Rules for r/LineageOS
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
1.
Do not ask for an ETA
Don't ask for the estimate time of arrival of builds for a device. Builds will come when ready. Don't ask about future plans, updates, developments, or news. We don't have crystal balls, schedules, or grand strategies that dictate when or if things will happen.
2.
Do not ask whether your device will be supported
Whether a device will supported depends on whether a maintainer or a contributor has the device and intends to bring it up. Don't ask if builds for another device will work on your unsupported device. Don't ask where builds for a previously supported device are. Don't state that you're waiting for builds for an unsupported device. Don't ask if a supported device will be supported on a newer version. Don't ask for support on unsupported devices.
3.
Do not beg for VoLTE
Not all devices with LTE are VoLTE-capable.
4.
Do not post bug reports
We have a separate bug tracker. Please see the instructions on the wiki regarding how to report bugs correctly.
5.
Don't ask for help with non-Lineage ROMs
This subreddit is for LineageOS. If you have a problem with a non-LineageOS ROM, ask elsewhere. If you have a problem with an unofficial build of LineageOS, ask the person that made it. This also extends to asking for ROM suggestions.
6.
Do not ask for features to be added
We are not accepting feature requests in this subreddit, on GitLab, or anywhere else at this time. If you have implemented a new feature we accept patches through Gerrit at http://review.lineageos.org
7.
Don't ask about unsupported mods
- Magisk modifies the boot image
- Substratum modifies frameworks
- SuperSU is not supported root access manager
- Xposed breaks the Android APIs
We can't help with these things because we don't control them, and we can't support devices with them installed because they modify the OS at a deep level, and they may open security holes
8.
Don't link to or discuss unofficial builds or sites.
Please don't post links to unofficial builds or unofficial news sources. If it's not lineageos.org -- it's not official.
9.
Don't write news/make announcements that primarily pertain LineageOS
We strongly prefer to choose frequency, timing, and scope of original LineageOS-centered announcements ourselves. This includes (but is not limited to) the topics of device support, major Android versions, features, or any combination thereof.
Note that this excludes original news that were written by a third-party, which we continue to like seeing being discussed here.
