With all Respect it appears that you did not even entirely read or understood the Question I was raising towards the Lineage Officials Team there ?

First I am not at all required to deliver any Proof at all for these Statements - for me its enough that this Situation came to my Attention and its worth that the Community gets aware of it as well as asking for an official Statement from the Lineage Team.

As a Consequence I simply asked my Questions in public to inform XDA Forum Members here and to hopefully force an official Statement from Lineage Team to clarify the Situation.

Not commenting from Lineage at all however forces the Suspicion that the entire Story is either true or maybe even much worse.

In Case that Story may be not true at all - why is there no Statement that either denies or just corrects these Statements then ?

It appears to be quite strange & irritating that Lineage Officials seem trying to keep that Fact Secret of actively blocking independent Dev's and their Code which are contributing to the Project with working Solutions which significantly could bring the ROM forward towards official Release - just with the Statement of Reason of being not an officially registered Lineage Developer.

If you would have read my Post completely, you would have noticed that the entire Source Code has been made available towards Lineage Officials for quite some Time in order to gain Advantage of the Problem-Solutions.

Again - I know that the Sources have been made available for quite some Time for Verification and for being implemented in Lineage.

Meanwhile I know the Sources have been removed due to the Fact that Lineage Officials have affronted the Developer and refused to use and analyze the Sources just with the Statement of Reason that it wasn't coded by a registered Lineage Dev.

I am not going to publicly fingerpoint or PM to certain Individuals at all - however in my Opinion the Community and XDA-Users here should know the true Story about the Cause of why 15.1 never will become an official Release.

Just due to that certain Lineage Officials (not all of them) decided to simply ignore existing Problem-Solutions which are available ready to use.

Obviously these Guys are just kind of envy due to the Fact that an independent Developer managed to fix a lot of Problems in a handful of few Test ROM's within the Period of a few Weeks which others were facing left unresolved for Years and Months before.

By the Way - indeed creating and publishing own ROM Fork based on Oreo may be the only Way of moving forward considering these obvious narrow minded Decisions stated above.

Moving forward with such political Games will result in finding themselves at the same Point as with Lineage 14.1.

1,5 Years lost without significant Progress - still facing the same Issues they had in Lineage Nougat 14.1 with Lineage Oreo 15.1.

Meanwhile I am not on good Hope anymore that Lineage Oreo 15.1 will ever get official Release Status for the Galaxy Note 4.

Especially when considering that Android P is around the Edge of being released by Google soon.

I am not a Dev at all but just a regular Lineage User.

I have been quite enthusiastic for the Lineage Project and the Community for the Galaxy Note 4 in the Past - its still a great Device and a very good Operating System with quite some Potential of Success..

However if all that turns out to be true Lineage will go the same Way Cyanogen was going back that Time ....
