`

I just keep it in my /sdcard/Downloads directory. I fire up a local terminal on the phone, do an "su" to get a root shell...

Then I run "sh -x /sdcard/Downloads/killcam

I keep this around and simply have to run it when my camera or flashlight hangs.

Am totally surprised how killing a few camera processes can fix what a reboot or re-installation of the app, or wiping of it's data doesn't solve!

Riddle me that Batman!

(mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/), Mine is RETLA and no matter wich version (p,q,r) of lineage I try to install (and some other roms too btw) it doesn't work, just bootloop, I even tried downgrading TWRP, some other roms, like CRDroid or DoT boot just fine, but I'd like to install this one, any thoughts?

Thanks in advance btw

I've already tried: with and w/o gapps, TWRP 3.5 and 3.2.3 and android P and R of Gothic Lineage

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] paul_ramone:
Hi,

First of all, thanks a lot for keeping LOS for Potter alive!

I tried to install this ROM yesterday, but without success. I have used the LOS 14.1 (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-7-1-2-unofficial-lineageos-14-1.3593556/) so far without problems.

What I did yesterday (I am using TWRP 3.5.2):

- wiped system, data, cache, dalvik

- flashed latest LOS 18.1 build (GothicVI, 20210609)

- flashed MindTheGapps 11.0

- flashed Magisk 23.0

I got no error messages at all during installation. When I rebooted to system, the moving LOS logo appears etc. The system asks for my pin/password. I enter it and the moving LOS logo appears again and after a while the screen turns black. And that's it. But it is interesting that if I press volume up or down, the volume control appears on screen. And I am able to power off the system without having to force it. If I press the power button, the regular options (emergency, shutdown, reboot) appear on screen and I am able to power off. It is almost as the system is working but I cannot see anything (only volume control and shutdown options...).

I have already read all posts in this thread, but didn't find any information that could help me. I was wondering if I must do what @TopazTestified describe in his/her post (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unofficial-10-0-potter-lineageos-17-1.4088253/post-82961327), but I am not sure and I don't want to make things even worse...

Or maybe this has to do with encryption (as @okayk mentioned). Should I disable encryption before flashing LOS 18.1? If yes, how do I do it? (sorry for such basic questions!...)

If anyone can image what I am doing wrong, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

PS.: a final question: I couldn't find any pico version of Gapps for 11.0/LOS 18.1? If there is any, where could I find it? Thanks again!

Hi, @sff462

Thank you for your quick reply! I have just tried with zjunior06's build. Unfortunately I got the same result: black screen (vol up and down and power button working, but nothing else).

A further question: in addition to wiping system, data, cache and dalvik, should I also format data? (sorry again for some basic questions...)

Thank you!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] okayk:
I've had the same problem when I switched from an Android 10 to an 11 ROM for the first time. I had to format –be aware you'll lose everything on your internal storage– to remove encryption before installing Lineage 18.1.

I could then boot Lineage normally and encrypt my phone again from the security menu.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] paul_ramone:
Since I got no answer to my last question (no problems at all!), let me ask a more direct (yes/no) question:

→ from LOS 14.1 (encrypted) to LOS 18.1: do I have to format data before flashing the new ROM?

Thank you all!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] paul_ramone:
Hi @okayk

I think we wrote our last messages almost at the same time! Thank you for your answer! I'll format data then.

If I may add a further question: every time I tried in the last days to install LOS 18.1 and failed, I was able to restore from a backup I did using TWRP. If I format data, won't I be able to do the same if the installation of LOS 18.1 also fails? In other words: are my chances of restoring my old LOS 14.1 if something goes wrong smaller if I format data?

Thanks a lot!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] okayk:
I've never tried to downgrade so I can't tell for sure, but it should be alright. Be sure to save your backup on your SD card before you format your internal storage.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] panachoi:
You'll have to ask the individual ROM developer that question, I have no idea. I was real happy (way back then) when I unlocked the bootloader on my potter that I didn't lose Widevine L1, but I cannot say what bits, if any, need to be twisted to have it back in 18

It wasn't encrypted anymore I think

P.S.: had to flash stock rom to remove encryption

P.S.2: I think that google has something against me, the last times I still used this rom plus gapps the play store would say that there was no space left on device, even after a clean flash, also the device screen would turn on and off while showing the logo on boot

This doesn't happen since I use only lineageos without gapps (neither of the 2 things)

I made a tweet:

In TWRP, choose "wipe-advanced wipe-...-format data" type "yes", done.

To check if the phone is encrypted, in the menu under "security", you will find if it is encrypted or not.

I don't use Lineage but crdroid and i never had a similar problem.

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] massima:
Probably I explained wrong but you need to "format data" and not "advanced wipe" because the wipe just cleans keeping the encryption.

I did try Arrow-v12.0-potter-UNOFFICIAL-20220412-VANILLA.zip but it doesn't work very well. I could install it, have also installed (flame)gapps, becouse it's without gapss, but had at least two mayor issues with it. Camara does not work, even installing and trying another camera app. There is no sound, playing audio/video, also ringtones aren't giving any sound (when choosing one in audio settings). Becouse of that, I did not insert my sim, so I did not try calling someone. Let's hope there will come an official/stable version soon.
