Android 8 development ? - LineageOS Questions & Answers

DISCLAIMER I'm not English, sorry in advance.
So if you don't know Android O (8.0) as been announced and a dev version has been released.
Does lineageOS is going to make a version for this new android update ?
Will it be compatible with Samsung galaxy s4 ? (Just like his brother LineageOS 7.1.1)
That's pretty much it thank you for taking your time to read.
Best regards ; Bread.

I don't think the Android version number has been confirmed, just "O". There will certainly be LOS15* release corresponding with "O", but it is way too early to know about device support.

You're right tho from what I've seen there is not that much of a difference from android 7.1.1 and android 8.0 same UI and option pretty much, only few new feature and I guess some optimisation.

Android 6.0

Hello everyone,
Do you know if a rom Android 6.0 aosp is in prepar ?
Thank you so much
I heard that CM13 is already in the works. It's sort of unlikely that such an old phone would get such a new update, as I think the CM teams would be working on newer devices. It's possible, and if not, there could always be a port.
Thank bro i wait and see

@Ivan_Meler is already working on 6.0 AOSP build

Android O, can we have a full taste on it?

​As the dawn of 64-bit processors are on the horizon, how long till our chipset dies?
​I'm amazed on how I can run Android Nougat 7.1.2 despite Qualcomm stopped releasing drivers for the chipset (as far as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong). When Android O comes out, will we ever get a full taste on it?

We can not say right now but as you observed that we came from jb to nougat and we might see android o if our devs stays strong and still uses armani without the device they can't do anything as they have to test many things to do for initial bring up of android o lineage/aosp builds
We now have Nougat check unofficial build by HemantBeast.

Android Oreo 8.0 official for this device?

So yes, I see on TV these a news about Android Oreo that just released this month. Seems interesting, but I had a question:
Is there an official Android Oreo for this device?
Thanks for the advance. Sorry for my bad English.
nope. The last release they did was the final version, maybe some security patches but thats it unfortunantly.
We probably will be getting custom 8.0 roms though

Saw on the Nextbit forum on Reddit that Android O is being discussed so hopes up that they'll decide to update.

oh that would be nice. I read somewhere that they would only do security patches and that 7.1 was the last major update they would do. I hope what i read wasn't true because it would be amazing to have an official 8.0 build

Here is the thread where a Nextbit rep said it's being discussed. It would indeed be great to have an official 8.0 build.

OK, thanks. I need to turn on my VPN first because in Indonesia Reddit is blocked.
Wish I found out about this sooner. I already ported my my device to Lineage OS 14.1 build, and now I await the Lineage OS 15 build with all its new optimizations and features built from Android Oreo.

Hardware support has ended, but software support goes on until February 2018. I think O will be the last manufacturer update we see.

Will they Treblized it on Oreo updates..?
As it'd be the most awesome thing ever happened if this phone get Project Treble enabled...

I honestly doubt they will, but I'd love to be proven wrong! Treble will enable such great things for our device

Android O for LG G4

Is anyone working on an Android O ROM for the LG G4? - preferably supporting H811
the last thing you lost is the hope
Maybe sometime oreo packages will include a G4. But the other way around might take a little bit more time.
I think we will have a useable build of custom oreo before we receive the official stock nougat.
I see LinageOS ver 15 images popping up for other phones, so hoping we'll see something soon.
I doubt LG would make an official Oreo ROM for it, but it looks like Lineage OS 15 (Android O) is being worked on for bootloader unlocked devices (H815, H811).
Of course Android O with Project Treble is a massive change, so it could take time.
I am also waiting for Oreo. ?

When Oreo comes I will grab it as well. [emoji4]
Mods, please close this thread. It has NOTHING constructive to offer. It is just a circlejerk of people crying for something that will never oficially happen.
Well not specifically O but I just don't understand why they released V30 with 7.1.2 out of the box and couldn't do the same for us, instead 7.0 only. Makes no sense as it's not even out yet and V30 has been in development for months...

wow, another insightful commend bringing SO much information to this /thread...
1. Oreo is only just out
2. It will never, ever come in any official capacity from LG
3. There may or may not be a Lineage build for it, we'll have to wait and see.
To everyone still here, @kessaras has done an amazing job with AOSCP oreo on the G4. So search it, it supports H815 and H811

Lenovo P2a42 Android Q Update

Hello everybody,
Title says it all, I heard the requirements for flashing an Android Q GSI was increased, does the Lenovo P2a42 still manage to get away with it? It runs Oreo and Pie just fine, with the Treble enabled, but that's about it.
Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-android-q-beta-gsi-project-treble/
The build.prop says my current ROM is running Treble, however the other 2 tests mentioned in the source show false for me, and I'm not sure if I did it wrong, or my current ROM simply didn't support it, or is this phone finally meeting its end? Can it handle Android Q's requirements or is this the end?
Thank you for your time.
You are thinking way too much. Just enjoy the moment and don't stress much dude. When Q is released, we will know it. As long as the devs are interested, everything is possible.
Is there any full supported a/b methodology?
Android Q is coming soon to Lenovo P2.....

At the moment, Bootleggers 4.3 is the most stable Android 9 ROM for P2. No Android 10 is at its level due to stability issues.
