Now to the installation instructions.

Requirements:

  • 3.0 Firmware or newer (currently tested NOS3.0-250303-1817)

Instructions:

  1. Download the boot.img and vendor_boot.img provided in the release
  2. Use fastboot or your preferred way to flash both of these. (fastboot flash boot boot.img && fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img). If you already have a compatible recovery installed (most lineage-based recoveries should work), this step is not required, but recommended.
  3. Reboot into recovery (do not change the slot before rebooting)
  4. If this is your first time flashing halogenOS, it's highly recommended to wipe data (factory reset) in recovery now. Upgrading from 15.2 is supported. Tested upgrade path is 14 → 15 → 15.1 → 15.2 → 16.0.
  5. Apply update → Apply from ADB
  6. Sideload the ZIP from the release (adb sideload halogenOS_Spacewar-...)
