Motorola Moto series with Motorola Moto msm8916 chipset Motorola Moto E 2015 LTE (surnia) / Motorola Moto G 2015 (osprey) / Motorola Moto G3 Turbo (merlin) / Motorola Moto X Play (lux) and Motorola Moto G4 Play (harpia) for /e/OS-S 2.9
(Explanation: I was flagging a bunch of spam posts, and as I was about to click one to open it, this thread popped to the top of the list, causing me to open it instead.)
I tried the Osprey Rom. It boots into a black screen after the eOS logo. I installed using TWRP because the Lineage recovery image was not able to get into sideload mode. I tried both my Linux system and my Win 11 system.
The LOS link on the XDA forum actually works. I have also found an unofficial crdroid 8.2 by Chil360, which works out of the box https://chil360.github.io/. The only issue I have been having is MicroG implementation.
I used an external link (zoho, which is my email provider) because I don’t kno how to share logs on here. I can also provide you with a backup of my stock rom if that helps. Hoping to see it fixed and dandy with the latest MicroG.
Ps. do me a favor when rebuild this ROM: please eliminate the fluff or make them deletable. I don’t need the browser, maps, mail, camera, drive and a thousand customization. We need robust wifi, Volte, Bluetooth, MicroG and other basic hardware functions. If they work, we have won already.
Please work on the S builds. I have an old Moto G3 that I want to continue using. Several android 12 builds have worked so far, but none of them supported signature spoofing, so I was not able to use modern apps.
I don’t have an XDA account, nor am I involved in development work. I am into the business side of things. The friend I mentioned is helping me explore possibilities of starting an organization like E and Iode, just with a different aim.
Hi, I just tried with Surnia.
Recovery working, but system booting past logo and going black. Sometimes displays on left bottom corner an arrow back, and on the bottom white swipe line. Most of the time just staying black. When you press power, you hear lock screen sound.
you can reboot to recovery and do factory data/factory reset than reboot to system, to get this ghost black screen with arrow on bottom, but generally its black screen after boot.
