How many builds of pir are there? can't any of them be installed permanently or are they all still alpha that will need reinstalled after official launch? i want to upgrade from the original OPX android to to pie for daily use. i also want magisks if that's not all supper outdated now too.
LOS 16 is really stable IMO and the dev announced it xill be the one supported in top priority.
There is no evidence that there will be "official" custom Rom on pie for OPX.
so the custom pie roms will not get updates from google?

?? I don't understand your question.
Google doesn't do anything about custom roms.
There is just one dev that worked on some custom roms on Pie (Pixel experience, AOSP and LOS). He just tond that he will put the priority on the LOS one. Note that it's marked as LOS 16 unofficial as he builds it itself, not in the LOS offcial roaster.
Onyx won't even be in the 15.1 roaster as it has just been ejected from official 14.1 roaster.

when Debian gets updates so does ubuntu and kubuntu and lubuntu and xubuntu. custom rom or not it IS still google android pie, so when vulnerability is found a update is pushed out for pie and all pie devices get said fix. unless phones don't work this way which would suck and mean it's un secure the custom rom dev gets boared or no longer has time.

You are confused, android builds are device specific, every patch needs to be integrated and compiled by the developer or mantainer of the rom you're using and can't be used in any other phone. Google releasses a new version of android and it's up to developers to create drivers and kernel "stuff" that allows the software to funcion in the device.

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 ?
:fingers-crossed:

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 !
Android oreo has been released a few months ago but custom roms have just begun to appear and most of them are far from stable.
Also open gapps are still beta on oreo.
Why is that? Is there something new about oreo that needs special "treatment"?

I'm very sad to see R5+ development is currently dead. I was hoping someone would build a Pixel Experience or any AOSP based ROM for our device but even the oreo roms are dead or finalized already. So i don't think people have anymore interest in R5+..

The real problem is lack of updated Oreo kernel sources (how much less Pie). This means, for example, that certain display panels (eg, ebbg) cannot be supported by custom ROMs (you might have to go back to Nougat kernels for that).
Why not write to Xiaomi to release up-to-date Oreo kernel sources for vince in the first instance? If enough people make a fuss, perhaps something will happen ...

Xiaomi however isn't listening their customers. A big example is ARB system which absolutely destroys devices. So i guess we are gonna stay dead until something shows up..

Kenzo/Kate ROMs that support hardware encryption
I tested the following roms and can confirm that full hardware encryption is working with them.
Android 7.1
LineageOS 14.1 - Discontinued - Last unofficial build from 07-2019
Android 8.1
LineageOS 15.1 - Discontinued
CarbonRom 6.1 - Discontinued - Last official build from 12-2019
I'm currently thinking about building CarbonRom 6.1 myself with latest Google security patches - If I do so I will share the builds in this forum. But maybe I will switch to another device after 4 good years. I cannot and will not use a rom without encryption.

I don't think CR has been discontinued, it's just that builds failed for the past couple of months for some reason.

Test some roms, android 9 support encryption, android 10 not.

Are you sure about that?
The only post about how to use hardware encryption on Android 9 @ Kenzo is the following. He writes that you have to use MIUI first to encrypt before flashing Android 9....

Thank you so much! CarbonRom is very close to AOSP - it will replace LineageOS 14.1 on my Kenzo from now on :good:
sure. crDroid. Please try.
Hi everybody.
I was given a professionnal Galaxy S21 phone.
On the LineageOS wiki i can't find this device.
I also looked at /e/ but for no better results.
Is there still a way to have a free OS on this phone ?
How do you mean free OS? do you just mean a custom rom that's free? Then I could help.

And if you mean that you can just install GSI roms on your phone because your phone supports project treble
Here's a android 12 beta GSI ROM:
Download Android 12 Beta 3.1 GSI (Generic System Image)
Finally, the Android 12 Beta 3.1 goes live for the eligible Pixel devices after the release of beta 3 on the Google I/O 2021 Developer Conference event in
www.getdroidtips.com
1 thing YOU DON'T INSTALL IT LIKE A CUSTOM ROM! OTHERWISE IT ISN'T GOING TO WORK OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO INSTALL A GSI ROM BECAUSE IT'S A GSI ROM
And then it's perfectly okay

I don't know if your kernel is in here
Here's also a nice custom rom where you can customize almost everything
The different maps are for the different kernels so click on your kernel

You install this just like a normal custom rom

You could find many more custom roms but these were just the biggest custom roms that are supported for your device
if you want to find other ones you could maybe look around on this website
15 Best Custom ROMs for Android You Can Install
Looking for the best Android custom ROMs based on Android 10, 11, 12, or 13? Here are 15 best custom ROMs for Android you can use in 2023.
beebom.com
But you could also just search "Best custom roms" or "Best GSI roms" on google
and check if they are supported with your device (Gsi ROMS are always supported because you have project treble)
I hope this helped you!
Thanks.
I'm not sure that I understand everything though...
Free as in Free Software, so I was mostly thinking of LineageOS (since I guess Replicant isn't an option on this model), but I'm open to other propositions (as long as there's no proprietary code in them of course).
