I got my Z2 Force in late January and instantly unlocked the BL, flashed TWRP and Magisk, updated to Oreo and rooted as well. I am also running the 8.0 Pantheon kernel which runs smoothly so far. I was just wondering if there has been any significant development in roms for our phone. I love the near stock android Lenovo has pushed with the device, but I am really hoping to be able to at least get Lineage OS on the device. What's the biggest hurdle so far? At what stage is the rom at? I'm not asking for an ETA just wanted to see where the development process is at. Thanks guys!
Lineage and AOSIP have unofficial builds. There are some lingering issues before it can be official and released, like needing to fastboot -w and swapping slots, Sprint doesn't have LTE, etc...
im having issues too in the roms i have tried to build it is the whole A/B partition issue and i and having issues with radios. once i have ironed out my bugs i will try to release a rom that is Resurrection remix built but i still will need to make it moto mod compatible and that is a whole different story as i haven't even gotten to that part yet. stay tuned we are working on it for your guys.
WE LOVE THOSE OF YOU DEVELOPING FOR THIS PHONE SO MUCH please don't stop your amazing efforts!

So the T-mobile stock rom is stuck in 4.4 as we all know and I wanted to know if another rom would make it faster or slower? Which would be the best rom for performance and what OS 6.0, 7.0, or 5.0 is generally better. Also, battery life is a concern
Similar concern, how are last builds of cm 13? I know 7.0 is in flux with transition to lineageos. But I'm about to pull the trigger on a used s4 to be my new daily driver. It's the most compact GSM phone with relatively modern specs and good custom ROM support
Any input greatly appreciated
The last build of CM is rather stable and has proved to be the most reliable for daily use. AlaskaLinuxUser seems to be the only remaining active dev for the M919. He recently mentioned that he will continue to support the (currently 7.1.1) AOKP rom, which for the time being is the only actively maintained Android N rom for our obscure variant of the S4. It is rather stable but there are a few quirks. If we are lucky, an official Lineage 14 build will be made available soon. I wouldn't count on it though!

im getting random reboots on aokp, what is the best aosp rom for s4 rn? (nougat or otherwise?)
Same here, I've had several issues with 7.x.x roms and rather dreadful battery life. I would recommend the final build of CM 13 as a stable OS until some milestones are met.
I just wanted to know which ROM and which kernel you are running on your OnePlus 5T?
I just bought the OnePlus 5T and I'm comparing all available ROMs and kernels right now. At the end, I hope to use LineageOS 15.1 and Franco kernel but for the time being I'm looking for a custom ROM and a custom kernel to get me through the day. Also, I guess I'm preferring Nougat for Xposed just for now as I'm so unsure about LineageOS 15 Unofficial and OmniROM 8.0/8.1 as no official software for Oreo has been made available as of now. I don't know how stable they really are.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys
Running stock 4.7.5 , unlocked+root (Magisk), blu_spark kernel r69
Just got my device 2 days ago, so I'm sticking with stock for a while now.
OOS w/ frankenkernel....I like everything to function correctly so for now sticking with stock rom
Stock rooted 4.7.5, blu,_spark kernel. Keeping up with the development section though so once something is actually stable, maybe I'll switch. To be honest I only want a custom ROM at this point for proper Substratum theming

I've been running OmniROM 8.1 for the past couple weeks. Very stable (never crashed or froze up once) and has great battery life! Stock kernel since there are no stable kernels for the 5T on 8.1.
Magisk v14, Android Pay working great. Themed with Flux and Swift Dark, running Product Sans as my font.
FreedomOS
Using FreedomOS 2.1 [7.1.1] and very happy with it. Used Tool all in one to unlock bootloader and install TWRP. Then installed FreedomOS. Everything went very smoothly. Everything seems to work and battery life is excellent (at least compared to my old Moto X Pure).
I am getting tired of custom roms breaking every other month for me, and I just want something stable. Has treble actually done anything to help in this regard? Can I just download Android 8.1 treble without any modifications and expect it to work right out of the box, or is it wishful thinking?

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
I'm relatively new to custom roms, but after reading quite a bit of documentation I managed to flash my Galaxy S5 with Lineage OS 17.1 without issue.
Was looking into flashing my Galaxy tab 8.0 T310 with Lineage, but I'm having difficulties figuring out which version to download, I've heard some people say 14.1 lags, others say it's fine, same thing goes for the more rare Lineage 16 builds.
I guess my question is simply, which version should I try out? What has worked for you?
