What's the proposed method of updating with monthly builds?

Just dl new build.zip > run twrp recovery > install build.zip?

Should I worry about data?

Any steps toward making your builds into official los repo?

Can't say that OTA updates are very comfortable ;)
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] flmalegre:
That's what I did, no problems so far. (I did do a nandroid backup and a Migrate backup like the paranoid little bastard I am before hand)
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] fwiep:
Yes, this is the recommended way to update.

Download the ZIP and SHA256SUM

verify the checksum

reboot to TWRP (make sure it's the most recent 64bit recovery)

copy-and-flash the ZIP (or use adb sideload if you prefer)

flash any gapps immediately after, before the first reboot

clear cache and Dalvik cache

reboot to system

This method has worked flawlessly for me when I used the LineageOS 18.1 builds myself.

These days, I use a self built LineageOS 19.1 as daily driver; using the same procedure upon each update.

No, I think not. Providing two separate builds for the G6 each month feels as quite a big responsibility on its own. Having to live up to the (valid) expectations of being an official maintainer would be too much for me. I'm just a happy human buildbot, not a core developer.

Hope this helps, kind regards,

Hello all,

From the 2022-10-22 build on, there is an OTA updater included in this ROM. It can check periodically for an updated build (see Settings / System / Updater). If you have a compatible recovery installed (as you should have TWRP from the OP), it installs fully automatic after download.

In other words: if you install this ROM, next month you will not have to scout XDA or Telegram for updates. They will be available to your device directly.

Tested on my LineageOS 19.1 build, but if things don't work as expected, please let me know.

Kind regards, see you next month,

I just installed this a couple days ago. Wiped old rom and flashed just this no gapps.

Very snappy. Runs way smoother than the android 12 rom I tried previously. Think I'm gonna stick

with this until I decide to retire the phone. Thanks for doing this and hopefully the updates will keep coming.
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] VenkmanP:
My G6 has mic problems with this ROM - possibly gain settings?

Occurs with calls using phone dialer, signal, google voice. Didn't test any other mic-using apps like a recorder.

In handset mode mic is inaudible unless you pretty much jam it into your mouth, and then it's audible but distorted. In speakerphone mode volume is OK at normal handset distance, but does not work at speakerphone distance.

It was like this with the November version, and the same with the Jan version. ROM installed after a complete format+wipe.

Switched back to the crDroid 11.0 ROM and mic is fine. Mic is also fine in all the 12.1 ROMs.
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] fwiep:
Hi,

Thanks for pointing this out. Together with the G6, I have built LOS18.1 regularly for the Samsung SM-G920F (zerofltexx). Since the most recent build, those users have suddenly got microphone problems, too.

So, it might be some upstream LOS18 issue..? I have no idea.

I'll try to investigate, keep an eye on the official logs and hope that a new build will fix those issues for you (and all others).

Kind regards,

I'm having a problem with the google wallet on this ROM: basically, the Google Wallet gets replaced by Google Pay (defunct).

What in the hells name could be doing that ?

I first thought it was Gapps (only pico fits on /system) to blame, then I created a thread about it, but I'm a little on a hurry (I use NFC a lot) and not hopeful that an answer will come on That forum.

If no solution pops soon, I'll have to revert to Android 9

😣

Latest Magisk (Shamiko, MagiskHide Props Config, UniversalSafetynetFix)

Latest LSPosed (HiddenCore Module)

Forgot to mention: I have a Galaxy S7 with this lineage 18.1. Wallet works there with the same modules (and it's wallet, not Pay)

---------------------------------------------------

Big fckn update:

Seems like all of this is NORMAL.

For some reason, on THIS VERY ROM, the google Pay takes precedence over the Wallet.

After some fighting, the app is back at work. No root detected.

On an official 18.1 (I have it on a Samsung), the actual Wallet takes precedence.

----------------------------------------------

Since I'm here, I'll feedback about the ROM overall.

- I REALLY miss the 3-finger screengrab

- I'm also a victim of the erratic battery value;

- Sometimes apps hang where they didn't use to, and I have to force close them. Especially when the keyboard is involved. Even a simple notepad hangs;

- The wifi doesn't connect automatically sometimes: I have to bring it down and select my SSID.

- The phone app hangs for a moment when I try to answer a call. That one is crytical;

- The screen rotation re-enables itself on every reboot. Also, it's very aggressive and overrides my third parties;

- Poor multitasking. It kills my apps.

- A11 removed SDCard access, but this ""can"" be overriden by using the NoStorageRestrict module;

- So many system mandatory notifications that I can't get rid of !

- I'm still struggling a lot to have back the vertical recent apps list. Begging for help.

Don't know which of these problems are due to the porting, IF ANY... But I'm not sticking to this ROM here. Definetely. Too many patches to fix the disgusting stupidities google is making with this OS

Yes, it should be possible to install some other gapps packages, not being OpenGApps. As long as it's arm64 and for Android 11.0.

[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] LucasBS1:
Hello.

I'm curious about these additional features:

Are they created by yourself or by the Lineage team ?

Can I request something like the good old vertical scrolling recent apps list (from Android 9 below) ?

And last: in these Moto gestures, is the three-finger-screenshot included ?

Thank you
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] fwiep:
Hi,

The added FM-radio and Moto gestures were all done upstream, by the ROM developer(s): most of all @brunogroa.

I am just a fortunate builder, but not a developer. I don't have the skills or knowledge to include such a feature. Sorry. :(

No, not as far as I know. There are some device-gestures and some fingerprint-gestures.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I can't help you in this.

Kind regards,

[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
Hello, you mentioned that this ROM is signed with your personal android key, does it mean that on the PlayStore the device is "certified"?

And the added Moto fingerprint gestures; does it allow to turn off the device with the fingerprint sensor like on stock?
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] fwiep:
Hi,

No, it just means that any OTA updates to the system will be able to overwrite the current system.

If you're looking for a solution to "this device is not certified by Google...", boot to TWRP and read android_id from /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db's main SQL-table. Then see this page at Google.

If you mean to turn off the screen using fingerprint; yes. I use that feature myself.

Kind regards,

I asked about the "Safety.net / CTS" features because some banking apps are finnicky about it (I notice on MicroG that even Whatsapp now checks for it) but most apps work fine with the Pass on "Basic Integrity" and the "Evaluation type" is Basic.
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] fwiep:
My builds do not pass Safety.net checks - as stated on the official LineageOS pages.

The bank-app I personally use works without a problem. Whatsapp notifies me when the app installs, that it detected a custom ROM and does not offer support for that. But it, too, works without problems.

Hope you don't run into any troubles - or you'd have to dive into things like Magisk. I never have (had to).

Kind regards,

Hello, I've seen only the 19.1 update, have you dropped 18.1 builds? Cheers!
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] fwiep:
Hello,

Unfortunately yes, but not by choice. It seems that Android 11 is now officially unsupported (see Wikipedia). This article states the final (security) update was February 5th, 2024. My last build is on exactly that level.

LineageOS still lists 50+ devices as having 18.1-support (see the LineageOS logs. As soon as there is a security-update in the LineageOS 18.1 repo, I will build again.

If you can live with the known issues of my 19.1 builds, that is always an option. Until that version is eventually dropped by LineageOS, too :( .

Hope that helps for now, kind regards,

FWieP
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] vmangobob:

[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cal_u:
Hello, thank you for maintaining 2 roms for our device for so long!

I noticed that, after your last build, lineage included support for microg. Would you build this rom one last time? It performs a lot better than android 12 roms, and would be a nice ending for our g6
[Moto G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] fwiep:
You're welcome :) .

I have never used microG myself, nor root, fingerprint spoofing or any of those custom ROM features.

If someone were to include these LineageOS' changes, they would probably have to know how to implement them properly. Add a spoofable fingerprint, for example. I'm sorry, but I don´t have those skills. Nor do I want to build solely to include a root (-like) feature, without new security patches.

In the unlikely event that a new LineageOS 18.1 security patch becomes available, I will of course build. Then you'll have the changes included. But beware, that there would probably be some more work to be done to make spoofing work.

Perhaps the best advice I can give, is: build the ROM yourself. Follow the build instructions, using the manifest.xml to include the G6-specific edits and source trees. You can then flash the ROM in TWRP..

Hope this helps, kind regards,

It wants me to grant permission to the 'Phone'. Are you all just agreeing to this? I do not need the functionality, so why must I grant the permission? I couldn't care a toss is a carrier call is disturbed by a Whatsapp call.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] gleen41:
Hi.. I'm searching for a new phone to replace my f1.. I know the F3 is amazing and fast and everything.. I am asking is it worth buying now.. Because the new Samsung A series are more expensive and perform half as good as the F3 but they are new and will get supported until android 14.. Should I go with the old f3 in 2022 or should I wait for something newer. Like the f4 (I heard it has the same SD 870) so it's not much of a difference when the F3 is now on sale 10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254.

Does anyone know if the Poco f3 will officially get the android 14 update next year.. I'm worried about the updates.. Because its already 1 year old and I don't know for how long will it still get updated

How is the phone in general.. And how's the battery life specifically?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] nicky69100:
it depends of how much you spend for it and your needs. F3 is powerful, smooth with a great display. camera is okay (with gcam), but proximity sensor is garbage and phone will unlock in your pocket when you receive a call. Also there a tons of good rom for it, like arrow os or crdroid. if you pay less than 250 euros it is a great deal. between 300 and 400 you could go for poco x4gt or f4, or realme gt neo 2 5g or gt 5g. also some snap 778 phones are great if you don't mind downgrading soc, like Samsung a52s which has great camera with ois and ingress protection, or realme gt master edition which is lightweighted, well balanced and can be found around 200 euros.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Suhaas:
its not worth it now. better buy poco F4. non GT version. the one with SD 870 processor.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] TigTex:
The 8/256 version was at 239 euros on amazon prime day and it was probably the best phone that you can get for that price. If the price is right, Poco F3 is the way to go

I bought the 8Gb versione on june 2022. Why the F3?? It is well developed on XDA, low price, do you need anything else?? Not for me. The F4 is similar to the F3 but it is expensive. This is why I chose the F3
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] novicelearns:
F3 good at 200-240 euros. Like Amazon prime sale. Don't buy it in 2022 if the price is above 240€. There is OnePlus Nord 2 at 267€. OnePlus 9 with sd888 at 330€.samsung s21 ultra at 499. pixel 6

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] HkQc:
I bought the poco F3 2 weeks ago after a thorough analyze BUT this is my personal opinion based on my personal needs :cool:

My main criteria were in order of importance :

Good battery life : my previous phone was a Moto g8 power (2020) which achieved between 10-11h SoT for me. I would be comfortable with at least 7h for the new phone.

Excellent ROM support on XDA : at least one official ROM

Amoled screen

Powerfull : above 40000 pts with AnTuTu V8

Non curve screen

350 USD max (shipping included)

After cross-comparing a LOT of phone on gsmarena and XDA, I came down to the Poco f3.

Hope that helps ;)

BTW, comparison between Poco f4 and f3 with Gsmarena shows differences only in :

Camera area

Better fast charging

Worst endurance (battery life)

It was not significant for MY purpose.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lebigmac:
Whatever you do don't get Samsung as it's not at all developer friendly compared to Xiaomi devices.

For instance Samsung deliberately removed fastboot and replaced it with a fake empty one that doesn't even do anything.

Then they force your device to be selinux Enforcing at all times and even setenforce 0 doesn't work. To go permissive you must first hack your own kernel. What a joke...

2) miui 12.5.5 global stable - currently using now decent battery life with SOT 5 - 6 hours, some time 7 hours SOT, but overnight battery before & after sleep not consistent sometime eat 2~3% sometime 5%...

3) Saw youtuber suggested miui 12.5.3 global stable & below that number rom will be good battery life so any users using miui 12.5.3 global stable can you post/show battery life result is it true good ? Appreciate your sharing

Hello so after one year usage i want to talk about my experience using poco f3. At first it was very fast and looked perfect for the price. But right now im on vacation and the glass is filled enough ive throwed it out of the car. It fails mostly when it needed just right at the moment. Tryed many roms, like original, miui eu arrow os and etc, camera at photos is average but at filming it can only do 1080p 30 fps, for having 60 fps or at 4k focusing starts to fluctuate even with org or google cam with many mods. So that disapointed alot, like back to 2013. When your fingers are wet you cannot unlock it with the pin.. what about fingerprint. When you fail with fingerprint, put it back to the pocket and somehow it unlocks. It even called emergency numbers by himself. What about when you unlock it abd it goes black screen.. And nothing you can do about it. Im using android from 2010 and i think its time to change side, because problems never changed in 10 years using android. Thanks guys.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] culltivate:
Yeah the "proximity sensor" isn't good but there are ways around it and things good ROM Devs think about and implement fixes for. Camera is whatever if the only thing you care about is good camera quality use xiaomi.eu rom... However it's good enough... On aosp ROM NGCam_8.2.300-v1.8 works best for video (4k 60fps) autofocus isnt the fastest but it works. For pictures there's a thread which includes a magisk module for ported anx cam.

For the performance and amount of development support at a pricepoint of ~€200 for the 256gb 8gb ram model is pretty hard to beat imo
