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 our Gerrit Code Review.
These are WIP builds of porting LineageOS 14.1 to the Droid Bionic (and also other devices using the same device/motorola/omap4-common-infrastructure). They probably won't work, so don't expect too much. Use on your own risk!
Builds:
Current official builds:
https://download.lineageos.org/targa (Droid Bionic)
(When migrating from Lineage unofficial, flash this first (manually mount /data in TWRP before flashing and unmount it afterwards) and then directly flash the new image without rebooting)
Su addon for official builds: [url]http://droid.cs.fau.de/lineage-14.1/addonsu/[/url] (The official addon doesn't currently install on Omap4)
Manual beta builds:
http://droid.cs.fau.de/lineage-14.1/
Changes (only device/family specific, CM base is always synced before build and contains more changes):
2017-06-10:
Hotspot fixed
Security updates
CM base updated
Last build before enabling official builds
2017-05-15:
Security updates
CM base updated
2017-04-11:
Fixed mobile data on Verizon
2017-04-05:
DRM playback fixed
2017-04-04:
Camcorder working, thanks to @Android-Andi (thumbnail picture is still wrong, but recorded video seems fine). This probably also fixed other media-related issues.
CM base updated
2016-11-27:
CM base updated
2016-11-13:
SELinux is enforcing
PackageInstaller works on ext3-based userdata again
2016-11-05:
First build
What's working:
Phone (tested on Verizon and on GSM/UMTS in Europe)
Mobile data
WiFi
GPS
Camera
Video recording
Reboot to recovery
Playback of DRM-protected content
What's not working:
Probably most everything else, including, but not limited to:
HDMI
Data encryption (investigating, needs new unreleased safestrap)
Gapps:
OpenGApps
If you install Gapps after the ROM has been booted for the first time you either need to wipe data or manually delete /data/system/users/0/runtime-permissions.xml and reboot. Without this Gapps will crash constantly. This is due to a new permissions-system introduced in Marshmallow.
Installation:
You need a recovery supporting SELinux
A version of Safestrap (3.75) which supports SELinux can be found here: [url]https://github.com/stargo/android_packages_apps_Safestrap/releases/tag/v3.75[/URL]
A newer version of safestrap which will format userdata as ext4 will be released shortly. You can also just reformat userdata to ext4 in the old Safestrap for now.
Please read the instructions on how to install this version and follow the order of the steps in it.
GSM users:
These versions (both unofficial and official) automatically switch to GSM/UMTS without installing additional patches.

I've been using Lineage 14.1 on my Bionic since early May and have been using my Bionic as my daily-driver smartphone with Lineage since the end of June.
The only minor bug I'm finding, and I'm not sure if this is an omap4 device issue or if this is generally how it is on LineageOS no matter what, but the cell carrier isn't showing up as Verizon on mine.
instead, it shows up as "USA-480" pointing to the MNC and possibly not decoding it properly? APN listing is proper. data/phone/4G-LTE all work flawlessly so I'm under the impression this is just a bug someplace, however Data Usage from the status bar pull-down does say "No Service" no matter what.
Other than this and the memory leak which I believe to have been fixed now in the 0707 nightly, I haven't noticed anything that would disrupt usage.
Current Root add-on from the LineageOS Site at https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/su/addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip DOES install on omap4 properly, contrary to the information above.
install via Safestrap TWRP normally.
My recommendation to anyone using this ROM on their Bionic is to make sure you have at least a 32GB MicroSD card installed for storage as onboard storage is slightly limited with safestrap ROM slot partitions the way they are, and if you haven't acquired one already, get one of the third-party 4000mAh extended battery packs with the extended cover. this adds bulk but also makes the phone easier to hold in the hand, aside from some extra juice to make the most of your Nougat-running Bionic for longer.

A bug I've noticed with in the 20170728 ROM and before, if I leave my phone on and use it normally for about a week, it gets to the point that saved images from apps like Discord or pictures taken through either the normal Camera app or OpenCamera are no longer seen in the filesystem until the phone has been rebooted.
Likewise, a bug since the end of May or thereabouts for me has been images in the camera folders (be it OpenCamera or the regular Camera app) tend to show up as 0kb files when accessing the phone in MTP transfer mode. it makes it hard for me as I then have to boot into Safestrap to get pictures off my phone in any reasonable amount of time or quantity.

I've moved on but cannot believe there are ROMs still for bionic

Me too. I've moved on as well many years ago. I really miss my droid bionic. I had it rooted, safestrapped and with all the best roms at the time. I didnt' go pass Ice Cream Sandwich. But when I I moved on to Note 3 I didnt look back. I just un rooted my bionic and moved it over to Jelly bean 4.12. But I'm happy to see as well, that there some users still on there and Roms still coming out.

Crossposting this from the Razr/MAXX thread since this is vital information that will save users on Verizon a lot of headaches:
Sudosftw said:
Something I noticed I'm passing along for the sake of the thread, if anyone on Verizon puts their phone in CDMA Auto (PRL) mode and not LTE/CDMA Auto (PRL) mode in the phone testing menu, the data connection immediately becomes a LOT more stable. You're stuck on 3G for data, but the upside is that the data connection no longer cuts out as it moves from 3G/4G/1X/etc. depending on coverage. 3G/1X switching is immediate and works perfectly, but 3G/4G switching seems to do something terrible that makes the connection unstable and causes the "No Service" deal.
4G mode still shows USA-480 instead of Verizon Wireless as the ERI, and that still to this day a year later confuses me. with 3G/1X it ALWAYS shows as Verizon Wireless and connection information shows correct.
I'm going to be crossposting this information in the Bionic and Droid 4 threads as well to help since this is definitely a platform-wide issue. I popped my sim card into my Droid 4 and got the same results.

Support has ended.
LineageOS no longer officially supports this device.
You are now officially on your own.
You can find the final builds here: http://droid.cs.fau.de/Official_Lineage_Builds/
or here (MEGA Mirror)
These directories include the ROM files, addonsu package for 14.1, and the weather provider APK if needed.
I'm expecting this information to hit the OP post very soon.
It was a good run. These phones lasted many more years than they were intended to in the wild, and with Verizon killing 3G support for non-VoLTE devices later this year, they will become useless in the United States on their network. They are likely already useless on most others. Their time is up. I suggest anyone at all still holding on with one of these as a daily driver to consider your upgrades very very soon.
Goodbye Moto.

Still in early stages, but I'm already running it since a few days without any major issues. Just for your information, I have flashed Open GApps package.

Will try tonight Currently I'm running CM12.1
Do you know if there will be official nightlies build soon?

Verizon M8 also compatible as long as we have LP firmware?

Flashed and running.
Only problem is when changing DPI. Somethin is not aligned correctly. Switch buttons in settings for icons in message popup. But nothing dramatic till now.
Q: If there will be new builds, ho to see them?

Sorry, but this rom is for the international variant, with dual sim. Extra .lib files and slightly different tree structure for the extra sim.

Today I have some problems with receiving/rejecting calls. Phone was ringing, but I could't reject or accept call
Also I had problem with connection with DATA after disconnecting from WiFi. Restart helps in this case.
Anyway thanks for that ROM.
If I should test something, let me know and I will do my best.

Nightlies will start from this moment on!

Perfect, I can't wait.
REPORT:
- Sometimes I had problem that I can't cancel phone call. But I'm cancel only couple calls... Have to try if it is more often.
- Dot view case sometimes stop locking screen. Only solution is reboot phone. Then is work for couple days OK.

I wa looking for nightlies here:
http://www.cmxlog.com/13/
But I found it only here:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=m8d

The first link is for unofficial CM changelog. The second is the official CM download page, in particular for m8d.
By the way, I don't recommend the first nightly because it seems that some entries in Settings are broken (affecting all devices). A fix was already applied and the next nightly will be okay.

Good advice. The first nightly does flash and boot, but many settings force close on opening. I have returned to 12.1 for now

I made dirty flash yesterday and didn't try settings. But I can confimr build 05.12.2015 have settings FC. Will inform about next build today evening.

Clean flash, pico Gapps, and so far all is working as it should. Thanks for the great work!

Dirty flash (as advised in cyanogenmod blog) along with 6.0 open gapps, and all working nicely with the 6 Dec build.
A few apps need storage settings changing to deal with the new way android uses sd cards, but that's not hard.
One or two oddities - like what happened to separate ring tones for each SIM? I suppose that some multi SIM features are yet to come?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 dual sim using XDA Free mobile app

Not only MSIM features, but many other features that were previously on cm-12.1. There is still a lot of things to bringup.

Flashing Instructions (Requires TWRP (see other Thread(s) for that)):
Learn these instructions by heart
Incase I manage to make a TWRP for LOS (will be seperate thread then) follow instructions there, not here
Make a backup of EVERYTHING on your internal storage you dont wanna lose
Boot TWRP
Make backups -> Copy them to a PC or similar
Copy Lineage zip to internal storage (if encrypted -> format data first)
Tap Install -> Select LineageOS zip
Swipe to flash
Go to reboot menu -> Select opposite Slot (if youre on A, select B, and vice versa)
Reboot recovery
Now in Lineage Recovery:
Factory reset (sets up metadata encryption properly)
-----Optional, Gapps/Magisk------
Apply Update -> From ADB
On PC via Terminal/Powershell/Commandline:
adb sideload path/to/gapps.zip
adb sideload path/to/Magisk.zip
adb sideload path/to/some/other/mod.zip
-----End Optional-----
Reboot system now
First boot, especially with Gapps, takes a while

Reporting Bugs
DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab dmesg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless). Also dump /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/pstore and attach that
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues.

- Initial release

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Can this ROM be flashed through TWRP?
A. Yes, proceed with the latest TWRP image
Q. Sounds good. How can I contribute to project?
A. Test the build as much as you can and report bugs which can be reproduced with exact steps and are not random.
Q. How to disable "Apps running in background" dialog?
A. When you see the dialog, long press on it and select "Settings". From there, you'll have a toggle to disable it.
Q. Which Models of the V50 are supported?
A. flashlmdd works on V500EM/V500N, and flashlm works on the NA V450 variants, but not all have been tested there yet.

And another one...

Before following the flashing instructions, flash all the stock 10 partitions onto slot b, including the stock abl and xbls. If you have a variant with kdzs available, you can just do this in lgup with partition dl. You have to do this because most of you probably have the engineering abl (along with all other pie partitions) on slot b right now, and that will not work with lineage. If you have it on slot a, you instead need to flash Android 10 on slot a, and then switch to that to do the installation.

Thanks for the contribution!

Great work Markus!

Just a heads up 5G at least on the Sprint variant is not working. I have sent logs to Markus but so far no luck with getting 5G working.

Great work!!
Can V50S Korean Version(V510N) or G8X American Version(G850U) use this rom?

Yeah, more than it telling me "5G signal stength changed" i cant test... maybe in a few months (thats what the support guy of my carrier said when i should ask again) that they add an optional "package" to book that enables 5G (and yeah, 60€/month is kinda a bit too expensive for me for just testing this). But usually (atleast what i heard from other people) theres no need for doing anything additional to make it work, idk whats going on on your device :/

I posted the 5G issue namely in hopes maybe someone who is more active on XDA might be able to help out more on the issue. Maybe perhaps there's other ways to figure out what is going on with 5G on my device beyond just logs?

Hello everyone, I have LG V50 Sprint version (Network Locked) and is this ROM compatible with it? Can I root it (V450PM)?
Also, will it work on other GSM networks after flashing this ROM?
Thank you.

Thanks, this ROM has been successfully flashed

Ok, so far, this release is stable and very snappy. No bluetooth and no cell service yet but everything works for the most part. Also tested Magisk and that works too. I wasn't able to get the battery percentage to show in the status bar. I also found Gapps for this rom, by BitGapps. Very minimal though. However, apps from the Play Store are not installing. Maybe it's just me or a rom issue, but I wasn't able to install anything from the PS as of yet.

Maybe there is an Android version that is the most successful (progressive). Maybe it's worth focusing on it to integrate the native SenseHome shell. Or is it impossible?
I have already switched to LineageOS and back to stock firmware M8 several times. Now version 19.1 is installed, but I'm thinking of going back to Sense again.
NFC does not work in version 19.1. Problems with calls. And Wi-Fi catches the signal worse than the original firmware.

Hi Tarkzim thanks for bringing Android 13 to my M8
Have installed the dec 11 build, runs fine but the keyboard hangs for about a second rather frequently. Have wiped system and cache before installing.

Posting this in the hope that someone finds it helpful. I tested this ROM on a m8_wlv, Hboot 3.19, OS 6.21.605
I can confirm the following:
Calls, SMS and Mobile data work
Phone isn't constantly warm like on the 12 ROM
Phone charges and drains normally
Camera, Wifi, Audio, Video and USB OTG work
GPS works
Multicast DNS (mDNS) address reolution works!
Bluetooth is broken
Occasional display glitches and 'Systemui has stopped' errors
Screenshots:

Have replaced the ROM keyboard with Swiftkey (version 7.1.4.19). That seems to work fine.
It feels the ROM is stable and good enough to start using on a daily basis, were it not for the permissive Selinux. Any chance of changing that into enforcing?

hey! do you think i can install this on Htc one m8 Eye?

Even with this brand new build, I get the dreaded "e1001 failed to update system image"
I flashed the `sense-firmware-img_0p6bimg.zip` firmware image, and reinstalled `twrp-3.7.0_9-0-m8.img`
Is there something else that's needed before I can actually install the latest lineageOS ROM?

I have tried out this ROM and it works better than the stable Android 12 ROM due to it being snappy as soon as I power it on, meanwhile with the 12, it would be very slow when powered on and I would have to wait a bit for the phone to be snappy.
The only issues with this ROM are of course the issues mentioned above such as Bluetooth being broken, Visual glitches and it freezing for a couple of seconds every time which is highly annoying and made me roll back to the 12 ROM.
But all in all, I can't wait for this ROM to be stable at some point! Thanks for the work that you are putting in @tarkzim !

How did you reflash to have the right partition?

The rom is having charging issues for me, my poor htc gets very hot

New build released
Updated to Android 13.0.0_r35 with March security patches.

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.
What's working?
Audio
Calls
Wifi
Hotspot
Mobile data
GPS
Bluetooth
Fingerprint
Hardware composer
OpenMAX (hardware encoding/decoding)
Camera (photos + recording)
NFC
Sensors
Vibration
Double tap to wake
Always on display
What's broken?
FDE (full disk encryption) has been fully deprecated in android 13
Network traffic monitoring
Sepolicy is permissive
Supported variants
All variants of Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017). Dual SIM is also supported.
How to install
Make sure you had Samsung's Oreo firmware bootloader and modem before installing this.
Make sure you are using the latest official TWRP version.
Download the lineage build and optionally google apps.
In TWRP format data (if you still have stock rom encryption).
In TWRP wipe data and cache.
Flash LineageOS.
Optional: Flash Google apps (rightafter).
Reboot.
It's okay to dirty flash new updates.

FAQ
Help my sim doesn't work
Please read the installation instructions more carefully. Oreo firmware bootloader and modem is a must.
You can find the collection along with the guide in this xda thread.
I'm sometimes having crackling sound when listening to music
Turn off 'ok google now' functionality in google app settings. If you have troubles finding it you can as well go to settings>apps, find app called 'google' and disable microphone permission.
Does this rom support VoLTE?
No. And it likely won't in the near future. Samsung's exynos VoLTE implementation is proprietary and non-standard. It is not possible on AOSP based roms for the time being.
I have weird issues with camera (wrong resolution, issues with flash etc.)
Тhis could very well be an issue with the included camera app. Try a third party camera app.
Will you fix the bugs? Will this version ever go official?
I've already fixed everything I was able to. The main drawback is that our linux kernel 3.18 has become too old. Our devices starting showing their age. Because of this version will not go official.
My hardware keys light up whenever I touch the screen
Navigate to Settings->System->Buttons->Backlight and tick 'Illuminate buttons only when pressed'. You might want to reduce time on the scaler to 1 second, too.
How to switch to full screen gestures
1. Navigate to Settings->System->Buttons->Backlight and tick 'Enable on-screen nav bar'.
2. Navigate to Settings->System->Gestures->System navigation and tick 'Gesture navigation'.
I need help with google camera
Please see this xda post.
Help! I have problems with my bank app/my device is failing SafetyNet.
Try following this guide by Simon1511.

Nice to see this out, great work

Great job as always.

im glad there's still hope for a little bit of support for our rusty device
i know this is pretty ridiculous at this point but i really hope this become another galaxy s2 situation where despite how old the device is.. it still get more and more versions despite its age

Yea, but the S2 is more of a tinkerers device at this point, A5 is still usuable (at least on A11, broke my screen before I could test 12 :C)

Possible update with simple TWRP install (wo delete data) from 19.1 Unofficial? (I think yes.)

Very nice rom ....smoot and stable

Which one is better LineageOS 19 or LineageOS 20? Which one is more stable for daily use? Or is just LineageOS 18 stable enough for daily use for now?

How is the battery consumption?How is the camera?

I also think yes, but no one has tested this already. Note that you would surely need to reflash the same gapps package you were using before right after the new version flash.

I can't tell this for certain. It totally depends on your usecase and preferences. There aren't any unresolved bugs coming from previous versions (other than mentioned). Some people say however that the rom runs slower than the previous versions, especially with gapps. For me personally it was still ok.

Not worse than before with lineage at least. For what it's worth, there is actually a new lineage camera app now. And we were getting some good battery life results during the testing.

thanks for the update.

What does Network traffic monitoring do? I switch off Mobile data and WIFI for many apps in the app settings. Without Network traffic monitoring, does it mean that separate app Mobile data and WIFI switching off will not work reliably? Or is it completely unrelated?

I focused mainly on fixing rom bugs, so I haven't had much time to investigate the google apps situation.
But yeah they exist. They can be found using the link in the thread.
Flamegapps, Nikgapps and perhaps a several others are there for android 13 already.

I believe that is unrelated. It is literally broken monitoring.

network monitor does not work

backup doesn't work properly

why is the battery mah 3600?

nikgapps go doesn't work properly

issues :
using qr scan notification panel causes settings to crash, HDCP checking causes minor lag, SRGB doesn't work , network monitor does not work, nikgapps go doesn't work properly, backup doesn't work properly

Installation guide:
Spoiler: Using Lineage recovery
1. Recommended Samsung firmware version is A705FNXXU5DVK6, but it will work on slightly older versions too.Make sure that the bootloader is unlocked.--
2. Boot the phone into download mode. Flash Lineage recovery through AP button in Odin.Download here. Note: Use TWRP at your own risk! It does not properly support new A13 roms with the latest changes.
Use Lineage recovery for the best experience, otherwise don't complain if your phone bootloops.
--
3. Boot into recovery (Vol+ and Power while USB is plugged into PC) Note: Samsung's OneUI wipes the custom recovery partition and possibly vbmeta while booting so try not to reboot into Android.
--
4. Format data and system in the recovery--
5. Flash the rom in "Apply update" menu. There are 2 ways to install:
On the phone: Copy the zip to a FAT32-formatted microSD card and install it in recovery.
With a PC: Use Minimal ADB on Windows. Open "cmd-here" and type
Code:
adb sideload <rom-file>
where <rom-file> is the filename (drag-and-drop the zip file into cmd window).
--
6. (Optional) Flash add-ons such as Google apps or Magisk in the same way that you flashed the rom.We now have a working ramdisk so newest Magisk works fine ^^
--
7. Reboot and enjoy

Build date: 19.06.2023

Screen off fingerprint not working even after enabling it from settings. However, to lineageos 19.1, it was working as expected.

Will look into that, thanks for reporting. You can use DT2W or raise to wake in the meantime
Edit: fixed as of 20221126

Still downloading hope no sleep of death

all good on the a70 (sm-a705mn) for now
thanks for the rom

Great work as always, thanks a lot

New update is now available, with Screen off FOD fixed (make sure you enable it in settings). You might also find that Always on display is turned on by default, it can be turned off with a quick settings tile. You also can update through settings app on the phone.
For OTA updates I recommend Lineage recovery and, if you need root, Lygisk. Don't report bugs with updates if you use Magisk.

Is volte working in this rom?

Don't expect VoLTE on _any_ rom for a samsung phone, there is no implementation in AOSP. Official devices lack it too. No developer has bothered to do volte so far (and probably won't unless there's a good reason). Other than that, we're pretty much as bugless as we can get currently.

Thanks, due to needing Volte for calls and texts, now that 3g is shut down, looks like im stuck using stock.

Apart from that, only thing you could do is use OneUI mods.. volte might happen one day if someone takes the time to reverse engineer it but so far we're out of luck. This is a problem on every samsung device on AOSP, and with other makes, YMMV.

It modded with magisk and safety net pass. Debloated and such. I really like los though.

Personally I'd say los is a great experience as long as 3G calls are not a problem, I use it on my daily phone which has no volte either, but at least is maintained officially
(Also in many countries 3G is shut down before 2G so I'm pretty sure 2G can still be used in those)

How to make dual sim work?

Works out of the box if you haven't messed with the efs partition and did a clean flash. You can also try 19.1 just in case.

vendor needs to update

Why? Even the security patch wasn't bumped. It's not so urgent, it was literally released today.

muito obrigado, A70 é muito mais rápido comparado ao LOS 19.1, você tem uma recomendação de kernel?

Use the lineage kernel, it's most stable and has good performance too. Older "mod" kernels will not work with android 13

My phone can't detect sim 2 on OTA builds but in the older builds it does. A705MN/DS.
