Updated to Lineage 19.0!
Hey man! Everything is working great as far as I can see right now. Only one big drawback is the fingerprint scanner not working on Galaxy A72. It's not that it's registered and then it's failing. You can't even register it sadly.
Any fixes soon? Or is there a workaround which I am supposed to do, that I don't know about?
Thanks!

Sorry, sadly I only own A52 which makes it really hard for me to fix it on A72.

There are some suggestions.
Google Camera does not start, crashes. On GSI it helped to turn on the vendor Q.
In the screen settings, can you add a graph of picture saturation settings?
And is it possible to add a system backup to Lineage Recovery?

1. Which version of GCam? BSG works fine for me.
2 & 3: No, such features don't exist.

Is it by any chance due to the rise kernel?

No, it shouldn't be related to the kernel.

Of course it's a pity lineage recovery won't have a backup function, it's inconvenient to flash twrp every time.
And the colour saturation setting as on oneui is missing. I don't understand why you chose LOs, there's nothing in it at all, you can't even choose colours in styles. I was sitting on GSI 12A CrDroid before your firmware, great firmware in terms of customization. Never used google services. Never used google services.
Unfortunately when upgrading to GSI v402 the phone is extremely hard to start. About 8 times on reboot out of 10, 8 times caught bootloop. And this is on any v402 firmware.
In any case your firmware is better, even without having to patch separately the boot for magisk in order to run it on 12A GSI

If you're unhappy with lineage feel free to build any other ROM on your own, the device trees are all on my Github.

Yes, it is.
tried this rom its quite unstable loads of issues, still its the only rom at the moment. I reverted to stock.
Ok this was posted in haste and a bit in irritation what I meant is simply this is not useable as stable rom,
Its unstable and has issues. This is not meant as a revieuw or judgement of said rom. Its the first and currently only one avalible and kudo's to the creator. Its listed as development. Its just a quick feedback for those like me that just like to know if its stable or not.

Would you mind telling me about the issues you experienced?
From my point of view (and from what others told me) it runs pretty stable and mostly bugless on both A52 and A72.
I have it running for weeks now as second device. Only real issue is fingerprint sensor and camera, could not find any gcam mod that would work properly. Apart for it - runs stable.

Sorry Muyst have missed this,
Also edited initial post cause it was imho blunt and to negative. Sorry about that I have nothing but respect for mod creators.
I din't extensivly test but:
Vingerprint reader but this was known.
I had some screen issues (swiping up from bottem wouln't work so couln't close apps.
pixel launcher kept crashing (yes this might not be rom related but nova launcher also had issues)
General instability possibly all related to screen.
There where some other issues but as said my intention was not to extensivly screen it the above combined with the other small issues made me decide to remove it again.
I was using lineage os 19 in my Samsung Galaxy A72. It's better than pixel plus ui rom. It has 90hz screen refresh rate. But this rom has the following bugs also:
1. Proximity sensor not working at all;
2.Fingerprint or face unlock not working;
3. No safety net pass.

It is AOSP based compared to LOS (CM) which the majority of the ROMs posted are.
DU is a great ROM. I found that it lacked some important features that I like, but a very solid ROM.

Encryption was not working, even with a full data format prior to flashing.
Any other opinions?
I have been running the weekly and official builds with nebula eas kernel for about 5 weeks or so. I personally feel its the best non-sense based ROM for my usage. It does lack some customisations most others have but makes up for it by being super stable, fast, battery friendly and just works as its supposed to with bull. I use superSU, substratum and A.R.I.S.E audio mod with selinux permissive without dramas.

It comes WITHOUT root. So you can choose your preffered method or no root at all.
I don't know about safetynet as I am not using android pay or anything that relies on it to pass.
Also I have not had any encryption issues as someone earlier replied

I've tried several combinations, with older/latest firmware.
Every time, It would ask for the encryption password on bootup.
Even if I haven't set one up.. With data format prior to installing
Anyway, got sick of re-setting apps on my phone, just installed Maximus HD ROM, and that's that ?

I think it was the DU team's decision to close all and not allow any XDA threads. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I have had that happen when switching from a sense based ROM to LOS or AOSP and it's a "pita"... Anything that I want to keep gets moved to my SD card before I reboot to recovery.
I read through several threads and tried several possible solutions so I can't remember exactly which one worked.
I am currently on Verizon, official Nougat with the flashed us unlocked "patch", TWRP 3.1.0-1. If you are on Verizon or Sprint you need to patch the image with a missing image that is found in the us unlocked model (there are threads discussing it where you can find the file).

There is a DU Oreo-based build for the HTC 10: https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/?device=pme
For the time being it is under "RC". Downloading now, will report back!
Edit: ROM is very nice and is flying by. Only downside is that camera app is VERY slow... Also, woofer is not working (as expected).
What I like the most is that it is AOSP, i.e. no LineageOS stuff like AudioFX, etc. Customisation features are nice and the experience is close to Pixel with Stock OpenGapps. If the camera app is fixed, then this would be perfect (I believe it will, since this is the first RC release)!
Further notes: Capacitive buttons backlight is off by default (can't find any standard option to turn on, maybe with a kernel tool?) and notification LED does not work either. Don't mind for the capacitive buttons too much, but the LED is a real problem.

How is the audio clarity and quality when compared to the stock ROM? I have stopped flashing any custom ROMs - be it Oreo or Pie just because of this issue. Also, could you please share the full camera version that you are currently using - is that without the Portrait mode? Also, how much screen-on time are you getting?
Hello there... this post got my interest too. I have jumped back and forth between stock and custom. It is sad "for me" that it seems most devs have given up on supporting / maintaining Oreo 8.1. Everyone is trying to iron out the bugs in a Pie custom... however, I simply want the stability to be there... especially with the camera features and battery life. I am not a gamer either, btw. With all of that said, I have a question or two please.
1. Why did you quote using an older version of Magisk? Is there a compatibility thing that I should be aware of?
2. With the Gcam mod you referenced, does stability work smoothly while recording video? I have found that in many custom builds the stability mode can be jerky and no too smooth.
TIA
Well here I am just giving muy very own personal opinión on the Best Custom Experience I have with Oreo 810 cuz roms and apps.....list is as follows:
TWRP 3210 Advanced Wipe and Select everything except of course External Sd Card...erease everything including internal Storage..we want dead that also....then select FORMAT DATA...to make sure everything is gone....
install Lineage 15.1 July Build.
OpenGapps 810 64 bits nano.
Restart and Initiate Oreo basic setup.
Install Magisk Manager APK restart to Recovery.
Install Magisk 16 Stable restart into Oreo make sure Magisk Manager does recognize Magisk 16.
Click on Vaerify Safety Net click on dowload script and validaty...it will give fail...restart to recovery.
Flash universal-safetynet-fix-v2-beta-5-magisk-v14.zip this is the one FUNCTIONING 100% TESTED BY MYSELF....restart into Oreo now.
Now if you do have corruptable App like titanium Backup install those apps and run any Backup.
Finally flash Alizee Kernel v14 for Non Treble.
For camera I have Arnova Mod test any u want works for me v6 latest Stable.
Below you can attachements as proof. Thanks!
My Oreo working Flash Perfect no Issues.
nice guide! Just wondering if the vendor image message still pops up? This usually happens after flashing the safetynet fix. I know it doesn't do anything and everything still works fine. But, for some reason it always bothered me with lineage os because, it never happend on other roms.
Yes bro it happens keep giving that vendor image error message but as you said already its fine not giving any issues at all.

Weird that it doesn't happen on other roms. Lineage seems to be the only rom having issues with magisk and safety net. Atleast it works fine even with that message. But it still bothers me for some reason. But i'm gonna save this guide because, I might need it someday

hi guys
do you think once official oreo will be released we will have more improvements on 8.1 roms? to which degree?
i waited to update until now, seeing a lot of concerns about camera and various random bugs, (been flashing lot of nasty roms quite happily, but now i feel just a tad more prudent )

As Motorola will most probably release the kernel sources/source code for our device short after the Oreo OTA it will help the developers a lot to fix all this device related bugs. So yes, it makes sense to wait for it.

I don't think that there's a way to have stock ambient display with StockROM by Motorola. However, most of the CustomROMs have this ability.

Each CustomROM that I tried had some bugs. Unfortunately, all of them had slightly disorted sound during a call in comparison with StockROM. However, these ones (mentioned below) are the best in my opinion:
7.0 - debloated stock https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/rom-debloated-optimized-t3722396
7.1.2 - LineageOS 14.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/7-1-x-lineageos-14-1-moto-g5-t3611973
I would recommend you to use this build of LOS 14.1, if you are interested https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GO7i7h1QQcD8oY3uUBr4a2u1gJzlRkzk/view. I faced a huge problem - apps like Snapchat, Instagram or Messenger started to freeze and force close randomly, but only with august 2018 build (the latest one). Reboot didn't help at all, reinstall of LOS or crashing apps fixed problem just temporarily. Flashing build from june 2018 (link mentioned in this paragraph) seems to be a permanent fix.
If you are running stock Oreo, you have to downgrade to Nougat first. Otherwise, your fingerprint scanner will not work with any Nougat based CustomROM (idk about Oreo ones ). How to downgrade a Moto device without getting hardbrick? It's simple - make sure, yours device's bootlaoder is properly unlocked. Then, flash everything except gpt and bootloader to avoid hardbrick while downgrading. Running "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2" commands wipes IMEI, so exclude them also.
8.1.0 - AOSPExtended 5.4 https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/rom-aospextended-5-0-t3710925 with Alize v10 kernel https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W9s2Wd52buDLglqOX2cEsgHTD0qWFHbv/view.
I have already tried this combination and there was no problem while taking photos and recording videos using Footej Camera.
If you decide to try this ROM with gapps installed alongside, follow this tutorial before the first boot https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/how-to-repair-bootloop-oreo-roms-t3791189. Otherwise, your phone will be stuck in bootloop.
Thank you for your comprehensive guide to custom roms
It's shame there isnt any custom rom with everything working fine. I think I will go back to Lineage 14.1 and then buy a new phone. Motos arent the same since Lenovo took them.
ProtonAOSP
Android 11 ROM
ProtonAOSP is a minimal Android fork (custom ROM) focused on UI/UX and performance, with a touch of privacy.
Screenshots
Screenshots of the latest version
Installation
This ROM is currently distributed as factory images, similar to stock. Flash it the same way you would flash stock factory images. Don't forget to wipe all data using "fastboot -w" before booting the ROM.
Firmware is included, so there is no specific requirement for which version of the stock ROM you are coming from.
You can also use the quick & easy web installer, which allows you to install and update the ROM from any computer or phone without using the command line. The installer works entirely within your web browser and completes in as little as 4 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Consider using the web installer instead of installing manually.

Looks so tempting, downloading as I type.
Quick check - for the updates in future, would we still need to wipe data before booting if already in the previous ProtonAOSP version .
Thank you for bringing love to our pixel series !
Love to know what you have changed to alter battery usage before i download it, every other 11 ROM drains like a bathtub, even at idle
According to the Pixel 5 thread this ROM passes safetynet w/o magisk. looks interesting. Downloading now!

Not booting for me. Stuck on splash screen. Clean flash of proton-aosp_taimen_11.2.0-gapps.zip on twrp-3.4.0-1-taimen then wipe data before reboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img (stock October). That booted it for me until he can update a fix. This ROM btw is phenomenal on battery life

Same, I've tried flashing/sideloading from Lineage 17 and stock P/Q/R. Stuck on splash for 10+ mins before I force reboot into bootloader to retry each time

Hello. Proton is incredible. Very fast, smooth and tenacious. Tested it from the first version. Thank you very much. I want to clarify something else for myself: Do I need to flash in both slots if a stock is installed?

Looks so tempting, downloading as I type.
Quick check - for the updates in future, would we still need to wipe data before booting if already in the previous ProtonAOSP version .
Thank you for bringing love to our pixel series !

No, you only need to wipe data if switching from another ROM.

Love to know what you have changed to alter battery usage before i download it, every other 11 ROM drains like a bathtub, even at idle

I didn't do anything specific for battery; it's just that battery tends to be better on custom ROMs than it is on Pixel 2 stock, partially due to being less bloated.

It may be like the other new 11 based ROM that turned up on here yesterday, and have its device name set to Pixel 5/5a to pass SafetyNet out of the box

Its not the way i would do it, but each to his own.

My ROM reports a fake security patch level to SafetyNet so basic attestation will always pass. However, I've observed that Google has started to roll out hardware attestation for the Pixel 2, so I also modified the model name with an invisible character to revert it back to basic. The Pixel 5 name is not used.

Sorry for the inconvenience, the problem lies in a botched SafetyNet fix that was missed in testing due to not flashing all partitions. You can make it boot temporarily by flashing the stock boot image. A hotfix that boots out-of-the-box will be up shortly.

No, ideally the latest stock ROM would be installed in both slots beforehand but that's only because this build is missing firmware. A hotfix will be up shortly with the latest firmware included.
Nice, got gpay working with magisk.
Unfortunately stuck on splash after installing edxposed. This is definitely an unreasonable request but if xposed edge features could be built natively into the rom I wouldn't need xposed

Xposed will never be supported, you are on your own if it's broken. I wouldn't recommend using it because it can cause all sorts of weird bugs.
A hotfix update has just been released to fix issues with a botched SafetyNet fix that caused most apps using HTTP outside of a browser to break, including Google Translate, SMS/MMS, and many others. I've figured out a new way to fix SafetyNet that doesn't come with those pitfalls, so SafetyNet is still passing out-of-the-box and apps will no longer break. A bug with sensitivity in the Active Edge settings has also been fixed, and missing firmware has been re-added so there is no need to flash the latest stock ROM first.
Re-download v11.2.0 from GitHub for the fixes. I've decided to re-upload it rather than bumping the version because the previous SafetyNet fix was very broken and also caused boot failures if boot.img wasn't replaced.

Great work, and thank you for the fast updates. Really looking forward to using the ROM when I clean format next time. Waiting for Google to release the last Security patch in December before making the jump, don't want to clean install every month. I usually stick with a ROM for a few months at a time.
Just to clarify if anyone is confused: this is an Android 11 ROM, not Android 10. XDA DevDB has no option for 11 so I had to put 10. I've just edited the DevDB info out of the post now and added 11 to the header so there should be no more confusion.
I am testing proton, so far its fast, snappy, and stable, one word of caution for anyone who uses my recommendations. Do not patch the boot.img as I always recommended, this landed me in a bootloop. Once I wiped the device clean, and started over (installed ROM+GAPP), then setup the device, then once setup, reboot to BL/TWRP (ADB TWRP), and installed MAGISK zip version from within TWRP, it booted fine. It only has an issue if you patch the boot.img from within MAGISK itself then ADB the boot.img. Normally this is the only method I use, but it will not work properly with this ROM (which is perfectly fine as the zip works great and passes safetynet out of the box)!
This ROM doesnt have all the goodies I am used to, BUT its a VERY decent, and stable 11 ROM so I DO recommend users to at least try it if you are looking for a decent 11 ROM. Battery life for me is on par with 10 so I do not see any major show stoppers using this as a DD. I will run it for a few days and report anything found (if anything is found), otherwise, its great.

thank you very much for your assessment! I also find this rom to be very stable, snappy and the slight changes to the stock rom are very well thought out - next to perfect! big thanks to the dev krag0n!
I'm coming from an Android 9 Custom ROM and I wanted to switch to this, the instructions states that it should just be a simple flash. Should I still start from a clean reinstall of stock Android 11 or does flashing this come with that already?

Stock has battery issues, all other 11 based ROMS ive tested have hadthe same battery issues. So i was asking in case you managed to find and fix the issue, because Google so far hasnt
I'll give it a crack anyways and see what its like, cheers

fwiw, there is no evidence that Google has or plans to force hardware attestation on Pixel 2/XL. i monitor reports of these things over in the magisk threads, and as part of my own magisk module, and theres no suggestion it will happen to Pixel 2/XL, more likely it will happen with 4+ than the old Pixel 2/XL....
Ill probably change the fingerprint back to Pixel 2/XL and Android 11, personally i dont see the point of spoofing another device when the Pixel 2/XL is still officially supported...just my opinion, no offence meant

My Pixel 2 XL has been getting hardware attestation in all of my tests recently if the model name is set to "Pixel 2 XL". It's possible that I'm being A/B tested and most users don't have this problem, but either way, I haven't been able to pass SafetyNet without changing the model name because of it.
Either way, I've added hacks into the system in my ROM to avoid spoofing the model name while still defying hardware attestation and passing SafetyNet despite being on a mismatching security patch level. I agree, I don't want to change the model name just to pass SafetyNet, so I've been coming up with other solutions to avoid doing that.
