Description

I build and maintain unofficial LineageOS and /e/OS ROMs for phones that manufacturers stopped supporting:

  • Nexus 5X
  • OnePlus Nord CE 5G

Most of the work is making old hardware behave on a newer Android:

  • fixing calls, Bluetooth, camera, GPS and fingerprint
  • patching vendor blobs that were never meant to run on this Android version
  • cleaning up the kernel and tightening SELinux
  • shipping signed releases that update over the air through the built-in Updater

I also write android-device-checker, an open source app that tests a phone against a list of requirements. It helps ROM maintainers find and fix issues, and lets users check what a ROM really supports.

Everything is free and stays free: build recipes and sources and releases are public on GitHub. Your support pays for my time, test hardware and build infrastructure.
