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.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Wiki.
Important Info
Current lineage 14.1 bullhead nightlies are based on the N2G48C (August 2017) monthly update from google. So you should be using the vendor, radio and bootloader img from that update. They can be extracted from the factory image on google's site here. Or you can use the ones linked below that I already extracted:
Note: The radio and bootloader img is the same as what was in the previous monthly google update, so if you already have it you don't need to flash it.
* vendor-n2g48c.img
* radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.37.2.21.img
* bootloader-bullhead-bhz11m.img
The vendor img is flashable with twrp or fastboot. For the radio and bootloader img, use fastboot.
More information and installation instructions can be found on the LineageOS wiki here.

Issues with CM 14.1
Hello, today I tried to flash CM 14.1 but I had some issues like warning that my phone is corrupted or something and I have to contact manufacturer. I wasn't able to setup the device. I'm wondering if this can be flashed over purenexus 7.0 ROM with NBD90Z vendor image...or should I flash some newer vendor image ? Thanks for help community

Do not enable wifi or cellular data during setup, and it will not attempt the device setup part that you can't get past.
Otherwise pretty stable.

I've flashed it, it had some problems booting, but now its working. Here's my guideline:
1-If you do not want to get the VENDOR message at first boot, start flashing last NRD91N factory image
2-Flash TWRP from fastboot, and do a "Fastboot erase cache" and "Fastboot erase userdata"
3-Reboot into TWRP, and do a DATA Format
4-Reboot into TWRP and do a Full Wipe
5-Flash CM14.1 and OpenGapps (i used nano)
6-Reboot. Give it about 5 min, mine got stuck at CM logo. If after 5 min it does not boot, keep power button pressed for a few seconds till it reboots. It should boot properly now.
7-If after booting, entering SIM Pin code DO NOT ENABLE WIFI OR DATA. It will cause a loop on the wizard. Let both be disabled till the end of the config.
8-Reboot and you should have CM14.1 official working.
Here's proof:
Sorry for my english. :angel:
UPDATE:
Ok, i've been doing some more testing with both official 7.0 and dev preview 7.1 and here are my results:
1-If you want, you can use 7.1 dev preview as base, using the same tutorial above. The only difference will be that after every reboot, right before PIN Code, it will tell you the VENDOR.img message. Nothing to worry about.
2-I don't know if it is a placebo effect or not, but I get better performance on the CM14.1 if I use 7.1 as base. I think it is more fluent.
3-Using 7.1 as base definetively changes something, there's a little "glitch" or graphical difference with 7.0. Here's proof:
As you can see, Menu item switch looks different from 7.0.
4-In my experience, I've decided to disable the stock Web Browser and install any other, because the one that comes with the build gives FCs some times, and I think it has some memory leak or something, that makes the OS lag. After disabling it, everything works fine.
Hope this helps to anyone.
Cheers

Thanks for you're contribution to N5x!

I've never used but want to try this out since i'm hearing a lot about it....what I want and need to know is what features comes with this ROM? something tells me i'm really going to like it.

---

Gallery app freezes and then the phone resets...and ElementalX has dark camera bug

---

Im unable to complete the initial settings.
After connecting to wifi or data, im prompted to copy data from another device with some error messages and i cant proceed, im always taken back to previous settings screens.
When i try to turn off the wifi and data, the phone tell me that "unable to connect" and im taken back to "choose how to connect" screen. So... any suggestions? I even tried "factory reset" but with no luck.
Im using the newest bootloader from 7.1.1 DP, is this a possible source of the issues? Thanks!

yep, just heard about that couple hours ago.
already submitted fix, just testing it now.

EDIT: Thanks to @DeHuMaNiZeD for testing my changes. The fix is now merged and will be in the next nightly.

My impressions so far are exactly as mentioned above by others with the added addition that battery icons dont work when you switch landscape and circle. Hidden and text work. Other than that the rom is pretty stable.

Couldn´t sign in
You don´t have a network connection.
After pressing next i can either turn on mobile data or connect to wifi.
So.. sorry your advice really didnt helped at all. :crying:
PS: even got "CM stopped working". I even downloaded NRD91N factory image, used its bootloader, radio and vendor. With no luck. Im DEcrypted btw. How the hell you managed to make it work?
PPS: Should i use CM Recovery instead of TWRP? "Sigh" this is frustrating..

I came from tupac4u's debloated Nought rom, but flashed an unofficial CM14.1 build before this official one. During that process I was prompted to encrypt. I used TWRP 3.0.2-2 throughout. I get warnings during boot, but I clear them with no ill effects.
Not sure what else to tell you. As far as the setup goes, there's instructions a few posts up on how to delete the wizard all together. I didn't need to do this however. Initially I was stuck on the copy from device screen (there's no forward or submit button), but was able to go back, long press and forget the previously saved wifi, uncheck mobile data, and proceed forward skipping the device sync part. When I first opened play store, I was asked for my google credentials and two-factor code.

7-If after booting, entering SIM Pin code and WIFI, it gets stuck at "looking for another terminal" or similar, reboot to TWRP and go: MOUNT-->TICK SYSTEM. Then got to ADVANCED-->FILE MANAGER-->SYSTEM/PRIV-APP/CYANOGENSETUPWIZARD and press option button-->DELETE.
This helped A LOT. I got rid of bugged (i know, first nightly) CM settings wizard and got into AOSP settings wizard which was flawless. Im using the CM 14.1 now! Finally!
Thanks!

What I did to fix this is I did I clean install with no gapps so that you don't have to do Google setup at first boot. booted fine, then I rebooted into twrp and flashed gapps. When I booted back up I just went to settings and added my Google account. I am using mini open gapps

After the registering problems, does the ROM is stable for daily use? I really want to try it, but it is my main phone...

someone posted how to get around the setup solution just a couple of post upwards, I was having that problem to, but followed his instructions and cm14 works fine now
@razorloves. the cm bug report keeps force closing.

Anyone else having problems with clock app? I can't open it at all, tried installing through aroma gapps and through app store, aside from that everything seems stable. Even my fingerprint unlock works again which makes me really happy, it stopped working during marshmallow and even after 7.0 it wouldn't work but somehow it's back and fully functional.

Not booting with F2FS data and cache partitions. Booting fine with jolla kernel. As I see stock kernel that included in ROM also supports F2FS, but I don't know why it's not booting.
