The Lineage OS is just getting out, and since A (2016) series phones really need a stock android based ROM, it would be very nice to see some developers working for this beautiful device as well. Given how popular this phone is, i think it's a shame there's no stock android ROM for it. We beg you developers, TouchWiz is really annoying!

I have a 5 years old mid-range smartphone Samsung Galaxy s4 mini(19192) few days back i flashed lineage os 15.1 on it, and lineage os 15.1 is based on Android 8.1 with January 5,2k18 security patch and on the other hand i have this Xperia z5 premium which is 2.5 years old but still no oreo roms are available for this...so if a mid-range old device can get oreo update and have tons of custom roms then why the developers aren't making rom for Xperia z5 premium?

Finally a question that I can help answer!!
There are several reasons why development for the Sony Z5 Premium is very very slow.
Samsung devices are FAR more popular on the market then Sony https://www.statista.com/statistics/271496/global-market-share-held-by-smartphone-vendors-since-4th-quarter-2009/. So it would make sense that since Samsung is more popular then there would be more development for that brand in general.
Limited development for Sony devices is partly because Sony isn't very helpful in releasing information needed to help our volunteer developers. Custom ROMs need the access to the device's kernel. A kernel is a piece of proprietary software developed by the phones manufacture that allows the operating system to talk to the hardware. Sony is not very helpful in releasing details about their device's kernels. This means our volunteer developers have to work 1000x harder to get limited functionality from the device. Samsung on the other hand is a little more generous with releasing their kernels for public development.
As an aspiring programmer, I respect that it takes a lot of SKILL and TIME to develop ROMs, root mechanisms, and any other work that is needed to bring a new feature to a cell phone. This is done by passionate volunteers who have lives besides making contributions to this community. If you're that interested and passionate in helping these developers then I recommend that you get actively involved in the development community.
I hope this helps. It's frustrating but this is the reality. Even more frustrating is that I just learned that my Z5P has a permanently locked bootloader. I won't be able to play with any of these custom ROMs
Hello everyone,
This is my first ever thread on XDA. I have two Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Neo (SM-T111). The thing is, the tablet slows down a LOT due to the 768MB of RAM and a REALLY SLOW processor. Currently, there are no custom roms for this tablet. I do not like Dr. Ketan's custom rom. I want a fresh, clean version of Android. I was patiently waiting for a group who tried making an Unofficial Lineage OS rom for the SM-T111, but it failed. The tablet has Android 4.2.2 (Jellybean) and it has too much bloatware. Also, the Samsung TouchWiz UI is NOT optimized at all for this tablet. Despite the tablet's screen resolution being 540p, Samsung decided to make all the wallpapers and icons close to 1080p. The TouchWiz UI seems to be really bogging down this tablet. I decided to at least remove the bloatware, wallpapers, ringtones, etc., but the rom is really hard to deal with. Can someone PLEASE help to create an Unofficial or Official version of LineAge OS? I really need it. I have owned both tablets for over 8 years. PLEASE HELP :crying:
Hello,
I have two tablets with very little support.
Either the programmers gave up because the original configuration were too complexe. I know there are a few who like challenges.
In any case
1st tablet
RCA
RCT6203W46
AKA VIKING PRO 2
2nd tablet
Hipstreet phoenix
HS-10DTB12A-16MG
AKA PHOENIX
Is there anyone that can confirm any custom roms working on these units.
4.4.2 and 5.0 are very limiting.
Thanks for looking into this.
There are good number of people that bought these units that would be very happy if anything worked other then stock rom.
Also, I just finished twrp / rr oreo on my old samsung mega 6.3 with full smooth success because of your programmers.
Kick ass!!!
I've been using pixel experience for a couple of months but i think lineage os is a little snappier so i decided to switch back but I can't find the official build for it anymore, the device is nowhere to be found in the supported device list. Is this the end?!!
Yes. Maybe they will move to redmi note 7/7 pro.
They sure dropped this phone fast, its not even a year old. And besides the RN4 is still supported but not the 5? WTF
And theres still no global RN7 version either so why the rush.
One reason could be that many developers of this phone got an upgrade to flagship level phones like Pocophone F1. I'm assuming the official Lineage OS developer was one of them, which may have affected the update intervals and features with time. Maybe that's why the Lineage OS team chose not to keep this phone on their list. (Unless if a developer invests their skills and time on this).
Also, Lineage OS also didn't stand out that much in this device's forum because of Custom ROMs like Pixel Experience, HAVOC, AOSIP, and OEM ROMs like Oxygen OS and Samsung Experience. These developers have contributed so much that Lineage OS was not really needed that much. (Please Thank these developers on the forums and donate, if you can. They really have worked hard on this)
I could be wrong but it must be related to either of these things.
???
Does anyone has the last official build? is not on the official page anymore
First of all thank you developers for all the amazing work. Especially nitish and anabhi for pioneer work in stable ROMs with FP sensor, running the lineage os myself.
Now we have good and stable roms based on android 8.1 and we cant thank you enough for your dedication on a phone whose company itself seems to be laziest in terms of ROM development and updates.
But we would love to get the lineage os 16 based on android pie and for those of you who dont know here are some of the best features this ROM:-
The UI is totally reamped and fluid.
Great battery life
Record screen with internal audio built in for PUBG gamers like me.
Disable the notch for specific apps(which i really miss from color OS)
Night mode easiely available, its present in 15.1.as well under color temperature in live display.
Its based on PIE.
AND MANY MORE
And I know that devs might need a stable color os 6 based on pie rom for the base of developing pie roms and I toally get it but If there is way to do it earlier its would be amazing, if not I have faith in you that you will work very fast as the color os 6 comes out in june, which I am not sure as REALME is so bad in terms of major updates just like every other brand in this segment.
Again thanks to devs and you have done more than one can ever ask for THANK YOU from the whole REALME 2 PRO COMMUNITY
???????
Color os 6.0 Update
Does anyone received color os 6 update for realme 2 pro?
I haven't
