Hello guys! It seems my version of phone doesnt have a recovery partition, can i only boot the recovery to do the installation instead of flashing it?

Hello guys! It seems my version of phone doesnt have a recovery partition, can i only boot the recovery to do the installation instead of flashing it?

Seems possible to me, I should have made the same question since I installed LOS 19 on a phone that already had PixelExperience and it all went quite smooth.

Hello all.

I was able to flash the device with lineage-19.1-20220913-nightly-evert-signed.zip
But I'm unable to flash it with MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439.zip

It fails on the following:
"This package is for Android 12.1.0 (SDK 32) but your system is Android (SDK )! Aborting"

I'd like to have Mind The Gapps as it is developed by Lineage OS devs.

Before I tried NikGapps-basic-arm64-12.1-20220908-signed.zip, but have some problems with Google authorization. Also before I had problems that Google Play wasn't available.

Can somebody give me an advice? Thanks.

Maybe you can try this: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/12L/setup-sdk

Exactly. Second slot only for voice (don't know if it is the same also on LOS 20)

same also LOS 20. SIM2 no mobile data.
clean flash LOS 20. test japan docomo SIM.

Since there is still no thread for LineageOS 20 for our device: Has anyone installed LineageOS 20 for G6 Plus successfully?

What is the default camera app? Aperture or Snap? Any caveats?

Are you still with us, jeferson1979?

MotCamera is default one, yes I'm in. Had no time yet for a Lineage 20 thread

Recently installed the LOS 20 Unofficial build, didn't encountered any issues so far.
The only criticism is the fact that Trebuchet launcher was replaced by Pixel launcher, which has zero personalization, specifically it does not allow to remove the useless google search bar.

EDIT; the unofficial version I installed was from "npjohnson" not the one linked in the OP / first post.

Hello!
I'm new to custom ROMs. I followed the instructions to install LineageOS 20 (lineage-20.0-20230411-nightly-evert-signed) on my old Moto G6 Plus, along with MindTheGapps (MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64-ATV-20230321_142647).

Everything went well during the process, but when I get past the startup wizard (setting up WiFi) I get a blank screen, then the screen tilts and I get 2 notifications (Android TV remote & Android TV startscreen unresponsive). I can access all settings by swimping from the top down, but there's no home screen. I only can access the apps via Settings --> apps --> *select app* --> open. When trying to open Google Play store, I get an error reading "this version of the app is not compatible with this device"). What am I doing wrong here?

 

[Merkwuerdig]

It looks like you have installed the wrong version, i.d. instead "Mobile" you chose "Android TV".

That did the trick! Thanks!

Hi all,

I am trying to install LineageOS on G6+/Evert

The device has an issue whereby I cannot see a menu when in bootloader (no android on its back, no menu, just backlight. Fastboot does communicate - bootloader unlocked etc.)

I've been unable to fix this issue including resetting back to stock ROM via Moto RSA.

It's clear that I need to interact with the device in order to follow the instructions past a certain point. I was posting to see A) whether there are other methods that don't require interaction with the device in bootloader and B) whether anyone has had this issue and managed to solve it?

Related post here but they didn't fix it, although it does sound that if I use TWRP maybe I get a menu...but I was hoping to use the standard instructions first if poss!

Thanks

The device has an issue whereby I cannot see a menu when in bootloader (no android on its back, no menu, just backlight. Fastboot does communicate - bootloader unlocked etc.)

I have found a fastboot command "fastboot oem show_screen" but am getting the response :

(bootloader) usage:
(bootloader) fastboot oem show_screen screen_name
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed

So I need a "screen_name" parameter and maybe this is the key. Seems highly suspicious the bootloader screen is hidden and this command is sat right there...BUT getting zero google hits and a few random screen names haven't resulted in anything positive occurring...

It is a bug/glitch in some devices, some have it, some do not.
Mine does have it and I tried Moto RSA and flashing a logo and nothing work.

The good news is that, as you mentioned, even though the screen on the phone is black, fastboot commands work and you can still navigate with the power and volume buttons.
At first I tried using the Lineageos Recovery but that still gave me a black screen, so I booted/flashed TWRP and it works correctly, and I was able to flash the zip successfully. One small caveat is that is after flashing LOS zip it will replace your recovery, so if you need to flash the Gapps after a reboot with the stock recovery, you will need another phone with the same recovery type to mimic the steps.
The easiest solution is to flash the Unofficial LOS that comes with the Gapps and as a bonus, it passes Safety.net

This ROM is running real smooth on my device. Thanks a lot for you efforts!

May I ask if you plan to enable the Aperture camera app?

with lineage-20.0-20230509-nightly-evert-signed my notification led stopped working, can somebody confirm this?

 

[nerohero]

I’m unable to go into recovery mode as I get stuck on a black screen.

So I installed lineage OS 20 using TWRP. But I’m unable to go back to TWRP to flash gApps.

Any suggestions or steps I can follow.

Also I get NO NETWORK on SIM2. I’m okay with no data access on SIM2 but voice/sms services are essential. Any workaround to get it started.

I tried lineage OS 19.1 and couldn’t install gApps or get SIM2 to work. When I revert back to stock ROM sim2 works fine so I have confirmed that it’s not a hardware issue.

Thank you

Many of us face the same issue, you can; do the process to flash GAPPS blind or use the unofficial version that includes GAPPS.

Thank you so much. I was able to successfully install lineage os 20 on my moto g6+ with google apps and both my SIMs are now working.
