Fresh Installation
- Backup your existing ROM first

- Flash the ROM File
- Flash Open Gapps: use an ARM 7.1 version smaller than the "full" size to make sure it fits
- Reboot
- Enjoy!

LineageOS-eXtended Downloads

LineageOS Builds for Thor (ggow)
LineageOS Builds for Apollo (ggow)

Gapps
- Open Gapps (use a size smaller than "Full" to make sure it fits)

NOTE: Here's what I do to solve the "Play Games" side load issue... Anytime I update my GApps zip file:
- I download the "full" and "mini" versions of GApps
- Extract the "GApps/playgames-arm.tar.lz" file from the "full" file and add it to the "GApps" folder of the "mini" file.
- Open the installer.sh script in the "mini" file and move the "playgames" line from the full_gapps_list= section into the mini_gapps_list= section
- I use this modified "mini" .zip when flashing CM-14.1 ROMs so that my Play Games install always works.

I've deleted the superfluous threads, looks like the deletions have happened because my project count has gone down so just waiting for it to take effect on the forum, there is a problem with the XDA site timing out for me on these operations.

- consider locking superfluous threads to prevent stray activity
- suggest adding [DISCONTINUED] tag to OMS build of LineageOS

I tried to delete the LineageOMS DevDB thread but it doesn't seem to have worked.
@Moscow Desire or @Darth
Would you mind deleting the following threads, they were created in error. I was experiencing a problem when creating this thread that is looked like a failure but in fact multiple were created unbeknown to me.

Here is a list of threads which need deleting:

What is different between LineageOS and LineageOS-eXtended?

Responding here as this is the core thread. See feature list in OP. In a nutshell minor UI tweaks and theming support. For general use suggest sticking with 'regular' Lineage. At least until this build gets some further feedback/testing.

Will the original LineageOS be developed further or is this a complete switch to LineageOS-eXtended?

Best regards

Give it a try, it should be fine, I'd be very surprised if it didn't work

This is an additional build option not a replacement for the original. You can always assume there will be further builds. I will announce if otherwise.

So over there https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/orig-development/rom-cm-14-1-thor-t3517481 I can hope for updates?

As far as I see from the feature list, the eXtended build mostly adds fancy stuff, no functional improvements. As I'm happy with the not-eXtended build I would stay with it.
(I still use the tablet mostly for kindle reading, just with the up to date app. So I do not need much fancy around this.)

Best regards (and thanks for the great job of keeping this great device alive!)

[KilgoreTrout71]

Just put this one on, since I wanted OMS support, and all is great so far. Also donated because I appreciate the work. Thanks again, ggow!

Does this ROM support 4G LTE? I have the LTE version of Thor, and I'm looking to upgrade my ROM.

Likely not. Data/LTE support is only available in KitKat based ROMs.

 

[BreakPoint12]

Could we get an up to date build of this ROM? I can donate to support if necessary.
