[LINEAGE 18.1] - February 2026 release

[fakemanoan]

Changes since last release:

• Move back to GCC for the kernel (temporarily)
• Enable audio earsmart driver in the kernel for s6e+, fixes no call audio on NA variants
• Apply NFC patch preventing nfc fw being downloaded on boot, fixes NFC toggling in some scenarios
• Copy gps.conf to system. Many more satellites available and fixes issues where some users couldnt get a lock
• Disable SDP in the kernel, could break encryption in certain scenarios
• Move mobicore init to separate rc file, in preparation for new driver/userspace libs
• Move zram swap parameters around in the init process, matches upstream pixel devices
• 2GB zram for all devices now

This is not what I wanted to release. I was doing some kernel updates changing some stuff, but it simply wouldn't be ready in time. So a temporary release instead.

I will update OTAs as soon as it is confirmed ok
