@razorloves Thanks for keeping this phone going. Just out of interest, what is it that stops this google phone from moving to a newer version of lineageos? I see that there are other old nexus devices that have done. Is it something with a processor chip or something like that?

I've been usine Linux for years. Made .IMG backups with dd a while back. Unfortunately I lost mynbackups and now I have a curropt persist partition. I really need a persist IMG to fix it. I have a nexus 5x and the partition is p24. If anyone can send me a copy. You can pull it from twrp or a root terminal with

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/persist.img

Id really aprecate it.

Bumped TWRP to 3.6.0 (not required, personal choice), right after that sideloaded the new build. No problems as always!

Thank you for another year of security patches. I'm very grateful for your support of bullhead and angler roms.
Wish you all the best in the new year!

Thank you for this great rom. Snatched a Nexus 5X last week for € 5,- on a flea market.. It's insane.

@razorloves Thank you so much for maintaining LOS 15.1 Bullhead for the Nexus 5X. Tmobile is shutting down 3G and I needed a VoLTE enabled device by the end of the month. I have two other Nexus devices. My 6P Angler won't read a sim card. There is an unofficial LOS 15.1 rom maintained for my 6 Shamu and VoLTE seems to work only if I can get into the *#*#4636#*#* menu and switch to LTE Only. But this rom has a bug and crashes when I try to enter that menu. Your LOS 15.1, Bullhead rom is the only one that worked with my 5X Bullhead. Now I'm good until I decide what I will do about my next phone. You saved my bacon razorloves! Thanks again for maintaining security backports!

    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock android for your device.

    All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. If you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Wiki.




    Important Info
    To flash this rom you need TWRP 3.2.0-0 or newer. https://twrp.me/lg/lgnexus5x.html

    Make sure you have the radio & bootloader img's installed from the stock oreo 8.1 OPM7.181205.001 Dec 2018 factory image.
    They can be extracted from the factory image on google's site here. Or you can use the ones linked below that I already extracted:
    radio & bootloader img's: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=286834
    Those img's can be flashed with fastboot command.

    Download Links
    rom: https://download.lineageos.org/bullhead
    Note: LineageOS servers no longer make 15.1 builds for any devices. You can use my unofficial builds here. My older builds are here.
    Note#2: if you want to switch from an official build to my unofficial builds, follow instructions here.
    google apps (optional): https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.html (Use arm64 / 8.1)
    root su addon (optional): https://download.lineageos.org/extras Note: Use arm64 15.1 zip. After installing the su addon, you can enable root in developer options.

    Instructions
    If updating from old unofficial to newer unofficial, follow the steps below:
    1. if you don't already have them installed, flash the newest radio and bootloader img's linked above.
    2. boot into twrp and flash the rom zip.
    Reboot & enjoy.
    NOTE: if you previously flashed gapps and/or the su addon, there's no need to flash them again. They will be automatically re-installed during rom zip installation.
    NOTE2: if you want to switch from an official build to my unofficial builds, follow instructions here.

    If coming from a different rom:
    1. if you don't already have them installed, flash the newest radio & bootloader img's linked above. also make sure you have the newest twrp, linked above.
    2. boot into twrp and wipe system & data & cache.
    3. flash rom & gapps & su addon zips (gapps & su zips are optional).
    Reboot & enjoy.



    Weather Provider Addon (Optional)
    For those that like the lineage cLock widget, here's the OpenWeather apk you need to get weather info.
    https://download.lineageos.org/extras
    Grab the one for version 16.0. It also works with 15.1.
    Note: You'll need an api key from OpenWeather.

    New build is ready. WOOHOO. :D

    lineage-15.1-20180127-UNOFFICIAL-bullhead.zip


    if updating from my previous 15.1 build:
    just reboot into twrp recovery, flash the rom zip, then reboot.


    Major changes since last build:
    1. led brightness settings for 'do not disturb' mode
    2. adjustable led brightness
    3. lockscreen pattern grid size adjustable
    4. volume control fixed (was switching to media, instead of ring)
    5. privacy guard added
    6. su is now built in. you can enable it in dev options. so you no longer need magisk.
    7. dark theme fixed (see NOTE below)(only applies to settings & notification drawer)
    8. corrected rogers apn
    9. improved advanced reboot menu UI
    10. improved network traffic monitor settings
    11. fixed lineage weather service and providers, and I compiled new weather provider apks.


    NOTE: Annoyingly, google includes a dark theme apk on the /vendor partition that trumps the lineage dark theme apk that's on /system. So, until i figure out a workaround, you just have to delete the google theme apk that's on the vendor partition, for the lineage theme apk to work.
    just go to this folder "/vendor/overlay/SysuiDarkTheme" and delete the apk that's in it, then reboot. that should do the trick.

    For those that like using the cLock weather widget, here are the weather provider apk's:
    https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=243785
    I haven't fixed and compiled the OpenWeatherMap one yet. If you want that one let me know.

    New rom I just built. The opm3.171019.013 January changes and security patches are included.
    This is untested, so backup first.
    lineage-15.1-20180109-UNOFFICIAL-bullhead.zip

    Here's the vendor, radio, and bootloader img from the new opm3.171019.013 factory image:
    https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=239918
    Note: The radio img is the same as what was in last month's update from google, so if you already have it, no need to flash it.

    If updating from my previous 15.1 rom, do the following:
    1. flash the new vendor and bootloader img's.
    2. flash the rom.
    reboot

    Note: advanced reboot now works, but the power menu button settings are still a little wonky, so bare with it. :good:

    The new nightly coming out in a few hours will have the changes from the OPM6.171019.030.E1 July 2018 security update from google. (details here and here)

    Here are the vendor, radio, & bootloader img's from that security update (extracted from the factory image):
    https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=278598
    NOTE: The bootloader & radio img is the same as in last month's factory image, so if you already have them installed, you don't need to reflash them.
    So you just need to flash the new vendor img when you flash the new nightly. :good:

    ok, here we go. :D
    new build with March 2020 security patches from google.

    lineage-15.1-20200310-UNOFFICIAL-bullhead.zip

    Important notes: Normally when you switch from an official to unofficial rom, you have to wipe data because they're signed with different keys.
    But you can just flash this migration zip right before you flash my unofficial rom to avoid wiping. Then you're good to go.
    Should make a backup in twrp, just in case.
    So just boot into twrp, make a backup, flash migration zip, flash rom zip, done. :good:
