I have a doubt about Custom ROMs, I have a smartphone moto g40 fusion and right now I think updates are very rare in this smartphone so that's why i am thinking about installing custom rom like LineageOS or EvolutionX in moto g40. But I found last info about custom ROM was posted in Moto g40/60 forum was on May 2022 and it too much in past so will I get updates even if I install it right now. And if possible plz explain how update work in custom rom like how devs update them, like do they update only like LineageOS or specifically moto g40/60 LineageOS every time. thanx in advance .

As you can see here, @Raghu varma just updated his build on January 7th. Just remember, since this is an unofficial build you will have to manually update it.

Custom roms are updated at the discretion of the Dev.
They can stop updating at any time, or continue working on it for years.

Then will I have to flash my phone after every update release by Dev working on this phone.. is there any easy way to get update even after dev stop working on this Custom ROM like can I update it?, sorry for asking like this is going to be an easy task but I am just curious that may be it will be just building files from source code after copying updates from google to LineageOS for my phone.

Yes, you would have to manually flash updates, and it requires quite a bit of expertise to build your own updates. The more popular a build is, the more likely it is that it will continue to be maintained.

Would love to help, but I haven't gotten into building my own ROMs yet; I'm a Linux enthusiast, and just started running Lineage OS on my A52 4G and Raspberry Pi. You could try contacting @KonstaT though, he is maintaining a bunch of Lineage OS builds and might be able to help you, or at least point you in the right direction.

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. ?
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
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...

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

Lol you weren't wrong
I understand that it is not easy to compile a ROM and have to see more stuff. But many other devices even YU LETTUCE already have oreo, a developer named Carlos Arriaga who compiled LINEAGE OS 15 FO MOTO G1 mentioned that this device should already have oreo. they could mention that it is what prevents us from having oreo. if it is the need to have testers there are many people interested.
Forgive me for posting here, but I needed answers.

Sure, but I'm not a developer xD
LeEcos dev team is too small, modifications are too large there are finance troubles. Maybe we'll get Nougat, but we should look at moders work. There will be custom Oreo soon.
Leeco will never update he's devices....just they don't have money,cheap phones no support that is all.
The last thing which is needed when a new android version gets released are testers.
What we really need is more active and good developers.

Why did you post this here? Obviously it is a question or discussion.
So I searched some things and hopefully this will clear your doubts.
I'll be going through every popular ROM for this device.
Its been 4 months since OmniROM Oreo build and I truly believe that there will not be any more of OmniROM for the Find7 as there has been no changes in the repo. I am thankful for all the support the devs provided for this device for past 2-3 years. This and Nameless were two ROMs that supported LVMs.
I am also positive that NamelessROM is dead as well (even though the dev said he's working on it 30 weeks ago https://plus.google.com/+AlexanderMartinz/posts/N1Fmfc25iks there has been no changes in its source since a year approximately. Also, he's a bit secretive when asked to disclose his progress of ROMs.
AICP devs have already deleted all the Find7 ROM zip files from their website (http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=find7). No changes in the source after Dec 2017 either (https://github.com/AICP/device_oppo_find7).
ResurrectionRemix ROM is dead for Find7 as well. They are busy making 8.1 ROMs for OP5T.
MokeeROM and LineageOS 14.1 are still active for 7.1.2. As we all know, none of them support LVM/Unified storage.
Our only hope LineageOS 15.1, is still in development. I've seen its changlog and they seem to be working on it.
(I'm referring to the device specific changlogs - https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_oppo_msm8974 and https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_oppo_common.
crDroid will make a build only after LineageOS 15.1 is released. As of now they've put the device into "dropped" categories (https://plus.google.com/108033353751385883417/posts/V1MAec8qN1D).
Oppo Find 7
If I'm being honest, I've been running 2.1.5 color os and its been working fine for the past 3 years. I've tried custom roms but they just don't tend to work whether that's with the LVM or other features.
The phone itself is still an amazing phone even in 2018 especially the camera! :good:
I mean tell me one thing this phone cannot do?
The main reason why I personally think they have stopped giving support to mobile phones is because of the money that they are spending on advertisement especially in India where the entire Indian cricket team has OPPO labelled on their jersey. But, also the amount of advertising money they have spent to make the brand more aware in ASIA/Europe.
As for the OPPO Find 7 in my opinion is still one of the flagship device on the market.
I am looking for a new rom and a new battery but I can't find something. Also the oppo Europe community has been deleted from website..
still okay

Rest In Peace Oppo Find 7 - March 2014-2018
Now if you're like me and want to buy a device that has a great development community, don't ever buy Oppo again. The company demonstrated many innovative solutions and features in their older devices such as Find series and the N series but as of now they're completely against any third party development for their devices. They don't release sources like they used to (especially camera blobs) and want to focus on copying other brands.

Thank you very much for your comprehensive interesting summary. I did not know Oppo switched to consumer unfriendly mode. I am going to rethink buying an OP 5. Although I have to admit a Find 7a with omni 7.1.2. is running just fine, maybe another one or two years.

AOKP is still on, but nougat http://aokp.co/devices/find7
Is this AOKP work on Find 7a or its only for 7? Also are there any instructions on how to install it? Now i have 2.1.5i ColorOs with Supersu root installed. Can i have magisk instead?
Oppo cut off all international activities and projects because OnePlus now handles it for them. They know that Oppo and ColorOS can't appeal to the international market, which is why OnePlus has the whole stock android thing (and why OnePlus isn't very active in China. Oppo handles that side of the market).
I'm still hoping on Lineage btw.
My telephone rest here in front of me....
Still have Omnirom 6 with stock camera and other stuff....works like a champ!
But now i have a Mi NOte 3 to play.....still, Oppo was my best phone ever!

That doesn't mean much either. My Nexus hasn't seen any device specific change for a while now, still I'm confident that development is still going on.
I looked on Gerrit and Find7 has been promoted to 15.1, so fingers crossed the next build (tmr) is Oreo.

temp fix if you can't flash any LOS15.1 based rom:
in file : META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
remove the first a few lines started with ASSERT. They are checking if the zip is actually for the device. but the twrp we have for Chinese unified partition can't handle the check properly. just remove the check, and you will have oreo 8.1.

I don't think any development is going on, as the official Oreo is came with stable version and pie is the latest Android version. So pie is the development, Oreo should be no more.

is a group is by telegram, you will have to enter one and ask for the group of testers or speak directly with @AyamDobhal you have to be willing to test what is published and know how to take logs.
would we be able to install a non miui rom on this phone?
Sure. But there isn't any out right now. Development has been slow because many reasons including kernel source not being released fully initially and phone being bricked way too easily with test builds. If you're looking to buy the phone with hopes of flashing a custom ROM, go for the Mi 9T Pro instead. If you already have the phone, be patient for a while.
There's hope from POSP dev, he's actually tried hard building a rom for this device despite getting bricked so many times. Still in progress, be patient.

The N8pro is known to work at the moment after being flashed with that particular ROM, but it really needs to be tested for bugs before it gets promoted as an option.
There are also some other ROMs that derive from PHH's AOSP GSI ROM that could possibly work on the N8pro such as LineageOS 16, Resurrection Remix, and HavocOS
