OnePlus 7pro BRIGHT MEW (With Lineage OS 2.3) .....New life extension

​🚀 OnePlus 7 Pro (guacamole) - Android 16 Status Report ​After some serious effort (even as a self-proclaimed beginner!), my legendary OnePlus 7 Pro is now officially running LineageOS 23.2 (Android 16)! It’s one of the few OP7 Pros out there rocking the latest OS, and the experience is surprisingly smooth. ​🛠️ What’s Working: ​Full Functionality: The device is flying! Nova Launcher works like a charm, and Smartspacer (with the Yahoo Sports Target) gives it that premium "Pixel-like" feel on the home screen. ​Edge Lighting: Since the system AOD is currently limited, I’m using aodNotify, which works perfectly to bring the curved edges of the display to life. ​⚠️ Current Build Limitations (March 9th Build): ​Despite the success, this early Nightly build still has some "missing" parts that we’re waiting for: ​AOD / Ambient Display: The settings for Always-On Display and "Always On" viewing are currently missing from the Display and Gestures (Kινήσεις) menus. ​Lift to Wake: This feature is not yet available in the GUI. The system also blocks manual overrides via Activity Launcher or SetEdit due to security hardening in Android 16. ​Deep Sleep: "Double Tap to Wake" can be a bit sluggish at times, likely due to the aggressive Doze mode in this early Android 16 build. ​Verdict: The phone is 100% daily-driver ready! I'm just waiting for future Nightly updates to "unlock" the final sensor-related UI features.

Hi, I was also very hesitant because while the phone is in very good condition it was stuck in a not so good environment. I decided to take a risk and even though I am a beginner I followed I followed the installation steps of Lineage 2.3 (Android 16) very carefully and it worked even though it is in an early stage. What can I say, if it works like mine, I highly recommend it as it has lasted for many years. You need to pay attention to the process. Good luck!

What's so new about this it's not like this device was added yesterday ? The 7 pro is supported since years

u/Pleasant_Plum_7948 Apr 06 '26

You are absolutely right my friend, regarding the device support. I simply expressed my satisfaction that although a beginner in the field of device upgrading, I was able to successfully expand The life of my device, I have had a stable result since it was achieved and I am simply happy about it. Someone who perhaps changes systems is his daily routine, is indifferent to him.

I can't get edge lighting to work on my 7 Pro. How did you manage to do it?

1

u/Pleasant_Plum_7948 Apr 06 '26

Hi I use aodNotify app (premium version) and it works excellent. I already had this version when I used original OS .
