Lineage OS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.1.1 (Nougat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>

/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
 *
 */

Lineage OS 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. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). Lineage OS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for Lineage OS is available in the Lineage OS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to Lineage OS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

Instructions

First time flashing Lineage OS 14.1 your device?
  • Download the zip(s).
  • Install a compatible Recovery
  • Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)
  • Wipe data & cache partitions of your device (required when coming from stock!).

flashed saturday . back on stock . battery drain at 1℅ per 5 seconds . none of my backups in recovery would restore . flashed stock rom . nvram busted . had to format & flash stock then use mtk engineering mode to re-write imei . my fingerprint sensor refuses to come to life ( must be broken) in whatever rom .....this is my daily driver phone so going to stay on stock with latest ota and root + xposed because it works well and I need the phone for work . tbh i am grateful to all the developers and all the development but none of the custom roms have improved over stock+ root + xposed so far due to various bugs .eragon ( closest to stock ) worked the best but its android 6 and nothing different than having root+ xposed . perhaps our phone wasnt meant for nougat .its early days yet and in a month or so ill check back to see but i need to rest from laptops flash tools and usb cables and chargers late at night . thanks and goodluck .....

I hope the new version comes out soon ... I want to try it on my device. It would also be helpful if you officially update the recovery to make it compatible with the other devices (which have another screen).
