I'm merely working off others' sources and don't plan to make a proper release, especially now that Hardrock is doing his own (trust him instead someone who pops outta nowhere like me). Thanks for the mention though :)
sure thing buddy, the more the merrier ;) if you dont want your build listed here, just lemme know!

Why nobody update and maintenance Nougat based rom?
you guys can consider the nougat custom roms as basically "abandoned" because all the devs are completely focused on oreo roms now :)

that doesnt mean that any one dev might not possibly go back and release one final bugfixed version of his/her nougat rom, just saying!

Most Nougat based roms are close to perfection but still require last polishment. Sorry to hear that all roms are abandoned. Oreo based roms are couple of unusable **** so Nougat roms are still primary if not only one choice.

I don’t want to quarrel but I can't see eye to eye with u. I admit some oreo based rom are not that good, like maybe some rom got some kind of annoying bugs but actually there's nice one too! Like I'm in Dot Os 8.1, it's buttery smooth and most ui customizations are present. And the thing that i like the most is Android P Notification Bar as i ss below, it's really amazing! Have a try if u have time and if you're willing to!:)

Dot OS was always first choice rom for my devices. I don't use any customisation at all, stock Android is enough good for me although I still like Dot as one of the lighter roms. The problem is that probably all Nougat based roms have wifi speed issue and few other minor bugs. Nobody cares of that. Currently all developers keep their attention on Oreo, but before Oreo based roms will be polished and suitable as daily driver devs will abandon Oreo roms and they will carve in exctrement releasing Android P based roms. Personally I will be happy to see polished Marshmallow or even Lollipop rom for mi max 2 rather than never finished project.

haha no worries, i dont think it will be that bad with rushing over to Android P :) thing is, youll have to consider that the devs are not in an easy position: when Nougat custom roms came out, people were complaining about not having oreo roms and android P even releasing soon. now that oreo custom roms are coming out en masse, users point out that Nougat roms are not being polished...

so its difficult to fulfill everyone´s wishes.

however, from what i can see at the moment, the oreo custom roms are getting reaaally close to fully stable / bugless! some of them are only left with minor issues, if any at all. so give those roms a chance, check the threads and see whats up :)

i myself will be switching over to oreo soon, because im confident that the oreo roms are ready for everyday usage.

I run company and reliable contact with customer is more than essential. That's the reasone why I will never use miui with broken notification system and fatal memory management. Most of Nougat roms are enough good to use as daily, but Oreo is at this moment nightmare. I believe that more and more people will prefer rather features reach, bugless and polished Nougat rom then broken Oreo. Android is mature, new version from few release doesn't make noticeable changes it's much more to improve and add in custom modification by one developer then google will change in next 5 or even 10 years.

well, tbh, i wouldnt mess around with custom roms on a critical mission phone for business... just choose a phone that meets your needs both in hardware and software and leave it at stock to be 100% sure of bugless stable experience.

im amazed at how many users come arguing with this line about their phone being "super important for work" and then they mess around by unlocking bootloader, installing custom roms, rooting, etc. o_O in the end, blaming the dev for a non-perfect experience.

news flash: this is xda. everything you do and try here is on your own responsibility. so expect bugs, expect difficulties, expect a lot of trial and error.

if you absolutely need mission-critical stability and your phone is THAT important, just leave it at stock. simple as that :)

cheers!


ps: and no, im NOT telling you what to do. im just telling you what the consequences of your actions are. big difference ;)

Grimm oreo roms now r pretty stable only volume up n down left to fix so i do t see any reason why u dont want to go to oreo...but i will agree with you in the aspect of maintance we have 1 or 2 builts and then rom seems to be abandoned until 1 (ashwin) guy will fix the sound problem then all will take it and update their roms... Development is slow on mi max 2... Ashwin made nougat los then all like copy and make roms and then ashwin made oreo los and all others have same sound bug... Seems to me ashwin can develope and others compile different roms thats why we dont get maintance... Guess if 1 day ashwin fix his los the rest will also..
Anyway from nothing thats something
