Download and Install Lineage OS 18 on LG V40 ThinQ (Android 11)

An unofficial Lineage OS 18 is now available for the LG V40 ThinQ (codename: judypn). LG V40 ThinQ is a 2 year old device now which was launched in 2018 with Android Oreo 8.1 later but thanks to the Lineage os 18, users can taste the latest Android 11 on the device.

We would like to thank the developer/uploader SGCMarkus for the ROM. You can follow our guide to Download and Install LineageOS 18 for LG V40 ThinQ (Android 11).

The ROM is still in its initial stage so there may be some bugs currently present in the ROM so we recommend our readers not to flash the ROM on their primary device. The developers are working hard to fix all the available bugs and we are very sure that in upcoming updates, everything will be fixed and the ROM can be used as a daily driver.

Lineage OS 18 -Android 11 Features

LineageOS is a free, community-built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. 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 restores the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

So, the Android 11-based Lineage OS 18 firmware offers all the useful and popular features like the Conversation Notification, One-Time App Permissions, Notification History, Chat Bubbles, Built-in Screen Recording, Improved Media Player, Smart Reply, New Power Menu, Scoped Storage, Wireless ADB, Pin Apps to Sharesheet, and more.
