But the problem is not in the android version now all ROMs of this phone are the same and miui is something different and has a lot of features to give a different experience than AOSP ROMs
Sorry for my bad English

I always loved MIUI, bad luck there was only one device that I had the opportunity to try MIUI ROM, back in 2011, with my old LG Optimus One p500.
Would love to see MIUI in MotoG5

There´s no oxygen ROM for the lg g3 since it is an exclusive ROM for the One Plus and it´s developed by their company, and i haven´t really seen any port for this device, the closest Oxygen experience you can get is a AOSP ROM like Resurrection Remix ROM or CM12 of curse that each one of them have their own features but you can check them on the ROM tab for the LG G3

Well dude the G3 development is extremely slow, and you say, why you say that. Many others devices more older than G3 have p roms not free of bug but enough stable for dayli driver for example motorola devices, xiaomi and many others, if you go and check the lineage Os Page you can see there's no single Lg that have official support for lineage 15.1, even an older device like g3 have 8.1 through Crdroid and is smooth and stable at least for my device D851 variant. So conclusions the G3 development is practically dead, thanks to God for the devs that continue with the development, you know slow but is better than nothing.

REQUEST AospExtended ROM V5.7 DEV

I am gonna ask a few dev to support the AEX 5.7 Treble and future version.
The rom is well optimized whit extended dark theme engine.
Fast smoot whit no bugs.
We already have the LOS 15.1 and the RR OREO.
But AOSP is wat better then LOS base roms.
My last phone was Xaiomi Redmi Note 4 and i use AEX 5.7 on him whit gcam.
The phone was purfect.
The only thing the phone is missing was the amoled screen.
So i will ask nicly the devs @rahulsnair, @davidsonsjesus and more attention to @dlproject because he support already two roms.
I am asking nicly.
To see that this great rom have only 4 custom roms is little sad.
Thank you devs.

Let me understand, do you want AEX on your device? Do you have a Moto Z2 Play?
I already build some versions of AEX, but I stopped for not having time to maintain 3 roms (ToxycOS, Resurrection Remix, and AEX). Btw, I think it's even unnecessary.
Why do you ask for treble? Do you even know what's its purpose?
Perhaps if one genuinely wants something, they might figure out themself. If you want it really, really bad enough

Can u help me in unlocking?
My phone is not detecting in mi unlock tool
Based on Pie: Pixel experience Extended
Based on MIUI: Masik or Revolution OS
Based on Oreo 8.1: AOSIP
Just use pixel experience. With the latest update, its good man!
On MIUI side, I can say EU rom
AOSiP Oreo is pretty good.
Using Bootlegger 3.0, it's stable too
RevolutionOS (AOSP or MIUI)
If you like customization:
For pie: PE Extended (Most Stable out of all pie based roms imo), MSM Xtended
8.1: Resurrection Remix, AOSP Extended I liked the most for customization and stability
MIUI based: Masik X
Roms without lots of customization bt stable:
9.0: Pixel Experience
8.1: LineageOS 15.1, Pixel experience
What is the most stable nd customizable MIUI based rom?? (Revolution OS/Masik/miui EU/miui HP/miui PRO)
i like MIUI 10 eu, they dont change system UI like other MIUI based roms,, its faster and smoother than stock MIUI and it has unlocked features from other regions, i tried revolution os and one other and they both mess with system UI elements which doesnt look so good at all, but if you want many customization options, than you can try revolution os, from others i tried, AOSP 8.1 based is best AOSiP, Pie based roms are not ready for daily usage for me, google didnt even finished developement on android 9 and has some bugs, but if you would like then Pixel Experience is way to go

Pixel Experience also seems the best Android PIE (9) based rom at the moment.
LineageOS16 is dead, or going nowhere lack of devs.
Someone shown me a site to customize MIUI rom and remove all unwanted things like ads, etc... If you want MIUI that's seems good.
Anyway, I prefer AOSP based so PixelExperience.
Note: it's also not moving very fast, even if it's probably the most advance rom at the moment.
For Pie: MC-AOSP the best Pie Rom ever
For Miui: Revolution OS

Confused: Why 32bit only OS on Moto G5 64bit hardware?

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

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?

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
