Ive owned some great devices for cyanogenmod/lineageos, and ive owned some terrible ones. Nexus phone ans oneplus have been the absolute best - recently the LG G6 (US997 version) has been terrible.
Looking at devices out now - the only phones that have official support for 15.1 that are new(ish) are:
Oneplus devices
nexus devices
xiaomi mi 5, 5s and 5 plus
LeEco Lepro3
Is that right, only those phones?
Which devices are officially supported? Especially interested in cheaper ones - I wish something like the moto E4 was supported better, because imo for most - something like that is more than enough.

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
I also came to this LineageOS forum in hopes of finding a specific thread of newly supported devices.
Because the list on the official wiki https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ seems to be outdated by this article from April 26th: https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-15-1-android-8-1-oreo/.
But since that's an article, it's also probably outdated.
So is the community updating anywhere what new phones they got LOS to run on?

I recently shifted from the great XDA beloved OnePlus One and I'm shocked by the lack of the development with Z2, the device is awesome, in terms of specs and it shoud deserve more XDA love!
CM ROMs available in Chinese forums
There are CM ROMs available in official Chinese forum (bbs.zuk.cn)
CM13: bbs.zuk.cn/z2/t135170/
Download: pan.baidu.com/s/1qYlKh5a Verification Code: kd5f
CM14: bbs.zuk.cn/z2/t176429/
Download: pan.baidu.com/s/1skYQSm5 Verification Code: e95q
Google Translate may help you understand what they say.
The Baidu NetDrive would require a code as provided above when you access the file.
The ROMs are unofficial versions but they work fine.
Four promotional software exist in the ROM.

/system/app/AppCenter
/system/app/Movie2345
/system/app/Weather2345
The removal of these injected apps is recommended before use.

I own a OnePlus One and i was thinking about buy it as well but for a familiar, not for me and It's clearly that this device is far away from the OPO development, and it surprised me because it's a great device.
Just curious, and sorry for the little off-topic: how is it in terms of performance, camera and screen compared to the OPO?
Do you know if there are any update about this? I'm thinking about buy it if we can get official CM14.1 builds in some near future.
Basically I'm interested in buying it only if there are a fully functional custom rom like CM, slim or omni.

I've also been keeping tabs on the device. Check www.zukfans.eu for an overview of available roms and a more active device forum.

Yeah i saw that at least in that forum there is much more activity, but even with that the development is not as good as i would like to see. Maybe I'm quite exigent with this but i think this device has a really good potential since his source code was published some few months ago and i don't see big results for now.
For example, the only official builds from a recognized development group i saw was from Mokee. That doesn't need to mean the development is bad but also I'm seeing some people complaining about some minor issues in unofficial builds like CM13.

I see what you mean though don't agree with. If you talk of chinese cm13 then yes.
Just take the latest release from fedor and you'll be good. I am myself crafting a rom from the different guys release.
Right now hardcore devs (meaning doing that full time) are on cm14.1 port, which is already running but having some issues.
CM 13 is mostly stable, in the coming weeks you should have some even better releases coming out.
I'm not directing this at the great developers here, but I'm more confused or wondering what's up ? This phone is Google's flagship stock Nexus device, THE developer phone. The Pixel 2 was released two months ago, and there's not one custom ROM yet. I find that shocking and asking what happened ?
I've owned most Nexus phones in the past, and by two months in there'd be a ton of ROM's available.
Again I'm not trying to be an ass asking this question I'm not looking for ETA I'm more very confused or am I missing something why development doesn't seem to be happening like in past Nexus phones?
Or is there another forum outside of XDA these ROM's are on that I'm not aware of ???
A few roms are coming to this phone. It's just slower because of the dual partition stuff. Think DU and Pure Nexus are planned.
You must also remember the pricetag on this device, not everyone is going to jump on this device right away, but like the above comment said, there are ROMs in the works.
A lot of devs weren't building because we didn't have a stable TWRP.
Looks like one just dropped
All of what's already been said here.. plus.. this phone is so darn stable and amazing bone stock that it's unbelievable. I have had every single Nexus/pixel and HTC device since I don't know when and there was always some reason why you badly needed root and a custom rom.... But with this... It's so good I haven't even unlocked the bootloader yet! Kudos to Google for sure!
OnePlus has screwed it up for everyone when it comes to custom ROMs, the phone is half the price of top flagships and just as good so thats where most of your development is
Agreed that OnePlus has sucked away a lot of developers, if not the majority of them. OnePlus 5 / 5t is almost half the price of the Pixel 2 XL, plus it seems even easier to developer for. I mean go in the OnePlus 5t forum and look at the development, phone hasn't been out one month yet, and it has a bunch of ROM's and Kernels.
But I prefer the direct from Google updates and long term support by Google, plus the extra features on the Pixel 2 over the OPO, and am happy with my purchase, but I am concerned that there is not even one single ROM released for the Pixel 2 after two months.

Good find, looking forward to try this out when it's ready.

The list of officially supported devices is staggering and my choices to have it on a phone is even more limited. What makes this even harder is the Nexus line up of phones has been discontinued as far as I can tell so getting my hands on one to begin with will be a challenge in of itself.
I do notice the Nexus 5x is not on the list but would I be limited in any way if I want Nethunter on the phone?
What else should I pay attention for when looking on the market for a nethunter phone.

Please ask in the general section of the forum. Also you will find an older nethunter thread in this section here

Despite my account being a bit old I visit this forum a handful of times so I'm sorry for the improper posting. I'll report my thread to have it moved.
I got my answer from somewhere else. So aparently there is much more supported devices found here. Definitely more to work with.
https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/wiki
Is there any other hardware details or specs I should look for when shopping for a new phone? Specifically for the purposes of Nethunter.
Hey guys,
Why there is such partiality between popular and top rated smart phones and normal budget oriented smartphone?? I have my OPPO a37f smartphone. And I also want to flash custom rom for it but there is such 2-3 option online found while searching for it.
I want lineage OS for my OPPO A37f.
Please help me out guys..
Thank you
In advance

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to take a look at the following thread and, if needed, post your question within it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3631737
I do see some posts regarding other members trying to get an Unofficial LineageOS developed but, nothing has been released yet. Just be patient... Remember that, the greater the need/want, the greater the chances for someone to release it.
Good Luck!

Hi there,
I could not find any straight answer for this question - will there be more 15.1 ROMs for other devices as the developers finish building them or are those discontinued?
Right now there is just a couple of devices with support for 15.1.
I am particularly looking forward for Nexus 4 (mako) builds.
That's because you're looking for an answer that doesn't exist yet.
There will be more releases for more devices, but you'll have to be patient. There is a lot to consider when bringing old devices newer ROM versions. It's not as simple as a yes or no.
It's great that you're looking forward to more device support, but it'll be announced when they know the answer and are ready to share it. Not before.
There are 170 devices supported by the previous version of Lineage. They didn't all happen on the same day.
