Is (was) CM and OxygenOS officially supported by OnePlus?

Hello,
i am new too oneplus one, i am bit confused. Was cyanogenmod up to version 13.1.2 officially supported by the manufacturer? Later they released an other OS called "OxygenOS" but as i can see, CM was longer supported and had more updates. And it stoped with Android 6.0.1, officially?
So the manufacturer supported 2 OS Versions officially?
Just asking, cause i want to sell my second Oneplus one and the buyer wants an official stock rom. Right now i have it on the latest (supported?) CM 13.1.2.

You're better off with cos13.1.2,just sell your device.And tell him to check XDA if he decides to upgrade to Nougat unofficially.

But is it an official OS which (was) supported by the manufacturer?

Yes, the OPO shipped with COS and got official support and updates up to COS 13.1.2. The software support was up to Cyanogen inc which has now shut down (I mean check the bottom back part of your phone and you'll see the branding).

Newer devices don't have the branding.

OnePlus one sets sold in China came with Color OS instead of CyanogenMod. So these sets did not have the CyanogenMod brand name at the back.

Just install CyanogenOS (not CyanogenMOD). It was officially supported by the manufacturer.

6.0.1 to 7.1.2
My OnePlus One was bought recently with Android 6.0.1 and Cyanogen OS version 13.1-ZNH2KAS1kN. I have rooted it and have been searching for some time to see if there are prerequisites involved before flashing a current ROM (7.1)? One other devices there are upgrade processes but for the life of me cannot find any threads on this subject....

I have been reading Heisenbergs threads for hours, I used his method for rooting but still do not see an answer to my question in them. I just installed [ROM][LineageOS][Android 6.0.1] TugaPower M104.0 and now I have a blank screen guess I'll go back to factory image then...

Selling my OPO: return to stock or flash latest Lineage OS?

The title is self explanatory.
I'm selling my beloved (and sometimes behated) Oneplus One that has obviously been modded since day 1.
Unfortunately I never tried stock Lineage OS so I'm asking you guys if it is stable enough to be flashed instead of the stock and obsolete COS13.
Thanks!

I don't think it is as stable as cos13,but you should sell the device with nougat.
My suggestion is Flash sultan's lineage os and sell it.

The camera crashes in panarama mode. Otherwise solid is. Oneplus has the oxygenos for this phone but its version 5.1 if you want rock solid stability

There is OOs 3.1.4 port which is stable as well.

Some OTa updates install the factory camera back on..

I ended up locking the bootloader and reinstalling COS13, mainly because some banking apps and Netflix don't show up on the Play Store with an unlocked bootloader.
It's been almost 3 long years of flashing and modding, now I'll try so stay stock with no root as long as possible with my new Redmi Note 4
Thank you for the advice, cheers guys!

Replacement for Xiaomi Stock MIUI that can still OTA/less maintenance for non-techie

So I've gotten an Mi 5s Plus for my wife but she wants a more up to date version of Android than what Xiaomi is releasing (current is MIUI 8.5/Android 6.0.1) as they take forever to update.
Obviously I don't want to be tech support moving forward, and I'd like her to be on the latest version of Android. I just really want this to be a set and forget sort of thing, so assuming it would need to be a base ROM of some sort from a major releaser, hopefully there is something released with everything working.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what ROM i could use on her phone so that she doesn't have to worry about updates as she will just receive them OTA?
As with myself she also will require the phone to be NON-ROOTED for her work, along with banking apps (which I'm assuming you can always remove root/lock the phone after installing the ROM).
I don't mind if its a version of MIUI or not but I'd like it so that all the features of the phone still work which I'm assuming would be MIUI.
Thanks for any help.

I think Xiaomi.eu weekly ROMs have OTA, but I'm not sure.
If not than maybe Lineage OS.
Ressurection Remix definitely has OTA.

https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/

Have you tried the global developer ROM? It is quite stable from my testing and is updated nearly every week. It is Android 7.0.

Are these OTA updates?

Is the global developer rom certified so that Android Pay works?
Also I'm assuming the updates to this are OTA, if I miss a couple weeks can you just update to the most recent one?

Ressurection would be interesting, thanks. Does it support Android Pay?

@umirza85 Not sure. I'd try but I've rooted it.

Questions about ROMs before buying

Hey guys,
I'm thinking about buying the Mate9 dual sim version (which is probably MHA-L29C432 as I'm buying it in Germany?), but I have two questions:
1) Are there any good ROMs for this phone? What I'm looking for is a stable ROM with vanilla android experience and xposed support.
2) How easy is it on this phone to return to the original state after flashing a new ROM (in case I have to return the phone to the store for warranty or similiar)?
Thank you!

1: there are only stock roms, no AOSP.
There are 3 actively updated roms.
Xposed should work with both, it works with stock as well.
2: it's pretty easy, you need to unlock bootloader though. But if you already installed a rom you'll have it unlocked. Check this guide to install stock https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Bootloader will lock again when you use that guide, leaving no trace.

I have hopes that Project Treble support comming with the Oreo update will help a bit with custom roms.
If everything works like it should, we should be able to run AOSP on the Mate 9

i would pass. there are no current devs working on AOSP ROMs for this device and i doubt there will be. i would avoid huawei at all costs if you want AOSP ROMs. stick with snapdragon devices as they have CAF. at this time of the year there are new devices being released and announced so look elsewhere.

Thank you for your answers guys! I decided against it. Wish you all good luck on getting AOSP!

Most stable, up to date and future proof ROM?

Which one is it? Most of the ROMs which have been posted here haven't got an Update for ages now, the only one which seems up to date is the Oreo one, however I am afraid that this ROM will be dead too soon (hopefully not) :/ I just hope that this ROM will be our savior and get us out of this misery aka EMUI.

I'm in the same situation. Most of the roms have some bugs and never get updated and others are just not stable enough to be used daily. I hope there will be at least one rom that is stable and that gets updated from time to time. Especially since Honor 8 won't get Android Oreo anymore.

crDroid is under testing for latest B401 blobs and the GPS reboot fix. I'll update it as soon as possible.

Never heard of crDroid before, can you tell what it is like? Is it a rom based on the B401 firmware? Whats the difference between the other ones? And in what kind is this firmware/rom better than teh other ones?

I'm new to the Honor 8 (and coming from the Nexus 6: ease of modding/availability of custom firmware etc., this totally sucks). But I'll tell you that generally the only "better" custom ROM is a more stable ROM: otherwise, it depends on user preference. Do you want a lot of customization options, or are you preferring a pared-down, bare-bones experience? That's what makes the difference.
The trouble with the H8 appears to be that 1) EMUI for the H8 just doesn't play very nicely with custom ROMs (and possibly even just rooting?); and 2) because of that, not many people who are interested in developing ROMs are taking on the task.
So I'd just get used to EMUI or take whatever ROM is most stable according to most--I have no idea personally what that is, but your options are going to probably be pretty limited (especially now that it looks like Huawei is shafting H8 owners by not releasing Oreo). I doubt you've got any room to be picky here: just shoot for stability.
As for crDroid specifically, it is one of many lines of ROMs (like Resurrection Remix) and is released in different variants for different phones. This one is based on Cyagenmod (and my guess is the Honor 8 one isn't official, but rather an unofficial variant, "based on" crDroid)--but you could've found that out by using Google (see here for starters).
The Honor 8 appears to be an especially difficult device to successfully mod, so if you're a beginner, I'd really think twice before taking on the task unless you can get some help. I'm fairly well-versed with modding, but I'm either going to return this phone or limit my tinkering to rooting.
