Hi everyone,
I will be maintaining this on Sultan's behalf. A huge thanks to him and his work here. I am mirroring the changes made to Bacon with my own very small additions. I will keep this up to date with the latest security patch updates, and all of that stuff.
This is an unofficial LineageOS 14.1 ROM for the OnePlus X that focuses on stability and the overall user experience. This ROM comes with a highly-customized kernel, as well as some other very custom modifications.
Custom kernels are not compatible with this ROM unless otherwise noted. I will NOT provide support if you install a custom kernel.
ROM features:
Based off latest LineageOS 14.1 sources (root access is NOT included)
OTA updates via built-in updater in Settings
Nougat Stagefright camera hardening (improves security; more info)
Custom camera app that comes with many unique features (such as high-speed video recording with audio)
Custom camera HAL featuring:
-Automatic anti-shake algorithm (reduces motion blur when capturing photos in moderate lighting)
-Faster autofocus in low lighting conditions
-No stuttering/frame drops in camera viewfinder (viewfinder frame rate won't go below 30 FPS)
-Slow-motion video recording at 60 FPS, 90 FPS, and 120 FPS for 720p, and 60 FPS for 1080p
-High-speed video recording with audio at 60 FPS, 90 FPS, and 120 FPS for 720p, and 60 FPS for 1080p (you need to use the included camera app in order to use high-speed recording)
-1440p video recording with the front-facing camera and back camera (only with the included camera app)
-4k video recording at UHD and DCI resolutions
-Manual focus control
-Manual ISO control
-Manual shutter speed control (ranging from 1/5000th of a second to 2 seconds)
-More picture sizes than plain OxygenOS, such as 9.7MP 16:9
AptX & AptXHD support
A superb CAF audio HAL
Many other misc. improvements under the hood
Kernel features:
Based off latest CAF Marshmallow kernel source from Qualcomm (LA.BF.1.1.3_rb1.15)
Removed lots of excessive bloat
Rewrote battery driver (for the BQ27541 fuel-gauge chip; battery % readings are more accurate, there are various
safety mechanisms now, and you may get better battery life)
Rewrote half of the Synaptics touchscreen driver (over 2500 lines of code modified; your touchscreen may work better)
Newest-available Synaptics touchscreen firmware
Dynamic CPU input boost driver (makes the phone feel smooth without destroying battery life)
CPU underclocked to 1958 MHz by default (you can disable this; see why this was done in the FAQ in the 3rd post)
Vibrator is automatically disabled when recording videos (so the buzzing noise doesn't get in the videos)
Custom thermal control driver (features 8 thermal throttle steps; keeps the phone cool)
LCD KCAL by Savoca
Westwood TCP congestion algorithm (enabled by default)
F2FS support
NTFS support
No placebo patches, features, or compiler "optimizations"
Many other misc. improvements not listed here

Installation instructions (for first-time installation):
First, perform a backup of your existing setup, and then perform a clean install (wipe /data and /system; TWRP is recommended). Next, try flashing the ROM and see if it installs; if it installs without any issues then congratulations! Now just flash a Google apps package, and then reboot.
If you get an error when trying to install ("oppo.verify_trustzone" error), then first you must install/use TWRP recovery 3.0.2-0. Next, download and flash the latest official OOS release. Then, without rebooting from recovery, wipe /system and flash my ROM. This process is necessary to update various firmwares (including TrustZone), as the updated firmware is needed by this ROM. After flashing this ROM, flash a Google Apps package, and then reboot.
Installation instructions (for updating to a newer release):
If you are already running this ROM, then you can update to a newer version of the ROM via the built-in OTA updater or by simply dirty-flashing the new ROM build without wiping anything. HOWEVER, do NOT reinstall Google Apps after installing a new update.

ROM:
Merged with the latest Lineage sources.
Opt in for Cortex-A15 optimizations.
Kernel:
Merged with the Sultan's latest msm8974 sources.
Note: The build date is not the same as the date of posting it here just because I personally tested it so that there are no major issues! Hence, latest here is as of the build date.
