Hello,
I can't find moto actions on my Moto Edge 20 with LineageOS 19.1 official, and I can't install it from the play store neither, since it claims that it is not compatible with my device.
I was used to have it under settings on other Motorola phones and previous versions of LineageOS.
Is this something expected on this build or model?
Thanks in advance.
Moto Actions needs to be ported and made compatible by the maker of the rom. LoS official doesn't ship with any OEM proprietary feature from what I can tell. Sometimes unofficial builds of LOS have proprietary features integrated, but not the official one.
Thanks, it's clear now.
However, I got the manufacturer's Moto Camera App bundled with LineageOS image (com.motorola.camera3).
Do you know if there is any way to install the manufacturer Moto Actions App available on the Play Store?
Thanks again.
It depends on the device I guess. For example, on my old OnePlus3, LoS came with the regular LoS camera (which was god awful btw) instead of the OnePlus camera. On my Sony XZ1 Compact, the maker of the unofficial port of LoS managed to integrate the Sony camera and all of its libraries so it worked just as well as on the stock rom, unfortunately they were only compatible with Android 10 but not Android 11, so for the build of LoS on Android 11, the stock camera had to be removed and it came with the crappy LoS Camera.
When it comes to these proprietary features, it all depends on the maker of the rom and the compatibility of stock libraries with LoS, just like the example above with the Camera. As for the possibility of integrating Moto into LoS, you'd have to ask the LoS devs because to control system level features like gestures and so on it requires system libraries to be ported and integrated into LoS.

To all devs out there. Is anybody able and willing to port lineage to the p10?
For what purpose? P9 is one year on the market and Lineage is in development since December - and still there is no usable version. Huawei is not helping, Nougat kernel source is still not released. With P10 will be exactly the same
better privacy protection? installed afwall+ and saw there a huge wave of outgoing data to google, somwhere to china and many other companys. xposed would also be very welcome instead of lineage and at least xprivacy
i still do not use the p10 as dayli driver untill xposed and xprivacy are ready for Nougat. my current phones run only on resurrection remix mm with xposed, xprivacy and afwall+, without gapps. it is very interesting to see where the apps are willing to connect all over the world. xprivacy allows me to restrict the contact to not really necessary services.
protecting my privacy by using android is my highest aim.

You are right, but this is not answer for my question. Why any devs should deal with this, if it is probably impossible to make it usable with all stock feature, like it happened with P9? One of the main reason of buying P9 (and now P10) is quite unique camera - and this feature is still not working and probably won't in the future...
the not working camera at lineage cross over many different devices is one of the biggest chalenges of our time in android. as you said is it google who seems to be not willing to release the nougat kernel source. as an owner of a samsung galaxy alpha, modpunk as the dev for lineage for this device seems to be one of a few devs who managed to let the camera working properly.
it seems that the camera was you personal reason to buy the p10. in my case the camera was not the reason. every top smartphone of our time has a proper working camera on stock os.
why should a dev deal with this? because it could be a very interesting chalenge?
Xposed installer from dvdandroid will install the systemless magisk xposed on the VTR-L09

Is there a way to install LinageOS on the Huawei p10

Good news for Stock Motorola devices.
The newest moto apps are available and most of them work with Lux on Nougat.

The link to the forum post is here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/themes/app-update-moto-display-contacts-icons-t3739140
My experience:
NOTE: I am on stock nougat build with custom Squid R22c kernel.
The following apps worked:
1. Contacts: I don't know why will it not!
2. FM Radio: Though I didn't see any significant changes yet.
3. Moto Display: This app is smooth! Except the landscape thing people are talking about, notification dots work. The LCD back-light fade in and out looks better with this version. No more abrupt brightness changes. The trigger is also better, even better than the original moto display back in the marshmallow days IMO. I rate it a 5/5 in my daily usage.
4. File Manager: Yes, it worked but no I didn't use it because I have solid explorer purchased.
5. Moto App launcher: The homescreen has no bugs but the google now feed doesn't work. (Just use the pixel launcher port, they're mostly similiar)
What crashed:
1. Moto App: It installed sucessfully but said device unsupported.
2. Camera: It didn't install on my device.
N.B. Strangely the moto display failed(Installed well but broke the lock button) on a Moto E4 plus on Mediatek SoC. The previous APK from the moto X4 did work well with it.
Does it have to be a stock ROM? And not maybe LineageOS?
How did you activate it?

I tested them on a stock ROM, it just replaced the stock moto apps.
As I think lineage OS doesn't natively support moto ennhancements, It may not work. But can you bring the attention of this to the developers? They might be able to port it to other Lineage Based ROMs.

tried it, didn't work. its a small feature we can live without. looking forward for a stable oreo :cyclops::fingers-crossed:
I've tried out several of the ROMs available for the Droid 4 and I was already taking notes on each of them, so thought I'd share a review on each here. I already posted my thoughts on LineageOS 14.1 in a previous thread so we'll skip straight to crDroid.
crDroid 3.8.5 is the latest addition to the D4 scene. It runs Android 7.1.2 and is based on LineageOS 14.1, apparently branched from the spyder builds. Its advantages include support for JJB's overclock kernels, in fact WiFi doesn't work without it; support for use of the altpart Safestrap to repurpose the webtop partition and give you the largest 1.3GB /system partition in your stock slot; built-in signature spoofing for MicroG/Xposed support; the most recent (Jan/2018) Android security patch level; integrated custom fonts; Ad Away browser integration; great battery life; and its own cool settings section with lots of other custom features. Like all Android V5+ versions this supports hand-wave notifications on the lock screen.
Its disadvantages are that it's fairly thick due to being on 7.1.2, and unless you're running MicroG or a very tiny Gapps package (Slim Zero or OpenG pico), it can be slow, though not nearly as bad as LineageOS 14.1 on which it's based. Videos are jerky and audio stutters. It's really intended to be used with MicroG. And despite being around only six months, it is no longer officially supported by the crDroid team, so no further updates at this time. A major factor for users of Google Voice is that it displays the routing phone number of your call rather than your actual destination phone number during the call, which can be confusing at worst and annoying at best. The call log still shows the correct destination phone number though. I'm not sure where the bug for this lives but it is specific to the ROM. Most annoyingly, the swipe-to-unlock is quirky - you have to swipe fully from bottom to top, and fairly quickly. It usually takes a couple attempts before the phone unlocks, making it difficult if not impossible to do with one hand.
Verdict: Best of the AOSP V7 ROMs for D4. But V7 isn't necessarily the best choice for D4 because of its high RAM usage. Unless there's a reason you absolutely need to run V7, i.e. for an app, you're better off with an older release that uses less RAM.
Thanks for you review. It is awesome to see that there still is active members hanging around. In my mind Lollipop was a bit laggy on Droid 4 compared to KitKat roms but Marshmallow and specially Nougat roms have improved the situation. I can consider Nougat as a daily driver for Droid 4 in 2018. I just hope that we could still see Android Oreo Go edition on our device.
well, I have done a little experiment with my Nokia, seeing that there is again between the sections of Nokia 6 and Nokia 5, I found that the Nokia 6 has already a semi stable rom of Android Oreo based on lineages os 15
and doing a bit of logic, I assumed that the rom could work on the n5, since the romes of the n6 and n5 are compatible with each other, and it really works, accepting that it has some details, one of them is that the buttons do not work. navigation, the fingerprint reader does not go either, and the audio does not go either, the latter works halfway, since adding the file mixer_paths_nd1.xml in the system / vendor / etc path manages to raise the audio service
and as usual, the camera is not as good as stock or gcam and also brings some minor bug when recording at high speed
if you want to try it here is the link, preferably try it having installed android 8.1 stock

Give the list of which is working and not working
What happened to this project?
I have a stock Moto X4 which I would like to upgrade to Android 11. It looks like there are number of different ROMs to choose from and I am just lost which one is the best and has the least amount of issues. The main reason for the Android 11 upgrade is wireless Android Auto that I need. Other than that, I just use the basic phone features plus NFC. No games, no social media, no fancy features needed.

When I owned the phone, I was running lineage OS 18.1 and had pretty good results with it, so I would recommend that.
