That is VERY good news. With a device tree TWRP is a lot closer

Well I am working on it, but don't have the phone yet. Still need to convince the wife [emoji849]...
At the moment there is also no zenfone 5z on stock here, so it will take a while...
Ofc anyone who is adventurous enough to try and see if it boots can give me a shout [emoji16]

Had a hard time getting my 5z too. Had to order at amazon.fr and ship to Germany great phone so far...

Will Omnirom for 5z have at least some ASUS specific features like AI Charging, ZenMojis, Asus AI camera features and so on, or real stock Android without any Asus features

Don't even have the phone yet.... OmniROM is based on AOSP, so without any Asus specific features. There will be device specific implementations like gestures. Other features wl depend on if they can easily be enabled through sysfs or property settings.
But if those features are proprietary or need framework implementation then chances are that they will not be available.
But to be clear... I was planning of buying the 5z and before I do I wanted to see how far I would get without having the actual device...
Right now the everything builds into a flashable ZIP and should be tested. For sure it will not boot because of sepolicy and missing vendor files (and most likely more)

I think you can build TWRP, we need TWRP for backup or restore our phone. and i think you can reference TWRP for zenfone 5 https://github.com/shakalaca/android_device_asus_X00Q
and... thanks for hard work

Great to know that this phone will finally get a rom
I Just received mine today, coming from tab S 10.5 this new phone's screen is small, but to most of you it's big :laugh:

Why we dont have as much developer .. this phone runs on 845 still we dont have any custom rom.. i m happy that some developer has started the work.. and i appreciate there hard work.. hope we will also get builds like oneplus 6.

Yes , you are right but not all the companies
There is asus maxpro m1 .
Maxpro m1 got lineage plus unoffical p
And camera 2api..but the fact is that phone is realsed earlier by asus .. so also i m expecting the development of 5z also be the same..
Cheers for dev who r working hard on devloping roms.

TWRP can be build when replacing bootable/recovery with the TWRP recovery. It's not Synced by default. But TWRP will not work yet as it is. Still needs the proprietary files to be added and since 5z is a a/b device, I did not figure out yet (no time) to see how to make a seperate recovery image.
Add:
<remove-project name="platform/bootable/recovery" />
<project path="bootable/recovery" name="android_bootable_recovery" remote="omnirom" revision="android-8.1" />
To your local_manifests

ramdisk-recovery is not a bootable image. It only contains the ramdisk and the TWRP files.
If you read what I wrote before I said that twrp will not work yet...

It would be nice to have a kernel config from a running kernel to compare with the config that was in the kernel sources from Asus. The config in the released sources does not build.

Stock Android 7 (Nougat) ROM on Mi5

Hi,
Just curious. Have any one managed to flash stock android 7 nougat on mi5?
If yes, any guide to share please?

Hi,
Even if I cannot tell for sure, I think that at this point no one has managed to do this.
Xiaomi just has been kind enough to release kernel sources for the mi5. But, even if I am not a Dev, I am pretty sure that Nougat will need compatible kernel to be booted on mi5. I am not sure that the kernel source is already compatible !
The released kernel already needs some tweaking to be used. And as I hear, it's not going on fast... as almost all devs are already working on Nougat
Pity... but so it is
thanks for the info. hope to have official cm rom first, android N will be the next step
There is an alpha 7.0 on chinese miui forum .
As pointed out an alpha version was briefly(?) available (link dead now) on MIUI china forums. So can get proprietary 7.0 blobs from that maybe. It is a way off though, we do not have a "stable enough" cm13 to go official with nightlies from build bot yet

Possible I think .Though the system is almost broken, WiFi ,Bluetooth ,data etc works .That means
we can build a cm14 with its blobs and prebuilt kernel.

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.
This should help: hxxps://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_oneplus3 hxxps://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

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 ?

we still don't have a working vendor and tree. the only thing that matters for me right now is a working vendor considering from what i know it's the answer to getting voLTE to work on GSI rom's.

Yes and no it's a gsi open source project.the good thing is we are testing and some people stepped in lately with the same chipset.So they made some mayor steps in other groups volte, audio jack support.brightness adjust is still isn't working.volte support is a must have in country like india.i think the Caos project is ahead with support for the note 9/mediatek chip atm
