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.

It's based on 7.1.1 actually.

not released at time.

1. Did anyone offer servers for Lineage? (XDA)
2.With devices will have official support?

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

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?

lineageos for 5t

Any idea why we don't have lineageos for 5t yet or when it will be available

Because it would be wasting time to put hard work on old 14.1 Lineage when 15.1 will come up. But there is no official release date.! Read Lineage Changelog

i have build Lineageos for 5t build i cant test if it is gonna boot or not because i own a oneplus 5, so if some one want to test it...

One question before I flash the lineageos on 5t,I have downloaded the zip file from the link and it says lineageos 15 which is based oreo so wouldn't my 5t need to have oreo bootloader in order to be able to successfully flash and boot? Since 5t runs on nougat wouldn't it be more sensible to flash lineageos nougat rather than oreo? Do you have any lineageos nougat build for 5t that I can test as well incase lineageos 15 doesn't flash or boot up
Edit: couldn't flash ended up with error 7

Careful. I flashed Liquid Remix 8.1 and it wiped my internal storage. Not saying this will happen to you, but make a backup on your PC!

for now i reccomend all developers to build a los 14.1... because for now there are these stable sources and the base of this device is android 7.1.1
i like lineage and need burn in protection features
oreo will be later and probably lineage will skip los 15 and pass to los 15.1 based on 8.1 oreo

That is because liquid remix you are supposed to be running decrypted. It is stated in OP5 thread in flashing instructions.

I didn't read their thread. Just got a flash able zip from their web host. Figured it was due to encryption.

Well then to be honest, you have no one to blame other then yourself for that fail. Never flash something without reading the thread on it. Bad things happen as you learned.

Re-read my original post. I am warning others about it, not blaming anyone. I lost no data (other than the zips I was flashing), merely noted the wipe.

Are any Nougat builds still being maintained for H811?

Getting new features is nice I guess, but Oreo just has too many bugs. I miss Lineage 14.1 where everything "just worked."

Have u tried cypher...android open source cypher project

Thanks, but that one doesn't seem to be maintained either - just a handful of builds during the month of April.

In which case, you're out of luck
Those are the most recent you are going to get (all work is focused on Oreo and soon Pie)

Question Why we still don't have LineageOS 19?

Why we still don't have LineageOS 19?
What is missing ?

I asked luk and he told me build quality is not enough good in his opinion (that was month ago)

A couple Asus and Pixels got it so far, according to this post.
https://www.xda-developers.com/lineageos-19-android-12/

Kernel source is here but, judging by the performance of the stock rom, it's probably not great as a stable base :
GitHub - OnePlusOSS/android_kernel_oneplus_sm8350 at oneplus/SM8350_S_12.0_9Pro
Contribute to OnePlusOSS/android_kernel_oneplus_sm8350 development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
OnePlus themselves seem to have been pushing 12.1 to earlier models and are probably just going to go for a better Android 13 experience for the 9/10 models.
Even Google has made a mess of Android 12 on their own Pixels.
You can always check the OnePlus github at the url above and search for the chipset which you can confirm using the GSMArena page for the phone :
OnePlus 9 Pro - Full phone specifications
www.gsmarena.com
When you do, you'll see the latest revisions pushed by OnePlus along with the Android base, SM8350_S_12.0 in the above case. If you don't see the current version then there's no kernel source pushed by OnePlus which means custom rom modders need to try using previous kernel source. That's why all the Android 12 roms have been using the Android 11 kernel and why the phone had to have OxygenOS 11 before flashing

Until now yes but judging by what was said above, even the A12 kernel isn't up to scratch for custom roms.

Question When will there be a custom rom for ANDROID 13?

I'm waiting!

Whenever you see the first sightings of AOSP A13 then we'll start to see custom roms, after that Lineage will build and then we'll likely see more roms as many use lineage base

soon

Any millennium now....

There is already a Evolution X alpha build of Android 13 for lemonades (works on both lemonadep [OnePlus 9 Pro] and lemonade [OnePlus 9]). With that being said, I do not recommend using it as your daily driver. We are likely not gonna see a relatively stable version of Android 13 for a few weeks or months at least. If you want get the link for the Evolution X Android 13 alpha then you can find it under their SourceForge.

Thanks for confirming, previous builds on Android 12 were unified for our OnePlus 9 Pro. So it is a slightly confusing that they aren't for Android 13 yet. I guess if you give it a little bit, they should push a unified build for Android 13, as the device maintainer for us is actually one of the core dev team members that work the Evolution X source. Another thing that makes it rather likely that we will be getting it soon is that they are already starting to release Android 13 builds on certain devices like the K20 Pro/Mi 9T, albeit they aren't stable which is expected for such a new version.

yes, no need to be in such a hurry either, I bet Lineage will try an a13 version soon too, but unlikely to be stable for use soon, we are still polishing the a12 with our latest firmware

If the past is any indication, I don't think we'll see anything related to Lineage 20 show up in the LOS Gerrit until later this year or early next year. They're always a bit slower out of the gate with new Android releases, but that's usually to their advantage, as their initial releases are usually much more stable. Any Android 13 ROMs that come out now can definitely be categorized as "bleeding edge," and if you rely on your phone as a daily driver... well, I wouldn't trust them right now on mine. Best to wait out the initial teething period is my philosophy.

First LineageOS 19.1 Builds were relased at 26 april 2022, while android 12 debut was in october 2021. At least six months of wait...

Which means that it's likely we'll see the first LineageOS 20 builds some time in January or February 2023. Though, perhaps it won't take quite as much work as it did going from Android 11 to 12, since 13 is more of an iterative update than the substantial one that 11-->12 was. I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

How about we work on the stability of custom A12 ROMs first? Remember, the ROMs can sometimes only be as good as their sources they come from.

Never saw the need to move beyond OOS 11.2.10.10 and Magisk 23, especially after seeing the reactions to OOS 12. When OOS 13 comes out, I'll wait for a couple of months before deciding if I want it. My phone is not a toy.

In my honest opinion A13 has a better chance of being more stable the A12.1 roms as the transition from A11 to A12 was quite the jump but A13 isn't that large of an update and therefore hopefully after proper sources are released it shouldn't be all that bad. I do however think it would be a waste of time to build anything before OOS13 vendor comes out because it'd just be a hassle to rebase that soon
