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.

If you need root use Lineage addonsu or Magisk

This rom supports Google camera mods. You can get HDR+ working with one of version from here https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ One of known working version is MGC_5.1.018.177624777-41364271.apk. to make HDR+ avaliable you have to select model Nexus 6P in settings and restart app (this means swipe it from recent apps or reboot).

have persist partition wiped, how to recover

I like the rom, but before flash the rom, I wiped data, system, cache, persist partition with the twrp recovery, and find:
1. wifi and blutooth is unusable (no mac for bluetooth, wifi mac becomes 02:00:00...)
2. nearly all the sensors are not usable now, but phone call and message is still ok

tried:
1, wipe and flash the official rom v3.09 from fast boot: nubia emergency recovery, not work
2, wipe and with nubia emergency tool v1.16, flash the recovery in fastboot nubia emergency download mode, no backup file and not work
3, tried QPST_2.7.474, but it stops to work frequently, and can hardly do anything

now I'm just using the phone without wifi and most sensors, is there any tidy method to recover all the functions of my nubia z11 mini s,
or could you please backup the persist partition, and tell how to modify the it to make it recover?

Thanks very much!

Did you backup params of the device,
If yes then use it with nubia emergency recovery tool if you didn't then you can get persist img if you search in temporary folder of windows while running nubia emergency recovery tool but you have to manually change mac addresses.

thank you so much! by default where is the persist.img file and does this file only exist during the flsh process?
and how to maunually change the mac address?:fingers-crossed:
--

it's in %USER%\AppData\Roaming\Nbrt\000ECB4A ... and is kept after the flash done.
the image extracted there is android sparse image, it can be converted to raw image with the tool here:
android-simg2img in github (no links allowed for me now)

there is only several file in the initial persist image, confirmed that wifi works so long as the three file copied back to /persist, and to change the mac addr, modify Intf0MacAddress in WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

Now, it's flashing the official rom, to check if all the function are recovered, especially the sensors ... later to report

So sorry but I'm not able to get that location (am away from my device) but you can find it in temporary folder after selecting recovery option in emergency tool.
Changing mac address is a easy task you can google it up and find many articles on it.
Or https://beebom.com/how-change-mac-address-android/

confirmed! now all sensors works, at leasdt for the vendor rom! I can flash lineageos finally!
but seems that for the vendor rom, the mac address is regenerated from other info rather than get from the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini ...

about the persist partition

for now, I flashed this rom, and before flash, I wiped the persist image and copied back some file from the initial persist.img, but after system boot, most sensors does not work still, should I replace the persist partition with the one which works well for the official rom.

the question is:
1. should the persist partition be wiped before flash the rom
2, may I wipe the persist partiton and copy back some initial file from persist.img after the rom boot several times
3, may I replace the whole persist partition with a working one after the rom booted several times

few sensors does not work for sometime

the step I flash the rom:

flash the twrp from the link here
wipe everything I can wipe(including the persist partition)
reflash the official boot.img, recover official persist.img got from the nubia emergency tool
flash the offcial rom with only the first assertion in the zip deleted(as the ro.product.name is NX549J and can not modify it in the twrp recovery)
wipe all cache and reboot the official rom
confirm that everything works fine and reboot to twrp recovery
backup the persist partition
wipe all cache, system, data, internal storage, sdcard, do not touch persist partition this time
flash this lineageos rom, gapps nano, su plugin
wipe all cache and reboot

on the fisrt reboot, seems that evrything works except for the four sensors:

gravity
linear acceleration
rotation
orientation

and the second or third reboot after installed many apps, they comback to life, but on the other reboot, they are not usable again, with the official rom, every sensor works on each reboot.

question:

why the four sensor is special compared to the other sensors?
why it worked once and how to recover them completely

thanks very much!

seems that it's related to the service bootup sequence or maybe, this problem appears in random on boot,
and I found once only the gravity sensor not working.

another problem:
if enabled adb on usb, it's better to have the service delayed on boot or there may be big chances that the adb device id is not initialized to ro.serialno.

Android_device_nubia_msm8953-common /sepolicy/ error while compiling rr

trol_sg · Sep 24, 2018

Thanks for your great work.
Installed and testing.
So far, not working: FM radio, which is missing.

Would be great to have Nubia camera working for this build as well.

Cheers!

Can't flash this ROM

Hello I'm really happy when someone still making new roms for this luxury device. Got lineage 14.1 as last perfect fitted ROM. I'm waiting really long time for Android 8.1 and when I was found it..just can't flash it successfully

I'm using TWRP Nubia Style and flashing from internal memory. Never had any problem with this option of flashing and with this ROM (Lineage 15.1) I just getting a red message after start installation about something like: "Error code 7, This rom is for device: nx549j and your device is..." And nothing. Tried to keep system readable only and tried too check allowing modifies,but still no effect. Can you please teach me what I'm doing wrong? (Flashed every other rom before without any problems. Like Mokee, Lineage,CrDroid,RR and etc..) BTW. Ofc my phone is Nubia z11 mini s (nx549j). And got a next special question.. Is really hard to integrate to lineage ROMs things which are implemented in original Nubia ROM? Like: Nubia Camera (with that luxury quality - Google camera is broken),Good audio sound - speaker,Qualcomm Izat function and etc? Why to not add it to rom when this is only for this model? Thanks for the response

What version of twrp do you have? To flash oreo roms you have to use at least twrp 3.2.0.
