Moto Gestures Works (Predefined Back, Recent, Home, Longpress. The moto action option in setting is broken, do not complain)

How To Flash:
You don't need to wipe internal storage or format it, U can proceed with given instructions .If it does not work then format and flash these things again.
0- Backup your data :p (Just in case if something goes wrong)
1- Wipe system/cache/dalvik cache/data
2- Flash Lineage OS Treble Build
3- Wipe data/dalvik cache/cache/system
4- Flash PR1 GSI as "system image". (Search on google how to do that if you doing this for first time)
5- Mount vendor and flash post POST-sGSI_1 ,POST-sGSI_2 , VoLTE ,Cam, FP and Lag Fix Final P zip

7- Flash AceKernel
8- Flash magisk 16.7 Beta.
9- Reboot

Notes:
-VoLTE will not show any "HD capable" sign in status bar or "Enhanced 4G Support" in network settings , you have to call to test it.
-On first boot , Device will power off automatically and go to recovery, don't worry , just reboot again and it will be fine this time.
-After boot You have to install Google Play Services version 12.8.74 (apkmirror) to get rid of notifications after boot. Install it via adb or by downloading apk file on ur phone or PC.

Enable P style gestures:
If you see oreo style navbar by default , Go to settings > Sytem > Gestures > then turn ON "Swipe Up on Home Button"

Enabling MTP :
Go to Settings > Developer Options > Default USB Configuration > Select "File Transfer"


Bugs:
1- Flashlight option in QS tiles is grayed out sometime, just reboot one or two times to make it work.Flashlight in camera apps works all time.

Workaround For Flashlight: Download Godly Torch Apk - https://github.com/BRoy98/GodlyTorch/releases/download/v1.4.6/GodlyTorch-1.4.6-640.apk

First I would like to thank everyone who worked on this ROM and made it so fast possible for us to use it.
I got a few questions:
- I assume the ROM is stable enough to use it as a daily driver, but how stable is it compared to the lastest LOS ROMs?
- Will the install/update process be 'easier' when the official source comes out?
- Moto actions don't work in the settings, should I install the apk as alternative?
- Are opengapps required? If so, when do I need to flash it during the install process?

1- its in beta stage , not perfect and stable as lineage but can be used as daily driver.
2 - that option always crashes. You can not assign ur own gestures for fingerprint.
3- Thats a stupid question , maybe u didn't read the flashing procedure. (Gapps already included) . You need the files specified in first post, if u flash other things other than these , Do not complain that its not booting.

After installing just give some time to cmplt the system update and then it works as as butter and everything is working as it should be.
Volte also works by default

Even after installing required google play services from playstore the google update notifications aren't disappearing from notification panel.
You can disable the pixel setup app .
If google play store notification are not disappearing , then force stop it once. If they still comes back , then do install the apps which google play store is suggesting to download through notification.
