Lineage for this device? - Moto Z2 Force Questions & Answers

As the title states. Now that we have root and an unlocked bootloader do you think lineage is will make its way to this device?

Not a fan of lineage code.
We need a aosp rom like Purefusion.

We need Kernel source from Motorola first. They are dragging their feet like always. Without kernel source, we can't get a 100% working TWRP for custom roms to flash

Agreed. We need them to drop source code like they said they would.

Looks like I may be getting this phone instead of the Note 8. Come on Motorola......release that source code.

They aren't going to acknowledge you here. Follow this link and sign up to let them know how you feel.

Kernel source was given by Motorola. There is my git with the edits for a regular machine running GCC 4.9 to build a kernel that boots and works.

How much less is less?
If you build it they will come.... ("Field of Dreams" movie line) Seriously, though, I do wonder if giving up stability and features is worth it for minimal gains in performance/benchmarks? Motorola's take on Android is already bare-bones compared to Samsung! With Lineage, it's slightly easier to theme, true, but Substratum suffices for many individuals on stock. I haven't tried Substratum yet, because I don't like dark themes. Don't get me wrong, I want Lineage to succeed! The more open-source options the better! But, is it worth it for the principle, or modest increase in speed (maybe)? Bugless and not losing any features, I would run Lineage; so, we'll see, because it will come in due time.

Totally correct. Our device is so close to stock it's ridiculous. We pretty much have a pixel phone with slower updates and mods. Which I'll take over the boringness of a pixel. Yes substratum would be pretty cool but I know things are coming we have a kernel being updated to the latest kernel version available. We're testing twrp right now and have it 95% working and now we have twrp and magisk and an updated kernel all going at once things are coming along slowly but I feel they will pick up soon

Yes, they were released. Kernel builds fine. For AOSP stuff we need vendor files. We are piecing things together. All builds have failed so we haven't even had a chance to see if it boots.
Why hasn't a kernel been fully released? (Besides the upstreamed one in the custom ROM section) because of encryption not working right in TWRP, you'd lose root when flashing as TWRP can't put the ramdisk back correctly hence no root.

Somebody should start Lineage. I would do it if I had enough experience but I don't yet. Huge tasks like LTE not working, etc., can arise depending upon the particular phone....
The attached screenshot illustrates the dynamics quite well. I was initially mildly surprised by the Lineage developer's response to someone, "When you start paying me." But, for some developers who devote lots of their time to Lineage, I suppose the questions can become tiresome. Every developer is different, of course, and it is a global scale endeavor.

[KERNEL][WIP][BOOTS] CAF Linux 3.10.40 kernel

This is a booting CAF 3.10 kernel for none other than our shiny OnePlus One. Personally, I'm satisfied with my phone as it is with a 3.4 kernel (and 3.10 is a lot of work without proper firmware), so I've given up on developing this 3.10 kernel. This thread is just a free-for-all for anyone who wants to have a crack at developing 3.10.
I threw this kernel together pretty sloppily 2 months ago, so I apologize for the lack of full git history from CAF and some messy code from me. The kernel is based off of the LA.BF.2.1_rb1.xx branch from CAF. The kernel should boot as-is on the official CM nightlies, and it is confirmed to boot on my CM12.1 builds. All it requires is updated WCNSS configuration binaries to boot (flashable zip available in the downloads tab of the thread). The kernel currently only supports JDI command-mode panels, and I compiled the kernel with Google's GCC 4.8 toolchain.
Source code: https://github.com/sultanxda/android_kernel_oneplus_bacon-3.10
What works:
It boots (woo)
Display
Touchscreen
Modem (no mobile data though)
WiFi
Charger (not from wall outlets though)
Battery percentage/health reporting
Volume keys
Sensors
USB
Assume everything else doesn't work. Here's a fun screenie: http://imgur.com/H1UERfr

One I would love to mess with is Heterogeneous Multi-Processing. Also some of the other upstream scheduler commits. For one, they are what make the N6 a true quad core in that it doesn't use any hotplugging, just CPU C states while maintaining pretty decent battery life. It changes how threading works and how workloads are transferred to other cores. At least this is the main thing I would love to see and mess with. Almost makes me want to get an N6. I love my OPO though.

man, that would be cool but it would be a massive undertaking then you would need a road map for other rom Devs to use to even use the work you have done let alone to even be accepted officially from major Roms out there like CM. This is something I have thought about alot but the work needed to put in doesn't match anything near what I would get out of it. This doesn't mean money necessarily but time, time away from family, etc.
This is still something I will take a look at. I wouldn't mind any input from @DerRomtester at all.

First I was excited then I read that this is no longer in development and I'm sad now
P.S. I'd love to see a small group of kernel devs gather around and work on this, surely at first it would be buggy, having even less performance than any kernel for our 1+1 but in the end we'll have a sweet little kernel

No ramdisk changes, no missing dtbs. Just ran a mrproper and compiled it exactly as it is on my GitHub, and it boots. Compiled with GCC 4.8 from Google using almost the exact same script I use to compile my 3.4 kernel, with the only change being that the dtb path for the dtbtool is arch/arm/boot/dts/, not arch/arm/boot/ (though you probably already figured that out).

If companies released the drivers we would have 3.10.x, 3.18.x and even 4.2.x kernels(someone would try to do it even if it turned out a failure)
Released drivers also would have better optimised roms and would make a 5 year old device to live forever (new android e.g. android 7? no problem)

I'm the worst kind of programmer, I mean I do own a degree but the programming language was my weakest link, so I can't help and kernel is one of the hardest parts it needs big ..knowledge to do it :silly:
Now lets not go off topic and wish for someone to work on 3.10.x I mean even if it's buggy and a bit unstable it will bring some new stuff and when it gets stable well then the fun will start

I wasn't exactly interested in 3.10 until i read yours comment. If this kernel can also make opo work like N6 i.e. running always on quad core mode and still maintain good battery lyf, man i would pray that either opo or cm releases 3.10 kernel.

This will never happen. From a business perspective, it costs too much for little benefit, and only introduces the potential for more bugs.
However, here is a hint: Bacon's TrustZone firmware does not check metadata when loading firmware images, so you can technically load firmware from any device (ex: you can use Venus firmware from a totally different device).
If you know what you're doing and you have 3 months of your life to burn on this, then it should be possible to get everything working with the LA.BF.2.1_rb1.xx kernel branch.

What do you think is better? Stock vs Lineage.

Since Oneplus released the new 4.5.0 OxygenOS update, many noticeable changes has been achieve, better battery life, performance, etc.
On the other hand, Android O is reaching many devices around the world thanks to professional developers on XDA community.
Should I stick with OxygenOs, or use lineage os. Which is better
OXYGEN OS
Lineage hands down. Stock is boring, u wanna stay stock buy an iphone.
So many roms to try, why you would stay stock baffles me. But each to there own ?
I suppose these kind of threads are just for opinion-gathering, but I think there's nothing wrong with that.
On one hand, stock OxygenOS is simply "things that just works." Sure, this is boring, but some people prefers to have a system that works in their day to day life. Boring? Sure. But does it works fine? Yes.
Lineage on the other hand, while stable as is, is still geared towards experimenting, that doesn't mean it's unstable though. Also, Lineage (and most other custom ROM) is pretty good when it comes to keeping devices updated - so once OnePlus 3/T is out of commission and OnePlus drops their support for the device(s), it's going to be a good idea to move to Lineage if you want to continue using the phone.
tl;dr use stock if you just want things to work, and Lineage for the sake of modding and future-proofing.
Should you switch to Lineage? Probably.
Nether if you ask me. They are both garbage when compared to an AOSP based rom like Dirty Unicorns. Both have way too many bugs for any real day to day usage.

I like opinion gathering threads since they foster good discussion, but it seems that questions like these are asked every week since users posting them don't bother to search past threads despite the better content in them.
That being said, I agree that LOS is great in the future once device support is dropped, but do you see any downside in keeping OOS installed until support is dropped?
Lineage OS all the way with OMS support. Stock is boring and nothing much then black and regular theme.

any thoughts on android go?

Just heard about Android GO. Is there any thought to building it for Galaxy Nexus? With the frustrations of no root for my g6 I've been playing around with my old Nexus device. I've never built a room before but am more then willing to learn or help.
I also would think this may be a really good thing for our devices, seeing that there has now been Unofficial LineageOS 15.1 builds already being made for First Gen Android One Devices. I would also be willing to learn and test out developments, however I would probably still leave it to the professionals like @Android-Andi, @Ziyan, @nailyk, @osm0sis and @amaces.
I am positive that with a combined effort we all could make our "retro" android device, bang up to date with Oreo Go, which may also help improve speed due to memory improvements that have been made in Oreo Go. I also wouldn't be surprised if one of the mentioned above isn't already in the process of doing this.

I have not time at all (for that device) and am not good enough at kernel tasks.
If someone is able to port HWBinder on our 3.0 kernel I guess being able to help on a few things. If I get some time one day, I will try to backport it from 'my' Sony 3.4 one.

Binder and other backports are not the deal breaker for Oreo on K3.0 (see our UA staging trees). The problem is lack of usable (and public) DDK UM blobs, which is much harder, if not impossible to fix. Also, the availability of Go GApps is more important than building a Go ROM.

I though the graphic driver was open source ?
Sorry for noob question, but I do not know the omap world...
I dunno if this would help any of our wonderful developers, however I just seen this "Oreo Low-RAM Property Mod" basically giving Oreo an Android GO style update. If I could build it all myself then I would, however I don't actually know where to even start.

Where are the Android 9 ROMs at?

Seriously. ROMs used to be available on the Nexus withint 3-4 days. Now we got treble(have ported the image from a Pixel as well) and yet there are NO custom Android 9 ROMs. It's hit AOSP for 5 days already.
it is best to wait for official Pie from OnePlus and official kernel source for Pie
the hard work will be on them this way
developers will work hard to get a stable Pie port then all this work will go away when official Pie is available as it will be a btter base

Maybe not many devs for Oneplus devices compared to nexus i guess. Aosp builds hit nexus devices within few hours those days. Suprised to see completely working Pie build already for Xiaomi note 4 though.

I refuse to use mokee to get proper treble support. For two reasons. One, OnePlus needs to implement it properly so that drivers are stable and etc. Two, Mokee has a terrible kernel which results in terrible SoT.
I must admit that I am generally a bit disappointed in the ROM situation with the 5t.
I always thought that Oneplus phones were among the most hacked ones out there and I expected A LOT more than what there is...

There are custom kernels to flash. With custom kernel it's actually pretty efficient. Getting same SOT and idle time as I wad getting in 8. 1 custom roms.
Our prayers have been answered. And the best part is that the rom is not featureshitbuggybloated, it is pure AOSP!

True! But atm the new gesture navigation and NFC isn't working yet and those 2 things are mandatory for me before I start flashing

Question Lineage vs crDroid

I've been pretty out of it for the past basically half a decade so I'm a bit out of the loop as far as the newer roms. But from what I can tell for what I want Lineage seems to be the best custom rom. A nice clean AOSP experience with improvements. To tell the truth I would probably just stick with Oxygen OS if it weren't such a ***** to perform updates while rooted. That said, crDroid is Lineage + some more improvements. So, what do you guys think? Does crDroid add enough value to justify it over just getting Lineage? What are some of your favorite crDroid features that Lineage lacks? (for those that prefer it) And what are some of the things crDroid does/has that Lineage doesn't that you *don't* like? (For those that prefer Lineage)
Thanks for the opinions, will really help me make my choice.
What do you mean pain in the ass to update while rooted?
Nothing is changed. You only restore boot image, update, install root to inactive slot, reboot.

Thanks for answer the question and sticking to the topic
What i've learned since years of root/unlocking bootloader/flashing roms is that you should also considering a rom depending on who's maintening it. A good maintener will provide a more stable rom and frequent updates.

LineageOS as a firmware is tried and true and very stable, but doesnt innovate a lot, it's meant to be a solid clean base. crDroid has been pushing a lot of new features but might be less stable. The maintainers there seem to be actively trying to do a lot.

I mean crDroid has some a lot of features but it's nothing compared to features of RR, which is pretty stable. What I'm saying is that RR is still pretty stable with all those features, so you shouldn't worry about stability with crDroid.

Custom kernel may be better than stock kernel. Built-in Gapps are often more stable than any other flashable Gapps.
I'd recommend to try crDroid by yourself and if it doesn't fit your usage, then switch to lineage. Never try, never know.

And I thought RR was long dead.
Crdroid is 100 percent stable right now and running flawlessly on my TMobile variant. I haven't seen battery life this good since my 6t either! This is with the kernel that comes with crdroid, didn't tweak any settings in kernel app.
For the record I was nowhere near this good of battery on oos I was maybe getting 3 to 3 and a half hours of sot for 50 percent battery. Crdroid kicks the crap out of that.

I've been pretty out of it for the past basically half a decade so I'm a bit out of the loop as far as the newer roms. But from what I can tell for what I want Lineage seems to be the best custom rom. A nice clean AOSP experience with improvements. To tell the truth I would probably just stick with Oxygen OS if it weren't such a ***** to perform updates while rooted. That said, crDroid is Lineage + some more improvements. So, what do you guys think? Does crDroid add enough value to justify it over just getting Lineage? What are some of your favorite crDroid features that Lineage lacks? (for those that prefer it) And what are some of the things crDroid does/has that Lineage doesn't that you *don't* like? (For those that prefer Lineage)
Thanks for the opinions, will really help me make my choice.

Cr-droid has google apps and lineage does not. Call screen built in. It's a pixel experience.

do note that we have gapps just because for now without proper TWRP you can't easy install them
crDroid is normally without Gapps and we plan to remove them as soon as TWRP is ready

crDroid is still far away from Resurrection Remix, it should be very stable.

Bro I think you've been found victim to the power of branding. Under no shape or form was Resurrection Remix ever better than CrDroid. A cooler boot splash logo, but that's about it.
And why is this a gentleman even comparing this to lineage? CrDroid IS lineage, with way way more features, slightly better performance.
Dumb thread.

I've never said it was better. I meant RR has more features.

OP admitted they haven't been in the custom ROM game awhile, but if this is a dumb thread why take your time to say anything? Dumb reply.

I would apologize but it's kind of not my fault that you're illiterate. You should try learning how to read before you bother posting such idiotic responses. I literally said in my OP that crDroid is Lineage + extra features. The purpose of this topic is for me to decide whether or not I CARE about those features enough to pick crDroid over Lineage in the first place.
Truly hope you learn how to read before you post stupid comments in the future mate. Good luck.
To everyone else, thanks for your replies. Very helpful. Would still like to get some examples of things fans of crDroid like that's in crDroid but not in Lineage if possible.

I understand you're upset that you created a dumb thread. Everyone knows most ROMs are usually a lineage base. Lineage is very stripped down. Almost any custom ROM is probably technically better than lineage because it has more useful features.
And no that's not what you said originally in your first post. You probably went back and edited it.
How about we don't look too far/read into posts and be friends?
