About LineageOS

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.

Important information

You need a recent TWRP version to flash this ROM.

Installation

First time installing, coming from another ROM

• Copy ROM to SDCard
• Copy GApps to SDCard
• Boot into recovery
• Backup EFS partition
• Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Dalvik Cache + System + Cache + Data
• Install ROM
• Install GApps
• Reboot
• First start takes a long time

Upgrading from earlier version of LineageOS 14.1

• Copy ROM to SDCard
• Boot into recovery
• Install ROM
• Reboot

[OPTIONAL] Converting filesystem to F2FS (thanks @michiil)

The ROM has F2FS support. You may want to use it instead of the default (EXT4).

This will delete ALL files/data from your tab.

What you will need: A working PC and a working USB cable.

1. Install the most recent Recovery
   Download the most recent Recovery from the second post. Flash the zip file in recovery. Back in the main menu press Reboot > Recovery
2. Format Data and Cache to F2FS
   Wipe > choose Cache > repair or change file system > change file system > F2FS > Swipe to Confirm
   Go back and repeat the same steps with Data. I got some error messages when formatting Data but they don't seem to be a problem.
   Back in the main menu press Reboot > Recovery
3. Install Rom + Gapps
   Connect your tab to your PC and copy the zip files on the tab.
   Flash the files, reboot and enjoy :good:

How to get back to EXT4

You will again loose all files/data on the tab.
Just repeat Step 2 but use EXT4 instead of F2FS.

How to help

When something is not working correctly, in addition to common informations, I may ask you to provide logs. There are different kind of logs and it's not always easy to get all of them. For this, you can use SysLog (available on F-Droid or Google Play).
Make sure to root device before using this app.

To get the logs:

• Start SysLog
• Click on 'TAKE LOG'
• Once log is taken, SysLog will try to share the resulting file, just cancel
• Send me the file /sdcard/SysLog/[YYYY-MM-DD_HH.mm]/[YYYY-MM-DD_HH.mm].zip

If you left 'Scrub potentially personal information from the logs' checked, you should be safe.

Bug

I got this bug when i try to set some image to wallpaper on home and lock screen the picture gets zoomed in at landscape orientation. I guess it is ok when tablet is used in portrait mode, but i have tried everything to set it to fit on landscape display because i always use my tablet this way. Does anyone else have this bug? Everything else works perfect .

I notice it too, but i try to set the wallpaper from a wallpaper app and face the same problem as yours and then i try to save the wallpaper in internal storage first and set it through setting(i use nova launcher btw), and its work just fine.

Dirty flashed this new rom, running amazing for many hours. After restart it stuck at boot logo. The same behavior after clean flash. Is it just me?

Don't worry. because bootanimation gone.

@nels83 Hi! Could you please build kernel with Binfmt_misc support?
binfmt_misc is a capability of the Linux kernel which allows arbitrary executable file formats to be recognized and passed to certain user space applications, such as emulators and virtual machines.

When Nels says "First start takes a long time" he is not kidding. I did a complete wipe and clean flash including the internal SD0 and used GApps Pico. The Galaxy flash screen literally flashes at a rate of maybe once / minute and I counted at least 12 flashes even before the boot animation screen with the goofy Lineage octopus (or is it a giardia) started and even that takes quite a bit of time. I think that boot animation was some kind of April Fool's joke actually. Second boot took just as long as the first. Just be patient and go pour yourself a drink and don't touch it. Pleasantly surprised that every one of the pile of basic apps that I installed to get started worked out of the box without Houdini as I was expecting this to be a big problem. I'll update after I have used it for a few days. Thank you Nels.
