These are my plans for the near future:
Current
- Support building for Oreo GSIs.
- They are more stable
- Better graphics performance
- Oreo is the starting point for Project Treble
- Most bugs are already busted and should be bug-free

No Plans
- Don't ask me to build Pie GSIs (I won't build Pie GSIs until this platform is REALLY stable)
- Less stable
- Poor graphics performance (I might be wrong)
- Initial development stage and just starting to rebase Pie's Treble from Oreo
- A lot of bugs to be resolved

Note: I use Project Treble based ROMs as a daily driver. Stability is the most important goal. Oreo = stable, Pie = less stable.

Anyways, stay tuned for more update!!

I sttill remember when you said you wanted to stick with MIUI, now not only you run to custom roms, but you're also building Treble GSI's. Awsome, bro! Kudos to you! Keep it up!!

Hmm.. Well, people's taste always change. I'm bored of using MIUI now plus I need a lighter ROM which requires less system and data space. Treble ROMs are easier to maintain and they can be flashed on almost every devices with Treble support! Graphics performance are also improved and good for daily usage.

Btw, Thanks man!!

Hello there!

Thank you for this ROM. I'm currently running on LOS 14.1 unofficial with minor issues. Was just wondering if the following are working on this ROM
-IR Blaster
-SE linux enforcing
-Banking apps(without magisk hide)
-Intune company portal app(this is an app that my company uses to enforce policies on outlook - I'm using with Magisk hide and a module to make outlook work)
-double tap to wake up.
-Device not certified(i'm aware of the GSF ID registration)

I'm a fan of LOS 14.1/15.1/16.0 stable & would love to use it everyday. But its just that i'm heavily dependent on my phone for office use which would prevent me from testing/switching OS on frequent basis. I've used official 14.1 on Redmi note 3 and it used to work full fledged without any addons, would this ROM head in that direction ? just a question. if it does, i'd be darn happy & i bet you would find a sizeable members in this community, who would be happy too.

Appreciate your efforts and help.:good:

Would definitely want LOS 14.1/15.1/16.0 stable as daily driver for me, but its just that i'm heavily dependent on my phone for office use which would prevent me from testing OS on frequent basis.

In the list that you've mentioned, currently only double tap to wake works. This is mostly not the ROMs fault but it depends on the treble implementation for the device.

- IR Blaster - doesn't work
- SE Linux enforcing - if you try to set it with setenforce 1, your phone will freeze and display a black screen
- Banking app, Intune company portal app - yea, because this is a custom ROM and mostly it doesn't pass safety net's test. you need magisk hide for it to work sadly
- Device not certified - you can make it certified but you need to use Magisk module - MagiskHide Props Config and Magisk itself of course. There's a drawback, you can't install Xposed or else the device will not pass safety net and device will not be certified

Thank you for the quick response. I sort of understand what you have told, but i'm not an advanced android user for now. just started with custom ROMs from 4 months. Not too keen on IR blaster for now. I did not understand the setenforce 1 issue. is it a ROM issue ? i'm using SE linux switcher and seems to be working on unofficial LOS 14.1 without crashing the phone.
As noted, When I was using LOS 14.1 official on Redmi NOte 3, device was certified and banking apps worked without magisk. this is what I was referring to. Would the "device certification" depend on the LOS being OFficial vs unofficial ? if so, i can understand.

Not too keen on installing Xposed!, not sure what it does. i havent used it till date, so probably wont use it until there are compelling reasons

About the setenforce 1, it's the same as selinux switcher. The only difference is you have to type it manually in a command line prompt such as "Terminal Emulator" in Play Store.

The answer to the question "Would the "device certification" depend on the LOS being OFficial vs unofficial ?" is that Treble based ROMs and normal ROM is only different in 1 way.
- Treble supports almost every device with a single flashing zip.
- Normal ROM only supports one phone per flashing zip. It means that if you want to have it on another phone, you have to make another "flashing zip" for that phone.

Because Treble based ROM aims to support as many device as possible, the ROM is built with a flavour called "userdebug". The main reason Treble ROMs doesn't pass " device certification" is because of that "userdebug" flag.

The short answer would simply be "no"

Looks Great！
Unofficial, is there an opportunity to officially?
Can update to latest security patch？（November security patch）
Can update the latest 3.18.x kernel？（kernel 3.18.125，Can update 4.x better）
Can update compiler to compile kernel？（GCC 8.2）
thanks！

Updating kernel to v4.x is impossible (for now). Current upstream CAF (Code Aurora Forum) release for Qualcomm msm8917 is only at v3.18.125. It's up to Qualcomm if they want to upstream to v4
x. Not every phone can jump to v4.x as different phone has different SoCs and age on market. I'll try to update the kernel ASAP and FYI, the higher the kernel compiler, the more errors it will blurt out during compilation.

I'm trying to compile Dirty Unicorns first. Too bad they have a lot of errors during compilation and I'm trying to figure out how to solve them all.

About official, there is already an official Treble LineageOS maintainer @phhusson. So, obtaining an official maintainer status might not be possible. phhusson is currently working on fixing bugs and stuff. This thread is just to update arm64 & aonly phones.

Goodjob，can your kernel absorb Inferno Kernel and DireWolf Unified kernel patches?

Hmm.. Maybe.. But that'll require some time

What custom recovery should I use? I tried OrangeFox Recovery but lost my cellular network signal
I'm not good at English, sorry...

Any recovery should work. You can even use the original TWRP. Just to be on the safe side, use the lastest TWRP recovery version available.

This will work: https://dl.twrp.me/riva/twrp-3.2.3-0-riva.img.html

I want to know what progress you have made on Kernel.
