Hello all
Apologies if this question seems stupidly obvious but I want to make sure before I commit to this phone... I bought an S7 for T-Mobile and I think it's not supported by LineageOS just yet because it has a locked bootloader
I can see builds are being made for the herolte (S7), but I don't think the T-Mobile model falls into the unified builds as it runs a Snapdragon 820, rather than the Exynos 8890
So currently, the T-Mobile S7 IS NOT supported by LineageOS?
I thought LineageOS was for all devices
I thought it was build to run on any devices.

Well the lineageos website only lists the herolte in certain places but doesn't specify models. Based on info from xda I found out the above, but posts are old. So that's why I'm asking
Unfortunately there's not much for our device t mobile s7 i just got one a few months ago and Yea there isn't one single non tw rom for it.. I'm a little disappointed there isn't more roms for our device..

I don't know if it's too early to ask this but stock marshmallow firmware for SM-J710FN is already there on sammobile. Is this what developers call sourcecodes, required for development purposes(kernels,etc) or do we still need to wait for some other source codes yet to be released by Samsung for SM-J710FN??

We may expect development because Samsung did released the source code. However, I think there aren't much developers who are using this device, as most developers prefers cheaper for better devices than this.
There is not much need as well. Our device is optimized pretty well and has best battery backup which one would need. We may even get the official Android Nougat.

If an exynos developer got it , it may get cm but cm on exynos is always buggy
what is the difference between SM-J710F and SM-J710FN? Are the roms compatible with each other?
I'm sure its a stupid question; I have just registered after lurking for a while.

I think same, my phone model is SM-J710F and it shows SM-J710FN in about section.
Hi everyone. I was wondering, now that Nougat is rolling out to the Moto G4's, would there be a possibility of a stock version being ported to the G3's. I have no idea of whats involved, and I'm only asking the question in case some of the developers might think it would an interesting project. If it cant happen due to hardware differences, sorry for asking
Pretty sure this question was asked a week or so ago, but I am too lazy to find the thread and link it... And no, it is isn't possible yet. The G4 that is getting the update is too different hardware-wise from the our device to be of use and it will take a few months before the kernel source is released. Still, the differences are big with the G4 being 64-bit and our device being 32-bit, that a port is not likely.

I have a query. It's off topic, based on Lineage OS. But when you are saying about porting ROMs, well... the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus also have different hardware. How can the same LineageOS distribution?

True, but we have the source code for LineageOS, we don't for Moto stock and never will except the kernel.
When we build any custom ROM we need the device tree and the source code... Porting binaries is different and they need to have roughly the same architect at least.

That's not true. Both Moto G3 and G4/G4 Plus have Cortex A53 cores (64 bits) but both phones run 32-bit Android. But I agree with you, porting stock ROM (N or MM) is nearly impossible.
Maybe if Nougat arrives to Moto G4 Play (which has the same SD410 SoC as our Moto G3), we can port it but I'm not sure.
Hey guys, I am planning on getting the S8+ and Ive been looking around Xda for Roms for it but there are not a lot of them(stable neither) so my question is why are there not so many Roms and how is the future looking? I always root my phones and like to experiment, so should I buy it?
Thanks in advance, Ray
Which s8+ do you have?

I live in Germany so which ever one is sold here (european)
If you like testing ROMs go with OnePlus 5T, i'm also thinking about switching.
OnePlus 5T is a good choice if you want to use developer apps and sideload mods, tweaks, roms.. etc.
I think if you go with a Exynos processor S8(international variant) you should be ok, as is it has been rooted fully already.
Check this post out for a list of different S8+ variants.

The Snapdragon processor hasn't been fully rooted like the Exynos version. So make sure you get the right model for your location.

So if I get the Exynos version I can install custom roms like stock etc? Although I'm not seeig a lot of them in tjia forum to download and install...
Thanks again to everyone

Not that it matters in this case but your statement is not accurate. We do have root and it's stable. What we don't have is an unlocked bootloader which the Exynos version DOES have.

Quite so. If you didn't already do it you could head over to Cross Dev or the S8+ ROM forums and see what's available there.
Presently the vast majority are modded Touchwiz-based ROMs, which are quite excellent and offer great customization/battery life etc. If you are specifically keen on LOS-based (or other non-Touchwiz) ROMs there are very few under development, but it seems like quite a way to go yet.

Yes, that is correct!
Is there any custom kernel that can allow overclocking on the J330FN Oreo?

Nope. It is highly unlikely that a custom kernel or even rom to be made for this device as no one is developing anything on it. The device has reached end of life considering it is a budget device after all.

No problem and i am aware since she helped make sampwned32 for the sm-j327t and sm-j327t1 I found the root method that was used on the s8 variant with a locked bootloader and brought it up and even tested the root method on the device and it worked. But a month later samsung released a new update that patched it. If it wasn't for ashyx converting the files from ARM64 to ARM this method would have never worked. Also after samsung patched the root method they only released one more security update and ended up cancelling the android oreo update for metropcs and tmobile after we was told our device would get it. Oh boy i was pretty pissed. Like come on samsung you could atleast unlock the device's bootloader and allow us to make our own custom roms which would be alot better and would be oreo based. It is sad how samsung forgot about us and didn't even bother to release a new phone to the metropcs and tmobile market in the budget area. The mid range J7 Prime got more love than this device did fr.

Yes it certainly did
Is there any chance for this phone to get an official custom version of android?
Like PixelExperience, Paranoid or Lineage OS
Since the phone is alrd more than 1 year old, and i would like to keep it for a long time
Look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...eageos-17-1-beta0-s10e-update-t4076585/page92
There are more custom roms in the same thread.

Im very interested in official ROMs, due of the support and updates
And the Snapdragon version

SD bootloader cannot be unlocked, so no custom roms have been developed for the s10e with SD as far as I know.
