Hi!
I've successfully installed your build on my p024, together with opengapps and magisk. SELinux Enforcing. Everything seems to be working fine. Runs faster than marshmallow. Thank you!
Let me know if there's something new, something to test, etc.

Do you have a newer build for this device? I'm actually installing the tablet completely fresh and would use one with newest security patches.
Thank you!

Hello, Thank you for installing my build. However, I am still waiting for the Lineage OS gerrit team to bump the newest security patch to Lineage OS 14.1. Again, I can only build souce.

I'm also very happy with the build.
But I realized, that camera doesn't work well. If I'am using teams app on the device or camera via webbrowser, the camera freeze.
Do you have the same problem?

[ROM][Official][Nightly] LineageOS 15.1 for OnePlus 3/3T

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.​
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
*
*/
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. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). 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 our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.
Important information:
This thread is for LineageOS 15.1 builds for OnePlus 3/3T. The following will not be supported here:
Custom kernels
Mods
Xposed
We don't support Xposed and any logcat which includes a Xposed module will be ignored. You're kindly invited to not report bugs if you:
Flashed a custom kernel
Installed or did mods from untrusted sources
Modified system files
Tips:
SELinux works in permissive enforcing mode
You need at least OxygenOS 5.0 firmware, otherwise you'll get error 7 when installing the zip. Latest firmware is recommended.
Installation:
First time flashing LineageOS 15.1 on your device, or coming from another ROM?
Download the zip(s)
Install a compatible Recovery (Latest official TWRP is highly recommended: https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplusthree.html)
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)
Wipe data/factory reset
Flash LineageOS
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package
Reboot

Frequently Asked Questions
When you're about to ask a question, read the FAQs below, otherwise it'll be ignored.
Rule: NEVER ask for ETA
Q: Can we port treble to our device?
A: NO, unless OnePlus supports treble in official OxygenOS. Treble is trouble, treble is fake news. From my point of view treble brings zero benefit to the device. You already have countless custom ROMs, treble won't bring more fancy ROMs to the device, it just brings endless trouble to device maintainers. The most important point is, some of our proprietary vendor blobs aren't fully decoupled from /system, so fake Treble won't achieve the same effect as Google announced, especially when upgrading to new Android versions via GSIs.
Q: It VoLTE working on our device?
A: I don't know. My carrier doesn't support VoLTE/VoWLAN, but I've added necessary IMS stack to the ROM, and there're actually some users reported working VoLTE. If it doesn't work for you, DON'T issue me, I'm unable to fix it. Notice: If you strongly believe your carrier does support VoLTE/VoWLAN but the toggle doesn't even show up in settings, tell me your carrier's MCC/MNC number (check http://www.mcc-mnc.com/)
Q: Please add support for sRGB/DCI-P3 as cm-14.1
A: Our kernel does support them, you can enable it via sysfs toggle: /sys/class/graphics/fb0/srgb and /sys/class/graphics/fb0/dci_p3, maybe some apps could help you do this easier. The frontend is WIP(in fact it's already under reviewing, will be merged soonDone)
Q: Please add xyz features or fix UI/UX related bugs/regressions
A: All feature requests and UI/UX related stuff should go to LineageOS JIRA: https://jira.lineageos.org, I only take care of hardware-specific stuff.
Q: Can you make my device bypass SafetyNet?
A: https://www.lineageos.org/Safetynet/
So... its start... official?
Yes!!! :victory: Going to try it out once I'm done with work
Nice work! Gonna install it asap and report any issues.
Device OP3T, not rooted, encrypted.
I list here whatever I am able to find:
Charging doesn't make a sound nor vibrate, no matter what settings.
Option to switch hw keys light on/off is missing (i know not real issue, but many prefer them off)
Display modes missing sRGB, DCI-P3
Thank you! Will install and give feedback after few hours.
EDIT:So far so good. Very good for an alpha. But we should wait for official to daily use i think.
Edit again: Official rollout has been started. Except some kernel issues(fixable with custom kernel), great rom. Okay for daily use, no crashes or random reboots. Thanks anyone who put work on it.

apply patches on own android rom

Hello,
I'm developing my own android rom from sources right now. That also works so far. I get a complete ROM at the end. Unfortunately the security patch level is not up to date. How can I integrate the patches from the Android Bulletins into my ROM ?
Many thanks for your help

[UNOFFICIAL][ROM][10.0/9.0] LineageOS 17.1/16.0 [violet][Q/PIE]

Introduction
A spinoff thread from the previously-supported-official thread by Atman.
This thread will contain my unofficial builds for violet. On the 16.0 version, the only real fix (so far...) have been the fingerprint scanner sepolicy denials. I aim to do monthly/bimonthly builds to keep up to date with security patches, as so far I haven't encountered any other issues (let me know).
On the 17.1 version, I have slowly figured out how to make it work, but it is highly experimental.
The 16.0 ROM is stable (I use it as my daily driver).
If you find any bugs, please do take screenshots, give a way for me to replicate it on my device, and send a logcat. If you're super smart, use a logcat and filter for the keyword so I don't have to do even more digging
Please don't tell me to use PE/Mokee commits.
Yet another update. I've got 17.1 builds working without having to resort to cheap tricks and commits (sort of).
Flash instructions
Same as usual:
Reboot to fastboot and flash recovery with fastboot (You have to use the TWRP linked below. Other versions likely won't boot.)
Reboot to recovery TWRP
Wipe to format data, wipe again to wipe system and cache (not necessary if you're updating, only if you're switching ROMs)
Flash firmware (ADB sideload) (this step is dated. The newer builds have a higher target firmware so you should try to flash without the firmware first, then flash the firmware if the ROM doesn't work.)
Flash the ROM (sideload)
Flash GApps, Magisk, etc. as necessary
Done
Downloads (16.0) (STABLE)
Firmware (Dated firwmare)
Recovery (TWRP)
11-Jun-2021 build (with 05-May-2021 security patch), and MD5 Digest
For previous builds see below
Downloads (17.1)
Here's the 17.1 ROM. Here's the md5 hash. It has the March security patch.
It currently does not boot. If you would like to try and help with development, flash the ROM, and then flash the Chinese Q firmware on top of it (this can be downloaded from xiaomifirmwareupdater). Be warned that there is a risk that the newest android keymaster may re-encrypt your device, which in the worst case may require you to format data and/or reflash recovery and/or flash a fastboot MIUI rom. So, it's a bit risky, but likely won't be an issue.
Credits, Sources, etc.
Too many to mention. Atman Shah for getting this device supported earlier last year. ThE_MarD (Marc Bougoin) for other help. Various other names I've seen - Bruno Martins, Weikai Kong, Wang Han... all of the Lineage dev team. I'm sure I'm missing many people who have been involved in the project. I am new, and very much a latecomer to all of this.

by any chance will you consider adding signature spoofing support? that would be really great. it would help many users go for microG instead of gapps

No, but there are a few alternatives:
Merge the changes from this RFC and build it
Download the spoofer from https://download.lineage.microg.org/violet/, or get the (ed)Xposed module, or other possibilities...

As per OP: I'm waiting on both Android 10 firmware blobs + kernel to be released by Xiaomi... I'm not sure how the other ROM devs get around this, if it's easy to forward-port or not. But for now, only LOS 16.
Heyyo @hcnulma good to see you got your thread up and going!
As for 17.1? You can work with your current kernel and cherry-pick the fixes that other maintainers of violet are using and same for the device tree and vendor blobs.
As an example, LeEco msm8996 devives are using kernel source code from Marshmallow just rebased on a CAF Q Tag for our kernel since we never got anything newer...
Even once Xiaomi release their kernel source code for Android 10? It would probably take quite a bit of work to shave it down to what you specifically need and then importing it on top of a fresh CAF tag for the kernel or even more work to try and inplement it into uour current kernel.
To get official builds of LOS 16.0 going again for violet you would need to show that you are capable of fixing any major bugs that arise as well.
https://wiki.lineageos.org/submitting_device.html
anywho, hope this information helps bud!

From what I understand, using their kernel tree will mean I'll have to change a lot of references in my own device tree, and using their device tree on top of that is essentially just building PE, not Lineage.
In any case, I did find the Snapdragon 675 (ie sm6150) kernel trees for Q in several places, https://github.com/sm6150-dev/android_kernel_xiaomi_sm6150 and https://github.com/PixelExperience-Devices/kernel_xiaomi_sm6150. I'll take a closer look into this...
I did find the most recent CAF kernel under sm6150 here, but there seems to be an issue of this not showing up in /quic/la... Something will be resolved. Hopefully.

you won't have to make any changes in the kernel as far as I know and as for the device tree you just have to make some changes according to the ROM
as every ROM uses the same device tree
and you won't be making pe instead of lineage as the same device tree and kernel are used in every Q ROM except EvoX which uses crimson kernel

It is precisely the device tree that I'm worried about. From experience, PE has a lot of platform-specific stuff that Lineage doesn't (and the same the other way), and also from trying to figure out the fix to 16.0 I realised there's a lot of context/definition differences between the two device trees. I'd still give it a look, but I suspect it might be easier to just modify the current 16.0 device tree.

Yeah I already figured it was msm-4.14. Have already cloned it but am also considering cherrypicking changes that other devs have done to their kernel trees from 16.0 -> 17.1 as opposed to starting with the CAF kernel. A work in progress.
Sir I'm noob but mokee dev released android 10 and i think mokee and los are pretty same, will he not help you if you contact him?
An update on where I am:
I'm not sure whether to use the PE or Mokee vendor trees. Neither of them have much resemblance to 16.0 tree I have so cherry picking changes will be a nightmare.
The PE vendor tree has a lot of device-tree-specific commits, which will make it a headache to untangle later on. The Mokee vendor tree also has a lot of differing firmware files, though is a bit more similar to the LOS tree.
I'm doing a bit of experimentation to figure out which one will last better in the long run, since I can't seem to get my hands on any MIUI Android Q firmware blobs.

Here's the 17.1 ROM. Here's the md5 hash. Needless to say, it's very experimental, not stable in the least (expect to get past boot maybe 70% of the time) - I'm getting very mixed results when experimenting myself. Nevertheless, try it out, see what you get. Install it the same way as usual. Keen to get as many eyes on this as possible

Hi
Is ROM better than @ud4's 8.1.0 ROM? I currently have @ud4's and there an issue where some apps (like RedReader, Magisk Manager stable, Play Store, etc...) won't launch; they just show a blank screen. Does this ROM also have that issue?

Hi Red. I was taking a look at the ROM repository on GitHub, and saw that the default branch is now named cm-13.1. So, are you now working on an Android 6.0 ROM for the M5c?

I see. I would say that in the long run Lineage 14 would be more worthwhile, since Android 6.0 is becoming outdated, with no support for some apps. But really, I just wanted a ROM to replace Flyme, and its bugs. Also, many of the apps I use don't work, or don't work right on Flyme...
These days I was taking a look at /e/ OS. I've been thinking about venturing into porting this ROM to the M5c. For me it would be a challenge, since I've never done this before. But unfortunately at the moment I also don't have a PC that meets the requirements to compile the ROM

You are right. However, /e/ has some nice features like e account synchronization, an app store, microG, and some of their apps... Of course we could get that with LineageOS, but it is interesting how /e/ already brings that well integrated and ready.
By the way, I am also looking at other non-Android systems, like Ubuntu Touch...

Ah beautiful those non-android systems yes, unfortunately we have to forget them because of the prebuilt kernel and unavailable sources

Well, from what I've been reading the process is similar to porting LineageOS. You just need the kernel sources and the device specific binary blobs. I'm guessing you know how to get them, don't you?
And the interesting thing is that there is a layer, called Halium, that interacts directly with the hardware. And that is actually what you should port to the desired device. Then you can install any Linux system on top of this layer, like Ubuntu Touch, Plasma Mobile, etc, and these are distributed pre-compiled.

Mhh ... good, you are informed, however the vendor blobs are bull**** to take, the problem is the kernel sources but Meizu has not released them. However, some time ago I booted a Custom kernel based on ALPS (A custom AOSP from Mediatek to be clear) but the touchscreen doesn't work and I'm looking for a solution around but that I can't find
P.S: Fixing that kernel has great potential, forget android 7, you could also boot android 9 with sources, but as long as they are still working

I confess I didn't quite understand one thing: so how did you port LineageOS to this device? You didn't need the kernel sources?

At the time I was doing this lineage, I was with the prebuilt kernel, week ago I had done this kernel port to a twrp and the touch was not working so I left the device alone

Thanks for the clarification! It is a shame that Meizu does this (I wonder if they are not violating the terms of the Linux GPL license by distributing the kernel without publishing the modifications made to the source code).
Anyway, if a solution to this kernel problem related to the touch screen comes up, please let me know. In the meantime I'll keep reading Halium's documentation until a solution comes along, or until I get a compatible phone.
Great work!
Hello. I've been testing this ROM on my M5c and love it. The ROM is very good, fluid, lightweight... the only problem is that the camera doesn't work, as well as the cellular network data. Congratulations for the excellent work.
The ROM will no longer receive bugfixes?
pls compile
publish a release
