Dedicated OnePlus 7 T-Mobile 5G Mclaren forum - OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A

Is there a dedicated forum in xda that is for the OnePlus 7 T-Mobile 5G Mclaren?
If not, is there a Rooting/Unlocking Guide? I've found one for the OnePlus 7T Pro, but that has a different chipset right than the T-Mobile 5g. Or is the process the same?
I'm sure the process is the same for unlocking but then I got thinking about ROMs because of the T-Mobile 5G Mclaren having a different chipset supporting the 5G

the modem is different. No dedicated forum yet, I'm going to wait until 7T pro development moves along a bit

Yes can the mods do this ? It's a little rough trying to sort thru all the regular op stuff for McLaren 5g stuff .. Mods?..

I also agree we need a dedicated forum.

I concur.

Please make a sub forum for mclarren tmo edition thank you

I also agree, @xda can we please get a dedicated forum? This device is not like other OnePlus devices in the past, flashing stuff from Europe and Global can have irreversible effects as of now. Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear that guys hope the mods will open a decicated one... As long as i know you need an unlocl code for the tmobile mclaren 5g?
Rooting and custom Kernel on the 4g mclaren Version are very nice... Fast, smooth and better battery than stock. But as long as there isnt a fully functional TWRP custom roms are waiting, but besides that its one of the best devices ive ever owned in terms of root and custom Kernel... Ota with root and custom Kernel without problems is so nice...
So guys sorry for the smalltalk hope youre good

It is really not that cut and dry to add a section. But you can if enough people are able to request together.... That being said as of right now it does not have the support required.

Ridiculous response..... How much support does it need??

Missing logics, Logix. Build it and they will come.
I also support the idea of a dedicated forum.

Same. The development for this device is very specific in a lot of aspects.

You guys start forums all the time for devices that don't even exist yet and may never get development. Please create the forum for us as we actually need it. Thanks again

Respectfully, having a separate forum for the 5G McLaren would be more beneficial for everyone! Like the 3 and 3T series, you can have certain threads for cross-development, but have a forum dedicated to 5G McLaren exclusive threads (i.e. msm tool, 5G specific ROMs, etc.)

+1
(pun intended) - Requesting separate forum.

Yep, Let's Rock with our own 5G McLaren forum! Cheers

I just unlocked my OnePlus McLaren from T-Mobile today! I'm really trying to flash the oxygen os version or global version I guess. I just want the OnePlus updates right when they release them.

I completely understand your explanation.
But I have a different opinion on this matter.
There are specific issues that this device has and there is no way this device can be supported by simply having scattered bits and pieces through this forum just so people can negativity offer responses like "this is op7t pro forum not McLaren". We need a dedicated space for TMobile McLaren especially if there aren't any other McLaren 5g versions because we can't succeed in building TWRP or other custom ROMs or getting knowledge from more experienced devs. We can only be off topic for now to everyone else. Thanks.

I agree there should be a separate forum for this. It's too confusing otherwise. Respectfully...

I concur, we need a dedicated forum.

[Discussion / Poll] ZTE Bits And Bytes Poll (week of 1/15) - Let's Go Vote -

Hello everyone,
it seems like ZTE need our vote and voices and they have created a Poll , here is the info and link :
https://community.zteusa.com/polls/1618
Welcome to our weekly Bits And Bytes poll and discussion! Give your honest opinion, debate ferociously, and respect each other at all times...
Question: If you had to pick one, would you prefer stock Android or the ability to choose from various community-developed custom ROMs?
Context: In the complex world of mobile operating systems or anything really, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, many are in the camp that believe stock Android comes close. But there's also the camp that believes only custom ROMs are the way to go, enabling users to select from different permutations of stock Android. If you had to pick one option, which option floats your boat and why?
Action: 1. Select one of the options below and 2. reply to justify your reasoning. Although there is no correct answer, please provide sound reasoning to support your selection. After a week or so, your Mod Squad will soon identify and reward those with the most thoughtful responses!

I will vote stock Android since we are already unlocked, and with a stock Android image to work with anything is possible. Really don't understand why they picked these two options.
I'm so tired of these polls.
I agree, at least in the general ZTE forum every freaking thread is a stupid poll. At least this one is from ZTE itself.

This is so true. I didn't even find the ZTE pool yesterday. But when I came across this thread I realized there is one.
Their forum has become very cluttered since the price drop for the Axon-7 for Xmas...

Device forum request

Hi XDA, i would like to request forum for Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite. It has been released for a month and don't have forum yet. Thank you so much. Sorry for my bad english
This forum is open for the Xiaomi Mi 8 and all its variables.
While the names sound similar, the two phones are sufficiently different that things designed for one usually won't work for the other. E.g. phone cases, screen protectors, TWRP, latest MIUI version, ROM, etc.
I think there is a case to have separate areas so we don't get confusing comments like "this thing does not work" just because the user has the other phone type.

Also contrast our device with the Huawei P20, for which 3 separate forums have been created for the standard, pro and lite versions.
Just wondering if the admin/moderators will respond at all?

Attention Play device ROM Developers and Maintainers:

Please pay a bit more attention to the reason why most of us bought this phone: https://www.androidauthority.com/motorola-moto-z3-play-review-885207/
Must I stress this? I'm sure I am not the only one getting annoyed by the lack of Moto Mod support in most current Custom Roms.
(Pixel Experience and Lineage 15.1 implementing it the best when it comes to 8.1)
There is even an entire sub redit complaining about this...
I am no developer myself, but here it is laid out on how to make a ROM that supports most Moto Mods, this seemed a bit buried and hard to find, but seems extremely useful as if someone has already done the nitty gritty work:
There is a detailed Mod Porting tutorial at the bottom of this thread:
> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72601804&postcount=2 <
And I don't know if this is possible but it would also be great to have something like a flashable zip or base that supported Moto Mods for treble or/GSI ROMS in the future.
If anyone can get a Pie rom working with MODS soon enough, you'll beat Motorola to it. Think about that... you could work for them, because sadly it's something they haven't accomplished yet lol.
This should be in MOTO Z2 PLAY GUIDES, NEWS, & DISCUSSION.
Try looking, it has been explained before why we only have battery mod support. Besides, development is dead, there are no Devs now.

I looked and I found that it is possible to have more than the battery mod support, hence this post. The ROM I am on now, lineage 15.1 (Oreo 8.1 with November security patch)> works with my projector mode also.
Past custom Roms have also supported more than the battery mod.
I hope I don't have to explain the concept of looking to you, there are no Devs currently, development is not dead, they are waiting for/working on Pie. That you would know if you have been looking and reading the forums and posts by Devs.

For your information, one of the old Devs here said only battery mod for z2 play because the other mods caused too many problems on custom ROMs. Also, nobody is working on pie on xda for z2p. The Devs that where here all left, they are not waiting, they moved on.

Even tho I have proof of the projector mod working very stable on my phone on lineage 15.1 January security update???? And other mods in the link I supplied in the post??? Cool story...
The whole point of this post was to help devs like that accomplish it. I am guessing this is one reason why many give up...You have no idea how incorrect you are obviously, I have read 2 devs for these mod compatible ROMS state they were waiting for Pie. Because 8.1 is sufficiently accomplished now. Waiting= no current activity/posts/8.1 updates. I just technically had a dev here work on lineage 15.1 for me yesterday, compiling the new security update.
Want the link to this best ROM for the phone right now or can you LOOK for it by yourself? Thanks to me it's really not hard to find.

I was going to respond to your misunderstandings but, had to much of a giggle at your progressive edits to further attack me. Goodbye, no time for you.
Please explain this misunderstanding of mine:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3731228/page42
And look where that got me. 2 stable mods, 8.1 64 bit, January security patch and even a microg version.
Again I will add another screenshot taken from the post about mod compatibility.
...
Fact: A Dev compiled a security update for lineage albus yesterday. Another made a microg variant a few weeks ago.
Fact: the link in this post is how stable mod support can be accomplished.

This was your original comment, you were clearly claiming we only have battery mod support now, and why that is.
On a post containing information to why that is not, and how we can achieve more than that.

Correct, I was claiming based on the last information I had from a Dev. And you seem to have found the answer, I stand corrected. Finished?

It's gonna be more likely to be seen in the right thread section (as now). Otherwise it looks like you believe that you are higher than the rules we all here try to respect (the convenient thing is to keep each section ordered).
Have a nice day. :good:
guys, guuuys !! You done bickering, have you?
Now please have a look back at your posts, they look better, don`t they?
Further inflammatory posts containing disrespectful and useless remarks like "stupid, idiotic, butt-hurt" and so on will be removed and not only edited would also unleash some "respectful" pm`s straight to your inbox.

if it is a discussion then it must take place in this section, and "to be more visible" this is up to the level of conversation, what needs to be seen it will be always seen.

Please keep it civil and enjoy the forums.
Thank you!
as long as the topic has drastically changed its direction and no one is interested anymore, I`ll be closing it.
I have nicely requested to keep it civil but it seems that no one cares. @MusicAlleyInc message me please when you think this thread can continue on the topic that has been created and I will reopen it.
Thanks for understanding

curtana vs excalibur

Hi,
I would like to know which one will be more popular in terms of custom rom development. Or does that not matter much? I would like to get excalibur but does that mean it will lack stuff compared to curtana in the long run?

Look at the current development, the amount of threads, roms, then you should find the answer about the probabilities for the one or the other device.

Thanks for the reply. I can totally see that curtana has taken off in development and excalibur is not that active. Is that because it was launched 2 months later? I see that both share the same kernel source. So wanted to get others opinion on it.

Question Voting for LineageOs

Hi,
I am wondering if there is a common way on this forum to express support for the development of a specific custom ROM for a phone? Is there a commonly accepted way to do this? (Came here to see if I could +1 a LineageOs thread for the Zenfone 9)

Hey mate,
I was thinking to contact developers and pay them to build lineage OS and make it official!
Or the other alternative is Learn how to build it and submit it for review on LOS website..
If you have any suggestions?
cool, no idea how to go about that, but I would be happy to contribute as well. I'm sure others would be too - I am on a forum where there are multiple threads dedicated to finding a good small deGoogled phone (community.e.foundation). There must be a place where people can put up amounts for a development like this, right? Sort of like a Kickstarter for a bit of development? I will ask on the other forum too

The problem with LineageOS is that when there is no more maintainer for a specific model the phone just goes to rubbish, no more security patch... same for the other custom rom... eOS depends on LOS repositories and even if lineage stop supporting a specific device eOS will keep updating their all supported devices... That's why I really like eOS. It doesn't matter if some features are unavailable... a phone is supposed to be used for call, text. Nowadays, everything seems to be sophisticated however it doesn't need to be... I'll start asking some recognised developers if they are willing to work on a LOS build for the zf9 for some money participation... maybe start a crowdfunding of an alternative without fraud!!
Bump
Hi bro,
Sorry got no time at the moment I ended up using a one plus 6 with eOS... I haven't started anything yet. I might need some help to organise something about crowdfunding..
Good luck and let us know if you have some ideas. Thank's
