OnePlus 6T gets unofficial LineageOS 16, CarbonROM, and more custom ROMs after device seeding program re-opened
Ever since the death of the Nexus program, OnePlus devices have become the de-facto option whenever someone is looking for a developer-friendly, yet “cheap” device (though the “cheap” aspect is no longer true). Not only can you easily unlock the bootloader, you also retain warranty after bootloader unlocking, and have access to the kernel sources of the device in a timely manner (which was Day 1 for both the OnePlus 6 and the OnePlus 6T). OnePlus also runs a device seeding program to kickstart custom development works on the device, which gives interested users many more options if they want to customize the software on their phone.
Good to see the seeding program has recommenced (to a smaller selection of developers). The smaller selection may also mean more competition amongst developers and hopefully also that the best quality developers for the OnePlus phones are getting the phones. Once my Google Pixel 2 XL starts to give up I'm aiming at getting a OnePlus phone next time around mainly also because of this great after-market choice that exists with LineageOS which extends the useful life of the phone.
