This is the support thread for the Verizon variant of the StarKissed Note 4 kernel.
This kernel currently supports all North American carriers through the use of specialized release packages that will detect your device version and make appropriate adjustments.
Kernel Development Thread:

Issues, Reports, & Configuration
Direct installation available via Flashify (for root users) - Android Apps on Google Play
Heimdall with the S5 patch is needed to flash from a computer. Odin cannot flash this kernel.

The idea to have individual carrier discussion threads was a good idea, in theory. It allowed finding the kernel support thread without leaving the device section that was already being viewed.
Instead of making things easier, it was only more work retrieving the correct link for all of the posts that ended up in the development thread. This does not include many of the issues that were carrier independant and ended up spanning multiple discussion threads, including the development and building threads.
Rather than posting links at the risk of rude comments boycotting the minimal effort necessary, all discussion is being funneled into Issues, Reports, & Configuration.
It was a good run. Thanks for reading.
Dears,
I had Desire 630 briefly and I saw that ROM is hard to find, also there are a lot of web sites that charge RUU 5$ and more.
So I have created this ROM. It is not modified, not signed and it flashes only system and boot so it is good for S-ON devices with unlocked bootloader.
Please find below download link:
I am not allowed to post outside link so please search for htca16dwgl_stock.zip on Mediafire (file/kjaha74txxlhht1/htca16dwgl_stock.zip/file)
You can flash it as any other ROM in TWRP.
and disclaimer
Disclamer: This ROM was made for testing and educational purposes. It is not intended for commercial use.
Software included may be subject to copyright.
Flash this ROM at your own risk. Developer is not responsible for what you do on your device.
I don't know what is vendor and how to check what version i have... Please someone explain
I feel you man
A Vendor image contains device-specific hardware drivers and universal for all apps within a smartphone or tablet. A ROM developer can create universal ROMs for multiple devices, then users can apply the appropriate vendor images for their own devices.

I don't know, it's probably ok.
Motorola Update Policy
Basically, Motorola will only provide One major Android update and two years of regular security updates.
But may extend support for devices that see longer than normal usage.
9 to 5 Google said:
For instance, this policy depends on the majority, so people who switch/upgrade their devices early could ruin the long-time use of a phone for others. Further, it’s just a paradox. Motorola is essentially saying that it will update phones the longer people keep them, but people will be more likely to upgrade their phone if they feel it’s been abandoned.

Motorola is committed to regular and timely security updates as recommended by Google/Android. While phones cannot be upgraded indefinitely, we provide security updates within the industry standard on both our regular and our Android One devices.

[Update: Retraction] Motorola's new Android update policy depends on how long customers keep phones
Motorola just announced a new Android update policy that paradoxically ties long-term support to how long most customers keep their phones.

Does Motorola still use blur_* OTA updates? If so, is there any other tool to get them? I tried the OTAU.exe and the online version... Couldn't find anything. Also, OTAU says it couldn't find the software version. I entered it manually, but still, it doesn't find anything.

Great info all easy to find!
I tried everything I could think of to find the stock ROM to get the boot.img out of to use Magisk on for my Moto g32 XT2235-2 (devon) and did not find it anywhere. No PC to run the Lenovo assistant (although this is my backup plan if nothing else works in a few days is find someone with a PC - I've used the tool before and it has saved phones for me that I messed up somehow).
Is there any way to pull the boot.img out of the phone itself with unlocked bootloader using fastboot commands or something?

Thanks for the link. It looks like that is for the xt2235-1 which by "retbr" I'm guessing means retail Brazil. I was looking to find xt2235-2 / "reteu" or retail Europe. I might try it eventually, but I'm in no hurry so I'll probably wait. Perhaps Lineage or other ROM will eventually be made.
My plan is to flash a GSI image (LineageOS) for android 9. Specifically the following
- https://github.com/LineageOS/android/tree/lineage-16.0
- https://github.com/AndyCGYan/lineage_build_unified/tree/lineage-16.0
Is there a chance of getting this to run on my device? Please see the attached file for the output of the Treble Info app.
I cannot find any information about the impact of VNDK version 27.0 so any help is much appreciated.
Device info:
- Processor: Rockchip 3399

I have the same issue, only thing I could find out, some features not gonna work, (who know what), if you install a newer vndk you wont be able to return to an older one. Be honest, Project Treble is made for seamlessly update phones, but it is a mess, versions, vndks, legacy phones, A-B-A/B images, etc. it doesnt do what it meant to do.
The XDA forum was a good place to ask questions like this, it was, still remember to get answer about my 10 years old phone, however things really changed over the years. Members change their phones on montly basis, so dont expect any professional answer.
