Motorola Moto G6 Play (motorola-aljeter)
 |
This device is still running on armv7, although the processor supports aarch64. If you own it, change it and test it that way. |
|
There is no available motorola-aljeter device package |
|
There are G6 Play variants (-jeter, USA?) that use the MSM8920/427/Adreno308 quad-core chipset. All variants apparently have SKU XT1922-x. Check /proc/cpuinfo via adb, or fastboot getvar all. According to Wikipedia, Snapdragon 427 and 430 are pin and software compatible. |
|
Lots of community unofficial ROMs have been shown to work with MSM8953 kernels, both in Jeter and Aljeter. Can we try to use the 8953 mainline kernel fork that's available then? |

Mainline
The mainline fork for Motorola Moto G5 (motorola-cedric) should help with this. Need to investigate what other drivers are required. MSM8953 kernels also seem to work just fine with both the jeter variation and the aljeter one, so that gives us the chance to use the mainline fork for that SoC without much issues
