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.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. If you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Wiki.
Important Info
To flash this rom you need TWRP 3.2.0-0 or newer. https://twrp.me/lg/lgnexus5x.html
Make sure you have the radio & bootloader img's installed from the stock oreo 8.1 OPM7.181205.001 Dec 2018 factory image.
They can be extracted from the factory image on google's site here. Or you can use the ones linked below that I already extracted:
radio & bootloader img's: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=286834
Those img's can be flashed with fastboot command.

For those that like the lineage cLock widget, here's the OpenWeatherProvider apk you need to get weather info.

Grab the one for version 16.0. It also works with 15.1.
