LineageOS for Realme Q5 (RMX3478)

LineageOS is an operating system for smartphones, tablet computers, and set-top boxes, based on Android with mostly free and open-source software. It is the successor to the custom ROM CyanogenMod, from which it was forked in December 2016 when Cyanogen Inc. announced it was discontinuing development and shut down the infrastructure behind the project. Since Cyanogen Inc. retained the rights to the Cyanogen name, the project rebranded its fork as LineageOS.

Changelogs:

* Initial A14 build.

Notes:

* Use the mentioned recovery to install
* Take a backup of your data as this process will erase /data partition
* If you face any issues related to sensors after flashing this build, u need to reflash stock and come back to this build (happens bcz of kernel and fw mismatch) or u can try flashing c10 modem (Most of the time, that fixes too)
* Follow instructions carefully for flashing
* MindTheGapps preferred for gapps (can try others too, i haven't tested those)
* In case if you find any bugs, report with proper logs
