Introduction

LineageOS, an open-source Android distribution, is available for several devices,
with more being continuously added thanks to the biggest, yet ever growing, Android open-source community.
Join us and breathe new life in your device, be it old or new.

If you don't know LineageOS and would like to read about it before installing it you can take a look at the official Website.

Features
Individuality

Customization is paramount to productivity.
That’s why LineageOS promises to push for user personalization and preference.
Everyone is unique and your device should be too.

Security

Your data, your rules. With powerful tools such as Privacy Guard, you are in control of what your apps can do whenever you want.
Trust will help you understand the security of your device and warn you about possible threats.
We take security very seriously: that’s why we deliver security updates every month to all our supported devices.
And to make your device more secure, lock everything behind an enhanced lock screen.

Longevity

LineageOS extends the functionality and lifespan of mobile devices from more than 20 different manufacturers thanks to our open-source community of contributors from all around the world.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

Installation:
If you are on stock OS, you need a custom recovery first. You can get the recommended recovery in the official installation instructions link below.
If you are coming from stock or other ROMs, you need to make a factory reset.

Long Live to Sagit

 

[Juvept]

Thank @NeoArian


How good its the first version of it? Or should we wait a bit more before flash it?

 

[anderson997]

Dirty flashed, it seems fine except stuck at MI logo about 2 mins every boot up. Charging, will update battery tomorrow.

Wow, this was totally unexpected, thank you @NeoArian!

This is just the first official build. We have done plenty of builds already to bring it into a good shape. The build should be fine for daily usage for sure. I'm using it as daily myself since half a year.

Thank you

Already did a dirty flash from TWRP and it works well so far.
A small issue remaining is installing Magisk, which I haven't been able to install yet.

Edit:

Magisk works as well. Follow the instruction on Magisk site.
Had to patch boot and flash it. I did it through TWRP instead of ADB.

Big thank you @NeoArian

Thank you for your hard work!
At the moment I am using MIUI 10 Global 9.6.27 beta, with unlocked bootloader. How to change from MIUI 10 to LineageOS 18.1 - any special things to consider?

Made a clean fresh install, encountered the same bluetooth issue, https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/3529. Everything else is great. Thanks again Arian for the great work.

great!!!!

Excellent work thank you!

I have an issue with AA - as as soon as I connect my phone to the car, Bluetooth disconnects, and am unable to play music through the car speakers. Instead, the music comes through the phone speakers.

Anyone faced the same issue?

I also had the Bluetooth issue mentioned above, but solved it by disabling HD in developer options.

Cheers!

This is just bad timing for Sagit that bluetooth got ruined upstream, issue fixed now, so next build, the bluetooth issues will be gone.

the offending two commits that caused the issue:

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Bluetooth/+/310548/

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Bluetooth/+/310616/

and the fix that got merged already:

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Bluetooth/+/310818/

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_base/+/310819/

it works like a charm!
for a newcomers, don't flash the gapps after the first opening, it will cause a lot of problems, flash gapps right after the lineage os flash.

thank you for your hard work

Hello everybody, I have been using the rom since yesterday and everything seems to be ok. Only the paypal application does not open correctly. Does anyone have the same problem as me?
