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.

Cyanogenmod14 vs lineageOS14 (both of them are UNOFFICIAL builds)
Wich one is better than other one between those?
Or are both of them 100% similar?

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.

Confused: Why 32bit only OS on Moto G5 64bit hardware?

Hi!
If I understand things correctly, my Moto G5 phone is born with an Android OS version that only accepts 32bit code, although the hardware is 64bit?
Why did Moto do that? It sounds like selling a car with a 6 or 8 cylinders engine, and only use 4 of them...?!
And on top of that, I discovered they stopped updating that (primitive 32bit) Android 8.1.0 OS in February 2019...
Should I switch to a custom 64bit ROM? NB!: Stability and robustness is more important to me than fancy new features...!
I found 2 lists of 'Best ROMs for Moto G5'. The shortest recommends 8 here:
https://romsx.com/best-custom-roms-for-moto-g5/
So which should I choose?
NB: Moto G5 only has 16 GB.

You will have to ask Motorola for the answer to the first part
As for custom 64bit roms:
Lineage 17.1
Lineage mint (based on lineage 17.1)
ASOP android 10
Are the latest custom roms for this device (see dev section)
All will have the same issue with regards to camera/video recording not working fully

Thank you for your reply!
But what about ROMs that have been more tested in real life, where camera and video etc. work?
Yes - it is Motorola that should answer my first questions. I don't expect any answer from them... But others might have a comment...

All 64bit roms will have the camera issue as Motorola have not released updated camera libs
The roms I listed above are the latest roms which will have the camera bug minimised but you will still experience issues in some apps like only being able to take a certain amount of photos before the app freezes, camera not working in low light, green tint, video not recording/saving and so on. You can use various other apps but nothing is perfect and you may still experience issues
The only fully functioning custom rom with no bugs will be the 32bit lineage 14.1

That is the most useful information I have yet seen about custom ROMs - thank you!
But according to https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/7-1-x-lineageos-14-1-moto-g5-t3611973 LineageOS 14.1 for Moto G5 is:
ROM OS Version: 7.1.x Nougat
Last Updated 2018-03-18
And the 'stock' OS on my Moto G5 is Android 8.1.0 updated in February 2019.
My intention was to UPgrade my OS, not DOWNgrade it... !
So THAT LineageOS 14.1 doesn't really seem relevant.
And on https://download.lineageos.org/ there doesn't seem to be a version for Moto G5(?) There are versions for G4 and G6, but not G5. (Neither under Lenovo - the actual producer.)
But thanks anyway!

Only official versions will be on the lineageos website
There is no difference between an official and unofficial version except the official versions are built on the lineage servers every week with any lineage side changes (not device side unless merged by maintainer)
However official versions have to meet certain criteria in terms of everything that works in stock rom must work in the unofficial lineage build submitted to become official.
As the camera doesn't work as it does in stock in lineage 17.1 it will never become official in its current state
They are listed under Motorola because that is the company that makes the phones
Lenovo is the parent company that owns Motorola

Samsung will have the most community support as they are the most popular phones
Google pixel will obviously have longevity
Xiaomi might be the best budget choice other than later Motorola models

Volume shortcuts

Hello!
I ve got the MI 10T Pro.
I was wondering, there is a shortcut for opening the camera app on the lockscreen (doubble tap volume down).
Can I remap this to any app I want, because it doens't seem to be possible. I can't find the option to do this.
I'm on stock without root.
If it is not possible, is a rom out there wich can do it?
Greetings

try googling for some apps which you can use. i dont use miui much, but in lineage os (stock), you have to go to the "gestures" settings page, there you can configure actions for button presses.

I've tried to google unfortunately there is no app for this (at least i can't find one).
I want to use lineage os so bad and was already thinking about it, but my banking app won't work with it and i need it daylie. :/

all you need is a rom which supports safetynet, that will allow you to install your banking app.
fortunately, you can get safety net for lineage os.

First of all, thank you so much!
How about the safety of my datas? I really don't want my bankaccount to be stolen. I know a custom rom has a risk. Do u know how big it is?

custom roms which are open source, such as lineage os, should be safe. if its an official build (as it is in this case), it should definitely be safe. In most cases, these custom roms are regarded to be safer than miui, due to suspicions of the chinese goverment collecting your data, but i dont really believe in any of that.
