LineageOS FAQ

LineageOS FAQ​
Why did Cyanogenmod end?
This statement from the CyanogenMod team explains where the company is headed from here. As far as why they has to discontinue Cyanogenmod:
The company is downsizing and will focus on a new project (the “Cyanogen Modular OS” program), and they are merely cutting off services that they believe they can no longer maintain. As a part of their consolidation, the company announced that many of their employees, including Cyanogen (Steve Kondik) himself, would part ways with the company.

What about nightlies?
As of 12.13.16 all cyanogen nightlies will no longer be supported.
As part of the ongoing consolidation of Cyanogen, all services and Cyanogen-supported nightly builds will be discontinued no later than 12/31/16. The open source project and source code will remain available for anyone who wants to build CyanogenMod personally.

What is LineageOS?
LineageOS is the successor to the popular CyanogenMod ROM. With an emphasis on openness, community development, and improvement of the stock Android experience, CyanogenMod supported dozens of devices officially with nightly updates, and unofficially, by the efforts of developers in the community, dozens more devices. LineageOS intends to pick up where CyanogenMod left off, but with a redoubled focus on being a grassroots community-focused development effort.
Where can I find LineageOS Builds?
We have not started doing official builds yet. One of the benefits of this being an open source project is that anyone can build it, but please be careful flashing builds you’ve downloaded from other sources. We will have some more information on when weeklies (or possibly nightlies) will be starting soon.

When builds of LineageOS start to show up, you can expect them to pick up right where Cyanogenmod left off and be nearly identical to the latest CM builds.
How can I participate?
LineageOS is looking for people to build slaves and build mirrors. If you have hosting resources that meet these requirements, then you can contact them here.
I will be updating this FAQ as more information comes out about LineageOS.

I loved cyanogenmod, i hope lineageOS keeps up cheers ! waiting for a build for Oneplus 3

So this may sound terrible dumb but I didn't find a clear answer around here, is Lineage based on 7.0?

CAF ROMs have nothing to do with Cyanogen Inc. Anyone can build their own ROM using CAF (Code Aurora Forum) which is led by Qualcomm.

Not yet, but it will be sooner or later. Mostly waiting for proper infrastructure for build servers.

Well :good:

there are so many unofficial lineageOS and cm, so which UNOFFICIAL lineageOS can we use among them as official rom?

i'm disappointed because the redmi 2 and the redmi 1 have roms before de mi3 i mean.... come on..
also still the same ui as cm14 the only new is the logo. well like shibba quote me in the lineage page.
I understand this disappointment which is because of too much of expectation from LineageOS. You need to understand that hundreds and thousands of developers are working on LineageOS to make it up and running even compromising their Christmas and New year celebration for this year just to make all of us happy.
Rebranding CyanogenMod to LineageOS is important. At this point of time it is necessary to make the infrastructure stable and hence most of them will be concentrating on that part while other individual developers contributing to the device tree they support which is eventually slowing the overall development process of LineageOS as a whole.
For now yes it will be no different to CyanogenMod but eventually you will get new features added to it. I hope you understand the complete picture.

You have to read more I guess.
CyanogenMod 13 Official = Android 6 rom supported by cyanogenmod (Lineage now) and receiving nightly via ota,directly from them.
LineageOS 14.1 Unofficial= Android 7.1.1. supporting by developers here in XDA merget by the code same as official versions.
Theres two different versions of android.It's unofficial when its not realised by lineageOS team.Anyway a lot of devs here making unofficial builds which are very stable as daily drive.When come official builds again u will be able to recive them over OTA.

I can't try as preformance, battery drive because is probably for not my device BUT. I would say yes, for me personally CM/LineageOS official or unofficial is much better than cm 13. Better battery life and preformance. Yeah, well Facebook is little bit buggy but I guess need time to be optimized for Android 7.

Thanks for helping

Hi
I would love to start developing Rom for Albus. Does anyone want to work with me to try to develop the Pixel Experience?

Sounds great,but what a shame that I don't have much time

If you need someone to test, you can talk to me. Telegram: +55 86 999416164.

maybe @dlproject and @Junior Passos and @davidsonsjesus and @rahulsnair are up for the task? What do you guys say?
pixel experience is awesome! i would love to have it and I'm pretty sure the community would to. Oreo or Pie it would be amazing. maybe it would be wise to wait for the release of kernels and such from Pie 9.0 for ALBUS since the current kernel is limited to android 8.0 but that would be you guyses call, if the current set of tools allows Pixel Experience to be experienced than bring it on! pretty please!!!!!

You can have the pixel experience rom using project treble.
But the vendor is outdated it. And the only man who is create rom on project treble is the developer from lineage 15.1.
In order to use the leatest version of any rom for excample AEX, Pixel Experience and other rooms the kernel must be update to the leatest security fix.
I was succsesufull flash AEX Oreo but can't update because to the older version of the security path.

could you please elaborate more specifically? I understand that project treble separates the firmware files in two categories, the essential (aka hardware) and the substantial (aka software), so we would get the essential of ALBUS and combine with the substantial of PIXEL 2, is that what you are suggesting? But for the "fusion" to work both firmwares must be on the same security patch.. is that what you mean or did I understand it incorrectly?

Yes. We have only one treble relase for the LOS 15.1 and the security patch is only to octombre. If you use version in augost you will have a bootloop.
I ask the dev in LOS 15.1 to update the treble version so we can use the vendor but he don't response.

I heard that project treble is way harder to work with then anybody anticipated and that it is currently a nightmare to be avoided. I say it's worth trying though since it's opportunity. What's the name of the dev? Ping him here in this topic

Why there is no Oxygen OS unnoficial rom for our OP3T ?

Hello guys,
There is a lot of customs roms for our OP3T but why there is no Oxygen OS roms unnoficial (based on the latest OOS build) for our OP3T, since OOS is a very good os, i don't understand.
It's not possible ?
Thanks guys

There are OOS based ROMs such as theOne3OS, Experience etc. They have mostly been debloated versions of the official ROM with some baked-in enhancements like Magisk modules. There are no OOS ROMs based on Android 10 AFAIK. Not sure how difficult it is to port stable official Android 10 ROMs from other OnePlus devices.

OOS is closed source - nobody (but OnePlus) has source code for. The non-OOS custom roms are source build (aosp and caf open source based). The OOS based roms are just repacks of the original OOS. OOS is no longer supported for op3/t - after OOS 9.0.6 there is nothing to repack.

Like the others said repacks are availible, if you want to try to run a newer oxygen os version than is officially availible you have the biggest chance with the unofficial gsi support route and a oxygenos gsi rom. But i don't expect it to work well so only do it if you enjoy tinkering with your phone and are an experienced flasher who has the neccesary backups.

OneUi is closed source too.

Hard to say on this general basis. Maybe gsi.
I suggest you read the threads of such roms and ask the dev if those threads doesn't answer your question.
Then you can do the same for oos. I'm sure many people will appriciate your work.

Difference between unofficial and official custom rom releases ? (example: LOS 17.1)

Hi, I'd like to know the difference between unofficial and official custom rom releases.
1) What is the difference between an official release and an unofficial release? Is there any difference in their updating process?
2) Can you explain me the process of birth of an official release since the source code release? How an official releaser is chosen? For example LOS 17 doesn't have an official build yet, is one year after its first release. Why?
3) Almost any other oneplus smartphone got 17.1 but 5T not. Why? Is it less supported by community?
Any additional explanation will be very useful and appreciated.

In that case, try https://paranoidandroid.co/downloads/onc . I personally used it for long time and found it to be one of the best among the custom roms for redmi 7.

I use the official LOS 17.1. It's mostly stable and has up-to-date security patch. It might be a bit barebones when it comes to customizations.
Then there's Paranoid Android, I haven't tested this one but you should take a look at it.

Is this actually android 10 or is it only with android 9, i want to confirm this from you because i dont want to flash a rom so many times

Lineage OS 17.1 is the most stable and fast ROM you can probaby flash. However if you want Android 11 I would recommend PixysOs, I'm using it as my daily driver and have no issues with stability or speed.
