Introduction
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.

Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

What's working

It boots!
Display, touch
Audio
USB
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
RIL (IMS / VoLTE untested)
Camera (buggy)
NFC
Fingerprint scanner - Oreo modem firmware required
GPS
OTG
FM Radio
Treble - GSIs don't boot

Bugs

Camera (might be buggy; recording breaks after some time but should work right after a reboot)
SELinux permissive
GSIs don't boot

Installation instructions

Make sure you have: Oreo modem firmware and a 64-bit TWRP with treble and system-as-root support installed. Official TWRP by JarlPenguin recommended.
Download the ROM to the device's storage
Wipe: system, data, dalvik-cache, cache, and vendor in TWRP
Install the zip in TWRP
Install GApps if you fancy, OpenGapps recommended
If installing Magisk, reboot to recovery again first - otherwise it will fail at (un)mounting /system. This is a bug either in the Magisk installer script or TWRP.

THIS IS AWESOME!
Seriously, you're doing gods work in this community. I'll flash it right now!

---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 AM ----------

OK, just flashed it and so far it is very fast! For some reason tho, the SIM card IS detected but I have "no service"... Tomorrow I'll try to remove and insert the SIM again to see if the problem solves, but I honestly don't think it will. I flashed this coming from ViperOS 6.6, and the signal was perfectly fine there. Anyways, this is a huge project and thanks again for keeping it up with the ROMs

Thanks

As for the RIL, I noticed that on the first boot it says no service for a little while, I get signal shortly after the "finishing update" notification disappears. Aside from that, it works fine on my XT1794, so I can't reproduce the bug. Please flash this zip and send me a radio logcat (adb logcat -b radio). The zip will set a prop on boot (persist.vendor.radio.adb_log_on) to make libril output to the logcat. Also please start the logcat while booting because I need to know what's going on when the RIL is starting.

Sorry, but XT1799-2 is unsupported. It is like an entirely different device (montana_retcn, this ROM if for montana) and would require making a separate device tree, kernel etc. and a separate build just for it.

It is a pity that the device that you can still buy a new one is not engaged in anyone. I put the previous build LineageOS some even worked in addition to the front camera and NFC.

Nice work, I am going to test it, from our more known main Dev Jarl, I did find out this isn't treble tho

Maybe you should "Collab" in the future?

I'm using montana XT1792 and I can confirm that RIL is working, but I can't have mobile data access.

It definitely is treble, the ROM contains a vendor partition image (check the attached screenshot). It might not be fully working, we may need to tweak the VNDK or some other things in order to boot GSIs, probably move a bunch of vendor blobs around as well. And I'm pretty sure the new (well, it existed before but we didn't use it in Pie and earlier) /product partition will be an issue, since we don't have one and just put everything it's supposed to contain in /system. I have a (dumb?) idea though - use /cache, AFAIK it's only used for storing OTA packages on stock.

I forgot to test that, it is (or was) broken on my device too. I fixed it right now, so I'll try to get a new build uploaded soon.

Do you have "no service"?
Also, I just checked and my IMEI is 0, but that was probably my fault. But it also doesn't make sense tho, I was on ViperOS 6.6 which is Android 9 and then flashed this right after. Shouldn't be considered as a downgrade.... I'll try to flash stock and then flash this again.

The "no service" thing, is "normal" for now, new build later

About full custom ROMs

Make sure, that IF you dirty flash, to flash from Lineage 16

If you want to switch to this, do a [Bold]Clean Install[Bold/]

Currently video recording is broken on any tested app. Including the stock camera

Did you ever have Google Play Problems btw?

(Some apps wouldn't display)

If so, how did you fix it?

New build is uploading now, should be up in an hour or so.

If the IMEI does not show up (0 is probably default) then I think the mobile data fix won't help you. What exact device model do you have (XT179x)? I had to try a few different sets of RIL blobs (libril and libqmi) to get it working on mine, so maybe yours needs a different one. Also, you can try to wipe the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions (make a backup just in case). I did that on my device somewhere along the way.

Some random said:

Swift Dark Substratum theme

Some random said:

It turns out the updated libqmi (or libril) I used to fix the RIL also broke thermal-engine, which in turn broke recording. I tested the camera when the RIL was still fully broken, so I had no idea. Will be fixed in the new build.

Some random said:

Nope, no Google Play problems here, and I never used that build. For this ROM, I used CodeZero's cedric device and vendor trees as base and those never had that problem.

I have a XT1792, aka montana. I'll wait for your new build and see if it works. I'm guessing the problem ain't the rom itself, because now I flashed stock via Fastboot and my IMEI is non-existent there too... Anyways, thanks for your kindness

If there's no IMEI even on stock, then I'm like 90% sure there is something wrong either with the modem data in your /persist partition, or the modem cache (modemst1 and modemst2). Check that you have dhob.bin, dhob.bin.bak and shob.bin in /persist/rfs/msm/mpss. If not, then we can't do anything, but you may still be able to run the modem on whichever ROM works with the modem cache you currently have. If you do have those files, check the permissions, especially owner user and group. On my device it looks like this in adb shell:

Code:

montana:/ # ls -l /persist/rfs/msm/mpss/
total 96
drwx------ 2 vendor_rfs vendor_rfs  4096 2017-08-09 05:56 datablock
-rw------- 1 vendor_rfs vendor_rfs 16384 2017-08-09 05:56 dhob.bin
-rw------- 1 vendor_rfs vendor_rfs 16384 2017-08-09 05:56 dhob.bin.bak
drwxrwx--x 2 vendor_rfs vendor_rfs  4096 1970-11-06 01:44 mot_rfs
-rw------- 1 vendor_rfs vendor_rfs     5 2020-08-13 18:31 server_check.txt
-rw------- 1 vendor_rfs vendor_rfs 43695 2017-09-01 09:38 shob.bin
montana:/ # id vendor_rfs
uid=2903(vendor_rfs) gid=2903(vendor_rfs) groups=2903(vendor_rfs), context=u:r:magisk:s0
montana:/ #

^ So if it doesn't say vendor_rfs vendor_rfs for those files you should run: chown 2903:2903 /persist/rfs/msm/mpss/{d,s}hob.bin*
If you have the files and setting permissions doesn't help on stock (Oreo, because Nougat had different user and group IDs), try wiping the modem cache in TWRP (adb shell or terminal):

Code:

# to backup to internal storage:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 of=/data/media/0/modemst1.img
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2 of=/data/media/0/modemst2.img
# to backup to external microSD:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 of=/external_sd/modemst1.img
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2 of=/external_sd/modemst2.img
# to wipe:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1

@Some random Actually, you're right, mobile data is broken for me as well again. It must be this thermal-engine messing with the new netmgrd (once again, I tested mobile data before fixing the camera with the broken thermal-engine). I've updated the posts, I'm going to find a version that works and update again soon.

Camera crashes when I set to video mode. I didn't have problems with RIL anymore.
