Could someone tell me why there's not a single cm12/cm13 custom rom for Kindle Fire HD 7"? Aren't we already able to install TWRP? Thanks.
.
I'm not an expert on this, so this isn't 100% accurate, but all the marshmallow drivers would have to be ported, and as you hopefully already know, not all the drivers and modules are working on CM11 yet. Lollipop would probably be a similar situation as with CM11, as stock kitkat is already available, but the ROM doesn't have bluetooth, camera, or OMX.
This might change in the feature though, so keep an eye on here. -w-
The situation with Nougat ROMs is a bit confusing for me so I have several questions:
First question:
@andr68rus is working on several N ROMs at the same time:
Resurrection Remix
Dirty Unicorns 7.1.2
AOKP ROM for LeMax 2
Can you tell which one's the best, most future proof project? Did he even stop maintaining on of them?
Second question:
What about the official Lineage Builds?
How well maintained are they? Is this the way to go in the future?
Third question: I'm currently using TeamWin twrp-3.0.2-1-x2. Do I need a new TWRP for N?
Thanks for eventual help.
Aside from Dirty Unicorns, most of the ROMs are Lineage based. I believe @andr68rus is taking a break from DU to focus on resolving issues in the Lineage based ROMs he's building.
In fact, I believe most of the Nougat ROMs (not just andr68us') are based off the work done for Lineage 14.1 so it will probably be the best maintained. I've switched to the Unofficial Lineage 14.1 for now and probably will go with the Official (assuming it goes official, though I don't see why it wouldn't) unless some other ROM has a feature that's "must have" to me.
With regards to TWRP, I think your's should be fine, but you might want to give MultiROM a try so you can switch between ROMs. I currently have LOS 14.1 as my internal, and DU 7.1.2 & AOKP - MM as secondaries. I'm using Lineage as my daily driver, but it's nice to know I can boot back to AOKP if I have an issue. I didn't have problems with DU, but I didn't place any calls and I saw some complaints about things like echo and call volume, which is why I went to Lineage. DU did feel a bit "smoother' to me, but I'm not sure if it's just placebo because it was the first Nougat ROM I used, or if it's because it's AOSP rather than Lineage based.
When using MultiROM, just don't freak out if flashing a ROM messes up your PIN codes in all your other ROMs. There's a flashable zip to remove the pin codes from a ROM (which really just deletes a few files) and afterwards you can add you PIN back.
Thanks for the answer. With Official Lineage I've meant the ROMs from download[DOT]lineageos[DOT]org/x2 . The thing I don't understand is how well maintained that is. Do they have their own people working on the ROM, or are those people from here?
Edit: I just realized that the ROMs there are 13.0 which is supposedly Android 6.0. So there are no official Lineage 14 ROMs jet. That's where my confusion came from.

ROMs based on similar device tree (except DU), so get rom what your like. I use RR.

I'm using your Lineage 13.0 UNOFFICIAL atm. I've tried AOKP but the battery drain was too high. The 13.0 seems fine. I guess I'll wait a bit till the N ROMs a more mature.
The x829 which I ordered from TomTop is on its way... and I've only just read about the woes of LeEco in US and IN, where it seems to be a matter of time before both regional ventures go broke. So while I previously thought I'd stick with the phone's stock rom and OTAs, I'm now faced with a foreseeable future with no LeEco official updates. In that case, I figure I might as well start using an alternative rom right off the bat.
So, I need a recommendation for a ROM that hopefully can meet the following criteria:
1. ongoing support with OTA patches and updates from a stable group / recognised devt team
2. all functionality on the x829 should work: fingerprint, VoLTE, 4k video, OIS, EIS, audio, ... and are there any others that may not work in different roms?
3. I'm not so concerned about marshmallow vs nougat. Nougat would be good, but life goes on as long as I get updates on marshmallow.
Based on criteria 1, I suppose that my choices are limited to the following.
a. LineageOS 13.0 - is all functionality working?
b. Resurrection Remix - M - at least VoLTE not working. any others?
Do I have any other options?
c. LineageOS 13.0 by andr68us - only supported by andr68us, would not get ongoing patches right? and if this has extra stuff compared to official lineageOS, does the official fully support the camera, IR remote, etc?
d. LineageOS 14.1 - only supported by cr3pt, would not get ongoing patches right?
d. MIUI??
f. mokkee?
g. stick with stock china rom or india rom?
h. Small EUI by aurel - No ongoing patches right?
Would appreciate your corrections and thoughts.
Custom ROM and OTA is a contradiction for most Custom ROMs

Use the latest official Indian ROM.
Currently all custom ROMs for Max2 are buggy or incomplete in one way or another.

True, but being able to get ongoing patches is a pretty big plug for me. That's why I seem to only really have LineageOS 13.0 official and Resurrection Remix-M official choices meeting this criteria right? Actually, I've never used either. Is the update mechanism OTA, or manual download-and-patch?
I guess I should add that OTA is nice but not strictly necessary as long as the necessary patches are consistently applied, and builds are being made. I can download and apply the patches manually (but OTA would be nice).

Thanks. Maybe that's what I'll do after all.
on the other hand... which is the least buggy custom rom? If the bugs are something I can live with, and it gives me an easier future migration path (or removes the need to migrate firmware altogether) I might take it.
Actually, all of this was on the premise that LeEco US & IN would go bust and no further pacthes will be available. Does this assumption look correct, or maybe I don't need to worry about this?
LeEco is pretty popular in India. I guess its their most valuable territory at the moment, because their attempt to infiltrate the US market has clearly failed and in China they barely make the list of top ten Android vendors.
You shouldn't have bought this phone in the first place if you expected any decent support for it. Too bad, I made the same mistake.
I'm on mokee, with the Chinese 23s modem and gapps flashed on top of it. Everything works, it has OTA.

The unofficial lineage os 13 by andr68rus is the best and most stable mm rom. Official one does not support ir. This one does. It has all the features and stability of the official one plus the ir functionality and the option for flashing viper4divine beats which actually broke the volte feature in official one. Using Selinux Mode changer app sucks. After some days apps dependent on it stop working after a few days. And regarding ota updates. Y do u need it when everything is perfectly working without bugs??. Heating is the same as dat on all other mm roms.

I agree, Indian ROM is the best stock.
Hello everyone,
I've been using Yunique for almost 2 years now and very satisfied with the development got going for it.
Lineage OS is one of the best customs out there. But the official builds never support VoLTE out of the box. Can anyone tell me why they don't include that piece of software?? Most custom roms have VoLTE integration and also in Unofficial builds of LOS. Not that I'm complaining but I'm curious to know why.:silly:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ro...-14.1-20180425-UNOFFICIAL-jalebi.zip/download
Lineage (volte) latest use it with casium 1.7
I too have a same problem. I tend to write a feedback to lineage os team even nothing works.
Is there any alternate way to get volte fix on official lineage os builds?
let me guess
official lineage-os support the old non-volte stock rom. yu sent the volte upgrade later by ota updates, I think volte in roms need these implantation in stock rom, this can be the reason, post reply if someone has more info
I'm just wondering what are the possible reasons why an Official Lineage 17 isn't out yet. Is it because it doesn't have a maintainer or is it something else?
Proprietary_vendor_xiaomi is still down due to the DCMA take down... until they decide what they want to do with the material that contributed to the take down there will be never an OFFICIAL lineage based rom from them. There may be unofficial for sure which is going to be just as good but no official builds

Firstly, Official Pie builds are still up. So nothing is down or stopped.
Secondly, Official LineageOS 17 is not up because it does not exist yet for any device.
Tell me one device which has Official Lineage 17.
Let LineageOS finalise it first. You cannot have something that does not exist.
Please do not spread mis-information.
