Lineage ROMs on AOSP devices - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
A friend told me that lineage based ROMs are not best for AOSP devices. I personally have never thought it a problem. What are your thoughts? Is there much difference? I don't mean features, I mean in the code.

What does this even mean as los is based on aosp and what are aosp devices? Nexus and pixel you mean? Aren't all Android ROMs even from hardware manufacturers different from Google also using aosp as base? What else should they even use?

Well with Nexus and Pixel devices we have official AOSP sources that are supplied by Google for our devices. Look what happens when you compile (!).
LOS is a godsend for other devices but it has unnecessary HALs for our phone.

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 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.

Mi A1 Camera app port on AOSP Mi6

As dual camera app with all it's features is available on AOSP Android One Would it be possible to Port it on AOSP Mi6 Custom ROMs?
The camera is made by Xiaomi and has Xiaomi UI, it is very similar to the one on Mi6.

Sorry, I misunderstood.
Yes, I assume that this would be possible when A1 kernel sources will be released as well, anyway is a great news
Remember that Mi6 still doesn't have kernel sources, Devs are limited untile they get released.
I also want this!!

8.4 wifi / TM320 - most stable custom firmware?

So the hardware on my 8.4 is still amazing, but Kitkat is getting really really old. I see many custom firmwares available, and most of them say the camera doesn't work.
So first of all, which custom ROMs better than Kitkat are stable enough to be daily drivers? And second, do any of them have the cameras working?
Thanks!

I think you'll find it's just the versions based on Nougat that the camera doesn't work on.

Hmm I see. Maybe I was looking at Marshmallow threads in which people were also talking about Nougat builds.
Any recommendations?
No reply I see...
Did you try some different firmwares? I am also looking for a good working firmware. Can you perhaps share which one works good for every day use?
Thx in advance!
Just give any you like the look of a go. I like Lineage and 14.1 is available for the SM-T320 thanks to the dedication of members here. I can't imagine being on KitKat in 2018. Even LOS 14.1 (Nougat) is a bit of a throwback these days although it remains a popular version.
Hello.
I also bought a used t320 because the Hardware is better than modern lowcost tablets and 1 h after delivery it was already rooted and twrp ed. ?
I choose vanilla unicorns which is based in Marshmallow 6.0.1 . I am quite happy with it so far.? Cameras working , pretty mich all is running fine. I found no bugs so far.

Port roms from OnePlus 5 to OnePlus 5t?

How hard would it be to port roms between the two? If it is not to hard how would you go about doing this?
No one? They have extremely similar hardware, wouldn't it be similar to the onplue 3/3t unified roms?
From everything I have read there are to many differences between the two. So more then likely you won't see any ports but I could be wrong.
Just throwing this out there, but recently seen a Lineage build being said to boot on our 5T, by editing the buildprop accordingly.
This may be different of course, given that's Lineage and not OOS, though of relevance I hope...
Can no one provide any input?

Some of the kernels and some ROMs are unified now (to a degree). This doesn't affect us much anyway.

Question Pixel 6 pro best rom?

hello I have a request, what is the best rom for pixel 6 pro which has no google services but has all the unique features of pixel from the original rom ? Best regards

Can't have all unique features from a Pixel without any Google Services.
Or maybe microG is enough ?

No. All the Pixel features are tied to the proprietary versions of Gapps, not even MicroG will achieve what you're looking for, it's worth have no Pixel features yet no Gapps at the same time, or Pixel features, but have most of the Gapps, there's no other combination of those 2 is possible.
What features will I lose by installing a custom rom?
Pretty much everything that makes a Pixel a Pixel. Even roms that try to preserve features feel kind of half-assed or have security-minded priorities that prevent Google functions altogether.
Stick with stock.

Not everything. The key features that make a pixel a pixel are;
- unlocked bootloader,
- upstream (AOSP) support.

ScorpionRom not available on Pixel 6 pro so it should not be listed in the subject line
Actually I know of a Feb build of Scorpion Rom that exists for P6P. If you're in the right TG groups you'll trip over many things. I'm not sure if it's official or not. It's been a minute since I saw the link
ProtonAOSP and Kirisakura Kernal are the fastest I've ever felt a phone no joke.
Even with a bunch of magisk modules AND Xposed modules, usually any android phone I've customized to this points starts at least micro jittering.
