Why don't the devs work on lineage Os together? - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Just curious.. why is it that we're seeing rom after rom drop.. all based on lineage.. but lineage isn't official yet.
I understand all the hardware needs to work before it's official. So why not fix the base rom instead of just building everything we see?
Again.. I'm just curious. I used to build ROMs too and always liked to base stuff on fully functional code.

I have. I've also 'listened' in on the conversations in the chat rooms.
Most just want recognition for building their roms. Some will help occasionally but the primary focus is "thanks" and xda recognition NOT completing the base rom or getting things official. I completely understand why vache won't work on official since he doesn't have the device.. but there are many others that are more concerned about the things stated above.
I tried to word my initial question do I wasn't insulting the devs.. but.. after your statement I felt the need to clarify.

Well to be honest you have a point there

Yes. Instead of so many ROMs, we need stable ROM. Even one LOS should be good enough

[Q] Now Android MM is out for while, anybody working on any new ROMS?

Hey guys was just wondering if there any developers who are working on some new ROMS for our MXP as it seems very quiet in the development sections of the forums, couple of variations of stock rom and that's pretty much it.
Was expecting for development to pick up after the MM but its been VERY quiet.
Not a complaint just wondering if there are things going on behind the curtains like development being done or some CM13 or anything along those lines.

Having MM OTA out is not enough.
Not much can be done until Motorola will release the kernel source

Any idea if its going to get released and if yes then when ?
and out of self interest what does the kernel source enable developers to do ?

It's totally depended on Motorola.
The source enable developers to release AOSP roms and custom kernels.

Has Motorola been known to release kernel sources before for previous flagships ?
Would love for them to release the binaries and device tree for AOSP builds...

They are required to release any changes to the kernel they have made due to the GPL license that the linux kernel is protected by. so its not a matter of if but when.
MM and now kernel source released, and still, slow as hell. Sucks. I thought this phone would be one of the most active in development, was i wrong.

I'm on retail Asia variant which leaves me with 1 rom. And I can't even get mm for my variant let alone custom roms.

I've been about to say the same. It's good you've made Pure Nexus for N BUT if that is home made keep it with yourself. You use github? The sources all yours? If not you are facing troubles as you've likely not been given permissions by the one having maintained the Pure Nexus for quite a while. Nor you quoted him in OP.

Terribly unsafe post. No one knows who compiled this, no source code, nothing. Do NOT flash, just to be safe at least.
Do not flash, Uberstock is not ready for prime time if you need ROMs go to the threads themselves.

You don't get the point. It's not hate. It's called being safe. It's one thing to download an app you don't know where it came from and install it on your phone but to uninstall an entire operating system that you are unsure where it came from? No way to report bugs? What happens if flashing the wrong breaks your device? Where are you supposed to get help at? Are you going to help people? I agree, if you were in need of a new get rom that bad then search the forums
Exactly. No hate but these are rip off roms and unsafe.

I didnt even knew that Uberstock is on Nougat. Thanks.
But after i flashed the latest ROM (08-27) and Cl3Kener gapps, i received dozen of "stopped working" alerts. Guess its still in some alpha / beta version.

Thanks for this thread. This is exactly what I've been wondering too. I am on CM based RR ROM and even though the idea of using nougat is quite appealing I'm not sure how much it's worth the whole hassle, specially given I'm too used to RR's huge set of features.
I'll check back to see if someone's answered, and surely post back if I've struck luck with a custom nougat ROM, though I have a feeling it might take some time before a custom athene ROM such as CM or CM based rolls out, and prolly it's worth the wait if I don't have to go back to stock ROM for just a few odd extra features which have largely been ported through mods/apps and implemented in custom ROMs already.

Agreed.
It will take a while for people to start working on Nougat based ROMs. From what I understand, devs are still perfecting the CM bases MM ROMs, which requires a lot of time and effort.
I don't see any Nougat ROM anytime soon, at least not as a stable daily driver. I'm sure our devs are equally thrilled but let's wait it out a little!

[TEST][ROM]Test builds ported from 4X

Here I'll post test ROM builds ported from Redmi Note 4X (SD625) for you to try them.
Use with caution. Bugs are expected.
If the build for the particular ROM is good enough I'll open a separated thread for it and will keep it updated.

I don't have any knowledge of porting or building roms, but lack of development for our device is really disappointing. Thank God you jumped in. I was also thinking that redmi note 4 has almost identical hardware that of p2. Good luck, we are here to back you up (most probably as testers.) But I can promise that I shall put more effort in learning porting and building.
Btw, a debloated MIUI will definitely go very well with our p2. Also, kindly try to look into other non cm/aosp based roms like LEWA OS, FIUI, EMUI, EUI, COLOR OS, FUNTOUCH OS etc.
Answering your questions... I won't put any additional work on VoLTE as it's not available in my country, but still some ROMs may support it out of the box. Building a ROM better than stock is impossible, the stock Nougat ROM is near perfect imo. MIUI why not, I'm not a fan of it, but I know many others like it.

For me the only major issue with cutom roms is the not working audio slider during conversations (volume is fixed to a mid level) and the fact that during conversation with loudspeaker the other person can hear him/herself, making the conversation impossible. There are some related messages in other threads, look for my posts.
If you manage to fix this this device will almost be perfect, but I don't use volte and I seldom use wi-fi tethering.

Well, by "better" I mean in terms of battery life since I've read lots people saying that custom roms don't perform that good with battery. I would say that a custom rom is better than stock even if it could reach that battery life.
Maybe I should've explained myself better

Future of OP3T

What is the future of OP3T concerning roms? I know One Plus will not provide support after the O update, so well have to get our taste from custom roms. Why are there so many resurrection ROMs? Does anyone still use all those features anyhow? I can't tell you the last time i heavily modified my rom. I typically stay on PA, FreedomOS, or stock rooted.
Does anyone know where I can find some AOSP kernels?

no one said O is end of the line for 3/3T, it's the end of beta, they cant keep 2 beta's
that's said, even if that's true, there will be plenty of O custom roms, and probably P when it's released...
AOSP kernel, hmm, ther was one i don't remember it's name i'm not sure if it's still maintained, look for it on the cross devices section, it was the kernel for the OSIP rom.

Actually I don't know how that goes, since I know nothing about developing ROMs, but since there is new OS versions for devices which didn't get them officially, there must be some way. Some functions propably not gonna work similarly, depends on device tho (Samsung Note 4 example.. custom ROMs were missing all "S pen" -stuff and camera quality was horrible. All camera framework stuff were binded to Touchwiz itself), but atleast our Oneplus 3T is quite simple device and camera is so far working "good enough" even on custom ROMs.

The source code used for custom roms is based on aosp(google)not on the one released by oneplus. Basically the one on pixel and nexus devices and mixed up with oneplus drivers( blobs actually)..
So no. Custom roms will continue till developers stop making builds.years after oneplus droping support
This phone is good for the next year at least. People will still have it since it's like the budget pixel

Not really. The code oneplus release, the blobs and the devices trees can help to improve custom ROMs, but custom ROMs won't disapear if we doesn't have the source.
Just look at the Xperia SP for example. Official android version, 4.3. Android version thanks to custom ROMs, Oreo.
The code the manufacturer release is highly important at launch, to have a base to work on to port a custom ROM. On android P developers will take the android O tree and start to update it to support the code changes of P, without the need of OP.
