I was planing to buy the Oneplus 6. So when I searched the Web for a Official Lineage OS ROM I found the Article I linked below telling me that there maybe never be a Official Lineage OS ROM for this phone. This being the only bit of information I was able to find about A/B seamless updates and the implications this means for OFFICIAL Custom ROMS this leads me to two questions.
The device specific Question. Will there ever be a Official Lineage OS ROM for the Oneplus 6?
The broader non device specific Question is about A/B seamless updates and the future that means for OFFICIAL Lineage OS ROMS.
No device with A/B has ever received a Official Lineage OS ROM (even the Pixel 2 which supports Treble).
Does A/B makes it impossible that this apparently unstoppable course can change in the future?

just a matter of time and about how many devices will need a treble compatible and A/B compatible version. the more of those pop up on the market the sooner they'd have to either cease development or adopt the new infrastructure which is already happening at this very moment.
Hi there,
I hope I'm posting in the right forum here, otherwise please accept my apology.
I'm new to building ROMs. Currently I'm playing with the HiMedia Q30, don't like their firmware and would like to replace it. At first with alternative ROMs, then with my own build.
I wanted to try SlimRoms, CopperheadOS and LineageOS, but it looks like they're optimized for phones. Even the Oreo builds from the Android website are for phones.
Questions:
1. Do the mentioned ROMs work on any device?
1.1 If so, why are they optimized for different models?
2. Can you recommend a ROM for TV boxes?
3. Is there any general Android (preferably 7+) build that works on any device?
I appreciate your help. Thank you.
AB
any luck with this yet?
Hi!
I would like to present you Android Boot Manager dualboot solution.
For now we have 4 work in progress devices:
Volla Phone
F(x)tec Pro 1/X
Moto G5
Galaxy S3 neo (nothing done yet)
Our wiki
Why new solution?
There is a lot of them already, such as: efidroid, multirom, dualboot patcher.
Now all of them are dead, because google implemented SAR, A/B, super partition.
We aim to support all that.
How it work?
ABM consists of 2 parts: bootloader and app+ sh scripts.
App with sh scriptes is used to install bootloader and add new roms.
Bootloader is used to display list of roms and load linux kernel with right dtb and optionally initrd.
What is used as BL:
Anything that can boot kernel. It coud be either 2nd stage bl, or in some cases even phones main bl.
For now:
Volla Phone (MTK's lk based bl)
F(x)tec Pro1/X (custom abl + uefi app)
Moto G5 and S3 neo (lk2nd)
Thanks to:
nift4 (Android app dev, co-creator of project)
LVGL team (GUI library)
lk (little kernel, used as bootloader on some platforms)
Fxtec (HW)
Volla (HW)

I have a F(x)tec Pro1 ready for some stunts, I'm happy to serve as a test pilot as soon as I can find some instructions!
You call it Android Boot Manager. Does that mean it is made specifically to boot things that are based on Android, like Stock, AICPQ, LineageOS, or is that true for any ported OS that runs on libhybris with the Android kernel (plus some patches sometimes), like hybris-mobian, ArchARM, SFOS, etc.?

Hi, now we have work in progress wiki https://www.wiki.abmanager.tech/index.php/Main_Page
We plan to implement no-bootloader-workaround that will work on devices without 2nd or 1st stage opesource bootloader. And we plan support for Das U-boot
Great news! I see that the Pro1 msm8998 is not listed among supported devices, but count me in as a tester as soon as it is. Curious if it would be possible to dualboot mainline + libhybris OSes too, but I reckon this would be difficult.

It is not listed as wiki is really WIP. And yes it will be possible to dualboot libhybris based OSes with mainline based.
how is the project going? think that your android boot manager will be a cool thing!!

Strange... there is an post in my inbox that I can't see with the web ui?
oh ok that sounds cool..do you know if they are also working on an „universal“ solution for „all“ phones?

I am one of the developers, and well we are working on something easy to port, it isn't totally generic.

that‘s because i deleted the post. It was logic anyway that it will be (hopefully ) a universal solution, bc its also in the topic android development. But nice that you working on that! I also have Dualboot on my Poco F1 because the dev vasishath brought Multirom to this device.
Hi Luka,
any info on the progress of dualboot for the f(x)tec pro1 x? ABM would definetely be great for this device.
Hi,
I am completely new to the topic. Can you please help clarify the following:
Are there any out of the box de-googled devices on the market now?
Is there a list of Linux phones?
What is the best approach for buying a Linux phone:
Find the desired OS and then search for the supported phones, and install it by yourself?
Try to buy something OOTB?
Is there any phone that is now considered as "best Linux phone" in terms of hardware?
I will appreciate it if you can help me to discover this topic starting with these questions.
Thank you in advance,
What do you understand by "de-googled"?

HUAWEI phones thanks to Mr. Donald Trump all are de-googled.
Thank you. I will need to dig into how HUAWEI handles privacy. Originally I thought to go with some Linux OS, so I can be sure what traffic goes where and configure it as needed. But as far as I know, Linux-like OSes are still not good as stock Android.
Hello, everyone!
I just got a J4+ from a family member after my iPhone stopped working, I've been an iOS user for over 4 years.
Before moving to iOS in 2017, I used to be a Samsung/Android user and I also used to install custom roms on my phones but I see that things are a bit diff now.
What is the best custom rom for J4+? I need less lag on apps like Instagram (specially in the camera section), TikTok (videos lag a lot on One UI) and on games.
I see that nowadays you need to unlock the bootloader in settings and then flash some unlocking stuff on TWRP before being able to install roms? I'd need quite a guide, if anyone can help
Thank you!!
phhusson's GSIs.
This link always points to the latest release.
This link points to v313, (maybe) the last version that will work on J4+ since it is an A-only device.
Remember to use the arm-aonly image. Either Googapps or Vanilla variant is fine, it's up to you.
See here for instructions:
How to flash a Generic System Image (GSI) on Project Treble supported devices
So your device supports Project Treble, what does that mean for you? It means you can flash a Generic System Image such as LineageOS or Resurrection Remix! Enjoy AOSP-based custom ROMs! Here's a guide on how to install these ROMs.
