[ROM][H830|H850|RS988] UNOFFICIAL LineageOS-16.0 for G5

[x86cpu]

WARNING: BETA BUILD. There may be numerous issues still.

Disclaimer

Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Introduction

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock android for your device. More info.


These are my UNOFFICIAL builds of LineageOS-16.0 for LG G5 variants. I did NOT create this ROM. I am helping to contribute to this ROM. Thanks to all other coders who contributed to LineageOS.

IMPORTANT

• BACKUP! These are UNTESTED builds. Please be ready to recover your previous ROM. If it kernel panic, boots into bootloader, etc... grab as much info as you can.
• Builds are done periodically (see download below)
• Do NOT be rude.
• Respect all users.
• Any and all users, please help each other. I have a rs988 variant, so other variants might have some issues.

For broken issues see 2nd post

Issues:

• WiFi or Bluetooth MAC is "00:00:00:00:00:00" - You wiped the misc partition, you'll need to fix: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70474540&postcount=12 (Should be fixed by static hax thanks for @Blaises)
• 5Ghz tether not working due to "error

Install

• You can upgrade from 15.1 (UNOFFICIAL) to 16.0. If you are not on my UNOFFICIAL yet, flash the to-x86cpu.zip first (and reboot recover before upgrade, not reboot into system).
• Flash to-x86cpu.zip if needed. (See Downloads below)
• Flash UNOFFICIAL ROM
• Wipe cache, and dalvik cache
• Magisk if you choose
• Flash GAPPS (I use nano)
• Reboot and wait....

(Copied from OFFICIAL thread)
To enable Developer Options go to Settings, About Phone and repeatedly press Build Number.
If you use ADB read this: PSA by CM
If you use reboot to recovery read this: PSA by CM
Regarding new Superuser: PSA by CM


Bugs
If you encounter issues/bugs that are not known, please report. This is not the OFFICIAL ROM, but I can help to get any issues fixed. I use the rs988 variant. If I can replicate your issue then I can track it down. If I cannot, please provide as much detail as possible. Logcats are great.
Please indicate what G5 variant you have (h830, h850, rs988) and the dated version. Any mods (no judgment) as well.
I am aware people run mods or change things. I am not against it (as I do myself). However, if needed I may ask you to data wipe (you can say no), or remove a mod that might be interfering. I will do the best I can.


Thanks

• Any and all users in this thread who contributed or will contribute to making this ROM as stable as possible
• LineageOS Team
• @Rashed97 for continuing help

Issues

What is working:

• WiFi
• Camera
• NFC
• Bluetooth
• 2.4 Ghz Hotspot
• USB OTG

What is NOT working:

• VoLTE and WiFi calling do not (and most likely never will).
• 5.0 Ghz Hotspot (still)
• IR
• Encrpytion is untested, so it may fail.

Anything else NOT listed above might or might not work. I will adjust as necessary and reports. If anyone has any knowledge and can troubleshoot and fix the NOT working items, let me know.

I typically do. Plus with 16.0 you'll be to flash the 9.0 gapps.

Also the adaptive navigation and notification bars dont respond right away

Till now,everything works fine.The first start up will be a little long

 

[Reznor7]

On an RS988 here. Wide angle doesn't work, and the Netflix app crashes on load. Other than that, it's performing well.

 

[bernardobas]
