• build
• OTAUpdates
• and the (also slightly modified) device-tree:

Instructions
MarshMallow bootloader is required or you will not be able to boot the rom !
Latest stock firmware is recommended before installing this rom, even if it might work with older versions !

1. Use the TWRP from the download-link for your device above (needs to be flashed from existing TWRP, ODIN version might come)
2. Download the latest build
3. Put it on your device
4. Reboot to TWRP
5. If you want to be sure wipe the device
6. Flash the latest build
7. Clean Cache and Dalvik if you want
8. Reboot and enjoy

Others

OTA is available with recent builds.
As it's official now, I abandoned my own OTA-app for this Rom.

Easily rootable with the great Magisk (stable) by @topjohnwu.

Exchange2 for Oreo is included and will be installed as system-app (I need this for my work).

I use it as daily driver without major issues.

I use microG as google replacement and for push-services, signature-spoofing is already build into the rom but need to be granted manually (as root):

pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE

Sorry, forgotten (too late yesterday), I added them to OP.

Is there the same problem of 2nd sim incall audio

It's the same device-tree as the unoficial LineageOS 15.1 and my Validus, so it has the same (device-specific) issues.

 

[gau23rav]

Then how to fix it.....????any solution....??

Thanks,
Does it have Volte, I have a J5H (3g variant ). Please support, the old gods will bless you with great health and wisdom (not sure about the new ones, they tend to act like douchebags)

Sent from my j53g using XDA Labs

Read the op it says it has same bugs as lineage 15.1. It's built from the same device tree.
It was mentioned a million times that no aosp/lineage based ROM will have working volte

I guess sarcasm doesn't work in text, my bad, I was trying to be funny and I failed miserably (I guess).
*My phone is a 3g variant*
Anyway have a nice day

[GReaper-DEV]

Seems like it's the best around here. Waiting for stable

 

[kenjiYa]

Is the picture in picture mode works for others who use this ROM? I can't use the pip mode in youtube and vlc. I think it's a bug but not just too serious. BTW the ROM is smooth and stable for me overall. Thank you for this one ??
