Introduction

I use Lineage for my Moto Z, and was bummed out that I wasn't going to get any security updates. So, I decided to learn how to build it myself!

I'm no coder, and I have mad respect for those who actually code and make all of these ROMs possible. That being said, all I know how to do is build the thing from the Lineage repos. I CANNOT FIX BUGS. Period. I would if I could, but I simply don't know how. I can try tiny, very small things, but no guarantees.

I plan on trying to upload builds monthly as time permits, but I have a full time job and other obligations, so it may be irregular. But I like updates as much as everyone, so I'll do my best to build as often as I can.

Installation instructions

Flash using latest TWRP. Upgrades, or "dirty flashes", should be fine between builds.

If you are coming from Lineage 14.1 Official builds, you must first flash the migration zip. The installer won't work when working with different keys. Find it here

Make sure to flash Gapps BEFORE you reboot.

[WebmonkeyJMK]

could you please add 0xC113 bootloader support? from Alberto's AOSP fix I take it shouldn't be a hard fix to make:
-require version-bootloader=0xC105|0xC106|0xC107|0xC112
+require version-bootloader=0xC105|0xC106|0xC107|0xC112|0xC113

Retried build using Alberto97's sources from 14.1-next- camera still broken. I'm guessing it has something to do with a change in the Lineage source code, but I really have no idea. Other than that, everything else seems to be working fine. If anyone wants to give me a lead on the camera problem, maybe I can do something about it.

Just to be clear, I assume by broken camera you mean camera on a system level, affecting any use of camera by any application, right ?

as far as I can tell, yes. I'm doing another build today to see if there's anything I can do about it

Wonder what they could have changed over at Lineage to break it, since camera stuff is pretty device-specific and no one is working on this device now. Good luck at any rate.
　

 

[zander21510]

taking some baby steps with developing! I forked Alberto97's repos and made a couple of changes...including this one:

could you please add 0xC113 bootloader support? from Alberto's AOSP fix I take it shouldn't be a hard fix to make:
-require version-bootloader=0xC105|0xC106|0xC107|0xC112
+require version-bootloader=0xC105|0xC106|0xC107|0xC112|0xC113

I'll do some testing and upload a build later today

 

[zander21510]

New build with fixed camera and Nov 17 bootloader support.

Thanks for your effort man. I really appreciate it. Can you tell me what the security patch level is though?

Still on Dec 5, guess the Jan patch hasn't been merged yet.

 

[zander21510]

So trying to get some things working on my daily driver...my company uses Microsoft Intune Company Portal for access to my work email, which does the standard root checking & etc. On the last official Lineage build, it worked just fine so long as root was shut off in developer tools (if the root zip was installed).

One thing it does which is a bit irritating is that it seems to assume your phone is rooted if you use a rom with test keys, which would be all unofficial builds by default, including mine. So in order to get my work email I'm making signed builds for myself along with the regular unsigned builds. If anyone is interested I can upload signed builds here in case you have some reason you need a signed build. Other than that, I'm not sure there's really any advantage to having a signed build vs an unsigned one. One big disadvantage, you can't migrate to or from any other builds, so you'd be stuck with me unless you wipe

Here are the scripts to migrate from unsigned to signed or the other way around, to dirty-flash without issue :

From what I understand, these only work if you're going between Lineage keys and test keys, not any other keys

 

[sam00561]

Is ther any way to get substratum themes working on this rom i have tried oms and lineage selection but nothing is getting themed.

You're right, what was I thinking...

How did you get updated proprietary blobs?

Forked Alberto97s device & kernel so I could try and fix bugs, and also started using a different repo for the proprietary blobs, that fixed the camera issue! So now it looks like everything is working, android security patch is still on Dec 5 though, but everything else is current. Let me know if there are issues

Thanks for this (and to Alberto97, if you're out there...).

Like you, I finally couldn't take it any more and began building on my own. I, too, had a fully functional phone except for the camera.

I jumped through a few hoops trying to get the proprietary blobs, and finally scraped them out of your build. I installed XT1635-02_ADDISON_7.1.1_NPNS26.118-22-2-8_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC and tried extract-files.sh but that didn't get everything. I didn't try a deeper look, as I was eager to get my phone working again. I unzipped your ROM and extract-files.sh worked. I rebuilt and now the camera works with my build.

How did you get those blobs? Also, do you know if Motorola publishes stock ROMs for addison, or do we always have to get them second-hand from something like lolinet?

Thanks in advance for any info. I'm probably not worthy of taking responsibility after the loss of Alberto97, but I'd be willing to lend a hand or coordinate the effort somehow.

I just added this repo (https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola) to the manifest, you can do that in lieu of the "extract proprietary blobs" step. I noticed there was a fork of it on Alberto97's github (but it was out of date), so I poked around and found TheMuppets one was still being updated, including fixes for addison. So made a build and presto- no more camera issues.

I guess there's some gray legal area when it comes to the proprietary Motorola stuff, that's why it's not listed as an option in the official Lineage build instructions.
