The screen flickers? For the G-Apps use arm 7.1 pico.

I have cleaned the duplicates :good:
Next time it happens, you can use the report button (instead of using a mention) and one of the moderators assigned to this area will handle the request.
Thanks!

Hi, really excited to see this here - but I'm getting error on installation of the lineage zip:

In TWRP: "Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or a factory reset. Updater process ended with ERROR 7"

Any ideas?

 

[Kaijones23]

You have to factory reset and wipe system

Looks good so far. Am having some problems Android versions of Amazon apps. Their shopping app does not get past the splash screen and logging into the Amazon Appstore fails with error code '10'.
Presumably the lack of audio and video is a work in progress?

That's weird. We will take a look.
Yeah, audio and video are in work in progress.

Yep, that did it - although it required a few attempts at the wipe
Many thanks for the Lineage port - looks great :good:

Port?! It's built from source. The first LineageOS for MT8163 device!
Glad that worked.
