These kind of questions are frowned upon in xda
Please read the thread of the roms (yes I know it takes time bla bla bla but its the only way you will learn how to do things and what is happening with the rom) - it lists all the features and what is working and what needs fixing.
Most customs roms for moto g5 are based on linage os - so any bugs that has will also be in the rest

Noobish question, but how does an Official build differ from an Unofficial? IE, CM12 vs DU, is DU considered Official because it is unaltered AOSP?

if i'm not mistaken, official builds are done and maintained by a group member from the developing team of any given rom. Unofficial builds are done by any member who does not belong to the developing team and who decides to build any given rom. Also i believe that any lines of code used are not officially submitted and supported and any support would have to be done by the unofficial rom builder and not the developing team.
hope this makes sense and helps in any way.

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation
My last phone was running CM 7.3 Gingerbread, so please bear with my noobness. I'm not big on flashing new ROMs. I like to find a daily driver and run with that.
Right now, I'm trying to decide which ROM to try after stock. I'd like to get rid of a lot of the bloatware and gain more customization. I've heard great things about your ROM in the past on other phones, so am leaning towards it.
Things I absolutely want:
HDMI/Slimport out. I don't know if this feature is ROM specific, or if the G3 does it automatically thru hardware. It works great on stock.
LG's IR Controller apps. I like that the G3 has the IR feature. I have it programmed to replace all my remotes currently.
I'm with MetroPCS. They use TMobile's towers. Should there be any problems (I haven't seen anything on this in search for the 851 and don't think it would be, but thought I could ask people smarter than I).
Do those features work on your ROM? If not, does anyone know what ROMs those features/apps are functioning?

Do not ask about other ROMs, this is NOT the thread for that, flash and find out, you don't like it? Uninstall it, it's simple. Also, regarding asking about if d851 supports METRO, ask the carriers, not in this, this is for the ROM questions, nothing else, please keep the OT to the minimum
Oh, I am sorry. I thought I was in the Q&A thread, not the developer section. Oh wait, I am.
I apoligize for asking about other ROMs... but asking about this specific ROM in it's specific Q&A thread?
Yeah. Replies like yours will definitely keep a lot of stuff to a minimum. Keep up the good work.

freezes
For some reason it freezes when doing heavy task. For example on the web or listening to music it freezes and the system slows down to the point where lock screen takes about a minute to lock. A simple reboot fixes the problem. I am coming off a Clean flash but stock kernel.
Anyone have any luck with using a slimport out to HDMI on this ROM?
Just checking...
I've got a Lg G3 D851 (32GB) but its not the T-mobile version. Does this still mean that I can flash this rom? Or is there anything else I should do?
Can't wait to use this rom so reply as soon as you can people.

What you just said made no sense, if its a d851, its T-Mobile, doesn't matter what carrier its on, its the T-Mobile version

I'm kinda new to all this so please don't mind the 'noob' questions. I was under the impression that its not a TMO version if it doesnt say T-Mobile on the phone. :silly: Thank you though, will flash rom right away.
One more question... Is this a stable version of the rom or a test version? Cuz I couldn't figure out which one it is; stable or test version.

its not worth the typing but official says it all....
Bluetooth...
Just installed the rom and its awesome. Just one problem, the Bluetooth doesn't seem to be working properly. Can't connect my smartband. Whenever I try to turn off Bluetooth I get an error saying that Bluetooth has stopped working. Any solutions?

The only reason it would be doing that is if you dirty flashed from another ROM

Nope... I'm 100% sure I did a clean install. Did a clean install again for a second time around 30 minutes ago... still no luck.
It's probably a BT LE device. If you read the last page or two of Bliss Pop or Resurrection you'll see they have issues. Probably something in the base code. I know the Bliss Pop dev says he might have a fix but hasn't released an update.

Is there any stable kernel for Moto g5 (Cedric) such as squid, etc? I checked the radium kernel but the thread is closed and it seems like still beta...

Any available kernels will be in the Dev section
Anything else from any other places cannot be discussed on xda without full kernel source disclosures
Roms come with kernels in the rom zip - unless you know what you are doing its best to stick with them

Message to developers - Please update ROMs

AOSP extended and Resurrection Remix we have is outdated now, please update it. There are lots new feature in newer builds. I hope someone do it. Please make it stable too, I really want to use these ROMs as daily driver. The only reason I'm using stock ROM is due to stability but AOSP we have by Alberto is stable as hell too. And AOSP is the only one I find stable to use as daily driver but it lacks features as in AOSP extended or Resurrection Remix.
So please if anyone can update these ROMs and make them stable I'd be very happy and i think whole community would be happy too.
If this is too much to ask then you can ignore me. I know it takes time and resources to build a stable ROM and not many devs are working on MZP and this device is getting old too. But at least make a last stable ROM with full of features as in AOSP extended or Resurrection Remix. I think Moto has already given up on this phone as we don't have any new security update either.
Thank you.

How can you say that when Android 8.0 w/April 2018 security patch was recently released for the Moto Z Play?

Yes, I want to but unfortunately I don't have resources to do that. A 8-core computer and a fast internet with no data cap. These main things are the one that stopping me. I don't have much knowledge of coding but I've learned how to compile rom from the internet but still I need resources.

We already have 2 major updates as all Moto phones have gotten in the past. Considering the following trend, I don't think we'll get another major update maybe one or two security updates but it's still not confirmed. And this is just my assumption, if we're lucky we might get Android P.

How about you update them yourself or have some patience? Developers aren't here to cater to your needs. Most developers do this as a hobby and only choose to share the fruits of their labor. Show some courtesy.

I already said that I don't have resources to compile one otherwise I'd be making lots of ROMs. And I'm not forcing anyone just asking. I already wrote in the post to ignore me if this is too much to ask. Don't get the wrong idea, I'm asking for update because other phones like Redmi Note 4 is having same chipset but it's constantly updated with newer builds. I was just wondering if devs "would like to" update MZP custom ROMs too. I am trying to Port some ROMs from RN4 to MZP as this is the only thing I can do with my crappy PC. I want to make a contribution too if possible. Again I'm not forcing anyone just asking. Sorry if you think asking for ROMs is bad too.

What is the best Bug-Free Rom?

Hello guys,
1st of all I want to thank every participant in this forum and to those who keeps updating our beloved m8 from day one until now ,
2nd I have tried so many roms from GPE to official/unofficial Sense to lineage based roms and so on but I have never ever stick to any rom because i see a bug in every rom that makes me say to my self "Hmm , it is a nice rom but i will change it because of … Bla bla " so i just want to hear/see from your experience here what is the best bug-free rom, even though if it may need some additions like custom kernel or whatsoever …. and thanks in advance <3
Stock sense is the closest to being bug-free, seeing as it's official software from htc. Gpe rom should be the same case. Stock based roms should be fairly good too.

Need help choosing a stable AOSP rom...

I'm new to RN8P world, and don't have time to test all roms from this forum.
Actually i'm on stock MIUI 12.5.5, unlocked bootloader, but I heard this device bricks easily, so I don't have time to fix mistakes...
I need help and tips from you guys to choose the more stable AOSP rom for RN8P, I'm counting on you

I want to squeese more RAM and I don't like MIUI too much, I feel spyed...
Then i will suggest some from my experience:
- For customize: AncientOS and Nusantara are good for me
- For camera: If your phone is India one, LineageOS GSI from Timjosten is the best, based on Q-Oss and use Miui Cam with it feature (not ANX)
- For battery/perfomance: Try some custom kernels and find out with are the best for you
- For A11 with A12 exprerience: DotOs A11 is good
- For A12: not stable, but some can use at daily rom (AncientOS), some other A12 roms has some other bugs, Bluetooth issue.... And mostly screen recorder won't work by defauft, need to install other app or do something idk.
- And some other roms with their special you need to flash to find out.
- AOSP has some random bugs. And it's good for me doesn't mean it's good for you. Maybe just flash and find out with one suitable.
- If you dont know where to find these roms and their flash guide, you can try type Redmi note 8 pro Official or Update on Telegram. Idk why they drop many updates and new roms in XDA
