So, i saw many comments about asking about Nougat, features and stuff... that maybe could be solved all that questions in a thread. If this is pointless, just i'll ask an admin to clean this up... but the point of this thread is solve so common questions about the newer builds of nougat.
This build is stable?
The build is very stable, but not at the point of MM. There's some less battery performance but after all: that builds are in an alpha/beta stage, so... this things could happen. But after all, it works smoothly.
Nice rom, but when you can update it? When you'll fix the bugs?
Everybody's just love when there's an update date or release date, we know it. But please, don't ask ETA. It may annoy the developer, and after all, we're human and we have things happening in real life, so maybe the real life business take over the dev's time to make changes and test it. Be patient, please
There will be a fix for video recording?
The dev's (at this date) are working on it. The known workaround that could be useful is: You can use Cameringo Lite to solve it.
CM14 ONLY: There's CMTE? Can i use themes? X feature doesn't work, what's happening?
By now, the CM people it's working and rebasing their work on the new nougat AOSP. Maybe in october (or when they have it ready) they'll implement slowly all those features. And if some feature doesn't work on the CM14 version, please, remember: that's an alpha build and CM team is working to make it work. By now it doesn't seems to work but, it's an alpha build, that thing could happen.
If you want to theme your device, you could try substratum by now.
This doesn't work on X device, please help
Reporting issues are more useful to devs if you log it. If you have an USB, search in google how to install ADB and use logcat. If you can use the device, you can install catlog, record the log and replicate the issue. After that, copy or upload the log and send it to the dev.
Hope this helps!
will u build cm14 for vee3 ?
Hello,
@sir_bazz mentioned that this needed its own thread, thus I'm creating one.
I've been building LineageOS 14.1 from the official LineageOS source repository for my personal devices for some time now, and it finally occurred to me that others might find them useful.
These builds are created every Saturday night from a 100% unaltered LineageOS repository, which is synchronized with upstream every day. I must stress that there are NO MODIFICATIONS at all; if it worked/didn't work in the last official Cyanogenmod/LineageOS releases, it works/doesn't work in my builds. At Apple we called these "sustaining builds" -- they keep devices in sync with the latest security patches, but receive no new features.
Deb is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/deb/. Flo is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/flo/. There are other devices being built as well ... if you would like me to add a 14.1 or 15.1 device to the weekly build roster, please let me know.
I hope this helps out folks who want to extend the service lifetime of their gear. Share and enjoy.
Edit: per moderator request, I need to provide a link to the source repository used to generate these builds to comply with XDA's interpretation of the GPL. It is the stock LineageOS repository, located at git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git. TheMuppets binary repository was used for the vendor blobs; it is at https://github.com/TheMuppets/
Have been testing the latest weekly for a couple of days now, and no issues to report.
My Deb device is relegated to a dedicated Pogo tablet and I think Lineage 14.1 is a better match for my use as there's noteably more memory available after system startup than with the Pie ROMs I've tested.
It just feels much smoother.
Would've been more than happy with monthly updates but thanks for building the ROM and also making weeklies available for us Nexus 7 diehards.

Likewise. I was just about to junk a (relatively) new N7 (flo) on stock MM. but wanted to give a newer ROM a try (Oreo). I didn't like my O options and stumbled upon these N builds on the backend of another thread. Flashed/Magisk couple Mods. Been up a week now and not one problem whatsoever!
Really appreciate the work as this ROM (I had never used a LinOS rom before) is running so well the N7 is almost my daily house driver again. The N7 FF really has never been matched/surpassed and once you've become accustomed to it its just hard to give up that "sweet spot".

Hi, I've just updated both my Hammerhead 15.1 and Flo 14.1. Everything has gone smoothly and all is working. I was just hoping you could clarify something that occurred to me regarding the builds.
When you say there are no modifications, does that mean that the basic ROM is frozen at the point when LineageOS stopped releasing official builds, and does that also mean that builds in between the monthly security updates are all the same or can there be other security/bug fixing updates from LineageOS? Also Lineage 15 was never official for the Nexus 5 or 7? I'm a bit in the dark as to how these things work.
Thanks in advance.

No worries. By "no modifications", I mean that these are built directly from a clone of the LineageOS repository. I've made absolutely no changes to the source code. No kernel tweaks, no new features, no hidden spyware, no bugfixes (no matter how much I am tempted to do so!).
The LineageOS folks merge the monthly Google security patches into the 14.1 and 15.1 trees, but they don't make official builds for devices that no longer have a maintainer. Their official recommendation is to build it yourself if you want to keep your devices patched, but a non-trivial number of users can't make their own builds, so ...
... since I'm doing builds for my own devices anyway, it would be a good thing to make them available to others. Thus I have done so
Edit: argh, rereading I realize I didn't directly answer your exact question. From an end-user perspective, these builds are indeed frozen in time compared to the last official LineageOS build. Security patches happen as described above.
The Nexus 7 never received an official 15.1 build as far as I can tell, so I'm generating 14.1 for it.
The Nexus 5 is a bit of a grey area, in that builds generated from the 15.1 branch work fine with the exception of Bluetooth (from what I hear, as I don't use Bluetooth on my device). It appears to require a device repartition if you want to use Google apps, though, so I'm building both 14.1 and 15.1 to keep options option.

OK. Thanks for the explanation. Sorry to ask again, but does that mean that I only have to update once a month for the security updates, and that the other weekly builds are basically just repeats? Or am I misunderstanding?

They're repeats. I'm doing them weekly to reduce the amount of time between the security patch hitting the tree and having a patched build available.

Outstanding. That is exactly the reason why I'm making these builds. There's no reason to trash perfectly good hardware. Kudos to the LineageOS folks for keeping the tree patched -- the only thing missing were, um, actual builds.
Hi !
Thank you for your LOS 14.1 updating release, but I have error 7 with TWRP when I try flash it.

Make certain you're flashing the correct image. Boot into the bootloader and verify that the platform is the same as the build variant you are flashing. Good luck.

I'm afraid not. These are built from unmodified LineageOS source repo; I'm just providing sustaining builds, not doing new development/porting.

Hi. One Question, can i update over last zeelogs LOS Build?
Hello,
As the thread where I originally announced this was locked for reasons apparently unrelated to my build, and the links removed, I'm creating a new thread to keep the community aware of these builds.
I've been building LineageOS 14.1 from the official LineageOS source repository for my personal devices for some time now, and it finally occurred to me that others might find them useful.
These builds are created every Saturday night from a 100% unaltered LineageOS repository, which is synchronized with upstream every day.

At Apple we called these "sustaining builds" -- they keep devices in sync with the latest security patches, but receive no new features.
The build for the Asus Zenpad 8.0 Z380K[N]L (aka P024) is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/p024/. This appears to work on both the Z380KL (as reported in the locked thread) and my Z380KNL. There are other devices being built as well ... if you would like me to add a 14.1 or 15.1 device to the weekly build roster, please let me know.
I hope this helps out folks who want to extend the service lifetime of their gear. Share and enjoy.

Hi, I have been using your build and updated my device weekly! it' s still good and awesome. (I also use your build for my nexus7)
if you find Oreo, Pie version! please let everyone know. Thank you.
Thank's keep update bro.
Hi, I don't see your weekly build for 22 Nov 2019.
Are there any issues ?
Nice update thanks friends l.
Yeap yesterday i reported, and TS promised to update.
Argh, apparently I wasn't subscribed to my own thread. Fixed.
Sorry about the SIM recognization problem. Somehow my private dev builds were being uploaded instead of the sustaining builds. @DEV87WHY pinged me a few days ago to let me know. The newest build is from the correct tree, and hopefully this won't happen again.

Question about Unofficial rom for Asus ZenPad 8.0 z380knl
How do you update device with rom without losing apps and data? Is it possible to update from unofficial lineage os 14.1 from your repository to latest unofficial lineage os 14.1 build from your repository without having to reinstall apps? My understanding is that you follow the process of normal flash of rom but you don't wipe? Is that it?
Another question:
Does MTP(file transfer) work with this ROM?
Also, did you manage to unlock bootloader(oem unlock). I know it is possible to flash the rom without bootloader unlock. Is that how you do it or you have found a way to unlock bootloader?
Thank you so much.

Hi there,
First off -- thanks for the gift! Much appreciated.
If you're just flashing one of my newer builds on top of one of my older builds, then you shouldn't have to do anything special. Just kick the device into recovery and flash on top of the older build. If you're coming from the ancient Cyanogenmod or the stock ROM, then AFAIK you'll have to wipe.
MTP *should* work but I've never tried it. I don't have my device with me right now so I can't do a quick verification.
For unlocking the bootloader, I'm trying to remember (this was several years ago). IIRC I put it into fastboot and did a tethered recovery boot (i.e., "fastboot boot /path/to/recovery_image_on_pc.img"). Then I did a full wipe and a flash ... and bricked the device because I had a Z380KNL and the Cyanogenmod image at the time supported only the Z380KL.
I then put the stock ROM back on, and when the KNL bits hit the Cyanogen repository, I flashed it with success. At no point did I ever successfully unlock the bootloader as far as I can tell -- I downloaded the ASUS unlock but it never reported success. When booted into fastboot, there's a locked symbol at the lower right of the screen. That doesn't interfere with flashing anything from recovery.
Oh, and important safety tip: to enter recovery from fastboot after you've flashed it via the tethered recovery boot, you'll have to choose "factory reset" on the KNL.
I hope that helps.
As soon as I find out MTP is working I will flash the rom

The info is most usefull. Thank you for that.
I am currently running my ZenPad 8.0 z380knl on Asus stock rom but ardently looking to upgrade to android 7.1.2 for security reasons as well as other reasons.
I was investigating if everything is working on the new rom. Also upgrade procedure from stock rom to lineage os and from lineage os 14.1 to latest 14.1 lineage os. Thankfully you cleared all that up. Thanks so much !
Only thing that remains for me to find out is if MTP is working on rom, so please check it for me when you have the time.
BTW, I haven't seen your new buld since last week.Will there be no update ?
Is everything working with this ROM?
Can i get confirmation from someone who is actively using it..
MTP and everything else working?

There should be an update (or two!) today. The build rooster hung about midway through last week's build for deb, and was actually still running after seven days. I killed off the deb build process and it's progressing to the other devices, although much slower than it should be. I'll troubleshoot this after the regularly scheduled build completes late tonight.
(I'm using Arch Linux on this build machine, and it seems that something in the filesystem layer in kernel > 5.4.10 doesn't like operating under sustained heavy load)
I saw your new build today and have installed it. Thank you
However, The latest security patch has not been applied yet. Hope it will come in next build.
Thank you so much for maintaining the device.
Thank you wileyc !

the Android security patch was updated to Jan 2020! Thank you very much.
I am worried how long you will keep sharing your build weekly.
Hope next 2 years Thanks again.
I have also installed the latest. Thanks so much!
Thankyou for the update :good:
What about selinux?
I'm just wondering what are the possible reasons why an Official Lineage 17 isn't out yet. Is it because it doesn't have a maintainer or is it something else?
Proprietary_vendor_xiaomi is still down due to the DCMA take down... until they decide what they want to do with the material that contributed to the take down there will be never an OFFICIAL lineage based rom from them. There may be unofficial for sure which is going to be just as good but no official builds

Firstly, Official Pie builds are still up. So nothing is down or stopped.
Secondly, Official LineageOS 17 is not up because it does not exist yet for any device.
Tell me one device which has Official Lineage 17.
Let LineageOS finalise it first. You cannot have something that does not exist.
Please do not spread mis-information.
Hey guys, I hope all are doing fine.
I'm wondering guys if there is any way to get an official Lineage OS rom for Samsung Galaxy note 8!!
All that I found are the unofficial one's and I don't know if it is safe to use or not!
Another thing is the Lightrom OS that I found in our site here, but I found those two things, which are Rom and Kernels!
Should I install both of them or only the Rom enough to do the whole thing, I mean it will also install the Kernel too!
Those were my thoughts and questions, appreciating your helps in this, and thanks in advance

I doubt we will see Official Lineage OS as it requires too much work and the developer does not have the free time. The source code is posted on the thread so if there was anything dodgy in there someone would pick up on it, especially by now. Lineage 17.1 does get monthly builds for the security patches via OTA. If you're interested in flashing it you can get the latest builds here - https://images.stricted.net/lineageos/greatlte/
I can't comment on Lightrom as I believe there are a number of Lightrom's and I'm not sure to which one you refer to.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kindness reply, I will see about the lineage, it is the one I trust in more in terms of open source Roms.
As for the Lightrom and my question about it, it could come on any other Rom, I mean in general if there's a Rom and a Kernel should I install them both or only will do the whole work (I mean by that it will install both Rom and a Kernel in a single installation process), in which I doubt, but just want to make sure, because it's my first time thinking of installing custom kernel.

When you flash a rom it will flash the kernel too at the same time.
