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.
Changelogs for each update can be found in the 2nd post of this thread.

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

  -Manual shutter speed control (1/5000th of a second up to 50 seconds)
  -Manual ISO control
  -Video HDR mode
  -Antibanding control
  -Exposure control
  -Denoise control
  -Face detection
  -HDR
  -Many other manual controls
• Many other misc. performance and stability improvements under the hood

Kernel features:

• Rebuilt from the ground up using the latest Nougat Snapdragon 835 base from Qualcomm (CAF)

• Improved stability (several bugs not listed here have been fixed)
• WireGuard, a next generation secure VPN tunnel (more info[/url])

• 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)

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If you are already running this ROM, then you can update to a newer version of the ROM via the built-in OTA updater or by simply dirty-flashing the new ROM build without wiping anything.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.
