@rogier-oudshoorn

So the XDA page for the official LOS 16 Oneplus 6T build release points to the files on the Official Lineage OS sites download page for the Fajita which only has Lineage 17.1 builds.

On their FAQ it says this

We don’t keep building, or keep builds around for any version older than 2 Android versions (e.g. when 18.1 builds started, 16.0 builds stopped and the builds were slowly removed,

So we need an OS that you can no longer get unless you build it yourself or trust some shady download portal someone has uploaded the files to before they were scrubbed from the official server. Just to flash it before flashing a test build of UT.

I feel your pain and it's indeed VERY ANNOYING when you are messing around with ROM's that need the LineageOS 16.x version as base! 😞

I had to wait weeks before someone uploaded LineageOS 16.x for the Xiaomi 9T (Davinci) for example...

I may try flashing it over Oxygen just to see and if it fails I will run Postmarket until there is a proper install-able version of UT.

Often the latest Android 9 Stock ROM of the same phone works too, but with some glitches/bugs so that's a good idea! 🙂

Anyways...

Could you please tell me more about your PostmarketOS experience on the OnePlus 6T ?
That sounds VERY interesting! 😃

Does anyone have a timeline for when a newer GSI will be available for testing? Or better when the 6/6T will get UBports installer integration and OTA support?

@antidroid I'm not totally sure there is a set timeline: I think basically someone needs to upload a recovery image and then basically submit it for inclusion. With the update you mentioned, it sounds like 6/6T are right around the corner for inclusion. Sadly, I have yet a few days to wait for the power of the FAJITA.

The switch to an OTA based build (that you can flash with fastboot) is work in progress. I've got a recovery booting (but lacking adb and there's mountpoint issues), and there's some associated issues with the regular boot now as well.

Please find us on discord or telegram if you think you can help 🙂

@Flohack that explains a lot then. I had tried previously to being up Halium with the mainline Flo kernel and had problem after problem because the Android image wouldn't compile under it due to some missing APIs that the camera libraries we're expecting. Good to know it wasn't because I was being an idiot and missing repos or something like that!
