MirrorLink

Anyone know if 5X supports MirrorLink?
If it's not supported is it something that could be enabled via custom kernel?
Any luck with this?

Project Treble Support?

Hi, just recently purchased this device through T-Mobile. Figured it was a great deal on a device with an actual unlockable bootloader from a carrier. Updated to 8.0 and noticed there's no Treble support. Does anyone know why this is? It's odd since this is one of the few devices that already utilizes the A/B slots for updates. I'm guessing Moto doesn't use a vendor partition? Is there any other reason why they wouldn't implement Treble support? And is there anything we can do on our end to try and encourage or enable support (doubting enabling since I don't think there's a vendor partition)? Just looking for more info on the situation.
Thanks

Project Treble support?

So the people on the Moto Z forum have managed to get semi-working treble support, basically it requires using a script (namely Capire Le Treble)to convert Generic System Images (GSI) to Device Specific System Images (DSSI) in order to boot those since it does not have a /vendor partition. I wonder if something similar can be achieved on our device.
Not sure, though it's likely to be possible.
CodeZero has already got the moto g5 to boot with project treble but it only boots (nothing else works)
You can ask him or check his github to see if he is still working on it
Most guys here bricked their G5s

Question about android p [Semi-GSI] vendor partition

Hi guys, i tryed to install the android p preview
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...m-android-p-developer-preview-t3816659/page29
Moto g5 is in the list of compatible devices

It tells that i need to mount "vendor" in twrp, but it doesn't appears
I want to ask you if it was for the TWRP version or i need a system that supports that option or tell me how can i enable vendor option

I presume vendor would be for project treble enabled devices
You would need a twrp that had project treble support - I did notice on github the source for a project treble twrp for this device (from the same guy that did lineageos 15.1)
Im sure if he gets it working he will release it or you can compile it yourself and try

The honor v20 supports treble however honor hasn't enabled it.
And emui 9.1 is in beta stage not magic UI 2.1 (skin of emui 9.1 which is what the honor view 20 is set to get in may)

From where did you get it?
All devices launched with Oreo should support treble or else they won't get certified by Google. V20 supports treble.

I phrased it wrong.
The honor view 20 does support treble however it doesn't support treble ROMs as well as seamless updates.

Seamless updates are not much a issue. For that you need two partitions A and B which implies more ROM space is reserved for system . Only a few devices have A/B partition.
Supporting treble and being able to flash treble compatible ROMs are completely different things.. If you want to flash a treble ROM or GSI (or any custom ROM) you need to have an unlocked bootloader.. Which is officially not possible now.
You could flash a treble ROM which was signed by Honor.. But there are none which I am aware off..
