Phone for LOS - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hello,
I wanted to choose a phone for LOS but I hesitate between:
Mi 8
One Plus 6
I see that for the moment both have no official support, do you think it will happen for both?
What do you think ?
After I wondered, if I have an older version of stock android and I install a recent version of custom ROM, will it upgrade the kernel version and android?
Thank you

I don't have either devices and your correct with no existing Official LineageOS builds for either device at this point in time but, your best bet is to go with one of the Unofficial builds. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of them as well.
Here's a list of threads that reflects the Unofficial LineageOS for them...
1 Unofficial LineageOS 16.0 build for the OnePlus 6 (enchilada):

Thank you for your help, I see that the official version of LOS is 15.1, how is it that the non-official is in version 16?
If I flash an unofficial rom and the official goes out, I'll have to go into stock-rom and flash the custom rom again?

I don't see any Official LineageOS released yet but, to cross to and from Official to Unofficial would require starting over again.
Device/Firmware specific questions for them should be asked within those threads to receive a more accurate answer.
Good Luck!

This forum is NOT a forum for your to request Lineage for your device! It's a forum for the discussion of development of LineageOS. These thread I'm already seeing pop up about people asking for Lineage posts are ridiculous. This isn't a place to come and ask for people to port ROMs to your device, so please don't treat it as such. Thank you.

Your best bet is to post these questions within the following thread.

As i can tell, the Lineage Team hasn't released any Official LineageOS for the GS6 as of yet.
Regarding any Oreo releases, the following link is the very recent Official Lineage Changelog #15. Please take note of the "Oreo Update" entry.

Lineage OS 14.1 Xiaomi MI5 Download link

Hello, as far as I know, development of LineageOS 14.1 has not stopped but i can only find ROMs until mid-february 2018. After that date I can only find 15.1 Downloads. I'd like to stick with 14.1, are there any places where I can download current 14.1-builds?
Best

I don't have this device but, when the Official LineageOS goes from 14.1 to 15.1, they stop releasing Official Developments.
If you want to continue using the LineageOS 14.1, your only other option is to hopefully locate an Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 development.
After performing a quick search, the only one that I can locate is the following.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3657019
This is probably the best you're going to find unless I had missed one or more that could entirely be possible.
Good Luck!

Nexus 7 2012 (Grouper)?

I can't seem to find any mention of a LineageOS build for the Nexus 7 2012 (grouper). I know there has to be, because I'm running 14.1 on mine right now. Does anyone know where I can find an updated build, or something similarly lightweight?
*Edit* Nevermind! I just saw that I have an unofficial build. So I guess now my question is: any 15.x build for grouper?

There's never been any Official LineageOS builds for this specific device. All that's available to you is the following Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 for your device. There's no LineageOS 15.1 released yet but, that's not to state that there will never be one either.

You can always try to obtain some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device as well.

Looking for copy of LineageOS 14.1 for KLTEDV

After trying LineageOS 15.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900I, kltedv) I found my battery was draining very quickly, only getting 2hrs from full charge. I know that LineageOS 14.1 is easier on the battery life so I would like to install this ROM, however, if I go to lineageoslog.com/14.1/kltedv and try to download the latest available ROM, "lineage-14.1-20180706-nightly-kltedv-signed.zip", all I get is 404's.
I've tried to use Google to find other mirrors, but they all 404.
Does anyone know how I can obtain the latest available version of Lineage OS 14.1 for my kltedv?
Thanks

I don't have this variant myself but, if you looked at the following Official LineageOS downloads area for the kltedv...
https://download.lineageos.org/kltedv
... You'll see that it's not there because, (as with all Official LineageOS builds) when the Lineage Team Maintainer for the kltedv (Haggertk) had began releasing the Official LineageOS 15.1 builds, this marked the end of the Official LineageOS 14.1 releases from that point.
But, you will be able to locate Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 builds for the kltedv on the following link by Haggertk.

Enjoy!

Thankyou, I have installed 14.1 and used it for a few days. Performance is great, however I still only get about 2hrs battery life from a full charge.

I don't have this variant but, the following is the Official LineageOS 14.1 thread that also includes the kltedv device and the Unofficial builds (since Haggertk is the maintainer for this as well) for support and guidance.
