I read about all the pages (lots of info inside) and now I would like to install Lineage 18.1 (the 19.1 not for the moment) on an outdated CrDroid. I ask if the procedure is that, or should I then do some passage (ex. switch the A / B partition on installation or OTA update)?! The stock rom needs to be updated? However, I first proceed to back up the data on the phone on the PC and then reinsert them via USB. No need to install Gapps, Magisk etc. Thanks

This method worked for me. You cna update or not, it doesn't really make a difference. All in all backup in all cases to be sure.
Sorry, I realised that I forgot about the april update, anyhow, I'm working on the May one. Could someone test the May update out? The link is here: https://transfer.sh/5BPBgm/lineage-18.1-20220517-UNOFFICIAL-daisy.zip . It it works fine, you can keep on using it as it will get June's OTA when that comes around. Again, thanks in advance for anyone who is willing to test this build and provide feedback.
Thank you!
- Update on top of march (20220320) works
- GPS seems to work
- Camera works
- Wlan works
- Mobile internet works
- Phone call works (mic/speaker works)
- Bluetooth works (tested bluetooth audio)
- Adaptive brightness works
- Smooth, no stuttering, so far no crash or sudden reboot detected
I dont know if it was this Rom Update or Updating opengapps with it what fixed a weird error where I didnt receive push notifications in one banking App I'm using.
One problem I'm having is that YouTube seems to buffer more frequently when listening through bluetooth (mi true wirless earbuds Basic 2) but this problem was present in all releases maybe it's the earbuds themselves dunno. Edit: just did a quick research seems to be a common problem with some devices that WiFi slows down while Bluetooth devices are connected so definetly not rom related issue.
other than that I can confirm rtfmguy's statement and have not encountered any problems so far. thanks for this update

LineageOS 18.1 is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11/R, 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.

What's working:
Boots
RIL
Fingerprint
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
Camera
Audio
Sensors
Flash
LED
GPS
Known issues:
You tell me
Installation:
- Download the latest build from here
- Download LinkBoi00's version of TWRP here
- Reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
- Fastboot into TWRP recovery (fastboot boot twrp*.img)
- Do a factory reset in TWRP
- Flash the latest build of Lineage OS
- Boot into your new phone
Most of us will want the basic functionality like Google Play, Maps and others, therefore I recommend downloading Gapps. You choose your own, but I recommend OpenGapps. They are among the few that can survive OTA updates.
If you do this, I recommend booting into the new LineageOS first, then reboot to recovery, do a factory reset and then only flash the gapps. If you don't do this, the gapps won't install properly

Ending words:
This is a follow-up to the Lineage 17.1 ROM that I was working on. You cannot just upgrade from it to this via the system updater, you have to go through the process above. As said before, this is mostly possible due to Lyceris-chan, go support him. If you have any errors or questions feel free to ask in the thread. As for official status, might happen, probably not, I don't have enough time to make the push. As for MicroG, I plan to publish a build too, keep an eye out on xda. If I failed to credit you, make yourself known.

Donate:
By no means is it mandatory, I do this because I find it interesting. But it takes a lot of time and also requires me to have a powerful server, so if you could spare some change, I would be grateful.

MicroG:
If you know what this is, then feel free to install it. This is the same ROM as above, but "debloated" of Google Services that are replaced with open-source alternatives. It mainly works the same, but most daily users will prefer the "normal version". This ROM has its own separate OTA engine, so it should receive updates over it too. You can download it here. The install process is very similar, just don't install Gapps at the end.
