This is an unofficial LineageOS 14.1 ROM for the OnePlus 5T. This ROM comes with a highly-customized kernel, as well as some other very custom modifications.
Custom kernels are not compatible with this ROM. I will NOT provide support if you install a custom kernel.

Based off latest LineageOS 14.1 sources (root access is NOT included)
OTA updates via built-in updater in Settings

sRGB, DCI-P3, and various other display color calibration modes and controls
Custom camera app featuring:
-Manual shutter speed control (1/5000th of a second up to 50 seconds)
-Manual ISO control
-Video HDR mode
-Antibanding control
-Exposure control

-Many other manual controls
Many other misc. performance and stability improvements under the hood

Rebuilt from the ground up using the latest Nougat Snapdragon 835 base from Qualcomm (CAF)
Removed lots of excessive bloat (improves security and performance)
Improved stability (several bugs not listed here have been fixed)
WireGuard, a next generation secure VPN tunnel (more info)
DASH charge
Passes SafetyNet bootloader unlock check
Dynamic CPU input boost driver I wrote myself (makes the phone feel smooth without destroying battery life)
Reduced display power consumption
Improved touchscreen processing latency
Improved audio jack detection
CPU underclocked to 1958 MHz by default (you can disable this; read the FAQ for more info)
Custom thermal control driver I wrote myself (features 9 thermal throttle steps; keeps the phone cool)

Installation instructions (for first-time installation):
First, perform a backup of your existing setup, and then perform a clean install (wipe /data and /system; TWRP is recommended). Next, try flashing the ROM and see if it installs; if it installs without any issues then congratulations! Now just flash a Google apps package, Magisk if you want root access, and then reboot.
If you get an error when trying to install the ROM ("dumpling.verify_modem" error), then go to the Firmware link in the Downloads section and flash the firmware package. Once you flash the firmware zip file, you can install the ROM.
Installation instructions (for updating to a newer release):
If you are already running this ROM, then you can update to a newer version of the ROM via the built-in OTA updater or by simply dirty-flashing the new ROM build without wiping anything. HOWEVER, do NOT reinstall Google Apps after installing a new update.

FAQ:
1. Why did you underclock the CPU?
Answer: At the underclocked frequency, the amount of heat generated by the CPU is quite a bit less, so the CPU is throttled less often (leading to a better user experience), and battery life is better as well. The performance difference while underclocked is also not really noticeable unless you use a benchmark application.

@SynisterWolf (or any other mod) Could you please delete the other two threads? XDA is acting derpy right now, and it looks like two extra threads got created :/

Works fine for me. I can use Android Beam to transfer stuff between devices.
