[ROM][Official][condor] LineageOS 14.1 for Moto E

[mortadelax]

Hi. I'm on stock kernel, rooted and flashed stock condor 4.4.4 with twrp. Can I install this lineage? Do I need a different kernel or something extra? Thanks

Yeah you can install lineage.
Just ensure that you are on the latest twrp version.

Thanks for the answer. I checked twrp version, and mine is v2.7.2.0. Do I need to upgrade? Where can I find the latest version?

One last thing. I noticed the rom is a zip. How should I install it? With fastboot command on windows shell (expanding the zip into folder), or with twrp under install option?

Again, thank you. I'll be waiting for your reply.

EDIT: With my version, rom installation via twrp have failed

The latest version of term for our device(condor) is 3.2.3
Can be downloaded from https://dl.twrp.me/condor/

Yes you need to update your twrp as your version is very old and will give errors on installing latest lineage os builds.

You need to install the ROM zip via install option under TWRP and if you want to have Google services (play store) you also need to install GApps zip right after installing the ROM(without ever booting the ROM) and you are good to go.

Tip: Always take backups from TWRP just in case.

Addonsu didn't work. Should I install my old supersu?

Addonsu works. You have to enable in developer settings

Finally worked :victory: Thanks for let me ask a bunch of questions.

One more, should I change my stock kernel for this rom? In that case, how can I go back to stock in case I don't like it?
Do you consider this is the more stable rom for condor at this time? I see a lot of CM/AOSP/other roms 5.1 or 6. :good:

I would not mess around with the kernel. It is good in it's current state. If you are really interested in a new experience I recommend https://lineage.microg.org/ without GApps.

Me tapa la carita

The only thing that got really heavy over time is Google play services. There is a replacement with microG project.

yes, but as other(s) said it's lineage 14.1, is there any lollipop rom I can install microg with?

trying it now anyway

 

[kurtn]

I'm sure there are old ROMs around. And you can always use microG with xposed fakegapps or nanomod patcher. But these old ROMs have even older security patch levels.

ok, but they are also lighter and they also fail because of the signature spoofing I guess?
I tried a flashable zip I found here and nanodroid zip, both failed in checking connection,
do I need only xposed fakegapps and that way I'll get syncing (calendar and contacts) too?

Signature spoofing is not related to contact synching. No idea about synching. I keep things local.

ok, I tried it and I cannot connect to wifi
(the wifi switches on, but all I get is a list of irrelevant wifi, except mine,
I tried to add it manually, it still didn't work,
it also felt a bit laggy, compared to the lollipop I had before,
and last but not least, helium (a very important app for this phone for me)
is facing the "nougat" symptoms, i.e. it doesn't detect root and
needs pc connection (adb) to work,

so, all in all, I'm trying to find a lollipop rom from this list:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/index-list-custom-roms-offering-t3557047
in order to start with microg

With custom ROM you can easily get root and use titanium backup instead of helium.

My ROM before nougat was mokee MK60.1 a marshmallow ROM.

yes I know (I have titanium on my rooted),
but I want to use helium because I've got a no rooted phone and
I apply the settings and take my backups from apps that don't allow otherwise
from my moto e (condor)

Will lineage 15.1 come for this device?

@squid2 is not active at the moment. I see no improvement in upgrading to Oreo. I'm glad we get monthly nougat builds with security updates.
