AICP
Android Ice Cold Project
AICP is known by everyone as the "Ice Cold Project" that started on a Desire HD years ago (2012) and since then has evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community that you can find!!!
Until Android Lollipop, the ROM has always been based on AOKP. Unfortunately, since AOKP stopped development (but made a comeback later), we changed our base to CM.
With the re-brand of CM to LineageOS (LOS) we became LineageOS based with some tweaks from AOSP and we are now based on the "Ground Zero Open Source Project" (GZOSP) for Android Pie.
If there are any bugs, either we will sort them out or the GZOSP team, if it concerns their code base. This ROM isn't GZOSP supported, so there is no need to report errors/bugs to them!!
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. Hard & a lot.

(link the best one for your device, there are several variants out there right now, nano/micro GApps from opengapps.org is almost always a good choice though)
You tell...
FAQ:
Before using the ROM:
Q. Can I have an ETA for the next build?
A. Yes, just look here to see what day your device is built on.
Q. Does this ROM support custom kernels officially?
A. No. You can still use them, but discussion should go in the thread of the respective kernel. We don't offer support for bugs you might encounter while using them!
Q. Why doesn't this ROM support Xposed?
A. Xposed is a hack that is geared towards AOSP. Custom ROMs modify the framework a lot, so Xposed can cause a ton of issues on custom ROMs. Now it might work for you, however it is not to be discussed in this thread, and you should refrain from posting bug reports.
Q. Alright, but I still want to flash Xposed, so which version do I need to install?
A. Xposed is not yet released for Pie, however you can try to use edxposed .
Flashing the ROM:
Q. What do I need to know before flashing?
A. Check the flashing instructions...
Q. Can the builds be dirty flashed over each other?
A. Yes, however make a nandroid backup first as there is a chance of getting a bootloop or encountering bugs. Also bugs may only be reported on a clean flash.
Q. How do I 'dirty flash' builds?
A. Wipe the System, Cache and ART/Dalvik cache. Flash the ROM, GApps (only needed if you wipe the system), your preferred root solution and reboot. Or just use the OTA app to preform that task for you.
Q. How do I flash kernel builds?
A1. If it's a .img file, boot into TWRP and go to the install page in TWRP, in the bottom right corner select "install image", select the desired kernel, then select "boot" as the destination, then swipe to flash, then go back to the install screen and install your root method again, if you don't want to loose root and reboot.
A2. If it's a flashable ZIP, you can flash it together with a ROM update or separately. Go to the install page in TWRP, choose the kernel zip (or add it to the flash queue right after the ROM zip). Then add your root method to the queue if you don't want to loose root. Now swipe to flash and reboot afterwards.
Using the ROM:
Q. I installed a bad theme and now I'm getting a bootloop, how do I fix it?
A. In TWRP, flash the substratum rescue zip that's in the substratum folder on the internal storage.
Q. I'm having issues with WhatsApp, how do I fix it?
A. Read this
Q. Do I need to provide a logcat if I'm reporting a bug?
A. If you want it to be fixed faster (or at all) then yes, you should definitely provide a logcat. (Note: Please just link the logcat from your GDrive, Dropbox, etc. and do not post the content here. Thanks.)
Q. How do I get a logcat, what type should I get and more questions that can conveniently be answered by my pre-determined answer?
A1. Read this thoroughly. Also, here's a good app for getting logs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog (Root needed).
A2. If you are already rooted, you can use the built-in feature to make a logcat and provide that. Just look into the others section in the AICP Extras main page.
The ROM should contain everything you need to enjoy Android Pie. You don't need to install any Add-ons, simply download the latest ROM and GApps, then follow the flashing instructions and go!
If you want the device to run the ROM "rooted", you can flash a root solution of your choice after the ROM Zipfile.
It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing and please avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup (or with any backup/restore app) as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug, restoring regular apps is fine though.
If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.
How to flash for the first time:
(Again: Don't do it if you don't know!)
1. Download the ROM and GApps and transfer them to your device.
2. Boot to recovery (TWRP recommended).
3. Wipe the System, Cache, and Data (you might need to format the data partition!).
4. Flash the ROM Zipfile.
5. Flash the GApps (optional, needed for e.g. Google Playstore to work).
6. Reboot and set up your device, enable developer settings and in them OEM unlock/Advanced reboot/USB tethering.
7. Reboot back into TWRP recovery.
8. Flash the root solution of your choice (optional).
9. Reboot your device.
The procedure may vary from device to device and is a bit different on system updates!
The ROM has GApps persistence in between dirty flashes, so you only have to flash them once! This might differ on AvB Devices.
Currently supported Root Solution:
Magisk stable
Magisk versions >= 17.2 don't usually need to be flashed on every dirty flash.
Depending on the device, you may need to flash it every time, unless your maintainer says otherwise, you should be fine.
PREREQUISITE FOR OTA ("Over-The-Air" Updates):
TWRP recovery is needed to be able to flash using the built-in OTA app.
Please make sure that you are on the latest TWRP recovery, keep in mind that this could also be an unofficial version!
On encrypted devices you will have to enter your PIN/password in TWRP before the process starts.

I've been using this ROM and it's awesome! The only thing is that maybe the mic volume is too low? Is there any way to increase it?
Edit: Nevermind, I solved it by changing the Microphone Gain in kernel (Radium Kernel 4).. Thanks anyway!

After waiting from my Motorola warranty to expire I rooted my G5S last month and installed this ROM. It has breathed new life into my phone. I replaced the Motorola warning with a Motorola G5S boot logo and installed Gapps 'pico'. Everything is working smoothly and my battery life is much better. Thank you.

It's an excellent rom.
I flash this rom this morning for my moto g5s xt1799-2.
aicp_montana_r-16.1-WEEKLY-20210927.zip
montana-motog5s - Browse /AICP/AICP-16.1 at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
Android 11.
64bit.
VoLTE works well for my xt1799-2. China telecom. (Baseband is 75R (moto stock 8.1.0 firmware baseband).)
Lots of customization settings.
Screen recording works well when 'Record audio' turns on. (Pixel experience plus 11.0-20210723-1710 and Arrow-v10.0-montana-UNOFFICIAL-20201112-VANILLA will crash when the screen recorder turns on the 'Record audio' function.)
ZRAM 1365MB.(Can turn off by using 'Scene4' app, root needed.)
Magisk 23.0 installs and boot successfully. (Pixel experience plus 11.0-20210723-1710 will fail to boot the system after patching and flash the boot.img file.)
Call recorder works fine. Voice recorded from it is very clear. (Pixel experience plus 11.0-20210723-1710 doesn't have call recorder. The call recorder of Arrow-v10.0-20201112 sometimes can't recorder the incoming voice. The sound recorded from the call recorder of LineageOS-18.1-20230401 is very noisy. Unable to hear the talks clearly.)
Even smoother than the lineageos 18.1 (android 11).
Fringerprint works fine.
Battery is also terrible, it drains very fast even I don't use it, just as bad as the lineageos 18.1 (android 11). I think that is because of the increasing of ZRAM (1365MB) and the cpu frequency!
Compare to moto stock oreo 8.1.0 with the same settings:
After 8 days, it (moto stock oreo 8.1.0 rom) still has 20% battery. Battery won't drain if I don't use it.
But in AICP 16.1 (android 11) and lineageos 18.1 (android 11), battery is just too bad!

Do you still have this android 9 rom copy? Can you give me a link? I want to flash it. But I don't know where to find the rom to download. They just removed that from the server.

I am sorry. I no longer have a G5S. I have checked my hard drive and backup drive but seem to have deleted both the AICP and Lineage-18.1 ROM.

I have lineageos 18.1 rom, but its battery is too bad. AICP has less bugs. But I only find 16.1 rom. Battery is as bad as lineageos 18.1. I want to find the android 8.1 or 9 rom of AICP.

I can have a search and will let you know if I find anything.

Just confirm then that you are looking for AICP 13.1 (Oreo) or AICP 14 (Pie) for the G5S?

Yes, android 8.1.0 or 9 would be perfect.
Android 10 is I'm not so sure. I flashed lineageos 17.1 build 20201115 last night. After 9 hours not been used, battery drains 11% (including 2% system use). It drains 7% from 9:30 to 13:00!!! I'm doing nothing to the device during that time! That build lineageos team increases ZRAM from stock 511M to 1.33G.
But not android 11 (battery in 11 is too bad.)
Lineageos 18.1 (android 11):
AICP 16.1 (android 11):
ZRAM is also 1.33G (Since it use lineageos 18.1 to build it.)
I flashed near 10 different lineageos versions last night. I'm very disappointed to know what is lineageos team going on!
The 'unable to copy any file from device to PC' bug lasts that long time without being fixed until late android 10 version, lineageos 17.1 build 20201115, which is the second from last version of lineageos 17.1!!!!!!
Dating from the first lineageos 15.1 (android 8.1.0) , through lineageos 16.0 (android 9), only in the second from last version of lineageos 17.1 (build 20201115), the bug was fixed!!!! What the h-e-l-l! Since the other third party roms also use lineageos to build their roms, they take the same bugs to their roms! Such as, crDroid, Pixel Experience Rom, AICP OS,......, all have this annoying bug!
What's worse, they deleted some useful fingerprint gestures in lineageos 17.1, such as 'screen-off: long hold fingerprint to turn on display' and 'screen-on: long hold fingerprint to turn off display'. These two gestures I've been using since lineageos 15.1 (android 8.1.0)!!! I stay in lineageos because of them! That's why I want to find the old verion of AICP roms!
Last but not least, they did something that should not be done! They increased ZRAM to 1.33G (in lineage-17.1-20201115) which makes the battery very terrible while the front camera can only be used in that version for my xt1799-2...Da*n!
