THE GOAL HAS BEEN REACHED. YOU CAN STOP DONATING. NOT A SINGLE CENT IS NEEDED ANYMORE!

Some things I'd like to make clear before anything.

1 - As per XDA rules and as it was also request by anothers moderators in the past (Copy and pasta ftw): There is absolutely NO obligation on the developers part to release a final product. Although this is what everyone wants, including myself, [MENTION=7838323]Hlcpereira[/MENTION], the entire reason for a donation drive in the first place is because it's not the easiest thing in the world to do. This means it may not even be possible in the long run. There's a great potential for hurt feelings and "bad juju" if people donate with the expectation that a final product will 100% be released. Donations should be seen as support towards a best-effort on the part of the developer. Yes, I'll try my best and put all my efforts on it, but you must be aware that I also have a life. Android custom ROMs development is considered a hobby and not a job.

2 - The goal might get reduced in the meanwhile due possible money that I get to cover taxes and/or part of the device cost, or if I find a good deal for example. The goal previously was at ~377 USD as is in the OP, now is at ~339 USD.

3 - In case that the goal won't beat within sometime I will return the money of each one that donated, and that's mainly why I'm using PayPal (and Picpay for those who live in Brazil). If that happens and you didn't receive your money back I'd kindly ask you to PM me in here or at telegram.

4 - As soon as the amount funded reach the goal, I will stop the fundraising and I will request to close this thread.

For those interested, I've worked on Motorola Moto Maxx/Droid Turbo, Xiaomi Mi 5/5s/5s Plus and OnePlus 5/5T previously, and nowadays I'm working on Xiaomi Mi 8, as stated in the OP.

For those who can't/couldn't open the telegraph article the current status is: 339/~339 USD.

I'll be keeping that status up-to-date here and at telegraph article.

Honestly I'm kinda lineage fans since it doesn't/or at least it has less-proprietary software.

But hey, it maybe a good start to trigger the others.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Guides, News, & Discussion] Hlcpereira:
What I recommend you to do then.

First: start learning about git stuff. Using the github web interface is asking for trouble, since authorship of the commits, which you can be accused of kanging (which is pretty much a reason that all ROMs are not accepting some people) and also because you're not showing any skills, You'll may turn into reason of joke around the Android Custom ROM development community. There's a lot of material about git around the internet. Here at XDA has a pretty much nice guide about git.

Second: By your XDA profile you have never tried build even a single unofficial ROM build, you are a simple user (yet). I recommend you to "start little". Unless you're a guy that came from the future, and that already saw everything of grus sources (device trees) and everything necessary for it in the ROM side sources (like indisplay fingerprint stuff), I'd rather say to wait for the stable device sources and then start taking "baby steps", building the ROM that the devices trees were made/adapted for, and looking/searching to know what does every single stuff/part of the sources. Ofc I don't know everything about Android itself and maybe will never know.

The only thing about that I'll really complain a lot and say that's a must is: You must never be a dickhead, acting like you're a fricking pro developer, while you're just a newbie, arguing with and pissing off more experienced guys; or an scammer, just to fool users not inside custom ROM development stuff itself or that are ingenuous, bcz of money, all that as some "developers", as they like to be called themselves, are (or were, because some gave up of doing that thankfully) doing.

Hello,

I have a Nexus 7 (2012) that I like to update to a newer android versin, e. g. Nougat, to get some performance back. Unfortunately, all that I found on this topic here or in the web is very technical, with much insider phrases. Therefore, can anyone recommend a site that guides me step by step through the process? This would help me a lot.

Many thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yipward:
Hello, i have an Asus TF103C, and i did the lollipop update. Everything went well, and on a russian forum, i saw that update write an UEFI bios. So with a temporary TWRP i went to the ESP partition, and moved the bootx64.efi file to force the tablet boot on the bios. Now, the tablet is on the bios but i can't move between the differents tabs unless with volume keys but the volume keys just move me from high to bottom. The keyboard dock made nothing, same with an usb or otg keyboard and same for touchpad, or an usb mouse. I talked at an asus support member and he say with the same tablet than me he can move in all the different tabs. So if you know how to move in this uefi, thank you very much. The uefi is Aptio Setup Utility, i think it's the Aptio 4 version but not sure.

Sorry for my bad english, i'm french.

Hi there! Sometimes it's hard to choose a new LineageOS phone using the official wiki. So I created a new site, which is trying to solve that problem.

https://anton-z-s.github.io/linext

sorry it's not a link, i'm new to the forum and there's a spam prevention system

It's a list of LineageOS devices, presented in a convenient way. You can sort, filter devices, show/hide columns. All the info is straight out of the official wiki, always up-to-date, gathered when you open a page. For example, you can search for devices with LOS v16, released in 2018 with IPS screen.

Features:

sort (hold Shift to multi-sort)

filter any column (use comma for multiple values)

show/hide columns, all field form wiki are present

filter/sort state is put in URL so you can share the results

Filter examples:

LineageOS devices released in 2018, updated to v16

LineageOS devices released by Google

Tablets with LineageOS support
[LineageOS News & Discussion] Ibuprophen:
As good as your intentions (and creativity) for providing an additional resource for members but, I'm a bit confused about something.

The following is a Screenshot of your website with the dates to choose from reflected...

View attachment 4779539

... Those dates also include 2012-2016.

Now what's confusing me is the fact that the Official LineageOS website didn't launch (go live) till approximately "13 January 2017" as seen by the following screenshot & the link below it...

View attachment 4779540

https://web.archive.org/web/20170113015126/https://download.lineageos.org/

... Just to note, there's no devices/downloads reflected when the website launched till approximately "23 January 2017" (with only 6 initial devices) as seen by the following screenshot & the link below it.

View attachment 4779541

https://web.archive.org/web/20170123210148/https://download.lineageos.org/

Can you please explain the devices your website reflects between 2012-2016 when, actually, the Official CyanogenMod was still around and providing builds?

Just curious about this... :)

[MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION], thanks for your interest!

Column "Release date" reflects when a device been released, not a firmware. Look at Nexus 6, released in 2014 https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/shamu

I'll think about changing "Release date" to "Device release date" to avoid confusion.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] Ibuprophen:
Thank you, that does shed light on this! :thumbup:

It would be great to slightly amending any verbiage that may even remotely throw an individual off a bit.

You had done a very good job. I may not see the real point to this myself but, it doesn't mean that it won't be very helpful to someone else.

Good Luck in your project! :)

[LineageOS News & Discussion] gpshumway:
Excellent!

You may not see the point, but I do!

Some of us are not hobbyists but buy phones specifically to run custom ROMs like Lineage. (I'm a Google tinfoil hatter) Not being a hobbyist, I don't hang around here enough to be up on the latest developments or which phone is "hot" right now.

This makes shopping for a new phone a frustrating experience. By the time an official version of Lineage is available, the phone is usually not available new at retail any more, leaving me to scour Craigslist or buy from some fly-by-night 3rd party seller. This website at least will simplify which phones I search for. Before I had to spend a huge amount of time at the Wiki, with a dozen tabs open looking at release dates and versions. Now I can narrow the list dramatically.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] greenpisse:
Nice tool.

I wanted to copy/paste some results to print them but what I paste is a single column instead of multiple ones (I manage it manually but it's time consumming).

Could you add a way to downlad the chosen columns into a csv file ?

I need help converting an Allwinner U-Boot .bin file to .fex file so I can stitch it into my android update. I can't quite figure out how to accomplish this. I have found multiple resources to accomplish this but it confuses me a little bit. I'm utilizing a 'Live USB' Xubuntu Distro to attempt this. Basically I need a tiny tutorial of commands to enter so I can succeed.

Alternatively, would a native Linux user convert the file for me using 'Sunxi-tools' bin2fex? I attached the file that needs converted, in case that's an option.

If there's anymore information I need to relay to accomplish this task, please let me know.

[Android General] the.real.p3y0t3:
Doesnt SBoot allude to (S)ecureBoot? Where as U-Boot is a complete bootloader. Qualcomm devices use their boot schema, where as rockchip, allwinner and many many others use U-Boot; I'm guessing since its open source, it saves them some $ going the U-Boot route. Plus U-Boot is highly configurable. I was gifted a Pogo Plug a while back; this device was my crash course in all things U-Boot heh (oops old thread)

3.WIpe everithing

4. Reboot to Recovery Again and copy Rom,gapps,etc

But the problem is that internal storage is coded...

and then install ROM from OTG pen

your encryption of your data(internal storage) is corrupted. only way to solve it is factory reset where it will erase data and internal storage. either way your data is long gone.

i have bricked many of my phones cause of encryption. nothing could save it(had all my data got messed up.)

I see. Which partitions should I wipe to be sure that coding is gone?

:)) man, ...everithing u must delete from your device; idk if installing from sideload or otg are real solution (try them before doing final alternative), but if thats doesnt work u must wipe EVERITHING. My advice for u is to factory reset and wipe everithing if otg and sideload doesnt work... i wanted to help u with an opinion about otg or sideload, but i dont know nothing about thats...search in XDA and see if another persons had this problem... myself i had that, but i deleted everithing unfortunately.... :) good luck and dont be scarr...that problem have solution

OK. After wiping data, phone started working (with some bugs...) , but still have problem with coding data in TWRP - access code to the phone doesn't work.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] straciatella:
is impossible to be your data coded if u reset ur phone and wiping everithing. try flashing .img file from orange fox zip and install orange fox (that if u already dont use it). twrp from wight and others have some bulshets included idk what, coz too me also doesnt work...try with orange fox and see...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] leszekk:
As I said, storage is coded. I currently don't have USB OTG to try orange fox...

only format data and caches. no need to touch vendor boot system etc.

be sure to use "format data" where it will ask you to confirm by typing yes
