Why is Oreo taking so long? - LineageOS Questions & Answers

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.

When is a Pie Rom gonna release??

Hey!
Just asking if there are any pie roms for the Cedric. Due to my looking around on the internet I would say that there isn't any. There seems to be for the plus and older models of the Moto G. And is there any roms being developed for this device.
Don't want to offend anyone I know how long or tedious doing this kinda stuff is and appreciate everyone who takes their time for development and what-not just a little curious
Thanks!!
I have seen more than 2 repositories in github with android p, so we have to wait only, there is already a rom based on android 9, but I have not tried it and apparently it needs to correct several errors, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAmYJ2UJk2o

Which ROM ?

Coming from stock 7.0 and November 2017 security patch what ROM would you recommend that in the words of Apple fans 'just works' ?
Is lineage 15.1 still the best option .. .. Am I right in thinking it no longer gets updated ? Is that because all the bugs have been ironed out or because developers have moved onto Pie ?
Are there any negatives I should be aware of. ?
I've used Lineage before, it has given my old Samsung tablet a new lease of life.
Search didn't bring up any results newer than august 2018.
Thanks
You should read the threads and what people think about the ROMs. There are some really good devs out there doing great jobs, but to give you a wrap up would be to much here. I run on Resurrection Remix and am pretty happy, everything works as I need it.
I think best rom is ResurrectionRemix and bootleggers. Those are perfect rom. I use rr but i want to flash bootleggers. But if we can give pie lineageos it will be perfect.
Im cr droid user best rom ever:good:
And LineageOS if you want a basic ROM with quite good battery. I get three days out of mine - not stock levels but close enough for Oreo

A quick read of the RR thread and the last post says development has ended and I quote "Even though I wasn't able to fix many issues I've learnt quite a lot of things."
Well,that puts me off straight away.......many issues ?

I wasnt see problem. His probably write the wrong discussion.
Every os has its ups and downs. Try evrythng and see what works best for u. U might be a battery person or a guy who like customisation or outright performance. Or u just want something stable and light. I would suggest try lineage 16, aosp 6, rr 7 and Crdroid 5.2. One of these should satisfy you.

Given this is my 1 and only phone and I also run a business off it I'm not looking to experiment with different roms.
I just want one that will work as well as stock.....including battery life.......but hopefully have more recent security patches.
I've heard android 9 sucks the life out of batteries so that would mean lineage 16 would not be suitable I guess.

Who told u that
Coz, AFA many users of P2 are concerned, including me, having the best battery out here. If you want to experience try Crdroid, its having so far pretty good SOT and with less or almost no bugs,which can prevent it from becoming a daily driver. :fingers-crossed:

My suggestion would be to go through phases of upgrading;
Install a treble enabled TWRP that should be available in LOS 15 page.
Install LOS 15 for updating treble A only partition (check the whole process for that in LOS 15 page)
Then, install RR 7 of 3rd April for updating vendor partition to latest security patch (later versions have bugs)
Now, you are in a position to have a ROM of your choice, if you want a up-to-date ROM without many issues and minimal customization then opt for LOS 16 or Mokee Pie. If you want plenty of customization with stability then go for CrDroid Pie. If you want a ROM which is up-to-date and have plenty of customization then look for AEX Pie or Havoc 2.4 (13th April version as later versions of Havoc 2.4 are buggy). For rooting, you can use Magisk 19.0 without issues whereas, nano gApps work fine.
You will have to go through all this cycle before resorting to a ROM of your choice. However, when securing lock screen with fingerprint; don't opt for encrypting phone at start. Just select "NO" when asked otherwise phone camera and torch won't work.

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.
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oxygenos-10-0-0-for-the-oneplus-5-and-5t.1231626/
Has anyone seen this update yet on their phone, or know anything about this?
THANKS
OnePlus... They didn't announce anything since their first release of Android 10 in May. In August FAQ OP5 isn't even mentioned anymore.

perhaps following thread helps
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-7-2-7-1-1-ota-t3709265
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

Im on OOS 10, blu_spark kernel and very happy, if there are any bugs (there probably are), I don't notice them...
I had someone give me a reply on another post on XDA that 10.1 is coming OTA to the phone, so I'll hold out for now, I'm in no hurry...
Thanks

You Quote and don't really say anything, what are you saying?
By the way Hydrogen OS is suppose to be 11, as of last week according to this article;
https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_to_introduce_hydrogen_os_11_on_august_10-news-44563.php
So what, Hydrogen is now going to be our new OS? I know this is what they did in China, now the rest of the world too?

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.

Question Android 12 ROMs

Hey there I tried recently the ArrowOS android 12 ROM but the ROM doesn't have the complete material you settings and for some reason my screen keeps kinda flashing sometimes with or without screen deeming option.
Does anyone knows if already ROM was released for our device that have the material you complete and be somewhat stable? ArrowOS in stability was great at least the 2 days I tried it but that lack of personalization made me go back to evolution x. Thanks to any answer in advance
never try beta release
same thing I've experienced, i just went back to arrow 11 since early android 12 has a lot of bugs. I still have my patience waiting for the official release

The kind of comment is really unkind bro and please don't take it bad, without testing the beta versions you won't get the stable builds, and dev will never be able to discover all the bugs without an extensive testing from the most of the involved users ... and after all, that version of Arrow 12 is really stable and smoother than Arrow 11 for me ... missing features and option is not a really big deal after all ...

Question Is anyone working on building/developing any custom ROMs for the OnePlus 9RT?

Creating this thread for devs to post if they are working towards building a ROM
Even I'm waiting for this
Bought the phone hoping that some ROM would be cooked up soon
I'm afraid we will have to longer period of time or some unofficial update only as this phone is not globally launched, dev is very slow.
Yes i feel it was a big mistake to buy this device. No TWRP, No unofficial ROM even No update from OnePlus (Android 12) as agreed.
