[PORT][ALPHA][MT6735] Lineage OS 14.1 for brown 1 (V4701_I01)

[LiaFourté]

*** Disclamer

* I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed (like it did for me...). 
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. 
* Your warranty will be void if you tamper with any part of your device / software.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.1.2 (Nougat), 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. 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.

LIneageOS 14.1 has now been ported from source and is available for the Brown 1. This ROM is not recommended to be used as a daily driver because of its issues. As usual do not hesitate to let us know of any issues regarding this ROM.
