[ROM][10.0.0_r41]LineageOS 17.1 for Moto E5 (nora) + Recovery [64Bit]

[froggeroo]

Thank you for your hard work! Im having a "video recording/playback" issue. Camera seems to record, a file is generated, but then when I open that file theres no image, just the audio. Anyone with similar problem?

Yes, I have a similar problem. I can record videos, but the files generated from it are significantly too long (tens to hundreds of hours). Whenever I boot my phone I initally just get a screen showing "N/A" and after booting it initially always shows the date and time from when I first installed/booted up the rom. I suspect at least the first and last issue might be connected and the device/system somehow fails to keep the correct time at all levels and thus adds a lot of needless hours to the video file because one part of the system tells it it is whatever time it actually is and the other is stuck a couple days behind, making the resulting video several days long even though it's just a couple seconds.

Edit: audio and video also seem to be split, with one showing at the very beginning and one at the end. This is why I also think my problem might be the same as OP's as they only hear the audio (video might also be split).

Edit2: The issue of does not occur when setting the camera app to not record audio. Videos are appropriately short in that case.

After fiddling around with it a bit more, this is what I believe is happening: When you record a video, the audio and video recording parts rely on two different variables/timekeeping mechanisms. The audio portion seems to rely on a time that is stuck around the time of the last boot up of the phone, while the video portion uses the correct time. If I boot up my phone at around 8:00 and record a five second video at 10:00, the audio portion registers an audio recording starting at 8 that lasts five seconds. Thr video portion registers a video recording at the actual 10:00 that also lasts five seconds. Those two parts are then smooshed together resulting in a video that is nominally two hours and five minutes long. The first five seconds of the video only have audio, the last five only video and everything in between is dead space that is inaccessible, only the first and last five seconds can actually be played back.

I am able to boot to the TWRP img using "fastboot boot xxxx.img", however touchscreen is not working so I cannot press anything. I can only use the phone buttons, but only to lock the screen, so I had to remove the battery to force shutdown and restart the phone.

I downloaded the rom file thanks to you but I can't download the twrp recovery boot img a link for that would be marvelous

I think you read the OP's instruction that is on the top page. You can download nora-rec.img at that page. One more is necessary that might be hard to find. This is from article #65:

recovery-twrp64-nora_pro-fix 20889.img

I hope you can install the rom.

KERNEL: https://github.com/motoe5/android_kernel_motorola_msm8937/tree/twerk-X

I just noticed the OP mentioned a kernel that isn't further mentioned in the instructions. Are we also supposed to flash that one? Is there any chance that might resolve some of the issues I mentioned in my initial post #81

I have xt1944-2, my touch screen doesnt work too, but I compiled kernel with changes to nora_defconfig:

CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_ILITEK_CHIPSET=y
CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_ILI9881H=y
CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_FOCALTECH_MMI=y

and it works now

attaching patched boot.img
you flash it using

fastboot flash boot boot_nora_touchfix.img

found issues so far:
-lte doesnt work
-video recording files come out broken when uptime is more than few hours(example: my uptime is 10:47:00, when I record 2s video with sound and when i play it, it appears like its 8h 30min long), same as #81, #82

I have xt1944-6. I do not have touch screen issue but I also have lte issue (may have video recording issue, I do not use it). We have RR and crDroid for nora now. I am very much interested in issues you have may or may not happen there, especially lte issue. I still have lte issue with crDroid. Solving the lte issue is my main objective now. Waiting for your another report.

I still have touch screen and lte issues with RR and CrDroid, but my kernel patch doesnt work there(wont boot)

Hey there, after observing the issue a bit more, it looks like for me the time that is being added to the video is more or less precisely the time the device has been in sleep mode/display turned off (detailed description here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ction-remix-for-moto-e5.4337565/post-85700181) Maybe you can check if it's the same for you, to narrow the issue down a bit.

hello greetings my model is the following MotoE5 (XT1920DL) is compatible this rom

 

[Korin67]

Since the links are down, I am trying to build this one from sources, the build is successful, but when I flush it it it doesn't work (stuck at bootloader).

Here is my manifest:

<manifest>
  <project path="device/motorola/james" remote="github" name="HyperTeam/android_device_motorola_james" revision="lineage-17.1"/>
  <project path="device/motorola/msm8937-common" remote="github" name="HyperTeam/android_device_motorola_msm8937-common" revision="lineage-17.1"/>
  <project path="kernel/motorola/msm8937" remote="github" name="motoe5/android_kernel_motorola_msm8937" revision="twerk-X"/>
  <project path="vendor/motorola" remote="github" name="HyperTeam/proprietary_vendor_motorola" revision="lineage-17.1"/>
  <project path="system/qcom" remote="github" name="LineageOS/android_system_qcom" revision="lineage-17.1"/>
</manifest>

Here is how I init'ed my repo:

repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-17.1

I tried to do the build with ForkLineageOS, but since 10.0.0_r53, ForkLOS is no longer building (sources incompatible link)

Then I just renamed everything in devices/motorola/james to nora (including the folder itself).
Then breakfast nora -> brunch nora

The build is successful, but it just doensn't work.
I am guessing that the kernel is not compatible with 10.0.0_r53, I am not sure how to make a 10.0.0_r41 build.

Do you still continue this build project? I found a device tree for nora (no need to modify james tree). I want to try myself but my PC is only equipped with 8GB RAM. Just waiting someone else would try.

Edit: Okay, I tried with 8GB Ram PC. As is anticipated the build stopped (due to the shortage of RAM ). The error message is like this:

Okay, guys
My project of build LOS17.1 with my low-end PC was first failed. But, by adding swap I could manage to build it. It boots, so show the link. If you are interested in newer build, download it. It is a bit smaller in size than OP's 20210406 build, but it boots.
It seems very few (or almost no) people watch this thread. I will keep quiet from now on.
