Is it well known that omnirom is providing weekly OTA updates for moto g power? It isnt listed as so on their website but they are. Most of the up to date info for moto g power is available via telegram groups.
That's a shame. I stopped being involved in XDA when everyone went to telegram. Can't stand telegram. Great chat platform.. terrible for development but everybody loves it

I just read an article about oneplus won't implement project treble to their device and wondering what Razer will do.
Interesting!
So they've gotten smart finally on combatting the fragmentation of versions I bet.
This would be a difficult undertaking, brands/carriers "lose" a certain degree of control. That's probably why most won't do it. That's why MS had such a hard time getting carriers to stock their phones. Carriers didn't want users to have so much control. The prime example of this is anti-root policies.
I sent an e-mail to Razer support about this (I was interested too), unfortunately the reply wasn't very informative:
Welcome to Razer support!
I am afraid to inform you that at this moment I have no information regarding an implementation of Project Treble on Razer Phone!
I invite you to follow us on our Facebook and Twitter and to subscribe to our Newsletter to be always up to date with the latest news from Razer!

We'll have to wait and see I suppose.
I wasn't sure how to send questions to the official LineageOS people, so guess I post here and hope it makes its way over.
I have many old devices and no new ones, these include some that are no longer supported by LineageOS (Samsug Galaxy Tab 2.0 7", "Tate" Kindle, LG G3 "985" ...)
My question is this: I used to do builds for projects (such as the IRIX Nekoware project), and would consider doing it for these but need to make sure I don't get in over my head too much, as IRIX is "the way things were done in 1998" and Android definitely isn't. It would help if there were a Wiki page or similar with notes on why support was dropped so I can figure out if it is practical for me to try and resurrect them.
I'm following several devices for some time now. Lack if support has many reasons. Most of them are personal reasons. At the moment we see a generation change in LOS team. The new people have new devices. Would be fine to have a old school guy like you in that team. This thread is not the right place for getting into contact. Sorry.

I have never built a ROM before myself but, Devices that are no longer maintained by the Lineage Team (that actually had Official LineageOS Builds released) are still kept in places like Github as well as the Device information within their Official Wiki page.
For example, you had mentioned interest for the LG G3 VS985 device. The following is the device information page for this device...
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/vs985
The following is the information regarding the instructions for individuals who are looking to work on their own builds...
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/vs985/build
The following is the LineageOS Github page for that specific device.
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_lge_vs985
With that clarified for you...
Also keep in mind that when the LineageOS Team updates various areas for devices that ALSO applies to one, that's no longer maintained, it also gets applied to that device because of those being shared with other applicable devices but, if an update that ONLY applies to a device, that's no longer maintained, it will probably not be bothered with (though, I can't state this specific item 100%).
I hope that this was helpful and I do wish you the best of luck!

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
I figured that, but they have occasional notes in the updates about why support is being dropped, and if it is some variant of "we can't get drivers anymore" or "new version of Android will not work with hardware X without major rewrite" I figure it's probably outside of my league.
If it's dropped just because the former maintainer was too busy that's another kettle of fish and much more manageable.
I guess it's either the IRC or Reddit to get in touch with them based on their site info. For some reason I guess I just have trouble considering Reddit as a platform for anything serious.

From what I understand, a device is dropped, typically, because of 1 of the following reasons...
1) There's a limited number of Maintainers and they get stretched very thin as to keeping up with the amount to devices they maintain.
2) This is the more likely reason... The Maintainers must possess the actual device in order to ensure the stability and such for the devices they maintain. If a Maintainer no longer possesses that device, they are no longer able to maintain it and the device has to be dropped.
I've seen, on a few occasions, where a device is added back again but, this doesn't happen that often.
Good Luck in your pursuit to develop!

Mokee is longest of the LOS, have the age of development like CM, is AOSP extremely clean, if you have an Galaxy S4 you can receive the March 2020 Security Patch in MM, N or Pie
I'm really excited to use Android 12, but Motorola doesn't seem to care. I have heard the news that Moto phones will receive Android 12 in Feb, but there isn't any timeline.
Do you guys have any idea?

Really the only thing you can do is wait.
You can see which models are getting updates on the Moto update tracker.
Just search by codename (hanoip) or Model # (XT2135)

G60 got Android 12 in India last week.
Seems slower now. There are a few bugs around status bar. May be it needs a factory reset.
Overall it is alright.
