Because it is an new devicd codebase, the old implementation can't be used. Therefore that minimal one is. Lineage itself didn't cause this. And we eventually can get an "lite version" of customization, can't promise tho
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Maybe in later update I will post it here
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Did you try an redownload
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
I tested that and all the basics work correctly, the only thing missing power on/off the screen with the fingerprint sensor.

Which in my case too, my power button is a bit weak and sadly we lack the option to use the volume buttons to power on the screen. It can be partially solved by unlocking the screen with the fingerprint.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] eboelens:
Yes it doesnt work. I took the day before and then it works.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
The update failed twice for me via OTA.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] doug888:
I'm getting corrupt zip file error when trying to flash
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] efelon:
Don't worry too much. We can still enable double tapping the status bar to lock and fingerprint-unlock (for all the ones with weak power button as myself). Swipe left/swipe right/tap the fingerprint sensor to replace the space consuming navigation bar on the screen is good enough. Having the Moto Actions back is more a nice to have at this point.

Since the camera fix, your ROM is by far the most stable and usable, and I tried many others before. :good:
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Horrible Username:
Been using OpenCamera, hasn't crashed yet. Which is the preferred API, original or camera2?

Does this update also have that GSI/Treble part working too? Although, I have to be honest, I really have no idea what that's all about. Care to explain how it's supposed to work?

Cheers.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Try the new update
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Camera2 has more features but really, you can choose!

The Treble stuff utilizes an unused partition on the eMMC (infernal storage) and moves all the hardware things there. Then it also isolates it from the /system partition. This allows to flash any GSI (Generic System Image) and therefore literally every ROM. I am not supporting this tho and this will be buggy. If you want to just use Mint you don't need to care
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
The latest update installed correctly.

Is there any way to avoid updates uninstalling Magisk (which in turn disables all modules and uninstall some Apps and resets others Apps dependent on MicroG)?

The only way is to manually download, install the updates and Magisk at the same time?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Horrible Username:
So, would this be like the phone equivalent of installing a new desktop in Linux?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] oldfone:
Thanks for the info.

Are we talking about 'disk encryption' here, rather than 'file encryption' (which I'm guessing is already happening on LOS 17.1?)?

And if I do a clean flash, I'm going to have to restore my settings from, say, a nandroid backup, aren't I? In that case, how will the encryption affect the restore?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] eboelens:
I took the day before 20november that worked
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
File encryption is not supported at all by this device. We are talking about disk encryption

The encryption only affects you it you switch ROMs often or you use an outdated TWRP (update it then)

Clean flash is like factory reset, an Nandroid backup will UNDO that tho, use the builtin seedvault to backup (or Titanium Backup or Swift Backup)
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
The Magisk Installer *should* add an addon.d, this means it auto reinstalls after update - if you enabled secure startup and do OTA you need to install magisk manually but in any other case it should work fine

Ask on the Magisk support if you can't get it to work
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Not exactly. More like installing a new distro but copypasting drivers.

20201121 - Phoneapp no audio

I tested doing actual phone calls lastly after everything else is satisfying, but that doesn't work at all. No ring tone before the other phone picks up (with and without speaker) and no audio in either direction also same on speaker on or off. I also tested another call app from f-droid with the same result. Other audio related operations do work as expected (Audio messages in IM, Video Recording with Audio both also tested with Bluetooth headset).

Test with cable headset: Ring tone working and audio from the other side but the other side couldn't hear me. Call dropped after a few seconds and even ROM rebooted spontaneously.

Edit: Never mind the mic in my cheap headsite died before. I assume cable headset would work.

Test with bluetooth headset: Same as phone internal behaviour. No audio in either direction.

I'm pretty sure at least phone internal audio worked before the mid November update. Although I think to remember problems when switching to and from speakers.

Can anyone confirm this observation or has advice for me?

Thanks

[MENTION=9942894]nift4[/MENTION] In all my whining and complaining, I forgot to thank you for all your work and this great custom ROM; THANK YOU!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Horrible Username:
One last question…

Is it possible to disable encryption? I refuse to do anything even remotely "sensitive" with my phone so encryption is actually a downside for me..
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
If you already are encrypted, no. Also encryption does not really have a downside if you disable secure startup
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Works for me and I'm currently on the build nov 21
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] efelon:
Ok, then this is very weird. Are there some other things which may need an update (e.g. Modem, Firmware, etc) which could be the cause for this?

If no one has a good idea, I will try one last time a fresh install without restoring a backup this evening and report back the result.

(Update to nov 24 has no effect. All call related microphone usage still doesn't work (Mobile call, Signal, Conversations, Matrix-Element,...) Microphone symbol is displayed in the status bar; Voice Messages, Video with Audio still works)
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
As noted in the OP, Required Firmware is Stock Oreo
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] efelon:
I left Stock a long time ago. But since I had many 64bit ROMs on it like https://xdaforums.com/g5/development/rom-lineageos-17-0-t4019593, which worked fine except the green tint bug for the camera, I'm pretty sure I'm good to go. Do you know what the symptoms would be when not starting at Oreo?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
You would have noticed it :P
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] oldfone:
OK, I had read something about encryption on source.android.com. I hadn't realized that it is device-specific.

I'm using an unofficial version 3.2.3-2 which I think I found on XDA after the official cedric versions failed to install the LOS 17.1 ROM. So I guess I should update date to the latest official version.

Sorry, I subsequently read up on Nandroid and realized that it restores the entire OS. I guess Seedvault wil be the way to go in the future, but for now I'll probably have a look at Swift.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] efelon:
I solved the problem myself by following this post to re-flash a stock OREO firmware completely. After going back to MintOS everything is fine now. :silly:

Sorry for the noise. And thanks again for the "phone saving" perfect ROM.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] eboelens:
This ROM is great thank you.

I use it for my work.

Since the update to Mint my recipients complaining of the quality of the conversation. They don't hear me very well.

* who recognise these problems?

Update, when switch on the speaker, they can hear me loud and clear.

Update:

After updating to latest, no more complainings ;)

Solved

Hello I'm on twrp version 3.3.1-2

Will the ota update work?

Or should I update twrp and what is the safest way ?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Update the TWRP
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] jrk2010:
I have 2 issues coming from 20.11.2020 Rom:

1. I use Dual SIM in Germany (Vodafone and O2). Problem: I get no connection to my ISP. Wifi works perfectly. Calls, SMS etc works perfectly. But I get no data connection. Everything is set up fine like APNs but there is no way to get a connection. Has anybody the same problem?

2. OTA Updates do not work as TWRP doesn't accept my password for encryption. --> maybe I have to update to the latest TWRP version? Anybody out there with the same problem?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] eboelens:
Update twrp and ota worked for me. Then update ROM,
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
My updates failed a few times via OTA, I do it manually via TWRP from now on and did not encounter any issues again.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
Are my Camera options correct? I think is missing the "HDR" and the "Save to SD card" option.

After I install an update and Magisk via TWRP, I also do the Wipe/Dalvik option.

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
Hi, I've just installed version 20200822 with open gapps 20201205 nano and it seems to work well... but, I can't seem to find a decently working camera app for it. The default camera app is very limited (no HDR, no burst, etc).

I tried the Google camera, but it crashes right away.

Open Camera works... but crashes often.

HD Camera stays black, no image.

Snap Camera HDR trial locks up.

Could you recommend a decent camera-app that stands up to the original Moto Camera?

Edit: Ah, now I see that this is not at all the latest version. Tried to update but something went wrong and now the phone won't boot anymore. Should I update one version at a time instead of just jumping to the latest?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] jrk2010:
My issue from Problem 1 is still there...No mobile data connection possible.

Anybody out there using dual sim with the same problem?

Thanks!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
You need to do a clean install for the Camera to work properly (since is fixed now). Download the latest updates from here:

Best Open Source ROMs 2024

Compare the best free open source ROMs at SourceForge. Free, secure and fast ROMs downloads from the largest Open Source applications and software directory

sourceforge.net

There are problems installing updates via OTA sometimes, so from now I only install updates manually via TWRP.

And if you use Magisk (for things like MicroG) you need to flash the Lineage and Magisk zip together to avoid the installer removing Magisk and breaking all of your modules.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
Ah, that makes sense! I was puzzled why the latest version on sf.net was so much older than the latest update. I got it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mint-os-project/ which is mentioned in the OP, the latest version there is 20200822.

Will download the latest from https://sourceforge.net/projects/motog5/files/MintOS/ and try again! thanks! :)
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
Seems to work! I downloaded 20201208 and the camera seems to be working fine with all apps! I found that you can even install 'moto camera' from the appstore to get the original camera-app back! :cool:

One thing I notice is that with the moto camera there are still some small differences to the one on my other G5 (I have 2, one with a cracked screen that I use to test this on before I do the same to my daily phone). I cannot choose aperture and ISO on the updated phone. Also (probably because of that) there's no HDR function available.

You wouldn't happen to know a solution for that do you? 😅
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
The lack of HDR/aperture/ISO is also on the Moto Cam too?

AFAIK there is no news on a improved cam with those extra features, it would also be nice to get the option to save to SD card.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
Well I didn't test other apps through but yes, the moto cam lacks that functionality.

Left is the phone I'm testing on, right is the unmodified Moto G5.

Ah, haven't tried that yet. I don't know if I'm really going to need the missing functions of the camera. Depends on the image quality. For me the camera is fairly important but if the image quality is about as good as with the unmodified phone it'll do. I never use manual settings anyway.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Horrible Username:
I'm using Open Camera with the advanced(?) API. It seems to have HDR/ISO, etc. working. I can't speak for SD card saving though since I'm not using one
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
Interesting, I guess we need to wait for further development of the stock app, hopefully soon it will be like the one on Lineage 14.

Thanks, I will try it out.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Possibly but with less features
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
The Moto Cam bug is actually being worked on by Jarl. But as Moto Cam is not opensource no promises.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] saldor:
I had the problem with the 20201208 release.

With 20201202 the data connection works fine.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
Ah yes, that one seems to work fine. :)

Cool. Using Open Camera works OK but I like the interface of the Moto camera better. :)
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
Wait, what? The Moto G5 has a status led???

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Morricorne:
Is this rom stable for everyday use? No FC, all connection work?

I need fast, stable rom with moto gesture.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Yes, it does.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Works fine for me :)
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
This ROM fast, stable and it has the basic moto gestures (you need to disable the nav bar to enable gestures)

At the moment, this in the best ROM for Cedric (exlucing Lineage 14.1).
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
Yeah I see that. But it's the first time I see it since I bought the device about 3 years ago! 😅

I remember that the specs stated that there was no led. I can't find a way to turn it on with the original software. So kudos for this project for exposing a hidden feature.

What's next? NFC? 🤣
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
The led is designied as an indicator that the device is alive in case that the battery is too low to turn on the display. Moto Support stated it's too weak to be used an notification led.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Morricorne:
Yeah i know how disable this. Cause i use my Moto g8 too. G5 is my second device. I try this custom in future
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Mint 2.1 is here!

- Added GApps variant - never struggle with installing GApps again (currently never built tho)

- Added Face Unlock :)

- Many internal changes

- Fixed recovery showing google/walleye instead of motorola/cedric while installing
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
Cool! Just get the latest from https://sourceforge.net/projects/motog5/files/MintOS/?

Because the link in the OP still points to a sf page with 20200822 being the latest.

Or, just use the updater on the phone?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
The OP does NOT link to an outdated page. I wrote it in capslock - USE THE DOWNLOAD TAB, NOT FILES! But as users don't read... P.S.: both methods are fine.

Haha, OK sorry for that. Just went straight to files. 🤦🏼‍♂️

On this rom i can pass safetynet test to use netflix app?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
So, I have updated my second phone to 20201218 using the updater on the phone. After installation the phone booted fine but no Google apps were working anymore.

So I figured, maybe a mismatch with this?

So I downloaded the image on my laptop. Restarted the phone into TWRP recovery and wiped the whole phone. Copied the rom over via usb and installed it again on this now completely clean phone.

No Google apps. So I downloaded the latest gapps nano, copied it over via usb and installed with TWRP. Now everything is fine again.

So, are there supposed to be gapps in the rom? I'm a bit confused by this part:

And, if not... why didn't the Google apps work after updating?

Am I doing something wrong?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rahimali:
I think to download the ROM with Gapps included, you have to download the ROM from this folder -> https://sourceforge.net/projects/motog5/files/MintOS/GApps/
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
Ah, that makes sense. But is it normal that the installed Google apps stop working if you update with the updater on the phone?

BTW this is no complaint, I think this rom (as far as I have tested it) works great! Just trying to figure out what to do when I decide it's time to install it on my daily phone.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Morricorne:
Already installed this rom on my Moto g5. Everything work with netflix too.

But i find one thing. Why i cant set save photos on sdcard in camera app?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Nope, OTA won't give you GApps builds when you don't have one installed.

As I see, you figured it out. The OpenGapps is on /system. But /system is getting overwritten. And if you have bad luck, the OpenGapps backup script doesn't work and the gapps get deleted.

No. You don't have the GApps variant.

When I wrote the post, the GApps variant was never built.

Answered above
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
You need to use an third-party camera app
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Morricorne:

Small update: Mint now has an unique filename. Now it's much easier to distinguish between Lineage, Mint and Mint with GApps
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Morricorne:
In open camera i still cant change this.

I installed footej camera. And i save photos and video on sdcard without problem.

Now everything work. It's a pity i can't change stock moto camera gesture with this footej camera. Anyway everything is working now. I test this rom more. Cause g5 is my second device. I use moto g8 as my first device.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
But, I had them installed. They just stopped working (got a notification every few seconds about the apps not working).

I understand that now. Thanks. :)

But, if I install the version with gapps, can I use OTA updates or will I have the same issue then?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
No, you did not have an GApps build installed. You had an normal build with an 3rd party GApps package.

It will work fine because GApps are included in the new /system. But I can't gurantee that you can switch to the version with GApps without clean flash.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HighKing81:
Ah, I get it now. Thanks!

No problem to clear the whole phone again. As I mentioned earlier I have two G5's, one with a cracked screen on which I'm testing atm. If everything works fine I will flash my daily phone as well which atm is still running stock. :)
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zerowhy:
I was wondering if a version of your ROM exists without Google Play Services and other google apps, or if I'm doing something wrong in the install process, as I don't want any google functionality.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
It does. Just don't go into the GApps folder. https://sourceforge.net/projects/mo...1223-UNOFFICIAL-Mint-v2.1-cedric.zip/download
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zerowhy:
Thank you for the quick response. I think I had downloaded the wrong ROM. I installed it and it works great, had no problems at all.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
I notice that you added a variant with Gapps, any chance of getting a variant with MicroG?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
That is an possibility, but I currently have no time :(
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] oldfone:
I finally got round to flashing Mint on to my phone. I used Swift Backup for the apps and was able to install the ROM without any problems. Everything seems to be working so far. Even the camera (which used to disappear after a while with CodeZero's LOS 17.1 and only randomly reappeared after several reboots) seems to be working fine.

So thank you very much for the ROM.

Hi again,

I think my problem should be better placed here insted of the "[ROM][10.0][UNOFFICIAL][ARM64] LineageOS 17.1" forum.

I tried to flash the Mint version by using twrp-3.4.0-1 and downloaded "lineage-17.1-20201231-UNOFFICIAL-Mint-v2.1-GApps-PL2".

Installing ZIP file wasn't possible. Every time I try an error occurs "Invalid zip file format!..."

I downloaded this file again this morning.

Do you have any more idea?

Thank you again
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Lorikaz:
I think you got the wrong ROM version as "PL2" is the codename for the Nokia 6.1, you need to use the file which contains "cedric" in the title

Is there any benefit using your Gapps build vs. just installing Gapps on our own?

My phone was running very, very wrong so I wiped everything and did a full install with your Gapps build. One thing I noticed is the keyboard doesn't work with swipe/gestures now. Is this intentional? Can it be turned on?
