    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 (Pie), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

    GPL compliance:

    So there hasnt been an update for a while since I've been working on building vendor img. Hopefully I'll have a test build up in the next few days. As it is it boots but there are a few bugs that I'm trying to sort out first.
    Secondly:
    I'll ask Bruno about what the process is to get mi8 official. I cant imagine there will be much required. I cant say it bothers me if mi8 is official or not but theres enough people here who seem to care so I'll give it a go.

    I just wanted to say thanks to all have donated to me. It is definitely not a requirement to donate and I wasn't sure if I should post anything here to sound like I'm encouraging it but I'd feel remiss to not say anything.
    So Thanks very much!

    Latest unofficial is close to perfect for me, everything works fine, it's smooth and battery life is astounding but gps is unusable on Waze, it kept moving my location all over the place once I started driving :/

    ew. Looks like my gps crash fix lost us some satellites.
    I'll do some testing and make another build soon.
