    Just wanted to say that I installed this on my D852 and at least initially, things seem to be working. I don’t have a SIM in this phone (yet) so can’t verify mobile network functionality.

    Interestingly, even though I didn’t flash (i.e. Open)GApps (yet — I just wanted to see if the ROM was functional without the overhead of flashing GApps initially), I seem to already have a lot of Google Apps including the Play Store, GMail, etc.

    Unrelatedly, so while I have found https://github.com/itsHardStyl3r I don’t see the g3-d852 device repo there.

    Maybe more succinctly, can I ask how one builds the whole LOS ROM for d852 from your great work? I already build cm-14.1 for d852 locally here, so I just need to know how your changes can be applied to a lineage-15.1 build tree to reproduce your build.

    Cheers!
