On its forums, OnePlus announced today that the kernel sources for the OnePlus 7 Pro are now available on Github. The kernel sources for the regular OnePlus will be updated soon.
Having the kernel sources available means that developers can get started on custom kernels for the newest OnePlus phones. It also means that developers can start working on custom AOSP-based ROMs like LineageOS and Pixel Experience for the devices.
