ASUS - ZenTalk

Hyper · ‎06-30-2021

Hello,
I read that former Zenfones were sent to important devs to speed up the development.
Was this also done with the Zenfone 8?
Especially TWRP would be important.

Thanks and regards,
Hyper

Yes, give me a chance, lol.
This is my first Virtual AB device and the TWRP upstream code in still a WIP for Android 11. So it'll take time. But don't worry; I'm working on it. I even have an initial device tree already, if you want to follow my progress on GitHub (I can't post links apparently, but just look for my GitHub).
As soon as TWRP is functional, I will be posting it on XDA, so keep an eye out there.

I think its much better if u join the telegram group of the TWRP devs and ask them instead. I dont think you'll get much answers here.

Speed up development - TWRP

Captain Throwback (lead TWRP dev) got the device so don't worry it'll get official TWRP support 🙂
By the way devs are present on XDA and the telegram group for Zenfone 8 so you can have an one on one conversation with them properly there
Zentalk isn't an platform for custom development talk

An older ss on XDA from May,he has the device now by the way

Some other devs have got the device too
Micky- Omni rom
Tbalden- CleanSlate kernel
Freak07- Kirisakura kernel
Wichaya- Google Camera
Captain Throwback- TWRP
From what I know these have got the devices from Asus
There's a upcoming Lineage os post on XDA too but dunno if the dev got the phone or bought it himself
And phhuson (gsi) bought the device himself I guess
