Someone posted on Lenovo's website asking about the Android beta program and the X4 (since it's a Project Fi phone) and was given a response that only the Nexus and Pixel devices can be part of the beta program.
How is that possible when the Samsung S8 has already got a second Oreo beta?
The AOSP Developer beta program is only available for Pixel & Nexus devices. This is a bone-stock, cutting-edge version of Android that is meant for development purposes, and is provided by Google directly.
Now that Oreo is released, and the AOSP sources are updated to 8.0, Samsung has taken the Oreo source and upgraded their own version of the phone software. This includes their custom software, bixby, etc. They are in the process of updating their entire current phone line from Nougat to Oreo, and they need beta testers. This is a totally different "Beta" program.
EDIT: clarification.
Hello,
I have the inofficial lineage OS 14.1 installed on my HTC One Mini 2. This version was developed and published by nightcore500 in this forum.
This LineageOS version was last updated in July 18. Will further updates follow or is Lineage 14.1 outdated already which might be a considerable security risk?
If no further updates will follow what do you recommend - change to a newer widespread device for which newer LineageOS versions (15.1 or 16.x) are published and an extended release of updates is more likely?
Thank you for some hints and advice.
I wait for sometime now (4 months) to see at least a beta stage rom for EMUI 8 - Based Builds from OpenKirin Project, the last build is the 5.2 alpha of the OMNI ROM.
Sadly, I see that all the attention is shifted to the EMUI 9 - Based Builds, no more updates for our beloved P9.
It will be a great deal to see Resurrection Remix OS 7.0.1 Beta 1 builded for EMUI 8 - Based Builds.
Could someone from the contributors, maybe @surdu_petru share some more info, is this project dead for EMUI 8, we will ever see some updates in the near future?
I know that is not indicated to ask for ETA, but it will be a great info so we know if we need to wait a little bit more time or move forward.
Thanks to all team members for the OpenKirin Project!

Yes this is true as they appear from almost a long time did not issue or update for emui 8 They may seem disappointed with us , According to openkirin Now they focus on emui 9 , Also at the same time they say there are releases or updates for emui 8 .
At least if they released their hi3650 patches we would be able to make our own GSIs...
Seems that we are one more time skipped...
OpenKirin Project released EMUI 9-based Build of OmniROM Beta 5 but no EMUI 8-based Build.
@OldDroid , @XePeleato , @surdu_petru , @irony_delerium can you please tell us if we will see any EMUI 8-based Builds or the project goes forward only with EMUI 9-based Build?
@Wattsensi Bro of which developer's lineage 16 are you using and do it require any patch to boot?
I see some launches on https://openkirin.net/download/ for the EMUI 9 devices AEX Beta 1 P1.
For the EMUI 8 devices nothing, no love at all?
I would love to see android 10 running on this device, it's the last in line Dual SIM Full Active, and this is what I love most on this device, also the smaller screen, I don't like the current sizes (way too big for my pockets).

I was using AndyYan LineageOS but install the one that appears here instead, it's much better despite having some issues with headphone jack sound not switching automatically. It has fully functional Camera, NFC, Bluetooth and mobile network. If you can use a manual sound switcher for now you can use it right now, just flash and go. One thing though, this ROM uses MicroG and Aurora Store instead of Gapps, if you don't mind about giving up gapps. Safetynet passing is not guaranteed. AOSP Camera works perfect.
I'm confident the issues above will be solved by the developer with enough time and people sending dmesg logs of their problems.

You’re talking about Andyan's LOS17 for treble devices? I flashed Andyan's LOS17, Camera didn’t work for me.

Nice! I'll still stay on the MicroG rom though, but it is indeed a better base than Omni even though it is less customizable.
LineageOS 16.0 Build 2 Released April 15, 2020 , with play store installer. replace huawei camera with "huawei-generic-google-camera" for huawei devices and working perfect!
[ROM][Treble][microG]LineageOS 16.0 for HUAWEI P9 is more optimized but microG not well for me and playstore it cannot be installed ( error )
Color OS has already come up with customization and better looks. After the last Color OS version - Color OS 11, The Color OS 12 was launched in China a few days ago. However, this time it has been officially announced that The Colour OS 12 will be launched globally on October 11. Although it is Android 11 besed, the update will be given later for Android 12
Yes, as you can see it's based on Android 12.
There used to be an early Alpha version that was still based on Android 11.
But the current beta isn't anymore.
[Thread Locked] This discussion already exists here: Testing ColorOS 12, any questions?
Is there an official LineageOS 18.1 build for Redfin? On the wiki device info page they mention 18.1 is supported, but the only ROM links are either 19.1 or 20.
All I've been able to find is an unofficial build from 2021.
I'm asking because if there is an official build that is still getting updates (security only would be fine by me), I'd switch to it in a second.
Or is my only option to build the ROM myself?

LineageOS 18.1 seems outdated, do upgrade to 19.1 or later.
I simply hate the look and function of Android 12 (I've tried mods - no joy). 11 does everything I need (which isn't much beyond basic functions, TBH) perfectly fine. Hell, I'd rather use Oreo if that was an option
