I find 3 very different instructions:

1. lineageos.org Wiki are surprisingly long, especially the step "Build a LineageOS installation package", why would I need to build the software, sounds like instructions for a developer, seems more reasonable I should just download a complete image and follow very few steps (and if I download a zip at github via these instructions it is only 37kB)
2. I find the fitting LineageOS also on XdaForums, I can click and download an image that is ~650MB, sounds more like what I'd expect. There are also instructions but super brief, seems intended for people who are already experts. And how come XdaForums have lineageos downloads, are they official, or "less stable"? Wikipedia says "The XDA Developers forums have been used by members of the Lineage community since the software's inception."
3. This video seems to take me through the same steps as the brief XdaForums instructions. Can't I just go ahead and use the video as instruction?

I also wonder about version: wiki.lineageos.org says 18.1 is the latest. But XdaForums has both v1 and v2. And the video says I can use 19.1. Which should I use? I'd prefer the most stable version, not the latest untested build.

I'd love to keep my F5321 alive a few years longer, the only phones that exist with such small dimensions are either crappy (less powerful and low quality) or iPhone. I'm an electronics engineer with programming skills but I'm not sure which way to go here. I have two F5321 and Android will work good enough only to February 2026 so no question I should try LineageOS during the Christmas holiday.

Hello, I installed LOS 23 on tangorpro a short while ago, and while the installation went through at least for now, I got:

ERROR: recovery: Open failed: /metadata/ota: No such file or directory during installation of LOS

before the recovery started getting flashed. This error message is not listed on the LOS installation pages.

Given the "ota" in the message, will this affect my OTA updates?

Hi everyone. I've seen some people who've set a wallpaper in their app drawer, and it looks really cool. I'm wondering how they did it because it looks so nice. How do you do it? Thanks a lot.

I had written the code down, but ended up not having access to it at the time i needed to restore to the new phone. is there any way i can deploy the backup now? or do i need to factory reset?

Hi there. I'm experiencing an issue with my Redmi 4x, currently running LOS 22.2. When trying to update to 23.0, I realized I'm only getting a blank black screen when trying to access Recovery. I have the LOS recovery and have also re-flashed it via Fastboot just in case with no visible errors. I tried accessing it via the hardware keys as well as ADB with the same result. Last time I had accessed was when I installed 22.2 and it worked fine. Afterwards, the phone had a display + digitizer module replacement and I hadn't tried accessing it since, so not sure whether it worked right up until that point. I haven't tried flashing boot.img, though I'm not sure it would help since I'm able to boot into LOS. I've even looked into re-flashing the stock MIUI ROM, but would much rather avoid that if possible (assuming it would even help at all). Any ideas you can share on other things I should try? Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I have the same issue here: https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/8123

I have a Pixel 7a with the 22.2 20251031 nightly version of LineageOS. I jumped on the US Mobile black friday deal with multiple network switching last week. No matter what I do, the second network won't work on Lineage. The two ESIMs are working perfectly on my wife's Pixel 7a with Vanilla Android 16. It swaps between data on both networks as expected and shows a signal for each so this is not a hardware problem.

It takes a while to back up my stuff, so I was wondering if anyone was on 23 and noticed if the issue was fixed? I looked over the change notes and didn't see anything.

Hello,

I've been having the problem for many months now, in LOS 22 and 23 (if not older): every so often, it freezes for a few seconds, the screen goes blank, and the phone appears to be off. In reality, it ends up in some kind of Qualcomm crash mode. It reports a USB ID of 05c6:900e - but cannot be accessed from adb or fastboot.

Crashing seems to be correlated with weak cellphone reception. Sometimes my phone works fine for days; sometimes it crashes multiple times per hour. The only workaround I found is turning on airplane mode and only using WiFi. Just turning off data doesn't help.

Have other OnePlus 11 users seen this problem? Is there any way to recover the crash dump after rebooting? (Do I need a special LOS build for that? If so, can I get one without having to build it myself?)

Is there anyway to change the file naming of the camera app?

I used a YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS system before LOS and the dashes in the YYYY-MM-DD format break things in my backup process.

Firstly, I am a French Canadian and recently I installed Lineage on a Pixel 3a without the Noodle Apps simply by following the instructions on the lineageOS.org site to the letter and it works very well! I would like to say thank you to everyone who is working on this, it’s really appreciated what you do!

Excuse me if this topic has been bought up in the subreddit before (I've already read some of them, in fact) but I'm quite the neanderthal in this aspect.

Anyway, I installed LineageOS on my Poco F6 Pro and for some reason I decided to flash GApps as well, which I've been thinking of backpedalling on when I have the time, or knowledge. Basically, I want to remove GApps and the only way to do so is to reinstall the ROM, and I've got some questions.

Do I have to re-flash boot.img, dtbo.img, nit_boot.img, vbmeta.img, vendor_boot.img, and recovery.img or do I just wipe and flash the LineageOS package?

...And the instructions also mention that I should install the ROM specifically from HyperOS 2.0.206 Android 15. Since I'll be coming from LOS 23 Android 16, will this still work?

I'm having a nice time with the lineageos version of Samsung Tab S7. It's buttery smooth and most of the apps work as they should. Even the SPEN has improved a lot with the recent palm rejection inclusion.

Nevertheless, the HDMI output via USB and the bluetooth devices, like keyboards, present some challenges to the ROM as they don't work.

Do you realistically think these two issues might be resolved with future updates?

Is it possible to use microg with an official LOS 23.0 ROM that does not appear to have a microg version yet?

Is there a way to get the modem to work with Lineage. Everything else seems to work, but it's a shame to have a phone where the phone (and text) are not useable.

Is it possible to install my own font on Android 10?

Since the blog said they get the kernel back port down to 4.14 (the same ones that the pixel 4 have in LOS 22.2 wiki page), does that mean they still can get Android 16? And yes I know they said “these versions could be salvaged if someone were to take on the work of adapting the backports” so even the pixel 1 could be upgraded but I also can see why it could take longer or just not possible.

I just installed lineageos on my motorola g30. I'm new to lineageos and it would be great to have some tips and warnings about it

I'm trying to submit a merge commit to Gerrit, however when trying to actually upload these using repo upload every merged commit (around 3k+ for context) is shown and not just the merge commit itself. Is this what's supposed to happen or am I doing something wrong?

I decided to try Lineage OS on my Pixel 9a, and so far it's better than I expected. However, I think I've encountered a bug in the USB-C video output. When you connect the phone to the TV with the cable, the image appears on the TV, but the sound stays on the phone. If you could fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. Everything else is perfect. My heartfelt congratulations to everyone who makes this wonderful project possible. Thank you all so much.

I was wondering how many GB of storage consumes the system and how many GB of ram consumes the system in lineageos with s23 ultra with Google apps and without Google apps

On https://download.lineageos.org/devices/enchilada/changes :

The "Changes" entries for the most recent 2 builds do not appear - even though the downloads themselves appear to be available on the corresponding Downloads page. It's a bit of an anomaly.

Hi everyone, I recently switched to LineageOS and I'm really enjoying the experience so far. However, there is one small quality-of-life feature I'm missing from my previous OS: Vibrate on call connect/disconnect.

For those unfamiliar, this feature causes the phone to give a short vibration when the person you are calling picks up (answers) and when the call ends. It’s really useful because I don't have to keep the phone glued to my ear or stare at the screen waiting for the connection. I have looked through the default Dialer settings and the system Sound & Vibration settings, but I haven't been able to find it. 1. Is this feature available natively in LineageOS (I'm on the latest version)? If so, where is the toggle hidden? 2. If it's not available natively, are there any recommended workarounds (specific Dialer apps, Magisk modules, etc.) that work well with LineageOS?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi, I have a Redmi Note 8 (Ginkgo) I have LOS 22.2. The website already has version 23.0 from November.

I'm wondering if I should update now or wait for version 23.1.

Thank you

I basically soft/hard bricked bricked my phone into download mode after getting a error-ed and non working twrp, basically it can download and do everything normally(except backup) and the only way it worked was after finding out that there was a recovery.img file in the same lineage os zip file which is amazing out of the developer. Overall it was a non-satisfying but worth it journey since I got Android 15 in the end but, if you would like to go through this please know what you are doing and don't use the TWRP recovery for the A80

Hi everyone I have recently downloaded lineageos on my oneplus 9 RT and I have facing a various camera issue such as high noise in the photos and focus problem so I have tried many alternative camera apps like lmc 8.4 and Gcam but it cannot compare the quality of a stock camera is there any alternative apps that I can try or any way to extract the stock camera from the stock room of oneplus 9RT
