A few years ago, I have been building Mackay ROM, based on CyanogenMod for a number of devices. Due to being busy at work, I have stopped with that. I recently picked it up with again with a Mackay ROM based on LineageOS.
It is actually LineageOS, with a few extras that I always miss:
-SU build into the ROM
-No hash sign when using SU
-Network traffic speed option for statusbar
-OMS Substratum theming
-OmniClock in stead of Lineage Desk Clock
The bootanimation is made by my brother. It is the family coat of arms of the Scottish Mackay clan to which my family is linked.
I try to build this ROM on a weekly basis, but it mainly depends on when interesting features are available/merged
Download:
AndroidFileHost
Installation:
-Make sure you have recent TWRP installed
-Make sure you have LL bootloader
-gapps can only be flashed on clean installs (I use pico 7.1 arm64 opengapps myself - opengapps.org)
-clean install (factory reset) if coming from another ROM, dirty flash if updating
I am open to suggestions for additions, but I prefer a clean ROM, just some basic extras over stock LineageOS has always been my approach for Mackay ROMs.

This ROM would never have been possible without the hard work of the exynos5420 team and ZakooZ in particular for bringing LineageOS to the p600/n1awifi and the other LineageOS developers.

Hey, thanks for the development. I've been using this for the past several days, and encounter no major problems so far, it's based on Lineage afterall. Substratum theming works too, I've installed several.
I have a question though: since this is 7.1.2, are you sure you're using pico 7.1 arm64 opengapps? From the Lineage thread, it seems that opengapps (at least on several days ago) cannot be flashed on 7.1.2, as per this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ial-builds-t3457898/post71984181#post71984181
Basically due to changes in 7.1.2, Gapps for 7.1.1 or 7.0 doesn't work on 7.1.2 so a modded version needs to be used. Of course this is the one I flashed so all works fine.
Probably the only thing I'd request is that instead of using SuperSU, it's better to use Magisk, if only because it can hide itself from apps that don't like root.
Thanks for the reply. Indeed, there some to be an issue for latest opengapps. I guess/hope they'll fix this soon.
I've not tried Magisk myself and use the buildin su. I don't use apps that have a problem with root, but I'll add the recommendation
Thanks for the new rom, but you put your thraed in the wrong category. Can you move it to android development, please?
Android experience relies heavily on Google's Play Services. The microG project creates an alternative to installing Gapps, which install and execute closed-source blobs on our phones. MicroG however requires a patch called "signature spoofing", which allows microG's apps to spoof themselves as Google Apps. LineageOS currently does not include the patch due to different opinions among the developers. (further information can be found here)
This makes microG installation difficult on LineageOS and other ROMs. Our ROM is a fork of LineageOS with just the necessary changes to have microG built-in. We ship weekly builds for all the LineageOS supported devices..
You can find us on https://lineage.microg.org

Would like to have build for Nexus 9 aka flounder
Awesome start! Good luck with that! Cheers! :fingers-crossed:
Is this the thread mentioned in the FAQ where one can request builds for other devices supported by LineageOS?
If so, I'd love to see a build for the LG G5 (aka h850), which is currently the only high-end device by a known manufacturer with a removable battery and high repairability (8/10 from Ifixit).
It's fully supported by LineageOS (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h850) and I'd be willing to report any possible problems and help debug it if necessary.
Thanks in advance and awesome project!
Can you please add support for LG G4 (H815) as well?
The LineageOS for microG OTA infrastructure is based on https://github.com/julianxhokaxhiu/LineageOTA?
I'm mounting my own infrastructure and I want to know how to build it. Thanks.

@Simon94 does it supports substratum ? and thanks for the modded lineage .
Microg.me is a really wonderful project , I have been using it for 3 days, but there are some things that annoy me. In particular, is it really necessary to implement it in every single build ?? I use an application with the same signature, so at each ota it is replaced by the fakestore and that's annoying . Also one ota per day is pretty excessive I think, especially for daily usage. Why not release an update at the same time as the official lineage ?
Please excuse me if the answers to my questions are obvious, I'm a bit new on microg.
Would it be possible to built a pac which could be used for an unofficial LOS-Release to install it e.g. via twrp? I would to love to test the microg-package onto my satsuki (E6833) Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual

Same feature-set as LineageOS. If LOS supports substratum, we are supporting this aswell.

Unfortunately we wont remove FakeStore since our goal is to provide a Google free ROM with a fully working ecosystem which requires having FakeStore installed. Sorry for that. What you could do is to write a script for OTA survival / - or removal and put it in the /system/addon.d directory. But we're not going to support this in any way.
Otherwise we can invite you to not use Play Store, but a replacement like Yalp Store.
We like to build as often as we can. Its up to you and your free choice. If you dont want to update on a daily basis, just dont do it
Best, Simon

There are several methods to get microg. Maybe you should start reading there https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/index-list-custom-roms-offering-t3557047
My preferred method have been nanomod patcher and shadow53's zip.
I can't find my device in the download section!! Yu yunique (jalebi). As the site says that all the devices with official linegae os support will get this rom?? Pls provide for my device jalebi. Thanks in advance.

Thank you!! Waiting for it
Hey there! I have an old first-gen Moto X as my main android device (ghost) and I'd love to take advantage of your awesome project! I tried to get the docker image up and running myself, but I keep getting random DNS failures in docker, which seem to get silently passed, which results in the build claiming to be successful, yet no builds show up in my "zips" folder when it completes. Only thing that I think needs changed from the default is the lineageOS branch (cm-13.0). Would it be too much trouble to add 'ghost' to your list of builds?
Thank you,
neutral
Can you add support for taoshan (Sony Xperia L)?
Has LOS support.
Thanks!

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9.0 (Pie), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void. Knox 0x1.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* lost data due to failed backups, etc, etc.
* flash at your own risk
*/
How to flash this ROM:
Download the zip file. (Make sure to download the file for your specific device)
Make sure this zip file is saved to your device (I prefer transferring to sd card to allow for full wipe of data on phone).
If you want Google Play functionality, download OpenGApps (link below). (optional)
Reboot into TWRP (latest version recommended)
Make a backup (optional).
Wipe System, Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache partitions with Advanced Wipe. (I like wiping internal data too, do NOT wipe SD Card!)
Flash the ROM you just downloaded.
Flash OpenGApps for Android 9.0 if you want Google services (optional) (I prefer nano or pico).
If you want root, flash Magisk.
Reboot and proceed normally with installation.
Download links:
Official 16.0 coming out soon from actual developers.

None reported yet, in testing.
Any meaningful reason why you're posting inofficial builds?
AFAIK you're not affiliated with us in any way. And you haven't done any work for shamu. So users reporting bugs to you is just a waste of their time, as you're not going to fix them.
You're just picking some very low hanging fruits.
There's really no need for them especially because we're shipping soon.
Also proper credits would have been nice.
I have a good friend with a shamu phone, he wanted to upgrade his phone so I helped him out. As of yet, I haven't seen any Lineage OS 16.0 ROMs so I spent all yesterday attempting to build one.
It finally completed with no errors, and that seems like a meaningful enough reason to post an unofficial build to me.
I don't own a shamu, and sorry if I left out credits where credit is due for people bringing shamu specific code up to pie, feel free to message me names and I'll include them in the credit section.

The reason why there are no unoffical builds is that we don't really want to have any for devices which are going to be supported officially.
I know that you had good intentions, but posting inofficial builds doesn't make it easier for us devs.

Alright, that makes sense. I wasn't aware shamu was going to be included in the devices receiving official Lineage 16.0 ROMs. I'll go ahead and remove the download link, and refer my friend to your signature to download ROMs for his phone.
Like I mentioned, I don't have a shamu, I'm on a Note 3 (hltetmo) and have been building my own LineageOS 16.0 (even though members of the official Lineage team such as Haggertk are building unofficial ROMs for my Note 3 too).
You're correct that my building hasn't included any actual fixing of bugs and getting those fixes submitted into official builds, but you have to start somewhere, right?

Yes I know that haggert and others are distributing unofficial builds. What I meant is we are not to eager of unofficial builds of people not affiliated with us in any way.
It's always getting messy if 2-3 people post unofficial builds and users think they're using the real thing.
I'm always happy if someone wants to help, but without a test device it's going to be close to impossible for you to test anything properly.

I'd like to increase the privacy of my phone. I'm looking for a compatible open source ROM for the Xiaomi Mi 9T with the latest stock android firmware without any bloatware from google or xiaomi. Better if it's a popular ROM so I can find support more easily.
After I install the ROM I'll follow this phone hardening guide: https://lemmy.ml/post/128667

Yes that's true but just because a certain developer doesn't want to update to the next Android version, it doesn't mean it's over with LineageOS for davinci.

The nice thing about MicroG is the fact that more apps still work. Yes, many other roms offer signature spoofing which is a prerequisite for microG but it never worked as well for me as the in-house LineageOS rom build from microG itself.
I've installed lineage-17.1-20220105-nightly-davinci-signed.zip. Thanks for the suggestions. Just to be sure, since I'm going to follow the 100% FOSS Smartphone Hardening non-root 4.0 guide now, is all the software in Lineage OS 17.1 FOSS (free and open source software)?

Thing is that the ROM has to become official (i.e. published on the LOS site) before the microG guys start building it. Many developers hesitate to make their version official, because it comes with responsibilities (in maintenance especially).
That said, there is a Magisk module available that adds microG to custom ROMs that seems to work well with LOS.
I've taken a look at rooting the phone to make adaway more energy efficient but since the device has no ramdisk I would have to boot to recovery every time I want to have root enabled. So I'm guessing most people just don't use this phone with root since it would be too inconvenient. And I'd like to know why Lineage OS doesn't offer a simple way to enable root.

I don't use LOS but I guess it uses the stock Xiaomi boot.img
If so, then it is absolutely not needed to install Magisk to recovery - as stated elswhere, patch the boot.img and then you boot directly to Magisk with no problem (don't worry that Magisk says Ramsisk No, patching boot.umg works with no problem)
Regarding to built-in Magisk to custom ROMs (old school) - that is discoursged by TJW Magisk documentation. One of the reason is troubles if user wants to update Magisk
(All assuming Magisk for root)
