What's next, our beloved developers? - Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers

Since wileyfox phones are no more 'officially' supported, which also means there will be no more updates in the future, are we going to see any stable ROMs based on Oreo for wileyfox swift 2(x/+)? perhaps Lineage OS 15? Would be awesome to hear some good news from you guys!
UPDATE: Wileyfox is back, oreo will be available soon (within 3 weeks)

You need to wait for the official release of Android 8 for Wileyfox Swift 2/2 Plus / 2 X and the kernel source code. And then see what happens)

I'm guessing you missed the news that Wileyfox has gone into administration. Official Oreo builds are seeming unlikely at this point, at least for quite a while.

Yes, I only recently found out about this. if officially Android 8 does not appear on this device, then we will have to tight.

I wanted to say that without the kernel source code, it will be hard to do anything. Just I use online translater.

I love my WF but WTF?!? There are a number of developers on this forum who have already approached them directly, perhaps one of those might have some leverage to at least find out what will happen on the development front? I'm going to be a very unhappy bunny if my shiny phone is now a shiny brick

A Lack of updates won't really turn your phone into a Shiny brick, also there is a way more active rom community over on 4pda
Ii myself have been trying to do a port of the newer version of MIUI in my spare time too, then you got VBCerobil who was working on an Oreo build for the Swift, but he has been busy and has not been very active here recenlty
These are the Nougat roms that are over on 4pua
Dot OS
ViperOS
Resurrection Remix OS 5.8.5 (x64)
Mokee 7.1.2
AOSP Extented
crDroid Android
LineageOS 14 arm64 by vm03

if you click where it says "Неофициальные прошивки •" in the boxes you will see the roms under there and Скачать is download, i advise you to use a built in translator, Chrome has one

So you're saying that to keep my phone updated I can use third-party unsigned ROMs containing potentially all manner of trojans and backdoors? No thanks.

Cyanogenmod

Will this phone ever see official Cyanogenmod roms?
No. Le will never release kernel sources. So you will never have pure CM roms. The CM roms will be based on official ones like 16S, 17S etc.

Could you maybe be clearer on this? How likely is it that this is actually going to happen?
I don't know @deadman96385, but i think if a User which such "Experience" in a Community like XDA Developers tells you that the kernel sources may be release, i think you just have to be a Little bit Patient and anytime your dreams will be fulfilled... am i right deadman?

Yes I guess, its just this is the key reason whether I decide to buy this phone or not, dont want to be stuck with chinese roms in the future.
Hi,
Well we already have resurrection remix which is more than decent.
OK... Maybe with a precompiled kernel but still.
I use it as a daily driver and encountered no problems so far except for a slightly too high battery drain.
But a device tree would allow to build other ROMs which would be really cool...
Regards
@deadman96385 it's already in the mid of september.. do you still see any realistic chance that we're gonna see some kernel source or a cyanogenmod in the future. if you do.. of which timeframe do we talk? days, weeks months?

What are the main disadvantages between precompiled kernel and the use of kernel sources?
Also, I recommend checking htcmania Spain forum, because Parasite_remix is cooking Mooke and CM13 ROMs with 17S firmware.

Hi,
With the custom kernel, that one can be "optimized" for the device and all missing drivers can be added. At least, that is what I have been told but I'd be glad to be proven wrong.
For the htcmania link : thanks a ton, but I don't think I'll use it.
I sold the x820. Battery drain was really too high and even with moderate use, I could barely get through the day
Finding a replacement was tough, but I am trying the Xiaomi mi5 and Moto X Style (Pure) to see if they can do the job...
Both have flaws the x820 had not. And I honestly must admit that I am missing the x820 already

Pretty bad to hear this.
Sadly though, more and more people are leaving the Le Max2 camp. If only they would release the sources...
Anyhow, good luck with your next device

There are a few problems with using prebuilt kernels.
1. Upstream changes in Android source code might need related kernel changes, if you don't have the kernel source you can't do this.
2. For the same reason, you may be stuck on old android versions if the kernel isn't compatible with newer versions
3 Vendor may have customized some android frameworks and made related kernel changes. As CM wouldn't have these changed frameworks, some features may not work (although this doesn't appear to be an issue with this phone as the CM builds for it seems to be fully functional)

Probably when LineageOS 15 is up, the other ROMs based on LineageOS will be at 8.0
Now to the other roms, they have to update themselves to 8.0 (for example CAF or AOSP)
Anyways, don't expect this soon
Awesome news. Thanks to all developers

Just because other devices run Oreo doesn't mean other devices will get it quick.
let us all appreciate all the work bruno martins (bgcmgm) has done for our device...
lineageos 14 works amazingly well and lineageos15 is in works and will be ready ......
atleast we will get updates for los14 until a usable version of los15 is released...
But how are AOSP roms doing?
Looks like mi5s and plus have got Oreo too even though their user base is smaller ...

android p sources are out final but no ports yet?

It's been a week android pie is available...and xiaomi mi4 even got the android pie ROM today and we don't have any leak about Nexus 6p. I guess Nexus and pixel should be the first to get any leak on os because of same manufacturer. Does anyone know what's the status of development of pie of
Nexus 6p :crying:
There was a post up yesterday. @drewwalton19216801 successfully built Android pie for Nexus 6P, but wasn't able to test it because the physical port on his phone didn't connect to adb for some reason. So, he posted the builds if others wanted to try booting. There were a couple that were attempting to flash and help with the progress. The thread appears to have vanished overnight. I can't seem to find it anymore.
Jup, I tested it.
Was able to grab a logcat from adb so the kernel itself seems to boot.
But there are too many fatal errors right now.
I believe it was a pretty hacked build.

I know @drewwalton19216801 said he used the official source code and drivers, kernel, etc. That's probably the most pure it can get. Probably another reason he wanted to get it tested. I'm sure if he had a working phone that development would move along more quickly for him.
Last he said in his thread was that he was compiling something specific for you in regards to getting it to flash properly. I was really looking forward to that thread making progress. It's kind of mysterious that the mods just made his thread disappear as if nothing ever happened.

OnePlus get AOSP Android Pie ports
OnePlus 2 recieve port of Pie, an it too has Snap 810
I'm currently working on porting P over and I have it compiling right now. Once I have it able to boot I will upload it. Then I'll optimize it and fix all of the underlying bugs.

It's going to be released as an AOSP rom, So that the community has a baseline for Pie ROMS. Other than compatibility tweaks, and some small performance, thermal and battery tweaks, it will be completely vanilla. I'm trying to keep it as pure as possible meaning only AOSP source and Huawei binaries.
However, I already have plans on releasing a Pie based custom rom with a Pixel theme. So keep an eye out for AugmentOS in the future
Edit: This may take awhile. The non-frees don't want to compile correctly and when they do they don't boot.

Ayy it has been a little bit longer for you then! Welcome back to the unrelenting hostility of building AOSP for unsupported phones.

Hi sahil.. i got 2 questions. When do you expect device specific devt for the samsung a70?
I assume we could flash beta q gsi on the samsung a70. But youre saying its not specific for this phone buf a port... is that right bro?
Would love to see Android Q beta on our M30, hope you have a guide ready!

Hey, sounds great! I'll happily test starting next week (exam time for me this week)
Im in to...although I tried to flash it via fastboot on stuck recoverey (bootloader unlocked and rooted) but failed. Ask me for "cheetah, pantera, etc"
WHAT HAPPENED?
You have some really great Devs around that like treating others like dirt! IG the Xperia community will grow up with them (probably not) No honestly... Reddit cleary covers why no one like Me is around anymore... Aside from the Point that Sony totally fails with the SODP Management. Stock fw is bad and AOSP is even worse thanks to them...
I couldn't be more happy with My Pixel 7 Pro. F Xperias!
