[7.1.x] LineageOS 14.1 for Moto G5 [cedric][UNOFFICIAL]

[Exodusnick]

in your build environment you should see -os_version 14.1 --os_patch_level 2023-03-05 in the end
but if it shows os_patch_level 2021-06-05 then you don't have a march patch either

I just wanted to give you a tip because I had the same thing until one of girrit told me that I had to change it manually.

Divest also bumps the asb level, not sure of they do more backporting tho.

That's all I do, repopick all unmerged patches. The current patch level hasn't been merged since July of 2021 because the maintainer refused to do so as long as there is no backport of the two missing patches. I've been writing it in my announcement for the past years that those two are missing and so the patch level technically isn't current, as that would imply that all known vulnerabilities have been addressed. Hence the designation of my builds as "experimental".

 

[Exodusnick]

I understand your situation but no one is obliged to create a backport for Pacht level.
For example, since this month Google has discontinued Android 11 and until now there is no one who makes a backport.
You also have to know that the people from girrit do everything voluntarily and if the effort is not worth it, then that's just the way it is and you have to accept it .

Experimental new build with April 05th, 2023 security patches available

https://www.dropbox.com/s/n2ye8jkn8pv0onv/lineage-14.1-20230416-UNOFFICIAL-cedric.zip?dl=1

This build is to be considered alpha as it is lacking two patches from July 2021 as can be read on Gerrit. The patches from August, 2021 through April, 2023 have also been included, but no updated patch level. It still reports June 5th, 2021, as it is lacking the two patches from July of 2021 from the "not implemented" section. There seems to be no progress in backporting these patches :-(

I've got it installed and running on my own device for half an hour now.

As always, these builds don't contain any patches to closed source drivers, as those would have to be supplied by Lenovo. Who have long since stopped supporting this device.

Builds prior to December 11th, 2022 have been deleted from my dropbox to mitigate space constraints.

Use at your own risk!

Regards
Ektus.

Just a short notice: I've had to upgrade my build machine (bigger mass storage and update Mint 19 to Mint 21 or thereabouts) and in the process my build environment was damaged. I'ts been restored to a point where I can successfully build for N5110, but not for Cedric :-(
I'm still investigating the cause and will ask here once I know more. Looks like it's when trying to compile the kernel, somewhere in kernel/motorola/msm8937/scripts/dtc, but it may take me some (or even a lot) more time. Or somebody here can give me a hint?

Experimental new build with May 05th, 2023 security patches available

Finally, my build machine is back in working order. So here you go:
