Porting Lineage OS

[th3cavalry]

Hello everyone. I was wondering about porting Lineage OS to our phones. I've never ported a ROM but maybe someone who is more knowledgeable could work with me? I'm willing to use my phone as a test device. I'm also willing to put up a virtual machine on my server to use for building/porting the ROM.

Is there a reason we couldn't port it over? Or maybe a different ROM?

I've read around that certain gsi ROMs already work as the RP2 is a project treble device. I'm no developer or indeed have I put a custom on, but perhaps that's a place to start?

There's some people around here that report they have done this successfully, perhaps talk with them?

Don't we need custom recovery first?

Nope GSI can just be flashed, just make sure to factory reset and unlock the bootloader before doing it

all you need is fastboot
