[DISCONTINUED][ROM][9.0][SM-A730F] Lightheart OS [30/10/2020] - Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie

Lightheart 1.0 - The key to speed.​
Hi everyone. My name is Skulldron and for those of you who do recognise me, know me as the creator of Project Pixel, another one of the greatest ways to emulate the Pixel Experience, whilst keeping all the benefits of using OneUI and its stock optimized drivers as its base. Today I'm going to introduce something, different. Over the years of working on Touchwiz based ROMs, I've learnt the description of every little apk, every little permission, what it accepts and what it rejects, its pros and its cons. As a result of this experience, I have one of the best debloat lists out there, with each item on the debloat list, being tested, through extensive testing, and it goes over every file and every partition known in the OneUI OS. This exact same debloat script was used in Project Pixel, which has received positive review after positive review for how efficient and how lightweight OneUI became after the debloat. Today however, I present to you Lightheart OS, a new project that I will be building myself and updating monthly. Today I showcase Lionheart, the Lineage OS to my Cyanogenmod.
Key Features:
1. Heavily Debloated System: The debloat script that was made by me, has over 250+ debloated permissions, apks and other files.
2. Better Battery Performance due to Efficiency - With the removal of an incredible amount of bloat, along with better performance and lesser services, you should be looking at better SOTs and better standby times.
3. Kernel Power Control: With MTweaks and Magisk, you will be able to control your device’s clock speed and be able to force higher GPU and CPU Clock, when doing more intensive tasks such as gaming.
4. Better Kernel Performance - Due to the deepness of the debloat, the kernel now has more RAM and more space to be more efficient and allow it to focus on less threads at once.
5. Current October Patch with the promise of updates every month - Every month an update is released, the ROM will be updated along with it, with a time frame of 1-2 weeks.
6. Restored some stock Google Permissions - Some stock google framework was restored, such as the default setup wizard.
7. All Essential Samsung Features have been kept - All essential OneUI features have been kept alive, for the sole purpose of necessity.
8. Completely Deknoxed -The ROM has been Deknoxed and FRP lock measures have been disabled
9. VoLTE Supported
Individual Features:
1. AdAway
2. Eleven Music
3. Files GO
4. GBoard
5. Android Pie AOSP Emojis
6. Lightheart X Boot Animation
7. AOSP System Sounds
8. Samsung Gallery (Stripped Down and lightened to improve performance)
9. Samsung's Stock Camera with HDR parameter changes, debloated and additional video modes
10. SystemUI Tuner (Provides battery stats along with other useful customizations - Check QS icons and add it to QS Panel to view)
11. YouTube Vanced (Ad-free Youtube)
12. Mtweaks (Has Hardware Control - Similar to Kernel Adiutor but more tailored to Exynos)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: (Backup everything, including contacts etc.)
1. Download the zip and download the latest Magisk (ROM will not boot if Magisk is not flashed due to encryption procedures)
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache
3. Flash the zip and flash Magisk.
Notes:
- To view Battery Stats and Storage, pull down the Quick Settings Panel and on the top right click the three bubbles button and then Button Order. Then move the new Battery and Storage icon to the Quick Settings.
- Set Trebuchet as default launcher, for better battery savings. OneUI Home was only included for its app switcher.
Changelog:
1.0 - Initial Release
If changes are made, they will be highlighted in the next post.

Hi,
You've done a wonderful job thank you so much for that. All good except that VOLTE is not working. Does this ROM support Volte or not.
Thanks once again.

I don't believe it is supported but regardless, this ROM is now sadly discontinued, due to a lack of time and due to the fact that I no longer have time, nor own the device thus making my job that little bit harder. Thankyou everyone for using it though, and hope you find a better one. Link to the ROM will be left up however, for whoever needs it.

[ROM] [UB] Updated February 9, Jaguar Amami LP5.1.1 Hardened Official HyperTool 5.4

This is the Official Jaguar rom for Amami, which is based on AOSP with some flavors from Slim and Dirtyunicorn. The main difference from other roms is the emphasis on security and multiple features. With that in mind , let's see what Jaguar has to offer:
1. Hardened Kernel, modified M5 built with UBERTC 6.0; hardened rom built with HYPERTOOL 5.4
2. All ciphers enabled in kernel instead of just a few
3. Hardened/Fortified Bionic and Libs
4. Fstack protection strong to resist buffer overflows
5. Many System apps and processes are made read-only, to reduce elevation of privilege
6. Selinux replaced with Tomoyo Security, Yam security
7. Disc encryption, keymaster to 256 bit AES instead of 128
8. Latest TWRP with working brightness and ability to decrypt Data
9. Random number generation mixed hardware/software, as recommended by Linus Torwalds
10. Options to randomize host on every boot
11. Option to have a separate password for lock screen and boot
12. Qualcomm's Time Services disabled due to leaking on early boot (set time to automatic to get it from your carrier). Forget it. The rom now includes Sony TimeKeep that sets the time locally
13. WIFI Background Scanning disabled to prevent leaking
14. Internet disabled for both WIFI and Data until Afwall is set and activiated (Afwall included in download, install as regular app)
15. The phone is VOLTE ready and you have all network options available in Cell menu (not just LTE/WCDMA/GSM)
16. GRsecurity features, such as Sidechannel implemented
17. Some Pax Security Features
18. Option to deny USB connection: denied always; denied when locked; and allowed always
19. Hardened webview with Google and other "interesting" IPs removed
20. Prevention of bruteforcing screen pin: the phone will reboot upon 3 unsuccessful attempts
21. Perfect_Event_Paranoid ported from Grsecurity: now third party apps can't use other apps including system to elevate privileges
22. Camera hardware button works to focus, take pictures and start video recording
23. Option to disable writing to Tombstones (a lot of private info is dumped there if there is a crash)
24. Option to disable continuing writing of logcat
25. Option to disable device cameras: back; front, both or none
26. Always latest Google Security Patches
27. Always latest Code Aurora Security Patches
28. Changes ported directly from Google Android Gerrit, so most of those in MM and even N are in this rom
29. About 80% of kernel changes are ported into Jaguar kernel from 3.10 and 3.18 (not Sony AOSP 3.10 that has Down Syndrome, but Linux/Google/Code Aurora one)
30. Rom is odexed to significantly increase boot speed (under 30 seconds) and application start
31. Many more security features ported from Linux and Copperhead OS
32. Dns Crypt: a feature allowing to choose among many Dns providers (all encrypted)
33. Seccomp: secure computing enabled in kernel
Other features include: Layers Theme Engine; Native Call Recording with interface integrated in Dialer with no restrictions; Privacy Guard; Native Wakelock Blocker; Native Black List; Global Menu; Slim Recents; Traffic Indicators; Advanced Reboot; Slim Pie; CPU Info on Screen; Ram Bar in Recents; Supersu included and integrated in Settings; True Offline Charging with Screen Off; Kernel Adiutor included (unzip and install as a normal app) and integrated in Settings; FM Radio and Recording plus more
Things users need to know to have smooth experience:. These are not bugs, but rather an explanation of some features
1. If you want to do data encryption, keep in mind that unlike Android, Jaguar uses 256 bit encryption. If you were encrypted on other roms, you won't be able to decrypt. So, wipe encryption and then re-encrypt on Jaguar. Also, keep in mind that if you ever did factory reset on official TWRP 3+ for honami, your data partition is screwed and have to be resized to enable encryption. This has nothing to do with the rom, but rather with the official TWRP itself. Fastboot my unofficial TWRP 3.0.2, which, by the way has working brightness, as well as ability to decrypt and mount data
2. Jaguar contains a script running on early boot, which cuts the internet access to both WIFI and Data until Afwall is running. This is done to prevent leaking, as well as having all your internet traffic routed through some interesting number of servers, including this IP: 26.147.196.22. So, install Afwall and activate it, otherwise, no Internet for you
3. If your system language is different from English and you want to make changes in Phone/Cell Network settings, switch to English first, make the changes and then return to your language. The changes you made will hold. If you try to make the changes in your language, you will have com.android.phone crash. Localization takes time and is virtually impossible to implement in Jaguar, which is a one-person-rom
4. TimeKeep is ported from MM/N. Now time is set locally without the Internet or GSM signal. You need to set it once only and then TimeKeep will keep it current on each reboot, even if Airplane mode.
5. GAPPS: in order to escape f/c, you need to flash GAPPS right after the rom without reboot. If you reboot, you will have problems.
6. If you came from Kitkat directly to a custom LP (without having stock LP at least once), you might experience problems with hardware: gps/wifi irregularites. This applies to any custom rom above Kitkat. To remedy this, flash unmodified Sony stock LP 5.1.1, boot the phone and let it settle. Then you can reboot into fastboot and flash TWRP recovery. Then you can flash Jaguar
Download: All updates and change logs are in Post #3 now
Instructions:
1. You must have flashed and booted stock LP 5.1.1 once to upgrade your hardware (see explanation above)
2 Have TWRP (fastboot my unofficial version), unlocked bootloader and root
3. In TWRP, wipe data/factory reset, then wipe System/Data/Cache/Dalvik
4. Flash the rom
5. If you use xposed, flash the latest installer (As of October 2016 no longer works due to multiple implementations from Nougat)
6. Reboot, install Afwall and Kernel Adiutor as normal apps; activate Afwall to have Internet
7. Enjoy the rom, say thank you, donate or do both
Warning: If your device and/or anyone in the immediate vicinity dies, don't blame me: it is all China and Russia's fault. :laugh:

I broke my Z1 screen again and I am not in the mood for after market screens. And I am sick and tired of Sony crappy treatment of development community.
I am now looking at Lenovo Zuk Z2 or Z2 pro. Both excellent phones with the latest CPU and made out of metal and glass by Motorola which they bought from Google a couple of years ago. Zuk is friendly to developers and their blobs don't dumb down camera and they don't seek to "unify" bugs for all their devices. I no longer wish to support a fat bastard corporation that can't make a good phone, but thinks that just by putting their logo on the phone would make it worth $700.
RE Jaguar. I will continue to maintain Jaguar mainly with security patches... for a while, but my main work will be concentrated on Zuk. There is a lot of work to be done cleaning Android N and implementing security and other features from Jaguar...

February 9. New release:
1. February Security patches
2. DNS_Crypt (in settings/security)
3. Seccomp (secure computing implemented in kernel)
4. Open Source Superuser integrated
5. Silent SMS notification enabled
6. 1440p profile in camcorder added
7. Sony TimeKeep: now time is set locally without the Internet or GSM signal (you need to set it right the first time only)
8. Updated TWRP that now works with TimeKeep
If you enable Dnscrypt and you use Afwall, allow internet for apps running as root...
If you prefer closed source Supersu, just flash the zip...

______________________________________________________
January 12: Updated release that includes a fully working NFC-HCE for Android Pay. It may be possible to bypass Safety Net by deleting Superuser or Supersu with su binary, as Lollipop doesn't have dm verity. Although, if the check includes bootloader status, you may be out of luck.
You may flash dirty on top of the previous Jaguar release.

You can flash on top of the previous release. Otherwise, read the OP (fresh install).

December 10. Rom updated to include:
1. December security patches
2. Signature spoofing (like in Omniroms)
3. USSD fixed (maybe)
Download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=22005
__________________________________________________________________________________
November 11. Rom updated to include November Security Patches. I have also removed Supersu, as there is a built-in root manager and quite a few people no longer trust the Chinese owned Supersu.
Download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=21448
________________________________________________________________________________
October 5. New release:
1. Kernel overclocked to 2803: experimental, I have used it for 10 days on Z1 without problems
2. October security patches from Google and Code Aurora
3. Over 80 commits from Google Master Gerrit which included changes to bionic, art, frameworks and system
4. Updated Afwall
5. Maybe more
This rom is now about 40% Nougat. One of the side effects: Xposed framework no longer works, but getting rid of it and instead using Privacy Guard is almost as good. Don't forget, Xposed is an exploit, which provides hooks for good and bad things.

September 8. Rom updated to include:
1. September Google security patches
2. Latest Code Aurora patches https://www.codeaurora.org/projects/security-advisories
3. MPdecision is permanently disabled due to interfering with other hotplug and CPU frequencies. Default is MSMdecision, but you can pick several others in Kernel Adiutor
4. CPU overclock and underclock removed: no benefit whatsoever
5. More hardening ported from 3.18 kernel: https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/hardened,25 You won't find those on any rom custom or stock. This is from 3.18 kernel and it has nothing to do with Sony
6. About 70-80 commits from Android Master Branch. Folks. This is no longer a lollipop rom
7. PXN security feature implemented, which takes advantage of special instructions on ARMv7 to prevent unprivileged execution. See here: https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/265892/
8. Further integration of VOLTE
9. Kernel Adiutor: author has decided to go with Mobile Ads/Adview/Adbanner. So these were removed...
10. Camera: improvements to camera wrapper (missing entries), as well as some modifications in /frameworks/av/camera, so, you have a sharper picture. See photo attached, although, XDA reduces pictures... . This was taken with Open Camera.
Maybe more...
WARNING: you need to do one thing after flashing the rom: flash the latest stock baseband. BASEBAND ONLY. If you don't, you will only have LTE: no H+/H/2G. This is a one-time procedure and is due to Volte implementation. You have been warned. First flash the rom, then reboot, then flash the latest baseband. I don't want to hear cries: where is my 3G!

So far so good but I noticed some bugs which come from CM trees - The scrolling is laggy (this fixed it http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/109956/ ) screen is flickering with low brightness ( I made a fix but looks like I'm not able to complete it https://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/106545/ ) and WiFi Mac is wrong (starts with 00:00 and I think this commit fixed it https://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/117270/ ) Otherwise great ROM and thanks for the work!

This is Official Jaguar Rom LP 5.1.1 r37 which enjoyed over 4000 downloads at Xperia Z1 thread. Jaguar is the only LP rom that is being actively developed and maintained, which means latest sources including June security patches...
Important Disclaimer: I don't have Z1 compact, so, although unlikely, you may have non boot issues. So, back up your prior rom and don't complain, as for the purposes of Z1 compact, this is an experimental build...
As you all know, MM is still in bad alpha state, not to mention horrible camera and it will NOT get any better for many reasons such as: idiotic switching to AOSP (instead of CM) trees; and CM abandoning AOSP in favor of its own closed source OS. Pure AOSP has NEVER had a stable Z1 rom for any version of Android be it MM, LP, Kitkat or even Jeallybean. So, forget about MM. It is bad and isn't getting better.

Thanks for the rom, I look forward to trying it out. I must say, though, that we have seen at least a couple of AOSP/AOSP-based ROMs for our device that are developing nicely - fully functional and with good cameras. See DU by @SpiritCroc, and AOSP by @freexperia.
However, as far as CM goes, you're quite right. Several nice ROMs, but little camera progress.

In Kernel Adiutor use Ondemandplus, multicore power saving disabled. Set timer_rate at 33000. Don't use mpdecision, instead use Msmpdecision hotplug with idle frequency set at 1497. Use intelithermal. You will also have cpu and gpu overclocked to 2457 and 600 respectively. Also voltage changing is in kernel. Screen flickering does not exist on Z1. I will look into it...
Edit: those old commits were in from the beginning...
12. Mandatory use of Afwall (no internet unless Afwall is activated)

Afwall+ has never worked right for me. It actually blocked some apps explicitly whitelisted, and some blacklisted apps would still go through it. I know OP is not to blame about this, but making it mandatory is a big "no" for me.

Flickering occurs while Adaptive Brightness is on and when Brightness slider is on minimum value. Screen (and or backlight) just starts to flicker.
What gapps should I use fro this rom?
I tried opengapps but they make AOSP keyboard crash. (clean install)

You need to use built in binaries for iptables and busybox (prefrences/binaries), as Google iptables are modified to allow certain traffic. Afwall is good in preventing all kinds of leaks, but it can't do anything until it runs and it does not run on boot. So, this rom has a script on early init that cuts the internet until the firewall starts. Without it all your internet traffic is routed through an ip like this one: 26.147.196.122.
Cant install Afwall+KernelAuditori.zip md5 failed
is it the reason why I cant use the internet via WLAN or Mobile Data? Because someone has written that a script block all internet traffic till AFWall is started?
com.android.phone FC when I try to set up some mobile settings by long holding the mobile strengh indikator
Edit: com.android.phone FC only in german language and not in english language
Thanks

You don't flash Kernel Adiutor and Afwall: unzip the file and install as normal apps, as it says in the OP.
With regard to phone FC, change the language to English, set whatever you need and then switch back to German...
Edit: this rom is not based on CM, which only recently implemented localizations/translations. My rom and development is a one person thing, so, it is not possible for me to do all localizations. However, as described above, you can set whatever you want in English and then switch back to your language: the settings will hold

Man I dont think you got me right. The brightness values of CM sources are too low for Z1C (they are using stock ones and not sony ones) - this file is missing from sources with propper settings https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/de...rameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml
//edit// so ive found that the values are here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...rameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml and as you can see CM uses lowest value of "20" and SONY AOSP sources use "32" ( <item>32</item> <!-- 64 --> from their source)
no internet
no internet conection with this rom.what is wrong?

This rom has exactly the same value as in Sony that you linked: 10, 32, 64... . . Is there a reason CM abandoned that commit that had 13 instead of 10? But anyway, whatever the values are, don't set brightness to the extreme low and you won't have any flickering...

No. Since that I have integrated the changes in the rom. Right now all you need to do is to install and activate Afwall. It is simple: no afwall, no internet. Yes activated afwall - yes internet.

Hey, I've flashed it on A530W with TWRP and had the same issue that launcher was crashing at bootup, I wasnt able to install any other or use the phone.
I am going to perform clean reinstall.
Did you fixed those issues with clean install ?
Have a nice day!

the first install was clean. i don't have this rom anymore. the developer seems that does not have an interest for this phone (other than the original post, there is no reply from him); this thread should be closed, it is misleading that this rom it will work on a8
edit: i am using this rom now, pretty good

fake project?
@d14gvn yes
Any updates?
I like the idea of a non-One UI ROM that comes with samsung's camera and gallery. They just work well. And it's good that basic google apps are included without any play services.
I would like to be able to uninstall these apps though. I don't trust disabling to prevent them from running in the background.

[DISCONTINUED][ROM][9.0][SM-A530F] Lightheart OS [30/10/2020]

Lightheart 1.0 - The key to speed.​
Hi everyone. My name is Skulldron and for those of you who do recognise me, know me as the creator of Project Pixel, another one of the greatest ways to emulate the Pixel Experience, whilst keeping all the benefits of using OneUI and its stock optimized drivers as its base. Today I'm going to introduce something, different. Over the years of working on Touchwiz based ROMs, I've learnt the description of every little apk, every little permission, what it accepts and what it rejects, its pros and its cons. As a result of this experience, I have one of the best debloat lists out there, with each item on the debloat list, being tested, through extensive testing, and it goes over every file and every partition known in the OneUI OS. This exact same debloat script was used in Project Pixel, which has received positive review after positive review for how efficient and how lightweight OneUI became after the debloat. Today however, I present to you Lightheart OS, a new project that I will be building myself and updating monthly. Today I showcase Lionheart, the Lineage OS to my Cyanogenmod.
Key Features:
1. Heavily Debloated System: The debloat script that was made by me, has over 250+ debloated permissions, apks and other files.
2. Better Battery Performance due to Efficiency - With the removal of an incredible amount of bloat, along with better performance and lesser services, you should be looking at better SOTs and better standby times.
3. Kernel Power Control: With MTweaks and Magisk, you will be able to control your device’s clock speed and be able to force higher GPU and CPU Clock, when doing more intensive tasks such as gaming.
4. Better Kernel Performance - Due to the deepness of the debloat, the kernel now has more RAM and more space to be more efficient and allow it to focus on less threads at once.
5. Current October Patch with the promise of updates every month - Every month an update is released, the ROM will be updated along with it, with a time frame of 1-2 weeks.
6. Restored some stock Google Permissions - Some stock google framework was restored, such as the default setup wizard.
7. All Essential Samsung Features have been kept - All essential OneUI features have been kept alive, for the sole purpose of necessity.
8. Completely Deknoxed -The ROM has been Deknoxed and FRP lock measures have been disabled
9. VoLTE Supported
Individual Features:
1. AdAway
2. Eleven Music
3. Files GO
4. GBoard
5. Android Pie AOSP Emojis
6. Lightheart X Boot Animation
7. AOSP System Sounds
8. Samsung Gallery (Stripped Down and lightened to improve performance)
9. Samsung's Stock Camera with HDR parameter changes, debloated and additional video modes
10. SystemUI Tuner (Provides battery stats along with other useful customizations - Check QS icons and add it to QS Panel to view)
11. YouTube Vanced (Ad-free Youtube)
12. Mtweaks (Has Hardware Control - Similar to Kernel Adiutor but more tailored to Exynos)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: (Backup everything, including contacts etc.)
1. Download the zip and download the latest Magisk (ROM will not boot if Magisk is not flashed due to encryption procedures)
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache
3. Flash the zip and flash Magisk.
Notes:
- To view Battery Stats and Storage, pull down the Quick Settings Panel and on the top right click the three bubbles button and then Button Order. Then move the new Battery and Storage icon to the Quick Settings.
- Set Trebuchet as default launcher, for better battery savings. OneUI Home was only included for its app switcher.
Changelog:
1.0 - Initial Release
If changes are made, they will be highlighted in the next post.

How can i install this rom ?
Can you help me ?
Quick installed. The A8 is my back up now. Only noticed issues with Vanced recognizing touch on video. Great job! Good to see development for this phone.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Problem in cast
Mirrorcast doesn't work
can you give the screen what it looks like? is it a pure android aosp or from the appearance of ui from samsumg?
Thank you very much!
I'm testing the ROM.
Anyone get errors when trying to enable ADB? No way to authorize the SHA prompt...
I need this to patch Cert because I've upgraded the baseband.
The BL is A530FXXUFCTK2_CL20089282_QB35670011.

Can this ROM be installed Galaxy Theme?
I cant activation VoLTE.....
Just installed this on my SM-A530W and the booting animation looks cool! nice job. ok going to set it up, will report my results
It's been nearly one year since release and not a single of the promised monthly updates has appeared. Maybe it's such a wonderful ROM that there's nothing in it that needs updating, but even then a heads up would be nice. The dev hasn't been around since November. Just another abandoned project...

Hi, I am back, and I do apologize for the lack of updates, however sadly, this ROM is now officially discontinued, due to a lack of time and due to the fact that I no longer have time, nor own the device thus making my job that little bit harder. Thankyou everyone for using it though, and hope you find a better one. Link to the ROM will be left up however, for whoever needs it.
Hello!
Has someone used this OS for longer time? I would be very excited to read some experience,
thank you

Finally android 11 for a6000 thank you
Wow, I thought the previous version (17.1) is the last one for this device.
I am really happy I was wrong!
Thank you so much for your work acroreiser and dev_harsh1998. Also thanks to everyone who is credited!
First of all thanks to all the Devs who have kept this device still alive by providing it with those up to date roms...
Well I am using this rom for last 3 days i must say its super smooth apps are opening blazing fast, all major functions are working properly and it can be used as a daily driver for sure...
Now I encounter one bug so far its in Camera Go app the thing is when i change the storage location to SD card and start video recording than it suddenly freezes after some seconds by saying "Something went wrong " than i need to restart the app for using it again, by the way when i change the storage location back to internal than video recording is working fine so its really not bothering me that much....
There is one more thing well its not a bug its just my observation with this rom that during charging its heat up more than expected even when its charging at 90% to 100% slot which i never experience with any other roms.
All in all still its worth a shot everything's working fine, thanks to the devs again...

The problem is in the application itself. in the firmware the application is of the old version and there should be no problems with the video. But it is automatically updated to the latest version in the Playmarket and there is a problem. Remove the app update and it will work as expected.

Thanks for the info, I will try that for sure...
Hey devs,
Thanks for this brand new ROM! I use this phone as a daily driver and wanted your advice on this version or the 17.1 version. Which one is likely to be maintained in the future? I understand that 17.1 is stable but will it still get more updates or security patches or should I go ahead with this 18.1 version, please?
Thank you for your help and also for keeping this phone alive in 2021.
Cheers,
S

Currently Lineage OS 18.1 is maintained.
Both 17.1 and 18.1 is based on my Go device tree (forked from @dev_harsh1998 lineage-16.0 tree) but lineage-17.1 branch is not maintained since february 2021.
I don't know is @twain55 can maintain 17.1 builds for a long time (better ask him).
Lineage OS 18.1 is pretty stable for daily usage by user reports and my experience with a6010 (I don't have a6000 and primarily maintaining a6010 with merging stable changes to a6000 tree).
Can a dirty flash be done from 17.1 ?

Wow, thank you so much for the android 11 version. It is minimalistic and smooth. Loved the rom. Also thank you devs for keeping this device alive.
Needs Undervolting.
Even the standby drain is around 600ma.
Also I've bought a new battery for this, even that cannot survive more than an hour of SOT.
Please optimised the kernel or just undervolt it a bit.
Also only one of the back speaker is working,
Hi , Dear

Read notes in OP before installing!
Installed the latest build. Thank you. Great work . Everything is working very good. Battery life is extremely good. Got 7-8 hours full HD youtube playback on 4g. Go version is working very smoothly ( previously was using android 5.0 stock )
...
I also have another device 10or.E which has similar SoC SD430. Can you tell me step by step instructions. Kernel source is available. ( I read about building but did not clearly understand various terms like vendor etc... Tried to create initial .mk files for the board but errors at luch command itself )
