developement dead?

So been floating around past few months and it seems developement for the s6 edge plus is dead..
Is anyone working on anything?
Any roms due an update?
Anyone working on anything special?
This is not a moaning post, simply a post to see if we have anyone activly working on any developements or if developement is dead
Thanks in advance

Had the similar feeling from last couple of weeks. I wish someone please shed some light on upcoming developments particularly about ROMS. Would be much obliged.

Same feeling here...Pixel rom seems to be the only one alive.
Great phone, small development....

Yeah i stupidly bought the verizon variant, here i am stuck without a single root. Gonna sell it soon and maybe get a s7 edge

Maybe when Oreo comes the development will be active again?

Can we flash every Note 5 rom on our s6 edge+? As I have recently flashed the updated version of Dr. Ketan ROM for Note 5 on my s6 edge+ and it is working flawlessly...

yes dead

HTV HD2 didn't get Nougat but runs it. Someone will make a custom Oreo ROM for s6e+ don't worry.

Yeah, but i was talking about a stock rom

OREO 8.1 for S7 Edge?

Dear all, Our beloved S7 Edge has already received two major updates and Oreo is likely the last OS update our device might receive.
However, a recent GFXBench result shows Galaxy S7 with Android Oreo 8.1.0 and our S7 Edge might also get the same treatment.
Link to the Original Post on S7 forum is :https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/android-8-1-s7-t3841030
Link to GFXBench Result for S7 : https://gfxbench.com/device.jsp?benchmark=gfx50&os=Android&api=vulkan&D=Samsung+Galaxy+S7+%28Mali-T880%2C+SM-G930x%29&testgroup=info

Then this must be the Galaxy S phone with the longest ever updates , I think Samsung is aware about the fact that the S7 and the S7 edge still sells better, and is way better then other A5,A6,A8 phones that have similar price.

If only it's true

Let's hope for the best.
Let's be honest here, Oreo 8.0 update for S7 Edge was not very convincing as the battery life is less than stellar. Oreo 8.1 update might fix this issue.

Basically a repost of my answer, but the Oreo 8.1 on GFX doesn't seem to be like 8. It's missing heartrate sensor and a Samsung Android version. Sounds like GFX mistook a AOSP signed build running on the S7 for a legitimate Samsung one. It should have 9.5 and heartrate checked (probably related to S Health), AOSP can't run heartrate or store a Samsung Android value because it isn't TW. I might be wrong and 8.1.0 is coming, but for now that's what it seems like.

My odin is stuck on <ID:0/005> SetupConnection.. Is that normal? I'm flashing the stock rom

Will S8 Get Lineage OS 16 / Anyone Developing ?

I was wondering isnt there any developer working on a Lineage OS 16 rom for our beloved phone. I mean Galaxy s9 Has, but don't we?!

Not really. There are no developers investing time and efforts in the Galaxy S8. Maybe, some lucky day we will get lineage os 16 on our S8, but that will be after the S8 recieves the pie update and samsung releases their kernel source code for it.
The S9 has LineageOS because it has treble. Google it to find out more. Treble makes it a lot more easier for devices to be developed on and appear more appealing to the developers. Personally I have no hope we will recieve LineageOS ever

Cross your finger for Samsung giving the Galaxy S8 Treble support in the Pie update...

This device was out when Treble was starting out, they'd have added it to Oreo by now if they wanted it to support Treble...
They're not gonna give an incentive to buy one of their old phones.

There is a "guy" but since everyone who started making ROMs , scammed people on money , I wouldn't expect anything . There is lineageos15 almost bugless . Newest build had ril working and most of stuff WITHOUT sound working on speaker and GPS. Sound was working only with headphones. But I don't have a link 4 it . I have link 4 lineage from this https://youtu.be/2l_2f4EwQRc = no GPS , no camera , no ril, no bt and sound only come from headphones

The build in the youtube video is the build from Ivan. Ivan was the main developer for Lineage, and his newest build is the one shown in the video. He currently is not developing for the s8 as far as I know.

One Ui Pie update for S7 & S7 Edge

Why isn't there a one UI ported rom for our device when we get AOSP ROMS WITH PIE working on our device??
As long as s8 can get one ui pie is it doable porting it on our device??
Sorry for the noob question

But that's based on oreo and not pie

I get your point but porting an entire OS from scratch can be a lot of work. Not all developers have the knowledge/ are willing to put in the effort for completing the task successfully. Especially since developers do what they do for free.

Oh okay, we'll have to wait for a stable rom then

we hope that the 7 FE gets the pie update, with that update the devs can port it to S7 very easely

From what i saw note fe wasn't in the list that Samsung published about the devices that will get the pie update. I really hope they update note fe to pie so we can get pie too because note fe and s7 have the same internals if i am not mistaken?

note fe was in the list a few months ago, but now itsn't :/

If Note FE is getting it then I thought samsung can just port it to s7 S7 edge easily, but then they can't do that because the Americans will go nuts with their S7 permanently stuck on version behind the rest of the world...

Note FE has started recieving the ONE UI update so are there any developers willing to port it for S7 Edge?

@sac23 is working on a port for our devices
Pretty excited and eagerly waiting for the rom

Kill-switch is already on it

yesterday I saw that they took out a port of one ui for the j7 pro, why not for the s7 edge?

Already done by @sac23 and @Kill-Switch
Amazing developers
Thank you guys

No Roms for S8

There are official AOSP Roms like Lineage OS for the Galaxy S7 or even S9, but there is no for the Galaxy S8.
What is the reason for that?
I really would like to have something like Pixel Experience on my G950F

There are several nice roms available for the Exy S8 If there isnt one you like the next best thing would be to make it yourself.If it where that easy there would be plenty of them out by now

Is it be possible or easier to port a Rom of the S9. I already have seen lots of ports

Lack of developers. They've all moved on
