Ok look. Here is the deal. The Razer Phone has the a/b partition, and it has the separate vendor partition. Razer states that Q1 2018 will release the update to Oreo 8.1 with official Project Treble support. Since all that is happening so soon, nobody is going to start development on this phone until we get that. Just be patient.

i perfectlly understand ... i will wait and hope for nitrogen os
this phone is the best smoothest phone

Going to be a long wait

I don't think they have definitely said it would have Treble support. I mean, the partitions are there already for it, so it would make sense, but we will wait and see.

If we do get Treble? Nah. It'll be just a couple of minutes flashing a generic image to your device, really.
Though, Razer promised the update by the end of Q1, and that's happening in 9 days, sooo...

I've seen some other devices (not with a similar processor, that is) getting unofficial Treble support. If Razer doesn't do it, with the proper kernel sources we can still try, I guess.

I have been definitely told about 100 times by Razer that 8.1 will have support for Project Treble

Android Oreo 8.0 official for this device?

So yes, I see on TV these a news about Android Oreo that just released this month. Seems interesting, but I had a question:
Is there an official Android Oreo for this device?
Thanks for the advance. Sorry for my bad English.
nope. The last release they did was the final version, maybe some security patches but thats it unfortunantly.
We probably will be getting custom 8.0 roms though

Saw on the Nextbit forum on Reddit that Android O is being discussed so hopes up that they'll decide to update.

oh that would be nice. I read somewhere that they would only do security patches and that 7.1 was the last major update they would do. I hope what i read wasn't true because it would be amazing to have an official 8.0 build

Here is the thread where a Nextbit rep said it's being discussed. It would indeed be great to have an official 8.0 build.

OK, thanks. I need to turn on my VPN first because in Indonesia Reddit is blocked.
Wish I found out about this sooner. I already ported my my device to Lineage OS 14.1 build, and now I await the Lineage OS 15 build with all its new optimizations and features built from Android Oreo.

Hardware support has ended, but software support goes on until February 2018. I think O will be the last manufacturer update we see.

Will they Treblized it on Oreo updates..?
As it'd be the most awesome thing ever happened if this phone get Project Treble enabled...

Don't think so. It will most likely have Treble with a-only partition.
Hopefully not.

Why's that? A/B partitioning has many benefits

Well it may have some benefits for OEMs that try to update their phones as soon as a new android version releases, like OnePlus or Samsung, but it doesn't really have a lot of benefits for Companys like Xiaomi, which have a lot of devices that have to be updated because of the long support cicles, and Xiaomi is focusing more on MIUI anyway. That's why Xiaomi android version updates always take longer than other OEMs.
That's the OEM side - on the custom rom side flashing a-only Treble ROMs is just easier

But the LOS team has said A/B partitions has made it easier for the devs once they learned how to develop for it. Plus how would A/B affect the OEM? They can release A/B updates for supported phones and A partition only updates for phones that don't support them. It's in fact more advantageous for a company like Xiaomi who release a large number of updates to adopt A/B in the future as they can be sure a bad update won't brick the device like what happened with the recent anti rollback protection fiasco

No, check the video bellow at 10:38

Nope Nitrogen doesn't support A/B partition.
LOS has (or is working on) own recovery with native support a/b for LOS's OTA needs.

That's only for devices which natively support A/B. Devices which have only A partition should use TWRP
does mi max 3 A only? or a/b?
to download img which choise?
Now it does...
As of most recent CHN beta FWs, the Mmx3 is being converted from SAR A-only, to A/B non SAR.
Latest China beta is system as root (sar), a layout that was initially used for a/b. But there is still no b slot in mi max 3.

I don't think any development is going on, as the official Oreo is came with stable version and pie is the latest Android version. So pie is the development, Oreo should be no more.

no developer is developing oreo nor will be and how to blame them if you just need to fix the camera (for now) in pie, it is strange to know that only 6 people in total have access to those builds (including me) :fingers-crossed:

[XIaomi] Mi a2 Lite no specific GSI

Hello everyone, I really wanted to tell you my opinion in this section that is the one dedicated more to the development of generic Treble ROMs and also specific for some devices. My question is, why do not even a project embrace Xiaomi Daisy? Many GSIs are not perfectly optimized for the device and unfortunately sometimes you get into various bugs. I would like not a little, to see some project even perhaps addressed to him. But this is my opinion, I hope it can be taken into consideration. As always, thank you all for what you do.
There are Lineage OS roms in development for a2 lite. those will be perfectly optimised.
and once they're released, surely other customized ROMs will follow. so just stay tunedn

There is not a single bug on the newer February Update of Resurrection Remix sir
Here is a link to my stable guide to install the newer RR (AB Version)

any chance of getting lineage os official support

support for lineage os
How are we supposed to know?
LineageOS dev(s) got the 7T Pro. So you'll have to wait until someone with 7T builds it, but then it probably won't be official.

What decryption problem? in OOS 10/11?
TWRP is fully supported on Android 10, so if someone were to build it they would have done it by now

The encryption is still borked? That's also not always the case when I had daisey it was very slow dev wise but sped up over time

1+ implemented the 7T encryption in a nonstandard method. The usual encryption/decryption methods TWRP uses on Android builds doesn't work on the 7T (does on the other models)

But after the encryption fix from qualcomm, will it still be"borked"?
I've been wondering this since they announced it. Just holding onto a tiny bit of hope.

It depends wether what they did was on a hardware level or not. They could be creating some dirty workaround that only 'works for them' like now.
I've given up.... To bad, in enjoy this device for my needs. But bought it cause I figured out was gonna be a developers dream device here. Oh well, may be OOS11 will finally allow TWRP (if the developer even can/will/cares to provide a TWRP update if required. Would like to have the 1+ one to check out the unofficial 17 and 18 lineage builds. Thank you.

My gut feeling is that the solution will end up being a write to the chip to change encryption, wiping currently encrypted data, and a clean install of Android/OOS 11.
You are killing all my optimism lol
