我是酷安吸引过来看看的，不准备刷，小白鼠先上，我坐等PE系统。

Mod edit: English please!
Google translation:

I was attracted by Kuan to take a look. If I don’t plan to brush, the mouse will go first, and I will wait for the PE system.

Awesome, thanks for your work! Should be possible to compile TWRP with your device tree and kernel now as well, right?!
Would you mind explaining why copy-partitions is needed and what it does?

Should work, i guess. And for TWRP no special kernel is needed. The recovery partition just contains a ramdisk (the recovery itself), with no kernel. During boot the bootloader merges the available ramdisks (depending on the boot mode ofcourse).
E.g. when you start the device normaly, it will merge the ramdisks from boot and vendor_boot (soc specific kernel modules)
When you start recovery it will merge the ramdisks from boot, vendor_boot and then recovery.

Copy partitions copies all slotted partitions (_a ad _b ones) from the current active slot to the inactive slot (e.g. when youre on slot a, it will copy all of them to their _b counterparts).
This is needed because motorola does not ship the second slot populated. So in case you have a fresh device (no OTAs and so, or you just flashed stock again), the second slot will be completely empty (no bootloader, no nothing). And A/B devices switch slots after every flash of a ROM, so the device would then try to boot into an empty slot, which fails and would kick you into qualcomms emergency download mode (9008).
If blankflash would help you in that state, im not sure.

Using it for like 2 weeks now as a daily driver. Netflix should work, but as L3 (idk if L1 would work, my device never was L1, so cant test that)

    What are your plans for this ROM ? Will you maintain it for a while ?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Yes, planning to maintain it, and eventually going official (but few things still missing for that).

    Good idea, only found one for the Edge 30 Pro (X30), but if theres enough requests, will create one.

    1) Yes, but that still requires some work, first we need full kernel source, and the as its a new platform as a whole, a lot needs to be worked out, especially with the GKI stuff.
    2) it should be uncertified even on stock as soon as you unlock your bootloader (atleast when everything is properly implemented). I didnt modifiy the Lineage source here for some hacks to prevent that.
    3) Selinux is enforcing, so all security risks you might have come from either trusting unknown apps or when you have magisk, giving apps you dont really know root access? They might complain though that the device is rooted without magisk and its hiding abilities.

    Hello, I just installed rom lineage, I followed all the steps, but the stock rom started, how is it possible?Has anyone else installed the rom?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Thats a very interesting question. As its VAB, even when switching slots back, i didnt manage to boot stock when i tried a few weeks back... Were there any errors during the flash process? Do you have logs maybe?
    When you flash again, enable adb in advanced settings of the recovery and adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
