BlackBerry Passport — LineageOS installation overview
: Touch-capacitive scrolling, "flick" for suggestions, and "swipe to delete" are functional on Android.
Android 10 is larger than BlackBerry 10. You must repartition the internal storage. The Lineage installer will include a partition_updater.zip . You flash this in TWRP, which will wipe everything , including your radio firmware. It will shrink the user data space to make room for the system.
As of late 2025, a madman known as Vampirefo released a "proof of concept" Android 13 (Lineage 20) build for the Passport. It is unstable. Bluetooth breaks entirely, and the square screen renders dialog boxes off-screen. Stick to Android 10 (Lineage 17.1) for daily stability.
| App Category | Experience | | :--- | :--- | | | Cropped horribly. Stories are cut off. Not recommended. | | YouTube | Black bars on top/bottom. Watchable but small. Use "NewPipe" for background play. | | Kindle/PDF readers | God-tier. A square screen reads books better than a candybar phone. | | Slack/Discord | Fine. Text is dense. | | Banking apps | Usually work, but inputting numbers via physical keyboard can be awkward. |
The first boot takes 5-7 minutes. You will see the Lineage OS boot animation stretched to a square. Do not panic.
