    Updated the link but still it is in development phase only and is kind of restricted to developers only. It might not be ready for daily use. Use it keeping these things in mind.

    I try to install, but the ROM have too much bugs.

    A message error say ‘bluetooth share keep stopping’ continuosly. Many times.
    If you install like the guide said, first flash lineage zip, than the gapp without restart, if you don’t have SIM card inside, you can’t go to the next step beacouse lineage configuration keep restart all the time.
    If you flash lineage zip only, than restart the phone, you can complete configuration process. Than you restart and install gapp from the recovery, but in any way, if you try to connect wi-fi the ROM go in crash.

    Please fix those bugs.
