[ROM][12L][WIP] LineageOS 19.1 [UNOFFICIAL] [osprey/merlin]

[althafvly]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 12 (S), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

Wow, development has came a long way for this device. It's nice to see Android 12 for this device!

One issue though; the task switcher is broken. If this were to be fixed I would use this rom more often.

I do know this device isn't my daily driver anymore, but I understand that this is a work in progress.

Amazing. Thanks for the support on Merlin ^^.

• * Required * firmware version must be based on Marshmallow

I'm sorry but does this mean to flash it we must be in marshmallow based firmware first?

Also amazing work for a 6 year old phone!

@althafvly ....you mad scientist you!!! Is this a build of Android 12 I see for a little budget device that launched with Android Lollipop back in 2015? Guys hats off to @althafvly for keeping the 3rd Gen Moto G spirit alive. He never fails to surprise me with these miraculous custom builds. It is well done, Sir. Thank you for your hard work and continued dedication to the beloved Moto G3. Love for both the Osprey and Merlin models. Bravissimo

OP, the January, 2022, security patch build seems more fluid and responsive than the previous builds. In addition to bringing up the security patch level, did you make stability improvements and bug fixes also? Thanks.

This ROM works fine, thank you! Great work to keep this old mobile up to speed!
The only thing is the widgets, I can't seem to find them. Long pressing on the home screen doesn't present any choice to add them.
And the battery light stays on although I turn it off in the settings.
Minor stuff, of course, but still, I wonder.

Edit: I tested Nova launcher and the widgets are there, but just not accessible via Trebuchet.

 

[LineAngelCM]

is it compiled as android go?, is it possible that the surnia was the same?

 

[KairiTech]

Where do I get the correct Gapps version for 19.0?

EDIT: Never mind. I got everything I need working without it.

Hi. I am new to this and want to install this os on my moto g turbo. But i am unable to figure out the steps to follow. If anyone could provide me the link to a guide that i could follow for this, it would be helpful. Also, do i need to root my phone to install this os?
Thank you.

All done. I was able to find some guides and installed the OS. Bugs are the same as mentioned at the top. And it works beautifully. Thank you.

good evenings, I know this was posted long time ago, I nhave a friend that has the moto g3, do you recommend me to update his device?? I am very scared by watching at the bugs you mentioned, also... I saw a recent update I'm going to use that one, is it stable? Thanks, Giyax

 

[alex-grey]

sorry friend, but when I do a clean installation and then install the gapps it doesn't let me or the start of my google account doesn't appear

 

[Pierfai]

Hello all, thank you for this work! In my osprey 2/16 LTE don't work

Since 17.1 updates stopped, I consider jumping on 18.1 or 19.1....any reason to prefer 18.1 to this most recent unofficial LOS ROM?
Is it possible to use the SD card as internal storage in 19.1?
