So I searched some things and hopefully this will clear your doubts.
I'll be going through every popular ROM for this device.
Its been 4 months since OmniROM Oreo build and I truly believe that there will not be any more of OmniROM for the Find7 as there has been no changes in the repo. I am thankful for all the support the devs provided for this device for past 2-3 years. This and Nameless were two ROMs that supported LVMs.
I am also positive that NamelessROM is dead as well (even though the dev said he's working on it 30 weeks ago https://plus.google.com/+AlexanderMartinz/posts/N1Fmfc25iks there has been no changes in its source since a year approximately. Also, he's a bit secretive when asked to disclose his progress of ROMs.
AICP devs have already deleted all the Find7 ROM zip files from their website (http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=find7). No changes in the source after Dec 2017 either (https://github.com/AICP/device_oppo_find7).
ResurrectionRemix ROM is dead for Find7 as well. They are busy making 8.1 ROMs for OP5T.
MokeeROM and LineageOS 14.1 are still active for 7.1.2. As we all know, none of them support LVM/Unified storage.
Our only hope LineageOS 15.1, is still in development. I've seen its changlog and they seem to be working on it.
(I'm referring to the device specific changlogs - https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_oppo_msm8974 and https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_oppo_common.
crDroid will make a build only after LineageOS 15.1 is released. As of now they've put the device into "dropped" categories (https://plus.google.com/108033353751385883417/posts/V1MAec8qN1D).
Oppo Find 7
If I'm being honest, I've been running 2.1.5 color os and its been working fine for the past 3 years. I've tried custom roms but they just don't tend to work whether that's with the LVM or other features.
The phone itself is still an amazing phone even in 2018 especially the camera! :good:
I mean tell me one thing this phone cannot do?
The main reason why I personally think they have stopped giving support to mobile phones is because of the money that they are spending on advertisement especially in India where the entire Indian cricket team has OPPO labelled on their jersey. But, also the amount of advertising money they have spent to make the brand more aware in ASIA/Europe.
As for the OPPO Find 7 in my opinion is still one of the flagship device on the market.
I am looking for a new rom and a new battery but I can't find something. Also the oppo Europe community has been deleted from website..
still okay

Rest In Peace Oppo Find 7 - March 2014-2018
Now if you're like me and want to buy a device that has a great development community, don't ever buy Oppo again. The company demonstrated many innovative solutions and features in their older devices such as Find series and the N series but as of now they're completely against any third party development for their devices. They don't release sources like they used to (especially camera blobs) and want to focus on copying other brands.

Thank you very much for your comprehensive interesting summary. I did not know Oppo switched to consumer unfriendly mode. I am going to rethink buying an OP 5. Although I have to admit a Find 7a with omni 7.1.2. is running just fine, maybe another one or two years.

AOKP is still on, but nougat http://aokp.co/devices/find7
Is this AOKP work on Find 7a or its only for 7? Also are there any instructions on how to install it? Now i have 2.1.5i ColorOs with Supersu root installed. Can i have magisk instead?
Oppo cut off all international activities and projects because OnePlus now handles it for them. They know that Oppo and ColorOS can't appeal to the international market, which is why OnePlus has the whole stock android thing (and why OnePlus isn't very active in China. Oppo handles that side of the market).
I'm still hoping on Lineage btw.
My telephone rest here in front of me....
Still have Omnirom 6 with stock camera and other stuff....works like a champ!
But now i have a Mi NOte 3 to play.....still, Oppo was my best phone ever!

That doesn't mean much either. My Nexus hasn't seen any device specific change for a while now, still I'm confident that development is still going on.
I looked on Gerrit and Find7 has been promoted to 15.1, so fingers crossed the next build (tmr) is Oreo.

temp fix if you can't flash any LOS15.1 based rom:
in file : META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
remove the first a few lines started with ASSERT. They are checking if the zip is actually for the device. but the twrp we have for Chinese unified partition can't handle the check properly. just remove the check, and you will have oreo 8.1.

Hello, I am a newbie user of installation roms for android, I suddenly became interested in the Google Pixel cell phones and the android 9.0 system. I do not have much condition to buy the Google Pixel cell phone I decide to install rom 9.0 and the first one I researched in the browser I found "LineageOS" 9.0 for the device "Moto G 2nd Titan". The question is the following I would like to know if you are going to someday update this rom for LineageOS v16.0 that I found more fluid in other devices that are compatible with it, and for my device, and that sometimes the system stops responding , That's it. Thanks for listening.

It is not polite to ask for updates of an unofficial ROM. But you can follow the discussion there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/orig-development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3833953
If you want stability and updates, stay with official lineageOS. The maintainer is quite active.

You have to decide between stability and pie features. For Google assistant flash a GApps package.

Hey, can i use lineageos on my 20x?
The only way is if you're running Android 9, have it rooted (can't root this phone running Android version above 9, maybe 9.1) and there's a LineageOS rom built for the 20x. I don't think there was ever a rom built, so pretty sure you can't unless you build it.
two options: based on emui 9 unlock bootloader via ministryofsolutions and then either -
A) install openkirin custom rom, will work for sure but still stuck on android 10
B) check and see if any GSI rom might work, potentially issues or might not boot at all, but goes up to android 11/12
i plan to replace my battery in a few months, together with a new back casing to get rid of some scratches. with that, i also plan to try and unlock my BL and play around with GSI roms. with a bit of luck, one of them might boot and work android 11/12, here we come?! hahaha
hello I want to run gsi android 10 or 11 on android 8, but they don't start me, I would like to know what I should take into account. Thank you

In stock ROM, install the Treble Info app (Link here) and check which version is right for your device (I guess you should use A-only). Maybe there is some page referring to this device here on XDA.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here but I installed the PixelExperience GSI on one phone and noticed that I had to have it on a particular Android version before I could get it to boot. I would like to go ahead and use these same kinds of GSI images on a Pixel 3 and Pixel 5a that I have. How can I determine what base to have on there before installing? Do I just want to keep it on the last Android 12 version for each?
