Treble for cedric - Moto G5 Questions & Answers

Is the g5 capable of supporting treble images, or will it be? Such support would fix the lack of updates for the g5 on pretty much every current rom for it.

There's a source code for it from the same people that developed lineage os for this device
No idea if it works or the status - you will just have to wait and see if it's released
Source code is

Miui 8 is marshmallow - the sources are available but seeing as this device comes with stock nougat & has no marshmallow sources I don't see the point
Miui 9 is nougat but seeing as we are now on oreo I doubt anyone will bother & seeing as they haven't released the source code I doubt you will see it on this device unless someone can adapt it from another device but from my point of view it's not worth it as it's already outdated

yes,miui 9 source code is not available but cant we port from same specs device like redmi 3s/prime?it already have both nougat and miui 9...and,also,i think,that instead porting tons of almost same oreo roms would be nice if you port one miui 9..because miui is something different
There is a rom for Moto G5 plus you can search in xda and you will be able to get . But there is no Miui rom for Moto G5s plus Sanders.
If anyone gets... please share with all

It is not same as redmi 3s prime but it is same as MI A1 as per hardware comparison.
Only difference is camera, screen size front flash as per my finding.

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

(Find 7 is dead?) Development for Oppo Find 7 terminated?

So I searched some things and hopefully this will clear your doubts.
I'll be going through every popular ROM for this device.
Its been 4 months since OmniROM Oreo build and I truly believe that there will not be any more of OmniROM for the Find7 as there has been no changes in the repo. I am thankful for all the support the devs provided for this device for past 2-3 years. This and Nameless were two ROMs that supported LVMs.
I am also positive that NamelessROM is dead as well (even though the dev said he's working on it 30 weeks ago https://plus.google.com/+AlexanderMartinz/posts/N1Fmfc25iks there has been no changes in its source since a year approximately. Also, he's a bit secretive when asked to disclose his progress of ROMs.
AICP devs have already deleted all the Find7 ROM zip files from their website (http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=find7). No changes in the source after Dec 2017 either (https://github.com/AICP/device_oppo_find7).
ResurrectionRemix ROM is dead for Find7 as well. They are busy making 8.1 ROMs for OP5T.
MokeeROM and LineageOS 14.1 are still active for 7.1.2. As we all know, none of them support LVM/Unified storage.
Our only hope LineageOS 15.1, is still in development. I've seen its changlog and they seem to be working on it.
(I'm referring to the device specific changlogs - https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_oppo_msm8974 and https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_oppo_common.
crDroid will make a build only after LineageOS 15.1 is released. As of now they've put the device into "dropped" categories (https://plus.google.com/108033353751385883417/posts/V1MAec8qN1D).
Oppo Find 7
If I'm being honest, I've been running 2.1.5 color os and its been working fine for the past 3 years. I've tried custom roms but they just don't tend to work whether that's with the LVM or other features.
The phone itself is still an amazing phone even in 2018 especially the camera! :good:
I mean tell me one thing this phone cannot do?
The main reason why I personally think they have stopped giving support to mobile phones is because of the money that they are spending on advertisement especially in India where the entire Indian cricket team has OPPO labelled on their jersey. But, also the amount of advertising money they have spent to make the brand more aware in ASIA/Europe.
As for the OPPO Find 7 in my opinion is still one of the flagship device on the market.
I am looking for a new rom and a new battery but I can't find something. Also the oppo Europe community has been deleted from website..
still okay

Rest In Peace Oppo Find 7 - March 2014-2018
Now if you're like me and want to buy a device that has a great development community, don't ever buy Oppo again. The company demonstrated many innovative solutions and features in their older devices such as Find series and the N series but as of now they're completely against any third party development for their devices. They don't release sources like they used to (especially camera blobs) and want to focus on copying other brands.

Thank you very much for your comprehensive interesting summary. I did not know Oppo switched to consumer unfriendly mode. I am going to rethink buying an OP 5. Although I have to admit a Find 7a with omni 7.1.2. is running just fine, maybe another one or two years.

AOKP is still on, but nougat http://aokp.co/devices/find7
Is this AOKP work on Find 7a or its only for 7? Also are there any instructions on how to install it? Now i have 2.1.5i ColorOs with Supersu root installed. Can i have magisk instead?
Oppo cut off all international activities and projects because OnePlus now handles it for them. They know that Oppo and ColorOS can't appeal to the international market, which is why OnePlus has the whole stock android thing (and why OnePlus isn't very active in China. Oppo handles that side of the market).
I'm still hoping on Lineage btw.
My telephone rest here in front of me....
Still have Omnirom 6 with stock camera and other stuff....works like a champ!
But now i have a Mi NOte 3 to play.....still, Oppo was my best phone ever!

That doesn't mean much either. My Nexus hasn't seen any device specific change for a while now, still I'm confident that development is still going on.
I looked on Gerrit and Find7 has been promoted to 15.1, so fingers crossed the next build (tmr) is Oreo.

temp fix if you can't flash any LOS15.1 based rom:
in file : META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
remove the first a few lines started with ASSERT. They are checking if the zip is actually for the device. but the twrp we have for Chinese unified partition can't handle the check properly. just remove the check, and you will have oreo 8.1.

using PC, unzip the downloaded file, go to crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180409-find7-v4.1.zip/META-INF/com/google/android/, open updater-script with a text editor, make the change, save the file, re-zip. then flash the new zip file.

Few questions XZ2c regarding Treble-Support

Hi all, im tempted to buy this XZ2 Compact as a secondary phone (LG V30 as main)
but i just got a couple questions befor im buying it:
Is this device part of the official Treble-Project devices? (so no need to make vendor partition myself etc etc..)
can i unlock bootloader on pie (if it already has official pie)? (dont really care for DRM as im not a camera person.)
if the above bootloader question is false answer; can i unlock bootloader on oreo then upgrade to pie? (to update vendor partition for pie GSI's (if treble supported)
Thanks in advance.

this is a A/B device, so yes it has treble, don't know if official or not, but I think it is a regular treble-phone
PIE is official, but you can't officially unlock on PIE at the moment, so you have to unlock while running oreo, then update to pie

Hi! I'm curious: Have you or has anyone else tried a GSI on the XZ2 Compact? On this Github page (1) it says the camera isn't working at all. Can anyone confirm or deny? I'm interested in getting the phone, but wouldn't if the camera doesn't work with GSIs.
(1) github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Sony-Xperia-XZ2-and-XZ2-Compact
Sorry, can't post links yet.
I have not tested a GSI, but as far as i can say, it depends on the aosp source from Sony devs.
And afaik the Sony devs pushing updates for the camera to their aosp code, which hopefully lead into a working cam in the next few releases.
But i think @MartinX3 is the more experienced guy related to this topic.

I never feel experienced enough :silly:
As far ass i know, only the sony aosp works with the Q GSI, because Q needs a new treble level.
It splits the sepolicy.
The sony aosp & its OEMv7 blobs are compatible with it.
I am not sure if the PIE stock rom has it.
But I think they will only implement it with stock Q in combination with a Q bootloader.

As to Treble, yes, the XZ2C supports Treble. https://thedroidguru.com/list-project-treble-supported-android-devices/
The bootloader is supposedly unlockable (and Sony's dev site provides for it), although I cannot comment on the consequences of doing so, such as the DRM issues with the camera.

Question [A52s] possibility to install GSIs (like the 13 dev beta)?

Hey guys, I noticed that G released the GSIs for the dev preview/beta of 13. Would it be possible to install this on an A52s 5G?

Then are you a developer ???

The whole idea of treble and GSIs is to have an easier way to push updates of android to multiple devices while having to rely less on manufacturers and their cooked rom (General System Image, serperated from all the manufacturer drivers/bloatware/android flavours which ideally should be in /vendor/)
And yes I am a dev of sorts, albeit inactive/without project right now
