Is there any developer porting or has it already behaved the ROM MIUI 8.1 for the G5 cedric? If no one dev is porting, how can I start to port this rom?
Does anyone care to port it?
Miui use Android 6.0 and moto g5 use 7.0 you can't port this Rom

Unless You're talking about the patchrom, I believe that MIUI 8 is possible with Android 7.0 (Mi 6 running MIUI 8 released with Android 7.1.1)

- We can't use patchrom because our device doesn't have marshmallow.
- We can't port miui because our device supports 32-bit, devices with miui support 64-bit.
Either way, unless patchrom gets released for nougat, we have no chance.

Isn't cedric's processor 64bit, but motorola uses 32bit android?
Does motorola shipping it with 32bit software limits custom roms to 32bit?

yes, motorola ships it with 32 bit software.
So I'll start this off by saying I haven't used the official version of Pie, due to having an unlocked bootloader, and can't find a download so I can install manually. But here's my question:
I know the G6 Play supports 64-Bit, so are any of the Pie ROMs available on this phone 64-Bit? I'm currently using the Descendant GSI, and its 32. I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a 64-Bit version of Pie, if one even exists.

There is no 64bit rom available unfortunately. It would require someone building a rom specifically for our device compared to a gsi image. One can exist if someone decides to build a rom that is able to use the 64bit architecture but that alone would be a hassle not including already building one for the device in general. before this device got it's own forum this question was asked and answered way better than I can answer it lol
there's no relations between having an unlocked bootloader and not updating to pie, just as a note. as long as your phone is on stock stat, with no modifications, just go and upgrade.
After scattering through a tonne of content on the internet and flashing multiple ROMs on my moto z2 play, I found AOSP extended GSI of android PIE and I am using it right now as my daily driver. It works 9/10 Anyone can daily drive it as long as you are not concerned about passing SafetyNet. However, while I was digging for some ROM that would officially support my z2 play(albus), I noticed one thing that Motorola Moto G5 Plus has a lot of support amongst custom roms. I may be missing some points cause I haven't been into flashing roms since some years now and I recently came back to the whole scene but is there a way that I can run a Custom rom (like Evolution X) on my albus using the build meant for Motorola Moto G5 Plus? Both of these phones have extremely similar specs and dimensions. z2 play was launched on 2017 June and Motorola Moto G5 Plus was launched on 2017 Feb.

According to this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/updated-guide-project-treble-gsi-t4063193
you can flash ANY GSI into the Z2 Play as long as they met these requirements:
1. Rom arch is arm64
2. Rom partition scheme is aonly
Most custom roms do not specify which partition scheme uses, in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2...droid-q-gsi-moto-z2-play-albus-t4066945/page2 the user @saibharath1319 mentions he succesfully installed Pixel Experience Plus Android 10 GSI with KVT 2.4 "without any major issues besides ambient display not working.

What he is asking and what your telling mate?? even i was searching for the same question moto g5 plus has tremendous support and both the devices are totally identical ? can someone give it a try?
Bro do you even read? The short answer is no, you can't simply flash sanders ROMs or any other, to albus. Unless they are GSI's.
If you don't have any idea what I'm talking about. Then google it.
If you are coming from Stock Pie Update make sure you use the modem file (non-HLOS.bin) from Stock Oreo because the modem from Stock Pie has audio issues with custom ROMs.
I have been around many threads, forums and videos, but I really feel confused to flash my Moto G6 w/ a custom ROM.
I have seen that I could install custom roms with android 8, 9 and also 10. The thing is, that information feels to be spreaded in pieces and makes it very confusing.
1. I know of course, you can flash a Custom ROM in Moto G6 Play, with android 8 and 9.
2. I know there's also a few ways to flash android 10.
3. I know it has been hard to put all this information in one place.
4. There are few custom roms tested as in this link.
What do I have to do exactly if I want android 10, in my moto g6 play with root?
What does GSI really means?
Also, I have stock android 9 and root.
Hey guys, i'm with a little trouble here. The update for Moto G7 Play to Android 10, it's a 32 bit os or 64 bit os? With the "new" directives of Google to only accept 64 apps in Store, there'll be some troubles with 32 bits os, right?

* I'm running Android 10 right now. It is still 32bit. Motorola has never updated a device to 64bit, with the exception being, this one time that they accidentally made 64bit source code temporarily available for the Moto G5.
* The new directive from Google requires apps that were 32bit, to also provide a 64bit version now.
* Arm32 support isn't scheduled to be dropped until at least 2022.

Soooo, no 64bit OS for Play. Maybe in G7 or G7 power? And if it has 64bit OS for them, maybe an port for us?
"The new directive from Google requires apps that were 32bit, to also provide a 64bit version now." - I'm asking because i'm a Pokémon Go player, and Niantic will cease 32 bit version support in August. So, i'm screwed... Thank you for the info bro"

Yep, that is correct. Aug. 2021 begins phase out of 32bit apps in the play store. 2022 drops it completely from source I believe. So after 2022 no more security updates for 32bit either.
The Moto G7, G7 Power, and G7 Plus all have a 64bit OS. If I could port from them, I would. The custom roms for those devices can be installed on the G7 Play, and they almost boot up, but we need a 64bit vendor to make it work. And I don't have the slightest clue how build it. If I could get someone to dump a raw vendor.img from either the G7 or G7 Power, it might be possible to just dd the image and make it work. We use the same chipset as those two.
There's probably like 5 people total on xda who can take an OS from 32bit to 64bit, and none of them have provided a tutorial, and none of them are interested in building for us either. It's unfortunate.

I read Niantic reversed that decision.

32-bit apps will continue to exist. The requirement is to have all 64-bit for 64-bit devices (in other words, no 32-bit apps are allowed to exist without 64-bit equivalents, so 64-bit devices will no longer be under-served by 32-bit apps).
There are too many low-end phones out there to abandon 32-bit support, at least for most developers, including Google's own apps. Maybe support for 32-bit will end sometime around 2030, but not 2022.

Has anyone been able to permanently install TWRP and root to a Q stock rom? I am currently using the new update XT1952-6_CHANNEL_T_MPCS_10_QPY30.85-18 downloaded from the lollinet servers. By the way, I recommend it for the xt1952-6 variant.
