Introduction
These builds only support the Lenovo YTX703F and YTX703L targets.
Installation instructions
Unlock your bootloader and install TWRP. Some further indications on how to do this can be found here.
If coming from another ROM, do a full wipe / factory reset.
Install your downloaded zip file containing this ROM.
If you never had stock Nougat installed, also install the downloaded firmware zip. This only needs to be done once.
Optionally install Open GApps (tested with ARM64, 7.1, nano variant).
Known Issues
Speaker auto-rotation is off by 90 degrees, and has currently been disabled.
The Facebook Messenger app (com.facebook.orca) reads data from the camera sensors rotated by 90 degrees. To the best of my knowledge, this is an application bug, since it doesn't observe our camera HAL settings. Other camera applications work fine. Please use Facebook Messenger Lite if you need camera.

Screen orientation is off?
If you notice that after flashing one of the following builds: (lineage-14.1-20180429-UNOFFICIAL, lineage-14.1-20180511-UNOFFICIAL or lineage-14.1-20180514-UNOFFICIAL) your screen orientation is always off by 90 degrees,
THIS IS NOT A BUG:
TL;DR: Flash this TWRP zip for removing cached sensors orientation: ssc-sensors-remove-cached-config.zip
Read below for further explanations.
The orientation sensors have a cached configuration that needs to be deleted for the new one to get applied.
In the 20180429 build, we changed the orientation sensors configuration compared to everything else (stock, older LineageOS builds) so that the tablet becomes a true landscape device.
At the time, the best way we had to deal with this was to remove the old (cached) orientation sensor configuration with the TWRP zip linked above.
As of lineage-14.1-20180526-UNOFFICIAL, this zip is no longer needed.
Release Notes / Changelog
July 9, 2018
Added back SELinux rules for the Dolby Atmos addon, which is now supported again
Updated blobs from S000973_180524_ROW release (please also flash the matching firmware zip)
Fixed a potential issue with the WCNSS_wlan_dictionary.dat file not being found
Reinstated the "regular" and "extended" set of builds
May 27, 2018
PLEASE WIPE THE SYSTEM PARTITION BEFORE FLASHING THIS BUILD. I don't care about what you do in /data (no need to factory reset).
Updated WLAN driver to latest release tag (LA.BR.1.3.7-04410-8976.0)
Removed the need for flashing ssc-sensors-remove-cached-config.zip. If you ever flashed one of the affected builds (lineage-14.1-20180429-UNOFFICIAL, lineage-14.1-20180511-UNOFFICIAL or lineage-14.1-20180514-UNOFFICIAL), please flash ssc-sensors-remove-cached-config.zip NOW one more time and then forget about its existence.
Corrected the WLAN firmware being loaded from a partition (/persist) outside the control of what is distributed in Lineage, leading to Wi-Fi connectivity issues being reported by some but not all users.
Fixed the camera focus bug introduced in the May 14th build (imported incorrect blob from stock)
Extended the configurability of the number of volume steps to in-call audio as well.
Restoring the RTC clock on boot: removed the proprietary Qualcomm solution (TimeService), kept the open-source Sony solution (TimeKeep). Also tightened the SELinux rules for it.
Removed all SELinux permissions that were granted gratuitously. This could possibly result in more access denials to applications, but normally to no functional impact.
May 14, 2018
Attempt to fixed the WLAN MAC address not being correctly read from the QMI services and applied to the interface (instead a randomly-generated 00:0a:f5:**:**:** MAC was applied). Due to a bug in SELinux bug, this didn't work.
Calibrated the DT2W coordinates better (centered the sensitive area)
Made volume streams for media, ringtones and alarms finely adjustable using same number of steps
Init scripts cleanup (Qualcomm code not specific to msm8976 was removed, all service definitions went to /system/etc/init)
Activated the gesture of opening the camera by double pressing the power button
Backported the camera sensor mount angle fixup/hardcoding for the legacy HAL1 as well
May 11, 2018
Removed some SELinux policies of dubious quality.
Removed some Lenovo kernel driver hacks and instead fixed their DTS bindings (thanks @BlackAfghan!)
Replaced the touchscreen driver (Synaptics DSX 2.6 that has been causing wakeup problems in the 20180429 build) with yet another touchscreen driver that is seeing its debut in a LineageOS build: the Synaptics DSX 2.1 driver coming directly from Qualcomm.
Fixed the volume button re-orient functionality again (this time it is never to ever get broken again, as the fix was integrated in LineageOS)
Added back GPS functionality (by ensuring that the GPS HAL does indeed get compiled and added to the system image )
April 29, 2018
Rework the way Android treats the orientation of the tablet's display. Hardware-wise, it is a portrait screen in a landscape body. The goal of the rework is to convince Android that the tablet is really a landscape device, without hacks at the framework level (so it can be accepted by upstream LineageOS). The SurfaceFlinger, Synaptics touchscreen, Camera HAL and orientation sensors all took a fair amount of convincing to that end.
Update Synaptics touchscreen driver to v2.6
Disable creation of a dedicated interface for the p2p group (Qualcomm bug that otherwise results in Wi-Fi Direct failures).
Power HAL: some fixes to the perfd Qualcomm daemon (still need to find proper power profiles for msm8976).
Enable ZRAM
Lots of cleanup
February 24, 2018:
Fixed a bug where the background light of the screen stayed on when receiving a notification while charging the device.
When using DT2W (double tap to wake), the device now shortly vibrate on double tap.
DT2W now doesn't react to touches on the outer 10% of the display area. This is to avoid accidentally wake up the device when grabbing it.
When the option to swap the volume buttons is enabled, the buttons are now correctly orientated when rotating the device.
Exposed settings to configure the battery lights (charging light / pulse on low battery). You can find these settings at "Notifications -> gear-wheel icon -> Battery light").
The volume buttons now control the notification volume by default, instead of the call volume (which didn't make sense, because both the Wifi- and LTE-device don't support phone calls).
Increased the volume steps to control the media volume. This means that the media volume can be controlled more precisely now.
Removed non-working FM radio app.
January 25, 2018:
Incorporated all blobs from the current official nougat ROM.
Numerous behind-the-scene updates/changes and kernel-patches to make the new blobs work.
The correct wifi firmware specific to your device is now used. Because of that, your MAC address will change (to the correct one of your device) when updating from a previous release. (If you don't know what a MAC address is, this doesn't matter to you.)
The "Extended LineageOS" ROM variant is now "end of life". This will be the last release of this variant.
The overclocking feature has been removed from the "Extended LineageOS" ROM variant.
Please ignore the included FM-Radio app. It doesn't work and maybe never will. I am working on it
December 15, 2017:
Double-tap to wake (DT2W) included; disabled by default.
Removed some errors/warnings in logcat.
Updated to latest LineageOS 14.1 sources.
October 15, 2017:
Fixed audio hissing while no sound is playing. Should also increase battery life.
Updated to latest LineageOS 14.1 sources.
September 18, 2017:
Updated to latest LineageOS 14.1 sources.
July 25, 2017:
Added newest security patches to the kernel (special thanks @BlackAfghan)
Reduced brightness of lowest possible dimming of the display, for being easier on the eyes in the dark.
Updated to latest LineageOS sources.
June 13, 2017:
Cameras should work perfectly now.
May 31, 2017:
Fixed using wrong thermal engine (critical bugfix).
Fixed default rotation to landscape.
Fixed encryption.
Fixed Dolby Atmos (use our optional addon package).
Fixed resetting clock on boot.
Added ROM variant with compatibility to MicroG and Substratum theme engine.
Updated major parts of the kernel from upstream, including newest security updates.
Updated to latest LineageOS sources.
April 16, 2017:
Stabilized camera.
Updated to latest LineageOS sources (now based on Android 7.1.2).
March 31, 2017:
The cameras are working now! But the camera app often crashes when switching between front and back camera. If this happens, just reopen the camera app and wait a few seconds.
March 19, 2017:
Fixed secure lockscreen (pattern, PIN).
Added support for USB ethernet adapters.
February 23, 2017:
Fixed bluetooth mac address.
Enable and force lockscreen rotation by default.

I would love to support the LTE version, but it is very hard to do without being able to test. You can probably flash this WiFi version, but you will surely lose all mobile data functionality.
Could somebody with a locked bootloader please install this small app (DRM Info) and check if the "Security Level" of Widevine is "L1" or "L3"?
Security Level is L1

Thanks, this is helpful!
The bad news is: If you like to watch Netflix (and other streaming services) in HD, then you should never unlock your bootloader! It seems that unlocking the bootloader wipes the DRM keys from a device forever. This changes the Widevine Security Level to L3, preventing HD playback in Netflix forever, so beware!
it the same with sony xperia. Here a link in german how this problem could be fixed. perhaps a similar solution can be found for lenovo

I know, but unfortunately this is a very sony-specific workaround (not even really a fix) that cannot be applied here.
I'm jumping on this, trying it out on the L-version Report incoming later!
EDIT1: Naturally, the updater_script file needs to be updated. Replace all instances of x703f with x703l, and you should be golden.
EDIT2: And we're live from LOS! Seems snappy as ever Great work!
EDIT3: LED is continuously on, with no apparent way to turn it off. Also, lock screen is also in portrait, shifting to normal after unlock. Oh, and battery life seems to be phenomenal. 2hr SoT after fresh install, roughly 13% used.
Hi, it looks like this is the only custom ROM for Tab3 plus 10.1" so please make an assess whether one could rely on this ROM, install it as the regular one and use it on the everyday basis?
If you would advice so then please tell me what are the advantages over stock soft?
Well, I am using it on an everyday basis and I vastly prefer it over the stock firmware. But I may be biased
If you don't need the cameras, I think you should give it a shot. The performance and battery life are very good, sound and video acceleration work fine and split screen (thanks to nougat) is a welcome addition.
Of course I would love to hear feedback from users.

You most certainly can.
Less bloat, less "lenovo". But, probably no fast charging, and no camera (As of now). (source: 3hrs of testing)
However what's about cameras, won't anybody fix them?

I'm confident @DerEineDa and @matshias is already working on it! Fast charging and full sim-card support would also be appreciated It's all up to the devs+testers :good:
Well, how long does it take to charge full battery under control of this LineageOS?
You mention SIM card support, but this ROM is intended for the Wi-Fi version of the device (personally I own it too),
however the fast charge feature is very important for everyone, indeed!

Background:
Due to lack of official maintainer for i9300 device for CyanogenMod. I, together with @Moster2 decided that we will work unofficially on i9300 device tree for CM12, to bring Lollipop goodness to our beloved Galaxy S3.
All builds provided in this thread are UNOFFICIAL, which means that:
- There is no official support for i9300
- There are no OTAs available
- There are no automated "nightglies"
At some point, we definitely will try to make proper pull requests, and maybe even support CM12 officially, but at the moment this project is in WIP - Work-In-Progress state, and many things are still broken/unusable. Until we finish, all builds are unofficial, and proper device support is not finished yet.
At the moment, this project is considered: BETA. All core functions should work, ROM shouldn't have any critical issues, but it's still not ready to mark as stable. However, it should work properly as daily driver.
Please refrain from talking about other kernels than stock. We can't track every kernel and it's problems, hence, you're using other kernels at your own risk. Please don't report bugs while you're using custom kernels.

Build instructions:
Follow CM build instructions for i9300. When doing repo init, don't forget to declare CM-12.1 branch (-b cm-12.1) instead of the default one.
Before "breakfast i9300", you must include our manifest and resync the sources:
Code:
croot
cd .repo
mkdir -p local_manifests
cd local_manifests
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ArchiDroid/manifest/cm-12.1/roomservice.xml
croot
repo sync
Notice: Our manifest already includes proprietary_vendor_samsung, so don't execute ./extract-files.sh. Just repo sync.
Then follow "breakfast i9300" and the rest of the commands in original instructions, while keeping in mind above notice.

If you want to thank me, Moster2, arter, Dhiru, or anybody else for what you received, consider donating, even small amount such as 1$ shows that you appreciate our time and knowledge put into those things. You're using devices worth 500x more than that, giving that money to companies like Samsung who don't care about you and your S3 anymore, consider supporting things you use and like.
That's it folks, hope you enjoyed our CM. As there is nobody from "my" team working on i9300 anymore, eventual hope for M for i9300 should go directly to Dhiru, perhaps also Haxynox guys, if they know what they're doing. I'll probably use my i9300 for a while longer, then finally change it to something else in future. You can still follow me on twitter for updates.
Good luck in this new project
I will, indeed
Here we go again,back to my favorite alpha stage,brings many good memory hh
Btw using arter97 builds for few hours and no problem, as been said last few days smoothness of the 5.1 can clearly be seen between 5.0.2 vs 5.1 lags is pretty much gone and ram management is way better on 5.1

For me yes, listen music starts OK, than audio comes and goes until crash and reboot
After using for a few days this is my simplified report.
1. package installer FCs when installing or updating from third party (app gets installed)
2. Music volume very low and music app gets killed a few minutes after screen off
3. Settings FCs when changing status bar toggles
4. Very smooth. Alot better than 5.0 (Memory leaks fixes by Google kicks in?)
5. App info graphical error (Package name overlaps with version)
Devs @JustArchi @Moster2 @arter97 @dhiru1602 all of you are unstoppable.

If you don't do this you'll not be able to use roaming in LineageOS. (This also applies to other custom roms.)
The LineageOS roaming switch can be used normally afterwards.
Backup your internal storage to an external SD card or a computer. Internal storage should not be wiped but better save than sorry.
Download the LineageOS 15 zip file provided in the downloads section to your phone (or use "adb sideload" with a computer).
Flash the TWRP recovery I provided here.
Reboot to TWRP. Backup everything. I recommend storing the backup on a computer or the external SD Card.
Again in TWRP: Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik/Art Cache and System.
Finally you can install the LineageOS zip file and optionally Gapps. Reboot when finished.
(Always flash LineageOS and Gapps without rebooting in between!)
First boot will take a littler longer - If everything went as expected: Welcome to LineageOS 15.1!
For AsusCamera read the post below about extensions.
Download:
LineageOS 15.1 for the ZE520KL and ZE552KL: https://drive.google.com/open?id=15v4n4NCTnPtwO2xN_UnyKFuDKSVgloVc
How to return to build 2018-06-11 or earlier:
The following information only applies if you want to dirty-flash older builds. Factory-resetting the phone would make key migration obsolete.
If you want to return to build 2018-06-11 or earlier and are running 2018-08-11 or later, you have to migrate your data partition back to the test-keys.
Simply flash the "planet9_keys-to-test_keys.zip" from the "Key Migration" folder on my drive share to do so.
Future updates:
I'll keep maintaining this rom until Android P roms are stable enough for daily use.

Extensions
Here you'll find information about additional packages.
Advanced Kernel:
An advanced kernel packed with additional features!
Finally available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...ernel-advanced-kernel-lineageos-15-1-t3760007
Asus Camera:
Asus Camera apk download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_4ID3AiPLEGQkxm4WgjWVpFswImiv284
Important:
The new, standalone apk file has all the libraries included so it can be installed like any other user app over the package manager: No flashing through twrp is needed anymore and the app will stay installed even after updating the system.
Before installing the new apk make sure to fully uninstall the old asus camera zip by flashing a rom or the uninstaller zip!
Bugs:
Most of the features should finally work with the new apk.
Still not working:
- Save to MicroSD
- HDR Pro
Gapps:
Official Open GApps for android 8.1 are finally available: http://opengapps.org/

Haris from the Telegram channel sent the below message.
https://github.com/bhi768/msm8953/commit/2f35825dc36d3b23460298a0d8fca8a34d5f38e2 ask him to try this, so that he can confirm if asus's mdss changes already has live display capability
also https://github.com/Planet-X/android_device_asus_Z017/blob/lineage-15.1/manifest.xml#L226 ask him to try pass through method for sensors like in here https://github.com/harry8242/device_lenovo_A6020/blob/o8.0/manifest.xml#L155
My baseband version is m3.10.47.9 leo which should be .18 libra(on the ss).is it because i didnt install stock oreo 1st?
Good work !! ☺

Flashing stock rom also updates additonal firmware partitions and that's why your baseband is older.
In general this shouldn't be a problem. I just recommended flashing oreo so that everything is fully up to date.
Could this help somehow?

It could definitely point to the right direction. Thanks! :good:
Edit:
Directly using this file on lineage 15 is not a good idea!
Phone services won't work anymore and it will then reboot to recovery! Don't try it.
Great, GREAT ROM! Stable and smooth! Battery endures the whole day.
The update made it almost bug free! And the remaining bugs are cosmetic for the most part.
Can't thank you enough. Keep it up!

The updates are flashable via TWRP. No need to reinstall. It's called Dirty Flash.

Troubleshooting
- Some apps are crashing for a reason what's wrong?
- if you use Magisk root some apps are crashing for a reason, to solve this change Mount NameSpace Mode to Global and disable Magisk Hide and reboot (you cn re-enable it later if you want/need it),
I discovered this solution when I used older RR N 5.8.2 and the apps will not crash anymore, another way is to set ro.debuggable to 1 using MagiskHide Props Config module and reboot. But now the custom kernel is not causing this bug anymore, but in case you will meed it.
- SafetyNet fails what to do?
- If you fail Only CTSProfile, you can use this module
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228
This will help you to Pass CTSProfile using custom build fingerprint from other certified devices.
If you use xposed and want to pass CTSProfile, you can use an xposed module called "No Device Check", but as far I know its impossible to pass BasicIntegrity with xposed installed, but using this module is pretty enough to log in via snapchat and using some apps but not for Pokemon GO
Edit: SafetyNet was failing due of kernel, the kernel source from Micode (or from mine upstreamed) passes it.
-what's MicroG?
- MicroG is an lightweight and opensource re-implementation of Gapps
- how do I install it?
- same as Gapps + you will need to wipe cache/dalvik and grant for signature spoofing
- In self check I see that Phonesky/Play Store has not correct signature, why does it happen?
- you need to grant for signature spoofing manually you can do it by going to Settings->Apps->Gear(in top right corner)->App Permissions-> Spoof package signature/(or signature spoofing, depends on the rom) and giving permissions to spoof signature, you can do the same to GMSCore too in case you did still haven't granted for it before
- I have problems with sign in with my account, what to do?
- this happens mostly when you are Replacing Gapps with MicroG or reinstalling MicroG without sign out, if this happened just go and delete using root explorer this files:
/data/system_ce/0/accounts_ce.db
/data/system_de/0/accounts_de.db
/data/system/sync/accounts.xml and reboot, and now you should have sign in to your account successfully

How to save a file to external sdcard
Hi @Azizb750
First I read your post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77463249&postcount=1312
Coming from current RR Nougat ROM for hermes by Dinolek year ago, then I downloaded and clean installed RR-20180829 build and ended with bootloop
After you updated OP, I installed RR-20180828 build > opengapps (armv7, 7.1, pico) > reboot and system booted as it should be! :good:
So far so good, better than older ROM and it satisfied my requirement for daily driver.
Many thanks bro for keeping old Redmi Note 2 alive, even with Nougat. You;re the man. It will be perfect if Security Patch upgraded at least August 5, 2018.
Current security patch December 5, 2017 is too old!
Again, many thanks Azizb750.
Have a great day!
God bless you!
/***********
Now, current ROM is RR-5.8.5 20180828 build.
Launcher: Microsoft, Poco
Google Assistant, Google Photos, works just fine!
Rooted by Magisk 16.7 (1671). SafetyNet: invalid response.
Theme: Substratum, DNA Dark Project.

Thanks a lot, BTW, about patches is something that came from the Custom ROM and I can't anything for it
DotOs installed, works perfectly thank you very much! An Oreo version soon? Otherwise it's already exellent to have gone from Lolipop to Nougat ?

Security patch level February 5, 2018! Newer than RR! :good:
However, I preferred RR 5.8.5 good: D
Thanks Azizb750! Thanks devs!
Have a great day!
Just tried crDroid 20180825 build. I like it so much as it's highly customizable as RR. Apart from that, it applied Security patch level July 5, 2018. :good:
It's most likely I prefer to use it as my daily driver.
However, wait until I give a try the other two hermes ROMs, LineageOS and Viper.
Again, thanks a lot Azizb750 for providing N ROMs for our obsolete device!
Have a great day!
Gave a try LineageOS 14.1 for hermes 20180828 build. Everything works just fine, according to my requirements. Sure, you may vary.
Feeling secured as Security patch from August 5, 2018! :good:
Many thanks to @Azizb750 and other devs! ?
Hope, you keep the security patch updated!
Have a great day!
I did try to install ViperOS 20180825, everything works just fine as described on OP.
Security patch of July 5, 2018.
After tried all available N ROMs as provided by OP, I decided to choose crDroid as my daily driver, based on:
1.Highly and easily customizable
2. Not so old security patch (July 5, 2018). Hopefully, Azizb750 will keep updated!
Have a great day!

Workings and bugs as described on OP. However, Contacts can't sync, using both methods.
Reverted to crDroid
Anyway, thanks Azizb750 for keeping ROMs for hermes updated!
Have a great day!

Have a great day!
i clear all data and flash 03092018(ViperOS) rom, it's bootloop ,but 25082018(ViperOS) rom work,
flash 25082018(ViperOS) firstly, then donot clear data and flash 03092018(ViperOS) rom ,boot into system, but camera crash and adb over wifi still not work ,so 25082018(ViperOS) rom should be keep,until new rom stable
What's working:
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
Mobile Network (Calling, Data, etc.)
Audio (Stereo Speakers)
Camera
Fingerprint Sensor
S-Pen Basics
Call Recording
HWC
Signal Indicator
GPS
Sensors
HDMI
NFC
What's not working:
Iris sensor does not work because AOSP upstream does not support that yet.
IMS services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc). Samsung has their own proprietary implementation. It is not really possible to easily port that to LineageOS.
Bugs:
S-Pen/Mouse will cause small graphical glitches during button animations sometimes.
Signal Indicator
Instructions:
Make sure TWRP has been installed and functional
Reboot to recovery
Wipe data and cache (required if you switch from other ROMs)
Flash the latest build (then gapps and magisk if needed)
Reboot
THE VENDOR.IMG IS PROVIDED AS PART OF THE ROM. FLASHING ANOTHER VENDOR WILL CAUSE A BOOTLOOP.
How to update builds?
Do not wipe anything unless stated in the changelog
Flash only the rom.zip and it will automatically reinstall your gapps, magisk, vendor etc
use /system/addon.d if you would like to keep system mods after an update
Downloads:
Galaxy S9 (Exynos): https://mega.nz/#!3nIU2AyL!gHNXB_xod1Fii9lROvLnKfTQz_BR8hHddPX5jUeAi-4
Galaxy S9+ (Exynos): https://mega.nz/#!LmQgWSLK!Cttp_5IGELXiYFvbBG9wNOIYxPybBXyzuA8QxtHRaj0
Google Apps: https://opengapps.org/
If you get booting and or wifi issues with this new build, I would recommend a completely clean flash. It would appear some things have changed upstream in Lineage & Magisk that are causing issues.
Changelog:
09/01/2019
Fixed NFC (Requires factory reset if on earlier build)
WiFi should behave a bit more.
23/12/2019

Great to see LOS17 on the S9! GPS is a must for me, but as soon as that's fixed I'll definitely give this a spin.

Awesome progress!
Chrome crashes all the time, no fingerprint unlock, no smart unlock, ui experience isn't as smooth as it can be, also when you try to change the battery icon in the status bar from portrait to circle or text it doesn't work.

The chrome/netflix/spotify and fingerprint bugs will be fixed today.
The battery icon not changing is a LineageOS problem, they haven't finished porting all of their features.
New S9/S9+ build uploaded
Changelog:
19/12/2019
- DRM protected content will no longer crash the device
- Fingerprint scanner now works properly
Finally some activity. Thanks.
Keep up
You're awesome
Looks promising. As it is my daily driver, I'll give this rom a go over the christmas holidays.
Thanks for the effort.
Also there are no color profiles in live display, why is that?
Temp fix for MTP
To make MTP working go to system/system/build.prop and change
persist.sys.usb.config=adb,mtp
To
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp
and reboot

A BIG "THANK YOU" TO
the whole LineageOS team, and the multitude of great developers of the Android custom ROM scene, such as kdrag0n, kerneltoast (Sultanxda), arter97, nathanchance, neobuddy89, flar2, franciscofranco, frap129, the MSM-Xtended project, the crDroid project, the GrapheneOS team, the YAAP team, the DivestOS team and the xda user MuddyDog. I hope I have not forgotten anyone.
POST-INSTALLATION ADVICE
RECLAIM SOME PRIVACY AND BLOCK LOTS OF ADS
19.1 & 20: Open Settings > Neworks & Internet > Advanced > Private DNS and choose "AdGuard DNS"
18.1: Manually set "dns.adguard.com" as the Private DNS.
SETTING UP SANDBOXED GOOGLE PLAY
Open the "Apps" app, tap on the three dots in the top right corner, tap on Show all packages, then choose Google Play Store, and then tap on the install button. This will install Google Play Services, Play Store, and Services Framework as normal, sanboxed user apps, while allowing for an almost complete compatibility with Google Play APIs.
A few notifications will appear, shortly after, asking for some permissions. Just allow what they ask for.
INSTALLING MICROG VIA MINMICROG
Refined MinMicroG package prepared by me: click here
System mode (mandatory for those who don't want Magisk): you must remember to mount /system in Lineage Recovery before attempting to flash MinMicroG.
Systemless mode: just flash MinMicroG as though it was a Magisk module.
SETTING UP MICROG
If you have installed MinMicroG as a Magisk module, just open its Settings, and in the Self Check screen do what is required to enable all tickboxes.
In the Location Modules list, enable all the modules you're interested in using (usually all of them), but be careful that enabling some of them will make a pop up window appear, asking if you want to allow constant access to the location to a given provider. Do not click on the pop up window's main button (which denies access), instead, click on the underlined text, which will take you to a Settings screen in which you can allow the module unconstrained access to the device's location.
I also suggest disabling the "Apps" application, that is bundled in the system, as it will try (and fail) to replace MicroG with normal Google Play Services.
If you have installed MinMicroG in system mode, open an ADB shell and run the npem command, then reboot. It should grant all the necessary permissions.

PASSING SAFETYNET
You need to have MindTheGapps or microG installed in order to pass SafetyNet. If you choose microG, enable its SafetyNet toggle in its settings.
That's enough, you should pass SafetyNet out of the box.
The following steps are needed only if you decide to flash Magisk on your phone:
In Magisk's settings, enable Zygisk
Reboot
In Magisk's settings, tap on Configure DenyList
In the three-dot menu, tick Show system apps and Show OS apps
Scroll down and look for Google Play Services.
Tap on it (don't tap on its checkbox!), the list item will expand and show additional sub-items
Tap on the Play Services' main checkbox: all of its sub-items should automatically become enabled
Look for Google Services Framework and tap on its checkbox (there are no hidden sub-items here)
Return to Magisk's settings and enable Enforce DenyList
Reboot
You should now pass SafetyNet!
Wow, I have your ROM installed in my Oneplus One and works amazing, now I can install it in my daily driver phone.
Thank you so much for your awesome work.

Nice! See you around in both threads then
I just installed the ROM.
I did a clean flash through TWRP with Magisk and Gapps; January firmware and AOSP Vendor.
I only found the next bugs:
OTA always says that the update check failed, so I don't know if its working.
When I am on a call and I use the speaker, I can hear but they do not hear me. (This bug was present in my previous rom that was Carbon but I would like to know why it happens and if it is possible to fix it).
Everything else seems to work flawlessly.
Thanks again and I'll be on the lookout for updates.
If you need me to test, logs or something that can help in the development you can contact me without problem.

When I am on a call and I use the speaker, I can hear but they do not hear me. (This bug was present in my previous rom that was Carbon but I would like to know why it happens and if it is possible to fix it).
Everything else seems to work flawlessly.
Thanks again and I'll be on the lookout for updates.
If you need me to test, logs or something that can help in the development you can contact me without problem.

I've just fixed the OTA updater's issue. I had forgotten to push the json file that is used to check the presence of updates, thus the check failed. It's working now.
Issue number 2 is common to many phones and ROMs, on older phones it used to be a problem with some value in the mixer_paths.xml file. I'll look into it.
Just a quick note, you can obviously use an official Lineage recovery image to flash this ROM. Starting from the next build I'll provide my own recovery image for simplicity. I'm also working on restoring touch screen support in Lineage recovery, and I've started working on bringing back TWRP to the Essential PH-1 as well.

For issue number 2, it occurs in almost all roms, especially those based in LOS, except AOSPA Ruby Beta 1. Your device tree also uses 3 mics like LOS. So, the problem is the same.

Thanks for the information. I'll look into it but it's not my main priority right now. Give me a couple of weeks

I've seen it for a long time, including your posts there. Is the problem solved by removing the 3 mic entry?
Btw, i just made a new issue there. It happens in all LOS based roms, as well as other roms like Carbon, Havoc etc. But that's not the case in AOSPA Ruby Beta 1. I have a logcat, but I don't understand. May it be related to an audio/mic/speakerphone issue?
Hello guys!
I've just uploaded a new build. It brings Kcal/Klapse support, as requested by @Angrydr0id
I've also fixed touchscreen in Lineage recovery, it's working again now
Lineage recovery images are now available for download in a specific folder on SourceForge. They are meant to be flashed with fastboot and then booted with fastboot reboot recovery
Just updated and everything works perfectly also in the recovery, thanks for implementing KCAL.
If someone uses FrancoKernel Manager to modify the values of the screen in "Display Control", I recommend the following settings, I love the saturation of the colors:
Saturation: 275
Value: 251
Contrast: 258
Hue: 0
Thanks.

Another +1 in hope of fixing this issue, a fix would easily catapult this ROM to top of the charts for this device. I think this is possibly the biggest issue for mata development currently and only AOSPA folks (and stock) seems to have fixed it.

I'll start looking into this issue in the very next days. Keep an eye on this thread
New build available! Featuring November's security patches plus several interesting kernel updates and improvements, such as DDR bandwidth boost on app startup (should improve app launching time a bit), memory allocation speed & overhead improvements, Wireguard support and DriveDroid support. I haven't tested Wiregaurd and DriveDroid, so try them if you can and let me know if they work.
The speakerphone issue is still under investigation, I haven't had enough time to look at it lately.

@Tomoms , I've been using official 18.1 for several months, and my impression if that your ROM is a major improvement - smoothness, and esp. battery life. It might be partly due to the fresh install, but so far, so good. Thank you! The phone is a backup to my Pixel 4a, but has been called upon several times, so having an up-to-date Android on the PH-1 is important for me.
As with the other poster(s), the speaker / mic issue is a problem. My dad, very senior and hard of hearing, has another PH-1, and the issue makes video call difficult for him. Hope you have some time to look into it.

Glad you're liking my ROM. Yep, don't worry, I've already started to look into the speakerphone issue

I'm glad you're looking into it, it's my number 1 gripe atm. Is there a clear path to fix the speakerphone issue that you see?
Hello, a new build is coming tomorrow together with a possible fix for the speakerphone issue. Come back in 24 hours and you'll find it
