Was running lOS 14.1 (7.12) on my N9 awhile back, but then support dropped.
I know few liked this machine, but it's works great for me. Any news about someone picking up supporting lOS 16/17 for Nexus 9?

Well guy's, let's face it: Will there be official LineageOS 15 support running Oreo for our beloved 1+5?
Time will tell.. there are allready pretty good unofficial LOS (or LOS) based Oreo's outthere. For me personal i don't care, i will stick in the future on a nice AOSP based one
I don't see why there wouldn't be. It's not like it is an old device. And it's pretty dev friendly too.
Yes. There's no official version yet because LOS itself is not ready yet, not just for our device.
Blu Spark released a unified kernel that works on both the OP5 & 5T so it seems possible that there might also be unified builds of ROMs which would make it more likely the OP5 will continue to be supported. If unified ROM builds are very difficult or impossible then there's probably a good chance independent development will dry up for the OP5. The phone was only out for 4 months so it might be hard for devs to justify much more active development on the OP5.
I really hope that the development section won't ditch 1+5. I'm really enjoying this device so far.
LineageOS 15 would be such a blessing on this device
Of course it will be supported, it's already on the list of supported devices for Lineage and there's going to be official source so why wouldn't it be supported? LineageOS 15 isn't ready yet. Be patient.
Also, apparently they're going to go straight to 8.1 as a base so we probably won't get official LineageOS 15, it'll go straight to 15.1.
See their recent announcement here.

It may be on the immediate list of supported devices but be realistic--the OP5 was on the market for 4 months. How long do you think developers will continue to support a device that the manufacturer clearly didn't care about?

Are you serious? There are 5 yr old devices still supported by LineageOS, the Nexus 4 for example : https://download.lineageos.org/mako (Released 13 November 2012), even the OnePlus One and 2 are still supported and they're 2 and 3 yrs old.
Chill out, the OP5 will be supported for quite a while.
As for the OP5 being on the market for 4 months, everyone knew the 5T was coming, the exact same thing happened with the 3/3T, those now have unified builds, the same thing will happen with 5/5T, there's no emergency here. lol
Honestly.. There is a Thread about unofficial Oreo LineageOS already out in the Dev- Section. So what is this about? A bit of looking around would have answered that question
I was just curious about if it will be official or not. I'm aware of the fact that there are already some builds up and running.
Title says it all. This is simply unacceptable. I am sure as hell not asking for LOS 14.1 support on the page, an official rom should never be released with a broken camera. Needless to say I plan on making LOS 13 builds because I do enjoy a stable Nexus 10 with EVERYTHING working, also I need to switch to LOS13 as a Sailfish OS base as opposed to LOS14.1 for kernel related reasons andas such need up to date builds which I have no access to (at least for now ha ha ha).
Is there anyone who would actually be interested in this? I am making some LOS 13 images regardless, I love this tablet, more so than my new Nexus 9 (the N9 is phenomenal though, perfect tablet IMO, I got a good one). Neat side note: I have now owned and used every single Nexus tablet ever made up to the Nexus 9, and soon, a Pixel C. I am proud of this fact. Nexus 10 is the best one for sure though.

Yes, I use one of the latest official LOS 13 builds and have no plans to move to a more new but less functional ROM.

Just got back from kakadu and my latest May 12th Build is finished. gonna start a development thread today once it uploads to Gdrive and I test it.
If you don't mind, could you please let me know which LOS 13 version is the most stable with headphone jack working? I am on a nougat rom and would like to move back to something more stable
Well, I use lineage-13.0-20180114..., the headphone jack works, but you have to reboot the tablet to switch the output back to the speakers.
Don't know which one was the last ROM without this bug.
Hi,
I was wondering if Android 10 based ROMs from maybe our favourite devs, say the unofficial Lineage OS 17, RR8 etc would be available and developed upon in the future.
I know the phone is getting old, and many people might have jumped ship towards newer ones, so are some of the devs still rocking the V20, or at least interested in developing for it.
It's hard to get a unified voice to predict, but in case someone knows some of the devs, it'd be nice to hear from them about this.
The biggest problem with those roms will be the lack of volte and wifi calling, those things are already a necessity to me.
I just bought my mint v20 tmobile version and frankly I am stunned by the lack of devlopment for this phone! For what many deem the last of the great flagship phone ever made ...it is stunning. I am comong from a leeco lemax 2 which has an extremely active development forum, I was so hoping to be able to install the latest greatest android and pixel OS ...but it is like a freaking ghost town. I know I would donate for a good OS on the latest android. Sad.
Alpha Omega might work on one, and it would be great. He might be our only hope.
Even without voLTE or WiFi calling, it'd be awesome to see some or even one Android Q ROM!
Personally I'd love a Paranoid Android ROM now they're back
Lineage 15.1 has come to an end of development, what are my options so I can continue to use my Nexus 6p. I have it since 2015 and it runs great, started with Pure Nexus now Lineage. I would prefer to stay with oreo but I am uncertain what to do. I heard there are problems with 9 and 10 roms on this unit. I really do not want to part with this phone if I can keep it current. Appreciate some guidance. Thanks.
Hi, im trying to ressurect my nexus 6 now. Im seaeching in xda and i found there is 2 custom ROM android 10 for nexus 6 which is Lineage OS 17.1 and Crdroid. Now i cant choose between those 2. Can someone tell me pros and cons between those 2? I prefer having smooth expe6

CrDroid has a wealth of customisations, including a very effective Face Unlock. It's also (for me) totally stable.
LOS is also stable. Technically they are both excellent ROMs, and I guess it's just a case of personal preference.
Colt OS, which I loved in its Android 9 version but haven't tried in Android 10, is undoubtedly also worth a look.

So you have experience with crdroid and lineage? What did you prefer?

I've used all three ROMs I've mentioned. I loved Colt 9, but installed CrDroid before Colt 10 came out and I'm more than happy with it. It's the one I use and recommend only because it has more customisations (I think) than LOS. I have LOS 17.1 on my Nexus 5 and it's great. But I suspect, based on my usage of Colt 9, that Colt customisations will also be great. I just like CrDroid 's Face Unlock so I'm sticking with it.
Two comments:
1. LineageOS is the main place for the device specific code. Other roms mostly copy that from the LOS repositories. The result is that the different roms tend to build on the same foundation (and a very good foundation that is).
2. VoLTE and wifi-calling don't work on any Android 9 or 10 roms. (Though we hope that @wavedashdoc will help us with that at some point in the future). If you need that, stay on an old version. In particular, you need VoLTE for voice calls if your carrier has shut down their 3G net.
Is Verizon (or total wireless / straight talk mvno under them) one that has shut down 3g Network?
