What This Is
This is a personal project to get Lineage OS running on my Pixel 3a XL. I got the idea to build it from this thread of the Pixel 3a . It seems to suffer the same short comings of the 3a version in the link provided.

What's Been Tested
So far tested on T-Mobile (at least) with Nano OpenGAPPS and Stock OpenGAPPS. Camera, wifi, bluetooth, gps are used regularly without issue.

What Was Not Tested
Root
Squeeze sensor

Known Issues
eSIM doesn't work and has been removed
If flashing Gapps, an app downloaded at first-time setup Data Transfer Tools will crash constantly and needs to be uninstalled. This may mean you can't transfer data from an old phone to this one via setup.

Downloads
Unofficial Lineage 16 - TWRP
Unofficial Lineage 16 - FASTBOOT
GAPPS

Installation
TWRP installation: Flash via TWRP and Wipe data
Fastboot Installation:
Code: 
fastboot flash boot boot.img && fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img && fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img && fastboot flash system system.img && fastboot -w && fastboot reboot

Thanks

Great work! Can you share your repo? I'd like to keep mine up to date for bonito since that is a blind build for me.

Well, I tried to install Lineage OS but experienced some issues:

1) Open Gapps Aroma do not get installed, so I relied to Pico (no biggie, just to let others spare the 1.2GB download);

2) After TWRP installation the device is stuck at boot logo.

I started perfectly clean with Google' August factory images.

1) Aroma would be an issue with twrp.

2) did you perform a data wipe? Also, I think you need to be in July vendor.

Yep, I guess so.

No hurry, I'll stick to stock until LOS will be updated to August vendor.

Alright, so thanks for doing this.

I got it to boot successfully. Wiped, installed the TWRP version and Gapps.

Gapps did not stick. Everything seemed to work otherwise.

This does replace TWRP with lineages recovery FYI.

I reinstalled TWRP and attempted to root and reinstall gapps and ended up with a bootloop.

I will explore more this weekend when I have more time to mess around.

Same. Without root and the ability to use Magisk Hide, I can't use Google Pay. If I can't use Google Pay, then there's not much reason to have the Pixel 3a XL over the Moto G7 Power.

Like a few of you, I'll be sticking with stock until I get confirmation of working Magisk and Google Pay.

I can confirm Magisk is working,as well as Viper4Android. was able to get Pico Gapps to stick. I flashed Pico Gapps after first boot, not sure if it makes a difference. don't use GPay very much so not sure if it works.

Also, what kind of nav bar do you have?

Oreo style- back, home, recent

Or pie style- little pill

Google Pay works fine w/ MagiskHide on StatixOS, only problem is ZV Nexus has decided to stop maintaining it, meaning you'll only have a July security patch.

Hi, thanks for the ROM. I had some trouble with the TWRP zip - it would only boot to Lineage recovery. So I did the fastboot install method, booted to Lineage, finished the initial (Lineage) setup, rebooted and flashed Nano GAPPS, then added my Google account, then clicked Finish Setup. At this point it will take a while and kind of hang up, but it goes back to network selection and if it says Skip on the lower left, it lets me finish the setup (you may need to first select Use Mobile Network and let it fail back to the network selection menu).

I did try the Stock GAPPS package but had issues with Pixel Launcher and Google Photos crashing so I re-did it all using Nano GAPPS and installed the apps I wanted from the store. Seems to be working OK now.

Probably my first time flashing a custom ROM in 4 years lol.

Edit: Pixel Launcher log:

similar experience as cstark27

1) fastboot twrp
2) install lineage
3) initial boot into lineage
4) fastboot twrp
5) flash gapps mini, magisk 19.3
6) boot into lineage...overall works

issues experienced:
1) cant install twrp. power+down to go to recovery just goes to lineage recovery. current workaround is fastboot twrp only.
2) google photo crashes initially. workaround was uninstall photo. reinstall photo. works ok now
3) phone setup crashes probably trying to copy data from old phone (known issue in post#1). i fixed by turning off wifi/data connections to complete setup.
4) long press on home button for google assistant causes the navigation bar to rapidly flash. buttons works. just annoying rapidly blinks.

Any updates or word on an official release from lineage? I feel the 3a / xl is getting no love.

There are unofficial releases from invisiblek, who just so happens to be on the lineage team and is pushing lots of commits for sargo/bonito.

I thought the link was somewhere here on XDA, but I didn't find it here. I can't remember if it's OK to post links in here or not. I might be confusing this with reddit.

    What's Been Tested
    So far tested on T-Mobile (at least) with Nano OpenGAPPS and Stock OpenGAPPS. Camera, wifi, bluetooth, gps are used regularly without issue.

    What Was Not Tested
    Root
    Squeeze sensor

    Known Issues
    eSIM doesn't work and has been removed
    If flashing Gapps, an app downloaded at first-time setup Data Transfer Tools will crash constantly and needs to be uninstalled. This may mean you can't transfer data from an old phone to this one via setup.
