So I searched some things and hopefully this will clear your doubts.
I'll be going through every popular ROM for this device.
Its been 4 months since OmniROM Oreo build and I truly believe that there will not be any more of OmniROM for the Find7 as there has been no changes in the repo. I am thankful for all the support the devs provided for this device for past 2-3 years. This and Nameless were two ROMs that supported LVMs.
I am also positive that NamelessROM is dead as well (even though the dev said he's working on it 30 weeks ago https://plus.google.com/+AlexanderMartinz/posts/N1Fmfc25iks there has been no changes in its source since a year approximately. Also, he's a bit secretive when asked to disclose his progress of ROMs.
AICP devs have already deleted all the Find7 ROM zip files from their website (http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=find7). No changes in the source after Dec 2017 either (https://github.com/AICP/device_oppo_find7).
ResurrectionRemix ROM is dead for Find7 as well. They are busy making 8.1 ROMs for OP5T.
MokeeROM and LineageOS 14.1 are still active for 7.1.2. As we all know, none of them support LVM/Unified storage.
Our only hope LineageOS 15.1, is still in development. I've seen its changlog and they seem to be working on it.
(I'm referring to the device specific changlogs - https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_oppo_msm8974 and https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_oppo_common.
crDroid will make a build only after LineageOS 15.1 is released. As of now they've put the device into "dropped" categories (https://plus.google.com/108033353751385883417/posts/V1MAec8qN1D).
Oppo Find 7
If I'm being honest, I've been running 2.1.5 color os and its been working fine for the past 3 years. I've tried custom roms but they just don't tend to work whether that's with the LVM or other features.
The phone itself is still an amazing phone even in 2018 especially the camera! :good:
I mean tell me one thing this phone cannot do?
The main reason why I personally think they have stopped giving support to mobile phones is because of the money that they are spending on advertisement especially in India where the entire Indian cricket team has OPPO labelled on their jersey. But, also the amount of advertising money they have spent to make the brand more aware in ASIA/Europe.
As for the OPPO Find 7 in my opinion is still one of the flagship device on the market.
I am looking for a new rom and a new battery but I can't find something. Also the oppo Europe community has been deleted from website..
still okay

Rest In Peace Oppo Find 7 - March 2014-2018
Now if you're like me and want to buy a device that has a great development community, don't ever buy Oppo again. The company demonstrated many innovative solutions and features in their older devices such as Find series and the N series but as of now they're completely against any third party development for their devices. They don't release sources like they used to (especially camera blobs) and want to focus on copying other brands.

Thank you very much for your comprehensive interesting summary. I did not know Oppo switched to consumer unfriendly mode. I am going to rethink buying an OP 5. Although I have to admit a Find 7a with omni 7.1.2. is running just fine, maybe another one or two years.

AOKP is still on, but nougat http://aokp.co/devices/find7
Is this AOKP work on Find 7a or its only for 7? Also are there any instructions on how to install it? Now i have 2.1.5i ColorOs with Supersu root installed. Can i have magisk instead?
Oppo cut off all international activities and projects because OnePlus now handles it for them. They know that Oppo and ColorOS can't appeal to the international market, which is why OnePlus has the whole stock android thing (and why OnePlus isn't very active in China. Oppo handles that side of the market).
I'm still hoping on Lineage btw.
My telephone rest here in front of me....
Still have Omnirom 6 with stock camera and other stuff....works like a champ!
But now i have a Mi NOte 3 to play.....still, Oppo was my best phone ever!

That doesn't mean much either. My Nexus hasn't seen any device specific change for a while now, still I'm confident that development is still going on.
I looked on Gerrit and Find7 has been promoted to 15.1, so fingers crossed the next build (tmr) is Oreo.

temp fix if you can't flash any LOS15.1 based rom:
in file : META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
remove the first a few lines started with ASSERT. They are checking if the zip is actually for the device. but the twrp we have for Chinese unified partition can't handle the check properly. just remove the check, and you will have oreo 8.1.

using PC, unzip the downloaded file, go to crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180409-find7-v4.1.zip/META-INF/com/google/android/, open updater-script with a text editor, make the change, save the file, re-zip. then flash the new zip file.

Just flashed lineage os 15.1 latest update for one plus 5. Everything was running smoothly. But after i rebooted my phone i started getting wifi problem. I enter my wifi password, my phone says "saved". But I doesn't connect to the wifi. If I click connect again it asks for password again. Any idea how to fix it. I flashed the rom twice. Same problem both time.
Btw my wifi dont have any problem.

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS 15.1 thread that's specific to your device for some member guidance and support.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3727228
Good Luck!

I had the same problem on my Xiaomi Mi A1 on LOS 15.1. Just reboot your router.
I have twrp installed and updated,after fighting with gapps for sometime I managed to get pico installed ( don't know why was such a problem I have 10gb of storage available), and lineage 14.1 on my nexus 7 2013 wifi (flo). My lineage version is 15.1-20180815, my android security patch level is "August 5, 2018".
I'm trying to find out if there is a newer security patch version available, I can flash or sideload and where to download it from. Google stopped with seciruty patches for my N7 almost 2 years ago, so thats a no go. Anyone know where to get the latest, if there is a later than August on lineage.

My apologies to the forum for posting this in the wrong thread section. I was at it until 3 am last night. I guess an August 2018 security patch from lineage is a lot better than what I was getting from Goog which was zilch. I can't believe have fast this old N7'13 is running now. Just wanted to thank the forum for all the links and info on how to install twrp & a new mod, this was my first try at it.
Hey, so I wanted to install MIUI 10 with Android 9 on my Xiaomi Mi6 6/64 and I was not able, instead I was forced to download ROM directly from Xiaomi servers (bagota.d.miui.com), also recovery image was not working under Orange Fox 9.0 so I used fastboot, and I got it.
But I'm little scared about that Pie update have bugs and so thus this is why it got rollbacked? I'm not sure, but maybe really it got rollbacked? But why there is no any information and I was forced to do my own research via google?
http://en.miui.com/download-326.html
Maybe it's working only in OTA but OTA updates were not working for me since I got Magisk and unblocked BT? I got "wait minute or two" error when on Android 8 I choosed "Install from selected package" but I don't got it working tho.
Hello,
I've just bought fresh new and sealed OP5T 8/128.
I've got ONEPLUS A5010_43_171115 build (Android 7.1.1, Oxygen 4.7.2) installed on the phone.
How can I update it to Android 9 or straight to the 10? The OTA doesn't show any updates and when I tried to install 9.0.11 using local file from the official OnePlus website, the installation failed
Thanks for your help in advance

Use Oxygen Updater from the Play Store. It'll show you the latest version you can update to safely (it will most likely be OOS 5.1.4, which creates the vendor partition). Once done, re-open Oxygen Updater and it'll show OOS the next latest you can update to safely (and this should be OOS 10).
You need to install 5.1.4 first, then update to 10
