ROM question for long time One Plus owners? - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

I'm really tempted to buy the 5t since returning my pixel 2 xl due to screen issues. Coming from a Nexus 6, I really enjoy the availability of some of the most current Android versions through community built ROMs even when the version of Android was never made available for the phone (i.e. Oreo 8.1 on Nexus 6). Can some of the long time One Plus users comment on the availability of the newest Android versions for One Plus phones even if it requires installing community built ROMs? How soon after the release of the Android version do you generally see ROMs based on those versions available for One Plus phones?

Check Ground Zero ROMs, I'm running Validus based on Oreo 8.0 on my OP5 and it's really awesome with pure Android feeling. I read @martinusbe the head Dev will be getting the OP5T.

The community support is great. There are Oreo builds for even OnePlus One (Released in 2014).

Lineage 14 for Galaxy Nexus

Any chance of getting Lineage 14 for the Galaxy Nexus or is the phone too slow and RAM memory too limited for this version of Android?
Any developer is allowed to build Lineage using the work done on Unlegacy. But this is hard work and everyone here is a volunteer. Unless you know someone who can help, the best you can do right now is running Unlegacy. I don't know if there is any developer who will take a donation from you as a bounty to get if working, but you could message them to ask.
This thread is technically off topic for the development forum
there is a lineage os rom for galaxy s2 i9100, maybe someone could port it to our device, galaxy nexus has similar amount odf ram and cpu compared to s2

There is also Unlegacy 7.1.1 for our GNex (that ROM was, in fact, my introduction to N on ANY hardware). So why am I not running it now? Simple enough - PureNexus 7.1.1 includes both the Pixel Launcher AND Google Assistant (which can be run together or separately; I run them as a tag-team). At some point, I hope to ambush some unsuspecting Pixel or PixelXL owner with my GNEX.

Does the Pixel Launcher work on the Marshmallow based PureNexus ROMs as well?

No idea - it is included WITH the 7.1.x ROMs (both 7.1.0 and 7.1.1). There are ways to add it to 6.x (or even 5.x) - still, I like 7.1.x because it actually feels more *whole* with both PL and Google Assistant in place - which is why I am still hoping to find a Pixel/XL owner to ambush here in VZW turf.

I think that it is better to have threads if people with various problems can help solve the problem.
He will be welcome if it is a thread for that.
If problem solving is possible, he will post for that.lol
Just remain patient.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9250, "maguro") is pretty similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300), which already got LineageOS nightly. They're very similar phones when it comes to features and exterior. Both have 720p AMOLED screens, front-facing and rear-facing cameras, approximation sensors, light meter, earpiece, microphones, headphone jack in exactly the same places. Both feature 1 GB RAM and 16 GB eMMC. Both have HSPA+, but no LTE. They're also just half a year apart concerning their age (December 2011 vs. May 2012). They both feature an ARM Cortex A9 processor, though they utilize different SoCs (GNex = TI OMAP 4460, S3 = Samsung Exynos 4412).
The G-Nex seems to have a larger user base than the G-S3.

Android P for Oneplus 5T

Guys i was wondering about android p update for oneplus 5t, since 2 major android updates are usual norm for the companies and from oreo its an option to support project treble if the phone is being updated to oreo and mandatory if the phone ships with oreo, now, according to this post https://www.phonearena.com/news/Goo...s-In-Android-9.0-Make-It-More-Closed_id101816 its being said that android p will mandate the support of project treble that means the phone should support project treble regardless of being updated to android p or shipping with the same.
Now the problem arise when oneplus couldn't support project treble with oreo update for oneplus 5t due to partitioning issues. If this is the scenario then theoretically oneplus 5t won't be able to taste android p officially (since project treble is mandatory) and will it end up being the case of oneplus 2 wherein it couldn't taste android nougat ?
Correct me if i'm wrong since i am on oneplus one and now, looking to upgrade and this time seems fit as oreo's project treble would revolutionize the custom rom's department also i simply couldn't deviate from oneplus phones, hence thinking about waiting for the successor of oneplus 5t as it would definitely ship with oreo hence project treble goodness or oneplus 5t could be updated to android p hence having support for project treble.
Oneplus one still holds good for me till date and no need to upgrade if it wasn't for project treble (and 64 bit architecture also).
So what are your thoughts on this ?
I think you're getting way ahead of yourself. Yes it's true that 1+ is not supporting project treble for the foreseeable future but there are two important things to understand.
First, having an OEM support project Treble does not imply that device will get faster updates. manufacturers will still control the compiling and rollout of updates and they will always add their own tweaks and skins which will take time. All PT will do is taking care of the Hardware Abstraction Layer.
Secondly, even though OnePlus phone updates track record isn't impeccable, they're upgrading the 3/3t and 5/5t to Oreo in a fairly timely matter so it's very unlikely that they will abandon two phones that would be around one year old without the newest update.
In any case, all upcoming phones from OnePlus will have to support Treble so the issue will be short lived.
I think that if they want to ALL phones can be re-partitioned for treble, it would however involve a complete loss of all information on the phone and effort on the part of the companies.
For most users this would be unacceptable as it would involve backing up ALL data , settings and contacts on the phone. It would be time intensive and require effort on the OEM's so these companies just go the easy route and say it can't be done...
Nice way of making a butt-load of cash off the next version of phone released too...
Just one company to get the ball rolling would definitely hurt all others if they did this though...
Oos does not even have oreo... And the open beta they call oreo its nougat..
don't expect it lol
Seriously, we don't even have Oreo yet and you are worried about P?
An official release of Android P for a Oneplus device, is over a year away, minimum... Most of us won't even have this phone by then, having upgraded to a newer one.
oreo itself is a dream.
I was just ensuring that the device i go for will be future proof. I don't feel the need to upgrade a phone until major advancement in the field, i still don't fell the urge to upgrade until it was for project treble which seems promising, alongside backed by 64 bit architecture, display ratio etc etc.
So maybe a safe side would be to wait for the oneplus 5t successor.

I'm in your boat. Despite what OnePlus 5t owners say, treble is a big deal. Manufacturers have already come out and said that it's going to make it much easier. That's why all phones starting with 8.0 will have dual partitions. If you can wait, then you should wait for 8.0+ released devices, or phones that currently implement dual partitions. Essential phones are already prepared for Treble, but they've got some QC issues to solve with their overall hardware, so I'd stay away from them.

yeah yeah yeah man, you perfectly get me, even i'm skeptical about essential phone despite project treble support, even asus zenfone 4's oreo update brings project treble but not in the way treble's to be implemented.
But the thing bugs me that will 1+5/5T be updated to android p or not since android p will surely bring treble support, because treble + 6 years for LTS for kernels = long live device and probably no need to upgrade phones that frequently.
I guess i'll wait for 1+6 then.
thanks for sharing same mindset bro ! :good:
OnePlus 6 will surely be out b4 Android P, shoot probably even the 6T, and the OP6 and beyond will surely support project treble. Patience is the key.
Who cares about project treble and OxygenOS.. we will always have LineageOS. Chill...

project treble means better lineage os support with minimal to no hacks (shimming) to get things working.
Tell me that doesn't sound good.

OP6 is supposed to be released end of March approximately. I would bet dollars to donuts, if they got their act together, it will have Oreo/Treble. Otherwise, they are falling behind the premier makers that will support treble, like the Pixel 2 does now. See what Samsung does with the S9 in the very near future, not sure if it will have treble. If so, it kind of forces OPs hand to have Treble on it's next flagship. Just a thought anyway.
AS far as 5T....well, Oreo is probably good enough for the life of the phone IMO if they get it legit working.

OP6 got to have treble if they launch it with oreo, else google won't certify their software.

Turns out for me, I don't even have the OP5T anymore because it can't do VoLTE on AT&T.

there are rumors about the fact that oneplus will partner with major US carriers for their next flagship, either way OP6 is gonna be a bomb.

Yeah, that would be awesome. I loved my OP3 and enjoyed the OP5T, but I have to have VoLTE. That is a deal breaker, as I routinely have to tether my work laptop to the phone, so if I am on a conf call with the phone, I lose LTE and it drops down to H+ which is like 3G and slow. Also no HD calling, no WiFi calling.
My Essential doesn't have Wifi Calling either, but it does support VoLTE in AT&T, so I had to return the OP5T and go back to that.

Can any Dev successfully port Android P Beta 4 to OnePlus 3/T

A lot phones are getting unofficial Android P Beta 4 ports
So I was expecting any Dev to work on that and also project Treble support

Why the hurry? If you wait, you will get P stable on 3/t.
Treble may be a no-go.

It's not that I am hurrying or something
It's just that some devices that are getting project Treble support and unofficial ports of Android P are just budget devices and kinda feels weird when a flagship like the OnePlus 3/T is not one of those devices to test the new version of Android
Unofficial Treble support is kinda pointless, dev community will make it work anyways, just like all the years before. That's mainly beneficial for manufacturers as they have limited resources (focusing on newer devices). Treble is there to make upgrading to newer versions easier, so it never made sense for OP3 as it's EOL, only getting security updates from now on.
Wait a few more months and we'll have custom P ROMs all over the place, no need to hurry with half-baked betas.

lineage os

Guys, I will like to install lineage os on my pixel 2 xl. Anyone can share with me their experience with this rom. Thank you
LIneagOS is teh ROM I use on my devices that have bloatware(LG, Samsung, etc.)
Havent used it on my stock google devices, and I cant think of a reason why I would.

I personally would not use it on a Google device that is currently receiving regular monthly updates, but LOS sure is great on older legacy devices that are no longer supported like my Nexus 7 and Nexus 9 tablets. I also note P2XL is not officially supported so you have to take that into consideration as well. On supported devices you usually get updates once a week and they include security updates.

Google is no longer releasing monthly updates for Oreo. Since Pie is trash in my P2XL, I don't get any more monthly updates. I do hope lineage will support P2XL.

Couple of questions

Hey!
So, I am really familiar with the most ROMs out there, since I am part of the XDA and Android community since like SE Xperia X10 Mini Pro and used custom ROMs multiple times and still on a few of my devices I do.
Most of the time I have used the most popular ROMs that people use daily like PureNexus for Nexus 6 and MiniCM7 for X10 Mini Pro, etc, but I am not sure how things are supported on the Pixel 3 line.
I do own a Pixel 3 XL at the moment using the latest stock Google image with December update
What is the current ROM that people using? Is it worth to go to custom already? If yes, what is the best ROM that I should start with now?
Is there any downside to this at the moment? Like some features not available unlike on stock image?
I need opinions/suggestions.
I usually like stable/fast ROMs, not really interested in features.
Thanks!
If you just want stable and fast I would stick with stock. Havoc and Lineage are available, but I do believe active edge is not working on custom roms since Android 10.

Havoc is completely stable and has been my daily driver since the day it was released for both 9 and 10. The only two things I don't have working yet are squeeze and Pixel stand. Both were there in 9, so I'm sure it is just a matter of time. Others have mentioned Android Auto issues, but I don't even have it installed.
Stock + Kirisakura Kernel.
