[UNOFFICIAL][16.0][TREBLE] LineageOS for Motorola Moto Z2 Play (albus)

[EmaMaker]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 (P), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

Known issues:

• Moto Mods Projector and Hasselblad Camera are unknown to work.
• Moto Mods with Battery do not report the battery
• VoLTE and VoWIFI not working

Moto Mods:

• Moto Mods Projector and Hasselblad Camera are unknown to work.
• All the other Moto Mods work, but Battery Mods do not report the percentage in the status bar

Instructions:
Always have a backup of the EFS partition made with TWRP stored somewhere, as you may lose IMEI. Restore it if you get 0 as IMEI when booted into the ROM.
Before installing, make sure oreo was the last stock ROM you installed. See notes below if you come from Stock Pie

• Download Official TWRP from twrp.me
• Flash the TWRP via fastboot
• Enter TWRP, go to wipe menu and Wipe Dalvik, Cache, Data, System and Internal Storage.
• In TWRP Wipe Menu, do Format Data, then reboot into recovery
• Flash the latest build
• Flash eventual GApps and SU addon
• Reboot

Downloads:

• Latest Unofficial build: AFH
• Google Apps: OpenGapps
• SU Addon: LineageOS Extra Downloads

Notes
TWRP
If the touchscreen doesn't work when rebooting into recovery, press the power button twice to turn off and on the screen. The touchscreen will now work just fine.

GSIs
This LineageOS build ships with Project Treble compatibility (lite VNDK), meaning you can flash a GSI as System Image from TWRP. Please don't report GSI bugs here, report them instead to the GSI's maker. A Format Data from TWRP is required after flashing a GSI in order to avoid problems.
Technical details on our Treble implementation:
This device is a community-treble device, meaning other devs before us made it compatible with Project Treble (lite VNDK), using the oem partion as a vendor. GSIs still have some problems regarding cpu frequency scaling and camera. You have been warned.
.

Coming from stock pie?
For the sake of simplicity, I said that coming from stock oreo was needed. In reality you just need to flash the oreo modem files. There's a script that does exactly that, made by @juniorpassos: https://mega.nz/file/IRxjGDjL#vkdvh4JcMy-LuWgQz4rHhgpWV80029X4ql0_zcMpVug. The script will erase your userdata and cache.
Before starting this script, make sure you have a backup of your EFS partition stored somewhere safe, outside phone's internal storage. After the backup is done, you can reboot your phone into fastboot mode and start the script. Now reboot into TWRP, go into "Wipe" menu and Format Data. Now you can reboot into the ROM. If you get 0 as IMEI, or any other problem related to RIL, go into TWRP and restore the EFS backup made previously.

Wanna help?
If you find a problem or a bug, please share a logcat with us, alongside an explanation of the problem and steps to reproduce. We won't accept bug reporting without a logcat. Collect logcat with:

adb logcat -b all > logcat.txt

There's a guide made by a user to install the ROM, written in both Portuguese and English, here it is: https://telegra.ph/Como-instalar-LOs-160-How-to-install-LOs-160-08-04

So how's battery? I'm not sure what does it mean:

CPU governorns have some issues. Conservative is recommended for an optimal battery life

Also if I run Oreo 8.1 ROM currently and never had Pie installed do I need anything to do before flashing this? Like upgrading firmware or something?

Regarding battery: it's quite good, it can get you through the day without any flaws. Since I'm doing frequent tests and I often hook up the phone to the computer, I don't have good screenshots to show you. Will edit the post eventually when I get some. In alternative, you can join the telegram groups and ask someone. We worked on the cpu scaling and governorns and an update will come for it soon.
Regarding firmware: no, you don't have need to update firmware, and updating it may actually cause some problems with RIL. It's perfect if you stay on the oreo firmware.

I'm tempted to give it a try and probably will next weekend but as Z2P is my main phone I want to ask few things:

1. Do fingerprint gestures work?
2. Does notification LED work?
3. Does "active display" (showing notifications and time with locked screen) work?
4. Have you tried it with Magisk? I'd prefer Magisk rather than Addon SU.

1. Work

3. The feature you are speaking about is Ambient Display, and yes, that works
4. Yes, magisk works

hi people, nobody is testing it?
i would like to try it, but i can't right now
battery work fine after cpu governors fix?
thanks

 

[meelten]

I tried today. ROM installs and boots fine but my SIM card is not detected at all (I live in Europe if it matters).

Also, encryption doesn't work. Every attempt to encrypt phone resulted in bootloop.

Can't say much more because without SIM I can't use it and had return to LOS 15.1


UPDATE: I tried restoring ESF partition as well as flashed stock modem as stated in #1 post but with no luck. Even tried install 15.1 first and then flash 16.0 on top of it (without full wipe/format) but it didn't help either. SIM is just not detected.

On-Screen Navigation Bar

I upgraded from the old Official Lineage 15.1 today. I am having a problem getting the navigation bar to show up (Back, Home, App). I search the settings and it hits "Enable on-screen nav bar" in the "Buttons" sub-menu, but when I go there, there is no option shown

Hi. I installed this rom a few days ago from Havoc based in 8.0 and I had to flash modem cause my imei was 0 in lineageos, after this i have signal normally but can't get H+ or 4G, only H. Another problem is that my whatsapp voices notes are recorded with low volume. All the other things work fine, battery, performance, active display, fingerprint and motorola gestures, all it's ok. Great rom!

I would like that the power off menu and quick settings can't be disables in the lockscreen. In third world it would be usefull haha.

 

[meelten]

...

Did you flash this modem linked in first post? I wonder what your "fastboot getvar all" shows because mine says "baseband: not found". Which is strange to me because on Oreo roms everything works. I don't know if I flashed that modem correctly.

Yeah, first issue is modem, second is audio; both things were updated and are now in testing. So keep an eye out!
And lastly, i dont think that's possible, at least on our side, it seems to be Lineage controlled

There were some issues on modem on the latest release, mostly location-related; so keep an eye out for the update!

My sim card don't work even after I flashed the moden and the .EFS backup, and the device cant connect with the pc via usb when it's turned on.

How to get an on screen navigation bar

How to get an on screen navigation bar:
1. Root phone (I used the SU addon in the OP)
2. Enable navbar with the app "Navigation bar remover/activator (root)" by Conena
3. If you want to customize the navbar use "Custom Navigation Bar" by paphonb (you can reorder buttons freely in "Expirimetal tweaks")

Does anyone know how i can disable the fingerprint gestures ?

Use adb shell as su and run setprop qemu.hw.mainkeys 0

Hey there, I was about to tell a friend to give a try to this ROM instead of phhusson's AOSP v222 to see if by any chances it could solve his trouble with NFC not working.

Therefore can we have any feedback from people here about this? So does the NFC work?

Thanks by advance

And thanks @EmaMaker and others for this work!

NFC it's not reported in the Know Issues section, hence it's a working feature

I'm feeling dumb to ask you this, but where is the Known Issues section?

OK, IDK how I missed it...
