Develop Bugs

CM13 on the T520?

Anyone have directions on doing this?

Directions?!
1: Use Google
2: Use YouTube yeah it might be fora slightly related Device, and not exactly the same one you have. But the principals exactly the same!
3: Use Google and use the Device Codename 'Picasowifi' that should get you to the CyanogenMod Page.
There you will see a list of *.zip Files, of which you'll only need to pick One. Though they all seem to be for CM12.1 (i.e. Lollipop), though.
So it looks like your kinda SOL on Marshmallow at the moment. But, as long as CM12.1 works, and it should!
And your continuing to get the newest Security Updates as you should. Then there isn't much different between the Two.

You have a marshmallow based rom in other forum (Tab Pro original Android development). Also there is an instruction how to flash it.

Why is Oreo taking so long?

I'm not asking for an ETA, as I know that's against the rules on xda.
However, I'm unable to find any info anywhere about the reasons why Oreo hasn't arrived. It was released in August, and over three months is a long time in custom ROM world.
I'm guessing it's being worked on but there are complications, but with the lack of updates being posted by the powers that be, it's hard to know. Can someone in the know tell me?

As far as i know it was the quick succession of Android 8.1 which let several custom rom developers drop Android 8 developement and jump directly onto the 8.1 train.

Let's hope 8.2 isn't released soon then.
I think many people would appreciate a blog post on the LineageOS website advising how things are progressing and what the challenges have been.

the blog post from December touched on the progress of Oreo and on skipping 8.0 to go straight to 8.1. (it's below the changelog text):
https://www.lineageos.org/Changelog-15/
However now that Android 8.1 has been released, we’re anticipating moving straight to the 15.1 branch where we’ll merge all our work done for 15.0 and finish the porting effort.

Also, a very recent news (January 1) here on XDA talks about an alpha build being available for the OnePlus 5:
https://www.xda-developers.com/lineageos-15-1-android-8-1-oneplus-5/
(I'm assuming that's from the official maintainer to have been worthy of a news).
So things seem to move into place.

Any OFFICIAL LineageOS 14.1 users?

Long story short, I'm looking for the most stable and refined custom ROM for the MZP. I'm currently using Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 and while everything is working fine, it isn't really that refined. As it is ported from what I guess is the Google Pixel, the OS thinks that the device is a Google Pixel. For example, when I set up the device, it shows the banner "Finish setting up your Pixel". Also, when I register my fingerprint to unlock the device, the setup shows to use the index finger and touch the sensor located on the rear of the device (like the Pixel's). Charging with the phone powered off is also bugged, as it shows nothing but "Charging ??/100". I know these may seem like small things, but I'm a person with extreme attention to detail (almost borderline OCD) and things like these just bug the hell out of me, even though it isn't the devs fault at all (mad respect to Alberto).
Basically, I want a custom ROM that is MADE for the device, not ported. If you guys get what I mean. Polished is the word, I guess.
Seeing as LineageOS 14.1 is officially supported, do these cosmetic flaws exist? Can any LOS users confirm this? I apologize for bugging this sub with my stupid questions, I just want to settle with my phone once and for all.
Thank you to all for your help!

Hi there,
None of the cosmetic flaws you said exist on the official LineageOS 14.1 ROM. I'm using it for several months now and it is certainly the most polished ROM created for this device.
By the way, I've tested weeks ago Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 and it was a weak experience. It wasn't optimized as I expected, some of the animations were jerky and I noticed multiple bugs.
I definitely recommend using LineageOS 14.1 ROM if you want a good experience. Also, I recommend using 7.1 ROMs instead of 8.0's/8.1's. They are way more stable and optimized.
If you have any question, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, that's bad.
You should post a message regarding this issue on the Official Lineage 14.1 topic to make the developper aware. I think that's not hard to make the bootloader compatible, it should be some parameters to change

I contacted the maintainer and he said it's not as simple as that, as there may be incompatibilities with a bootloader from a different Android version. We're messaging each other for the past few days and he sent me a test build. The flash succeeded, though we are unable to make it boot up.

I asked him yesterday but he said that it's against rules to ask for ETAs (even when I only asked him if it would come out, I didn't ask when :/)
Read the thread, one user already posted his email address here, though don't even try to ask him stuff like that again as surely he will link that to me.

The dev (mccreary) just fixed the issue and official LineageOS 14.1 will now be compatible for Oreo bootloaders on the next build (May 2).

I have sideloaded the Oreo OTA on stock firmware.
Now i want to go back using LineageOS 14.1, anyway to do it?

Is there any news for Lineage 15? I am kinda use to Oreo so I am looking for an Oreo ROM. I like AOSP no doubt but I'd also like to try a ROM that is build from scratch for MZP only.

I already asked him if it was in the works and he said don't ask for ETAs. I asked him again today and told him I wasn't asking for a date, just a confirmation if LOS 15 is in the works. We'll see what he says.
EDIT: So it counts as an ETA then. He said we'll just see it come out (so I guess it is in the works). But I wouldn't worry that much, the dev works really fast.
and yeah, I like a ROM that was made for the MZP as well. As much as I like Alberto's ROM, a ROM built from scratch > a port (though LOS 14.1 is Alberto's work as well). It's a pity he quit development of it.

rolling release android

hi guys,
i have a question about android. can i switch my rom to rolling release? thank you for your reply.

Need some more information here...
Unless I missed something idk what rolling release means?

"In software development, a rolling release, rolling update, or continuous delivery is the concept of frequently delivering updates to applications. This is in contrast to a standard or point release development model which uses software versions that must be reinstalled over the previous version."
sorry i dont know enough word to explain in english so i copied a bit and pasted. if you use a linux distro like arch linux, you just update packages like when you get play store updates and never get major updates like on ubuntu.

Just install the alpha and beta version of the rom/firmware you would like for frequent updates.
But sadly it doesn't work like that on mobile, you get a huge update once a year and patches every month (if you are on "stable")

if our devices supported Project Treble we would be able to receive system-less updates, which are possible due to treble's A/B partition scheme (as far as i konw but i am not entirely sure)

Firstly, what's that "system-less" but still the updating of the "system"? Learn before talking and know what you're saying (no personal offense, btw).
Then again you're wrong as mi 6 doesn't have that a/b partition scheme (even though it's not that hard to repartition the device storage to have two boot and system partitions, you'll need to have or compile a new kernel that supports that partition and booting scheme - and we don't have that yet).
Treble will only let you to update your system without touching the separated vendor partition.

What i meant is we could update the phone without needing to do a full restart and i said "IF OUR DEVICE SUPPORTED PROJECT TREBLE" didn't you read the "IF"? And with "system-less" i meant mostly bugfixes that can be installed without the need of restarting the whole device as that particular service would for example shutdown and then start again and in this way we could receive security patches and minor stability updates, not full android releases or another version of miui (from v9 to v10) these kinds of upsates should still need to be performed through recovery, please next time read a response carefully before responding and i personally stated that i am not that sure either at the end of my response so don't just look for some keywords and then go bashing others for no reason.

Sorry my bad on that "if" part you're right.
But still, that's not a "system-less" solution but a "recovery-less" updating way as with the a/b partitioning what we get is not having to use anything other than the currently running system to apply the updates (and the ability to roll back to that very currently running system, is something goes wrong with the new)

Where Is The OxygenOS 10.0.0 for the OnePlus 5 and 5T?

I see that on the OnePlus forum it mentions a roll out udpate for Android 10, but I still have not seen this on my phone.

OnePlus... They didn't announce anything since their first release of Android 10 in May. In August FAQ OP5 isn't even mentioned anymore.

Guys, even if you download the 9.0.11 build from https://www.oneplus.in/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1574156155944 and flash it, you shall see the OOS 10 update from system update. If not from system update then download the oxygen updater from play store.

Ok guys...
I'm just trying to figure out why I don't just get an update for it to the phone?
I thought by now everywhere in the world the update would be pushed to the phone already?
Are there still people not getting the update through the phone still OTA?
THANKS

Bite the bullet and manually update. I know it's a PITA; but, if there's no OTA for your phone and you want to upgrade to A10, just go for it. You'll be better off with a fresh install anyway.

Same situation in here. Waiting for Android 10 since May (when stable release rollout was announced).
Edit: I found way too many people talking about bugs on Android 10 (battery drain, fingerprint sensor delay, call recording bug). I'm not sure, but maybe staying on OOS 9.0.11 is the right call.
If someone in here is already on OOS 10, please comment on that. Thanks

Ok thanks

I suggest looking in the official OP5/T Android 10 announcement thread. Over 400 pages of complaints and questions and OP doesn't give a ****. The thread is like a disaster area. The first Android 10 update was pulled because of that many bugs. Shortly after they pushed the update again with some hotfixes but with the same version number and without announcement. Then they pulled it again.
Maybe in the next 1-2 weeks there will be an update with some fixes and a more recent security patch. Hopefully not only June like in hydrogen OS but I don't expect much to be honest. I'm almost done with OP

btw I installed OOS 10.0.0 and rooted (to install dotfix + Gcam) and I'm pretty happy with it.
also, google pay stopped working after root. I guess I'll live without it since dotfix is really worth it IMHO.
