Bringing the Android kernel back to the mainline

Re:Bringing the Android kernel back to the mainline by kingosticks on Wednesday November 21, 2018 @06:16AM (#18501801)

Just the other day I installed the latest lineageos on my original moto G, I think thats from 2013. And it works great.

Edit: actually, when I say 'latest' I mean 'latest available for the moto g'. I'm not 100% sure that's the very latest version that exists.

It's not. You're stuck with an Android that's 2 versions behind current and are still using the original kernel version that shipped with the device.

I guess that explains why it works so well.
