Let the development begin :fingers-crossed:
Yeah....for Nougat, who cares? lol
I very much doubt many devs are going to be falling over themselves to build a Nougat rom when most of them are currently trying (with no help from OnePlus) to develop Oreo roms.
Also, why is it N? Wasn't the 5T supposed to launch with O? GSMArena seems to think so...
Yep but let's release a new device first before we can real get the development going?don't want to finish things do we ?
Android 8 without xposed is useless for me.
I'm glad that op5t comes with android 7.x.x
Will our Moto G5 Plus will get project treble support? Project treble will help us in creating a Custom rom in Just 2-3 days easily....
I hope Developers try to add its support alongwith Android Oreo update!!
Unlikely... New (future) Moto devices might get it, but I find it very unlikely that Moto will apply it to old devices. My opinion, could be wrong, but Lenovo doesn't have much history of giving new features to devices existing devices.

Hi,
All new Oreo devices will need to habe Treble if the device pass the Google Certification. So, all new Moto devices that come with Oreo from start will be Treble enabled.
However, I'm with you: I don't think our current Moto's will get it. :crying:
If Vache does magic again, we could.
But as Vache is already our best Dev, and he's busy, he already shipped 64bits for us! That's already an amazing improvement.
He bring Oreo too. Without him, our device is almost dead.
But I don't know if vache want to add Treble support to our device, and I don't know if he can. But instead of wanting new thing, enjoy what he already done.
At the moment, all Oreo rom's are having trouble with the camera, and will be fixed when official oreo launches..
since we know that we won't receive P officially.. are we going to have camera troubles or is there any chance that these bugs, in the future could be fixed without official drivers?
Thanks.. (just to clarify, i'm not asking for ETA, just asking if there is really a need for those official sources for a fix)
As far as I understand, it's possible that there may be bugs in an Android P custom ROM on a stock Oreo firmware device. I do not know how much the P multi-camera API will also affect things https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...-spotlight-new-multi-camera-api-improvements/ though I suspect it may cause more headaches in trying to adapt the Oreo camera drivers for P.
In terms of fixing the camera driver, it seems like a big pain to fix. From this XDA article https://www.xda-developers.com/came...opers-make-hardware-work-without-source-code/ you have to contend with closed source, proprietary driver packages and have to make shims (lots of patches) to get the camera working, assuming you can determine what functions to use or divert. It seems that legal/intellectual property issues stop OEMs from releasing the source code. The bottom line is that you'll likely want dedicated developers troubleshooting the camera, and with Android P bringing a new API, it's anyone's guess if P custom ROMs will have a fully functioning camera.
Could someone create and provide SECURITY PATCHES for OREO and for LG G6 ?
Please, if you don't know what you are talking about, don't answer this message !
(i.e. answers such as update to PIE (android 9 by LG) or even to android 10 as "LeCorbusier" says.
As every ADULT knows, after 2-3 years a top-notch phone such as LG G6 is not dead !
Mine, at least, in 2020 works very well with OREO, and my only problem is getting security patches for OREO (android 8) and STOP updates for PIE !
I don't need PIE OS (Android 9 by LG), and its so-called improvements !
All I need is "security patches for OREO (android 8) and apps patches for CAMERA and other things similar.
Therefore, I suggest DEVS to think about what they are truly doing : MANTAIN a system of consumerism that is void (such as brands), or help people not throw away phones that still work perfectly well !
Please, help me and help millions of people not over consuming Phones !
1. Oreo is outdated and no one is willing to spend so much time to develop security patches for Oreo. Because it's hard to integrate with LGE framework. You could try to use custom rom with newer security patch
2. Or try find developer and pay him. For a custom rom
