[ROM][james] Unofficial Lineage OS 15.1 for Moto E5 Play (beta v1.01)

[tbirdguy]

The -3 full ROM is available. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/development/rom-stock-android-8-0-0-rom-moto-e5-t3806530
And don't beat yourself up. With these newer Moto smartphones, and Android Oreo source code in general, a great many things have changed.

I meant the 1921-3 variant stock rom for tmobile not the -3 build lol

Ahh. My bad. I have been checking daily for firmware for yours and other variants. If I can locate it, you'll be the first to know.

I have the same problem with the camera with GSI roms on a motorola e5 plus (rhannah). I get the impression that Motorola has something not standard in its handling of cameras of this family of devices

The camera problem with most Motorola devices running custom ROMs is that Android source code is open source and readily available to the public. The hardware drivers/blobs for the cameras themselves are not typically open source, although some OEMs are slowly open sourcing this type of code. So if a developer does not have access to the actual hardware blobs for the camera, the tedious process of creating custom shims must be undertaken. Extremely tough to do.
I should mention that @phhusson has a camera fix for Lineage 15.1 on Moto E5 Play, but he stated early in the thread that he has not done a commit for this fix as of yet.

Camera is fixed in last Resurrection remix.

RR doesnt show the nav buttons on 1921-3...
that still just an edit to build.prop? or do i need to flash /vendor in the light of a harvest moon, with eye of newt and a drop of milk from a virgin titty....

 

[allenjthomsen]

I've managed to install the ressuretion remix gsi and still no data on that either I'm thinking it's boot.img related somehow based on my knowledge maybe we need a custom kernel or ril files from stock moved to the gsi's

It's under settings then configurations then navigation then turn it on

 

[MotoJunkie01]

On the data and camera issues, I believe these are related to the boot image, which is taken from the most current stock build for this device. I have some extra time this weekend so I'm going to do some debugging and try to iron these out. It appears that these major bugs may be due to lib issues between the kernel and the system directory.

 

[Fersho]

Before trying, I make it boot on Moto E5 XT1944-2 but the only issue is that there isn't any no-verity kernel for E5 normal, and camera is not working as it is said, but at least it boot, I've just need to flash stock image

Update on flash! 15.1 e5 play motorola - sprint variant

MOTOJUNKIE - Followed the directions and flashed this ROM and TWRP successfully to my Motorola E5 play. 03 September 2018.

Bugs noted -
1. Camera - Does not function.
2. TWRP cannot decrypt the flash storage for read / write in recovery (even with correct password and/or pattern.)
3. adb - non operational at this point.
4. Carrier data - non operational at this point.

Currently downloading the source for -
1. LineageOS 15.1
2. AOSP 8.1.0_R43

I'd like to try and get all of these issues solved. Maybe we can collaborate or work together on this.
PM me - I'm very new to this - but willing to help out and test if I can!

Did you use codyf86's device tree from github for your LineageOS build?

Guys please provide feedback and feel free to contribute on this. I have more custom ROMs on the way such as ResurrectionRemix, PixelExperience, and AOSP-Extended. But I don't have a lot of free time to maintain ROMs, so I'm going to need help ironing out bugs and compiling patches.

Thank you for your feedback on the ROM. On your decryption issue, you will need to modify the fstab file in your /vendor partition in order to disable force encryption, since fstab is no longer part of the boot image. @CodyF86's root and TWRP thread for the Moto E5 Play should offer guidance on this. The camera commits have not been added to the GitHub repository as of yet, but the camera has been fixed. When commits are added I will patch the ROM. I am presently working on RIL/data connectivity issues myself. On your ADB issue, I'm not experiencing any issues on my end, so I'll need to look into that problem further.

Thanks for your efforts everybody, awesome work. What is required to get this working for the Moto E5 T-Mobile variant XT1921-3? I'd really like to have Lineage OS running on mine.

 

[wihzard]

I want to see about getting the Boost Mobile Moto E5 Plus on something like HavocOS, it was my personal favorite from when I had the Moto G5S Plus for the customization options, Omniswitch, and portrait camera.

 

[Fersho]

Good news guys, I've installed Pie GSI on my Moto E5 XT1944-4 and it boot, then camera is working, I've just got only graphics issues but the other things are working fine

 

[Fersho]

does anybody know how to reduce lag? I've tried editing build.prop but it doesn't works, all Treble roms I've tried are a little bit laggy

 

[weakNPCdotCom]

What version of GApps are you guys using with this rom? I am using OpenGApps and I had to register the device to stop getting the uncertified device message, and Google Play Services crashes a lot. It is also impossible for me to add another user to the phone because Play Services Crashes and then spams me with more uncertified device messages on the user setup screen.

 

[Fersho]

If you Install Resurrection Remix Official camera, works fine at least on XT1944-4, also AOSP and Pixel Experiencie P works and camera also, but camera is dark on AOSP, and on Pixel is more clear, then both have glitches with graphics but are in a certain way smooth, ah forgot to mention for those who had issues with Gapps, try to install latest Play Services Beta and try to get Device Id with an apk then register, or if it is already registered just reboot, wait until it works
