In regards to the Development of Lineage for the Google Pixel, how will the built in Lineage updater handle the duel slot pArtion? Will the updater be developed different than lineage for other devices

Long story short, can I install any Project Treble custom ROM to my Honor 7x? Including all GSI ROMS in THIS LINK?
I think it really depends. Some systems are exclusive for some CPUs like qualcomm, others may require full project treble partitiona coverage, but you can flash any treble rom by OpenKirin( they have android P and other roms like lineage and RR)
Hi dears!
Is it possible to repartition and make Project Treble for SAMSUNG Galaxy J7 2017 (J730F/DS)? I'm very sad, cuz this phone doesn't support none of stable custom ROM's like LineageOS or Ressurection Remix.
Its near impossible to "partition" your phone for project treble to be compatible, if it didn't ship with 8.1.0 Oreo then its a guarantee its nor compatible
Project treble is compatible with android 8.1.0 or above
Their is things happening in the world and your sad cause project treble is incompatible with your phone, grow up

Everything is possible. Some things are just difficult.
You can take a look at Mi A1 repartition guide made by CosmicDan. He added vendor partition to Mi A1 which had Nougat out of the box.
But don't use that guide. You would need Treble vendor and Kernel with Treble support etc first.
If there's any other phone with same CPU and it has Treble then You can try porting it from that device. But that's difficult. And some things could be buggy. On some Samsung phones You wouldn't even need to repartition them as You can use their /cache partition to keep vendor files.
I'd recommend You to just buy a new phone with Treble if You really need Treble that much. There are lots of cheap Xiaomi phones with good specs and they support Treble.
Your phone got 8.1 update so You're not using outdated firmware.. Treble only sounds fun for the first 10 minutes. Then You start noticing that all roms are almost identical Except for MIUI 10 or Nubia sGSI.
Hi!
If I understand things correctly, my Moto G5 phone is born with an Android OS version that only accepts 32bit code, although the hardware is 64bit?
Why did Moto do that? It sounds like selling a car with a 6 or 8 cylinders engine, and only use 4 of them...?!
And on top of that, I discovered they stopped updating that (primitive 32bit) Android 8.1.0 OS in February 2019...
Should I switch to a custom 64bit ROM? NB!: Stability and robustness is more important to me than fancy new features...!
I found 2 lists of 'Best ROMs for Moto G5'. The shortest recommends 8 here:
https://romsx.com/best-custom-roms-for-moto-g5/
So which should I choose?
NB: Moto G5 only has 16 GB.

You will have to ask Motorola for the answer to the first part
As for custom 64bit roms:
Lineage 17.1
Lineage mint (based on lineage 17.1)
ASOP android 10
Are the latest custom roms for this device (see dev section)
All will have the same issue with regards to camera/video recording not working fully

Thank you for your reply!
But what about ROMs that have been more tested in real life, where camera and video etc. work?
Yes - it is Motorola that should answer my first questions. I don't expect any answer from them... But others might have a comment...

All 64bit roms will have the camera issue as Motorola have not released updated camera libs
The roms I listed above are the latest roms which will have the camera bug minimised but you will still experience issues in some apps like only being able to take a certain amount of photos before the app freezes, camera not working in low light, green tint, video not recording/saving and so on. You can use various other apps but nothing is perfect and you may still experience issues
The only fully functioning custom rom with no bugs will be the 32bit lineage 14.1

That is the most useful information I have yet seen about custom ROMs - thank you!
But according to https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/7-1-x-lineageos-14-1-moto-g5-t3611973 LineageOS 14.1 for Moto G5 is:
ROM OS Version: 7.1.x Nougat
Last Updated 2018-03-18
And the 'stock' OS on my Moto G5 is Android 8.1.0 updated in February 2019.
My intention was to UPgrade my OS, not DOWNgrade it... !
So THAT LineageOS 14.1 doesn't really seem relevant.
And on https://download.lineageos.org/ there doesn't seem to be a version for Moto G5(?) There are versions for G4 and G6, but not G5. (Neither under Lenovo - the actual producer.)
But thanks anyway!

Only official versions will be on the lineageos website
There is no difference between an official and unofficial version except the official versions are built on the lineage servers every week with any lineage side changes (not device side unless merged by maintainer)
However official versions have to meet certain criteria in terms of everything that works in stock rom must work in the unofficial lineage build submitted to become official.
As the camera doesn't work as it does in stock in lineage 17.1 it will never become official in its current state
They are listed under Motorola because that is the company that makes the phones
Lenovo is the parent company that owns Motorola

Thank you.
But I am not 100% sure about whether you are confirming that the stock ROM on Moto G5 is the newest available Android OS version where everything works?

Stock rom will be the latest os version where everything works 100%
All 64bit custom roms have camera issues due to no updated propriety sources

That's sad.
So when I want to buy a phone in the future:
Which other smart phone brands will probably not leave their customers with 'a choice between plague or cholera'...?

Samsung will have the most community support as they are the most popular phones
Google pixel will obviously have longevity
Xiaomi might be the best budget choice other than later Motorola models
Hi. I want to try to build lineage os 17/18 for my old phone. I have env and I already build package for other phone. For Nexus 4 there and only some old lineage os 15 builds. How to prepare lineage os 18 based on lineage os 15? Is it possible or maybe it needs to be done from scratch. Is there any instruction how to do this?
Porting a ROM means there's a similar device with a working LineageOS on it. Which means it's already built, and only small modifications to make it stable for you.
Porting doesn't work the way you described. You can't build Android 12 on top of Android 8, every new major Android update, Google releases a new source code.
Then, manufacturers/developers modify it to their sweets. What you want to do is to build LineageOS 18/17 for an unsupported device. There's a lot of guides online about it. The context matters.
Can you share some links about building lineage os for unsupported devices? Will it help somehow when there are some old versions builds?
Hi and welcome to this thread. Most A50 users really wants custom roms based in AOSP but sadly, we can only find One UI based roms here. Here is the solution. GSIs. How do they work? All android devices shipped with android 9 and above should/can boot specially made AOSP so that they can ship with google apps and phhusson and other developers found a somewhat similar aosp build and used it to build what the so called GSI roms. Now because our device shipped with android 9, it should boot aosp. But there are some caveats. Bluetooth calling, hotspot, nfc and others are just some of them. But luckily, individual developers strives hard to patch this caveats and support more devices.
How to install GSIs:
Make sure you are in either one ui 2/2.1/2.5/3.1(I suggest one ui 2.x because you can ise android 10 and 11 based GSIs while One ui 3 users canm only use android 11 GSIs)
All GSIs you will download from the internet will either come from .zip, .xz and .img. We need the latter one. If you have other than .img, just extract it.
Flash twrp for your device
Go to INSTALL
Press Flash image in lower right
Find the .img file
Flash as SYSTEM FILE
reboot to recovery(if you want root)
If you want gapps just go back to recovery and flash your gapps(opengapps ,mindthegapps, etc)
For the list of tested GSIs for a50, here they are(most of them are found in [https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/treble-enabled-device-development-a-ab-roms.7260/] [https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...c-System-Image-(GSI)-list#official-android-11] and [https://www.recovery-mode.com/tag/gsi-rom-for-a50] I suggest you visit the forum and gsi there)

This is Lineage OS
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS GitHub repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit Gerrit Code Review.
