Thanks to xda senior member, addictz10, Wileyfox Swift now has unofficial Lineage OS 15 build (based on Android 8.0 Oreo).
This is the first Android Oreo build for Wileyfox Swift and as such has many features missing. But with time, improvements will be made. The good thing is, you can now experience Android Oreo on Wileyfox Swift.
Download Android 8.0 Oreo on Wileyfox Swift from below and Update Wileyfox Swift to Android Oreo manually.
Not Working:
- No sound from media (audio, video, games) playback? Go to Settings->Accessibility-> Enable Mono Audio.
- Hotspot (Turns on, but can’t detect other devices, next build will have working Hotspot hopefully)
- Permissive SELinux
Note:
- This ROM works only on Wileyfox Swift. Don’t try on any other device.
- The ROM is an initial Oreo build and contains bugs.
