i dont understand, then how come a 5 year old device like Moto G3 (osprey) has official LOS 17.1 support when it does not have any latest sources

I'm not a ROM developer and I'm going off memory, too lazy to read up on it. If I'm getting this completely wrong, someone feel free to correct it.
From what I remember, LOS uses its own version of the kernel. I assume that device specific changes, taken from the device kernel sources, are merged into the LOS kernel. In this case the Moto G3 kernel changes will have been merged in long ago and are sufficient to be used with all versions of LOS since.
In our case, with the sources available, we cannot get a good enough FOD implementation. The latest MIUI kernel used with LOS gives a good FOD experience.
To be official LOS all hardware should work to the same level as stock ROMs, so we cannot get certified with a greatly inferior FOD functionality. Therefore we need the latest kernel sources, to get the FOD changes in the LOS kernel.

Again, I'm not a ROM developer and so this is going off memory and from me piecing together bits of info I've picked up from different places, so it might not be completely correct.

It would be possible to use the outdated kernel sources to make LineageOS official for this phone but it would also offer a much poorer user experience than this unofficial ROM with the prebuilt kernel. But If the maintainer of this ROM thinks it is not worth the effort it would not happen.

The LOS requirements state that hardware should work as well as stock ROM, so we cannot get official with what's available

Edit:
Ok, so just had some time to look at the LOS site again. It doesn't have its own kernel. However, the Linux kernel is GPL v2 licensed, which requires all derivatives to make the source code available. Therefore whichever kernel is used in LOS, for a specific device, it must have the kernel source code in the LOS device tree (this could be pulled in from the kernels original project). (There are other requirements around the kernel, e.g. No under/over clocking/voltage, no breaking USB charging specs, etc., etc., so this rules out using many/most custom kernels)
So for our device, the MIUI kernel could be used 'as is' if we had the source code from Xiaomi to link into a raphael LOS device tree.

So I have been using the unofficial builds since January and I would like to update to the latest unofficial build. I had some questions about updating TWRP and updating to the latest vendor/firmware. Some people here suggest going back to stock MIUI to update to the latest vendor, but I think that is overkill.

1. Is it correct that I can update TWRP by simply flashing the latest version of TWRP for my device? Is there anything special I need to do after I flashed the latest TWRP version? Do I need to reboot into recovery for the first time, into the ROM or does that not matter?
2. Suppose I am on the latest TWRP and would now like to update the vendor/firmware and ROM. Do I:
a. First flash the latest vendor/firmware, wait till it is done and then flash the latest ROM?
b. Select the ROM and then add ZIP, and add the vendor/firmware like that?
c. Selecy the vendor/firmware and then add ZIP, and add the ROM like that?

Watch out for the pop-up camera!

I was playing around with the motorized camera, I maintained the camera motor in extended position when it was retracting and it just stopped recognizing it at all after that, I re-flashed MIUI ROM to solve it. Hope it helps!:)

I flashed MIUI going from Pie to 10, just to be sure everything was as it should be, though this was probably overkill too, but I'll still do the same when I first jump to 11 based ROMs. Otherwise I'll flash vendor and firmware files.

1. Just flash the latest TWRP zip file using your current version of TWRP as you would any other zip file.
When you boot into TWRP it runs in memory, so after flashing a new version, you'll still be running the original version. At this point there is no requirement to do anything, you will start using the new version when you next boot into TWRP, whenever that may be.
If you want to use the new TWRP straight away, just use the TWRP boot menu and select recovery. This will boot into the newly installed version.
2. For LOS and other ROMs that check which vendor you have during the install, you will need to flash the vendor/firmware first, so that it passes the check. This could be a. or c. above. Personally I do a., just in case there's a problem.

Hiya,

I have been having a problem with caller ID for probably close to a year now. Basically most people will show up as unknown even though they are in my phone but weirdly enough not everyone does. Before I didnt post anything here as I was too lazy to update the rom and was months behind (I know, I know). However this weekend I updated and after a small test I saw that the problem persists eventhough I did a complete clean install + vendor update.

Does anyone know what might be wrong? I gave the google phone app all the permissions it wants. I installed gapps pico as the aroma installer doesnt work for me.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions!

The issue is known and the solution is also known. If you disable 4g calling, the problem should be solved.

It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.
