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.

The source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

Known bugs:
Screen mirroring via slimport HDMI adapter doesn't work.
PMF aka 802.11w doesn't supported. Read here about it.
Encryption has problems. Read here about it.

GAPPS Installation

LineageOS Team have recommendations about GAPPS
Here are the most important two copied from LineageOS WiKi:

• If you opt to use Open GApps, they offer a variety of sizes of packages that include and overwrite different apps. We only recommend package sizes up through nano. If you use a larger package, we can not guarantee that everything will function on your device, as in many of these cases our included apps are overwritten in favor of the Google App equivalents.
• Google apps should be installed via recovery immediately after installing LineageOS. If you reboot into LineageOS before installing Google apps, you must factory reset and then install them, otherwise expect crashes.

Please, give actual link to 11 gapps

Please, give actual link to 11 gapps

An user by the name BrainWash has found unofficial builds of arm Gapps packages for Android 11, that user has shared a link in the Nexus 5 Telegram group.
They might work or not, give them a try on your own risk.

Those issues you mention don't seem to be related to this ROM. I just flashed this ROM on my N5 and my TWRP did not get overwritten nor did my partition sizes get reverted to the stock sizes. I don't know what has gone wrong on your side.

 

[zheega]

Woah, amazing. Thanks! Everything seems to be working so far, only Magisk fails to install.

 

[Mr.FREE_Bird]

Woah, amazing. Thanks! Everything seems to be working so far, only Magisk fails to install.

Magisk v21.2 installs and works without any issues. Makes sure you flash an up to date version of Magisk, redownload it if doesn't install.

 

[zheega]

Yes, thank you. I was using a bit older build that didn't work.

while setting up when booted in, it ask if u want to update lineage recovery along with the os. I think that may overwrite twrp

Maybe but judging from what he said I think he says that his TWRP got overwritten and his partitions got reverted to the stock sizes right after flashing the ROM. So it looks like he did something wrong or doesn't read what the setup asks him...

 

[jvifdz]

Wow amazing a lot of thanks for this rom

 

[zheega]

Latest build ( lineage-18.1-20210109 ) seems to be stuck in a forever-boot-loop.

 

[jvifdz]

Here booting well

 

[moddux]

Having no boot problems with 20210109 comming from 17.1-20201231

 

[zheega]

It doesn't work with fresh install (just a constant boot loop), but updating from 20210108 to 20210109 works.

It doesn't work with fresh install (just a constant boot loop), but updating from 20210108 to 20210109 works.

My tester said that everything works fine after clean installation as well as after update. But there is a problem with latest test package of opengapps. Device can't boot. So if u used opengapps then this is your problem.

Anyway before posting such reports try to perform a clean flash of the ROM without additional packages (gapps/magisk/mods)

 

[marzapane]

I haven't used my Nexus 5 in a few years and now I would like to update it to android 10, in particular your LineageOS 17.1.
But being many years since the last update I was wondering if my recovery, kernel and radio were compatible with android 10. Would you be able to suggest which recovery, which magisk version, which kernel and radio to install? Maybe kernel and radio now come bundled with the OS (?)
Lastly, there is any peculiar step for a clean installation procedure?

I tried to search on the thread beforehand, but couldn't find the answers. Sorry if you already answered my questions.

Thanks a lot for the your time and effort!
