Are there any Android Go ROMs available / underdevelopment for i9100? My phone has gone extremely slow and I think only something like Android Go could revive the old work horse.
Thanks for your time.
The unofficial LineageOS 15.1 builds by rINanDO (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3674567) are the first such ROMs currently, although, as of right now, it is in WIP phase, and although it is stable enough not to crash every few moments, a lot of things may be broken or not work at all.
I was wondering too. Thank you for the answer. I hope in 6months the bugs will be removed.

Are you sure those rINanDO's builds are based on Android Go and not full grown Android 8.1 ?

By nature, all Android Go builds are based on full grown Android 8.1, as they are built the same way, from the same source code, but the Android Go builds have an additional build flag attached at the very end.
So yes, they are based on Android Go, which in turn is based on Android 8.1.
and the flag is set !
Hey there devs.
I'm looking forward to build a pure aosp rom based on oreo 8.1 for mido.
So far I've tried and successfully built los 14.1 and rr 5.8.5 from source, but I want to build aosp source so as to create a vanilla aosp rom. I've looked on the internet and asked a couple of devs here in the forum and they told me to merge caf patches. I totally understand the point of caf but then i don't know how to do it. Also I'm pretty sure that some patches (caf maybe) need to be added to source since the compilation always gives an error related to board config, when i followed the official guide at android website. (But then I don't understand what overlays i have to apply or even what they are)
Edit : i use gcloud to build.
If anyone can guide me as to how i can build aosp, it would be really helpful:fingers-crossed:
But then any help is appreciated.:good:
Thanks in advance!
i've no knowledge on building rom but im waiting for your vanilla for sure, hopefully you made it from Note 4X as base since all 8.1 rom i have tried are giving me various app are stopping after using it for sometime. i hope i can help you in some way though i have limitation in helping. thank you for your spirit!

Don't worry man, I'll find out some way to build it. I'm Waiting for los 15.1 to get official so that the kernel source and other sources are out which i can use. But still I'm trying to learn and build.:laugh:
Hello,
@sir_bazz mentioned that this needed its own thread, thus I'm creating one.
I've been building LineageOS 14.1 from the official LineageOS source repository for my personal devices for some time now, and it finally occurred to me that others might find them useful.
These builds are created every Saturday night from a 100% unaltered LineageOS repository, which is synchronized with upstream every day. I must stress that there are NO MODIFICATIONS at all; if it worked/didn't work in the last official Cyanogenmod/LineageOS releases, it works/doesn't work in my builds. At Apple we called these "sustaining builds" -- they keep devices in sync with the latest security patches, but receive no new features.
Deb is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/deb/. Flo is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/flo/. There are other devices being built as well ... if you would like me to add a 14.1 or 15.1 device to the weekly build roster, please let me know.
I hope this helps out folks who want to extend the service lifetime of their gear. Share and enjoy.
Edit: per moderator request, I need to provide a link to the source repository used to generate these builds to comply with XDA's interpretation of the GPL. It is the stock LineageOS repository, located at git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git. TheMuppets binary repository was used for the vendor blobs; it is at https://github.com/TheMuppets/
Have been testing the latest weekly for a couple of days now, and no issues to report.
My Deb device is relegated to a dedicated Pogo tablet and I think Lineage 14.1 is a better match for my use as there's noteably more memory available after system startup than with the Pie ROMs I've tested.
It just feels much smoother.
Would've been more than happy with monthly updates but thanks for building the ROM and also making weeklies available for us Nexus 7 diehards.

Likewise. I was just about to junk a (relatively) new N7 (flo) on stock MM. but wanted to give a newer ROM a try (Oreo). I didn't like my O options and stumbled upon these N builds on the backend of another thread. Flashed/Magisk couple Mods. Been up a week now and not one problem whatsoever!
Really appreciate the work as this ROM (I had never used a LinOS rom before) is running so well the N7 is almost my daily house driver again. The N7 FF really has never been matched/surpassed and once you've become accustomed to it its just hard to give up that "sweet spot".

Hi, I've just updated both my Hammerhead 15.1 and Flo 14.1. Everything has gone smoothly and all is working. I was just hoping you could clarify something that occurred to me regarding the builds.
When you say there are no modifications, does that mean that the basic ROM is frozen at the point when LineageOS stopped releasing official builds, and does that also mean that builds in between the monthly security updates are all the same or can there be other security/bug fixing updates from LineageOS? Also Lineage 15 was never official for the Nexus 5 or 7? I'm a bit in the dark as to how these things work.
Thanks in advance.

No worries. By "no modifications", I mean that these are built directly from a clone of the LineageOS repository. I've made absolutely no changes to the source code. No kernel tweaks, no new features, no hidden spyware, no bugfixes (no matter how much I am tempted to do so!).
The LineageOS folks merge the monthly Google security patches into the 14.1 and 15.1 trees, but they don't make official builds for devices that no longer have a maintainer. Their official recommendation is to build it yourself if you want to keep your devices patched, but a non-trivial number of users can't make their own builds, so ...
... since I'm doing builds for my own devices anyway, it would be a good thing to make them available to others. Thus I have done so
Edit: argh, rereading I realize I didn't directly answer your exact question. From an end-user perspective, these builds are indeed frozen in time compared to the last official LineageOS build. Security patches happen as described above.
The Nexus 7 never received an official 15.1 build as far as I can tell, so I'm generating 14.1 for it.
The Nexus 5 is a bit of a grey area, in that builds generated from the 15.1 branch work fine with the exception of Bluetooth (from what I hear, as I don't use Bluetooth on my device). It appears to require a device repartition if you want to use Google apps, though, so I'm building both 14.1 and 15.1 to keep options option.

OK. Thanks for the explanation. Sorry to ask again, but does that mean that I only have to update once a month for the security updates, and that the other weekly builds are basically just repeats? Or am I misunderstanding?

They're repeats. I'm doing them weekly to reduce the amount of time between the security patch hitting the tree and having a patched build available.

Outstanding. That is exactly the reason why I'm making these builds. There's no reason to trash perfectly good hardware. Kudos to the LineageOS folks for keeping the tree patched -- the only thing missing were, um, actual builds.
Hi !
Thank you for your LOS 14.1 updating release, but I have error 7 with TWRP when I try flash it.

Make certain you're flashing the correct image. Boot into the bootloader and verify that the platform is the same as the build variant you are flashing. Good luck.
Thank you so much for this @wileyc , is possible to add 15.1 for flo?

I'm afraid not. These are built from unmodified LineageOS source repo; I'm just providing sustaining builds, not doing new development/porting.
Thank you for these!! This rom runs perfect on the FLO. I hope you continue the updates for a long time!!

Good day sir, would you consider adding to the roster and doing sustaining builds for the Moto Z Play, https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/addison?
Many thanks for providing these builds for the Nexus 7 2013.

No problem at all. I've added it to the weekly roster, and a one-off build is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/addison/.

Thanks for running these builds! Out of curiosity what's the monthly cost like? You running these on a home machine or something like DigitalOcean?
Hi. One Question, can i update over last zeelogs LOS Build?
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.
I bought this device 6 months ago and since then I've been curious about custom roms in here, and some time ago they released the kernel source for Kyoto (Motorola Edge 20 Lite)
Currently working on TWRP. It's working but a few more bits to iron out before releasing. Watch this space
As far as custom Roms... Can't help.. GSIs work fine though

Oh, that's nice I'll keep my eye here in case something happens!
Is there hope? I'm a n00b but from what I've heard developing custom ROMs for MediaTek processor is basically impossible.

i think that has more to do with the source code being released or not. it has however been released: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-source-released.4407299/

Are you willing to test the kernel?
Sakthivel Nadar, has agreed to develop kernel and roms, he is maintaining roms and did bringup for these devices.
- Poco M2
- Redmi 9 Prime
- Realme 1
- Realme U1
- Realme C2
He is also maintaining PE officially for Redmi 9 Prime and Poco M2.
All the above devices are based on mediatek chipsets.
Here's his GitHub for reference.

I would be interested in testing a custom ROM on this device. However, is there any risk of hard-bricking the device beyond the point of no redemption?
I have not been a custom ROM tester before.
