Requirements for adding a device

The LineageOS wiki provides instructions based on the assumption that your device has got its device tree/kernel under the LineageOS GitHub organisation, and that it supports building Lineage 13.0 or higher. If your device meets both these requirements, follow the instructions below to get your device set up.

Adding your device

Populating the YAML

You can use the sample template as a starting point, and update the values to match your device. An explanation of poorly-named/confusing options is below:

  • carrier: If the device was released for a specific carrier, the name of that carrier. Otherwise, leave the line blank.
  • cpu: The CPU architecture of the device. For example, Cortex A9 or Krait 300.
  • download_boot: Instructions for booting the device into the mode used to install recovery. On most devices, this is fastboot mode.
  • image: The image located under images/devices/ to use for this device. Instructions on adding an image are below.
  • install_method: Used to determine the recovery install template to use. Templates can be found in _includes/templates/recovery_install_install_method.md.
  • kernel: The repo name of the kernel - for example, android_kernel_oneplus_msm8974.
  • peripherals: A list of peripherals available on the device.
  • tree: The repo name of the device tree - for example, android_device_oneplus_bacon.
  • vendor_short: The vendor name used for the device tree - for example, oneplus.

Adding the device’s image

Find a reasonably high-quality image of your device, and add it to images/devices/<image>.png. The filename should match the entry in your YAML file.

Adding device-specific pages

Copy each of the sample Markdown files found here, replacing sample with your device’s codename. Each of these files should go in pages/<build|info|install>/<codename>.md.

Testing it works

Start the wiki, and navigate to the devices list. Your device should be there. Click on it, and check that the info/install/build pages all seem correct.

Submitting your device

After verifying the device-specific pages, commit and upload your changes to Gerrit, and add the “Wiki Editors” group as reviewers.
