Cyanogen have reverted the commit dropping 801 support for CM14.

  Are they writing Vulkan drivers for the 800/801's GPU then?

    No, they're simply reverting commits. Custom ROMs don't need to comply to CTS. If custom ROMs will perform fine, this will bring a lot of flak towards Google.

      If an app requires a minimum SDK version of 24, this change means they cannot rely on an available OpenGL ES 3.1 or Vulkan implementation, which is contrary to the official documentation. So "most apps" will "perform fine" unless they rely on CTS guarantees. If they want to fix the inevitable crashes on third-party ROMs, they will need to perform the same API-level checks that apps needed to perform pre-Nougat. Which is the definition of "fragmentation".

    The 800/801 both use an Adreno 330, so it might be possible to use freedreno with Mesa's vulkan implementation. (Hypothetical at this stage.)
