LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11 (R), 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. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

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.

What's working :

• Boots
• RIL (Calls, SMS, Data)
• Fingerprint
• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth
• Camera
• Camcorder
• Video Playback
• Audio
• Sensors
• Flash
• LED
• GPS
• SELinux Enforcing
• DT2W

Known issues:

• Nothing yet. If any, report with logs

Instructions :

• Download latest build from the download section below.
• (Optional) Download GApps
• $ fastboot update ./lineage_laurel_sprout-img-eng.arru.zip
• (First time) Reboot into recovery; format data and reboot system.
• (Updates) System updates will be delivered through System Update. Full A/B OTA supported
• (Optional) You can use the recovery packaged with the ROM to flash GApps and Magisk

Warnings:
This should work even with Android 10 users who haven't updated to Android 11 but I would be wary. All images to update to Android 11 is there in https://github.com/MasterAwesome/android_vendor_xiaomi_laurel_sprout-images. The OTA packages should automatically update these

Yup that's what I did

A mini review:

Pros:
1. It is built with latest sources so it has minimal bugs and more number of features.
2. Battery life is bloody spectacular! Better than Stock!
3. It's de-goolaged
4. Very stable, haven't had any force closes or random reboots.

Cons(?) more like Nit- picks
1. The brightness slider is not uniform (particularly in the last section to the right. This is present in other A11 roms as well so maybe related to vendor blobs? idk. Very minor bug.
2. FOD is very fast, but recognition is sometimes inconsistent.
3. The status-bar padding looks terrible (just my opinion).

Mehs:
1. Performance is... average. It's not terrible, but it's nothing special. The UI is responsive but not exactly "fluid". But it's solid and gets the job done.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this over stock rom and am sure dev will keep this updated and alive. Thanks for your work dev! We really needed this.

Bor can I install it over pa beta1 ,how is it compared to pa beta1 , please share some screenshots (statusbar, qs tiles, recent tab etc.)

 

[XDAnewone]

Yup that's what I did

Thanks.
From 12.0.3 or 12.0.4?

 

[MasterAwesome]

To clarify a little. It should work flashing it over anything A11. I would recommend that you've flashed A11 stock some time in your life. If you haven't do that because I know that works for sure anything else you can test and let me know.

Thank you for the feedback. About the status bar padding could you explain a bit more. I can change it but I'm not sure what is different.

The brightness slider settings are from stock; I'll look into it though.

About performance, I'll run some tests. The libc is not optimized for our chipset because it's the first release. I'm waiting for more bugs to come through before I start optimizing for performance.

There are some cool battery features there my SOT time is waaaaay better than stock.

 

[Sairagav]

Thanks.

From either version is fine. (confirmed)

Yes you can directly install over PA Beta 1, just follow instructions in OP, no need to flash stock in this case. Compared to beta 1, it's more stable, but a few minor bugs. battery is excellent but in PA it was kinda okay. PA is more fluid, but both are fast. I came from PA and don't regret one bit. But both are good.

Some Screen shots I took (I forgot to take battery ones,sorry. but SOT is around 9+ Hrs for light to medium usage)

Re Status bar padding: In stock and you ROM, the notch area and status bar "depth" or height is large. In other ROMs it's more compact. Not a problem at all sorry for complaining, but I noticed so I mentioned.

Re Brightness slider: Yea, confirmed broken in Stock A11 and also Paranoid Android based on A11.

Re performance: thanks for making it clear. It's not bad at all as it is. Appreciate your consideration.

Also DT2W is broken for me... and FOD has completely stopped working.
It was working initially, but now it doesn't recognise nor letting me add new ones.
The light still shines, but doen't scan.
(this might just be a **** up on my side tho so sorry if it's just my dumb ass)
Initially it was spectacular but now it's dead.

Can you give me the logs for the fingerprint? Dt2w I'll look into it, I might've removed it for the first build.

Where is the authorship on your commits? Trees are full of "KANG".
This is disgusting in relation to other developers and their work done.

Hello Tim! Nice to meet you here in the wild. Hope you like the rom! I'm currently on it for 2 days and I like it a lot

Hi,

Most of the work was done by me (ofc people helped on IRC etc), but the fixes itself was what I thought would work through trial and error. If I have missed an authoriship for a commit let me know I'll update it. The commits which I fixed audio from and something else was given authoriship to. The remaining was straight from my lineage-17.1 tree which had very little contributions from me anyway. Anyhoo, feel free to DM me about it if you want to talk more.

Cheers
