LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9.0.x (Pie), 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. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Did you follow the installation guide in TWRP 3.2.3 post? My recovery is based on 3.2.3 by squid2 with small modification. I guess the problem is related to the 3.2.3 recovery. Please ask in TWRP 3.2.3 post.

ROM is working fine but can not play mp3 music. I tested on Pulsar, google play music and native music player, on MX player worked.
How is the music not working? No sound or the app is killed?
Can you provide log? If not I have to find a mp3 file to try the issue.

I tried the short mp3 and it plays normally, You can try search for "OpenBSD 6.1 winter of 95" it is a free song, I can't post links, sorry . I have noticed that mp3 on SDcard gives me this error "java.lang.IllegalStateExeception: songs cannot play, the media format may not be supported". and if the song is on internal storage the time runs but no sound.

.MP3 file playback error in most MP3 players

I also have problems with .MP3 file playback with this ROM. The built-in equaliser is not working for me but I use viper4android and it's working fine when I stream music. VoLTE is not working.
Overall a great ROM and really appreciate your work. Finally we have a pie ROM for our Moto G Turbo Merlin.:cool:
