Introduction

• 13.0 version is totally based on @nexolight work, I just built LineageOS instead of CyanogenMod. The main difference is the new Theme Chooser.
• 14.1 is the main goal of this project, building 13.0 was only the first step.

Installation instructions

Be sure a MM stock firmware is installed on your phone.
Be sure you know what you are doing, you know to use adb and fastboot, you know to unbrick your device.
Download all the files you need and keep them at hand.
Copy gapps into sd card or into Internal Storage or a OTG usb. I used an OTG usb

1. unlock bootloader
2. install official twrp from here.
3. boot into twrp
4. make a full backup of you current rom
5. wipe system, dalvik, cache and data partitions. Do not wipe internal storage and sd card. Be aware wipe can be slow
6. reboot into bootloader either from twrp or using adb command

   adb reboot bootloader

7. flash boot.img

   fastboot flash boot boot.img

   and system.img

   fastboot flash system system.img

   (if the second command doesn't give any output, stop it with CTRL-C, disconnect and reconnect the usb cable, type the command again) this works for me and usually happens when flashing from OSX, may not work for you. I take no responsibility if you damage your device.
8. reboot to recovery (disconnect cable and reboot using Vol+ and power)
9. install nano open gapps ARM64 - 6.0 (optional)
10. reboot into system
11. enjoy

Status

13.0

What works

• SDCard
• GPS
• Camera (Use an app with the old api like footej for video recording)
• Flashlight
• MTP/PTP/ADB
• WiFi + Tethering
• Bluetooth + Tethering
• Audio output (Speaker, Headphones, A2DP) / Mic
• RIL (Read the bugs before you complain about signal strenght)
• Backlight and LEDs
• HWC (@XePeleato)
• CPU and GPU are fine
• Power profile (stock is somehow messed up 0o)
• All the sensors
• TWRP-3.0.2 Vanilla & Materialized dark
• NFC

Bugs

• NO Bootanimation (you can set one using the Theme Chooser, look for free theme LineUI on the Playstore to get the default lineage one)
• Signal isn't correctly reported but is as fast as it should be. (When you usually have 2 bars and 0 bars are reported you still have 2 bars in practice...) #medium-low - it's annoying
• USB_Tethering doesn't work yet (wifi is fine)
• Mac address changes with each restart (workaround here )
• Youtube (general?) video playback @60 fps doesn't work.
• FM Radio (no work done so far)

14.1

Still WIP, nothing to show yet.
I'll upload sources and .img once it builds properly and boots. Don't expect it to happen soon

FAQ

1. Will you port stock apps?
   Nope, I won't.
2. Can you add the X feature?
   I am working to add as many useful and supported feature as I can. If a feature isn't included it probably isn't available or I don't know how to add it.
3. I installed the X mod and now something doesn't work, how can I solve?
   Uninstall the X mod. I can't provide help on third party mods.
4. When will you release the next build?
   Please don't ask for ETAs, I am doing this for fun (and for free) when I have time.
5. When will you start working on 14.1?
   Look above.

Fixed some build issues in 13.0: brightness bug is fixed, wifi hotspot works, power profile is fixed too, wifi mac address bug fixed, LTE signal still to test ( no LTE at home ).
I am gonna upload image asap and update first post.
Now LineageOS build is as good as Cyanogenmod one, I'll start working on 14.1

 

[AD2076]

Everyone loves benchmarks, or not?

i hope that youtube bug will be solved soon, i tried 2 weeks ago and it was pretty annoying for someone who watch videos a lot, especially for videos that are 60fps only in 720p and 1080p modes

Can you link a video to reproduce the bug?

Can you link a video to reproduce the bug?

well, now im on stock rom and at this time i have to have it fully functional but i can describe the problem, when you click on any video, it works only in quality modes that are on 30fps, every ressolution on 60fps not working, that means its blank black screeen but if i remember well audio was working, looked like some graphics driver related stuff, lets say video has quality options from 144p up to 1080p 60fps, with this bug you can watch this video only in 480p because every higher option is 60fps, hope i described it well

 

[lespaul79]

Hello sir, I read that there are bugs on youtube however I have no problem on youtube with any quality, except because it seldom freezes the image and is resolved in advance the video. I am in cm13 but I think in lineage it will be the same
