Cyanogen puttin me to sleep zZzZ...

yeah i love cyanogen he is one of the best developers ot here in my opionion i need some 2.0 or 2.0.1 now this 1.6 thing is old cyanogen i know you could do it ur a great developer please try making this for us alot of people on here will be appreciated !
DO THE POLL ABOVE
it saddens me to see all these devlopers working on the 2.0 update and just seeing cyanogen work on all these 1.6 updates i know hes doing it out of his kindness and he dosent have to do it but why stay on the oldies why not hop on the new topics
ALLL HAIL CYANOGEN!(in my opinion)
He's not doing 2.0 because camera drivers haven't been released yet, among other things.
I just have to say that this is sorta disrespectful to Cyanogen? He's doing this in his spare time and he's been doing a fantastic job so far as a major motivating force in the community. And you're trying to tell him what to do?
If you'd been paying attention to his twitter feed or to him in general you'd know that he's been working on an experimental version that will mostly likely be 2.0 based.
People like you give all users a bad name.
he has ported much of 2.0.1 too 1.6 . and its HTC's fault he hasn't went to the newer build. They are no longer providing us recovery images or drivers. Plus you can build cyanogens eclair but you need to from git, its not really production quality without drivers. Trust me Cyanogen mod get allot of credit due to quality,. he will start a new experimental rom when the drivers are out.
Also, Cyanogen if I remember right creates his builds from the Android Source code rather than porting roms from other phones. If that's the case, Google announced yesterday that 2.0 isn't being open sourced for a couple of days.
this is COMPLETLY DISRESPECTFUL TO CYANOGEN. ANY ANDROID ROOTER WITH A BRAIN KNOWS THAT CYANOGEN HASNT GONE FULL 2.0 BECAUSE OF THE CAMERA DRIVERS. THIS THREAD SHOULD BE CLOSED AND THE OP SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO FLASH CM ROMS anymore due to lack of respect and a ****ing brain.
If you are not happy - move on. Cyanogen's ROM is the only ROM I will put on my phone. I will not vote in your poll.

Thats totally incorrect. there is a 2.0 AOSP , cyanogen even has 2.0 code in his git repo. It is open source. At first it wasn't and you could only get it with a droid but now its open.
There are plenty of devs who only work on the latest stuff meaning their ROM's are never 100% stable. IMHO, sticking with one version and working on it, will lead to a more stable ROM's.
It is entirely up to cyanogen what ROMs he makes and which he doesn't. I don't think needs pressure on that front. This thread is already getting into disagreements, and is in the wrong forum.
Thread Closed.

Br0zip Rom Builder

Br0zip is a app that ships with the lineage builds from 3/4/2017 to 7/4/2017, and its a april fools joke to build roms directly from your device. It was a nice(surreal) troll, and i actually fell for it
Here's the release quote, posted on april fools:
We know our users; their biggest desire is to be able to get a stable custom rom on their device. Painlessly.
Lineage supports a lot of devices, but this big number is still small when compared to the amount of the devices available in the market.
One of our main goals is to bring the latest Android version to all those forgotten devices, but we also focus on user experience and security improvements.
The main problem with this cool thing is that you need a developer that builds and fixes all the bugs. It’s a pain, we’ve done it many times.
But these days are gone now. We’re deprecating maintainers. Yeah - you read it right.
We’re proud to annouce our AI-powered revolutionary product called Br0zip.
Br0zipperEngine, is a powerful AI that powers Br0Zip. Given any .zip ROM or .img kernel of any device (yeah - any device) it’ll be able to generate a properly working ROM.
It’s cool, isn’t it? But wait - there’s more: we believe customization is important, and that’s why we implemented a feature selector in the ROM builder wizard, so you can make your ROM truly yours.
Anyone, including those who have never touched a single line of code now can be a talented developer and create their own bugless custom ROM for their device in seconds.
The best thing? It runs directly on your phone - you don’t even need a supercomputer.
Br0zip trial will included for free in the LineageOS builds.
We can’t wait to see what you’ll build with it.
Keep romming,
The Lineage Ink. team

IT DOES NOT BUILD ACTUAL ROMS

Br0Zip: a new era of ROM building
In case you never actually knew, the LineageOS (ink)team released a nicely done lightweight compact rom builder named Br0zip. You can literally build roms directly from your device. No hassles at all,its really quite simple to use. Now everyone can be a talented developer!
Here's the release quote, posted on 1/4/17:
No bugs were found, even the app had material design implemented!:good:
happy late april fools XD

Mi A1 's "kernel sources realising in the coming weeks" thanks to Android Authority.

Mi A1 's "kernel sources realising in the coming weeks" thanks to Android Authority.
There's a good news for all the Mi A1 owners and devs that are craving for the kernel sources to be realised thanks to a article published by Android Authority pointing the issue out. Xiaomi say the sources will be out in the coming weeks.

I was hoping that they would be a litte more specific. "in the coming weeks" can mean anything between next week and last week of 2018.

Exactly! I have an Honor 8 Pro, the company said on 15 Jan that the update to Oreo is coming soon. Still we have no chance of getting the update this month or the next, so they are all very vague terms.
I think they have fk*ed up with Oreo and are taking time to release a better system, hope their kernel will have no issues like their devices like Mi4i.
The full credit goes to Francisco. Kernel developer. Not Android Authority

I guess its @franciscofranco whom we should be thanking. Android police and android authority cared to cover only because franco raised the issue.
Good news right here but android authority simply made an article about it. Franciscofranco is the real hero
There are almost 45.1429 weeks left in 2018. I wonder in what week we will get the sources

Hahaha. "WEEKS" i still doubt it ?
Good news. Can't wait to see what the talented devs will create for this device, knowing that they will also have an Android P build as well. Should help the device last some while.
Thanks to Francisco Franco for calling them out, and for AA repeating the callout and crediting Francisco for it. All help is appreciated.
"in the coming weeks" doesnt mean sh*t...could still be 1+ months

"forced them" sorry but that is just not acurate. AA is a comunity website, and has no influence over Xiaomis decisions!
Well, at least we know sources will be released in 2018

Exactly its @franciscofranco who helped us. And it was @UltimateBlade who started mass tweet but franciscofranco who boosted it.
I am redactor myself and I made a huge huge article about Xiaomi on one of polish news and tech sites. So I added a brick to forcing them to release sources too
Coming weeks, no fixed date. Xiaomi **** you.
They have released kernel sources with android nougat.

New ROM for Pixel 3 series? [Looking for Alpha Testers]

Hello everyone,
Over the past few years the custom ROM scene has been dwindling. The Nexus and Pixel devices are suppose to be the crown jewl of development but that has began to fade. I was thinking of committing to a new ROM for Pixel devices (and possibly Essential devices down the road) since these are the easiest to maintain. The ROM wouldn't be packed with the most features, but take an approach similar to Oxygen OS: only add meaningful features and maintain the AOSP look and feel. I would also make it a point to keep the ROM up to date with the latest security patches and bug fixes from Google (security and stability would be priority). I have quite a bit of development experience from the past and was wondering how much support and "want" there is for a project like this? Anyone who would be interested in a ROM like this just like this thread and comment any feedback/suggestions/questions. If there is enough support for this project I will commit to it but I want to gauge public response first.
Cheers,
Shawn
Edit: It's worth noting the project would be open source.
Edit 2: If you would like to be an Alpha Tester for this project visit the following post: Link

Yes I've been saying this and it kinda sucks cuz I love flashing different roms , mods etc lol so a new rom for Pixel 3xl (my device) with features from various roms and being stable would be cool. Any requests feature wise I won't mind letting you know. Hope you do decide to make one soon. Thanks and good luck!
All roms welcomed!
Hell yea! So lacking right now in terms of ROMs for these devices.

I would love another custom ROM that has support for 3minite battery given that I haven't been able to get it working on any custom ROM.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL
I'd go for it. I would like to see something for oreo
It would be fantastic to have some more options. I came from Pixel 2XL to Pixel 3XL and the ROM flashing choices dropped, DRAMATICALLY. Luckily I've been getting my fill by testing for the AquariOS team, so that fulfills my need to flash regularly but it'd be great to see some more action in the forum. I'm sure there will be plenty of support for your decision, if you decide to move forward with it.
I'd love to see a really minimal and stable AOSP with a really active mod/flash community for those that like to add sprinkles.
Mos Def Interested!!!
It would be something I would be interested in for sure.
:good:
Of course. Variety is the spice of life.
Maybe you can figure out why Sprint devices can't send MMS.
I would like to see LOS. I used Cyanogen for years.
I really wish this could happen and be made possible.

The biggest reason for lack of development is the cost of the device, I gave almost $1200 for mine, after the "insurance".
Going back to Nexus days, the things were less than half that price, hopefully the A series will bring some life back....

Just FYI, making people have a Slack account to participate is a no no, nothing else wrong with your application though
I have Slack, but it's only for work..I would rather not provide that. Any other way? Perhaps Telegram instead? Or give us an organization to use outside of our likely employers?

I have removed the Slack option from the form so you can fill it out now without any issue. For now we can just XDA Private Messages and go from there towards an alternative in the future.
Are you still working on it?

Due to a positive response, I wanted to inquire how many people would be interested in this type of project for the Pixel 3. Additionally, if anyone is interested in Alpha Testing the ROM, please visit Link. If anyone has any questions or feedback regarding this project, feel free to post a comment here.

I can give it a try in a few days. Two more days until summer holiday for me, kind of need the phone in the mean time.
I would test for you, providing easy update instructions were possible
