Hi there, I just wanted to go about asking if there was a guide to rebase an AOSP ROM's kernel (Lineage OS in this case) to a newer version? For example, for me, I want to rebase the kernel of LOS 15.1 for S7 Edge to a newer one that Samsung has released recently. Are there any guides here that might be able to help me figure that out? Thanks in advance!

I just wanted to know if there is any flashable version of the latest security patches for any AOSP based roms? I'm currently running a CAF variant of Euphoria 1.1 on my OnePlus One and it has everything I need as far as features and I don't see any reason to upgrade to 6.0 yet. If anybody can point me in the right direction would be helpful. Even if I have to build my own version of the rom I'll do so as I do have some building experience (some, not alot).
Thanks
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.
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:
(Device: HDX 7 Thor) Alright... This is the first time ever for me to flash a ROM..
The principles that I have in mind is that I do NOT want the latest, greatest and most secure ... I want the lightest on resources...
As you guys probably already know with each new Android release it becomes more memory and power hungry, so I reckon I want a (stable and fully functional) ROM based on an older release..
According to my research I realized that most users recommend LineageOS but I can only find the oldest version going back to 2017..
Another ROM I found here in the forum is Nexus v4.0.5 which is based on Kitkat..
What do you guys think the advantages and disadvantages of installing either
-Latest LineageOS
-Fire Nexus KTU84Q (a very stable version of the latest Fire Nexus v4.0.5)
-Oldest stable version of LineageOS or CYANOGENMOD
-AospExtended (based on Nougat)
Im to looking for best option for wifi/bluetooth connectivity. Plus it needs to be android 5.0 or newer for the dedicated app I'm using.
Did you find a good one?
I'm in the same boat. Was running AospExtended for a while now, but the WiFi issues and GMS drain was driving me crazy. When it runs, it's very smooth and has great battery life - 1 month in standby, >>8h of usage. Trying now the latest LineageOS, but I suspect the same issues will be there.
Hey guys, I hope all are doing fine.
I'm wondering guys if there is any way to get an official Lineage OS rom for Samsung Galaxy note 8!!
All that I found are the unofficial one's and I don't know if it is safe to use or not!
Another thing is the Lightrom OS that I found in our site here, but I found those two things, which are Rom and Kernels!
Should I install both of them or only the Rom enough to do the whole thing, I mean it will also install the Kernel too!
Those were my thoughts and questions, appreciating your helps in this, and thanks in advance

I doubt we will see Official Lineage OS as it requires too much work and the developer does not have the free time. The source code is posted on the thread so if there was anything dodgy in there someone would pick up on it, especially by now. Lineage 17.1 does get monthly builds for the security patches via OTA. If you're interested in flashing it you can get the latest builds here - https://images.stricted.net/lineageos/greatlte/
I can't comment on Lightrom as I believe there are a number of Lightrom's and I'm not sure to which one you refer to.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kindness reply, I will see about the lineage, it is the one I trust in more in terms of open source Roms.
As for the Lightrom and my question about it, it could come on any other Rom, I mean in general if there's a Rom and a Kernel should I install them both or only will do the whole work (I mean by that it will install both Rom and a Kernel in a single installation process), in which I doubt, but just want to make sure, because it's my first time thinking of installing custom kernel.

Happy to help.
When you flash a rom it will flash the kernel too at the same time.
