The reason I want to is I dislike the Vision rom that comes with the A5 Pro. The English language is spotty in the system menus, and I dislike not being able to completely customize the lock screen.

I plan to do backups so I can recover or revert if it's not good enough, but keen to see how it goes.
It'll be great if you succeed. I have an A5 Pro that I'm not using. I'd love to install LineageOS on it.

You'd need to port the e-ink functionality. Maybe the .apk provided by Damien in the XDA thread for rooting the A9 will work on the A5 Pro, too.
