Camera thought - Moto G5 Questions & Answers

Hey all, i had a thought of fixing Camera for lineage OS rom. I will test myself, just wanted to know if it's possible or not?
I am using moto g5 phone on lineage os 15.0 custom ROM. and it has camera bug, was thinking if i could replace few files from moto g5 plus lineage os 15.0 custom ROM, wouldn't it solve the issue?

Use PixelExperience... No bugs for camera...

install a stock based ROM(6.0) after ResurrectionRemix (7.1.2)

Hi guys,
as I said in the title I have flashed the Resurrection remix on my zuk z2. The rom is great but the camera is just bad. I would like to install a stock rom like the francko86 or similar, but I wonder if there'll be any problems due to the different android version. In fact, when I installed the RR I previously had flashed the Stock nougat rom with no gapps. Do you have any similar experience or knowledge that can help me out?
Thanks a lot for your time

You have to go back to 6.0 first.
Best way to do so is flashing Stock 6.0 via QFIL.
So you have to unlock the Bootloader again and stuff.

Custom roms?

Are we never gonna have any custom ROMs for this device now :/ ? Can someone at least port a working Oreo/Nougat ROM from Moto G5 Plus for Montana?
I'll be highly obliged.
Thank you so much in advance.

I think the answer may be no mate. This device is getting pretty old now.

even if it is old think that on the part of the manufacturer there was so much support and both the developers share think this device does not have a future so promising had a lot of abandonment of ROMs like Lineage OS and pixelexperience I think I'm almost wanting to change the device by another think there will not be much for this device since it is becoming outdated

Confused: Why 32bit only OS on Moto G5 64bit hardware?

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

Thank you.
But I am not 100% sure about whether you are confirming that the stock ROM on Moto G5 is the newest available Android OS version where everything works?

Stock rom will be the latest os version where everything works 100%
All 64bit custom roms have camera issues due to no updated propriety sources

That's sad.
So when I want to buy a phone in the future:
Which other smart phone brands will probably not leave their customers with 'a choice between plague or cholera'...?

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

Question OnePlus Camera For Any AOSP ROM?

hi i was wondering if anyone knows how to install the stock camera of the OnePlus 9 Pro on any AOSP Rom Or at least one that can be used in lineage
it hasn't been fully successfully done yet. CrDroid was working on it. People also might be waiting for official A12 and A12 based ROMs since I'm sure they're going to start focusing on it soon instead of still messing with OOS11.
