CyanogenMod for OnePlus 3T ?! - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

After I've reat a lot of threads about the OnePlus 3T, it seems that CM13 for the OnePlus 3 isn't compatible to the OnePlus 3T. Unfortunately there don't even exists a correponding thread in the CM forum for the OnePlus 3T. Even more unfortunately - I've also reat, that the developers won't support the OnePlus 3T.
Is that true... ore just a bad joke?

that was the only reason I bought 3T Maybe I should return this before my return period is over

Oh, come on...

Things take time.

So, CM isn't compatible with a Snapdragon 821? Because that's the only real difference. I don't think so somehow.....it's more likely that some developers are resentful that OP discontinued the OP3 and started the OP3T and most developers bought a OP3, thus aren't buying a OP3T and make the small changes necessary to make ROMS work on OP3T?

So what about trying to do it yourself =)

I´m interested to learn but if cm needs to be built from scratch, that will be far away from my knowledge
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/help-development-t3508892

I'm almost certain someone will build it at least since the Oneplus 3 is supported. Worst case I will build it myself. Got it to boot on the Huawei P8 so it shouldn't be too difficult for the 3T. I'm more interested in an AOSP build.

I prefer Resurrection remix but cm is a very good start. Do you need to create all the drivers self or how does it work when the first build should be created?

Anyone already working on this? I thought about it, but it would be my first build... could be fun.
I think there are few things like sd 821 which make op3 cm doesn't work on op3t, it should be compatible mostly.
This should help: hxxps://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_oneplus3 hxxps://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

As soon as the device and kernel trees are up RR will be officially supported

And personally. I don't think Source will release until nougat. Why would they release them with nougat less then a month away. Why would Devs spend the time making a rom when nougat is almost here.

If Oneplus 3T and 3 are mostly identical, then could all you really need for CM14.1 would be to edit the script in meta>google>android>script? or is CM not that simple?

That is an incredibly sage observation. If there are developers ready plug the CyanogenMod hole for the 3T (and I'm confident there's at least one or two), it'd be silly for them to plug it with CM13.1. The first CM build the 3T will see is likely 14.1.
If and when it does drop a month or two from now, I'll be abandoning OxygenOS immediately and permanently..

People, DON'T do this

I may have this wrong, but I was looking at CM ROMs over at the oneplus 3 forum (dev), and it appears that the first version of CM wasn't release for a little over 2 months from the release date of the oneplus 3. I wouldn't expect anything quicker over here (if anyone is trying). (well, someone is always trying).
I've built CM12 and 13 on various devices. There are guides all over the place that make it a matter of "process of elimination of errors" just to build, which can take from an hour to forever. (or a week) ; -- Getting it to boot is another thing entirely. You can get all of the useful blobs for the 3t even now from system.img (3.5.3) and build 3.5.3 based ROMs.
People are making the difference between 3t and 3 sound like a gaping chasm, when it's not very clear that there's a significant difference in instruction sets. Maybe the case is more than some developers don't want to support the 3t and all it's associated "problems". (some of those problems are just perceived problems). IF they just do the bare minimum and release 3t ROMs and Kernels then there'll be near chaos with a ton more people whining about something that doesn't work. Since the processor (and GPU) are different, then of course, that'll be a target for whiners that can't handle getting something for free and the few bugs that go with that. The thing that keeps me off of public development (these days) is how much crap I had to listen to while doing it ~3-10 years back.
I'm guessing a "fresh" set of people will do these next iterations of CM-NN.X coming along. Also, it would be somewhat "inspiring" if OnePlus would release those damn Camera sources (or even blobs).

i'm a developer lel...i bought a oneplus3t and i think that port of a oneplus3 rom isn't too difficult, the snapdragon820 and the snapdragon821 are basically the same processor, the only difference is the clock.so..for the building the device tree is identic, what changes is the kernel and the vendor..for the kernel i can use the same patch that cm have used for the oneplus3 so probably i'll support the oneplus3t. My rom isn't a cm based but when we talk about kernels and vendors the rom don't make any difference.

trust me, if you want to port a nougat rom or any versione of android on a non-nexus or on a non-pixel device don't build aosp...build AOKP, DirtyUnicorns (they are aosp based but they have a lot of modifications for non-nexus devices) or at last cm, cm is caf and with a caf base you can try to port the rom but don't belive to make a completly functional rom, for now doesen't exist a nougat kernel for oneplus3t so..if you succesfully build the cm probably will not boot or you could have many other problems.

Cyanogen OS/MOD 13 Discussion

Friends,
The work on Cyanogen OS/MOD 12.1 seems to be stopped.
Developers are working hard on Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
So lets discuss about Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
Add your suggestions, which we want in Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
www .cmxlog. com/12.1/ham
www .cmxlog. com/13/ham
Why there are no changelogs ? last 2 Nigthlys came without any information.
Because developers are moved towards canogenmod 13
Hope next week we get CM13 Nightly`s on our devices
I think I will never buy again a Cyanogen OS phone. Cyanogen OS with MS crap and lame updates. Old S3 get CM13, ZUK Z1 still not get CyanogenMod 13 :/
Note 5 get Android 6, S6 get it and even Huawei roll Android 6 out... Huawei xD

Don't worry. As long as I and JoaoPaulo are around you guys will have the latest Android versions.
Just get our unofficial CM13 build.
It has everything but the fingerprint reader working and even that one is only a matter of time until we get it working.

LOL! Typical for people like you. Go ahead, don't buy. Would you rather like to get constant updates with tons of bugs, or just stable and working OS.
And watch your language here.
Also Huawei is one of the greatest players on the market... You obiviously do not know a thing and all you do is rage on xda.
(Huawei made some ofNEXUS devices also. Would Google let Nexus line to someone stupid?)
Maybe it's your first Cyanogen OS phone but I use CM already for 5 years (CyanogenMod). Huawei got 200 devices, Cyanogen 4-5 and no-cyanogen-phones get CM13 Cyanogen is just clean Android, nothing special like MIUI with ton of tools.
If you can't wait for updates just start building for yourself? So do I. That's one of the opportunities you have with our Zuk Z1. At least everything is working as it should with Cyanogen Mod on it. I had a lot of phones in the past which had Cyanogen Mod but a lot of features wasn't working anymore.

CyanogenMod and CyanogenOS aren't same.
Also, they have scheduled it way before. There was already information when Cyanogen OS 13.1 is coming to this phone before you could buy it. So please just be careful and don't whine about update. Everyone would rather like good and stable update over some quick and buggy update. And only most of premium devices are getting update now , not this price range.

100% True.
To that guy that was talking without knowing anything:
CM13 was scheduled for ZUK Z1 way before i get it, and i get this device like one month ago, but they are working on it offline for sure. They prefer to get a fully working ROM to a device than give it a full buggy one. Me and @MrColdbird just could not wait more until they release their source, and i came from a nexus device (pretty sure you know that i downgraded from android 6.0 to 5.1.1 when swap devices), and we decided to work on 6.0 to give users an early experience of CM13, because we can't handle 5.1.1 anymore.
We made a almost full bringup of 6.0 devtree and kernel, and we made a port from a completely different CAF branch, in about 15 days, imagine in what time can CM do it, as they are maintaining this device. Even CM for Nexus Line and OPO (their big son), have bugs on SystemUI and other things, do you think they will even consider about making builds to another phones?
I think almost android users prefer a 100% working device with less features, than a device with newest Software and filled you bugs.
So are u still arguing?
If you don't like CM devices, just don't SPAM our threads like you have reasons to do so.
Go SPAM your device thread, and leave us alone.

I'm new to this Cyanogen/CM and don't know how Cyanogen updates their phones, but from their page at /support it doesn't look like any of their phones got version marshmallow. Are they reliable with updates? I'm wondering how long will Z1 be supported.
we will wait
i see right now all waiting 6.0 and cm 13
me too and im one from those dont know any thing about flashing but i thank u guys for ur work
and i wait the 6.0 for my zuk
and i want to be helpful
if u want any thing to do with my phone to test or somthing i will do
iam Arabian user for the cm 12.1 now
its very good
waiting ur updates soon as possible
If you are fine without a fingerprint reader for now then you can just run the unofficial CM13. JoaoPaulo will implement the fingerprint reader later in January.
Hey, I really would like to test your CM13 build. You wrote, that it is important to backup the persist-partition, if we want to change back to CM12.1. Can I do this with the 'partition backup & restore' app? And just restore the perisist partition after reflashing CM12.1? Or is it included, when I make nandroid-backup via TWRP? Thank you very much!

You can back it up in a root terminal via the following command.
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img
And no, it's not part of a nandroid backup. But yes, any mean of backing up and restoring partitions should (theoretically) work.
Although I'm not entirely sure that restoring the partition in a running Android OS is possible as the partition might be mounted at the time. Restoring it via fastboot or TWRP will work though.

[Discussion] Android 7.0 Nougat released for Nexus devices!

Seeing as there is no thread for the OP3 discussing Nougat as it pertains to this device, I though I would start a discussion thread.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-nougat-finally-released-get-it-now/
Android 7.0 was released August 22nd 2016 for the Nexus 5X, Pixel C, and Nexus 9 tablet. The factory images are available for download. Interestingly, Google also announced that the LG V20 will be the first device to launch with 7.0, meaning the Marlin and Sailfish nexuses are a bit farther away.
Hopefully OnePlus releases 7.0 for the OP3 sooner rather than later...
Edit: Nexus 6 and 6P have yet to receive OTA, but are expected to receive it soon
Hope they release the source soon so that the custom roms start popping up
What's the typical time frame from update to aosp I thought they were at the same time in the past

Since the OP3 devs are awesome, i'd guess there will be unofficial builds of CM before OnePlus releases the official OOS Nougat build. Although obviously early CM Nougat builds may not be 100% stable, but will obviously improve over time.
Now to wait for the AOSP drop and for someone talented to put together a ROM
Of course a custom ROM will come first, OOS takes far too long for what little changes it has.
I hope @Grarak will do his magic when the sources are available!
CM14 will take a long time (don't quote me on this but I guess it will be somewhere around December)
Jesus I cannot wait to try Nougat
Is it just me waiting for the OOS version of Nougat?
If you go by Android 6 releases, it took Oneplus ~9 months to release it after official release, so I expect the OnePlus 3 to receive Android 7 in May 2017.
AOSP sources have been updated soo. If someone wants to cook something up the resources are there.

yeah, just multiwindow and vr support and little little design changes + some changes to doze. testing the final release on my 5x.
Moreover OP have to adjust the drivers for nougat...
The OP3 ist my daily driver, so i want a stable build.
I dont think oneplus will take longer time to update to android n. They may have learnt their mistakes they did in oneplus 2 and might not repeat this time. This is just my opinion.
If OP releases a stable Nougat build before the end of the year I would consider that a success. More importantly, I'd like them to release their camera source code so that it can be used in Aosp or CM based ROMs

LineageOS for OnePlus 3T - When?

Does anyone know when LineageOS will be released for the OnePlus 3T? So far, I only see the OnePlus 3 supported.
think u might wanna take a look under the 3t roms/kernels and such..
as soon as possible! Don't worrie about this.
You can't Flash the op3 ROM on a op3t right?
If u take a look in the 3t xda thread there are few lineageos roms
As for official Lineage ROMs all of the One Plus devices (1, 2, X, 3) are on the list except the 3T so you will not see an Official LineageOS in the short term (days). Hopefully it will make an appearance soon.
As others have mentioned above, there are Unofficial options Lineage based ROMs that you can try. Within them, there are two categories; unified (3 and 3T) or specific to the 3T.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
dont matter if official or unofficial.
try tugapower 7.1, runs very very well.
The necessary commits are actively being worked on, so it shouldn't be too much longer till we see an official build. Whether they take the unified or dedicated approach, is yet to be seen.

How long it will take for android O custom ROM???

Hi
I was just wondering after release of AOSP Sources , how long it wipp take for stable build of android o for oneplus 3T
after the release of android z
It may be a few months, may be next year. Nobody knows at this point. Official OOS 8.0 Release will be in a few months so a custom rom release could also be around that time

Why do we need oos to push out 8.0 for us to get it with custom ROMs? Thought custom ROMs can be somewhat 'ported' over from some devices or built from the open sources? I was also wondering the same as op, but didn't expect it to take that long. Hopefully it will be sooner than later

I wasn't implying we need to wait for OOS. I was merely stating if OOS is gonna take a few months, Custom Devs might as well. But i do hope I'm wrong. I think either RR or PA would be the first to take it up.
When Android M and N were was released, we started getting custom roms within 1~2 months on OP2. Should be fast than this on OP3T.

RR is based on LineageOS, so that's not gonna happen unless the source updates first.
PA has limited resources meaning it could take a while for them too.
I'm guessing it's gonna be a random dude with an AOSP port with the first alpha in about 3 weeks. Just a guess, so don't count on it.

Because there is little rom development for this device?

Greetings Friends,
I have seen very little development or developers for this device is very rare because the A1 before releasing the Kernel already had development, and this device was already released the kernel but I still see little development.
Yeah i dunno why developers not intrested in this device
How long ago did they start selling these devices?

Longer than A1 when it takes first customs
Before Launching the source code of the A1 Kernel and there were ROMS and Magisk modules for this phone, the participation is very minimal, I think they were all for the RN5.
I just hope developers will have a look at Mi A2. Is it too early to expect development?

Lineage for the A1 started 6 months after the release.
edit: Also the Pie update is near so probably nobody wants to waste time on bringing up a 8.1. based rom.
Another thing is that it has Treble GSI A/B support, so you can install a variety of already popular roms right off the bat. I know a custom kernel is under development that has both overclock and underclock as well. I am currently using the Arrow GSI rom and it works very well. I have xposed and root, I also get way better battery life than with the stock rom. The only bug I have is the front flashlight turns on when I use the front camera. You can flash any of the A/B roms on this site if you want more roms.
It even includes Pie roms and lineage os. I see no reason devs would want to spend time making something that already exists.
They will most likely work on kernel development/tweaks to fix bugs in the already existing treble roms, like the camera bug in the rom I am using.
