I haven't tried calling, but since I'm still on this ROM, I'm gonna try it. Will give you feedbacks tomorrow. Its the middle of the night here so I can't make any calls
Sent from my MT6582 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Happened to me randomly 3-4 times a day (in the last rom) after making few calls only. Need to reboot and things go fine again

I have a small request since I'm a total noob at f#cking around with ROMs and my device root directories: Make a CM 13 for Lenovo A536? I tried to use one from the well-known MTKRoms that generalized their ROM for all MT6582 devices and caused my phone to enter a bootloop.
I was forced to install from backup and am now trying to pull my boot.img with no fruitful result. Guess I'm forced to stick with CM 12.1. Thanks for this update.

Actually I've already ported CM13, but due to its instability I won't release (that's what I had in mind, until I saw this comment). Since you want it so badly, I'll release it for you.

Well nevermind, I decided to download your CM 12.1 and take the boot.img out of it and made a successful port. Save yourself from the effort needed xD.

I heard there was a VPN bug. You can try OpenVPN, just google it up.

Vpn bug is common in cm based custom roms.

3G data connection, GPS issues
I have flash it on my Lenovo a536, but I have the same issues as any CM 12.1 roms. I'm working with 3G data connection only on SIM 1. If for some reason the network switched from 3G to 2G, then the data connection dropped and stay that way until I restart the device. Is there any work around about it?
As for the GPS, some times it locks about 2 - 3 minutes and sometimes it could take 15 - 20 minutes. The tests performed every time on the same location outside. The worst part is when it locks, the position error starts from 15 meters and starts drops to 5 meters, with the use of 7 - 8 satellites. Then it starts to move up again to 15 meters, with the same satellites use. That makes GPS completely inaccurate. Also when I enable 3G data connection, then the GPS signal gets lost and some times it came back but the location error is worst.
For daily use I'm working with PussyFap4. The time to lock GPS it takes from 1 - 2 minutes max and 4 second min. When it locks the position error is about 2 - 4 meters constant and the 3G connection data it doesn't affect GPS signal. Also the switch of the network from 3G to 2G it doesn't affect the data connection.

getting error that installation aborted?...
can you help me please !

First build is up (for GSM, CDMA in a couple of minutes). I havent' tested myself yet, but people for RAZR HD say it's just as useable as CM10.1.

Heads up everyone. You will lose Root Access and have to reroot when installing 4.3 Other than that everything is going good so far. You can root with MotoFail2Go zip tho.

Hey, umm, I feel weird asking but did you need to do anything different to build the source than CM-10.1?
When building mine stops (with errors) at either Focal or Alsa, with "make -i -k" I can't get it to make a flashable zip only the IMG's.
If nothing different, what Java and GCC version are you using?
((As I have said in other posts though, I build from source to save bandwidth, learn, and maybe contribute. Not to re-brand anybodys hard work.))
Can I use these gapps with 4.2.2?

Correct me if I am wrong, I do not think so though. 4.3 is a different API level than 4.2.2 so it will need it's own version of Gapps.

Just this. See http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/46875/ .
Hey Skrillax, thanks!
Unfortunately, with me, It stays at the boot screen forever.
I have no idea what I should do to make it work.
Well it seems to be a long filesystem check. Give it 4 - 5 minutes first. I'm still on 4.2.2.
Hello again: I reached the welcome screen, finally. Unfortunately, there has been a chain of force-closes (never-ending). Should I start it all over or is it better to wait for a few more days?
Thanks again, mate.
I myself will wait until they start rolling nightlies for CM10.2 (at least Nexus 4).
You'll get a lot FC's at first. Let it be and after data comes up,force closes will be disappeared.
Sent from my XT897 using Tapatalk 2
i am on the nightly from 03.08.2013 cm10.2 gsm version and it is running stable. only 1 force close after first boot and the finishing of the configuration (like languag setup, google acc. etc), this force close is from the clock but only this one time. this was the only fc until now.
the wifi/data/mobile phone connection seems good too.

how to get root back:
1. Settings --> About Phone --> Tap 7 times on Build-Number. now you should have the deeloper options back.
2. Settings --> Developer options --> Root-Access. select here "Apps & ADB
3. activate USB Debugging.
4. Reboot, finish now you should have root again.
Silly Me
Updated ADB in the sdk dir., but kept running the bat file in the old dir.
Thanks-You

this is a new "feature" of android 4.3 and not a bug. even if the wifi is off, it will be used for localization.

This is only for all the MOTO E 2015 LTE variant. Don't try it on anything else.​
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.0.0 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Installation
Requires Unlocked Bootloader & a custom recovery. Also, use opengapps nano/pico: http://opengapps.org/
Place ROM & Gapps in your virtual SD
Reboot in Bootloader Mode
Go to "Recovery" (Vol +/Vol -) and confirm (power)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik cache
Install the ROM zip
DO NOT REBOOT
Install the Gapps zip (optional)
Reboot
N.B. Official LineageOS builds are unrooted, if you want this feature back flash su (arm) (available here) then enable root access from Settings -> Developer options.
Unroot is even easier, just flash "su removal" package available at the previous linked page. (not yet implemented - Use magisk instead)
Also, a big thanks to @Alberto97 for the osprey/msm8916 bringup, @DroidFreak32 for the help and the commits and the repos i had to use, @CarlosArriagaCM for the Wi-Fi fixes, @amarc78 for the testing on dual-sim devices.

NOTE FOR THOSE WHO USE DATA: Please, go and enable developers options and then DISABLE MOBILE DATA ALWAYS ACTIVE! This will eat your data if you have it enabled (check latest screenshots). Also, the first boot may be laggy as hell, so, wait until the "Android is upgrading" notification ends and then reboot. You'll get a more stable system after that.
FAQ
Q: It's for daily usage?
A: It's a experimental test build to have fun and mess with. Obviously the bugs will be fixed soon, but, if you are flashing this rom and using it for daily usage and then complaining about it, don't point at me, you're the responsible for flashing this.
Q: Camera will be fixed?
A: Well, the camera it's a thing because we use a old type of camera, that previously was unsupported (HAL1, remember that nougat doesn't got video recording? Well, it was because of our type of camera). So, we have to wait to lineage to fix it or workaround it in some way.
Q: I got x issue flashing x mod!!
A: First of all, naturally mods are unsupported, and more in this case, i mean, it's a new version of android, obviously some stuff will be unsupported and they have to update it, so, if your mod doesn't work, please don't report it here.
Q: I got x issue! halp
A: If the issue wasn't reported already on the OP, please report it with a log, you can take it with adb logcat on your pc, or replicating the issue and logging it with Matlog (requires root)
Q: Sir pls do it for otus/moto e4/idk
A: I don't have the device so, how can i test if everything is ok? Also, please don't spam "Waiting for x device" because... that will not do anything more than make spam
Q: Where can i get gapps for 8.0?!?!?!
A: Please go back into the first post and read it carefully.
Q: When i installed the gapps, and go into play store, my phone keeps into "Getting info"
A: Did you flashed rom and after a reboot did you flashed gapps? that's why it's getting there. Else, i don't know tbh, it should work normally if you clean flash the ROM along with gapps.
Q: If i want to flash some new update, how can i do it?
A: Without doing any wipes, flash the new release, the gapps and magisk (if you used it, if you didn't flashed it, skip this) and then reboot. You'll have everything working without crashes and stuff
I think that's it for now, here's some screenshots

Sorry but Jio4GVoice App Just helps Dervice w/o VoLTE to place a call over Network & also If you are able to receive and place call using Jio (with Audio/Voice of Bidirectionally) without Jio4GVoice App Than its considered to have VoLTE Support
Edit:-
Tested Calling Using VoLTE (Device Dialer) it worked sometimes (not every time)
While Receiving Calls (Incoming Calls) are most probably received (Out of Coverage Area or Device Switched OFF) but when its placed The Device Restarts to TWRP (Factory Data Restart - Device Restarting)
These are the issues I faced (Using Phone Dialer)
Note: As per Dev VoLTE is still unimplemented so don't bother about it much till its implemented or said so by the Dev
@ElDainosor Thanks for the ROM
@ElDainosor
Hi, downloading 09.07 & pico. Will flash soon.
Do you need some tests?
Xt1524.
Hmm...
Oreo is ugly like... curdled milk, out of date for consumption.
Flashed without any problems, restoring apps from google account, will flash magisk 14 soon.
New trebuchet? Where the globe is rolling?
Good job.
Bt works, poweramp, jetaudio - yes, black player - no.
Tomorrow will check gps - waze, g.maps, navime.
Magisk 14, adaway - yes. Waze - yes.
How can I disable charging led(only for charging)?

- When in the recovery and rebooting into system the phone closes (unplug the batery and reboot it)
- Reboot just powers down the device
- [not tested] Grenify causes bootloops
- You can fix the IMEI with Tool Hero (the update of MobileUncle), after that uninstall it.
- I face mobile data problems (data work whenever they want)...
Instructions:
0. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP! This ROM doesn't do well with you NVRAM... You will probably need to restore your IMEI, your Serial Number would be lost, your Mac Address etc. So... backup.
1. Make sure you are on ROW format. You can check this from your "Baseband version", it should contain/say ROW or CN. You can flash this ROM first to move to a ROW format (taken from this tutorial). You can always replace the "recovery.img" file with this recovery.img that i have cooked (English version). Can also be flashed over "[MM 6.0.1] Unofficial Cyanogenmod 13".
2. Download this file (LineageOS 14.1 rom), put it in your SD (source).
3. Boot into your TWRP recovery, wipe Dalvik / ART Cache / System / Cache / Data, and flash the zip from you SD. Installation takes a lot of time.
5. Boot phone and BOOM, Android 7.1.2!!!! (boot takes a little too)
6. To enable root access or reboot to recovery, open Settings->About->Tap "Build number" many times to unlock Developer Options->go back->Developer Options->Check "Advance reboot" and change "Root access"
IMEI Problems/Fixes:
You can fix the IMEI with:
- With MobileUncle (follow these steps)
- Tool Hero (the update of MobileUncle), after that uninstall it.
- Else... if you don't know that you can run IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3, flash this ROM and try to run it (setup drivers etc). Then FORMAT the phone (with flashtool click format,auto), and flash (click download this time) this ROM(the same with the first link), and then change the IMEI etc with IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3.

It worked fine and very smooth for one day until i started using Link2SD (since phone's space is way too small). After some failed linked apps (after changing a SDcard) i started having problems and many apps crashed (not the linked ones!). I am going to reinstall the rom and clean everything and i will report back.
But the first day was really really good. I was able to play StarWars Heroes, which i was not able to play with the CM 13 rom (was too laggy).

It might also be a problem with link2sd itself, I was using it without problem on this phone with cyanogenmod (android 6) and in one of the last updates it blocks the phone.
A quick solution when the phone is not booting (my case) rather that fully reinstall, is go into recovery, terminal, cd /data/apps/ and delete link2sd .apk. By doing that the phone booted normally, so I would blame a little link2sd. There have been some updates (of link2sd) afterwards, but haven't tried them.

Just a hint if system space is so limited: opengapps has the possibility to uninstall/replace system apps by custom script.
Check: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options
You can, for example, remove eleven, gallery, screen recorder... and then maybe there is space for a pico flashing

Yes probably. Anyway the biggest problems with this roms is that the IMEI is lost. Now I can't restore it. I have driver problems connecting it to the PC and not the time to fix it.
Google Drive Link doesn't work... d'oh
Unfortunately, the google drive link no longer works. Does anybody have a direct link to the file?
Moreover, apparently there are several variants of A5500-F. There is not only CN and ROW, but also MT6582 and MT6735.
I have MT6582 ROW. Would the file match?
If not, does anybody have an idea where to get a recent Android for the A5500-F ROW MT6582 that can be downloaded without too many hoops to jump through? Why can't people post straight links?
Thanks,
Alain

Sir, this thread is for Lenovo A850 (plain). It will not work on A5500 or anything other than A850.
Are A8-50 and A5500-F the same or not?

Problem is, some posts (even on this site) say A8-50 and A5500-F are the same thing. Heck, even Amazon's bill from back when I bought it calls it an A8-50. A list of all A8-50 variants and how to tell them apart would be helpful.

There is only one Lenovo A850.
Has Anyone manage to install a stable lineageOS on a Lenovo A8-50 A5500H or A5500H
Hi
I´ve been looking though the sites via google, but cant find anything definitiv about running Lineage on A5500 modells with chipset MT6582
Kernel: 3.4.67.
Works fine with Kitkat but I can get som apps to run on it since they dont support Kitkat anymore .

....
Yes, just simple as that. Get ready to #AlignTheDots !
ROM FEATURES
C'mon, you should discover it yourself! Flash it and play with your buddy!
ROM BUGS
Code:
- Camera : Shots are pixelated
- Gallery : Thumbnails' color is sort of like gone haywire :3 (tbc)
ROM INSTALLATION
*NEW USERS: Unlock bootloader and flash latest TWRP using fastboot
1. Boot into TWRP (Power + Volume Down > Select Recovery Mode)
2. If clean flash, wipe /data, /cache, /system
3. If you'd like to have f2fs, format /data (your internal SD content will be lost!) and /cache to f2fs.
4. Proceed into flashing ROM (install ZIP or sideload)
5. Proceed into flashing other ZIPs if any.
6. Reboot system. First boot takes about 10-15 minutes. Be patient ​
SIDE NOTES
- If you were to install GAPPS, well... I did say that you'll have to figure it out on your own.
- Builds are rootless, you have the option to install Magisk on your own.
- Builds are not tested on Nexus 7 2012 3G variant. I doubt if they work anyway.
- Signature Spoofing support is yet to be added :3

I will look into that soon.
I have quite a number of stuffs coming up these weeks, thus will put this aside first.
For GAPPS, I still yet to try install GAPPS, thus I wrote that you guys are to figure it out on your own . But as a tip for you, previously when I'm using RR Nougat, I removed a lot of foreign fonts, TTS files, sound media files, and was able to get pico opengapps installed successfully (I didn't use gapps-config anyway).
As a suggestion, you can also try to have the GMSCore installed as user app (in /data partition). During the days when I'm using Samsung Galaxy Ace, we used to have the GMSCore installed on /data.
@TureX I can't reproduce your problem regarding app permissions. Can you reconfirm this? I've tried Kiwi Browser from Play Store too.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Now i can't reproduce cause i format the tablet, maybe was corrupted my installation that cause that issue. Sorry for my bad English.
Development discontinued
Was quite busy lately, didn't even have time to relax browsing on the nexus.
Few days ago left my Nexus 7 aside in my book rack after fully charged. That time I have personal modified gapps installation installed.
Not sure if is my gapps configuration is not proper, it caused the tablet to overheat. I just noticed it when back home from work at night. So literally GMSCore is using my cpu for the whole day (surprisingly not wakelocking). Whole tablet hot as f*.
Left it charge, the next day after unplugged, using it for few minutes, then sudden blank. Cannot even charge. Total dead.
Suddenly yesterday it boots, but has symptoms of emmc failure (as I recall it now). That time not sure what happened, not even have time to look on it.
Today finally back home early, can check on it. Factory reset 2 times all sudden reboot when wipe. Highly confident is emmc failure. Try flash stock, write failed when flashing bootloader. Baam, Nexus 7 is total dead again.
Will try to reheat the chip and see if it revives, as the overheating seems to be the culprit. If not, then it's an end for Nexus 7's DotOS :| so sad :crying:
Thanks guys. Development will be halted for the time being.

Wow, that's quite a lot of them! But thanks, I've decided to continue building for Samsung Note 1 only. As I rarely use my Nexus 7 (in fact I didn't bought it but I get it free from someone).
Thanks for your kind offer anyway!

Switching motherboards takes like 5 minutes and is a simple task! Just saying because 6 month ago when mine broke due to the emmc bug and I paid around 25 Euros for another one (even was a 32GB from Hynix)...
So think twice about this offering!
Sorry for off topic discussion and have a great day!

0. Save data
1. Install TWRP
2. Format user data (all data will be lost)
3. Install ROM zip
4. Enjoy it
If you don't understand this, then don't start, I take no responsibility!
Well...I tried this ROM today.
Flashed everything because this is a new version. Everything works fine...no lags, freezing so far...
However, found only one thing..
1) speakers sounds needs to be done. When ringing in high volume, the sounds cracks..its like water in my speaker.
Note : I moved from the Pixel Experience A12 ROM, but flashed everything using the TWRP flash option. Used the latest official TWRP image file for fastboot.

Hi can i install this on top of my arrow os 11 official?
Will there be data loss or will it just be like an OTA update?
ROM works very well for me. Waiting for the clean AOSP and OTA updates to turn it into a daily driver.
OK..you guys will not believe what happened ...I was using this ROM since the First day..
my phone suddenly restarted and boot into the safe mode. Then I tried to restart but automatically going to fastboot mode.
I tried to install the ROM again , and another ROM but nothing happened...Tried the original A2 firmware via MiFlash Tool but giving the error "Flash Bluetooth _a Error""
Nothing works and don''t know what to do..?
P.S - When pressing PWR + VOL UP will booting into ROM booting logo but...Thats all...
-----------
: :Solved
If the MiTool not flashing the phone and giving Errors like above
1) Boot in to TWRP
2) Clear Cash / Delvik everything
3) Flash Official Mi Stock ROM Zip version
4) After flashing boot in to other partition,
5) Restart and an Error will display OS corrupted. Factory reset or exit
6) Select Factory Reset and everything will be cleaned and phone will boot to the OS.
Great
