Code:

/*
 * I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed (like it did for me...). 
 * Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in the products you find here before flashing it! 
 * YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. 
 * Your warranty will be void if you tamper with any part of your device / software.
 * Same statement for XDA.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7 (nougat), 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.

Thanks for the work you've done. In the future, plan to go to the official assembly?

Yes, code is done as clean as possible way to be able to go official. To go official it has to be rebased to oreo first. It should be not that hard now.

I can not adjust my fingerprint, go to my home screen when scanning

Had this issue too. Have not found fix yet. Workaround is to setup one fingerprint on first boot, it not goes home here. Second fingerprint can be added anytime later, , there is no such issue with second and later fingeeprints.

Hello,

Sorry for the noob question, but I cannot install the ROM because I receive an error while installing. Something like "this ROM cannot be installed because it is for device nx551j device and yours is NX551J"

How can I change this parameter?

Thank you for your help.

Is there other way to install? Yesterday I flashed the persistance.img posted by Mauronofrio without problems and now, for the life of me, I can't get my Win10 machine to recognize my device. I uninstalled, restarted with the option of not checking for signature files, installed, nothing. Uninstalled and installed old drivers and nothing. Uninstalled and installed the newest versions from Google and nothing. My win10 pc can't recognize my Nubia

And yes, I tried to make a working USB live image with FWUL but I don't have the technical knowledge to know whats going on and why I can't use it with my Nubia.

Did test this android 7.1 OS this evening, and there are some bugs,the camera did not work on my phone and goty black screen,with other app camara did work
fingerprintscanner did not work properly and could not remove or add fingerprints ,also phone sometimes loses and has to search again for 4g network while using phone
and got symcard message while sym alreddy did work.
hope you can do something about these issues.
i can say the phone is a lot faster an snappyer compaired to all other roms i did test

it would be great if android 8 will come available with this OS, this will make this phone a up to date phone for a bargain!
I think the M2 will even be faster on android 8
afther testing and tryed to restore my older rom i just backed up my the phone it did not boot and ended with a bick

i did restart phone in twrp and did flash the twrp i did use before and everything was ok again.
So the`re seem to be TWRP ussues between different versions, i did use the original twrp that was relased by TWRP app

First, thanks for the good work. I have found a serious bug, there is no processor frequency control and it is always full. Then heat the phone and drain the battery.

Yes, something broken here, will check it out.

The processor constantly operates at the maximum frequency. The battery capacity is 3000 mA/h and not 3630.

patrickjquinn · Jul 3, 2018 at 8:39 AM

Woah great work! Will be running this as soon as that CPU util bug is squashed

Just a thought, you've posted this in the general Android misc thread although we have our own dedicated sub-forum, any chance of moving it there? Might get better visibility? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/zte-nubia-m2

i confirm the issue that the phone is not recognized in windows 10 ,you can see the partitions but when opening there is nothing so see and empty while it is not and no files can be added.
this is a good start but at the moment this rom is not realy a usable rom, also very strange that it only can be flashed with the twrp provided. you get error 7 and also the message this rom is not suitable
for this phone and i am using the original TWRP provided bij TWRP itself. i don`t want to reflash my phone between different twrp versions to be able to restore my phone.
i had the official TWRP installed and did not work with this rom, so i think this must be corrected to and be compatable with the original released twrp , by twrp.
the twrp provided on the rom downloadpage also does load very slow and takes 3 times longer to load.
