• If you are experiencing issues logging in, we moved to a new and more secure software and older account passwords were not able to be migrated. We recommend trying to reset your password, then contacting us if there are issues.
  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done. We still would love to hear feedback over at this thread and also check out the new XDA app! Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new forums, and thanks for your support of XDA <3

For those who don't know glassrom is a small project run by me. It focuses on where lineage left off. There is a stronger focus on speed and security while not having too many features

Current features: removed a lot of debugging from lineageOS and optimised more aggressively
Odexed for faster boot time
Ran through stronger selinux checks by building in user mode (security)
Microg support
Full substratum support with optimisations for lineage. No more weird looking statusbar
Upstreamed kernel to linux-3.10.50
Archidroid optimizations
Pixel UI

All features seem to work. Please report bugs

Thanks for bringing another rom for our device!
We really appreciate it. ;)
Ditto on the thanks!

Two issues that I usually have with custom ROMs are:

1. Not using GLONASS in the satellite based position computation.

2. Broken USB audio streaming.

How does your Glassrom fair in these areas?

FWIW I've been using microG since it became available and its predecessor software before that. I am pretty sure that my GLONASS and USB issues are unrelated to that.

I have been able to reproduce the first issue on every device I've ever had with a custom ROM running

I don't think anything other than the Google devices has that working and a fix could be only possible by a manufacturer

As of now this issue affects oneplus and many other devices too


Audio through USB; that's a complicated topic
I don't have anything that connects by USB to test this. So even if it was broken the fix wouldn't be possible
The second reason, audio through the usb uses digital gain instead of analog gain (which really sucks) so why even use it?

Thank you for the confirmation on the GLONASS situation.

With respect to USB audio streaming, it is the only way I have of listening to the music on my phone through my car's sound system. Not worth getting a newer car just to fix that. :)

Not a big deal about digital gain, just set the phone to full volume and use the car's analog volume control to reduce it to a reasonable level.

Ok so guys I found a new maintainer
Here's what happened: so my moto suddenly stopped working. Like it won't detect my son card at all, won't connect to any WiFi networks, hard reboots randomly, etc

Currently I have exams and so I have no time to get my device in for service

I'm the meantime I found a person who's willing to maintain this until I am back. His username is infinite something... I forgot but basically a build is coming out very soon

Many people here claim they "upstream" their kernel and how secure it is

I've looked through all of those kernels

Here's the simple truth: no kernel for the Moto g4 play is secure or even up to date with security patches

In fact the entire msm8916 family for Moto devices has totally messed up security, at least when it comes to kernel
