Possible to Flash Q Rom made for Moto G5S Plus (sanders) on Moto z2 play (Albus)? - Moto Z2 Play Questions & Answers

After scattering through a tonne of content on the internet and flashing multiple ROMs on my moto z2 play, I found AOSP extended GSI of android PIE and I am using it right now as my daily driver. It works 9/10 Anyone can daily drive it as long as you are not concerned about passing SafetyNet. However, while I was digging for some ROM that would officially support my z2 play(albus), I noticed one thing that Motorola Moto G5 Plus has a lot of support amongst custom roms. I may be missing some points cause I haven't been into flashing roms since some years now and I recently came back to the whole scene but is there a way that I can run a Custom rom (like Evolution X) on my albus using the build meant for Motorola Moto G5 Plus? Both of these phones have extremely similar specs and dimensions. z2 play was launched on 2017 June and Motorola Moto G5 Plus was launched on 2017 Feb.

According to this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/updated-guide-project-treble-gsi-t4063193
you can flash ANY GSI into the Z2 Play as long as they met these requirements:
1. Rom arch is arm64
2. Rom partition scheme is aonly
Most custom roms do not specify which partition scheme uses, in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2...droid-q-gsi-moto-z2-play-albus-t4066945/page2 the user @saibharath1319 mentions he succesfully installed Pixel Experience Plus Android 10 GSI with KVT 2.4 "without any major issues besides ambient display not working.

What he is asking and what your telling mate?? even i was searching for the same question moto g5 plus has tremendous support and both the devices are totally identical ? can someone give it a try?

Bro do you even read? The short answer is no, you can't simply flash sanders ROMs or any other, to albus. Unless they are GSI's.
If you don't have any idea what I'm talking about. Then google it.
If you are coming from Stock Pie Update make sure you use the modem file (non-HLOS.bin) from Stock Oreo because the modem from Stock Pie has audio issues with custom ROMs.

Android 9 p

Hello guys anyone can make a rom android 9 for moto z2 play ?
Was wondering as well and if the Moto z2 play will get ota for Android p
read in some website yesterday, that Moto Z2 Play will start getting Android P OTA in third quarter of 2019
Not bloody likely
https://youtu.be/I6KC0PAvJZwhttps://youtu.be/I6KC0PAvJZw
We, on Verizon, haven't even tasted Oreo, in lieu of locked bootloader
Announced today Pie coming this Fall.
https://www.droid-life.com/2018/08/15/these-are-the-motorola-phones-getting-android-pie/
Try to Google and you'll find it. I'm writing from Android 9
http://ilmiodiarioprivato.altervista.org
I'd like to think there will be Android 9, since the Moto Z Play is getting Andoid 8... If Motorola sticks with the same pattern it would only make sense for the Moto Z2 Play to get Android 9.
Android 9 already boots in this device thanks to treble development, but most of the features aren't available yet. Once LineageOS 15.1 gets official, Android 9.0 will start being developed for this device.
No need for a custom ROM
Recently Motorola released the list of devices that they are supporting with the Android 9 (Pie) Software Update.
Here is the list:
• Moto Z3
• Moto Z3 Play
• Moto Z2 Force Edition
• Moto Z2 Play
• Moto X4
• Moto G6 Plus
• Moto G6
• Moto G6 Play
Data from this list has been collected from Motorola's Official website: https://support.motorola.com/us/en/softwareupgrade
Of course there will most likely be a ROM built with Android 9, but don't worry... If you want the full Motorola experience, you will be getting it!
I currently test with this tutorial and I work well with this android P port of the Pixel XL and it goes great, the only defect is that the Moto MOD do not go and the flashlight out there is all right.

Here I leave the comments of the forum on Google + in case you have any questions.

It is important to follow the instructions to the letter so that it works wonders

I don't think it will work, I'm pretty sure camera, sensors and fingerprint are different.

Clean Guide [easy] to flash Custom ROM on Moto G6 Play [aljeter XT1922-4] (w/Magisk)?

I have been around many threads, forums and videos, but I really feel confused to flash my Moto G6 w/ a custom ROM.
I have seen that I could install custom roms with android 8, 9 and also 10. The thing is, that information feels to be spreaded in pieces and makes it very confusing.
1. I know of course, you can flash a Custom ROM in Moto G6 Play, with android 8 and 9.
2. I know there's also a few ways to flash android 10.
3. I know it has been hard to put all this information in one place.
4. There are few custom roms tested as in this link.
What do I have to do exactly if I want android 10, in my moto g6 play with root?
What does GSI really means?
Also, I have stock android 9 and root.

Best android Q gsi for MOTO z2 play? (ALBUS)

So after testing AOSP extended, LineageOS17, Havoc OS and even DerpFest OS, I think moto z2 (albus) doesn't do great with GSI for android 10. There always was something off and the stability was far from one you expect from a gsi. I used KVT 2.3 aroma to boot. However, there are other devs releasing unofficial GSI roms as well which I haven't tested. Like ExPressLukeGSI or Trisquel collection which probably has a special thing for albus. So I am posting this expecting replies from anyone showing love to z2 play, If you know something then tell me. If you want to test the GSIs and can't find links, ask me.
i would to try gsi but i use daily mt phone and i need to something stable at now mokee is working ok but i had a issue with calls. i never try this treble roms xd

Mokee Q or Pie? This ROM are stable?
does anyone know if they are developing a gsi or normal Android 10 ROM for Moto Z2 Albus because I have been waiting for it for a long time and I would like to ask that please continue supporting this team please
@Euiz702 GSI is not specific for some device. You can use almost any GSI on Z2 Play already now

What kind of problems did you have? I'm testing phusson's plain AOSP and so far works good. Scrolling and some apps, especially Google maps run smoother than on stock Pie. I'm using modded Google Camera 6 (shared in Apps&Mods forum), it works good, just HDR+ can't be turned off and it tends to improve reality too much. I just didn't manage to install Magisk yet.
I also wanted to try Trisquels's gsi-albus stuff, but SourceForge has been working badly recently and I wasn't able to download anything

10 with V2.3 kvt (btw, previous post should not be quoted )
I also tried some Pies a couple of months earlier with V7 kvt but camera wasn't working there

as for Magisk use this version: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/download/v200/magisk-phh.zip
Thanks, it worked. But I'm probably going back to stock, the battery life is pretty bad

If you want a rom with good battery life, try DescendantOS x (10). Havoc is good, but not for battery life.

I don't know and I already left. But before, my battery usually lasted for one day, now maybe half maybe a bit more.
I tried DescendantX, but it seemed a bit undone with something in status bar. But maybe I try it once more.
I also tried GSIs from gsi-albus project on SourceForge and they seem good, but they have always navigation bar on and fingerprint gestures off (doesn't matter what you select in kvt installer). So I wander whether they are really built with Albums in mind...
Can someone here help me decide whether to take the plunge or not into flashing a custom ROM on my daily driver Z2 Play, by clarifying some of my doubts.
1) Whether the Moto experiences like Moto Actions and Moto Display will be available when using custom ROMs and GSIs?
2) Will it be possible to return to stock ROM after flashing a 64bit Treble based ROM?
3) Also what is the best, most stable Android 9 or 10 based ROMs for Moto Z2 Play?

There are no stable Pie or Q ROMs for Z2 Play unfortunately. Only GSI ones that are all more or less bugged and it seems like no developer is interested in this phone anymore. For stable ROMs you can choose only from 8.1 ones which are all quite outdated at this point as well. Anyway I use unofficial LineageOS 15.1 as daily driver for like 1,5 year now and have no complaints, it's absolutely rock solid and latest release has February 2020 security patches. Moto actions, Moto display (kinda, it's different than stock) and fingerprint gestures works.
But honestly I don't think there is much point in flashing custom rom now, especially if you have stock 9.0.
Pixel experience plus on Albus
I have flashed the Pixel Experience Plus Android 10 GSI on Albus by using the latest KVT 2.4 and it works like charm.
There are no major bugs, everything is working fine like basic functions and performance is awesome.
Only ambient display is not working, other than that almost everything is working fine and this GSI can be used as daily driver.
And magisk is also working.
Did anyone tried to install Erfan's Oxygen OS GSI on Albus???

Good to hear that pixel experience is working for you. I am based in india and none of gsi seem to provide volte functionality. Can you confirm that the rom you have tried is working with volte? Please provide the source of the pixel experience gsi you have tried. i have tried Erfans gsi, its same volte doesn't work. Thanks

Question Future development for moto G60

I am looking to buy a new phone. My options right now are Redmi Note 10 pro and Moto G60
I want a stock android phone but am also looking at installing custom ROMs after the warranty date. Redmi Note 10 pro has extensive ROM support. So, once the kernel source code for this phone is released how good do you think the ROM development for tis will be?
I don't know the technical terms
I am new to this stuff
A dev said
Moto devices under sm6150, already have great rom development
Moto g40 and g60 also come under the same
So, 50%of the rom work is already done
Developers only need to tweak some settings here and there and release the rom
But as of now, HANOIP is facing Bootloader unlock issue, Moto said they are gonna fix it soon via an update
So, we can easily expect development but a little later, cause moto community is very small
Btw LIBER has already received A11 official P.E
I asked one of the developers. They said it might be slow coz this phone already runs on stock android
Yeah, it runs a stable A11 out of the box
So we don't need A11 custom rom
And It would receive A12 as well
So, we are saved for 2 years
Even if the development is slow
We can adjust as we have options ,unlike other meme devices
