LineageOS 14.1 ?

I think mi note 2 has been out for a long time but it seems that developers without much attention to this phone. I'm curiously Why ?
Because of old story - MIUI never release kernel source code ? or ...
Whatever it is, I would like to see there is lineageOS 14.1 in this phone.

It's the old story of lack of kernel source. Historically kernel sources have been released about 3/4 months after global rom availability, which happened a few days ago.
It doesn't help that availability all round has been limited for these. With so many people wanting the global edition and there being shortages of that model there's just not that many of these around at the moment in the hands of people that want to mod it. MIUI is very popular in China.
I'm hoping another 3-6 months we'll start to see some serious progress.
Luckily it's in the same device tree as a few other recent releases so there's some level of cross compatibility, lithium (Mi Mix) for example would require only minor modification to work and there seems to be more dev interest in that,
I did consider making a cooked MIUI rom for the Mi Note 2 (inc. xposed, root, a few tweaks here and there) but there didn't seem to be much demand and realistically if you want those features you already get them yourself without any real struggle.
I'm an old dev for CyanogenMod on Xperia.
I will try to put Lineage OS when the source of the kernel will be available.
A port can be possible with the source of the One Plus 3t (i supposed) but is better to wait official release of the kernel.

These Lineage builds are by HondaJohn88 who I'm working with.
I've been bugging him to post them himself (when he does I'll get the old thread locked) but he hasn't yet.
Be aware that not every build he uploads is one that he's planning on sharing (or even an improvement over the last) - occasionally things break and some are more for archiving than actual use.
He shares his work in the Mi Note 2 Telegram group so I'd recommend joining so you can find out which build would be the most worthwhile.

Help, bluetooth audio bug

Hi.
I understand that one of the bugs in the Lineage 14.1 ROM for the Samsung J500M is the bluetooth audio, Resurrection Remix rom v5.8.3 also has the same bug. Is there any solution for this bug ?.
And if there is no solution for that bug I would like to know if the Mokee rom has that same bug.

The developers are trying their level best to fix this bug. Its an Upstream bug of LOS 14.1 therefore RR v5.8.3 also has this bug. You can use AOSP roms like AOSPExt or Cosmic OS , they don't have this bug. And some people have reported that Mokee Rom has the same bugs as LOS so there also the Bluetooth audio is not working.

Thanks for answering. First I want to ask if I misunderstand, I know that the developers are giving everything in this project and thank them. Second, thank you for your response.

Sorry CosmicOS does not support J5M. So you can try AospExt. That Rom supports M but you should flash the 7.1.1 build and not the latest 7.1.2 build because in the latest 7.1.2 build bluetooth audio is not working due to some reason but there is nothing to worry , it will get fixed soon. Till then you can use the 7.1.1 build. In that build bluetooth audio is working perfectly

Install build 7.1.1, taking Lineage 14.1, by doing the following steps:
-Wipe with TWRP.
-Install rom AOSPExt 7.1.1
-After install the gaps
- I did the reboot but it stays in the logo and it does not pass from there.
When I install the rom from the recovery it says success but there is an error which is the following "unmount of / system failed; no such volume".
I think I'm going to go back to the lineage and wait for them to fix the bluetooth audio bug. Thank you.

Is an Android Oreo 8.1 ROM being planned for Moto e4?

I would like it if a developer like nayan deka or amarc78 would provide an Android Oreo (8.1, NOT 8.0) custom ROM for the Moto E4 (Qualcomm), like a RR-O, Pixel Experience 8.1, Lineage OS 15.1, or AICP 13.1.
Any of those would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.
I'd really like that too! I'm really disappointed with Motorola lately. Ever since Lenovo bought them it's been downhill. I know the E4 is a budget phone, but come on Moto, just one major update, please?
Its under construction,,,also place this thread in Q&A section
It's a WIP currently, not to mention a lot of Oreo ROM sources such as Dot, MoonOS, etc. are still WIP too. We'll try when we can ^.^

We try not to ask for eta here. It's actually against the rules. Besides, it's not a matter of porting. It's about creating a device tree for Oreo for this device. That is pretty involved, and there are folks working on it. Sit tight, and try not to ask for eta, it kinda rude. It will happen when it happens. Remember, we don't even have ANY official nougat ROMs yet.

I applied for maintainership of DotOS, once Oreo trees are up and LTE is patched into the trees for it to work without flashing anything then there's a chance Dot will be official. I'm also in the process of applying to have crDroid official for the Perry and also the Falcon. Seems like a few ROM sources are waiting for Oreo builds for devices before bringing on maintainers now that Oreo seems to be the main focus of development

Did this really need a request? Oreo (wait...only 8.1; none of that 8.0 crap) will come when prerequisites are in place and the *volunteer* ROM maintainers have time to address. Until then you'll need to 'suffer' through one of the numerous Nougat based alternatives...including stable, fully featured stock. Toss in Xposed framework and a couple modules and you have everything Oreo brings to the table.

Well, with Lineage OS 15.1 now out in the wild, I can't wait to see it being ported to the E4 soon.
I chose to watch the e4, because of all the phones shown in MetroPCS free offer deal (gonna switch from Sprint soon), the E4 looked more like it could take Lineage OS 15.1. I looked for even LOS 14.1 ROMs, and not one of these phones could provide me with an accurate result, except the e4.
Question: with all these ROMs now developing from Lineage OS 15.1, which ROM would you recommend I flash when I get the phone? RR, AICP, AEX, DotOS, or plain ol' Lineage?
I'd like it if one of the LOS 15.1 developers for the E4 were to make their builds official. It could really help with OTAs.

Dude, it's more involved than you think to make rom official. You don't get to just "make" it official. LineageOS has very strict criteria for it becoming official (especially since 15). Just relax. We're still waiting for an Oreo common tree to be made. All of the nougat ROMs work fine on the metro e4.
It could be weeks before we see anything Oreo related. Maybe you should try learning to build something. You'll see what it takes for an official build. You have to have everything functioning, apply for maintainership, have it reviewed, be responsible for building it weekly, making sure everything stays functioning with every update, etc. Etc.
The roms that are available now are great. These guys do it in their spair time, because they like it.

With Lineage 15.1 for the E4, it's likely similar to how it is with the Moto G4 Play I also have. Only Squid can have Official LOS 15.1 on the Harpia, it'll probably be the same with the Perry especially since he does a lot on the device tree side of things. Plus most devs create ROMs they'd use such as myself (not everyone of course). I'm personally only unofficially maintaining the ROMs I'd personally use and there's no guarantee that I'll be able to become an official maintainer either in the future, it's all up to the ROM source maintainers and also almost every little thing has to be working flawlessly and there's still a few things that need to be worked on for Nougat. I do understand the excitement for a new Android release in the custom rom world, trust me I can't wait to get Oreo running on the E4 after using it on my G4P and I was hella excited for Lollipop on my old Nexus 4 years ago, however after developing I've more than learned it does take time. Madbat's right too, there are a good bit of custom Nougat roms out that will do the job for now and he's also right that it takes a lot to become a maintainer. As for which rom to recommend, all I gotta say is flash a few Nougat roms and experiment with them to see what suits your preferences the most. I might recommend Slim7 or Dot, and you might end up not liking them and like something entirely different. It'll come. Might be a few weeks, might be a month or two from now at least. But I tell you what as soon as trees are all up, expect Dot, MoonOS and possibly SlimROM. I have absolutely no ETA at this point either, just going with the flow right now ^.^
Ok. I heard from recent MetroPCS customers that the battery isn't the best, calls get hung up (and reception isn't good), and multitasking isn't great, there can be some network issues, and unfortunately, a bit more here.
If I were to buy the phone, and flash a one of the Nougat ROMs available, how would they improve the phone, concerning these problems found on the stock ROM? And how good was the gameplay for AR games like Pokemon Go, and graphic-demanding games, like Asphalt 8?

It's a budget phone. It is what it is. I can say from experience, battery life and multitasking are just fine. Reception depends on location. Metro has a pretty big network, and they merged with t mobile.

So I just ordered the verizon variant of this phone.

I am looking for some basic information. Does the second screen work in the latest official nightly build of Lineage OS. Now that a legit android 8 is releasing for this phone, will there likely be official support for lineage 15.1?
Edit: Also, I just realized I posted this is the wrong place. Mods feel free to move it to q and a or wherever. Sorry, it's late.

Official? No, development of the second screen is for lineage 15.1, and there are currently unofficial builds with it working pretty well (landscape mode still doesn't work and a handful of other minor issues) done by both our lineage maintainer x86cpu and by the second screen developers themselves. Official lineage 15.1 support will come at some point when things are super stable, right now things are still in flux a bit, one big thing is working on enabling full project treble support.

Eh I suppose stock based roms like super and alpha rom are a a bit more stable than lineage. I mean lineage 15.1 is solid, but has some minor issues and quirks, while stock based roms have been rock solid.

The Osprey Oracle

The Osprey Oracle​
It's been a while.
If you don't know me, I was active here a few years ago and created the FAQ thread.
I got out of the community for a while but I'm amazed at how strong the osprey development still is, so I plan to Frankenstein my model up to a 16GB/2GB and get back into it. So in that spirit, I want to go back to my RC roots and create a thread for everyone with the most up-to-date info to help keep this device alive.
I've called it the Osprey Oracle as it's more catchy than Moto G 2015 Oracle, but Merlin stuff will be here too.
My general philosophy in compiling this is to create a database of currently maintained or at least recent development, to enable users to find a ROM that is secure and supported. This means, more specifically, ROMs which are still being updated with the latest security patches; this is why you'll find some older versions such as Nougat in this list, because some very generous members are still compiling them with these patches. That means lots of things will be missing, however; if you disagree and would like a fuller, more historical database, let me know.

Thank you very much for your thread.!!!
It is what I was looking for. I am trying to make quicker a relative´s Moto G 2015 and your thread has been very useful.
Warm greetings.
Good list but can you include the 14.1 stock images
I think under Nougat you should also include the link to the Stock 14.1 LinageOS + patches. Not everyone is concerned about Google and replacing them with microG.
Personally I've found sticking with Android 7.1 is best with this model of phone. Everything works out of the box, and it doesn't slow down.

Just added, didn't realise anybody was still building it with the latest patches. fyi MSe1969's microG build simply provides the option of using microG if you want, you still have the choice to then actually install the microG apps or just flash GApps as normal.
Interesting, I've been very happy on Android 10.0 but as I don't use GApps that's a significant resource reduction before any other apps are installed, of which I don't have many. Recently upgraded my Osprey to the 2GB RAM version as well, which helps.
It's great we have so many options though, all the way from 7.1 - 10! Which is what I hope this thread will show and help members with.
Is Lineage OS 17.1 official now? I can see it on the Lineage OS website.

Oh yeah it is! Thanks for reminding me, will update the list
Hey all, a chance for opinions if anyone has any before I go ahead:
In terms of Pie ROMs, LineageOS 16 (as well as the hardened micro G version) and Resurrection Remix 7 are no longer updated. The former is a few months old but the latter getting on for a year. So not terrible in terms of security updates compared to an OEM, but given that TheForce is still maintaining a crDroid Pie ROM would people be happy with me going ahead and removing LineageOS and Resurrectiong Remix from the list? Other option is to add a 'Pie' heading to the 'no longer updated' list I've added to the bottom? I want the main point to be that you can see secure and updated ROMs easily at the top but I understand people are interested in tinkering so might want them there for archival purposes.
That aside, just added FlokoRom, another one TheForce is maintaining, and MalluOS. Decent smattering of 5 up-to-date Android 10 ROMs for the Moto G3 now! Pretty amazing.

I think it would be nice to keep old roms listed, for historical reasons.
In my case, I'm still on resurrection remix 5.7.4 (MM 6.0.1) with squid kernel 23. It's running nicely, and I'm still reluctant to upgrade it because I'm afraid of losing some functionality (camera and viper4Android both are doing great in this Rom and kernel)
Thanks for maintaining this list. I'd like it to also include a list of kernels
Cheers

Hmmm I'll think about kernels, main reason I hadn't is because there aren't any still maintained, and none for ROMs post Oreo afaik. Would go against the ethos of the list and I don't want to get into just making a massive archive, when you get the same effect searching "kernel" in the dev forums. Whereas with ROMs it can be tricky for new users to differentiate which are currently maintained, getting security updates etc.

Isn't smartpack kernel currently maintained? (by someone in the Brazilian osprey group in telegram. It's currently in version 12.1 iirc and it's for Oreo, Pie and Q)
I understand that mixing kernel list here may be a little excessive, specially when most of them are abandoned.. but then it took me some time to get to smartpack kernel, because in xda it appears as abandoned, but it's currently maintained.

so I plan to Frankenstein my model up to a 16GB/2GB and get back into it.

May I ask how you're going to do that? I've been interested in doing that for a long time, I have a 16GB/1GB version and I'd love to upgrade to a 16GB/2GB SoC.

I just bought a 16GB/2GB osprey with a smashed screen (so v cheap) and swapped the motherboard. I suppose rather than upgrading it, I replaced the phone itself and performed a screen repair... depends how you want to look at it aha. It's a very easy phone to take apart though, just be careful with your plectrum when you pry the screen off because if you do it too quickly you can end up with bright spots / dead pixels where you've accidentally pulled the exterior glass away from the LCD. A soldering iron makes a good pseudo-heat-gun if you don't have one of those to melt the screen glue.

Oh I didn't think about a mobo replacement, easier than a SoC replacement I was thinking hahaha
The G3 wasn't sold by carriers where I live so it would be pretty difficult to find a 2GB/16GB model. I guess I'll try ebay or similar.
Regarding the bright spots, for some reason mine has some even though it wasn't taken apart.
I'll try doing the same as you, wish me luck finding a donor device hahaha
Thanks for the reply!

Thanks, I'm not adding Project Sakura because I won't list ROMs that get 1 release and no further development. I think I'll give crDroid a miss also as there is no thread.
I'll add MalluOS though, thanks.

Understandable , also about Project Sakura the maintainer (me) dropped it because the Gapps survival script wasn't working while dirty flashing , users would have to wipe system partition completely and then re-flash the Rom and Gapps package or the device would bootloop. To make sure nobody loses their data I chose to drop official support the last OTA wasn't pushed either. OTA updates might have worked but then i wouldn't be able to test the Rom first myself for errors (by dirty flashing).
Thank you.
Edit: I don't want you to include the link but just wanted to tell you why the development was dropped.
