Development - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

I'm just curious why ROM development for this device is so limited. Most other OP devices have a very large and active amount of developers. What is different about the 7T?
This is not a bash, just curious.

Devs call the OnePlus 7T a "drama queen" due to some really weird bugs.
I'm really missing ROMs like "Resurrection Remix" and "Havoc OS". Literally just been using OOS even though on all my previous OnePlus devices I always had some custom ROM or the other as my daily driver.

The 7T has:
OmniROM
MSM Extended
AOSIP
Tresk
But there are issues with flashing and until they get TWRP working entirely (close, as a Chinese developer made great strides in decryption) there won't be a ton of ROMS for it, unfortunately. But I consider there to be enough to offer a good custom ROM experience, as there are a few really nice ones available.

Are these same issues not present on the OP7T PRO? It seems to have at least a few more ROMs.

what are the problems with flashing? you can also flash the custom roms that are available for the op7t by fastbootd (not fastboot) (or you can use the chinese twrp version that works for a custom rom to 99% (except fastbootd that is what the twrp wants, at least for me not working )

TWRP cannot mount system and therefor cannot flash the normal way. Have to use fastbootd and be very careful. That Chinese verison is interesting but it would be better to have an open source solution at hand.

Literally yes. But display padding, alert slider and the FP doesn't work. Short: it's not worth to try.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. I guess it's an option, just not a very good one.

That is the reason for not a ton of roms.but I suspect as soon as twrp is working roms will roll in

but there is no twrp that flashing is just as good via fastbootd
and who knows if the 7t and 7t pro will ever get twrp

They will. Chinese TWRP works pretty good. Only decryption with OOS doesn't work.

No more roms from xioami.eu for RN8 Pro.

Bad notice for our RN8 Pro. No more roms from xioami.eu for the RN8 pro for lots of brick by flashing magisk, twrp or modules.

Well there not doing it right because my phone's working mint with custom recovery and root. They jumped ship to soon.
Yeah sad news.
It's starting to look development will be limited as always with mediatek devices.
I'm satisfied with root and stable EU 10.4.5 except for the Google dialer without call recording.
But I'm not even sure if it's safe to update to latest stable 11 global EU. Snapdragon would have been the safer choice.

I agree. I m on stable from xiaomi.eu with magisk and twrp working perfect. The problem is android 10 in dev rom. No recovery with android Q suport for rn8 pro. I remember lots of brick in rn5 pro (SD) with rollback. And all was solved in a few weeks. Very disappointed with xiaomi.eu.

Yah the problem is there updating the hell out if this device and it's getting more & more updates. It's hard to build a development on something that's constantly changing. Right now I'm looking into cooking up a custom kernel for the RN8 pro. It needs that right now for the audio mods like viper and LKT and kernel audiator because you can't manipulate the parameters of the audio. Right now I'm happy with the stock rom it works good and it's stable. I've never built a kernel so I foresee a brick coming my way. Lol

So if it's true it was only because of Android 10, they should have just freezed development for that. Not stable 9, they removed those downloads too.
Does anyone know safe procedure to update rooted 9.4.5 EU global (not xiaomi.eu) to 11.0.1.0 ? Is it worth it anyway?

I'm very interested in trying. I have done a lot of research and downloaded Android ndk and Android studio. Prob is I run windows 10 pro and it seems developing is a lot easier with ubuntu fedora. I have a laptop modified with ubuntu already established. Haha my gf gets mad as hell when I brick phones and I just laugh and say I'll get it. Unfortunately my back up my mi mix 3 I'm waiting for my screen replacement to come in. Might be using the old modded to death lg g3.
Ah, bad news indeed. I hope it'll quickly resolved. G90T is such promising SoC
One question, is source code still broken? No new news from xiaomi? Maybe xiaomi just taking their time to give us Android 10 codes instead short lived PIE codes. Unfortunatelly, I can't help because zero experiences in programming

I've got twrp and magisk root running.
Normally I'd just flash full zip and flash magisk, wipe cache and reboot.
I'm just wondering if someone upgraded to 11 rooted and what procedure.
How's 11 anyway compared to 10?

I was in miui 11 stock (oficial upgrade) , flashed twrp, installed miui 11 stable xiaomi.eu and root. I bricked the phone flashing dev rom android 10. I think android 9 roms are safe to flash anything. The problem is in android 10 roms. Be careful.
I use xiaomi.eu on my begonia.
Fast and very very low battery drain - better than official global rom from xiaomi.
its sad about end of develop this soft. Only android 10 have problem with flash and do brick.

Lineage os 17.1 for oneplus 7t ????

Guys oneplus 7t is great device to own and given oneplus's support for devlopers is also great but still why the devlopment is slow compared to oneplus 7 ,7pro & 7t pro.
I don't think the LOS developers will build / support for any device without a working TWRP, which includes 7T / Pro.
So it's up to people on their hobby with the device to build an unofficial LineageOS.
If I'm not mistaken, Paranoid Android will come soon and support 7T / Pro, not sure when though.
Sent from my OnePlus7TPro using XDA Labs
There's no TWRP working with all of the features for out of the box Android 10 devices, which is what the 7T came with.

OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro have an official TWRP AND PAGES of custom ROMS and kernels. Why not 7T?

Because TWRP is not fully functional now.
But building ROM for devices without TWRP is not any harder, so I don't know.
There are most likely other ROMs in telegram, treskmod for example. And most kernels are unified now, if they work for 7 Pro they work for 7T/Pro.

Those phones shipped with Android Pie I believe. So that's probably why. The problem is with phones that ship with Android 10

This is absolutely the case on this one. There's a difference between running A10 and being shipped with A10. It's all good though.
There is still not an official build for the 7t can we use the build for 7t pro and flash it ?
And I am wondering a lot of projects support the 7t pro but not 7t

I tried to use 7TPro LOS builds (and other custom roms include AOSP roms) at my 7T several times . Simply it is working but with some problems . For example camera is not working . FOD working but Fingerprint image position is wrong due to resolution differences between the models I guess . I am not developer but I am thinking that these (minor) problems can fix easily if someone who knows how to fix them .
Try only to flash rom for "hotdogb" instead of others. Tryout the Xtended XR rom stock android with tons of customisation and rock stable Minor bugs exists in launcher. That can be overcomed by any thirdparty launcher

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.

TWRP is fully supported on Android 10, so if someone were to build it they would have done it by now

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)

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

GSI on MI10T ?

Hello,
Has anyone tried installing a GSI rom on MI10T?
I'm interested in getting feedback and if it works for you.
Thanks
Tried and failed. Don't know what I did wrong and I'm pretty new to this stuff so don't have that much experience. I'm sure it's possible.
TWRP for this phone doesn't support installing GSI, I bricked my phone because of it
If you tried ab that's probably why you failed - ab has different partition layout than aonly which is this device... Somebody should try aonly gsi and check...
Can you install system gsi? Because there is only a super partition in TWRP.

Hi guys! Any news?

Question Pen on Custom ROMs?

Do you guys think it will be possible to support the pen on custom ROMs? How does that work normally, is it some drivers that need to be installed, or would functionality be at a very low level such that with custom ROMs it wouldn't be possible or...?
By custom ROMs I mean Pixel Experience etc, not the Xiaomi EU MIUI crap.
There isnt any custom ROM for this device
The smart pen nor keyboard cover work with Treble GSI ROMs. The smart pen can be paired to a tablet running GSI, but no response from the tablet's display when using the pen. I'm guessing there is something in the MIUI ROMs for this tablet that allow allow the tablet and pen to work together (may be in all MIUI ROMS).
Hi, it's possible
I was wondering the same thing as well...

No, the pen doesn't work on PE11 GSI or any other GSIs I tried. It's a real shame. Still for me PE11 is much better than MIUI.
