according to Qualcomm (not sure how reliable the resource is)

Yes, this is somewhat old news now. Qualcomm dropped drivers for the Adreno 3xx series used on the 800/801, so we have no Vulkan support and thus cannot pass CTS. Therefore, we will have no official Nougat builds. I'm sure people are working on making the drivers from Marshmallow work (maybe not with Vulkan, but still at least be able to boot and have graphics work, etc.).
Oneplus One is in the official list of devices that will receive cm14, so i guess that driver support won't be a problem

"Official" list? Source? AFAIK CM hasn't posted anything since Nougat source dropped

Has anyone noticed that google started working with the 3.10 mainline kernel?
Do you guys believe that we may get lucky and get android 4.4 with all the performance fixes of 3.10 or even 3.11?
Kernel(Google Source)
I hope so *crossing fingers*
Sorry but no. Couple reasons I know this: #1: as of two months ago, the nexus 5 was still using 3.4, so I doubt they'd change this late in development meaning the N4 wouldn't either. Also, Qualcomm got rid of support for 8960 and 8064 devices and has not updated their arch specific drivers. I highly doubt that Google would update a Qualcomm chipset that is deprecated. That would be a lot of work for them and the SOC manufacturer creates the majority of the kernel. I am working on 3.10 myself, but don't expect it from Google and Qualcomm for awhile. Qualcomm is only targeting APQ8084, MSM8974, MSM8610, and MSM8226 in 3.10. They explicitly removed support for other chipsets such as our 8064.
I guess most people don't care about which driver is included in ROMS as new ROMS are always coming out or being improved upon and with all of the details and specs being listed, driver versions are never mentioned. Is the v84 driver all that we can hope for, nothing newer? I've flashed countless ROMS an never saw anything newer.
Driver versions do matter, I wish they would be listed somewhere in the ROM description.
Somebody has to develop these drivers. You can't just go to a website a download them like nvidia drivers.
And as far as I know, Qualcomm only release the source code for the chips, leaving the development up to whoever is interested.
Is there not an updated driver newer than v84 that already works with the S4? The S4 has gotten official Lolipop OS upgrades, isn't there better drivers already made to work?
Surely Marshmellow OSs have better drivers. Are those drivers not able to be used on the S4? I understand someone has to do the work, but every other aspect of custom roms are being made to function, are GPU drivers just being overlooked as not being important enough to spend time on?
I don't know how this works. But if they could I think they would.
Obviously, Qualcomm has to update the drivers, as it's their chip. So maybe they dropped support for the Snapdragon 600 chips. I don't know.

drivers from another GPU wouldn't be any use to us.

:laugh:
Could this have been posted with the unofficial CyanogenMod 14 or other Nougat roms?
ohhh yes i read many news that it is being tested for Nougat !!!!!! If LG actually did this... it is going to take the update support carpet from Google who dumped its old devices and will make my next phone be LG !
And Sprint's variant will still be stuck on Lollipop
I'm pretty sure that's BS and will come out as no... Im sure they can't update Nougat itself has dropped support for our chipset... Z3 had working betas for the Nougat but they had to stop Nougat to comply with Google and stopped supporting Z3

Xing my fingers!
guys, the SD801 in the G3 is not supported by Qualcom anymore and they refused to release a Vulcan graphic driver.
Becvause of this, no phones with this chipset will be allowed by Google to officially support Nougat.

yes but people have already got nougat on to the phones which means it is still possible to run nougat on the chipset/phone

allowed by google? or qualcomm ? I know it is qualcomm problem.
It is probably some unofficial android 7 based on cm...
Not really, the problem is the fact the phone must have vlukan support for android 7 certification, but Qualcomm / Google haven't make the necessary to run vulkan on older snapdragon, so no vulkan, no certification for android 7, so no official update unless LG remidy the problem
Guys is it possible for cm 14 official?
Fingers crossed ?

CM14 is already being tested. So, yes, CM 14 official it's on his way
It says here that only devices with Snapdragon 800/801 will not be supported
http://www.androidauthority.com/android-7-0-snapdragon-800-801-712930/
However, there's another variant of LG G3 with a higher chip version (LG G3 Cat6 LTE) with Snapdragon 805 chip.
So no more official support from google? it doesnt matter anyways since devs will make ROMs based on Android 7 here. Sadly not all performance-related features will support it due to the chipset.
Still glad they are testing it out

you dont need vulcan api so qualcom dont need to release new drivers
Geekbench only saves bench from orginal rom no any custom :]
I hope LG will release this room soon
Does anybody tried this ??

It seems a fake.
They wrote about XDA-DEVELOPER forum, but we are here and there is nothing.
I try to download the files, but it ask me money for the download.
fake,
Android 7 Nougat need a SoC compatible with Vulkan 1.0 API ... And the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 of the yotaphone is too old to have this support ... so ... Nougat probably never come on yotaphone 2 .... :'(

Nougat has been ported on various purportedly unsupported devices, Legacy OS is a good example of such endeavours. Even Sony released an extensively functional iteration of Nougat for Xperia Z3 series.
The issues are rather about Google and its policies about Android. An official release of Nougat needs the hardware to pass Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) and Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) and mandates hardware-backed full-disk encryption even at file level. Ignoring these prerequisites will definitely invite legal issues if not performance issues to begin with.
I think that A 7.0 isn't as needed as more optimized A 6.0.1 for example EPD screen and battery life as 4.4 and 5.0 have etc.
Nobody dares to test it?

Porting an unsupported OS requires extensive dev support, which is withering away owing to the unpopular status of the device and its age.

No, with every release of new Android version begins the proliferation of spam sites that claim to offer the latest version of the OS for virtually any device. These sites usually have the name of the OS in its address. They're nothing more than click-baits. If there was such a thing for Yotaphone, it would be either on 4PDA or XDA or any other reputed site.
It's a fake site, don't try!
Sony released remote play for all Android phones this week with compatibility from Android 5.0 onward but it's recommend to have Android 10 to use a DS4 due to better compatibility drivers. Is there any chance you could rip the drivers from the OnePlus 7 or 7 pro on OOS 10 put them in a zip and flash them through TWRP or magisk?
I think you just need to wait since the official update is coming this month of October.

Not to argue specifics but the beta comes out this month and the full release is next month. But I understand your point. I still want to know if it's possible to do it though.
Drivers are in the kernel in Linux based systems. You can't just 'rip' the drivers. You have to find a kernel Dev willing to work this with a soon deprecated Android version... with yet unpublished oos kernel sources, only AOSP ones. Not easy
That's why it will be more easy to wait beta / official OOS. Or perhaps be ready to try one of the Android 10 ROMs floating around there

Understandable thanks for the answer, I thought it was more like the adreno drivers that you could update through TWRP or magisk I forget which one I just remember doing it on my V20.
