LineageOS 14 compatibility libhybris
asked 2017-04-08 20:44:44 +0200
Are there any plans to build SailfishOS using the lastest cm -> now LineageOS versions? There currently only is a libhybris 13 version. But OEMs will soon start developing for Android 8 (Orio).
Is it possible to build SFOS using a LineageOS 15 (or 14) Kernel and Drivers? Is it a big effort to release an up to date Android and SFOS or could they share the same kernel?
I know that there's an german OEM building an high end device (release Q4 2017) considering to offer SFOS alongside LineageOS. If one could use Android Nougat (or higher) kernel and drivers the hurdle for building SFOS would be much lower. Any info on possible problems or amount of work to do this would be appreciated.
Are you planning to port sfos to some device or just asking?

I suppose it's still confidental but I sure would like to hear more of your device plans...
