Android 8 - ROM release - Nextbit Robin

Do you know when we can expect a ROM based on Android O?

Can't say for sure. May never see an official release from Nextbit/Razer, but I'm sure custom rom devs will release it when it's ready.

Didn't Nextbit or Razer hire the devs from Paranoid Android? If they are working on the Robin ROM, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say we'll get Oreo. However Razer announced a gaming phone a while ago, so there is no way to tell.

One of the Developer's for PA is also one of the 30 teams members of nextbit.

There are quite a few links like these which mention Lineage OS 15 (Oreo) supported devices and robin is one of them! I cant wait for the release!

Except those are all fake. The LOS maintainers won't actually know if a device will support LOS 15 until they actually try porting it in the first place. As of now, they haven't tried for the Nextbit Robin yet, so we don't know if the Robin could actually get LOS 15 yet.
If you wanna keep tabs on what devices are currently being worked on, go to https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/statuspen and look for anything being commited to the lineageos-15.0 branch for android_device_nextbit_ether.

Software updates till February as they say on Twitter. Apart from nextbits cloud framework the OS is pretty much stock AOSP and it seems to me they're really good with releasing kernel source and providing updates almost every three months.

Robin, on N, is a mess. If it does eventually get O, it will be a while. We cannot upgrade it to O until we fix out the bugs we have on N first.

What are the bugs on N? I'm thinking about buying one. Is it worth it?

Camera, GPS, battery blah the list goes on. The kernels a mess because of bad sources. I wouldnt recommend it , it would be better getting a moto G device or similar at this stage.

Doesn't make a difference, the code base is a mess. If your buying for a Dev device, dont. Even the top lineage Devs are struggling to make it as stable as it is (and it's not very stable, messy as hell!) As an every day device it's ok but there are better phones now a days in the price range, and support is basically dead for robin now.

Development is not dead at all. Have you seen Gerrit for many of the ROMs??? The CarbonROM Dev already has pushes to Gerrit for O. Lineage still gets device specific changes. ParanoidAndroid has a private kernel source for ether so their working on it behind the scenes. AICP and many other ROMs use the Lineage kernel, so there aren't many differences to those that use that kernel. O development is still ongoing, and this device is still great for the price. The ROMs at the moment, are very stable in my opinion.

I know, I'm the AICP maintainer for ether lol... And discuss with the official lineage maintainers for ether daily ..
I meant official development, btw, meaning a lot of the bugs won't be fixed because we need official updates to be able to fix them.
O development for lineage ether hasn't even begun yet, N bugs need to be fixed before O begins, and that will take awhile.

My apologies if I seemed aggressive. Official development seems to be like any other manufacturer, however, as we all know, software support is ending soon. I've been following Gerrit and have noticed the ongoing development by our developers (including you). IIRC camera was borked on one of the nightlies, but was immediately fixed. IMO, we are now depending on development from our ether devs rather than official support since Nextbit have been ghosting for the past few months.

Keep in mind what DarkExistence said, and realize the Robin's closest equivalent is a Nexus 5. If you can get better & newer hardware for a little more money, do so. I got mine as an "emergency" replacement when I was short on funds a few months ago. I lucked into an eBay sale & discount code which brought the phone to about 100.00. I'm happy with it, but I wish Razer would have made good sources available & gave full permission for them to be hosted elsewhere. So the devs didn't get so frustrated with what should be a decent phone to run custom ROMs on.

So how us the Robin treating you. Did you root? ARE you using any ROMs

Yes, for $130 it's worth buying. The bugs on android N are not nearly as bad as what some claim them to be.
Here's as list of what I can recall:
1. Enhance colors distorts colors (so turn it off)
2. Screen static displays when unlocking phone for 1/10th of a second with some roms
3. You can hear The Speakers turn off after sound has stopped playing if You listen closely
4. Headphones with a mic sometimes cut out and play through internal Speakers although there is as work around for this
5. Audio fx does not work
Other than any of those there is not much i can personally complain about and I own 2 robins. About to get a moto g4 plus because it's time for something that has a larger XDA fourm and something that has been confirmed to get android O (wich nextbit has yet to announce a decision to besides "we have been discussing it").
If I were You and my budget was under $200 i'd get The robin.
If You can spend $225 get The g4 plus without a doubt. Hope this helps

I like it, especially for the price. Currently using CarbonROM rooted with Magisk. Just realize you're getting a phone with zero support from the manufacturer, so don't spend more than you're willing to lose.

Well thank you for being the maintainer on Ether. I just ordered the phone. 129.00 for a phone with these specs. Couldn't pass it up. I'm sure you will eventually make AICP stable. Thank you for your honesty.

CyanogenMod 12/Android L Discussion

Hello everybody.
So I was wondering, when CyanogenMod 12 comes out, will they still support all of the devices they have been supporting? Or at least, in specific, our device? I can't imagine why'd they drop support.
Also, I hear in the new Android version, the Linux 3.10 kernel is being used. As opposed to the current 3.4 kernel we are using. Does anybody know about any significant changes between the two?
This is very exciting if/when we get this on our device I personally will just wait on a CM or AOSP version of Android as stock never really does it for me.
I don't know, but the more I think about it, the more excited I get (also the more apprehensive I get since I'll have to upgrade my kernel sources).
I know I probably shouldn't bring this up, but I also can't wait to blow my friend's new iOS 8 update out of the water with CM12/L (Not like CM11 doesn't already do that )

You'll have me doing the little bit I can for this device for the next 8-9 months I'm stuck with this thing
Don't worry about developing ROMs, all you really need to know is how to compile and maintain. I plan to attempt at some unofficial builds of a ROM or two once I can deem my kernel as done. But don't worry, the LG OGP is definitely booming with activity right now, and will probably only get better with the following months to come.
We already have:
Gummy
PAC
Beanstalk
CM11
AOKP
AICP
Vanir
and a pretty good range of stock ROMs.
Soon (and I mean within a month or so) I hope to add Carbon and Paranoid Android to this list, but we will have to see. I do not know how to compile unofficially or much about it, but it doesn't look extremely difficult. So my hopes are high.
Plus, as this device drops in price, we may get some more people to keep development for this device relevant. Although I did not see our device in the local AT&T store last time I was there...
We have a beautiful phone with the processing power to last as a quality device for another year at least. LG makes some pretty nice stuff.
Unfortunately, we will be seeing more and more of our users leave as the months drag on as this phone gains age
We'll have to see who lasts the longest with this phone as their primary device... lol.
I suspect we will reach our peek in ROMs soon a few months after Android L is up and running. Just my guess though.
Shayne has a good point though, now is definitely the time to start. So better hit the tutorials!

If you could keep Beanstalk going for our device if development stops I would greatly appreciate it. I'll try and help out too when I learn how in case development does stop.

It seems as though a lot of ROMs by that particular dev get abandoned eventually... but that's none of my business.
Yes AICP would be a great one to start on, first thing is first though, rjm, get yourself on a Linux VM or a Linux computer. Also, I hope you have some decent specs or it'll be hell trying to do it.
For example, I have an AMD FX-6350, so I have 6 cores in my system. I can allocate 4 to my VM
And you'll want some RAM, too. Like 8 GB so if you're using a VM you can allocate 4 as well.
For the distro I suggest using Linux Mint 64-bit (has to be 64-bit).
And I really hope your host OS is 64-bit, because otherwise you are probably incapable of compiling ROMs.
Best of luck!
P.S: I downloaded Carbon sources today. We'll see how that goes.
Oh also be sure you have PLENTY of free space, those sources love hogging space. I just cleaned out my old VM and set up a new one with 200 GB of space allocated. Thank God for Terabyte HDDs
Staying on topic, the L/5.0 SDK was released today. Approx. two weeks until the official Nexus release, and hopefully not too long until we get a taste of that afterwards.
KitKat was great (it felt like the smoothest Android experience ever when I flashed my first KK ROM) but I'm ready for Lollipop!
Material design looks interesting, although I gotta say... the circle triangle square virtual buttons aren't the best design choice imo. Maybe it's to make switching from an iPhone to an Android easier for the iUsers that find the current system to difficult to understand :laugh: They sure like their shapes of rounded edge squares and circles.
I'm not kidding, actually. A friend of mine steals my phone all the time and she cannot figure out PIE to save her life...

I'm pretty sure Beanstalk only releases stable updates. From what I remember there aren't any nightlies, as it sometimes is months before a new update is released. That is another reason why I like Beanstalk better than other ROMs.

Probably a sort of noobish question, but anyway many roms are cm-based (including beanstalk), and even aokp is cm enabled. How dependent are these roms on cm, basically meaning could they sustain themselves without cm continuing support too?

I think CM official support is close to vital for these ROMs, mainly for the kernel, but also because they update the device thingy you use to build ROMs I do believe.
I am 90% sure we will receive updates from CM though. They sure know how to take care of their devices.
Any custom ROM will do, if we are talking about testing the new Android L. What's bothering me is the support for F240x devices. If CM, Beanstalk, VANIR/COMMOTIO or AICP (the one I am using for a long period of time), will release an update, will there be a KERNEL or ROM that will work for the F240x?

I really hope it is for your sake. Luckily the dev that makes F240 ROMs for you guys seems to know what he's doing, and I'm sure he'll keep working for you. As long as e980 has support he can use that kernel and use it for F240.

I own a OnePlus One and i was thinking about buy it as well but for a familiar, not for me and It's clearly that this device is far away from the OPO development, and it surprised me because it's a great device.
Just curious, and sorry for the little off-topic: how is it in terms of performance, camera and screen compared to the OPO?
Do you know if there are any update about this? I'm thinking about buy it if we can get official CM14.1 builds in some near future.
Basically I'm interested in buying it only if there are a fully functional custom rom like CM, slim or omni.

Yeah i saw that at least in that forum there is much more activity, but even with that the development is not as good as i would like to see. Maybe I'm quite exigent with this but i think this device has a really good potential since his source code was published some few months ago and i don't see big results for now.
For example, the only official builds from a recognized development group i saw was from Mokee. That doesn't need to mean the development is bad but also I'm seeing some people complaining about some minor issues in unofficial builds like CM13.

I see what you mean though don't agree with. If you talk of chinese cm13 then yes.
Just take the latest release from fedor and you'll be good. I am myself crafting a rom from the different guys release.
Right now hardcore devs (meaning doing that full time) are on cm14.1 port, which is already running but having some issues.
CM 13 is mostly stable, in the coming weeks you should have some even better releases coming out.

Which Developers Are Definitely Getting The OnePlus 5T In The Near Future ?

Just like the title says really. Which developers will be definitely getting the OP 5T in the near future ?
I really wonder if unified builds are going to be possible with 5 and 5T. What really matters to me is the community support more than the device itself. On my OP3 I had great support and I think now it's time to change the device. I'm considering 5T but I need to see my favorite ROMs here first.
second this.

Especially Resurrection Remix Official and/or Zenity Tweaks version. I can't live without RR's customizations and QS toggles.
Yes I also need the dev support more than anything else. Besides that it is also a great device. Hope sultan makes his los.
If PureFusion ends up coming, I'm definitely making the switch to 5T
Me
(even if I'm still not consider myself as a real dev )
@martinusbe said he's getting one (great dev of GZOSP and Validus ROMs).
I like using carrier features on T-Mobile (e.g. WIFi calling and VoLTE). Anyone feel that FreedomOS will port over by someone?
Blu_Spark has already arrived, with some publicity:
https://www.xda-developers.com/blu-spark-oneplus-5t/
@eng.stk
First to arrive must be in the Fast Lane !
I really hope that some Roms start to appear next week so I can buy it
I think that Lord Boeffla might be coming to the 5T as well, not 100% sure but he did say he will know in the coming days. Fingers crossed, I've used his kernels since my Galaxy S3.
Sent from my brain, to my thumbs, and entered into a OnePlus 2 input device.
Alex Cruz (and possibly another dev), a DirtyUnicorns dev has confirmed that he purchased the 5T. I know they don't like being on this site for various reasons, but it's nice to know DU will be coming for the 5T!
OnePlus software team said OxygenOS will have unified builds so 5 builds should be able to work on 5T also
I'm really hoping FreedomOS comes to the 5T.

There are no other custom ROMs yet, but there are several factors that make me believe that there will soon be good support for this device.
First off, xiaomi most of the time doesn't wait long these days before revealing their kernel source.
Furthermore this device is a typical mid-ranger that in a way scratches the upper range, so it is predestined to make people curious about its potential and is very affordable at the same time.
We don't have cristal balls for these questions, but for me the odds are good - otherwise I wouldn't have bought this phone myself ; )
I think this device has better chance to get custom ROMs than 5G version, because it has same chipset like Redmi Note 10 Pro or Poco X3 NFC. These devices already have custom ROMs, so it is possible to make custom ROM with the help of their device trees. I will maybe buy this phone and attempt to do it once I have more free time, however I would be glad if more experienced developer did it
I'm really hoping for PixelPlusUI or Pixel Experience on this. would be perfect.
I am not at all confident for this device, about custom roms.
RN 10 Pro came out not even a month earlier, and you can already find twrp plus many roms in development.
For Mi 11 Lite nothing yet...and I don't think it's much harder to mod.
It is a device born unlucky in my opinion, they have produced few and sells little, and will have little or zero community.
I'll wait another month, and if nothing comes out I'll sell it.
It's a pity, because i really love form factor and weight, and is fast and reliable. But for me modding is essential, i dont like miui.

Uh... actually that's a custom Kernel, not a custom ROM.

It usually starts right there.
No kernel for the device, no custom rom.
This is great news!
Oh, and you can already find a courbet device repo there btw : )

Ahhh, you doubters can see now.
Unofficial CrDroid an PE have just been released on the telegram channel (sorry, not allowed to post the link here, but you will figure it out).
I flashed CrDroid and it is super stable and feature-rich - total recommendation!

Question about Nightly builds: Are they stable enough for daily use?

Hi all!
I have been following and using LineageOS (before that Cyanogenmod) for a long time now, and I am looking into buying a new phone soon. I was scrolling around in the device downloads webpage, where I found almost only "nightly" builds.
Since I know that "nightly" does not mean "stable", does that mean that none of the builds are meant or ready for daily use? I ran LineageOS a long time ago on my Oneplus 7 Pro, but it was not stable enough feature-wise compared to OxygenOS. What is your experience running LineageOS on a modern phone these days?
I have looked around on this forum and this question popped up multiple times unanswered, although they are pretty old:
When to expect a stable version?
Hi, I am looking for a new phone and I want then install LineageOS on it and remove the pre-installed Android. But I also want a phone that is working and not one I have to solve problems and looking for new updates every day. So in short: I...

Any news on whether there will be Stable/Snapshot/M builds?
I haven't been able to find an answer on this topic. Lineage has announced and released weeklies and experimental builds, but haven't actually said those would be the only types of builds. Anybody know?
forum.xda-developers.com
If the question is answered somewhere obvious, sorry in advance. Please let me know.
Thanks!
Depends, I am quite happy with the official nightlies and deem them pretty stable. Just make sure to check any relevant threads (per device, either here on XDA or elsewhere).
Sometimes however, unofficial ones are better, eg if you want to use F2FS or other tweaks.
PS: Perhaps I am biased but why would I use a communist chinese OS on my phone? What feature can be that important? It's hard enough to escape google...

Thanks for your input and opinion! Good to hear you have a stable experience.

Very true, that alone should be worth it. You say Chinese, what phone do you use? Perhaps Xiaomi?

Yes and no. Personally I prefer my Fairphone "über alles" but a friend of mine wanted to replace her old S5 and the choice was Xiaomi Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G with 8GB.
Fun Fact: People selling it now for 120-160€, obviously without realizing they can put LOS20 on it
It's actually a pretty good phone and very light with just 160g.
May I ask how you did end up with OnePlus?
Friends kept pestering me with it ever since the first one but I just can't stand a phone without DualSIM and/or memory card. And the mafia like invite system back then didn't improve my opinion of them much either
I daily drove LOS on Mi 9 SE before. Now I daily drive LOS on Mi 11 LE (lisa). LOS is stable for me and can replace stock MIUI. The only problem I have on lisa is adaptive brightness. https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/5899 . Maintainer said it's caused by light sensor behind the screen. https://t.me/giostuffs/42366
LineageOS Device Support Requirements make sure hardware and software work well. You don't have to worry too much about stability and quality. I don't see such strict requirements in other custom rom project. https://github.com/LineageOS/charter/blob/master/device-support-requirements.md
"nightly" is confusing. Actually, LOS builds are updated weekly. "nightly" is the only release now. I consider it as stable release. It's nice to have weekly updates so that we can quickly get monthly security updates.

Seems they just kicked many open tickets in LOS19 without getting to it. As for me, I still have to find any LOS on any phone where it actually works. Alas, even stockROMs fail in this.
