really small amount of custom roms

[InvolveX]

Hey
I was just wondering why there is not that many custom roms.
I come from a pocoophone and there was nearly daily new roms .

- not a lot of devs have this device
- people that do have this device don't have resources to build
- check telegram, there are roms, just ask around

So you are saying that there are more roms for 7T than just these which are listed on XDA forum? Could you share some links to these telegram groups? Thx

I don't know any specific, but I see them all the time. You can try joining 7/T series discussion group and ask what ROM people are using, and ask in kernel chats (that is specific to oneplus devices of course)

No hype, no sales, no development.

I bet OnePlus 6/6T is having more ROMs

Kind of wondered the same thing, also coming from a pocophone. I had planned to go custom, but now question if it is even worth it as there seems to be little support. I haven't run non-aosp on a phone in forever.

Also curious how you find these groups - only thing I know when it comes to telegram is clicking on a link to a chat.
Found a group, but of course no links to the chinese twrp. Only links I have found are on weibo and just end up looping around

Other people will disagree but having no working twrp is a big factor. Let's see what happens when OnePlus release there android 11 mash up maybe we will have twrp working and more interest ?

This TWRP works fine for flashing and decrypting on custom ROMs. So it's not that.

And Android 11 will not magically fix everything, if anything, it'll break things like encryption even more.

TWRP is has lots of progress as of late, fastbootd tools has been implemented, dynamic partitions are better handled. Only significant thing left would be ADB sideload.

Decryption is still broken on oos ? which is a OnePlus issue which will they will still break on 11?
Flashing ROMs from oos is a big issue which is still broken with this twrp

The decryption is broken because of OnePlus poor implemention of keymaster. Android 11 is once again changing keymaster which will break decryption even on devices that can successfully decrypt on Android 10. This means it will take time for TWRP to properly support decryption on Android 11.

When that happens, decryption might work for 7T/Pro because now OnePlus has to reimplement the new keymaster,. hopefully right this time.

As for flashing ROMs, just use adb push on your PC and push it to /cache or /mnt, then you can flash easily.

Just out of interest as you mentioned previously there has been a lot of progress on the twrp front why has nobody shared it ? is the source all available on git to build or am l missing something here ?

I can try to build a test twrp and post here. I won't test it myself though, don't have time for it-

Might setup building environment again and have a go myself if you do get the time to build l will give it try
Regretting going back to windows now
cheers ?

I am pretty sure you can just use WSL / 2 on Windows if you don't have Linux installed.

Everything has been built and shared over the last year. Name a rom. It's been built already. If you want more android R roms, just wait they're coming. But... Twrp works fine. Even on oos. Use LR Team Twrp (aka chinese twrp) it works perfectly. Flash away or what knot, I have never heard anything about a broken keymaster. that's the first I heard of that one. Flash whatever, build whatever, enjoy phone fun.

Chinese twrp does not decrypt on stock oos properly unless there has been a new build recently ?
Has du been been built ?

It absolutely does decrypt on oos. One must do a full format in twrp first. Then it works perfectly, every feature, 100%. Yes, I did du for 7t in December last year, or January.

Indeed it does you do a full format it works but then reboot and it's the same won't mount anything same as before.

Funny I have had no problems for 10 months, on oos or custom.
