I uploaded a new build:
lineage-15.1-20181216-UNOFFICIAL-cedric.zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603876513

- Security patch levels of 2018-12-05
- MicroG included
- Root included (needs to be activated in developers options)
- Signature spoofing: restricted patches
- Signed with my own keys
- No wipe needed from my previous builds

If you come from a different version, you may have to wipe, because I use my own keys.

Enjoy flashing :)

Cheers

P.S.: Use Footej Camera or Open Camera
P.P.S.: This rom has MicroG included. If you don't like MicroG, don't install it. If you don't like MicroG, but still want to install it, don't complain about MicroG :p

I love german engineering ^^

I have bad and good news

Personally, I don’t really care about the Radio FM stuff because it does not matter to me. Of course, I could try to use LineageOS 15.1 and use the workaround when it comes to WhatsApp’s web app – but if I forget that workaround just once, my phone will be bricked again.

So, what do the developers say? Will LineageOS 16 for the Moto G5 (cedric) be published in a few days? And will it be an official custom ROM for that device?

(By the way: What does it mean when it says that LineageOS 15.1 is an unofficial custom ROM for the Moto G5 (cedric)?)
Bad news: you will not see LOS 16 coming soon.

Good news: the dev does not publish it because he wants to fix all the errors for this rom, because he dislikes having junk mail about the same mistakes and that they do not give logs.

Bad news 2: obviously LOS 16 will not be official.

Good news 2: there are 2 confirmed roms that will have official support, the unofficial rom are DU, Aex, Pixel Experience, Arrow, Pixys OS, Bootleggers, Crdroid and maybe more.

Skype does not work

Next issue: Skype does not work. It just doesn’t start properly and even reinstalling the whole thing does not solve the problem. I can just see a screen that says that Skype introduced new functionalities, has a new design and that it is brandnew.

Is this a LineageOS 15.1 problem or a Skype problem?

I'm on AospExtend 5.2 which is Android version 8.1.0, call quality is garbage, battery life is great though. No HDR on the camera, playstore is all working great.

Does the latest version of Lineage really fix the call quality? How is battery life?

I'm already on 64bit so I guess I shouldn't fear losing my IMEI from update to this ROM?

Yes, why go forward! Lineage 14 has also many bugs, they need to be fixed.

Please can people in this thread stop talking absolute nonsense. Soham and other developers work extremely hard and pay for the resources to develop out of there own keep. Please be patient and google things in here. A mistake is hugely different to a bug. The dev does not cause bugs which are within these roms. They occur like on every other device. There is no real difference between Los Official and Unofficial apart from ota. Nightlys are irrelevant the developer will update when there's a need to. Please just stop complaining about bugs if you do not consider helping your self. Basically think smart before you comment.

Kind regards,

Solly.

For what?

Oreo is out since over a year, Moto G5 has the official oreo update and it's working just perfect. LineageOs 15.1 is so freaking buggy (camera is a desaster), I don't see a benefit waiting for anything. I'm on LineageOs since Moto G1 (when it still was the good CyanogenMod, when a team worked on it and not just a student in his free time).

I don't know if it is this device or if LineageOs is generally dying, but it just doesn't make any sense (at least for me) any more to invest time in custom roms.

Very well written. Make Lineage more attractive by creating version 16.

Don't waste your time go back to stock if you don't want bugs. If your not willing to be patient stay on stock.

Lineage os isn't dying - you just don't own an officially supported device

Most phones are unofficial and only become official because some guy in his bedroom has spent his time compiling the source code and fixing any bugs and then spending more of his time maintaining the device tree to a standard approved by lineageos

If you want good developers support I suggest buying a Samsung, oneplus or pixel device

Or become the guy in his bedroom who maintains a device tree and stop moaning about others not doing it

For example I didn't like the fact this device didn't have an official twrp that support encryption - so I worked with someone else who told me what needed to be done and I compiled my own twrp with encryption support which later became the official version

Another guy wanted encryption support in the 64bit twrp for this device so I altered the source code of the 64twrp and added the encryption parts of the official twrp & he compiled it

SafetyNet check failing with Magisk 18.0

Can someone who has Magisk installed confirm if the safetynet check passes? I have done a clean install as in the instructions from stock Nougat and flashed Magisk 18.0; both the ctsProfile and the basicIntegrity checks are failing.

Thanks a ton. Keep up the good work, devs!

Flash the following magisk module and change the device fingerprint - this should fix CtsProfile

https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228

For basic integrity if the above doesn't work try magisk the last magisk v17

Note I don't own this device

I came across this module before but the description states that this module is useless if the basicIntegrity check fails

Edit (after your edit): Tried flashing the module nevertheless and it's still the same. Downgrading to magisk v17 seems to be a reasonable thing to do but I'm not sure of doing it. That shall be my last resort

Just flash the Uninstaller then flash magisk v17

Tried, but it's still the same in the older version - both the checks fail. Is there any other fix that you know of?

If it fails with a clean flash of the rom - no magisk or any other zips flashed you will have to contact whoever compiled it as if they put mods in it then it probably broke basic integrity - might need kernel changes - who knows

I'm running this ROM on Indian XT1677 with stable Magisk v18 and it passes for me. No fingerprint change or anything. Able to use all banking apps as well.

    Quick side note:
    Divest seems to support Lineage 15 ASBs by backporting the A9 patches and picking the A7 ones. They even have a custom script to apply the patches. They are known to take stuff to the next level when it comes to security even sacrificing drm, so be careful what you are picking (I think breaking drm changes happen during the blob removal tho, so you should be safe by just adapting the script).



    Edit:
    They even bump the security patch, so it might be more complete than the los patches
