How developer friendly in OP?

[swieder711]

I am new to the OnePlus community. How developer friendly are their phones? I was planning to get a Pixel as my next phone, but the spec and price for th Op5 look tempting.

Can we expect TWRP support and custom ROMs on the OnePlus 5?

Considering the amount of ROMs and various other development we've been getting with the OnePlus 3/3T, I can think we can expect something similar. OnePlus is an amazing company in that sense - especially since unlocking your bootloader doesn't void your warranty. (At least with the OnePlus 3/3T).

All required sources will be released by OP shortly. It will be simple to port the trees to LineageOS, so we can build custom roms for the OP5. I will start building RR as soon as the LineageOS sources are ready

Well with op3 it took a while to get working fp sensor on aosp roms, and they still have to use camera blobs (for the people out of the loop, that means slower camera.

Of course we can expect that - every OP phone until now got HUGE support by xda-devs
But i think this time i will ony flash TWRP and use Stock OxygenOS with Magisk

You mean, as soon as we have a working TWRP build... Same here btw. But I will try to be more active here as I was in the Oneplus Two forums. Just ordered a Oneplus 5 myself .

I have had the op3t , op3. OP has been sluggish to say the least with dropping kernel sources.. if you'd like some entertainment, take a look for @fransisco Franco's lashing towards Carl Pei and OnePlus. In order for a company to be considered "developer friendly," they need to share the sources in a timely matter.. they have improved as of late.

With all that being said, there is great beta testing and support in the XDA threads from @FuNkwizard.

I'm looking forward to this op5 beast!

Why Magisk and not xposed?
Just curious.

OP5 is shipped with OOS based on 7.1.1 Android OS.
xposed is available for <marshmallow.

@zipalign ist right. Also I need to pass safetynet for my banking-app and Xposed breaks sn.

They released the kernel source on github on day 1. That's amazing.

They really should release the camera sources so custom ROMs can utilise them. This is a big annoyance for me.

Do we have any visibility of which Developers/ROM teams are planning on supporting the OnePlus 5?

I know there will be great support for this device, especially with the kernel sources and device tree already out but curious as to whether people like Sultan are making the move up to 5 or staying put on the 3/3T?

I bet there are going to be plenty of roms to pick from hehe, I just hope that paranoid android is going to support the OP5 aswell

Just got the information that the OP5 will be officially maintained by another RR team member. I'm thinking of creating an unofficial project now, but I'm not sure yet.

Ordered my OP5 yesterday and asuming Varund will launch his Ressurection Remix rom for it. Always used his rom on my OPO. Great stuff

 

[Deacon-Frost]

Anyone knows if OP will also release all the dual camera stuff?
