LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11 (R), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

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.

How do you install this UNOFFICIAL build? Because I tried sideloading it over the existing installation and it screwed it up.

Oof, this is because official builds are signed with different keys. A clean flash is needed to switch builds. However, there is a migration script on the LineageOS Wiki that may help you with keeping /data. I haven't personally tried it as I always clean flash.

I would love to try but after my first failed attempt and troublesome recovery, i.d. start from scratch, I cannot afford to lose access to my banking apps and 2FA...

Using the LineageOS updater would allow an easier recovery by just reinstalling the previous version.

I get it. Unfortunately it's not that simple when switching between official -> unofficial/unofficial -> official builds.

I've gotten some feedback from users on Telegram, so we'll see. One users said it works for them, another said it only works for them on sim slot 2. So waiting for more feedback before I commit these changes officially.

Hey guys I tested the unofficial build and the VOLTE is working. At least with my carrier - Telenor BG. I had it working from the first try - just clean flashed the unofficial build and the VOLTE call went through. Maybe you guys can let us know when we can test the official image with the fix that is included from the unofficial build :) Thanks

I'm wondering: I flashed the build from today via the updater and was very pleased when I saw that VoLTE was actually working. SIM slot 1, Vodafone Germany.

And now you say the actual change is not in this build? Then i wonder why it is working. Could it be the involuntary clean flash? Because I originally updated my 17.1 build to the 18.1 one.

PS: I also have the option to turn on/off VoLTE. It wasn't there before.

Hello, would it be possible to install LineageOS using another recovery (I have Pixel Experience recovery), or it is necessary to use the LineageOS recovery?

Thanks.

Assuming PE recovery allows you to sideload or flash a zip, you should be fine to use PE recovery. Lineage Recovery will replace it once booted. The recovery.img is there as an option so that there is a way to flash LineageOS without the need of being dependent on another recovery option.

When are you seeing that error? Did you follow the wiki instructions exactly as posted?
I started following that, but still get this

Also, how do I "Sideload the copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip package: "? it has instructions "On the device" but mine has no OS currently

Hi!

If I clean flash this (from the OP, not the test build), will I be able to use the updater safely on subsesquent builds until a version change?

    Changes for VoLTE will be in the next official build. I apparently wasn't fast enough to get them in today's build 😅

    Hi,

    I have a Long time since flashing an update. So I'd like to be sure: Is it required to first fall back to Android Pie (9.0) Stock Firmware? I'm currently on Lineage 17.1.
    You should be fine to update to 18.1. But, being that we are pretty far into LineageOS 18.1 builds, if you experience any unexpected issues like no mobile data for example, you can flash the important bits from the stock firmware using fastboot like bluetooth (BTFM.bin), dsp (dspso.bin), fsg (fsg.mbn), and modem (NON-HLOS.bin). Those firmware items (besides bootloader and gpt.bin) aren't wiped or overwritten like system, vendor, boot partitions are when flashing/updating custom ROM(s).
