About LineageOS:

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8 (oreo), 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 Suicide Squirrel and LineageOS Github repos.
If you would like to contribute to do not hesitate to submit patches


**** These builds are for UsU'd devices only ****
UsU? http://bit.do/unlockg4​

Requirements

• Your device need to be unlocked by UsU
• Your bootloader stack should be on latest MM with ARB-2 (see FAQ #20 for how to upgrade your bootloader stack)
• Latest TWRP - PREVIEW build: click
• Clean modem partition (so no UsU baseband flashed) - see Installation topic for details

Installation

1. If you have ever flashed the UsU baseband package: Clean flash the modem partition from your backup in TWRP.
   If you have no backup: TWRP flashable MM modems (N will not work)
2. Full wipe like described here (click & go to FAQ "#zzz") is highly recommended. DO NOT REPORT ISSUES when you have skipped that step!
3. Flash LOS
4. Flash GApps (8.1 - ARM64) if you like to use google apps
5. Flash SuperSU / Magisk if you want root
6. Boot (will take long on first boot!)
7. Enjoy

So for this rom I am supposed to use the MM modem, not the N modem as stated in the Unlock thread?

Its clearly stated in this OP.

I Installed it yesterday, so far almost everything works out of the box, I've tested:
-4G LTE
-Roaming
-Phone Calls
-Wi-fi
-Bluetooth
-GPS
-Both cameras

The only thing that doesn't work is the flashlight button in the quick settings, although it works in the camera app.
I was unable to test NFC and wireless charging since I no longer have the original back cover.

As a side note, it fails Google's Safety Net even after completely removing root support from LOS, so banking apps are gonna be an issue.

As long as this ROM is in permissive mode you will never pass safety net for sure. This is listed in the known issues in the OP. Torch is a known issue as well and have been added to the same link of the OP. As far as I know NFC will not work in any custom ROM at least it doesn't even in aoscp

Ok i will try it tonight! I understand that it's not easy to build something from the ground up! I appreciate that someone is willing to develop firmware for a 3 year old phone that's lock down!

Installed on my VS986 running MM 27c with 2BA bootstack (as in FAQ #20; verified FAQ #26)

No Gapps yet, but did flash SuperSU.

Booted quickly, no bootloops.

Tested camera, browser on Wi-Fi… looks good so far!

But, as usual there is no cell service- the phone isn’t seeing the SIM card.

This is the first LOS Oreo that would boot for me, so thank you!

wow great! didnt expect that it even boots.. yea cool the blobs I use are taken from 2BA!
for the SIM:

• dialer: type *#06# (do you see your imei?)
• settings: phone info -> do you see your imei? do you see your mobile phone number?

 

[ANDROID2468]

• dialer: type *#06# (do you see your imei?)
• settings: phone info -> do you see your imei? do you see your mobile phone number?

*#06# I get MEID, which is a different number from the IMEI
Settings> System> About phone> Status> SIM status: both IMEI and phone number show correctly

thats... weird.. is the IMEI correct when going to the imei boot screen? --> poweroff phone, disconnect USB, press vol+up and vol+down the same time

IMEI boot screen shows correct IMEI with barcode.
Serial number is blank with a short barcode.
