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.

The source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

Known bugs:
There may be a lot of bugs because these builds are experimental!

ROM Installation

To install rom you should increase the /system partition size
This can be done for example with TWRP HH.R

GAPPS Installation

LineageOS Team have recommendations about GAPPS
My recommendation is BiTGapps for Android 12.1.0 for arm devices.

Google apps should be installed via recovery immediately after installing LineageOS. If you reboot into LineageOS before installing Google apps, you must factory reset and then install them, otherwise expect crashes.

Thanks for your great work!

Do you think I can go without resizing if I don't want to use gapps?

 

[SirRGB]

I think that isnt possible on A11 maybe even A10 anymore

New build (20230219) with february security patch is out!

Please don't ask me for OTA or any bug fixes.
I don't have Nexus 5 anymore and can't provide proper support.

Just to let you know...

19.1-20221126 is a DREAM. Very fast, extreme battery life, everything works (camera via OpenCamera)
19.1-20230219 - not that fast, long app launch, very short battery life (missing deep sleep mode, imo), camera unusable (stutter typical for Nexus 5 custom roms)

18.1 was almost as good as the 19.1-20221126
20.0 is like 19.1-20230219

I don't use any kind of gapps.
Thank you for keeping this legendary device alive, even though you don't have one

New build (2023-05-12) with May security patch is out!

PS: Android 13 and Android 12 roms can't pass new Play Integrity protection. That means that your device will be not certified in Play Market. The only workaround for now is Magisk with it modules. If someone know how to fix it on rom side (without Magisk) then please let me know.

 

[z3DD3r]

New build (2023-12-27) with December security patch is out!

PS: I've updated 3rd post with rom build instructions. Anybody who wants to make personal builds can use my roomservice.xml to build the rom.
