I was planing to buy the Oneplus 6. So when I searched the Web for a Official Lineage OS ROM I found the Article I linked below telling me that there maybe never be a Official Lineage OS ROM for this phone. This being the only bit of information I was able to find about A/B seamless updates and the implications this means for OFFICIAL Custom ROMS this leads me to two questions.
The device specific Question. Will there ever be a Official Lineage OS ROM for the Oneplus 6?
The broader non device specific Question is about A/B seamless updates and the future that means for OFFICIAL Lineage OS ROMS.
No device with A/B has ever received a Official Lineage OS ROM (even the Pixel 2 which supports Treble).
Does A/B makes it impossible that this apparently unstoppable course can change in the future?

just a matter of time and about how many devices will need a treble compatible and A/B compatible version. the more of those pop up on the market the sooner they'd have to either cease development or adopt the new infrastructure which is already happening at this very moment.

Every ROM is available for OnePlus 3/3T , 5/5T but none of the roms are available for OnePlus 6, even the new roms which arrive are available to only them but not for OnePlus 6, is it due to the A/B partition?

I don't fully understand the situation but it is weird that devs got devices to work on yet all we have are Oreo-based custom roms ( which make no sense to be used since OOS provides pretty much same stuff along with proprietary and better OOS features, I won't even mention the already fully functional Pie GSIs ), mods for stock roms and an overwhelming number of custom kernels only for stock Oreo and custom Oreo roms( instead of having one or two, a ton of people don't know which one to choose and it stings that the custom kernels can't be used on Pie GSIs ).
I doubt they are waiting for the Pie kernel source/vendor stuff as we won't see those for a while even after we get official global OOS Pie.
In the end, I'm perfectly happy with the HydrogenOS Pie Beta 3 and Pie GSIs which offer pretty much the same performance even without custom kernels.
I think devs are busy working on lineage os 16 sources. Just take a look at lineage os gerrit

I don't understand what you're trying to get at. There is only one commit on the los gerrit related to the oneplus 6 and that's an irrelevant one.
If you meant to say something like " the oneplus 6 devs are busy working on the general los 16 source", it's not true. Devs who usually work on general, not device-specific LOS are working on LOS 16 but that's all. We had one main dev working on LOS for the OP6 and they are either too busy with their lives or just don't want to do LOS16 at the moment.
There are even LOS 16 GSIs in the Treble forums, and other roms also have their GSIs, which means that the source is functional and can be used.
Could you suggest any pie gsi's available right now for OnePlus 6?

Pixel Experience is the best for me, but I'd recommend the HydrogenOS Beta 3 more. The Chinese bloat can be uninstalled easily since it's only in the data and you remain with pretty much clean Pie with extra goodies which can't be had on any other rom.
The only rom which might be able to compete with HOS is Havoc but that GSI won't boot on the OP6 no matter what.
Hi, since Xiaomi decided to depreciate rom support for our mi4c, everyday i try to find a replacement firmware. But here is what i found: official lineage removed mi4c since april, last rom is 0209 because they no longer support 14.1 version. AICP lastest version is 2702, no longer update. There're many unofficial roms on 4pda, but all of them now have their support ended because the devs move to new devices. There's only Mokee that support nightly 9.0 and release 8.1 version everyday and monthly. I try to find something like "mi4c treble" but no hope, the repository is created but empty, not like mi4 that has unofficial treble support. Maybe i need to buy a new phone? But my phone is still in good condition with no problem so far... :crying::crying::crying:
Yeah, sad but true. I also gave up on new rom, so i still use the 15.1 LineageOS one (20180810). Good rom, no problems here, but wouldnt mind some security updates.
The phone works nicely though and apart from battery lasting a day, i dont see any problems. I guess we will have to move to new phone if we want to see some updates rom.
I resized device partition table in order to support android treble.
I will make custom recovery image which is support android treble.
Maybe our device is ready to support android treble by then
added
I made treble-enabled recovery image now and it works well.
I will release the solution soon.

Is that the one without vibration support?
https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/wiki/en/wikis/device/libra/install
it's a fork of LineageOS, still being updated
haven't tested it yet
This is update of lineage-16.0.

/e/ is a fork of lineage and based on lineage 14.1 for our phone, with microg pre installed. They use a different default launcher, bliss
It works well and is easy to tweak if we dont like the launcher or default apps.
Anyway since our phone is no longer maintained i've decided to build lineage 14.1 for myself.
I'll do it once or twice a month when there are updates.
If anyone need it check here :

Mokee have a good android 9 ROM, been using it for months and no issues:
https://download.mokeedev.com/libra.html
Also WJXXBSH recently published new Lineage 16 and even 17! https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299149
I have not tried it yet, but at least WJXXBSH is keeping our device live.
how about lineage 16 from havoic 3.1 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/libra/)
At least it work fine for me on mi4c
I have been trying to install the official android 10 gsi on my mix 2s: https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/
Flashed the rom but the phone just bootlooped, after going through the initial instructions more carefully, turns out this phone is not fully VNDK (Vendor Native Development Kit) compliant.
My question is, what does this mean for the phone? Can't say I understand it well, but would Xiaomi have to make an updated Android 10 vendor partition? Are there some devs who can make it VNDK compliant, and its only a matter of time? Is this VNDK built into any custom Android 10 rom that will be made for this device in the future?
That would be interesting if it actually booted.
Not sure that this VNDK compliant is which you are refering

I attached a screenshot of the section I'm talking about, the output for the Mix 2S for "namespace.default.isolated" is "false."
Also I found that Xiaomi plans to update this device to MIUI 11 (Android 10) sometime between now and the end of the year, so that should update the vendor software and make this GSI able to boot. :fingers-crossed:
Do not try to install for now. I've already installed and for some reason I don't know, my phone always crashed so I have to reboot it.....:crying:

Our devices didn't ship with android 9.0 so I doubt they would be "VNDK", unless xiaomi choose to do this(doubt it tbh, wish but doubt) in our phones. We have no luck unless they(xiaomi) provides an update for android 10

I'd prefer if we were independent from xiaomi. I mean if xiaomi stop providing new versions I'd prefer if devs don't need weird workarounds

Yeah that was half my reason for buying a new phone. I thought treble would be the solution to indefinite independent updates, but I guess not quite :crying:

Well only if google forces companies to fully comply with treble we might get lucky. It would be nice to not depend entirely on Xiaomi
Does anyone have any idea regarding the development of custom roms based on android 11?
Android 11 isn't even released yet for OP (7), maybe wait a few months before it's actually out and devs had a chance to work with it?
For the Oneplus 5 and Oneplus 6 there are already a few custom ROMS with Android 11 out now.
I guess for our Oneplus 7 some od the devs are already working on custom ROMs for this phone.
I have in mind that I read somewhere that the devs of the Carbon ROM are already working on an Android 11 Version but there is no ETA when it is available as of now.
Otherwise here is a list of Android 11 custom ROMs for other phones but OK that is a bit OT here.
Is there any issues with the 7 series or something?cos the others have received some custom rom or the other...just curious

It's not the most attractive device, so it depends on how much effort and devs are working for it.
So... patience
Or.... Maybe you want to become a developer and kickstart Android 11 development on OP7?

Yea its true that op7 is not that attractive but even the 7pro not getting 11 was a bit surprising
Well I would love to try but I don't have the resources, I tired once in vain:silly:

Yes android 11 custom ROMs ARE available already for our OnePlus 7 (guacamoleb). You can join the OnePlus 7 dev telegram group. There's already YAAP and Revenge OS build (latest being YAAP), with almost everything working fine.

Can't share telegram links on XDA. But you can search op7development on telegram. Or else PM me on my telegram (linked in my profile).
This is my first Xiaomi and i come from a long history with Sony devices
Download Custom Roms For Xiaomi 12 [Android 12] | The Android Space
How to Install Custom ROM on Xiaomi 12 Stock Rom, Firmware, Android 12, XDA Developer, TWRP Recovery, Custom OS, Bootloader Unlock.
theandroidspace.com
Does anyone did this? Is this legitimate?
Unlock process is clear
TWRP is something i need and did not found much on XDA
Custom ROM like LOS, nothing (except some GSI that have many issues)
Since development for this device is basically none/inexistent here on XDA for this device i`m very suspicious about that site....
Maybe a particular variant, not all the Xiaomi12s are breakable. Reach out to the OP on that site and maybe can elaborate an answer.
Did a little digging on that site and it is not legit. It has correct instructions but files for Xiaomi 12 does not exist.
There is no TWRP for Xiaomi 12
The ROM is just a generic AOSP
It is just a scheme to get more site traffic !!!!
