How long it will take for android O custom ROM??? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi
I was just wondering after release of AOSP Sources , how long it wipp take for stable build of android o for oneplus 3T

after the release of android z

It may be a few months, may be next year. Nobody knows at this point. Official OOS 8.0 Release will be in a few months so a custom rom release could also be around that time

Why do we need oos to push out 8.0 for us to get it with custom ROMs? Thought custom ROMs can be somewhat 'ported' over from some devices or built from the open sources? I was also wondering the same as op, but didn't expect it to take that long. Hopefully it will be sooner than later

I wasn't implying we need to wait for OOS. I was merely stating if OOS is gonna take a few months, Custom Devs might as well. But i do hope I'm wrong. I think either RR or PA would be the first to take it up.

When Android M and N were was released, we started getting custom roms within 1~2 months on OP2. Should be fast than this on OP3T.

RR is based on LineageOS, so that's not gonna happen unless the source updates first.
PA has limited resources meaning it could take a while for them too.
I'm guessing it's gonna be a random dude with an AOSP port with the first alpha in about 3 weeks. Just a guess, so don't count on it.

Cyanogen OS/MOD 13 Discussion

Friends,
The work on Cyanogen OS/MOD 12.1 seems to be stopped.
Developers are working hard on Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
So lets discuss about Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
Add your suggestions, which we want in Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
www .cmxlog. com/12.1/ham
www .cmxlog. com/13/ham
Why there are no changelogs ? last 2 Nigthlys came without any information.
Because developers are moved towards canogenmod 13
Hope next week we get CM13 Nightly`s on our devices
I think I will never buy again a Cyanogen OS phone. Cyanogen OS with MS crap and lame updates. Old S3 get CM13, ZUK Z1 still not get CyanogenMod 13 :/
Note 5 get Android 6, S6 get it and even Huawei roll Android 6 out... Huawei xD

Don't worry. As long as I and JoaoPaulo are around you guys will have the latest Android versions.
Just get our unofficial CM13 build.
It has everything but the fingerprint reader working and even that one is only a matter of time until we get it working.

LOL! Typical for people like you. Go ahead, don't buy. Would you rather like to get constant updates with tons of bugs, or just stable and working OS.
And watch your language here.
Also Huawei is one of the greatest players on the market... You obiviously do not know a thing and all you do is rage on xda.
(Huawei made some ofNEXUS devices also. Would Google let Nexus line to someone stupid?)
Maybe it's your first Cyanogen OS phone but I use CM already for 5 years (CyanogenMod). Huawei got 200 devices, Cyanogen 4-5 and no-cyanogen-phones get CM13 Cyanogen is just clean Android, nothing special like MIUI with ton of tools.
If you can't wait for updates just start building for yourself? So do I. That's one of the opportunities you have with our Zuk Z1. At least everything is working as it should with Cyanogen Mod on it. I had a lot of phones in the past which had Cyanogen Mod but a lot of features wasn't working anymore.

CyanogenMod and CyanogenOS aren't same.
Also, they have scheduled it way before. There was already information when Cyanogen OS 13.1 is coming to this phone before you could buy it. So please just be careful and don't whine about update. Everyone would rather like good and stable update over some quick and buggy update. And only most of premium devices are getting update now , not this price range.

100% True.
To that guy that was talking without knowing anything:
CM13 was scheduled for ZUK Z1 way before i get it, and i get this device like one month ago, but they are working on it offline for sure. They prefer to get a fully working ROM to a device than give it a full buggy one. Me and @MrColdbird just could not wait more until they release their source, and i came from a nexus device (pretty sure you know that i downgraded from android 6.0 to 5.1.1 when swap devices), and we decided to work on 6.0 to give users an early experience of CM13, because we can't handle 5.1.1 anymore.
We made a almost full bringup of 6.0 devtree and kernel, and we made a port from a completely different CAF branch, in about 15 days, imagine in what time can CM do it, as they are maintaining this device. Even CM for Nexus Line and OPO (their big son), have bugs on SystemUI and other things, do you think they will even consider about making builds to another phones?
I think almost android users prefer a 100% working device with less features, than a device with newest Software and filled you bugs.
So are u still arguing?
If you don't like CM devices, just don't SPAM our threads like you have reasons to do so.
Go SPAM your device thread, and leave us alone.

I'm new to this Cyanogen/CM and don't know how Cyanogen updates their phones, but from their page at /support it doesn't look like any of their phones got version marshmallow. Are they reliable with updates? I'm wondering how long will Z1 be supported.
we will wait
i see right now all waiting 6.0 and cm 13
me too and im one from those dont know any thing about flashing but i thank u guys for ur work
and i wait the 6.0 for my zuk
and i want to be helpful
if u want any thing to do with my phone to test or somthing i will do
iam Arabian user for the cm 12.1 now
its very good
waiting ur updates soon as possible
If you are fine without a fingerprint reader for now then you can just run the unofficial CM13. JoaoPaulo will implement the fingerprint reader later in January.
Hey, I really would like to test your CM13 build. You wrote, that it is important to backup the persist-partition, if we want to change back to CM12.1. Can I do this with the 'partition backup & restore' app? And just restore the perisist partition after reflashing CM12.1? Or is it included, when I make nandroid-backup via TWRP? Thank you very much!

You can back it up in a root terminal via the following command.
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img
And no, it's not part of a nandroid backup. But yes, any mean of backing up and restoring partitions should (theoretically) work.
Although I'm not entirely sure that restoring the partition in a running Android OS is possible as the partition might be mounted at the time. Restoring it via fastboot or TWRP will work though.

[Discussion] Android 7.0 Nougat released for Nexus devices!

Seeing as there is no thread for the OP3 discussing Nougat as it pertains to this device, I though I would start a discussion thread.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-nougat-finally-released-get-it-now/
Android 7.0 was released August 22nd 2016 for the Nexus 5X, Pixel C, and Nexus 9 tablet. The factory images are available for download. Interestingly, Google also announced that the LG V20 will be the first device to launch with 7.0, meaning the Marlin and Sailfish nexuses are a bit farther away.
Hopefully OnePlus releases 7.0 for the OP3 sooner rather than later...
Edit: Nexus 6 and 6P have yet to receive OTA, but are expected to receive it soon
Hope they release the source soon so that the custom roms start popping up
What's the typical time frame from update to aosp I thought they were at the same time in the past

Since the OP3 devs are awesome, i'd guess there will be unofficial builds of CM before OnePlus releases the official OOS Nougat build. Although obviously early CM Nougat builds may not be 100% stable, but will obviously improve over time.
Now to wait for the AOSP drop and for someone talented to put together a ROM
Of course a custom ROM will come first, OOS takes far too long for what little changes it has.
I hope @Grarak will do his magic when the sources are available!
CM14 will take a long time (don't quote me on this but I guess it will be somewhere around December)
Jesus I cannot wait to try Nougat
Is it just me waiting for the OOS version of Nougat?
If you go by Android 6 releases, it took Oneplus ~9 months to release it after official release, so I expect the OnePlus 3 to receive Android 7 in May 2017.
AOSP sources have been updated soo. If someone wants to cook something up the resources are there.

You're not the only one. The only thing better than stock Android is OOS.
they were collecting 50 OP3 beta testers on theyr forum few weaks ago so i think that was android N beta testing phase.

Android N does not look to be a giant leap from M so I don't think it will take OnePlus that long to get a beta or full release out

yeah, just multiwindow and vr support and little little design changes + some changes to doze. testing the final release on my 5x.
Moreover OP have to adjust the drivers for nougat...
The OP3 ist my daily driver, so i want a stable build.
I dont think oneplus will take longer time to update to android n. They may have learnt their mistakes they did in oneplus 2 and might not repeat this time. This is just my opinion.
If OP releases a stable Nougat build before the end of the year I would consider that a success. More importantly, I'd like them to release their camera source code so that it can be used in Aosp or CM based ROMs

CyanogenMod for OnePlus 3T ?!

After I've reat a lot of threads about the OnePlus 3T, it seems that CM13 for the OnePlus 3 isn't compatible to the OnePlus 3T. Unfortunately there don't even exists a correponding thread in the CM forum for the OnePlus 3T. Even more unfortunately - I've also reat, that the developers won't support the OnePlus 3T.
Is that true... ore just a bad joke?

So, CM isn't compatible with a Snapdragon 821? Because that's the only real difference. I don't think so somehow.....it's more likely that some developers are resentful that OP discontinued the OP3 and started the OP3T and most developers bought a OP3, thus aren't buying a OP3T and make the small changes necessary to make ROMS work on OP3T?
So what about trying to do it yourself =)

I´m interested to learn but if cm needs to be built from scratch, that will be far away from my knowledge
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/help-development-t3508892
I'm almost certain someone will build it at least since the Oneplus 3 is supported. Worst case I will build it myself. Got it to boot on the Huawei P8 so it shouldn't be too difficult for the 3T. I'm more interested in an AOSP build.

I prefer Resurrection remix but cm is a very good start. Do you need to create all the drivers self or how does it work when the first build should be created?
Anyone already working on this? I thought about it, but it would be my first build... could be fun.
I think there are few things like sd 821 which make op3 cm doesn't work on op3t, it should be compatible mostly.

As soon as the device and kernel trees are up RR will be officially supported
And personally. I don't think Source will release until nougat. Why would they release them with nougat less then a month away. Why would Devs spend the time making a rom when nougat is almost here.
If Oneplus 3T and 3 are mostly identical, then could all you really need for CM14.1 would be to edit the script in meta>google>android>script? or is CM not that simple?

That is an incredibly sage observation. If there are developers ready plug the CyanogenMod hole for the 3T (and I'm confident there's at least one or two), it'd be silly for them to plug it with CM13.1. The first CM build the 3T will see is likely 14.1.
If and when it does drop a month or two from now, I'll be abandoning OxygenOS immediately and permanently..

People, DON'T do this

I may have this wrong, but I was looking at CM ROMs over at the oneplus 3 forum (dev), and it appears that the first version of CM wasn't release for a little over 2 months from the release date of the oneplus 3. I wouldn't expect anything quicker over here (if anyone is trying). (well, someone is always trying).
I've built CM12 and 13 on various devices. There are guides all over the place that make it a matter of "process of elimination of errors" just to build, which can take from an hour to forever. (or a week) ; -- Getting it to boot is another thing entirely. You can get all of the useful blobs for the 3t even now from system.img (3.5.3) and build 3.5.3 based ROMs.
People are making the difference between 3t and 3 sound like a gaping chasm, when it's not very clear that there's a significant difference in instruction sets. Maybe the case is more than some developers don't want to support the 3t and all it's associated "problems". (some of those problems are just perceived problems). IF they just do the bare minimum and release 3t ROMs and Kernels then there'll be near chaos with a ton more people whining about something that doesn't work. Since the processor (and GPU) are different, then of course, that'll be a target for whiners that can't handle getting something for free and the few bugs that go with that. The thing that keeps me off of public development (these days) is how much crap I had to listen to while doing it ~3-10 years back.
I'm guessing a "fresh" set of people will do these next iterations of CM-NN.X coming along. Also, it would be somewhat "inspiring" if OnePlus would release those damn Camera sources (or even blobs).

i'm a developer lel...i bought a oneplus3t and i think that port of a oneplus3 rom isn't too difficult, the snapdragon820 and the snapdragon821 are basically the same processor, the only difference is the clock.so..for the building the device tree is identic, what changes is the kernel and the vendor..for the kernel i can use the same patch that cm have used for the oneplus3 so probably i'll support the oneplus3t. My rom isn't a cm based but when we talk about kernels and vendors the rom don't make any difference.

trust me, if you want to port a nougat rom or any versione of android on a non-nexus or on a non-pixel device don't build aosp...build AOKP, DirtyUnicorns (they are aosp based but they have a lot of modifications for non-nexus devices) or at last cm, cm is caf and with a caf base you can try to port the rom but don't belive to make a completly functional rom, for now doesen't exist a nougat kernel for oneplus3t so..if you succesfully build the cm probably will not boot or you could have many other problems.

I've experienced that with the Mi5, Cyanogenmod builds came very quickly after Xiaomi released the kernel sources. I'm also waiting for them, this device would be so much better with Lineage OS, or anything other than a MIUI rom, although the EPIC rom is getting fairly close
You can follow the official github for xiaomi devices here: https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource
Mi5 owners also did a petition though, asking Xiaomi to release the kernel sources for the mi5, maybe we should do the same for the MIX ?

Android 8.0 on the SM-T285

As many of you heard, android 8 has now been officially released. I will be working to get an AOSP version working on the 7" LTE tablet, I have heard that there may be significant HAL changes so it may take some time. I have just released the august update for the SM-T285, I've been also working to get a stable repo out for this device in the last couple of weeks. Anyway wish me luck.
Update 08/24/2017 - I was able to download the 8.0.0_r4 aosp sources and got it to compile the modified device tree. There seems to be significant changes with some HAL libraries, vendor specific libs are now moved to its own place in the system image. Will now proceed to actual testing and porting.

As many of you heard, android 8 has now been officially released. I will be working to get an AOSP version working on the 7" LTE tablet, I have heard that there may be significant HAL changes so it may take some time.

Great! Is there ANY chance you wil make an extra effort to release this for the SM-T280 also?
AFAIK the only difderence is LTE versus WiFi only [emoji4] ?

I won't be directly developing for the T280 sadly. There may be subtle differences at the kernel level and some components (e.g. GPS, touchscreen) which prevents ROMs for the T285 from working with the T280. However my work with the T285 should greatly speedup development for the T280 once the first custom ROMs arrive.

Is this just non stock roms? I've had stock T285 roms running on my T280 without issue.

I remember some people tried on my CM/Lineage/Omni based roms on their T280 and it failed to boot, though I can't tell the method they used to flash those ROMs so it is possible that their methods are incorrect. As for stock ROMs this is new information for me if that is the case. I am unable to verify these as I don't have a T280, though if there is a dev who would like to try if would be nice.

my oreo build isn't usable at the moment, wifi doesn't work and you can't turn the screen back on after turning it off. Trying to figure out if this is a LineageOS issue or a hardware issue takes too much time, I'm waiting for the first official builds of Lineage OS to start rolling out before I spend more time on this.
Bacoor,
I've just bought a Galaxy Tab A6 LTE (SM-T285) and haven't rooted or done anything to an android phone in over 5 years. Feeling Green as hell! I'm back to being a newbie. Any suggestions you can offer to me on a guide and which TWRP and Android I should install on my phone. I'll need some tutorial help as I feel uneasy. Last Time I did rooting and custom roms was way back on the HTC Hero and then the HP Touchpad to Cyanogenmod.
Well with Oreo comes project treble which does in fact mess with the HAL libraries a lot. Maybe that means there is hope the Galaxy Tab A Line will get "Treble-ized".
Good news if we are.

Hiii bro....sohail here and i have samsung galaxy tab a6 sm-t285 and i want nougat/oreo update in it plz help me bro.....what can i do..? Please let me know as soon as you can....hope you help me...:fingers-crossed
I am still on Android 5.1.x rooted, and probably only version for T285 which every feature is tested working.
Intended to upgrade to Android 6 or 7, but there isn't any stable firmware which is bug-free (ie. GPS and video recording).
Not optimistic on 8.0 being bug-free when the 6 and 7 not fixed after such a long wait (months).

I'd update to android 7. Its a great update for my Tab A. Samsung removed a lot of bloat in this update and it runs great.
