You're right, it doesn't. But why go through the hassle of hacking the kernel when you can replace the whole OS with something better?

- RealStickman_ 4y agoBecause, last I checked, LineageOS doesn't expose root privileges to the user.
- nubinetwork 4y agoThe install goes something like this... - install new recovery and reboot - install new OS image - install google apps - install su package - reboot and wait half an hour because androids first boot always takes forever :) Installing su is often skipped because its not recommended.
- RealStickman_ 4y agoThe latest officially avaiable su package is for 16.0. My phone's on 18.1 and the latest version is 20. If you want SU on a supported LineageOS, you have to use Magisk or potentially this project.
