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.

LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available on github : LineageOS Github repo.

The CPU is listed as mt8165 but it uses (mt6752/32) sources. The kernel source is the old 3.4 version which does build ok. The tablet was updated to MM and that uses the 3.18 kernel but Lenovo never released the 3.18 kernel source. I believe it's possible to build Lineage 14.1 using the 3.4 kernel but as I am novice at compiling I doubt I would ever get it working.
