How to make Nexus 5 Android 6.0.1 binaries works with Nougat - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I am starting to learn how to cook Rom. Specially that could run on my Nexus 5.
As far as I know, I need the binaries. However that latest ones that Google support are for for Android 6.0.1 (M4B30Z). How can I make them suitable to Nougat or even Oreo?

Android Nougat or Oreo?

I'm trying to figure out if upgrading to Android Oreo would be a good idea.
I'm running Nougat 7.1.2 with CarbonROM iny Sony Xperia Z5, an well, it's official that my device won't upgrade to Android 8.0, but that's not the point.
I'm using Xposed modules, Root (idk if it's possible to root android 8 yet) and all the advantages that it gives in terms of modules, customization, performance etc.
So, should I wait until Xposed is available on Android 8.0 or is ot worth it to upgrade as soon as possible (with a custom rom)?
What do you guys think about it? Would it be stable enough?

android 6.0.1 drivers on 8.0 aosp build Nexus 5

I am new in android rom development, but I am very experienced in object-oriented languages, especially Java, so I thought I can check it out. I have a Nexus 5. I have followed AOSP guide (I've synchronised whole android repo). I want to build Android 8.1.0 for my Nexus 5, but I need drivers, right? On google driver binaries there ARE Nexus 5 drivers, but only for android 6.0.1 and below.
My question is: Can I use these drivers (for 6.0.1) with android 8.1.0? If not, How much changes will i need to make?
If you know any good tutorial for porting device drivers, please include the link.
Thanks for every answer, tip or advice.
EDIT: Oreo is on project treble, right? So if I contact the guy who made 8.0.0 rom for Nexus 5 and get the drivers from him, can I use them with 8.1.0?

Installing S8/S9 ported UI's and Apps on 7.1.1 rom

I"m wondering if I can install one of the current S8 or S9 UI/apps ports onto the 7.1.1 (RH1) for TMobile's Note 5. I believe I can, but there are so many app ports out there now, ranging from 6.0 to 8.0 Oreo. Has anyone had a successful port on the 7.11? And is anyone going to Debloat or customize the RH1 since it's available? It seems XDA has given up on the N920T.

Updating old S7 To latest stable version

Hi
I Received some old S7-930F Device.
Currently it is Rooted with custom SuperMan ROM, Running over Android 8.0.0.
Basically, I want to make sure phone is up-to-date as "much as possible" in terms of:
1. Is there any android update newer than Android 8, which is stable, for Galaxy S7?
I know there's beta by lineage based on Android 10, but looking for only stable version.
If there is - Can someone please share some guide / thread with updating instructions?
2. Is there any update to baseband version?
Currently the phone runs with G930FXXU2ERG2
If there is - where can I get it, and how to install it?
Much appreciated
Thanks

Last version of S7 firmware is FXXS6ESGD, get it of sam mobile or Samfirm tool. There's some good roms based on that, de bloated that run really well.

Will anyone have Android Pie ROM for my device?

Hi, I have a LG X Power device model K220, its Stock ROM is Android 6.0.1 and since some important Apps for me no longer work for that version, I have been looking everywhere for modified ROMS from at least Android 8 or 9 onwards, but I do not get anything, I already checked the compatible devices for Lineage, Resurrection RMX, among others and nothing, if anyone has the knowledge of any modified ROM for LG K220 that is Android 8 or 9 onwards it would be of great help to me
