Hello,

It's grateful to know insights regarding privacy, integrity and trust in the realm of custom ROMs and how development process and the importance of trust in the vendor, upstream developers, and the community as a whole plays a vital role in development of ROM.

The trust we place in developers like yourself is crucial, as we rely on your expertise and commitment to moral ethics. Your dedication to building reliable and secure custom ROMs is commendable, and it serves as a testament to the power of open-source development and the collaborative efforts of the community.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and insights. Your contributions are greatly appreciated, and they inspire trust in the open-source community and developers like you.

i m noob in this field want to know about privacy in these roms as whole OS is engineered any type of hidden jobs can be implemented in the OS itself. HOW ONE CAN ASSURE ABOUT THE PRIVACY AND INTEGRITY OF THE DATA AND INFORMATION.

Hello colleague, I have already clarified your doubt many times, I myself have had this doubt.
Come on, I've never called myself a developer and despite keeping this device tree for a few years since the great master Jean left it, we value being transparent, all the code is free on github and despite some tweaks, you can compile the rom in the same way as @fwiep , that said, you can calmly check all the ROM source code if you want and the Device Tree, another thing is that we do not block root access in any way, so you can install magisk and by own account see all the processes and apps running in the background, that is, you have full control over the system.

Now in more technical terms:

The system is built using tools fully available on Github, all the source code of the device is on github
The entire system with SELINUX ENFORCE follows the rules and security policies with Forced Security, that is, without proper permissions, there are no apps with system permission running without background
The kernel is also fully online for verification.
Any doubt root access is free, you can install and check for yourself which open source apps are running in the background.

Hello all, sorry to ask but couldn't find any concrete source. Has anyone been able to install the original-ish Moto camera on this? Or, is there any other camera more-or-less adapted to this device, particularly the double lens?

Thanks and thank you fwiep for this release and continued updates.

yes it is possible to install the original camera through a flash mod made by the nemesis team, link below. But I highly recommend a G-cam.

Hi,

Could you try a clean flash without the Gapps and see if that helps?
It has been a while since I had to install from scratch... :)

Good luck, kind regards,

Installed on a stock phone.

I followed the Lineage instructions for similar phone (G6 Power Ocean) https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ocean/install and substituted the TWRP, Lineage, and Gapps ZIPs from the first post.

Everything working. Thank you.

Wish there was a Lineage 20.0 for the XT1925 Moto G6 Ali
A key thing on that page link was this, for me, I couldn't get things working right (kept seeing red could not format stuff), " Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset and continue with the formatting process. This will remove encryption and delete all files stored in the internal storage, as well as format your cache partition (if you have one). " After doing something close to that (I can't remember if I rebooted or not, but went to install ROM and the gapps, all is well now.

Please, is there an option or feature to make the home screen clock widget appear in bold characters (big letters) as seen in other "Material You" - ready devices, or this could only be implemented or added by default in a new ROM update?

Not sure if this is solely an Android 13 possibility, which I doubt. Thank you.

Hi,

There doesn't seem to be a straight-forward way to customize the font (-weight) of the home screen clock widget. However, you can install Google's clock app from the Play Store. That widget has a bold font out of the box. Have tested it myself, just now.

Hope this helps, kind regards,
FWieP

Awesome FWieP, for chiming in and a wonderful suggestion!

Indeed, couldn't find any way to customize it, from the user end at least. So I tried the Google app as indicated and it worked exactly as needed. On a side note, since I'm not too fond of Google's apps overall due to constant "spying", as I downloaded I did see 1 tracker noted in the latest version of the app, I just was like: really! (Laughs).

Well, very much appreciated your help which came promptly.

Best,

Cheers

Remove the sim tray and log in. This will work 100%. Then reinsert the sim tray again.

    Hello all,

    Thanks to the LineageOS-developers and @brunogroa, this is my build containing the September-2023 security patches.

    I plan to keep this build updated with the monthly security patches, for as long as LineageOS supports Android 12. Only the last build will be available for download; I'll keep this post as up-to-date as possible.

    Update: OTA
    Since the 2022-10-20 build, there is an OTA updater included in this ROM. It asks my download server for an updated build - just like in the official LineageOS. Don't forget to set it to check every month. It will download and install automatically; make sure you have a compatible recovery installed (preferably TWRP, see Links below).

    DownloadIncluded/additional features
    Known bugs
    • 2nd SIM-card is not detected after reboot; open and close 2nd SIM-slot while booted to remedy
    • mobile-data and wifi-data measurements are always set to 0 bytes

    tem previsão para A13??
    voce vai trazer o Lineage 20.1?
    **Translated by moderator**
    Do you have a forecast for A13?? will you bring Lineage 20.1?

    Será que vai ser possível a 20 vim para o moto G6 ali? tô muito ansioso para trazerem essa querida atualização, sei que você não é obrigado a tá atualizando o tempo todo mas espero muito que você traga essa atualização pra gente, desde já agradeço
    Hi,

    As far as I know, the developer who kindly provides the kernel-, device- and vendor sources has no plans to port Android 13 (LineageOS 20) for the ali.

    However, Android 12.1 will receive security updates for at least 18 months or so (in light of Android 10 support being dropped about two months ago). Personally, I am happy with this extended support; keep in mind it's a device launched in 2018 :).

    I am just a builder. If you can provide stable device-, kernel- and vendor sources for A13, I'll gladly give building a try. But at this moment, my G6 stays at LineageOS 19.1.

    Kind regards,
    FWieP

    Yes, as are just about any custom ROM for the G6. Only stock OS is 32bit.
    That's why there is a link to a 64bit TWRP - the ROM can't be installed in a 32bit TWRP.

    Kind regards,
    FWieP

    PSA - Don't update to an android 12.x ROM on the G6 if you use Microsoft Intune.

    There's a bug with Intune on android 12:

    Which appears to be fixed on a ROM-by-ROM basis by manufacturers and the community, meaning some ROMs work and some don't.

    Example:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/usrf7b
    I tried all three of the 12.1 ROMs we have for the G6 and Intune is broken on all of them.

    Went back to an 11-based ROM and it works fine.

    Using FlameGapps for Android 12.0, I try to flash it in TWRP after I flash my ROM (clean flash of course), and I get "Wrong android version detected This package is for android: 12.0 only Your ROM is Android: 12"

    This is because of the 12.0 and 12.1 (also called 12L) difference. This ROM is 12.1 (LineageOS 19.1). Please find packages for 12.1 specifically. Confusing, I know :)

    Kind regards,
    FWieP
