If the source code isn't released we can't do anything. So it's probably not even the dev's fault as much as it is Google's.
All we can do is wait.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news...
Ports assume the two devices (the base device, and the one to port to) are very similar (same chipset, et cetera). A good example (I used to use HTC) is the Sensation was a very good base for the MyTouch 4G Slide (they even shared the same battery design/size).
Unfortunately the Zenfone 2 and either of the new Nexus devices are worlds apart from each other. They don't share the same architecture, let alone chipset. We would be better off piggybacking off the work of the ASUS Fonepad 7 FE375CG (Z3560 Chipset) or the Asus Memo Pad 8 ME581CL (Z3580) - but in reality, in terms of updates - it's more likely we would be the base for those devices in a few months time.
Sorry.

That's right, all we can do is wait, then build from source once available.
Porting has it's place, but it can be a gong-show.

Source already available
We should wait for devs to build it ?

AOSP is available, but now we have to wait to have CM13 in a manageable state. I don't imagine cpalmer and jrior001 will put on the brakes with CM12.1 to build straight from AOSP.
ROMe wasn't built in a day, and it will be months before CyanogenMod will be able to have the AOSP source modified for the new CM13 and reach the coveted milestone one.

Why am I being thrown under the bus? :silly:
In all seriousness, if CarbonROM continues to base their stuff off of CM (which I heard talk of that changing), this time around they may be once again months behind CM in terms of an official product (e.g, none of their devices have hit official status yet this round, or at least as of last night).
Not to speak ill of course, which is why I am curious of the route that does not involve basing off of CyanogenMod.
No guarantees with my involvement to 6.0, but I am interested in the job. I just can't predict what my life demands are going to be like in the spring (time seems tight right now, but I manage).
My short and medium term plans is to keep the 5.1 builds going, hopefully even after Carbon calls it quits for this branch to focus on the new one. The only possible things stopping me are:
Carbon leaves lp5.1.1 branch perfect, meaning I don't even have to do monthlies anymore (also means no future security issues)
CyanogenMod breaks their sources badly (has happened recently when Carbon couldn't keep up)
I get the official stock 6.0 image which ends up breaking modem usage - leaving me unable to properly downgrade to 5.1 to test
It feels like with this plan, someone is going to beat me to the punch by building a CarbonROM mm-6.0 ahead of me. Which is why at some point, I will (probably) be doing builds in parallel. But we shall see when we get there.

Just read this: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/10/android-6-0-marshmallow-thoroughly-reviewed/
Doesn't seem much for us CM12.1 users to get very excited about anyway. Material design not changed from Lollipop, Google Now launcher already updated with the changes, selectable app permissions already included in CM12.1 via Privacy Guard, fingerprint api and 4K display stuff irrelevant to our zenfones...
Personally, I think a stable CM12.1 (5.1.1) build is more important. In fact, the unofficial build we already have is stable and very nearly there, but I would rather see the last few kinks ironed out and official status before any time is put into 6.0

Most importantly, it should support 64bit for the z00a. Any news on this?

The next month, asus update android 5.1 for zenfine 2, maybe 6.0 ? I don't know this,

Possible to port Google Pixel ROM to HTC 10?

Hello developers!
I am not savvy at all on programming but I had a question. Would it be possible to port the Google Pixel ROM to the HTc 10? I know the Pixel is made by HTC and the specs are pretty similar. I would not be able to do it because I have no clue. I was just curious if it would be possible (without a astronomical amount of work).
Thanks for any replys.

Good question, possible probably, how long and how much work. Well that's another question that requires someone with the ability.

question itself was really a discussion point not an actual question when you are asking nougat to be ported to htc 10 when mm hasn't yet been ported or even the pixel is yet to launch on many countries/areas/stores

google devices/roms are on aosp/vanilla/cm android and none of them of MM is yet ported to htc 10... you could see the progress of cm ports currently on htc dev threads

I concur with @SacredDeviL666, good discussion point indeed.
And yes sometimes i speak or text to carry on a point just for the sake of it.

You didn't say vanilla MM the first time around. The 10 shipped with Marshmallow and had access to the full feature set of Marshmallow. I know very well what AOSP is. It's exciting the sort of progress that's being done on CM, despite the calm of late.
Also, Pixel isn't Vanilla. It has added apps/features that will not be on Nexus devices, and are beyond AOSP. The Pixel ROM is a skinned Android.

There's actually a Pixel ROM made for the Nexus devices now! Can anyone port this? The link is for the Nexus 5X --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/rom-pixelmod-lg-nexus-5x-t3486862

With lineage, resurrection remix and some other vanilla roms, not to mention certain parts of the pixel like the launcher and I think the dialer have been made avaliable, there isn't a massive demand for it.. Not when there isn't really any difference between the two.
Perhaps the so called added apps and features to be added would be a better question and probably one with a more probable positive outcome.

@SacredDeviL666 Let me just hop in with the statement that Pixel ROM is not vanilla Android. Its close, but its not. Nexuses had vanilla Android. Having a custom skin (Pixel Launcher) and additions to the system that aren't part of the AOSP or available to all other OEMs makes the Pixel equal to Sense, TouchWiz, EMUI etc...
In a way, asking to port Pixel ROM is like to ask if someone could port TouchWiz ROM. You can imagine how hard it would be to port TouchWiz.
BUT, unlike other skinned ROMs, Pixel apps can easily be installed onto other devices.
As a conclusion, for a close-as-possible Pixel ROM, use the most vanilla AOSP ROM you can find,
and only install Gapps and apps that arent part of that package but belong to Pixel, like the launcher.

Pretty sure it's not impossible since it was ported to the Nexus 6P, 5X, 6, 9 and not sure what other so it can be done!

Never said its impossible, just that there's no need to port the ROM because you get most features by just installing Pixel apps onto your phone.
Some other things, that are Pixel exclusives, a bit harder to port. Or we may need to implement those from scratch. Also, the phones you mentioned are all Nexus devices
with drivers available. If you try to port to another OEM you will probably have part of hardware not working or working but laggy.
Pixel is made in perfect sync with software and hardware, and we don't know what optimizations did Google do for their phone under the hood.

Pixel 2 XL on AOSP based ROMs (Research/Testing)

Hello Folks, i'm having some Questions about the Pixel 2 XL and AOSP based ROMs (Lineage is also AOSP/CAF based) in general. Maybe is someone willed to help Me out. So here's what i would like to know:
-Is the Pixel 2 XL able to play HDR Content on AOSP?
-Are all Pixel Stock Features available? (Like Instant Tethering/Apps, unlimited Photo Uploads etc. (Except Music Recognition))
-How is the Sound compared to Stock? (Loudness, Clearness, Bass (Speaker & Headphones))
-And last but not least, how is the Performance? (Responsiveness, Lags, Gaming/Benchmarks)
I need some Help from Pixel 2 XL Users to find out if there is actually a improvement possible by using My Project called "Snappatch". I would test it by myself but i was not able to buy one till now. Any Help and testing is much appreciated, and i just hope i can deliver some Goodness for this awesome Device (In My Opinions is the Pixel 2 XL still ruling right after the Axon 7).
All the Best

From personal experience with DU and AquariOS, about the only stock feature not working is Active Edge. And in some cases, connectivity problems for Sprint users as far as Volte goes. Everything else you mentioned seems to be just like stock :good:

i love one plus 7T

who else love it

I thought there was gonna be a "but" on the text lol. I do love it too, I came to this phone from a Pocophone and the only thing i miss is the custom ROMs development on the Oneplus 7T.

I came from pocophone too. Lack of development is kinda disappointing, and i recently saw that delevopers said "TWRP may never come because of the new partition layout on android 10".

Don't know if it's never gonna come or devs just haven't had the time to work on it. I read on their blog that the primary dev was having his child born and coudn't work on it. Also if I'm not mistaken the only phones with Android 10 out of the box as of right now are the Pixel 4 series and the Oneplus 7T series so not a lot to work on. Wait until Xiaomi, Samsung and more brands release Android 10 by default and I think development of TWRP on this new kind of partition system is gonna get more attention. That is why I'm hopeful that development for this phone can get more attention "soon-ish".

I like it alot wish there was more development tho

If google would just make something this quality i would buy one of their phones already. I was dissapointed in the looks of the pixel 4. They cheaped out on their components to maximize profits and its obvious. I have been mostly happy with the oneplus 7t but it has had some serious quirks too. I have had to reset mine several times and I am dealing with gps issues constantly.

I mostly love my OnePlus 7t. Though it has some issues. That need addressed. Also the lack of customization options is irritating coming from a custom ROM standpoint.

Love my 7T
Can't wait for TWRP to de-google this phone, but outside of that I totally love it. Although, to be fair this is my very first 'smart' phone so I really have nothing to compare it to. I think it's pretty damn great, actually.

Love the phone? hate the lack of development for it ?

I like it but will definitely hold off on next purchase to make sure development is more active. Luckily oxygen os is pretty decent, but still leaves a lot to be desired.

Can you guys tell me, what exactly you lack of for customization features? No offense, just out of curiosity.
I am flashing all of the devices in my household since the HTC desire days, like for the past 5..6..7 years or so... Constantly looking for the optimal ROM for me or my fiance's use case, tinkering with custom kernels, governer settings, blocking wakelocks... Whatsoever.
This is the first device I am happy with while it is just unlocked and rooted witch only a 1 magisk module active. For me android and OSS has come such a long way that all I build in aftermarket is now integrated in stock. Now it is just rooted, debloated and adfree. That's it for me. Although I somehow miss the long nights of flashing and trying out multiple stuff one after another, but also life gets more serious and time consumable so it's ok for me. I guess same for most of the gurus from the old days.. lol
I now can do my hobby more or less for a living, so no need to do it in my free time anymore...
What do you guys think? Is it just my feeling that the development branch somehow radically changed?

I love this phone I installed Omni via adb and never looked back. I really want to get a lineage build on it but the builds I tried to make are very broken.

I agree. Since I left HTC (the M9 being he last one) I have not had the need to flash a custom ROM. Was on a Nokia 8 previously and the vanilla-ish android was good. I only missed the weather clock and mail app from HTC - but they are going down sadly so had to jump ship. Left Nokia as they launched too many phones and were not fixing bugs on their ex-flagships - promised to fixed their camera app but never came for example.
With the 7T I have to say I hardly have any complaint. Customisations are great and the phone is amazing. Adjusting the bokeh blur (live bokeh) would have been great even if it was after taking the photo but nothing else to complain about to be fair.
I do miss the old late nights flashing ROMS though - but like you say, life is different now. I haven't even rooted the Nokia and 7T! haha

Hi, I also came from Poco F1. Amazing phone. Took me a while to get use to OP7T even thought it is better in many ways. I bought it new for 300 pounds and then after a year on October 2019 I found a deal like hell and bought a new OP7T for 360 pounds. Amoled display was the biggest advantage I noticed for the first time. Later I could not even look on the Poco F1 display and before I was astonished by the quality of the LCD panel. I got so much used to the face unlock on F1 cause it was so freaking fast and precise even at complete dark. That and the fast fingerprint scanner is another think I missed for a while. But eventually I get used to the in-display one (but they still could add one more on the back cause it is the perfect place for it). Also that I was so used to the MIUI, the environment was kind of weird for me. But with little bit of tweaking and setting up Nova launcher, which I have been using already for like 8 years anyway, helped a lot. And I even found some tweaks I could not do in MIUI. But like you mentioned, there were so much variety of ROMs and hell I like rooting, flashing and stuff like this. There is also one function I found only in MIUI and which helped me a lot when I came lazy like hell from night shift home and that is that you could mirror your screen to smart TV, lets say play a sitcom or whatever, and minimize it on the device itself so I could be on FB, YT, even play a games and not disturb media streaming to my TV. I wish Oneplus add this feature in future.

How much longer will there be ROM development?

I know it's impossible to know for sure, but do you anticipate that Lineage and other ROMS will continue to be developed for the PIxel 2 series over the next year or two? The ROM section of the board seems decently active right now. I'm considering buying a Pixel 2 XL, but don't want to buy it only to have development stop over the coming months. Definitely want Android 12 when it comes out.

if you seriously want 12 when it comes out FWIW, may be better to get Pixel 3 (which has dev/beta images IIRC) since custom dev only kicks off then when Google opens sourcecode. (FWIW Pixel3 also has multiple Lineage device maintainers.) OTOH if repartition, apparently can hack beta GSI onto Pixel 2, tho the tricky shimming/patching wasn't yet able to do calls last I read https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...oid-12-and-any-gsi-larger-than-2-6gb.4311135/ ). DotOS already claims some version of Monet theming engine FWIW. Best wishes

well, just read https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-rates-on-the-pixel-2xl.4329795/post-85593187 who says be wary of Pixel 3 and 2XL is better, so definitely do your research. And whichever, don't get a Verizon one (as can't unlock bootloader).
