I installed crDroid on OP7T and although it does support more features than LineageOS, from my experience it doesn't appear to be in the category of a deGoogled OS, such as LineageOS even though that is the OS it was derived from.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I found A12 smoother,and kosp very good.

I'm hoping to install LineageOS 15.1 on my Huwaei Mate SE. I have already unlocked it and installed the oreo TWRP. Is it possible to just install the honor7X version of the treble lineageOS rom, or do I have to do something else?
Edit: I've also seen the openkirin lineageOS v4. Is there a different between that and the Treble lineageOS?

OpenKirin's LineageOS v4 is a treble rom, installed through fastboot ONLY.
Do NOT use TWRP to install!
Their LineageOS v4 is very good and stable, but does not support VOLTE, and the camera app locks up on portrait and wide aperture mode. Because of these bugs, I went back to stock emui and will definitely try the next OpenKirin update.
I recommend you the Pixel Experience Rom from the Treble forums, for me is the best rom available, im so far very happy with it. Even though is not in the same level of other roms in terms of customizations it is also way less buggy than them. I would put battery life in the same level as stock while performing better. Ofc no Volte support but i dont think any rom besides stock does Volte so.
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

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 see Lineage is now official for ginkgo/willow devices, which is great.
What I am wondering is if anyone has tried the MicroG Lineage OS build (https://download.lineage.microg.org/ginkgo/ released 2020-10-14)?
I don't have a RN8 anymore, but this could really get me back to it...

Hi and welcome to this thread. Most A50 users really wants custom roms based in AOSP but sadly, we can only find One UI based roms here. Here is the solution. GSIs. How do they work? All android devices shipped with android 9 and above should/can boot specially made AOSP so that they can ship with google apps and phhusson and other developers found a somewhat similar aosp build and used it to build what the so called GSI roms. Now because our device shipped with android 9, it should boot aosp. But there are some caveats. Bluetooth calling, hotspot, nfc and others are just some of them. But luckily, individual developers strives hard to patch this caveats and support more devices.
How to install GSIs:
Make sure you are in either one ui 2/2.1/2.5/3.1(I suggest one ui 2.x because you can ise android 10 and 11 based GSIs while One ui 3 users canm only use android 11 GSIs)
All GSIs you will download from the internet will either come from .zip, .xz and .img. We need the latter one. If you have other than .img, just extract it.
Flash twrp for your device
Go to INSTALL
Press Flash image in lower right
Find the .img file
Flash as SYSTEM FILE
reboot to recovery(if you want root)
If you want gapps just go back to recovery and flash your gapps(opengapps ,mindthegapps, etc)
For the list of tested GSIs for a50, here they are(most of them are found in [https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/treble-enabled-device-development-a-ab-roms.7260/] [https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...c-System-Image-(GSI)-list#official-android-11] and [https://www.recovery-mode.com/tag/gsi-rom-for-a50] I suggest you visit the forum and gsi there)

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS GitHub repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit Gerrit Code Review.

Actually even I was thinking of graphene os but saw this -Why graphene os can't be build & Is there grapheneos compatible device possible with off the shelf hardware like raspberry pi?
There has been an attempt to build grapheneos for an OnePlus device but i remember the project got stopped as they could not really build it and there are people who have successfully build calyxos for poco devices for example poco X3 pro
Ah, it's sad.
So I will try for Calyx os then for sure.
You can join my group for more updates

I wish I could be possible because few people did try to port/build grapheneos but they failed to do it.
Btw there's also an option rather than building calyxos or grapheneos, i heard sebaubuntu(dev) is going to release lineageos soon so if he releases the vanilla build which he probably would of he's going to release it officially, we could install microg, f-droid, aurora store, signal, we do have to root out devices for it though
SparkOs has features of GraphenOs in the vanilla version, such as Sandbox.

So I did try sparkos and sadly there's no security features of graphene os that I can use only thing you could use is it's camera.
One good update for the people who wanted to de-google their phone (not really)
One of f4's respected developers 'masarou' is building lineageos 20.0 for munch
and will release a vanilla build of it as soon it gets stable, when the build gets released you guys can install vanilla build of it and then can install
* microg for secure google services experience
* Aurora Store, fdroid for app downloads
* Briar for messaging
* Orbot for enhancing security
* Bromite, Tor Browser for browsing
I'm not familiar with CalyxOS, but for those who want the AOSP experience sans Google, you can run an AOSP GSI. The packages with "GMS" in the title have Gapps; they do have some Vanilla flavors available as well.

Basically calyxos is an rom which is based on security the rom is fully de-googled so that Google can't spy on you and many more useful security features which you won't get in other roms you could search it on Google/YouTube and know what it is in depth

It seems like you could get this from a bare vanilla AOSP build, such as the Android Continuous Integration builds. These are pure AOSP - no Google anything added.
I mean yeah I do am using a vanilla build of lineageos and I have the same features as calyx.
Btw I did have tried the pure Android too that also was great but cause of no customisation i deleted it.
Btw thanks for showing interest
