ZT-a9606218That's simply wrong. Since we have the sourcecode for the kernel there is no reason for developers to not be able to port another android on it. Heck if you had a developer that was interested in a project like that you could have android 12 on the OG rog.https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/201244#Comment_201244
It is great that the source code is available, but it doesn't relieve Asus from it's responsibility to support the ROG phone tho IMO. Plus, the source code doesn't have what is needed to turn on VoLTE or VoWIFI which is required in the U.S. for the ROG phone to worked under the new system requirements in 2022 on AT&T and T-Mobile. Only Asus can turn on the ability to use said features on the ROG phone. Otherwise this phone is a "brick" in 2022.

DanishbluntYes, a custom ROM could be done that much is evident. But, Asus must update the phone's firmware to support VoLTE and/or VoWIFI in the U.S. something one can not do with the source code apparently from a simple search there are some hacks to do this trick but it is only temporary in nature and flimsy at best.https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/201330#Comment_201330

DanishbluntYeah, a custom Android 10, 11, 12 ROM on a bricked phone sounds interesting. If only the firmware was updated as well to enable VoLTE and/or VoWIFI would make the ROG work in the U.S. Hmmm.https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/201330#Comment_201330

ZT-a9606218What you wrote made 0 sense, it's clear you don't really know much about android development. That being said, seeing that there is literally no interest from the community to enable VoLTE and upgrade Android it's safe to say ASUS is right to not update anything, as far as the community goes, the device is uninteresting and dead. No point in ASUS spending time and ressources to please a handful of people.https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/201343#Comment_201343

DanishbluntMakes perfect sense, and yes I do know something about Android development. Even if any developer Asus or not were to develop a custom ROM from the source code would be useless unless the firmware was also updated to enable VoLTE on it. In the U.S. all phones must have VoLTE enabled to work on AT&T or T-Mobile. The OG ROG phone doesn't have VoLTE enabled for the U.S. market hence the reason of my posting and not to mention Asus abandoning the phone which is what I have been alluding to. Make sense now?https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/201411#Comment_201411
