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.

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. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

INSTRUCTIONS :

******* FULL WIPE IS REQUIRED, if you are coming from stock or Lineage 14.1 *****

******* You have to use adb commands in recovery (ex. adb push / adb shell twrp install) ******

Download the latest build and gapps

Boot to twrp ("fastboot boot recovery.img" - you can't flash twrp yet, image is to big for the partition)

Flash the latest build

To flash opengapps you need to put this txt file ( https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117891960 ) in the same directory (or you will get an error related to partition size)

this discard some apps from installation, but you can always install later from play store....

Reboot

* You need to unlock your bootloader before flash twrp

** In Lineage Setup Wizard you can pair you Razer Serval or any other remote/gamepad device putting in discovery mode (autopair) or you can use an HDMI-CEC enabled TV.

BUGS:

- Secure L1 playback is broken (No Netflix, etc...)

- Remote App Voice search is broken

- Some times the screen goes off and won't wake up with CEC, you can turn on the screen with your BT device or the ATV app.

- You tell me

Why should people prefer this than default - you tell me. Its good to see development. This would matter a lot for those cheap Chinese boxes.
