LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9, 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 LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

No update for quite a while. Is it still maintained? Any chance to get BT-Calls running?

 

[Farmer90]

Nice to see this ROM developed, thanks for all the hard work!

Bluetooth calls would be really nice!

Any way I or others can help with that?

 

[joaofl]

First of all, thanks for the developers for the hard work!
Anybody using the latest version that can tell how that is going?
The link for the Disable_forcedencryption patch is also broken. Anybody have the working copy?
Thank you!

Just gave it a go myself. Really happy with it so far, along with the latest NikGapps. Nothing to complain so far. The other way around, it seems to work better than the GSI lineage I was running before. Battery seems to last longer as well. Let's see how it goes in the longer run!

 

[Charlie Cooper]

Where's the latest build link?

 

[Lenny Bard]

Where's the latest build link?

Go here , click on "assets" and search for a build with "a40" in it's name

 

[Charlie Cooper]

thanks but doesn't seem to work on my A40. Just throws 'error 4' from TWRP (or a number close to that from memory) and doesn't progress with any install.

 

[Lenny Bard]

Maybe Error 7 ? You're sure you took the right one ? This one work on my A40.

Doh! I didn't read your earlier post right and assumed they were all for the a40! Thanks haha!
