Installation Instructions
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!
You have to flash latest Lineage OS to patch the vendor image before flashing this ROM!

Coming from another rom/clean install:

• Reboot to recovery.
• Wipe system, cache, dalvik/art cache, data
• Flash rom zip and gapps
• Reboot

Updating from a previous build/dirty flash:

• Wipe system, cache, dalvik/art cache in recovery
• Flash rom zip, gapps and any other zips you may use
• Reboot

Substratum support is there as long as you have root and latest Substratum app. Some themes may have a little catching up to do, have fun testing them!
If you have any issues, grab a log after a clean flash, upload and link here please. Add steps to reproduce the issue in your post.
Do not report issues dirty flashing this over some unofficial build or with some kernel flashed.
Logcat Extreme app is great as you can choose to start recording a log just before reproducing an error and stop recording just after so you log just the part you need.

Holy cow. Does this mean you will also bring the other two GZR ROMs? Your hardwork is really appreciated.

You said it. (Sync of both Tipsy and Tesla started, expect releases today)

Oooh. Tesla. My fave! I'll wait....

I have tested 1080p60 and 720p60 YouTube on this build and they're working flawlessly. Also native 1080p playback and 1080p camera recording without any shutters.
I would encourage you all to test it and see if its working for you too.

Update:
Sorry YouTube does seems broken. I tested it on a video where 60fps worked fine. I switched to a more action like video and there was the lag.

Will test now.

Try to disable Magisk and reboot to see if it enables.
If it doesn't works go to /system/etc, find a file named "Native Packages" and remove the .zip extension after it, then perform a reboot.

Many people are saying here that SafetyNet check doesn't returns 'true'. However for me it is working.
Please ensure that you have enabled Magisk Hide from Magisk settings and you're using the kernel that comes with the ROM and not any other custom kernel. Also ensure you're on Magisk 13.3 (surely not 13.1 since it had the SafetyNet bypass disabled).
When SafetyNet check return true you can use apps like Netflix, Snapchat that would otherwise normally wouldn't work.

Uninstalling Magisk worked, it means I can't use Magisk? Or maybe not Magisk 13.3?

Hmm... The problem is I'm using Magisk and there are no bugs whatsoever. Can you reinstall it using the zip file to check if the issue persists.
