I don't know if I have to install copy partition or not, because the process was made from the beginning, and I didn't want to do it from de upgrading process because I had installed 18.1
one question more, I don't have an external Sd card, after installing 19.1 version, can I to mount an external sd card?

Yes, you can. Sd card works fine. Format it and plug it in.

Nope. The guide is right you don't need copy partitions on upgrade.

Also please stop triple posting.

I have no clue what you're talking about. You just said it was working and you needed an SD card.
Start from scratch, wipe everything, follow the damn guide, and things will work fine.

Plus you're not even on the right thread, please go to the correct place

The dev is the dev. He's not tier 1 tech support for lazy ingrates. If anything he's too nice giving his time and effort doing helpdesk BS. He shouldn't bother. I'd rather he not burn out dealing with lazy, sloppy noobs who can't even follow basic instructions.

lol "too nice." If that actually was the case, his supposed underlying good will would be reflected in his demeanor. It isn't. He's a whiny *****.

    Hi guys,
    anyone knows if it's possible to change the default camera app? As you probably discovered, on Android 11 is not possible to set a different default application for camera. For example, if you want to take a picture from an app like sports tracker you must use motorola app. Any possibility to change the original app, setting open camera or another?
    Could it be possible to substitute the original app before compiling the rom?
    In 18.1, you can change the default camera app just fine. If you install one, and double click power button, it will ask you which camera app to use, and if it should be default.

    Online Updates: 18.1 XT1965-2
    Always reverts to Lineageos Recovery. Necessary to reinstall Twrp and Magisk. Any way around this ??
    Nope, Lineage Recovery should be used on this device. Magisk will persist if you use the Updater app.
    Try switching off "update recovery" in the updater options.
    Can't do that here, we're A/B. It will tell you you can't do that if you try.
    Hi,
    For many builds now my phone doesn't recognize the sim card after a reboot or an update- tray needs to be pulled out on each occasion. I've tried everything so far... Anyone else?

    @npjohnson

    I've seen this reported for moto g7 play and power, fixed two or one build back... Is this something that you can look at for the next update please?
    Or maybe you can advise on a possible update of non-hlos.bin or such I should perform myself? Thanks in advance!
    Nope, issue doesn't exist for us, that was a typo on 632-common, we use 660-common, my TMO SIM is still fine.

    nope - you can try magisk but I doubt it'll work.

    Yes, you can OTA just fine!
    I was able to make Google Pay work and SafetyNet pass just fine

    Thank you for your suggestion koimr, I found out that the port of Moto Cam 2 that worked on my previous OS was made by Nemesis. So I looked for a version for Moto G7+ compatible with Android 11. Here it is https://sourceforge.net/projects/nemesisteam/files/MODs/Moto-Camera-2/List-N2/Android-11/ARM-64/ . I installed it via TWRP and it worked!

    I've made some test shots with three cameras: Moto Cam 2, Pixel GCam you suggested and Open Cam. Moto Cam (which now does not offer a switch of HDR) and GCam (with HDR+ activated) give pretty close results in day light. Moto tends to render darker and punchier dark areas while GCam extends DRO for them so that shots get less contrasty and less colorful. Besides Moto files are 15-20% heavier than those by GCam, I think for keeping more color info in darker parts. Open Camera with HDR activated is another story. Sometimes it gives a pretty well balanced image while sometimes a lollypop HDR effect is too strong. In low light Open Camera renders too grainy image. My previous experience with Moto was positive. I could compare it to GCam later.

    As for daylight shots, I attach unedited samples of two scenes. In both cases first comes Moto Cam 2 (default settings), then GCam (HDR+) and third Open Camera (HDR). You can see the variation.

    There was a shocking moment in the first experience of GCam. I discovered that if you switch off the HDR+ mode, the app uses the second front camera, and you just have no choice to change it. I am unaware if this happens only with G7+ or it's a general feature. I tend to say it's a shame, as the image is limited to 1920 at its large side, and the quality of the oversharpened image is simply ridiculous. Welcome back to 1998. The last shot attached is an unedited GCam shot taken this way, with HDR+ off. I wonder if that could be fixed someway for G7+.
    I'll attach some examples that I shot with it, you can take extremely detailed pictures with both back and front cameras.
