LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.1 (Nougat), 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.

Bugs/Issues :
  • GPS takes ~30secs to lock
  • Torch cannot be activated from quick settings
  • External SDCard not showing up in gallery, etc
  • Fingerprint
  • LTE is spotty - only 2G/3G seem to be stable
  • Screen recording is broken (csc errors)
  • Camera saves picture in wrong orientation (workaround: lower quality to 11,9MP 16:9 in camera settings)
  • ...more?

Instructions :
  • Download the latest build and gapps
  • Reboot to recovery
  • Flash the latest build and gapps
  • Reboot
Downloads :
Reporting Bugs
  • DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
  • Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
  • If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
  • If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

I tryed. I installed and boot up. Everything works fine so far. At first it didnt recognize the SIM Card, but after one reboot it worked.
Thank you!

But which GAPPS Paket should I install? 64bit or 32bit?

Yes its working fine, I think it was because I was on AxesV1 rom before. Now I installed Stock Nougat and it recognized the SIM Card on first boot.
Thank you very much!

I have to correct my previous post. It still doesnt recognize the SIM on first boot...
But on second boot.
Hopefully it will be fixed on next build...

Hi, do you think this ROM can run on Galaxy A7 2017 (SM-A720F)?
Because the A7 have similar specs with A5, the only difference between both phones are the display and battery size.
I prefer pure Android experience so i'm looking for a lineage rom, but there are none for A7 so far. :(
Thanks in advance:)

Check out this build please:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545588125

Upon SIM insertion, it will detect the new UICC card and ask you to reboot (so you can use calls + data).
I checked it on my device, made a few calls and such and it works fine.

I think there is a problem with LTE.
It only finds a Network Provider when I set to 3G.
LTE doesnt work for me, after several reboots.
3G works fine...

GPS works pretty good for me. Instantly find's my position.
