UPDATED BUILD 24 AUG 2020.
If anyone is still using this device, here is an updated build with the August 2020 Android Security Bulletin & all merged LineageOS changes since October 2017. MAKE SURE YOU FLASH USING THE TWRP IN THE ORIGINAL POST! You can flash over any builds in this thread, the camera still doesn't work and I have no interest in fixing it.

It's the same as any other lineage rom. Updated OP.

How well does Bluetooth Audio work? Does it make you sound like a Chipmunk?

---

Is enforcing SELinux supported? Or only permissive?
EDIT: Don't worry I saw the issue tracker post

---

I'm gonna try this rom
It's nice to see development alive!!!
Hope you could a finally fix the broken camera

---

Does anyone know anything about the KRACK vulnerability?

I don't know, nor do I have the accessories to test it. I would appreciate if you could try it and report back.

Does this fix also apply to the LineageOS 13.x Rom? I need the Front facing camera working, and that works under Marshmellow and not Nougat.

Just wanted to thank you for your hard work and dedication on this ROM project and wish you good luck with the camera as well.
Not that I find the camera on the R1 HD all that useful as it takes pretty lame photos, but the lack of camera is basically the only thing keeping me from ditching Blu software altogether.
I really hope you manage to get a 100% operational LineageOS for the R1 HD.
Yesterday I called Amazon and complained about the software that collected our personal information and data and submitted it to Blu headquarters in China. They said that I could return the phone for a full refund so at this point I am seriously contemplating doing that. The only problem is that I don't have a backup phone.
The lack of resources from MTK based processors is such a deal breaker. I was not aware it would be so difficult to get development going for it when I bought my phone last year.
Now I'm contemplating getting an used phone with better development support after I return my R1 HD.
I really wanted to wait until OnePlus released their new device with a better display and hopefully a near bezel less display and at least IP67 water resistance. That's the reason why I didn't go for the OP5. The upside-down screen was also another one.
If you could get the camera working in LOS than I'd hold on to my R1 HD for a a while longer. But I'm not keeping my hopes up... Just being realistic. Haha!
Thanks again!

Thanks for your support!
As of now, I've been studying the leaked MTK camera sources for other devices and using IDA to see what extra symbols and logic the stock libcameraservice.so and libcamera_client.so has. It appears that replacing these two libs was the key to fixing camera in cm-13 ports.

Thank you!
Oh, I didn't know camera support was fixed for CM 13 on the R1 HD. Maybe I didn't see it here. But I'd much rather have a non Blu version of Android with all security patches even if it's just on marshmallow.
Three days ago I just realized that Blu had a frigging app collecting my personal data and sending it back to China.
It had sent over 5.9MB of data since July 21st. I think it's a lot of data for text only transmissions.
Anyhow, I've been seeing people using Footej on other ROMs in which they could not get the camera working with stock camera app. Is that what you mean by getting the camera to work?

Dang! That's old! I guess devs should be more organized in doing a walk through with links to the files and recoveries needed to flash their awesome work.
Here's mine that I've just uploaded to zippy. I think it's the latest available and should be compatible with all ROMs.
Please report back with your findings and opinions on the ROM.
Please try to use both SIM cards to see if they work okay.

Which version of the ROM is installed on it now? Modified or stock? Which recovery is on the phone? Stock or TWRP?
