About: Lineage OS is a free custom Android firmware developed originally by LineageOS Dev team. However, the one available here is cooked by third-party developer namely Vasishath on XDA. That’s why this build is not an official build, but it is still based on AOSP and the official LineageOS source code. You, as a user, may expect an increased performance compared to using stock ROM shipped with your device which in this case is MIUI. AOSP-based ROM, like this one, is not equipped with many additional third-party extensions, apps, and so on. Hence, you may expect a lag-free performance.
The developer said almost all features of the phone works flawlessly including boots, Volte, fingerprint sensor, camera, audio, video, flash, LED, GPS, and so on.
