Its a non-treble rom , having 64bit architecture. The rom ships with Drunk Optimus kernel by default, but I have been using Ace Kernel on it, which is ready to flash on upcoming Pie Roms for Moto G5 Plus.<br /> <br /> <br /> <h2><span><br /> What's Working</span></h2>- NFC<br /> - RIL<br /> - Wifi<br /> - Bluetooth<br /> - All things that comes under "Moto Actions"<br /> - Camera (GCams and Moto Camera too)<br /> <br /> Well , I can't write everything that works, so its better to see <b>what is not working</b><br /> <br /> - VoLTE ( Ahh Deal breaker , isn't it?)<br /> - Digital Wellbeing app, its a Google Pixel exclusive feature for now which is still in beta face.<br /> <br /> The things I have tested are working, maybe I have missed something. The rom is very snappy to use, and the animations makes it even better to use it. Regarding VoLTE issue, there is a fix already available , but VoLTE can be fixed when the final builds of these Pie Roms are released because devs are still working on it to fix some things.<br /> <br /> This post was just to inform users that stable pie roms are coming , I will update this post as soon as the GZOSP is released by the developer himself, with a new post on how to download and flash it on your Moto G5 Plus. I have disabled the pie navbar gesture because I prefer to use moto actions.

Andoid P for Moto G5 Plus

Moto G5 Plus was a simple phone with no treble support, but recently it got unofficial treble implementation which made us possible to run android P on G5 plus. Its not the final P, its a developer preview 5 which was released by google only for some limited high end devices. Recently developer erphan abdi ported the developer preview from Pixel 2 and made it available to all treble enabled devices in the form of GSI image.<br /> <br /> I have tested this ROM on my Moto G5 plus , and I am one of devs (No, I am not a dev actually) from the team who helped in fixing volte and camera issues as well as testing of the kernel to fix storage issues which we were facing before releasing it to the public on XDA and Telegram.<br /> <br /> If you are totally new to custom ROMs and GSI things , then I suggest you should search on google about it and try to learn before trying these things. This article is only for those who are familiar with flashing custom roms.<br /> <br /> As of now the ROM is running fine without any major issues which stop you from using it as daily driver. So lets get started and see the procedure of how to flash and use it. <br /> <br /> <h2><span>Files to download</span></h2>1-Lineage OS treble Build by Anshuman <a href="http://goo.gl/N52zMa">Download</a><br /> <br /> 2- All files from <a href="https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=279589" target="_blank">DP5 folder</a> (Do not download P-DP5-sGSI-AB.zip)<br /> 3- <a href="https://download.martichou.me/Potter/Pie-Treble/" target="_blank">Treble Kernel with sdcard</a> fix By Martichou. <br /> 4- <a href="https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.7/Magisk-v16.7.zip" target="_blank">Magisk 16.7 Beta</a> (for root)<br /> 5- <a href="https://download.martichou.me/Potter/Android-P/" target="_blank">VoLTE ,Camera, FP and Lag Fix (One Zip)</a><br /> 6- <a href="https://download.martichou.me/Potter/Android-P/twrp-3.2.2.1-potter_treble-by-Nick.img" target="_blank">Treble TWRP</a> by Nick Van Bokhorst<br /> <br /> <h2><span>How to flash</span></h2><blockquote>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. </blockquote><b>0-</b> Backup your data :p (Just in case if something goes wrong)<br /> <b>1-</b> Wipe system/cache/dalvik cache/data<br /> <b>2</b>- Flash Lineage OS Treble Build<br /> <b>3</b>- Wipe data/dalvik cache/cache/system<br /> <b>4-</b> Flash DP5 GSI as "system image".
