Got to give it some time. My 5T sat in the box unused for a few months because no custom roms were available. Heck the 6 still doesn't even have official Lineage support.
That being said development support is the only reason I buy OnePlus.
People please understand that custom ROM development is dead!!! sure you can bootloader unlock install TWRP and mods but development will never amount to much compared to the hay days of XDA. ..it's over

The devs are tired of Oneplus. The times are over at Oneplus. At 6 there is hardly anything and that after months. The 6t will get worse.

I hope not. I switched to the 5T after Google dropped ended the Nexus line. Just picked up the 6T hoping devlopement would pick up like it did for the 5T. If development ends up going nowhere this will be my last OnePlus device and I go back to my hard and fast rule of not purchasing any device without Lineage support. No more hoping for it down the road.
My next Phone is a Pixel. I will sell my 6t and buy the Pixel 3 XL. Better Dev support, faster update and better Camera.

From what I've seen Pixels get very little development support until they are pretty old. The Pixel 3 doesn't have very much development either at the moment.

What sort of development are you guys looking for?
One+ 6T is "almost" stock android.
I came from an S8 where I was dev for the following ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/rom-googlewiz-oreo-extreme-debloat-t3750641
It took me just a few hours to have the same ROM on the 6T, including debloating some of the One+ software which is IMHO pretty useless.
So now my One+ 6T looks and feels like a Pixel.
I can try to make a flashable rom for 6T out of it but I need to study a bit ... I did most of steps manually so I don't have a flashable zip.
Let me know if there would be interest in that.

I am most definitely interested, however, I have the TMobile variant. Is there a possibility of unlocking and rooting in the future without TMobile unlocking for me?
Custom ROM development definitely isn't what it used to be, however we'll see a few in the coming months. Anyone know if DU is supporting the 6t? I'm not following them on G+ anymore since they weren't supporting my last device.

Yes. All phones launching with Oreo & above will have treble support.
Seeing as we now have a more than serviceable TWRP that can decrypt and a growing customer base of one plus users on the 6T, I would venture to guess development will be ramping up very soon.

Yep I owned a Pixel XL and OnePlus 3 at the same time almost nothing going on in the pixel section but the OP3 section was thriving plenty of development going on.
There was a time that custom roms were so much better than stock roms, but nowadays many stock roms are better. They tend to be better with cameras rather than the generic cam that comes with a custom rom, they tend to also have better battery life as the rom is usually optimized for that specific device. There are many other things. About the only reason to root nowadays is to get rid of bloat and certain system files, as well as, modding your device with various mods like majisk and substratum. So I wouldn't expect a lot in the way of custom rom development. Gone are the days of Nexus and Note 4 development. Those days were a flashaholics dream!

I've got this feeling, after the sad goodbye of dear @pappschumpfl, that development support for this beloved and wonderful device is weaning and slowly but surely disappearing. Checking the development section for other xiaomi devices like redmi note 4 or mi6 you can see a lot more movement, discussion and activity.
Anyway, just makes me sad this feeling and I believe it is not only a feeling... With the coming of Mix 2 it will probably get worse. Or maybe with the Mix getting cheaper it will change for the better in the future? What are your thoughts on this people?
There is of course AICP and those guys work is fantastic! But they are mostly alone right now...
Im pretty sure he meant that its his final Nougat rom, as everyone building roms for any device has now moved on to Oreo, so Im guessing we will see more updates once the Oreo roms have been figured out...
As you can see there are a fair amount of roms for the Mi Mix.......

Well none of them are maintaining their builds except for BitO, who's given us Multirom and a fantastic Kernel :victory:
As for Papps he got a Note 8 and I have no idea if he's gona be building an Oreo rom for lithium. He doesn't have to of course.
Anyway, maybe you are right

I think this was inevitable with the Mix being a niche device.
I hope we get Oreo eventually, but at least we have some ROMs that are stable.
Final RR is pretty damn good.
Mix was a high end device, high priced device and now it's an outdated device... basically a standard life for a chinese phone on XDA like this one... exemple is based on large sell device, redmi/mi5/mi6... not the same as ur Mix...
Sadly, i think like u... device will go to trash silently...
Also, around the forums we've seen various devs state that we'll see O
IMO, it would be OK just seeing security patches for what we already have.
I have a Nexus 6P and whilst us enthusiasts want the latest and greatest, honestly there isn't anything worth getting too excited about.
I think it will be maintained for awhile, the sort of people who bought the mix are the ones who like to mess and build ROMs (hoping), only time will tell. Let's face it there is nothing worth buying over this at the moment.
but of course, you can also learn how to build roms, etc.

This is a very good point.
For beginners, here is a step by step for LOS: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lithium/build
Its not out dated and won't be for a while yet - it is odd and requires an interest in making roms. I am sure there will be development for the roms, people are so down these days.

And like already mentioned, no point building anymore nougat ROMs and no Oreo build's
Oreo will come in time - people really need to learn to be more patient. It has some very good nougat roms already.
Every 15 days aprox you have a new updated build here https://download.lineageos.org/lithium
Lineage OS oficial is running for lithium.
I don't understand the tittle of the post.
Worst comes to worst Lineage will be released for our Mixs. If it comes down to it, I'll start developing a Rom.

Doesn't work using the cm-15 branch so far... Or I couldn't make it work anyway. Problem is in Mix sources though, not LOS source...
I think Paps might come back. I went to Note 8 but will be back on a new Mix tomorrow. Missing that beautiful 3 side non existent bezel.
I wrote this OP over two months ago and in this time, luckily Papps hasn't abandoned us completely (thanks!) and BitObsession has been providing awesome work and support, several builds, Multitom and a fantastic kernel (thanks!!!). Also AOSiP came and is being maintained I think, so good enough maybe. The guys behind AICP keep also their work (thanks too!).
What seems still so far away that it seems to me we might not see it is Oreo... Anybody with info on wether the good guys at Lineage are working on Oreo for Lithium??
It's of course ok if dev support stays as it is, and developers do what they want with their devices, but it would surely be nice to see our Mix being upgraded to the latest Android as the flagship it is.
Thanks everybody.

No reason to switch. Oneplus 5T has the same chip and doesn't even have treble. Do remember that even the Oneplus 6 (to be launched) won't match the S9 camera. Oneplus is good for raw performance, unlocked bootloader (custom rom support) and less priced than flagships.

not a big shot comparing to stock oos... except... bugs. bugs everywhere at rr (well, as always, nothing new here). LOS..? If you disable oneplus services at stock and install custom kernel from boefala or blu spark (didn't try flash, cuz i dont like its description), then it will be same as at LOS. So, no profits. Its all about interface.
Hope, this will help you.

You're a power user. Can the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Just hoping for the TWRP to come up soon. And for LineageOS-like ROMs to show, too. Eager to try them out and unleash all the phone's potential.
Looking good, though
The phone is keeping up very good actually this is my first budget phone after a long time of using the galaxy series,note series and nexus 6p it is a tad slower at opening closing apps and the gpu is also weaker but it is surprisingly good at keeping them open in the background. The battery life is by far the best so far i ever had, around 8 hours of screen time of actively using the phone. I really hope the development for this phone starts up looking forward to testing roms and helping out in the future.
No custom roms or kernels for now but the Kernel Source is already here and there's already some guides about different tasks, so the developpement community promises to be active, in addition to Android One and the GSI roms!
TWRP official is coming. phh-treble will be updated for rounded corners soon. we'll be selling mi a2 lite with boot loader unlocked (which you can do yourself ofc) and a 2yr warranty that won't be void when you flash roms. we're working on sponsoring opengapps twrp and phh-treble and providing dev support / bug bounties.
let me know if you want anything else...like lineageos official, etc.
hope to see development for the phone in the near future
Official TWRP is on the way, hope to see lineageos taking the same way as twrp.
It's a very nice phone, relatively compact, big battery, volte, easy to unlock, A/B partition...
An official Lineage would be pretty nice to have.
Ordered the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite 4gb/64gb last week. Anxious to see it delivered. My old Nexus 4 is still going strong, almost 5 years later, but it is having glitches and severe battery issues when I run GPS and maps. The other day, it reset itself and wiped all my user photos. Most were already backed-up, but still. It runs Android 7.1.2, otherwise. So, time to move on with a new phone.

I have never owned a phone which can't be rooted starting with the likes of htc desire upwards then switched to chinese brands starting with redmi note 2 all have supported custom roms/roots.
This is the only one that has had very poor support.
I don't agree regarding budget cheapest 4gb/64gb version i saw for was about £145 for that price Redmi note 6 Pro is better value.
I don't expect much from this 6 months past and not even stable recovery/root and you would think some one would of done even a basic miui port (even original firmware has lots of issues still with slow updates compared to other android one phones)

Historically, how has the development been on the OnePlus devices? I am torn between a Pixel 3 XL and going the cheaper route and going with a OnePlus 6t for the price savings, more RAM, and more advanced technology, but don't want to go to a phone that lacks custom ROM choices and less active US development.

Oneplus 6 got released few months ago...
They are already about 15 ROMs & 10 custom kernels to try.
So yes ..great development
Generally very good although the camera is a bit downgraded when running AOSP due to the way it is coded on OnePlus' side.
The only unknown is how the code for the inscreen fingerprint scanner will be handled/ported.

If you want ROMs, go with Oneplus. Pixel ROMs have been slow to show and few/far between.
I have a Pixel 2 XL and the ROM scene is abysmal compared to the Nexus days - likely due to the cost of the devices. Many are claiming the OnePlus devices are the "New Nexus" line...and from looking at their forums, I'd have to agree with that assessment.
I'm getting the 6T the day it launches on T-mobile and passing the P2XL down to another family member.

OnePlus has got huge development support. I can assure you great development for 6T as sooner or later the sources will be unified with the 6. We will come to know more on it as and when the device tree and sources are released after the launch of the device.
Ill see your around here on the 6T forums :highfive:
Thanks Brothers!
I have a Nexus 6P now, but it is way overdue for replacement. I loved the development scene on the 6P, but is all but gone now. Was looking forward to the Pixel 3XL, but the 4GB of RAM, huge notch, and price was worrying me. I have been subscribed to OnePlus since the first one and have always been following new releases, just never jumped in and bought one.
We'll see you guys in a few weeks!
Has someone any idea , about the LED light?
Where is it?..
Don't worry bro there are some many peeps who gonna buy this phone even if there are no Headphone Jack on it, and im pretty sure the 6T gonna have a really rich development community! If it calms you im already started to make some Boot animations (i already made 8 of them they are in still in BETA but i'll able to finish it as soon as i get the phone), Icons, "Charging animation" <- (still don't know how its gonna work but at least the animation done )... So as soon the it's released, those guys who able to give something to the community, they gonna work to make this phone even better!

I've never seen it for the Pixel 2 XL. I thought it was one of the ROMs more for non-Google devices (since they are already "Pure Pixel", so-to-speak).
Pixel Dust ROM is out for it though - might be the same group?
Honestly, the thing that concerns me most about dev on the 6T is whether or not the devs will have an issue getting the in-display fingerprint working on ROMs. That'll be a make-or-break deal.

I've never seen it for the Pixel 2 XL. I thought it was one of the ROMs more for non-Google devices (since they are already "Pure Pixel", so-to-speak).
Pixel Dust ROM is out for it though - might be the same group?

It was very popular on Nexus devices and did make its way to the OG Pixel (XL), but i'm not sure whether things fizzed out. I remember there be a lot of issues with the A/B partition if i'm correct.
Interesting what Devs will do for the fingerprint scanner, otherwise just stick with OxygenOS and flash a custom kernel

Will it be possible for the fingerprint scanner to be ported to custom roms? And if so, how will it perform compared to on OxygenOS?

Sooner or later it will be porter but for actual experience we need to wait for the launch. As per testing the unlock is fairly quick to begin with and with extensive use after a week or so it becomes quicker as the algorithms are adaptive and keep learning your unlock pattern.
To make it even faster you can combine it with face unlock so both tech will be used simultaneously :good:

So basically because of unification there will be much cross development with what is already available for the OP 6, is that right ?

Yes as the development will be unified after the initial stage most of what is available for 6 would be available for the T line as well. So OP has got you covered there :good:
Hi, I would like to purchase a new phone soon or later and I still cannot decide whether OP6T is worth buying, I condider OP7 more expensive and OP6T is right in price where I would expect my future phone. Can it be my new daily driver for several years? Thank you
Had same dilemma 6t or 7! for me it wasn't really much of an improvement to justify the extra picked up a mint unlocked 6T for 249 still a grate phone and will be for a while yet plenty of development going on , unless willing to shell out for the pro then 6T is the one,

I'm happy with my 6T and I haven't seen any compelling reason to upgrade to a 7 or 7 Pro. I'm running the beta, which gives me a peak at new additions before they are rolled out to the public release and my phone is running great.
The 6t is a excellent choice.
I'm loving my 6t, granted I stepped up from a Moto e4 plus.. so a big jump. I haven't really found anything that truly disappoints me to the point of wishing I had something different or newer.
Thank you so much for answers! And what about end of support, is there any year when the phone stops being supported with updates?

Considering that that OnePlus just rolled out security updates and feature updates for the OnePlus 3 thru 5 this week, I'd say you've got a few years of updates to go before EOL
I have had rooted phones since the LG g2. Stuck with LG up until I made the mistake of getting the k20 plus and, lastly the V20. LG broke too many promises. I and, others hung LG up. We were stuck with being able to trust another manufacturer and, hope that source codes, etc be released so that development could be active. I don't know if you plan to root or run mods or anything, if you do this device won't let you down. It is virtually unbrickable. Excellent daily driver that surpasses all of my previous devices.
I bought 6T and have no regrets
OnePlus 6T still rocken!

What about camera?
I too will be buying a 6T from a friend who keeps changing phones so I'm hopefully getting a good deal. Is the stock ROM great or is there some sweet custom ROMs that you think I should try? This probably the wrong thread to ask that.
