Hi mate
I do not want to discourage you or anything but one thing I have learnt from such campaigns is that it doesn't work. I have done it for more than 5 devices and not only one got the update. I'll suggest you unlock your bootloader and flash a custom ROM and at the same time, just keep your campaign alive but do not get yourself into it that it'll work because from my experience it doesn't but I hope I'm wrong in this case
I'll sign the campaign for you anyway and good luck !

Just forget about Lenovo and install Lineage 15.1.
i have just signed it
signed!!
See it's always a standard. Medium Phone manufacturers give security updates upto 2-3 years and android version updates for 2 years. Lenovo would probably focus on their flagship devices like z5 pro n all . It's commendable for the petition but it's a waste. My advice is flash a stable ROM. sure you gonna loose the left power key function but it's worth it. Atleast i am getting proper software updates with all up to date securtiy patches.
In the end, it's yout wish. Do what's best for you !
It's just not gonna happen. I have a Lenovo Tab2 that they gave up on a long time ago too.
Just forget Lenovo, unlock your bootloader and install LineageOS. Still passes Safetynet even with Magisk root.

Sadly I have to agree,Lenovo only give a year of updates and do not seem bothered about existing devices.
Glad we have some Devs who keep this awesome phone current
That is why I am not going to buy another Lenovo.

You're a power user. Can the Honor 9 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Honor 9. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
honor8 has healthy development, wish the same goes with honor9
Early days remember it's only few weeks old development will grow over time if you want instant custom ROMs buy a nexus

Just wait for honor to publish source code, then development will start the right way
After source released, then OpenKirin team can work on it.

Huawei should release source of EMUI 8 asap so we can receive O ROMs early.
It will be really good..will boost up

Only with 3rd party, paid service: dcc unlocker. Search for guides in xda.
If you're looking for a development-friendly phone, Honor is not the solution for you. We do have a program where we give out bootloader unlock codes to a select number of people every once in a while, but there is no official support for unlocking your bootloader. This results is a very small development community.
I think everyone can agree that huawei shenanigans has ruined the development for this phone, like locked bootloader, them changing the xloader stuff so it bricks your phone when you downgrade... I just hope for the best on honor 9 development community and other development for new huawei devices, and maybe someday we'll find an exploit to these devices or the 0.00001% chance that we get a mercy from huawei and they finally give us an update on the firmware where they finally remove the bootloader lock. I'll be waiting until that day.

I currently build 64bit LineageOS for the LG K20 Plus which is extremely similar to the LG K30 Plus. I would like to start supporting the LG K30 but I don't have the device or know anyone with it to pull stock configs from. If you have an LG K30 and want to see custom ROMs brought to it, please send me a message or respond to this thread and I'll do what I can to get you hooked up with LineageOS.
I have an LG K30. I actually recently contacted the admins about adding the forum section for it. I'd be willing to do whatever you need.

It will need 3 pages worth of threads before it gets its own forum. We don't even have one for the K20 Plus yet and I've been developing for it for months. Anyways if you could look up my K20 plus lineage thread and message me on Telegram. I'll be happy to get some device specific info from you so I can build twrp without risking breaking your phone. Thank you in advance. I want to help your device get a swift start on custom software
I will contribute whatever I can to help you with a custom recovery for the k30. Any filesystem dumps or any other info you may need. I acquired this phone yesterday and would like to see some devs become interested in this model.

Is there anything that I can do to help?
I too am willing to help out anyway that I can. I also have Telegram if anybody is interested in working further there as well.
Once/if a bootloader unlock method is established for this device, I have TWRP built for the K30. So once somebody manages to bootloader unlock this device, PM me on here or on Telegram and I'll send you the recovery.IMG and the install instructions I know of. However I'm not sure how this will be possible with a non-removable battery.
I haven't unlocked the bootloader for my k30 yet.. but I'll update when it is unlocked.

Just got a 150mb update today. Havnt took it yet. Trying to locate the file and poke around.
LG will most likely be pushing out an Oreo update for this device, the K20 plus and stylo 3 plus were included in the Stylo 4 plus kernel source (the stylo 2 plus was removed). However with this device having a non user-removable battery it may never see an official bootloader unlock method

Rejoice realme users.Your beloved device will get the Android P update.

Im eager to buy Realme 1 but ColorOS is blocking me!

If Oppo doesn't Provide the Unlocking Code or Support Fastboot Binaries, then it would only depend on some Tricks or Any Loopholes that would do the same.
Lets take the Eg. Of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 , it has got bootloader unlocked and within a month Custom Roms have started to come up.
Now lets take the Other Eg. Motorola Droid Turbo (Int. Version of Moto Turbo which i was using in 2015) it doesnt have Unlockable bootloader , but within 1 year developers have successfully Unlocked the Phone!
And another, Droid Turbo 2 (Int. Version Of Moto X Force which im using now) it also had unlockable bootloader , and its going to be 2years but till now People are unsuccessful for getting Root/Unlocking due to the fix in Loophole.
So if Oppo is Not Providing the Unlocking Code or It doesn't Support Unlocking (as far as i know now) its not to be correct to assume it would get rooted/unlocked but can only hope for good.
Realme 1 has mediatek P60 AI chipset. Also Android 8 doesn't support AI feature but Android 9 (Android P) does. ColorOs 5 is supported and powered of AI feature like Battery, Camera, etc. Maybe Company push stock Android. But isn't bad ColorOS.

I think its never gonna happen! Its like Same, Mi rolling out Stock Android 8.0 insted of MIUI 10 or Honor rolling Stock Android 8.1 insted of EMUI!
I didnt used colorOS or any oppo phone before but MIUI,EMUI,UX5.0,Touchwizz... and i didnt keep up with them especially with MIUI and EMUI!
I keep Moto as my primary device (since 2013) due to stock android and simple interface.
ColorOS wouldn't be the deal breaker for the most but for some (like me) its making me think twice before buying

The phone is running on 8.1 Oreo, that means it has project treble support, so there will be no issues in unlocking the bootloader and developing a rom for the Realme 1. Just have a little patience.

Project treble means to have separate Vendor partition , so that GSI can be boot without compiling a seperate rom with a specific vendor tree. But it dosent mean treble=unlocking

Yeah, but it's a little less difficult for the developers to unlock the phone. I think you know that starting with Android 8.x (Oreo), Google separated the Vendor and Manufacturer. That means the OS can be updated without having to touch the vendor implementation. Before project treble, The Vendors have to wait for the Unlock Code from the manufacturer which was very lengthy and delaying process, at least project treble solves this issue.

Only Manufacturers signed images can be flashed with locked bootloader , so if you are planning to boot a LOS GSI you will need a Unlocked bootloader , and by no way you can sign a image as same as manufacturer so jt will fail, as far as unlocking is concerned its in the hand of oppo only bcoz i heard that oppo deleted the fastboot binaries of the phone and to unlock the bootloader ,there must be a loophole or some think which can be exploited otherwise it would suffer the same fate as droid turbo 2. In future what happens i/we dont know but till now its correct to assume that phone is unlockable bcoz oppo is not supporting bootloader unlocking
Here, look at this,
There's an option to allow permissions for unlocking Bootloader, so i think in future maybe Oppo will allow modifications.

Hello Everyone!
I'm currently trying to decide whether to get the Honor Note 10, or the Xiaomi Mi Max 3. While the former clearly shows strength in terms of processing power, design etc., the later one has a major advantage in software due to it having treble support.
Hence, if I may ask to those of you who already have the phone, is the device treble enabled? I currently have my OnePlus 5 running Android Pie because of treble, and I would like to have my secondary phone be as flexible as well! I am highly aware that the bootloader unlock requires a paid service, but a few dollars for having barebones AOSP roms would be something I look forward to.
Thank you in advance to those who'll answer!

Hi,
As Huawei doesn't allow to unlock the bootloader, you won't be able to install any GSI to it...
Some people report to have managed to unlock it with a paid option and to install TWRP.
But I am almost certain that even if they did and assuming a GSI will install and boot, you'll end up with a crippled device with features missing or not working...
I'd like to see that also but I think for now I'll stick to stock to no get stuck ,?

Well, maybe we could find workarounds for it... But I do understand your point with having incompatible roms.. I have bricked a device before because of it. But I hope someone knowledgable could look into this, especially those who work on the Honor 10 and Honor View 10 . Anyways, I guess I'll just try by myself, got my unit just today :fingers-crossed:

Well for rooting you will need to unlock bootloader. After that you will need to wait for recovery. Someone will make it sooner or later. Once it is launched in India you will start seeing some progress. I just bought myself yesterday. Tried gcam of mi note 10 pro. It worked except slow motion. Since the hardware is same I guess most of the things will work

Yea I started the unlock process of 7 days the moment i got it... still sometime to go... I will use it as my main phone after unlock since unlocking resets everything... while flashing recovery and magisk should still keep my file.

My last device was Redmi note 8 pro. And for the purpose of development Xiaomi gave mobile units to developers in India. And after few days we started seeing recoveries and roms. So imo we should wait till it get released there or maybe someone else talented enough from other than India will do some miracles.
