Question Custom Rom Support for ONEPLUS NORD 2T

[Kartikey Negi]

It's a Preety Premium Device.
But..The question is
Will it Get the Custom Rom Support. We know it comes with a mediatek Processor which Seems Like... "Okay... No High Hopes"
But , The OnePlus Nord 2 also had a Mediatek Processor and It's Custom rom Support is Very Good . Is this happening Because OnePlus have a Good Custom Rom Community or As Rom Builders say "Making Custom Roms for Latest Mediatek Processors is Much Easier"

First we need a volunteer that cook a costum recovery...

If anyone need the link for the kernel here it is https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/andro...893/tree/oneplus/mt6893_s_12.1_oneplus_nord2t

So because *reasons* I'll also be getting a Nord 2T soon, once it gets back from repair.

And I'm thinking about trying my hand at compiling ROMs for it. Personal end-game would be TWRP and /e/OS.
That said, while I've got software dev experience, (needing to) build ROMs is a first so wish me luck!

Wanted to make sure I signed up here so anyone else working on it, wanting to test can find me!

So far I've not found people building for Nord 2T. But like @Kartikey Negi mentioned there's a fair amount of work done on the Nord 2 (denniz). Which has a very similar, but not the exact same SoC.

Nord 2 is using the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 (MT6893).
While the Nord 2T uses MediaTek Dimensity 1300 (MT6893Z, afaik).
Edit: looks like there's no "MT6893Z" references in a getprop of an actual Nord 2T, it just refers to MT6893.

On the spec sheets these look very similar. With the obvious difference seemingly being a newer "MediaTek HyperEngine 5.0 gaming technologies" vs "3.0" on the 1200.

They're also similar enough that OnePlus is using branches in the same GH repo for both kernel flavors. The one @PattasuBalu linked above. Has anyone tried basing off the Nord 2 work?

For example:
- From @SakilMondal (https://github.com/SakilMondal?tab=repositories&q=denniz)
- Or @Giovix92 (https://github.com/oneplus-mt6893-devs/)

I don't have any cooking ROM experience but I'm a low level softEngineer, if do you need help contact me. I'm interested 'cause my cell phone is too an OnePlus Nord 2T and i love murena software

Myself and @PattasuBalu have made some good progress on getting TWRP to work.
It still needs some more work to be ready for general use, but if you're feeling brave you can find it here

There is no way to fix this at the moment.
