LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8 (oreo), 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.

This rom is for z17 Lite
It has z17 mini in project name becase uploaded to z17 mini subforum, since there is no z17 lite subforum. It shares device tree sources and vendor with z17 mino and has its own kernel for now. Work in progress to make common kernel source for mini and lite and alao build it fo z17 mini s (nx589j).

Hey there is a problem installing the GAPP i tried to wipe the data/system but everytime I configure the Lineage startup the data show I have 0 byte and I tried to wipe it again and to install the GAPP 7.1 arm64 but then the startup of the lineage says I need to factory reset the phone. Any idea why this problem occur?

Nice job on this. It's much appreciated. I just installed the stock package from OpenGApps and notices a couple of problems..

My contacts won't restore - Stuck on "Preparing to sync"
Gboard crashes when I try go into preferences

Can anyone else test if they're getting the same problems?

EDIT: Sorted these problems by reflashing the ROM and also GApps before the inital boot.

I have noticed my screen flickering with this ROM though, like 2 vertical lines on each side (more noticable on darker screens).

Anyone else getting this flickering?

Thanks

So you don't have the Lineage Rom installed? With the original rom I had the same problem. Only this Lineage Rom and the Nubia Pixel rom with an installed CPU patch fixed this problem for me.
I need to flash the Lineage Rom ..but dun know how to install TWRP in NX591J..
Any instruction ?
