LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project and CyanogenMod with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS please visit Gerrit Code Review.

Warning!!!

• BackUp EFS partition before installing. .If you lose IMEI , use this backup to retrieve it in future.

Installation

• Boot the newest TWRP .img
• Flash copy-partitions-AB.zip from second post. (This will prevent device from getting bricked if you are coming from stock rom for the first time. It takes a backup of active slot to inactive slot)
• In TWRP, click "Wipe", "Format Data", then type "yes" as prompted.
• ADB sideload the newest build
• Reboot to fastboot and do fastboot -w via terminal
• Boot into "Recovery", this will boot you to either Lineage Recovery or TWRP depending on your choice to install TWRP or not. It is necessary to reboot between ROM flash and GApps/Addon flash due to verity/slot-swap logic.
• (Optionally) Flash GApps - Only MindTheGApps arm64 are compatible, OpenGApps are not compatible with A/B yet: MindTheGApps.
• (Optionally) Flash SU - you'll need to turn it on from in developer settings after first boot Lineage OS SU Addon. - Magisk works fine, though is not supported.
• Reboot

Downloads

Warning
If you are coming from stock ROM and it's your first time flashing lineage, flash copy-partition zip (See second post) unless your device will brick and I'm not responsible

- TWRP : Get here

Bugs

• You tell me

Reporting bugs

• DO NOT report bugs if you're running a custom kernel
• DO NOT report bugs if you've modifies system files
• DO NOT report bugs if you've installed xposed and/or other mods
• Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
  

  adb logcat > logcat.txt

  adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

• If it is a random reboot, grab kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
  

  adb shell cat /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops

• If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues or bugs reported in the lastest 5 pages of this thread. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

Phone Informations
* LineageOS version
* Gapps version
What you did:
* Wipe data: y/n
* Upgrade from previous official cm build: y/n
* Restore with titanium backup: y/n
You're using (if yes write which one) :
* Task killer
* Phone cleaner / Battery enhancer apps
* Non-stock kernel
* Modified kernel settings
* Other mods
Bug info:
* Last version it worked on
* Repro steps

F.A.Q.

• ROOT! ROOT! Give me root or i'll die!!! Where root is???
  First of all DO NOT flash any SuperSu/SuperUser/SuperMan zip package to get root. Go to Settings>Developement Settings>Root access and select "Apps Only"
• Why no nightly today?
  Build failed. Check again tomorrow
• When do I have to wipe data?
  You must wipe data only when you're switching from another rom or migrating to Snapshot branch from Nightly and vice versa. You don't need to wipe data when you update in the same release channe (this applies to 13.0 -> 14.1 upgrades too)
• Will you add <insert awesome feature here>?
  I won't. If you write it, submit a commit to gerrit, where it will be reviewed.

The LineageOS team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!

Copy Partition- Initial Setup

Flash the attachement via TWRP

 

[Mara-X]

Fantastic, can't wait to try this! :good: The copy-partition zip seems to be missing though? :crying:

 

[Daniel47833]

Awesome! Thank you, can't wait to try it out.

Is the copy partitions zip the same as the one on the Lineage OS 15.1 thread?

Yes.

"Pixel setup keeps stopping" after flashing Mindthegapps. Which version exactly, am I supposed to use?

When that app stop working select app info, force stop and clear app data.

And try again it'll work


And when you want to restore your stuff it'll show another error: "data transfer stop working" (I don't remember exact name) do the same force stop and clear data but this time allow all the permissions (storage, calls, etc)

Hmm. Clear data is greyed out, can only clear cache and that doesn't help.

Try with opengapps nano package

? The data transfer tool and Pixel set up both require notification access. Should solve the issue. ??

Hello, how can I give notification access to the pixel set up? I can't find the option

​

Hello, how can I give notification access to the pixel set up? I can't find the option

Goto Apps & notifications, scroll down to Special app access, There's the noticfication access around the middle of the list.
Always has worked for me in this senario. Good luck.

Nice work! Congratulations @rahulsnair + everybody on the team. Wow, did You receive the device on Monday this week?

So, I flashed and I'm writing the journey here and keep editing as I go:

- Is Emergency calling working, can you connect? You can test by calling there and saying that you wanted to test.
- Moto actions - Working!
- Is the camera quality the same-ish? I'd say yes.
- Can I install Moto Camera 2 (Stock)? Yes.
- Tethering (yes) / Hotspot (working) / Bluetooth calling (working) / Casting (working) / NFC (working).

- Since "Copy A -> B Partitions zip" makes a copy of the current ROM to another slot (correct?), how to restore from there? I know how to restore from twrp backup.

[STROKE] EDIT: At the moment I'm getting "Pixel Setup keeps stopping" Cleared cache. Did not help. I have no navbar. For some reason Gapps didn't flash correctly I think. Trying again from there.[/STROKE]

EDIT2: You have the wrong link in OP. It points to 8.x MindTheGapps
Here's the 9.x version:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=file...0cea2c259bd6b42b84ebd97a7d581187be08d20207d94

The same error manifests in 9.0 MindTheGapps. I got a little further though. But it's possible to plough through. Just reboot if you get stuck like I did and you will get there.

* Still no navbar during setup. (This might possibly be remedied by enabling on-screen navbar before flashing gapps, maybe: "settings -> system -> buttons).
* When connecting to wifi at setup, it will connect, but nothing happens, no "next" button"
* Not able to skip restoring backup from Google account.
* Data Migration Tool shows that its pixel version. Give permissions by clicking "App Info", "Permissions", check all.
* I have a strong feeling I have flashed MindTheGapps for Pixel :silly::highfive::laugh:

Wohoo! Made it through the setup, and I have a NavBar! And a working ROM! Super! (Some time later) - It's an awesome smooth driver. Absolutely beautiful.

* TWRP is suddenly showing garbled folders in sdcard. There was a post about that... Lemme see -- Ok so the problem is force_encryption. For that I'd need help, how to change that?

* Computer does not see external sd anymore
* Integrated E-mail app couldn't log to Gmail
* Music player didn't see external SD - fixed by magisk module "ExSdcard Access Enabler".
* Audio Fx didn't change anything - there's a fix to try clearing the data and cache and see if it starts working - I installed Viper4Android FX through Magisk Manager, works.

I'm not going to test emergency services.
Moto actions do work-and this is why you don't see a navbar on setup. Fingerprint gestures, swipe right to left to go back,tap for home, left to right for recent, long press for assistant.

Copy partions- this should let you dual boot roms. So los15.1 on slot a and slot b can have Los16. The twrp reboot screen can allow you to choose your boot slot.

Gapps-you can use any gapps really just be sure to flash them if you flash a rom update. I like opengapps arm64 nano builds myself. Then install Google apps from play store.

Twrp- we have to wait for devs to deal with this. It will be fixed in time if it's not fixed with the new official twrp(I haven't tested it yet). It only applies to internal storage. SD card won't be scrambled.

SD card-the mount point is wrong. I think it was /run/media/sdcard or something similar. Some apps can find the path and some can't.

Great, thanks for clarifying
My post above is written as I go through the setup, therefore a mess.
External SD resides at /mnt/media_rw/(sd_card_name).
Easiest way to fix (most apps) to recognize it is to load ExSdCard Access Enabler module in Magisk Manager.

 

[Xplorer4x4]

Just to clear up something the reason mavnar isn't shown is you need to use fingerprint gestures. Swipe left to right for recent, tap for home, swipe left to right to go back. Then you can activate navbar in settings after set up.

This method unfortunately doesn't work in Lightroom. "Use SD Card" in "Device Info & Storage" is still grayed out.

yes, it seems so. I asked this question in Adobe Support, but didn't get a satisfactory answer.

 

[DocFallingApart]

Is anyone else having a problem enabling the microphone in Gboard? It's not a big issue as I'm able to switch to Google Voice typing on the fly. I was just wondering if it's something I did, or if it is something with this ROM.

For reference I installed Nano Gapps, and Gboard from the store.

Have you enabled microphone permissions from settings - apps?
