Is it possible to install security updates without upgrading to Nougat (currently on 6.0.1)? Before anyone suggests just upgrading to Nougat, I have some Xposed modules that are only stable in M and they are very important to my workflow.
Thanks

Simple answer, possibly, if you use a custom ROM that's on andoid 6 it might merge in the security fixes. But other than that, no.
Answer to your question would be sultanxda rom for op3 which is regularly updated but if you want to remain on oxygen os then I don't think it's possible
I am also thinking about this option too, lots of phone company only have update their ROM for 1 year, that makes every android cell phone is not trustful after 1 year.

I do, I'm actually on Resurrection Remix but they moved to N quite a few patches ago. Are security updates something only the ROM dev's can include in their patches or is there a zip or apk I can flash in recovery?

Not that I'm aware of. It might be theoretically possible, but there's no way I know of to do it.
You can update your kernel to a custom version including further security fixes and update all your applications via Google Play, but there are some components of the ROM you can never update without a newer OS.
With time the small security holes will escalate to major bugs as cyber criminals take advantage of those to steal private data.
Long story short, I'm looking for the most stable and refined custom ROM for the MZP. I'm currently using Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 and while everything is working fine, it isn't really that refined. As it is ported from what I guess is the Google Pixel, the OS thinks that the device is a Google Pixel. For example, when I set up the device, it shows the banner "Finish setting up your Pixel". Also, when I register my fingerprint to unlock the device, the setup shows to use the index finger and touch the sensor located on the rear of the device (like the Pixel's). Charging with the phone powered off is also bugged, as it shows nothing but "Charging ??/100". I know these may seem like small things, but I'm a person with extreme attention to detail (almost borderline OCD) and things like these just bug the hell out of me, even though it isn't the devs fault at all (mad respect to Alberto).
Basically, I want a custom ROM that is MADE for the device, not ported. If you guys get what I mean. Polished is the word, I guess.
Seeing as LineageOS 14.1 is officially supported, do these cosmetic flaws exist? Can any LOS users confirm this? I apologize for bugging this sub with my stupid questions, I just want to settle with my phone once and for all.
Thank you to all for your help!

Hi there,
None of the cosmetic flaws you said exist on the official LineageOS 14.1 ROM. I'm using it for several months now and it is certainly the most polished ROM created for this device.
By the way, I've tested weeks ago Alberto97's AOSP 8.1 and it was a weak experience. It wasn't optimized as I expected, some of the animations were jerky and I noticed multiple bugs.
I definitely recommend using LineageOS 14.1 ROM if you want a good experience. Also, I recommend using 7.1 ROMs instead of 8.0's/8.1's. They are way more stable and optimized.
If you have any question, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, that's bad.
You should post a message regarding this issue on the Official Lineage 14.1 topic to make the developper aware. I think that's not hard to make the bootloader compatible, it should be some parameters to change

I contacted the maintainer and he said it's not as simple as that, as there may be incompatibilities with a bootloader from a different Android version. We're messaging each other for the past few days and he sent me a test build. The flash succeeded, though we are unable to make it boot up.

I asked him yesterday but he said that it's against rules to ask for ETAs (even when I only asked him if it would come out, I didn't ask when :/)
Read the thread, one user already posted his email address here, though don't even try to ask him stuff like that again as surely he will link that to me.

The dev (mccreary) just fixed the issue and official LineageOS 14.1 will now be compatible for Oreo bootloaders on the next build (May 2).
I have sideloaded the Oreo OTA on stock firmware.
Now i want to go back using LineageOS 14.1, anyway to do it?

Lineage 14.1 is Nougat based and it will not flash as it will display bootloader error while flashing in twrp. Wait for Lineage 15 or as djdelarosa25 said [/COLOR]

Is there any news for Lineage 15? I am kinda use to Oreo so I am looking for an Oreo ROM. I like AOSP no doubt but I'd also like to try a ROM that is build from scratch for MZP only.

I already asked him if it was in the works and he said don't ask for ETAs. I asked him again today and told him I wasn't asking for a date, just a confirmation if LOS 15 is in the works. We'll see what he says.
EDIT: So it counts as an ETA then. He said we'll just see it come out (so I guess it is in the works). But I wouldn't worry that much, the dev works really fast.
and yeah, I like a ROM that was made for the MZP as well. As much as I like Alberto's ROM, a ROM built from scratch > a port (though LOS 14.1 is Alberto's work as well). It's a pity he quit development of it.
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.

Consider the following:
The J6 has treble, which in theory should make everything easier, right? I mean, that's the whole point of treble.
For better or for worse, GSI's are not made for a specific device. That's why the "G" stands for "Generic". This could be bad because there might be something in Samsung phones that make some stuff not work or something in Xiaomi phones, etc...
So the developers of these GSI's have to rely on people providing logs and stuff to attempt to fix stuff on devices they don't own. Either that, or a J6 user needs to learn how to fix stuff on their own (it is faster when you have the device).
So to answer your question, a "stable, daily driver" AOSP GSI will probably exist in due time if the developer keeps working and the community keeps helping in any way they can like provide detailed logs and information to try to fix stuff for the J6

Sorry boys. I was working on it but I saw Jaguar Rom and decided that was about as good as it was gonna get. I own a company and it would have taken me an eternity to do it on my own with what little free time I have to dedicate to it. Jaguar does a fantastic job of keeping your data safe. Just download the vanilla version without Google crap. Install Aurora store if you need to restore any apps you got from Google. I've been using it as my DD now for a few months and I have to say, it's legit. I'm not gonna list my credentials or anything as most people on XDA know me by now, but I would say that if you think I'm wrong, please download the rom and try to find a problem that Graphene would fix. Hell they even let you relock your bootloader on Jaguar. The phone can die and your alarm will still go off if there is enough battery to start it and sound the alarm. The dev ( @optimumpro ) is super cool and was very helpful with some of the things I needed help de-goggle-fying. I highly recommend it. I'm sorry if I got anyone's hopes up. I will be asking for the thread to be closed now as I have no intentions on developing this rom as I feel it's redundant.

Where to download Jaguar for 7T?
Another rom similar to grapheneos available for op7t is divestos.org which is based on lineageos but implements several privacy and security measures and allows you to re-lock the bootloader
Agree about Divest OS, but since OP discussed Jaguar rom which is brand new, I wanted more details about Jaguar

I am the developer for Jaguar rom. Unfortunately, it is not available for Oneplus 7 series, although, I can build one for 7s, if there is sufficient interest.
Also, Jaguar for Oneplus 5, 6 , 8s and 9s has been available for many years and certainly long before DivestOS and GrapheneOS ever appeared. Just look at my profile: you don't get 14700+ 'thank yous' in a year or two. (not bragging, but rather stating the fact).
Sure, OP was discussing Jaguar of op7t which doesn't exist. That's why I was asking about it. Besides e OS, LOS18 with microg, DivestOS (fork of LOS19), yaap vanilla, flamingo vanilla, op7t does not have any other degoogled rom

I have built a trial version of Jaguar for Oneplus 7T. Please test it, since my phone is Oneplus 8.
OOS-11 (not 12) is required in both slots. Installation is the same as Lineage. Don't forget factory reset before the first boot.
Rom: Here
Recovery: Here
Kernel Source: Here
May or may not boot, but even if you boot, submit a logcat (let it run for a few minutes).
