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.

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.

Instructions :
  • Download the latest build and gapps
  • Reboot to recovery
  • Flash the latest build and gapps
  • Reboot
Downloads :
Known Issues
  • Hardware video decoding does not work
Reporting Bugs
  • DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
  • Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
  • If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console_ramoops. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
  • If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

Thank you, much appreciated! Is there any chance for the Shield tablet (original, not just K1) to be getting LineageOS 14.1 in the future?

This is great news and fate. Just bought this great tablet and soft bricked it trying to root Nougat. Nice to see it back and now have a working tablet with root. Without the bloat!

Remove any sd card you have attached and if you didn't when you flashed it factory reset it

Make sure you're using TWRP for your recovery. If you are I'd suggest downloading the rom again and if that doesn't work download the stock rom in this forum first and flash and then reflash this rom again.

You need to update the bootloader. M roms will not boot on the L bootloader. There's a link in my CM thread. I'll get them added here when I have a few more minutes.

Copy paste error: it's marshmallow not nougat!
Thank you... Fixed.

I had an issue getting root with supplied root add on at the beginning. Ended up flashing SuperSU zip
Didn't realize the 13.0 su addon zips weren't released yet. I hear they should be ready for the next release cycle next week, but as always, something might come up, so I can't guarantee anything.

Edit:

This is already for all variants of the tablet. Just like the vast majority of shieldtablet custom roms. I know of at most two roms that were K1 specific and I don't think they're even maintained anymore.

I tried, but it gave me "bootloader unknown" error, so decided to wait for the official version.

Btw, still suffering from the video bug in the official nightly...
I had the same bootloader error. I ended up downloading the full recovery image (latest available is 4.0.0 MM), flashing it, then doing a system update in the stock ROM to Nougat. Flashing worked after.
