How to become Maintainer for Lineage OS?

Hello,
I want to become maintainer for Lineage OS for specific device (I will buy the device to maintain).
Could someone plz explain me the process of becoming the maintainer and pre-requisites for it?
I had a look at teamoctos/join-our-team/ but it will be helpful if someone explains all those steps in it.

Thanks
I'm not sure about this but however:
First of all you will have to build device tree for that device (I guess that device isn't supported at the moment, if is than you can contribute to that repo on github via pull requests and wait for them to approve change) and that device tree works without lethal bugs. Also you'll need kernel that won't make you much troubles because manufacturer probably published sources (they had to). And when you make it work than you can try to conntact them about joining team, if they accept new devs, because I read somwhere about how to make CM support device officialy they mention only they support devices they own, they not mention anything about joining team if I remember well. It's best that you conntact them and ask I'm sure there is way for that.

Unless a specific thread states otherwise (which will provide you with the individual or location to do so), the XDA Forums isn't where you request this.
Regarding the Official LineageOS, though, the XDA Forums isn't where you request this either, here's the only location (at this time) to where you can find what you're looking for.
1) Go to the following link:
http://wiki.lineageos.org/faq.html
2) Scroll down to the following question (without quotes):
"My device is not officially supported, but I’d really like to give LineageOS a try. Can you support my device?"
3) It is there that you'll find the information you're looking for as well as the E-Mail address to where you can send them the information.
Good Luck!

LineageOS for the MotoG5s??

Hi, I was silly and didn't check the device compatibilities of LineageOS before buying a new phone. I bought the Motorola Moto g5s.
I now see that this is not on Lineage's list of compatible devices. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to install Lineage on my phone and if you have any links? Or if you know whether this is possible or not for me? (I'm not very tech so would need a tutorial to follow like the ones on the Lineage website).
Also, if anyone could tell me if an OS for the motog5s plus would be compatible with a motog5s?
Thank you so much
You can use the search bar to seek on this forum, i'm sure you'll find some usefull stuff for your device.
By the way, ther are one unnoficial build of LineageOS

Thank you for this

System choices for Nokia 6.1; if any

Hi there,
I read the forum rules, I am still not entirely sure if this post belongs here, sorry about that if not.
I own a Nokia 6.1; it is an android one device, I am looking to remove android from it.
I looked at the websites from /e/, ubuntu touch, sailfish; none of these has official support for this phone,
so I would attempt to do it by myself, and my techinal knowlege about phones is zero, hence the hesitation.
I want to ask if anyone here has managed to ditch android from this model, either /e/, ubuntu touch, sailfish,
graphene, lineage would be fine by me.
Cheers.
There is a halium port for this device that uses a generic halium system image. It works pretty well, check it out.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no.../gsi-ubuntu-touch-ubports-erfanoabdi-t4167587
Also, there is an Official LineageOS port for this device.
There is also an \e\ GSI. I haven't tried it, so I don't know how it is.

Ubuntu ! yay
I did not set my notifications and I just read your reply,
I have been interested in ubuntu touch for a while, I will check that out,
Thank man

Android 10 or 11 for Samsung S5 mini

Dear Forum,
meanwhile is there a version (lineage or whatever)available which can be applied to a Samsung S5 mini?
I am always struggling, cause the posts are mostly for Samsung S5 and when reading there is no list included which type
of S5 it is working on. I think a better specification in the posts wpould help a lot.
Thank you very much
I'ts all there: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/galaxy-s5-mini-android-development.3300/
The threads are marked with either g800f or g800h!

How did anyone get on A11?!
LineageOS Statistics
stats.lineageos.org
possibility 1:
people are trolling and just randomly changing versions
possibility 2:
trees for A10 and A11 exist and they are unknown to us
I have found these trees which seem to be Q, but they give me "ran out of inodes" error

Which version of Android (GSI) can I run on a device with VNDK 27.0?

My plan is to flash a GSI image (LineageOS) for android 9. Specifically the following
- https://github.com/LineageOS/android/tree/lineage-16.0
- https://github.com/AndyCGYan/lineage_build_unified/tree/lineage-16.0
Is there a chance of getting this to run on my device? Please see the attached file for the output of the Treble Info app.
I cannot find any information about the impact of VNDK version 27.0 so any help is much appreciated.
Device info:
- Processor: Rockchip 3399

I have the same issue, only thing I could find out, some features not gonna work, (who know what), if you install a newer vndk you wont be able to return to an older one. Be honest, Project Treble is made for seamlessly update phones, but it is a mess, versions, vndks, legacy phones, A-B-A/B images, etc. it doesnt do what it meant to do.
The XDA forum was a good place to ask questions like this, it was, still remember to get answer about my 10 years old phone, however things really changed over the years. Members change their phones on montly basis, so dont expect any professional answer.
