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.

The latest build for the h815 is 2017-11-07. We don't get new builds because of this bug.
Since this bug doesn't matter to me, I made a new build myself.
If you also want to use the latest lineage with newer security updates, BUT (STILL) WITH THIS BUG, you are free to use my build(s).
Downloads
I will upload new builds when I have time until the bug got fixed and we have new official builds.
Bleuzen said:
There are no new official LineageOS builds for the LG G4 since 2017-11-07, because of a bug.
But now we lack on security and general lineage updates.
That's why I decided to make my own builds for my device, h815 ONLY!
I already postet it in the /lineage/ forum, but I think it would be better to also have a post here in the device forum.

Hi Bleuzen, you know about this: https://host.llamasweet.tech/genesixx/LineageOS/h815/
The 20180319 works very good for me and has minimum battery consumtion.
I like it and leave atm oreo.
I do not really understand why, because of a bug, the ROM support has completely stopped.
this bug can not be fixed later? can not the encrypt functionality be disabled?

Any news for lg g4 oreo rom?
Hi there, anyone know where i can get a copy of what was the last official LOS 14.1 for the h815?
would we be able to install a non miui rom on this phone?
Sure. But there isn't any out right now. Development has been slow because many reasons including kernel source not being released fully initially and phone being bricked way too easily with test builds. If you're looking to buy the phone with hopes of flashing a custom ROM, go for the Mi 9T Pro instead. If you already have the phone, be patient for a while.
There's hope from POSP dev, he's actually tried hard building a rom for this device despite getting bricked so many times. Still in progress, be patient.

We need everybody to promote the bricking issue of redmi note 8 pro so that xiaomi will remove the authentication account.it's absurd to keep us blocked from developing.

The N8pro is known to work at the moment after being flashed with that particular ROM, but it really needs to be tested for bugs before it gets promoted as an option.
There are also some other ROMs that derive from PHH's AOSP GSI ROM that could possibly work on the N8pro such as LineageOS 16, Resurrection Remix, and HavocOS
Hi
I am currently using a oneplus 5t with lineageos and would really like to upgrade to my Oneplus 7t. I would like to use Lineageos19 on it, but on the official website, there is only lineageos18. Is there a newer version somewhere available?
I would also consider building it myself, but I dont know how to do that. I looked for guides online, but i couldnt find a recent one.
I have been studying computer science since 2017, so I do know a bit about coding but I havent built a custom rom myself
Thanks for your help.
yes you can try to upgrade OnePlus7T with LineageOS.
Or check out these best android os for PC if LineageOS 19 is not available.
Thats not really an answer to my question. I know I can install lineageos on my phone, I was asking for a guide to build lineageos 19 for it, since the official version is still 18
I have a doubt about Custom ROMs, I have a smartphone moto g40 fusion and right now I think updates are very rare in this smartphone so that's why i am thinking about installing custom rom like LineageOS or EvolutionX in moto g40. But I found last info about custom ROM was posted in Moto g40/60 forum was on May 2022 and it too much in past so will I get updates even if I install it right now. And if possible plz explain how update work in custom rom like how devs update them, like do they update only like LineageOS or specifically moto g40/60 LineageOS every time. thanx in advance .

Yes, you would have to manually flash updates, and it requires quite a bit of expertise to build your own updates. The more popular a build is, the more likely it is that it will continue to be maintained.

Hi. What you think can we have some custom rom in the future?
The recovery tools for OnePlus have not been publicly available since the OnePlus 9 series, so development is going to be limited. If you search the forum, there are a few people working on a custom ROM but it's unknown what level of success will be had.
So far, the current options include a GSI which is generic, and doesn't include many device specific drivers, so not all features will work. The other option is rooting and using a Magisk ROM which can make OxygenOS look more like a Pixel ROM and boost customization. Both of these options require an unlocked bootloader.

Yes it will happen, I hope in a few weeks. We're working on it. We did the LineageOS device trees, and kernel is compiling but it's still missing a few modules that make it non-bootable. For my part, I'm very determined, and will make it happen at all costs.
I'm still using my OnePlus 8 Pro daily despite having received my OnePlus 11 Pro. I absolutely LOVE the 11 hardware-wise (the fact it's a Marble Odyssey I imported from India to France helps) but I can't withstand Oppo's OxygenOS.
I'd really like more devs to join to make it happen.
Regarding MSMTools, I haven't tried to hack it, but as an experienced network hacker, I should have a look to it as I've recently learnt it's using auth now.
