IMPORTANT NOTES FROM The Developer

1. It seems newer versions of twrp have issues mounting the system and vendor partitions, so use TWRP 3.3.0-0.
2. When using twrp it will ask if you want to install the twrp app. Make sure you tap “DO NOT INSTALL”.
3. If you care about your stuff, make a backup in TWRP first, just in case. Transfer it to a pc, along with your stuff in /sdcard.
4. Gapps are included in my builds for right now, since no one has made one for Q. Basically I just added the playstore, google app, & gmail.
5. The newest vendor, radio, & bootloader img’s are included in my builds, so no need to worry about flashing those manually.
6. Remember, lineage-17.0 is very new and in-work, so all custom features from 16.0 have not been ported over yet.
