As someone who created custom themes in the OG Droid days and tried a lot of custom ROM's, the good old days are gone. Even on the "easy" to root phones, there are a lot more hoops to jump through. Especially since the A/B slot partitions were introduced. It used to be you just installed a custom recovery, flashed whatever worked and updated directly from the ROM. The OnePlus 8 Pro was the last great software experience out of the box and didn't need a custom ROM. OxygenOS 13 however is a dumpster fire and I commend everyone who is working to make LineageOS or any AOSP ROM a reality. Thank you for your hard work.


Simple things such as easily swiping the notifications away, having a familiar and labeled settings menu, changing the DPI in Developer Options and having it survive a reboot, and having third party launchers work with gesture navigation are not too much to ask. The hardware is great and love the smaller form factor compared to the S23 Ultra. If only we could get great software too.
You are absolutely correct. OP8Pro was awesome until I upgraded to 13. I was hoping by upgrading to the OP11 that at the very least swiping the notifications away would be fixed but it's clearly an os13 issue. Also like you said gestures not working with third party launchers. I'm already waiting for the upgrade to 14 because they haven't fixed one single issue in 13 yet on either the 8Pro or 11.

Yet another reason to need this port, using a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ (Snapdragon), and Samsung ships a custom version of the google app that prevents me from using Google Bard via Google Assistant so I can't use it through Android Auto. Samsung's ecosystem is nothing but roadblocks at this point for the sake of monetization(They replaced the explore tab in the google app with "Samsung Free")...So obviously a OP11 is going to be a massive upgrade for me but I can't convince myself to buy it until this port is complete 😅

yeah my friend has a note10+ exynos and the only thing preventing me from installing lineageos for him is lack of volte

Guys we all want it to happen but experimenting takes time we don't always have because of real life. Chandu always open-sourced his work here so feel free to contribute to speed up the process
Good day, I have been floating around that link for a while, but can't seem to find the OP11 specific code, was it made private or am I just missing it altogether?

As far as I know, some people are working on it in their spare time. Their work is available on GitHub so feel free to contribute if you know what you're doing 😉 I'd love to see something booting on the OnePlus 11 but for now there is nothing more than work in progress. https://github.com/OnePlus-11-Development

Thanks for trying/working on this, guys. Hope is alive.

Now, IF ONLY someone could convince LuK1337 to participate in this..... I'm sure they'd be able to help.

Don't give up ☺️

Afaik he is working on AOSP bringup for the Galaxy S23+ (dm2q) which is also running a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (sm8550). It seems like sparse teams are working on different devices.

There is also Moto X40 work in progress, but
they're cherry-picking some commits from the OnePlus 11 dev organisation. So, I think they aren't more advanced that the OnePlus 11 dudes. https://github.com/moto-sm8550

    We all know the path OnePlus/Oppo went with development, MSM Tools and all, and I want to make it clear and short : I'm going to work on this phone no matter what. The OnePlus 10 series were a failure in this regard and I don't want the OnePlus 11 to experience the same.

    I've been in this space for quite some years now, since Xperia X10 times and Android 2.3, and my last device has been a OnePlus 8 Pro that have provided me great service. Sadly, the battery is slowly dying and I can't bring myself to purchasing a phone I cannot tamper with. I've always loved OnePlus and I have hard times considering anything else.

    If you're a developer, just wave at me using this thread. We need to know each other and work together to bring something to this phone. The obvious path would be to at least get a TWRP and a basic kernel built. I absolutely want to get to a LineageOS build.

    If you're not a dev, but you have deep understanding on how fastboot, bootloader, and all else means, you can be a tester. I haven't bought the OnePlus 11 yet but I'm going to work on it and acquire it if some of you follow me.

    If you're nether of these, you can still share the thread to other people to raise awareness.

    I'll likely create a Telegram conversation if we get to a few devs. If you're interested in working on the OnePlus 11, please post a reply

    EDIT : We are currently working on getting a stable LineageOS build as of June 30, 2022. It booted but it is still highly unstable and not usable daily.

    Just so you guys know, we're here. Most likely a lot of smaller bugs are yet to be discovered, but well, it is working :)

    GM everyone,

    I'm happy to report that Bruno, one of the devs working on the kernel with me and Chandu, has been able to build it and boot OxygenOS using it.
    This is an important milestone looking forward to the next big step : Booting LineageOS.

    Yeah this is very good news, but actually a lot is broken. We'll have to fix a lot of things. The Moto X40 team booted LineageOS today as well, very good news for sm8550 devices. Time for me to also work on a EDL DownloadTool guide and release now 😌
