First S652 device with Oreo firmware begins to surface.

Can we take firmware blobs from another S65x device and use them? There are still Xiaomi blobs that are stuck on Nougat like the camera.
I wonder how the Kenzo and Redmi Note 3 Pro crowd do ROM porting. They even have a 9.0 Pie ROM working.
I'm wondering if someone will try to create Oreo again, is this the end of Mi Max?
We already have well-developed roms only require a few amendments.
I did try that.. Took blobs from some Sony and another SD650 treble devices I don't remember... That's how I got GPS and most of the hardware working as treble device but couldn't get RIL working so I gave up entirely on the Oreo bring up.Can we take firmware blobs from another S65x device and use them?

Howdy.. so the hydrogen is, now, in the bin or what?I did try that.. Took blobs from some Sony and another SD650 treble devices I don't remember... That's how I got GPS and most of the hardware working as treble device but couldn't get RIL working so I gave up entirely on the Oreo bring up.
Making old style Android 8+ working is not a problem. That's how Note 3 and alike are doing it and I don't see the point doing it myself. The real problem is bringing treble to device with no-treble support from manufacturer...
Nope... Hydrogen is still my main and only device and will be for like 2 more months. Max 3 is in the bin till have time for it...Howdy.. so the hydrogen is, now, in the bin or what?
you know we would've rejoiced the nijel8 oreo without the treble

Don't worry, buit-in su install option got removed from TWRP a while ago but somebody forgot to remove orphaned UI strings...hey was flashing the last build with latest available twrp. got these errors on ROM flash.
any pointers?

BTW TWRP has screenshot feature you know...
How do you find the Max 1 vs Max 3? I'm itching for a new phone, I tried out the Max 3 at the store and I couldn't find any major improvement except for the slightly larger screen. The old 650 chip feels just as fast as the 636. I also tried the Mi 8 Lite SD660 and Mi 8 SE SD710 and again, I didn't find them much faster either.
I might go with a Huawei 8X Max for the gigantic 7" screen but I'm worried about Huawei not allowing bootloader unlocks and locking out root access. That phone runs a SD660 instead of a Kirin so it could be good for Lineage.
