[OFFICIAL] LineageOS 20 for the Moto G7/G7 Power/G7 Play

[Baracho]

Does anyone know if Moto Camera app had QR Code reader capability since LOS 18, or if it does on 20?

On 19.1 I cannot find any related setting at all, even if for toggling on/off...

LOS 20 has QR Code Reader in Carmera App.

Does anyone know how I can disable the light on the top right (picture point 5)?
This shines with me continuously...

According to the manual it should be a proximity sensor.

If it is on when charging you might be able to disable that in the battery settings but if it is on all the time something else may be wrong or there may be a 3rd party modification. Even if the RoM does not use the LED for notifications (stock does not, IDK about LOS) if it is used for charging there should be an option to disable it.

As to the documentation, the Motorola manuals are inaccurate, or rather they are inaccurately interpreted by Moto customer service. There is a sensor near that spot but there also is an LED. Many Moto models have such an LED and the LED on the G7 power is larger and brighter than most. The LED is not advertised as a feature because Moto intends for them to serve only as sign of life (quick light pulse when power button is tapped while device is powered off) or battery charging, but it can be used for notifications on rooted devices with the app LightFlow.

Very brief offtopic:
Does Moto Camera app on 19.1 has QR Code reader capability?

On G7 River...Just tried the Lineage updater with todays build, and the updater seems to be crashing. It will download the build but when I try to install the OS update the app will crash. So I went with the ADB sideload of the build and it seemed to update the OS OK but after rebooting then Google Play services kept crashing. I then ADB sideload the Mind the Gapps package again to see if this would fix the Play Services crash...and it did but now Google Play will launch but it thinks I have no internet when I launch the app. , Firefox seems OK when I load a web page, so I do have a connection, but all google apps seem to not think I have a connection.

Any advice? Anyone else seeing this? Did I screw something up doing the sideloads in the sequence I did?

I had same problem with play store. Go in app info and check under Internet connection usage. Now make sure the app has Internet accessaccessl

THANK YOU!!

That was probably too obvious. Battery -> Battery light indicator : Off.

I think you should have flashed Gapps before booting. The LineageOS Updater crashes for me too but I've had success twice now by clearing cache and data from that app and then running the download and install again; it seems to do everything ok after that, but doesn't prompt for a restart afterwards (which will be required).

I'm still struggling with all camera apps but I think a factory wipe and fresh install of the ROM will fix that when I find the time and motivation to do that!

What do you mean for camera apps problems? Are you using the latest build? Because I am using the 8 jan build and everything works fine. Are there any problems with new update?

Every camera app I've tried is unstable. Glad to hear yours is all good. I think my issue is because I was using a Pixel GCam port on Lineage19 and have some config files missing because of sideload to 20. Full wipe is my plan

Now I discovered these problems. Every camera app is glitching if I open it in the first 30 sec after the unlock. If I open it after 30-40 sec everything works fine

I think you're right, I agree!

There is already an issue. If you can comment maybe they can give this problem more priority

 

[fede2782]

Has someone tried if the camera issues are fixed using latest 22th build? I've found a temporary solution, google camera go. This app is based on a different camera library and works well.

@npjohnson :

Using ocean device, and just updated to this day's build of LOS 20.

I can confirm that Moto Camera app does have issues:
When just opening the app, seemingly nothing; but when switching to video mode then back to photo mode, camera goes totally "frozen" while only responding for a brief moment every few seconds. I have to exit the app, then explicitly close it, in order to open it and get the camera working again.
Doing the process again reproduces the issue.

However this seems to happen only with the default "back" camera; with the front camera (a.k.a. the "selfie" camera) there's no issues.

Just to mention, this was not a LOS 20 clean installation from scratch, but sideloaded LOS 20 update over LOS 19.1.

On my G7 Power (ocean), I updated to the first official build of LOS20.0 from the final official build of LOS19.1 as per the official instructions.
Then when running the updater app, the next LOS20.0 update successfully downloaded but the updater app crashes after tapping install then tapping OK.

Attached is a logcat which I started just before I tapped on the OK button.

Worth mentioning is I reinstalled the F-Droid privileged extension and Aurora privileged extension in case this is relevant. (No GApps was installed before or after the update to LOS20.0)

I will use sideload to update to the next build and check if the updater crash issue persists then report back here.

[edit: I resolved the issue by rebooting to bootloader, using the fastboot command to switch the active partition to the other partition (in my case the active partition was 'a' so I switched to 'b' using fastboot --set-active=b . Then I rebooted to recovery and installed LOS20.0 (Jan 14 build) again to the other partition. Rebooted and now the updater app is working)

Hello, after I updated my Moto G7 river to the latest version (https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/full/river/20230129/lineage-20.0-20230129-nightly-river-signed.zip) today, I no longer have WiFi. I can activate it, but no network is found anymore and the module then deactivates itself again. Before that I had the problem that at some point the network no longer automatically registered itself in the WLAN and the G7 was only on the Internet via mobile data. Unfortunately, with the latest update, I no longer have WiFi at all.

 

[fede2782]

I think that there are a many bugs on LineageOS 20. Maybe there should be a bit more tests. However Camera Go only solves the preview, if you want to take pictures you have to wait 30 sec like other camera apps.
