Huawei Honor 5X with Lineage OS - how is it done? - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

I am new to this forum, and could not find a thread regarding this. If there is one, feel free to link to it and close this thread.
I wish to install Lineage OS onto my Honor 5X, as it is unbearably slow, and only 8 months old. I was recommended to install a custom ROM instead of just buying a new phone, and thought that it sounded interesting, but I do not know how it is done.
I have found the Download link for Lineage OS on download.lineageos.org/kiwi
But from here, I am clueless about what to do.
Can any of you point me in the right direction?

Nougat Update

Has anyone seen or heard of any working nougat roms for the honor 5x
You know, Android 6/6.0.1 is stil in Beta? I think we should finised this version before we start with Android 7.
But if anyone will start with Android 7for Honor 5x i would love it
Once one is released I'm sure it will have it's own thread. I doubt anyone would be using a 7.0 ROM and keep it a secret from everyone.
I don't see the need for 7.0, I mean, it's just going to boot slower. Some people just like higher numbers I guess.
This thread should be in the Q&A forum. Maybe a mod can move it.

buddy this thread heading clearly states that you can only post about ROMS. KERNELS and other Development Stuff. Please bear in mind next time do not start new threads like this in development section.

It should work flawlessly (if it's AOSP or CM). Plus CM already started to work on nougat for kiwi (5x)

U can try in development section

redmi note 4 nikel rom

hello, im a noob on XDA, only used it for some time, and i dont know if i posted in the right thread.
i have a problem with finding a good ROM on my Redmi Note 4 MTK (nikel), i looked everywhere, cant seem to find. i would love to see a lineage os for my model, or ressurection remix. the rest is or too little to costumize or a phone breaking bug.
i can just stick with MIUI but its way to boring, and has a LOT of pre-installed apps.
Please help!
No help in your case. There is lineage os, but with bugs of course. Maybe in future we will see something other than Miui on Nikel. There is AOSP, which you could try. it's a good daily driver. And of course, you need to unlock your bootloader.

did you find any answers ? I'm searching the same. But for Gigaset 290
Same here.
Would love to buy a Gigaset GX290 Plus (the successor, see the official site), but only if i could use Lineage OS.
Nothing? The Gigaset GS290 seems to be very similar and with this device, it seems to be possible.
I've created a thread with some questions concerning Lineage OS and the GX290 (Plus) here.

@Voodooviking:
What's with this site? It's about the GS290, that shares mostly (but not all) the same Hardware.
I think it's very possible that this procedure might work on the GX phones, but that's not for sure. It doesn't seem like anyone tested it. Well, it's a not-so-common phone - but i was hoping to find some skilled devs here that could elaborate a little about this.
Also, as much as i find the /e/ Project interesting, i'd rather prefer Lineage. Will the instructions (and files) provided for the /e/ Setup work with Lineage, too?
But thanks for the link - if i'm really going to get this phone (still not sure) and a proven backup routine exists, i might give it a try. Maybe.

General question about custom ROM

Hello guys,
I'm thinking about getting a custom ROM on my p20 lite. I'm an absolute beginner in this topic tho.
I've already looked up how to get a bootloader code via PotatoNV and how to root the phone with TWRP.
While looking for a ROM that suits my needs I realized that it's not that easy like I first thought it was.
For example LOS for p20 lite is not maintained anymore and I stumbled across multiple reports that the camera or fingerprint sensor did not work after installing a custom rom.
Therefore, my question is: Is there a ROM for my p20 lite that is stable enough to use it as a daily driver without the need of countless hours of fixing errors?
I'm not that picky when it comes to the different OS. I just don't want to use EMUI anymore because it feels like the Chinese can see anything I do (totally regret buying this phone btw)
Any help or opinions are very appreciated! Thank you very much!
Model: ANE-LX1
Build: 9.1.9.377
EMUI: 9.1.0

Sorry to sound rude here, but maybe if you try to read whole section you would find the answer...
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/anne
"Warning: The Huawei P20 Lite is no longer maintained. A build guide is available for developers that would like to make private builds, or even restart official support."
The problem is that I don't understand most of the stuff. But This TWRP is DISCONTINUED, "I have unlocked my device and is currently running LineageOS 16 from OpenKirin. There are a few things which does not work, like the camera app that comes with the OS as well as the notch, where icons goes beyond the notch.", "These gapps are unofficial and are in beta stage so you can maybe face a lot of crases", .... sound like I have to put in a lot of effort into this. I'm wondering if it's worth the time if in the end it doesn't work anyway.
A good choice is CAOS. There are a lot of users here running it. And @-Alf- gives great support as long as you read the forum and follow given links.
