surprisingly nobody has tried porting zte s6 rom which has the same chipset and is available with lollipop rom (32bit mind you)
the firmware is huge to download so i cant do it, also it seems the porting process has changed for lollipop based roms compared to kitkat
any brave soul want to try?
maybe @suhas.holla or @zeetherocker?
link to firmware

just tried and the link is working fine. use a PC to download it
ahh Didnt notice this. Will download tomorrow and try to port
I had tried to port CM12 from REDMI2 which had Dual sim working and same chipset
I successfully booted cm12 port from redmi2 but sim cards were not recognising. Lets see what can be done to this
and also their are many msm816 chipset ROMs which has lollipop ROM officially by manufacturer.
Bit of research found this Lollipop Kernel source 3.10.49 of ZTE S6. I think it would help to build cm12 lollipop kernel with dual sim working
KERNEL 3.10.49 - S6 Blade Lollipop MSM8939 -Snapdragon 615
http://115.231.82.103/download.zted...Lollipop_Kernel(3.10.49).tar.gz?wsiphost=ipdb
here is the new build from ZTE official site

Now thats what i am talking about, although sim on this port is also highly unlikely to work but its so cool to try out for fun sake.
Thanks suhas for trying out. and good thing you have found the kernel sources, might be just the thing we need.
hey @dumtara and @sooorajjj
could the kernel sources be any helpful?
bump @cdesai and @varun.chitre15
we have these kernel sources

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 have an asus transformer pad K018. I unlocked the bootloader and installed the Twrp V2.8.7.0
I would like to install a version of Lineageos or any other Custom ROM with more recent Android than the original.
For this tablet there are no custom Roma, but there are similar Asus, i.e. Zenfone 2 the 550ml and 551ml (but are for smartphones).
The Ardware is similar, both my tablet and the other two Zenfone 2, they mount an Intel Atom:
My K018 tablet has an Intel Atom Z2560 Dual Core CPU of 1.6GHz and graphic chip/GPU SGX544 MP2
Zenfone 2 have Intel Atom Z3580 CPU and graphic chop/GPU Powervr G6430.
I was following a guide to install Lineage OS 14.1 (Nougat 7.1.1) on Zenfone 2 where the Custom ROM is differentiated, i.e. for the ZE551ML-Z00A model and another Ze550ml-Z008.
At this point I stopped to reflect if you could put a ROM for Zenfone 2 on my tablet K018 because they are specific to the product number of the product ..
My question is: can I try to put a rom for Zenfone 2 on Tablet Asus K018, since the hardware is similar, or not (i.e. it must be a custom rom created only and only for the K018?
If I try to put Zenfone 2 Rom on Tablet K018, the tablet goes to Brick.
I touched this article:
How to build your ROM OS Lineage using the source code.
As I have already said, many developers create the Linegerom operating system is for Android device and you can download their unofficial builds. But what happens if the device is not listed in the previous list means that no ROM OS Lineage is available for the device. In this case, the last option remains to fill in its personalized rom of the Lineage operating system using the source code. However, the compilation of personalized Roma is complex and it is impossible for a person not so geek to understand the entire process ...
Thank you all for any answers.
