LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

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.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

What's working:

• Boots
• Wifi
• Bluetooth
• Camera and Camcorder(video recorder)
• Video Playback
• RIL (Calls, SMS, Data)
• Audio ( Recording and Playback )
• Sensors
• Fingerprint
• Notification LED
• FM Radio
• GPS
• NFC
• Hotspot

Known issues:

• some saturation issue in camera while it is focusing (it was present on lineage 14 too)

Requirements

• Huawei Nova CAN-L11 (should work on the other models too)
• Unlocked bootloader ( here's a guide about how to unlock it). If you don't have the unlock key, then you no longer can unlock it. You gotta thank Huawei for not allowing unlocked bootloader anymore.
• TWRP for Oreo.
• Make sure you've updated to EMUI 5 first. I don't mean that you need to be on EMUI 5 now, but that you've updated to EMUI 5 before. I don't know if it works if you were on EMUI 4.

Installation

Make sure you meet the requirements listed above.

1. Download the ROM and put it on sdcard. Root isn't included in ROM yet. You can grab the lineage addon here (removal addon here). If you want GAPPS too, then download MindTheGapps (mirror or Open Gapps too (choose arm64, 8.1 and pico or other variant if you want more gapps).
2. Reboot in TWRP by pressing all 3 buttons (Volume UP + Volume Down + Power).
3. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik-cache.
4. Flash the ROM from the directory where you've placed it.
5. Flash lineage's root addon / GAPPS (OPTIONALLY).
6. Reboot.

Thanks to @wangdaning!

First of all, let me remind you that this wouldn't have been possible without @wangdaning, at least not from me. He helped me with money to buy a new Nova in order to continue the development. With this occasion, @wangdaning, let me thank you again for trusting and helping me! I really can't thank you enough!

You can dirty flash it over lineage 14, but obviously i don't recommend that.

Happy oreo day! Lol.

 

[GNUDroid]

Wow! Thhaaaank you so much! You did miracles with your hard work. I never expected Oreo any more. You did it!
Currently flashed successfuly. Even with a dirty flash everything seems to be very very fine.

Sent from my HUAWEI CAN-L11 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

 

[imkoma]

Installed and working in MLA-L11 all good so far. Wonderfull job @#Henkate thanks for this i really appreciate.

 

[AssasinAkindinov]

Project treble support?

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

And yes, thank you so much for all the work that you are doing, without you the smartphone would have died a year ago, I'm very grateful to you for Oreo and I'm waiting for the support of the treble that would go to Pie

 

[wangdaning]

Good job @#Henkate I knew you would get this done. Glad I could help you out. I will give this a try this weekend, hehe I am still using this phone until something better comes along. Thanks for the hard work and glad to see you making progress with your dev skills!

 

[Alee.se]

This ROM is Amazing!
Thanks Henkate!

 

[Alee.se]

One thing, installing CPU-Z and opening the app causes a reboot, hence, everything is excellent!

 

[Vinnom]

just one question, man.
Did you sent the e-mail? xD

Thanks for your hard work. These past weeks are busy, but as soon as I can, I'll catch up with in telegram ^^

OREO FTW (and then pie when you finish doing it full treble )

 

[#Henkate]

@GNUDroid, @imkoma, @AssasinAkindinov, @wangdaning, @Alee.se, @Vinnom

Thank you so much for your feedbacks and kind words! That really means a lot to me!

Project treble support?

As I've said in my previous posts, that will be in the future builds. I need to fix the present issues first.

One thing, installing CPU-Z and opening the app causes a reboot, hence, everything is excellent!

I've just tested and I can confirm that. I'll look into it.

just one question, man.
Did you sent the e-mail? xD

Not yet hahahah. In case someone doesn't know, I'm planning to e-mail Huawei, to tell them about lineage 15 on Nova, which isn't eligible for Oreo according to them. Although it'll be pointless, I'll do it for fun xD.

OREO FTW (and then pie when you finish doing it full treble )

Surely xD.

 

[babysocola1x]

I installed LOS 15.1
I didnt see where is Fingerprint.
So i add pin code .
And remove it . None security
Haha . And i see Fingerprint . Not need to use terminal.

Thanks Mod. Testing

 

[AssasinAkindinov]

SystemUI crach with screenshot 50/50

 

[trenisk]

What's not working, bugs?

Thank you for letting me know that it still happens and sharing the trick! I'll look into it as well. As I've said in my previous posts (lineage 14 thread I think, before I've published lineage 15), my guess is that some service is starting too late.

SystemUI crach with screenshot 50/50

I can't see your screenshot for some reason (XDA is failing to open it). I haven't encountered any force close until now.

1) You've did a clean flash or a dirty flash from lineage 14?
2) Did you flash some mods like xposed or something else?
3) Can you share a logcat in which you "capture" the force close or at least tell me how I can reproduce that force close?

What's not working, bugs?

Please check the first post... Also, another issue which was reported and isn't mentioned in the first post is that when you open CPU-Z app, the phone is rebooting.

 

[fmarx1]

Geekbench scores looking good! So much thanks for this ROM.

 

[GNUDroid]

Edited (wrong) bug report. Compass working fine. Delete this post.

 

[fmarx1]

GCam works on this! Just uncheck camera.enable_micro
