I think you got excited too soon. The device page is completely gone now, and the info page shows no maintainer anymore.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
OP details this well, it may come back but nothing is guaranteed.

BTW - our kernel is 4.4 and was FULL of CVE's before being dropped - do not consider anything this old secure.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
4.4 is an LTS kernel with support until Jan 2027. "As the first kernel selected for Super Long Term Support (SLTS), the Civil Infrastructure Platform will provide support until at least 2026"
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Yes, but you do realize no one has actually merged CIP into lineage's common kernels, let alone our random Motorola one?

Even on the most reference of reference boards, merging CIP broke many features, USB, and restrictions etc.

[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
I don't know why you thinking AI generated response would be valid for this lol, me and the other maintainers are the only ones that can really fix this, and thus far we've been unable to without sacrificing other features that are stop ships.

Large Language Models, how do they work?
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
I'm not going down this rabbit hole, I'm not going to discuss minutia.

Ignoring what the maintainer of a device has said time and time again in favor of an AI or LLM based response is ridiculous.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
Sad how many people will just take AI at its word when it's just a flawed data summarization model based on whatever it scrapes from internet chatter. Truly the laziest of thinkers.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SonicPower:
Haha. My response was more of a tongue in cheek reference to the magnets meme, how do they work? thing.

Yeah because saying Machine Learning is so unsexy. Sad times.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Ah lol sorry
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
Wasn't really responding to you but to the dude who posted the AI response. Anyway after much research, I've bought a Pixel 6a to replace the G7 Plus...
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chalee7:
For me it was just interesting and little bit funny, what AI based searched results said: that it just depends on many factors (hardware, software, driver, maintainer..)

It finds out, that it is not closed and maybe a future update will come.

But it don't promises this.

Also AI found not your statements here.

It's important to note that the 20240315 build is LOS 21/Android 14, which has the VOIP bug preventing the mic from working on apps like Discord, Teams, WhatsApp, Meet, etc. You'd have to use the 20240208 LOS 20/Android 13 build which (for me) is fully functional.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Headroom.2:
Is it possible to downgrade to LOS20/Android13 without having to do a complete fresh install?
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] eheneo:
I don't believe so. In my case, I had to flash an older boot.img, and then install LOS20.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] John Paden:
Did anyone try to dirty upgrade the last official build with the

https://updater.oddsolutions.us/devices/lake/builds lineage-21.0-20240510-UNOFFICIAL-lake.zip

I tried, got a 'hang' a 6% which went away after Cntl-C (!) and one 'final hang' at 47%.

Probably would have needed to format data before?

Did I miss a 'hot to' somewhere?
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chalee7:
Sounds interesting! (But the unofficial ships with Google apps :(

Are the may security patches included and the VOIP-bug fixed in this unofficial release?
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] petexd:
I'm still building lineage 20 for my wife's g7 plus. The latest security update for may was included a week or so ago. The build worked well so my wife is as up to date as she can be for now.

Any one able to follow the build instructions can keep the g7plus lake alive.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chalee7:
Don't have enough RAM to build. :(

Which model number is your wifes g7+ !?

Could/Would you serve a download here!?
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] petexd:
Which model? All I know is the g7 plus (lake). and I've been building it on and off for a couple or more years. I noticed the lineageos team were keeping the components up to date so I started builing it again when the march security update was merged. I've now done the march april and may builds.

I hadn't thought about sharing my builds - they're totally unofficial and slthough my wife has no problem with them I would not like anything to go wrong on someone else's phone

I also don't know if the forum rules would have a problem with that.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SonicPower:
Are you upgrading from official to unofficial with GApps? My understanding is if you started initial installation from unofficial with Gapps, you stay on unofficial. You can't swap the builds around unless you build the unofficial yourself.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chalee7:
I mean the

Supported models

XT1965-2

XT1965-3

XT1965-6

XT1965-T

Could be a great project: to serve los20 unofficial builds with actual security updates for everyone (on their own risk), IF the official lake really stop maintaining..;)

Can't even understand (after waiting a while), why they focused on getting Android14 running with lake, while the march/April updates and Googles changes making it hard or unable for this special device.

Don't misunderstand: i still believe in, that they will fix all in the future and keep it running with Los21!

But until now los20 could be the "soulution" - and i hope they will bring it back officialy.

:)
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
I've said it before and I'll say it again we're not doing this, a bunch of users upgraded and they can't downgrade without losing data that's just how Android works.

To roll it back would result in users getting an OTA that soft bricks their device.

We are working on 21.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] petexd:
You're absolutely right. Fortunately my wife didn't have much data to lose and I had backed up some. I was just interested in keeping her security up tp date.

I'm not advocating offical updates just letting people who are able know they can keep lake alive fttb.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chalee7:
Thank you (and involved other persons) for your work, npjohnson! <3
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TripWis:
Also wanted to say that I am very grateful for your work (and other involved persons as well), I really appreciate being able to have a de-Googled phone with a system free from a lot of unnecessary stuff and also with lots of improvements in the settings.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Vegan_T-Rex:
Is it possible to install apps that require the basic integrity level, such as Netflix and banking apps, through the Play Store on the version of this ROM with GApps?
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Headroom.2:
Yes, it is.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Fabiano_C:
@npjohnson Sorry to bother you with this, but could you tell me if there are any updates on the wrapper that was being developed to fix the issue with the radio?
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
No.

Please stop asking.

I will be very loud and very clear when/if it is ready to ship again.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nonobio:
Hi, my Moto G7 Plus (XT1965-3) freezes randomly, and it can sometimes last several minutes, it's getting annoying (stock rom). I thought about doing a factory reinstallation but even if it meant reinstalling everything, I considered LineageOS which I have already used in the past. I read a user comment which had similar problems with the stock rom and he says that LineageOS had solved everything for him, it's rather motivating :)

I then came across this post which indicates that LineageOS 21 can no longer be developed for the moment because of the March security update.

Is it still a good idea for me to install LineageOS and if so, which version do you recommend? For example, should I install version 20 instead of 21? (I don't have any programming knowledge, I'm just a user who has already flashed alternative roms in the past, but I haven't done it for a long time)

Thanks :)
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chalee7:
At this time i recommend to take LOS 20/ A13 for this device, as the last 21-version got a bug with (encrypted) phonecalls in messengers (e.g.Telegram, Signal,..).

And if LOS21 is going on for #lake, just upgrade!

:)
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nonobio:
Thank you for your answer :)

Unless I'm mistaken, LOS 20 is no longer updated, but is the latest version stable?

And above all, do you think it could improve the responsiveness of my phone compared to the stock ROM? This is mainly what interests me.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
I'm using the last stable LOS 21 on the phone and it works perfectly fine. My only gripe is that they stopped updating, and I had to move on. Running a Pixel 6A now with LOS21. Whether you choose LOS 20 or 21, you are going to be running a phone with active unpatched exploits. My G7 Plus is just a wifi based house device now. I wouldn't run a sim on it regardless of OS version at this point.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] petexd:
LOS 20 is still updated just not for Lake. If you know what you're dong you can still build it for lake. I'm currently building it with the june security update.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Re-enabling builds in the next week or so.

Radio issue is fixed.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nonobio:
I don't intend to change my phone, but then it's even riskier to stay on the stock ROM, right? I currently have the stock Android 10 version QPWS30.61-21-18-7, the last security patch of which dates from December 2020 (unless I'm mistaken)

I don't know if it's complicated to do but I'm not a programmer, just a user...

Great. So does that mean that the best solution for me would be to upgrade to LineageOS 21?

But if I understood correctly, there is a microphone problem in the 21?

As I said, I'm considering LineageOS mainly in the hope of having a more responsive phone, do you think it could indeed improve this aspect?

Thanks :)
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
Now that npjohnson has announced new LOS21 builds are coming, you definitely should just wait for Official support to be restored. I don't have any microphone problem on LOS21.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nonobio:
This is what I'm going to do 👍, and do you find that LineageOS is faster than Stock rom?
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
Couldn't say. I never used the stock ROM. I hate vendor bloatware, so I always buy LOS supported devices and immediately put LOS on them. Done that with five phones now. But I can say that I was never annoyed with the performance of LOS on the G7 plus. I use only core gapps though and no other add ons.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] petexd:
Well that's good news. I shall go back to official LOS 21 now with my wife's g7+.

Thanks
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SonicPower:
Just tried the latest unofficial from upgrade and looks like the telephone doesn't work. Calls connect and receive. SMS works. However, no sound from speaker and microphone. No ringtone either. Visual voicemail or non-dialing voicemail listen no longer works.

Speaker button is stuck on. Can't deactivate it.

Anything I need to do before I erase the whole thing? Can't downgrade to an older build.

Ah should have trusted my instinct not to upgrade.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] petexd:
Where did you get the upgrade? There's nothing available yet for the g7+ as far as I can see.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SonicPower:
Unofficial. https://wiki.oddsolutions.us/devices/lake/

Don't upgrade from official.

I started from unofficial.

Sounds don't work, too. Maybe something with the drivers or device init?
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Like, sound doesn't work at all?
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SonicPower:
Yeah and videos. Nothing plays. No sound. No motion. Video doesn't even run one frame.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Figured out what happened, easy fix, pulled the build, will put new build up soon.

Defs by tmrw.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SonicPower:
Thanks! Look forward to it. I'll delay a full wipe until it is absolutely necessary.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Bad news, the fix I had did not work.

I am unsure how to proceed. You may need to wipe - sorry.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SonicPower:
Appreciate the quick feedback. Thanks for the heads up. I was already prepared to wipe.

Does this problem exist in the official or is this exclusive to the unofficial builds due to the extra goodies?
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Both.

Both are on hold.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SonicPower:
Ah that's a bummer.

Sorry everyone.

At least all the June patches are there, and texting does work. Now to figure out the sound and video problem.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
The issues are figured out, the old solution is just not viable on QPR3 anymoreeeee ugh.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
Do the other G7 phones (vanilla, Play, Power) have these issues? I know there was some diff with the radio, but this seems like something else entirely.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Those phones are entirely unrelated, an entire generation newer of chipset
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
Really? Isn't the Qualcomm SDM636 newer than the 632? One of those other G7's doesn't even have AC wifi, and they all have older Bluetooth modules (4.2 vs 5).
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
632 runs 4.9, 660/636 runs 4.4
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
Really? Man every time I look up spec on the LOS wiki pages for devices, it seems to list something wrong. Clearly shows that Lake uses BT 5. Of course this page says they BOTH do: https://www.notebookcheck.net/SD-632-vs-SD-636_11121_9956.247596.0.html
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
meh, tell me what's wrong and I'll fix
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
Well besides Lake showing BT 5, this device lists as arm when it turned out to be arm64 https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gts210wifi/ .
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
that device hasn't been supported in 6 years lol
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
Yup someone was trying to install unsupported new stuff on it, and I was trying to tell them it was 32-bit but they were adamant it was 64-bit, which it turned out to be.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
I was able to fix that issue with lake, new build is published.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
Nice one. When Lake is back to official, I'll jump right on the new builds (y)
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Officials are coming back within 7 days.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nonobio:
Hi,

After uninstalling a few more applications and deleting all the cache, my phone continues to be slow, so I'm going to try installing LineageOS and I'm happy to see that it is officially back for the Moto G7 Plus :)

Your last messages talk about a sound and video problem, I'm not sure I understood correctly, will I have this problem if I upgrade from my stock ROM to LineageOS 21?

Also, on the first post I read this:

lake - Official builds

lake - My unofficial with Google Apps/Pixel goodies included. OTA's roll roughly once a month. Support not guaranteed or implied.

I'm not sure which one to choose, what are the differences exactly and what do you recommend for my need? (I'm mainly looking to solve my slowness problems on my Moto G7 Plus)

Regarding Google Apps, I will need Calendar, Contacts, Drive, Gmail, Google, Home, Maps, Messages, Play Games, Play store, Phone, Translation, YouTube, YT Studio. Is all this possible with official builds?

Thanks a lot :)
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
I'd wait for Official LOS 21 to come back which npjohnson just said should be in a week.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
yup, newest unofficial build is reflective of what to expect form the official as of today as well
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
the wiki of the officials walks you through installing google apps.

The unofficial builds include all the pixel included google apps among other things.

Either or really.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nonobio:
I found the pages concerning Gapps:

Install LineageOS on lake | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

Google apps | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

If all the Google Apps I need (listed in my previous message) are installable with the official LineageOS version, I will choose that one because I'm not sure I need what's extra in the unofficial (plus, the “unofficial” is a little less reassuring for the simple user that I am ;)).

So I plan to upgrade my Moto G7 Plus from Stock ROM to LineageOS 21 official when it becomes available in a few days. I will install the MindTheGapps I need following the wiki procedure.

Let me know if there are any bugs in this version or if there's anything else I should know.

Thanks :)
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Seeker369:
I have installed the unofficial build. Thank you. Everything is good, except the updates are not installing. Is that expected? Is there a work around? Or do we just wait for official and load that, then they will work? Thanks.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Seeker369:
i know there's no eta.....but.....any idea when official will be here. lol....seems it should be close. thx
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
I'm as out of the loop as you and figured the automatic build process would have introduced a new one within a week of the return of lake to the lineageOS device download page. Just check daily until it shows up.

LineageOS Downloads

download.lineageos.org

p.s. You can trust in npjohnson. He's one of the most responsive android devs. He's good to us.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Seeker369:
i greatly appreciate your reply. i will do as you suggested and keep checking daily. yes, i want to send some $$$ to npjohnson for his amazing work. i have installed the unofficial ver 21. do you know if i can install the official 21 when it comes out without any loss of data? just sideload the official 21? thank you.
[Moto G7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] retry0001-coffee:
Pretty sure you'll have to do a full wipe to switch between official and unofficial, but I could be wrong.

Have followed the installation instructions succesfully up to the point of sideloading the ROM, when ADB returns * cannot read 'lineage-21.0-20240109-UNOFFICIAL-berlin.zip' *

Edit: think it was a problem with my ADB version. It is working now on a freshly installed ADB on a different PC
[Motorola Edge 20] graye13:
Hello!

Made an account just to say thank you!

I hated this phone before but installing lineage os 20 has cleared up all of the issues I used to have before

I have a few questions still:

1) When installing your los 21 what is the best way to save data? I have alot of data stored on my device and my Google drive and photos are all full.

2) Is there any alternative or remapping that can be done to the assistant button which is useless.

3) What are the pixel goodies?

Again Thank you.
[Motorola Edge 20] graye13:
Would also like to ask if there is any telegram or active community for this phone
[Motorola Edge 20] npjohnson:
1) Just pull your files via file transfer then put them back.

2) Settings has a few things, but we're working on some more stuff.

3) Really just pixel launcher, full GMS (google photos, etc.), Google Sounds, Wallpapers, etc.
[Motorola Edge 20] graye13:
Where to report bug?

Unable to enable Bluetooth lineage Os 21
[Motorola Edge 20] npjohnson:
You can report it right here.

Need logs.

But is suspect your remounted a partition? That can cause BT to break on this device.
[Motorola Edge 20] kanagawaben:
Regarding 2, I just use a free app (in-app purchase to enable long press alternative function, but that isn't essential) from the Play Store called Buttons remapper. It works great on Lineage/Pixel Experience (but remapping is blocked in the stock Moto software). I have mine set as a do not disturb toggle, so it cycles between sound on, vibrate and DND. Very nice, like having the little switch on an iPhone :)
[Motorola Edge 20] graye13:
Will factory resetting fix it?
[Motorola Edge 20] npjohnson:
Reflashing the ROM and wiping yes
[Motorola Edge 20] Th3 A6add0n:
Why call it "OFFICIALL" when it's NOT actually official?
[Motorola Edge 20] npjohnson:
Because we are shipping very soon and while I can script updates to the XDA threads themselves, but titles would require I literally go to 20 something threads and click buttons?

It will house officials within a short time anyway.
