General [ROM] Lineage 20.0

While looking for ROMs I found this that didn't make it to our page. Here's the link

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][raven/oriole/bluejay] LineageOS 20.0 for the Pixel 6 Pro/6/6a

LineageOS 20.0 for the Pixel 6 Pro (raven), Pixel 6 (oriole), and Pixel 6a (bluejay). Known issues: NOTE: This is an early-stage build, and may not be the most stable. It's more stable than it was when I starting building. The status bar is...

How "different" do the codes have to be for 6/6a/6 Pro? I remember that there was a separate thread on xda for OnePlus 3/3T development, because it was possible to write code that "worked" on both devices.
Could there be something like that for the Pixel 6 lineup?

Edit: Well, it mostly seems like the 6a is the odd one out, it's mostly the 6 and the 6 Pro that can use the same code.

I'm not sure, I'm still looking into that. It's not my build, just posted it

There are obviously different device trees and vendor binaries but most is the same. I build all 3.

I know very little about coding (or even about what a vendor binary is, for that matter), but how much extra effort is it to make a ROM compatible with all three devices?

Not much extra effort after the initial bring up.

Sorry for OT...

Main thing that, well, annoys the crap outta me is that there's more than a few great looking kernel's I'd love to try out but noo...P6/P6P only. So things aren't THAT common between the P6 phones. I'd guess it has something to do with the huge gap between the P6/P6P and the P6a launch dates. Like maybe the P6/P6P are 2 limbs growin' on their own branch and P6a is on a lower (later) branch all alone Back on my 4a I was on eng_stk's Blu_Spark and luved it...got my 6a and was thrilled when I seen his kernal...then realized it was P6/P6P only. Maybe we'll see more eventually cuz atm there's like 2 or 3 at most...if u know where to look. Ok I done whining now...

I did find out some information on porting roms... Ill give it a shot this weekend and post what I come up with.

What ROM will you try to port?

That's a choice the developers are making. The source between them on the kernel side is effectively identical. Same code, different build commands.

So would you or I be able to just use their source code to build the kernels for 6a?

I build from AOSP kernel source, but in theory you could, sure.
