I do…. So much! I remember when i was 12 years old and I flashed roms on my old Samsung Galaxy S Plus, bricked it, installed Cyanogenmod on it and used it for a couple more years, and I remember loving it so much. Cyanogenmod was fast, clean, no nonsense, customizable and direct. I know we have lineageos but it’s just not the same, there are no customization options like on Cyanogenmod.
I guess I’m the only one lol
I am not sure if there will ever be a LineageMOD.
I miss the MOD part of Cyanogen.
If I can make it work on this device why not include it?
Where as Lineage is more..
If it was not available on the device it can not be included.
I understand and support the path Lineage is on.
I do not agree with limiting a device due to upstream rejection or other custom modifications.
Lineage is still a custom rom.
For reference.
Requirements for an official build.
Lineage - [GitHub] - Charter
Cheers.
True, but the thing i love so much about LineageOS is because it feels so official lol.

Hello, just got my Nexus 5 in the mail and I'm happy to join this community along with my previous device forum
But my question is what's the difference between CAF and AOSP? And how would I tell if a ROM is based on CAF or AOSP?
I did a little research myself where CAF is Code Aurora Forums and that CM is now based off of it. It's also what's behind Qualcomm's kernel work and whatnot. AOSP is android as it is now. It was formerly based off CAF but bridged off a while back then and the .libs are a lot different from CAF now. Right?
(Thanks @poondog for getting me started on this!)
But how would I be able to tell if a ROM is CAF or AOSP? Would that really impact what kernels I flash and such? (like CAF ROM only CAF kernel)
Also what would the advantages between the 2, if there are any?
Thanks a lot!
Sincerely,
072665995

CAF=cyanogen 11 based roms, not all kernels work unless they state CM support in the OP which isnt many nowadays.
AOSP=the majority of roms in the original development section, also you will have a larger choice of kernels to play with.
its your choice some people have always loved CM i personally love AOSP but i have used CM in the past but with the N5 the majority of kernel development is with AOSP.
I think you could look into using multirom and test AOSP and CM at the same time but be aware of kernels not supporting CM just read the OP carefully to avoid problems.
i dont know if this helps, if not ill get my coat...
Noob question: Isn't cyanogen based off of AOSP anyway since they're both android?

yes http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/About
" So what is the difference between Android and CyanogenMod?
About 1-2 times a year, the vanilla Android operating system (known as AOSP, or the Android Open Source Project) is internally developed, then released to the public, by Google. They provide the source code to anyone who wants to download it. The CyanogenMod community, comprised of unpaid volunteers and enthusiasts from around the world, takes this newest Android code and "ports" it to dozens of new and older (aka "legacy") devices. At the same time, other CyanogenMod developers start adding features, fixes, and improvements that Google didn't include to the CyanogenMod code, which benefits all the devices. The CyanogenMod community has a whole infrastructure for people to build and test experimental versions, report bugs, and contribute back to the source code.
Sometimes features that started in CyanogenMod have appeared in newer version of "official" Android. And every time Android does a new "code dump" of their latest version, CyanogenMod benefits from Google's changes.
In this way, CyanogenMod is one (but not the only) community distribution of what started as vanilla AOSP. The Android community is vibrant, with numerous "modders" and "themers" and "performance enhancers" taking the source code and doing incredible things to it. Generally, there is a spirit of sharing knowledge and empowering people to experiment with controlling their devices, often giving old phones new life, and hopefully having fun in the process. "
Hey Folks,
I had no Samsung Device for ages but i got a brand new Galaxy S9+ in Gold for a nice Price and couldn't resist anymore. Now is the Question, is the Exynos Variant worth the Bootloader Unlock? I'm a Friend of AOSP / GSI Development and would like to contribute for My Device some Work. But how good is the Treble Support? Are GSIs working fine? Any Bugs or Features that i would miss compared to the locked stock OS? The ONE UI seems to be pretty nice and i'm very happy with My S9+ how it is. But i would also like a OS without all the Samsung Stuff and some Optimizations on top. All Opinions are Welcome!
Edit:
So i just decided to unlock My S9+ Duos and i'm already working on a Stock OS Project (Sadly since AOSP isn't that good rn). Anyways, the Samsung OS is pretty good. I will debloat it hardly and add Google Apps besides some heavy background optimizations on the System. That will be something new for Samsung Users... Stay tuned!
Edit2:
Project will be called GOSP (Galaxy Open Source Patch). Aiming on Debloating Samsungs Firmwares besides adding Google Apps, new Features and optimized System Configurations for better Performance, Quality and Battery Lifetimes. It will be open on GitHub for contributions and everyone is welcome to work with Me on a unified Stock ROM Project for all Galaxy S9 and S10 Variants (Also the coming Ones and Note 9/10 Devices).
The First Time that i haven't unlocked my Bootloader right after getting My Device. If no One explains Me the Pro and Cons am i keeping it locked. I don"t trust This Samsung Pseudo Security Stuff aka Knox and Counters... IT's like i said For Years. Samsung is just the better Apple. Can't wait to Hear News about Tizen lol
Not a lot is happening on the AOSP side of things, just a los 16 project that seems to be stable enough for daily use. There are a few very nice stock based roms like soldiers or ambasadii. Go and have a look on the cross development forums. For me personally there are pros, I like my device bloatfree and my kernel modified for my usage. But the cons are that there is not a big community (strange for a newer Samsung device.......), not much treble sGSI support at all, and a very small chance of getting a large number of different AOSP roms in the near future. Hope I helped

I'm wondering how @phhusson is working with Treble since he made various patches on his AOSP GSI Development. Do we use Stock Vendors with the GSIs? Hows the Pie Status? Many GSIs are out there who get many Updates over the Time including Phhussons Changes on the AOSP Base so i would push My Efforts in this Direction...
I've read that Hardware composing isn't working and that the Iris Scan isn't implented in AOSP. Is there anything besides that left? It looked to me that Phhusson fixed most of the Issues so far!? I'm really about to unlock My Baby... (Still hate Exynos lol)

I dont know how he is working, but sGSIs for out device are crap, and that is a good way to say it. There is no thread for the new LOS 16, but the HWC bug is solved in the new builds. Yeah the issues are fixed but the stability, battery life and other things are bad for my taste

I'm really sad that i can't get a Snapdragon Samsung Device in Germany but i Think ill unlock the Bootloader, make a Backup and try out some Things. Stock seems to be Very Good actually. Maybe do i something in that Direction Again. But also possible that i work on Treble... I just need a Day or Two to decide that.
Shouldn't hurt to start a new Project for such unbeloved Device. The Overall Hardware i Superb. But i never worked with Exynos. That will be a intersting Trip...
Alright, i will do a Stock Project aiming on Debloating the Samsung Stuff out of Stock Devices and optimizing of the overall System Quality. Or how i call it: "Patching".
Required will be a Stock Samsung OS or ROM and My Patch does the Rest. Included will be also new and hidden Features and a Google like Expierence with essential System Apps from Google. Think i will use My last AROMA Utility for it which includes AROMA File Manager and other Goodies...
Can't wait to see what i can unleash on Samsung Devices..
One UI is really far away from AOSP. Hard to implent Pixel Features and such... Not even Well Beeing from Google will be shown in the Samsung Settings.
Think i will give Linage OS from the first of this Month a Shot and See how it Runs...
Thank you for your involvement!
If you want to contribute to s9+ exynos community, you could also port the gcam from pixel. There are some ports, but they are bad, and discontinued.

The Samsung Camera is actually pretty good. But i will take a look...
Is anyone willed to help me testing btw? Project will be called GOSP (Galaxy Open Source Patch) and i'm open for any Devs who want to join and contribute...
Hello,
I'm still using my Oneplus One with the original Cyanogen Mod.
I can definitely noticed the age of my phone nowadays. As I recently discovered that there are stable builds of Lineage OS available for the OPO I started wondering if an updated software would give my phone a bit of a revival. In general it is still in a good condition so I don't really want to just replace it.
Just wanted to hear your thoughts and opinions, if it is worth to update the software or if I rather should start searching for a replacement.
What is there to lose if you first try out the newest LineageOS, which is based on Android 11?
If you do not need things like a better camera or use your phone for gaming, the OPO is still as good as ever. I think my phone is smoother to use than it was 7 years ago because of the LineageOS team's work. Tomoms even has a performance optimized build for the OPO, which I can recommend strongly. Beware that the optimized build is more experimental than the official LineageOS.
Hi, I upgraded my oneplus one a couple of months to lineage OS 17.1 - works well and after adding Gapps is almost like a new phone. it is slightly slower but it gave a new life. little apprehensive for getting lineage Os 18.1, as it says it will be even slower due to software encryption
I recently saw that the OnePlus One is one of the first devices to get a LineageOS 18.1 build. Which I found kind of surprising because it is such an old device.
I guess it could be because the stock ROM of the OnePlus One (outside of Asia) was CyanogenOS which is a proprietary fork of CyanogenMOD which is the predecessor of LineageOS. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
But it still seems weird that newer OnePlus phones like the OnePlus 7 don't have official LineageOS 18.1 builds as of now...
I'm curious what drives the developers to support certain devices over others and if there is a way for me to be able to predict which device is going to be supported for a long time and maybe even more importantly which device is going to be the most stable.
As an example, I very much regret my purchase of the Nvidia Shield Tablet, as they stopped supporting it with 15.1 and even that version always had massive problems (UI lags 90% of the time).
As a positive example, my Oneplus 5T has always been very stable (for the most part; Bluetooth is pretty buggy) and is one of the first devices to have gotten a LineageOS 18.1 build.
(I personally don't care about unofficial builds btw because I need regular OTA security patches from a reliable and very trusted source.)
Some time ago I read an article about some sort of feature regarding the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) that might make it much easier for ROMs like LineageOS to add support for them. I think it was called "treble". Maybe I should look for devices supporting that? I really don't know...
At the moment I'm looking for a new Tablet to buy. Maybe this time I can get my hands on a device that will last me longer and won't have any severe issues.
No one?

GSI roms are a thing, make sure your device has an unlockable bootloader and atleast android 9.
Well, having an unlockable bootloader is kind of obvious, isn't it? I mean if it wasn't unlockable, it wouldn't be listed on https://download.lineageos.org/
Not sure what GSI is, but I'm not looking for an alternative ROM to LineageOS.
So far there was plenty of choice between roms with each android version as the years went by. Android 8 got a lot, 9 a bit less but still plenty, 10 a lot again but 11 seems to be largely skipped (at least by the major big roms). As far as i know, there is only Lineage, Graphene, Tugapower, Kali Nethunter and that's it. (there is Havoc-OS too but it's not official and has barely any features)
Of course it's still better than nothing at all to keep the opo working so i'm very thankful to the devs for that. Even android 10 will be useful for a few more years (i'm currently on RR android 8 and no issues so far even now). TWRP had an update in may 2022 which was a nice surprise, so that's pretty cool at least.
Is there any indication at all that someone is working on android 12 for the opo?
Many rom builders nowadays have their own site now. Below i found a site some time ago that has a lot of them in one place to easily keep track if any progress happens:
OnePlus One ROMs Archives

theunlockr.com
So far no major names like Resurrection Remix, Syberia, MSM-X, Havoc, Posp, among many others..
Correct me if i'm wrong. Maybe i missed something completely. Perhaps you guys have some interesting opinions aswell.
edit: not sure why mod moved it to here(i posted in general on purpose). it's not a technical problem but whatever, i guess knowing context is hard
edit2: even the galaxy s2 and s3 got android 12 now. If those devices can boot it, the opo (which is comparable so an s5) surely has to be capable enough. i hope someone out there is developing someting..
