Any chance you could provide links without telegram?

Maybe you are also interested in my efforts to bring clark to 17.1

Kernel: https://github.com/chrmhoffmann/android_kernel_motorola_msm8992/tree/staging/lineage-17.1
Device: https://github.com/chrmhoffmann/android_device_motorola_clark/tree/staging/lineage-17.1
Vendor: https://github.com/chrmhoffmann/proprietary_vendor_motorola/tree/staging/lineage-17.1
Additional patches: https://gist.github.com/chrmhoffmann/dd232f142dcde4c590a659e85944f7a4

The above trees are not supposed to remain stable, I do force pushs until clean and uploadable to lineage (if ever).

Very early testbuild: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261826984

Credits go mainly to the lineage community and their commits on gerrit, and of course: hashbang, randomblame and highwaystar - esp for the camera headers .

I'd also be interested but don't use Telegram

has anyone tried chrmhoffmann's rom yet (post #10)? I'm interested to see if it boots and how stable it is. Also he's openly sharing his source code.

Nice.

Yes, working nice.

@DarkDroidDev Hey, how did you extract the proprietary blobs? The instruction says that one needs to have an installable zip of LineageOS for clark, or already have the device runnning the LOS. I tried to extract it just from my stock Moto X Style with the script and it did something, but I'm not sure if it's going to work.

Edit: I'm also interested in testing the 17.1 build, since the one I'm trying to build following the instruction is 14.1 and actually it fails because of lack of some vendor files :/ But I'm also not interested in joining Telegram

Edit: Oh, I missed the @chrmhoffmann post!

Hi, chrmhoffmann. Thank you for your work. I previously tested your 20200718 upgrade. I have installed the same date recovery and the latest magisk20.4. Unfortunately the system will not start. I also tried wipe system wipe cache wipe data and reinstalled it again, but it still didn't work.

I cannot find any kind of forum for @DarkDroidDev . I also can't find a forum for @chrmhoffmann but I found the andoridfilehost link for him with his builds.
https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=313335
I did a lot of trial and error and I notice that he is posting his own Lineage recovery which through Googling I find is apparently most use for updating a ROM. I am using the latest Clark TWRP 3.4.0-0 and once you install your first LOS17 you can no longer flash an updated build because TWRP seems to be unable to wipe an android 10 build.

@chrmhoffman has LOS Recovery builds that do allow you to update his LOS17 to a new build. His latest LOS recovery is named recovery.img from 8/19/20. LOS Recovery is not very functional and likewise does not even have the option to wipe. The only way I have been able to wipe these LOS builds is to flash back to stock Android 7 Moto ROM and start over fresh. I am using NPHS25.200-23 which is the last Moto ROM for Clark. I have found flashing back to stock is a good practice when moving to a new ROM and I am getting much better with practice so it is not so onerous.

So here's what I do to flash the initial working version of LOS 17 on my Clark. I have found you can use any of his builds. Thus you can start with his latest build 20200715.

• Flash stock Android 7 using fastboot
• Flash TWRP using fastboot
• Flash 20200715 build and latest Android 10.0 Open Gapps with TWRP

This is pretty much the standard old way that we always do. Now if you want to update 20200715 with either a clean or a dirty flash when he drops a new build you cannot use TWRP to do this because you can't wipe. If you want to clean flash a new build you will have to start over with stock. If you want to update with a dirty flash then you will need LOS Recovery. Easiest way is to flash the LOS Recovery image with TWRP but you can also fastboot flash it.

• Flash LOS Recovery
• Update ROM from LOS Recovery.

I have been able to flash Magisk from Stock and it seems to work fine but I have not tried yet to see how LOS Recovery handles Magisk. I am looking for help from anyone with more experience than I have to explain this better and most importantly find out where discussion is happening. The ROM works beautifully and so far much better than @randomblame ROM. No boot problems, WiFi tether works great, camera is better. So far it is great. So give it a try.

From what I've seed Darkdroiddev removed Clark from his Github so I assume he is no longer working on this phone and this thread is probably dead. Randomblame hasn't posted since February. chrmhoffmann's thread https://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/orig-development/unofficial-lineage-17-1-clark-t4123077 actually has a link to official Lineage gerrit which means we are well on our way to becoming official Lineage again. Meanwhile I'll keep posting LOS 14.1 for MMBL until we get there.
