You care a lot about privacy and security? You want an up to date LineageOS build that will not hold you back in regards of user experience?

LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

HOW TO GET GAPPS IN THE VANILLA VERSION OF THIS ROM:
Reference: *Link*

Follow these steps:
-Download Gapps from here: *Link* (MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64)
-Boot into bootloader: adb reboot bootloader
-Boot the recovery image: fastboot boot recovery.img
-Format data / do a factory reset in recovery
-Go to Apply update and choose Apply from ADB
-Sideload the vanilla version of the rom: adb sideload rom.zip
-Reboot into recovery: click advanced --> reboot to recovery (!important do not start LineageOS yet)
-Go to Apply update again and choose Apply from ADB
-Sideload the Gapps package you just downloaded: adb sideload gapps.zip, when prompted select "install anyway" after the "signature verification" message.



UPDATING THE ROM:

Unless I say the opposite in the update announcement, this ROM can be updated using the dirty flash method.

In order to do so, follow these steps:
-Download the new version of the ROM you are using (microG/vanilla)
-Reboot into recovery: adb reboot recovery
-DO NOT CLICK ON FACTORY RESET / WIPE DATA
-Flash the Zip-File of the new ROM: adb sideload rom.zip

Important: if you are using the vanilla version of the ROM,
you have to re-flash Gapps after updating and before starting LineageOS:
-Reboot into recovery: click advanced --> reboot to recovery
-Go to Apply update again and choose Apply from ADB
-Download Gapps from the link above
-Sideload the Gapps package you just downloaded: adb sideload gapps.zip, when prompted select "install anyway" after the "signature verification" message.

I was waiting for this clean Lineage port, but i need to make sure that everything works before i give it a go. I only have a single phone and i need pretty much eveything to work (NFC, Camera with decent quality, banking apps and AOD).
I will keep my eye on this thread. Thank you.

 

[uhuhuh]

Thank you so much.
If I install your microG version now, will I be able to dirty flash the version from https://lineage.microg.org/ when it becomes official?

I am using this build as a daily driver myself and so far everything works well.
As for camera quality: the stock LineageOS camera app is not really good but in the microG version of this build you can install GCam without any issues.

Thank you so much.

In that case formating data (full wipe) would be required. LineageOS has a preinstalled backup tool which makes it easier for you to import your data after a full wipe.

On a side note: it can take a while for this becoming official since LineageOS only accept source-built-kernels. This build here uses the stock prebuilt kernel from OnePlus because OnePlus released buggy kernel sources (NFC broken).
IMO working NFC is important which is why I will start working on making this official once the NFC functionality get's fixed in OnePlus kernel sources.

Hi!
Did you use OpenGApps Pico and followed the instructions in exact order?
It is important to reboot to recovery after installing LineageOS vanilla und then flash GApps.

yes.. it says storage space is insufficient

Thanks for reporting back!
I took the instructions from the official LineageOS wiki and did not test GApps extensively since I only use microG.
I will test this and create an update this week where GApps will work.
In the meantime you can use microG if you want.
It also gives you the ability to use Google stuff.

//EDIT: you can also try BitGApps, those are like OpenGApps Pico but smaller.
I updated the GApps instructions accordingly.
If you want to try those please start over again with the instructions.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I like the idea!
I think this can help with testing while working on making this an official port one day and also help with making this project bigger.
I will see what I can do in this regard when I have the time (set up the group etc.)

Best regards
