currently, lineage os is cyanogenmod only with a different name. But we don't know what they'll do in the future.

Will we be able to dirty flash the first Lineage OS builds over a current CM build or will it require a wipe?

you can dirty flash but you'll need to wipe system partition in TWRP (wipe, advance wipe, system and cache) and after you flash the ROM, reflash GAPPS

Will the new Lineage OS builds fix old bugs inherent in the old CM14.1 nightlies? Since the first CM14.1 build for my phone (HTC one m8), fellow Canadian users have reported that turning on location services resulted in bootloops (this did not occur with CM13). The problem was never fully fixed, and it didn't seem like anybody was working on a solution. It would be great if the new Lineage OS builds would have these old issues resolved.

Why is it that noone wants to support a device with an exynos based proccessor, and will it ever happen? For example noone is developing any AOSP roms for the galaxy s6 edge...

What will happen to those devices which didn't had any maintainer in CM? Eg ZUK Z1!

I would like to ask if Lineage OS will be available on the Huawei P8 Lite

Mostly all devices that had support for official CM13 and CM14 will get Lineage OS. MOSTLY!!!! But no worries, newer devices will have official support too. Just we'll have to wait till the official support list comes up!

Yes, I think so..... CM Theme Engine is one of the best things CM gave us so, obviously, they're not gonna remove it. If they do, I hope they'll add at least some theme engine or substratum.

Samsung makes the Exynos processors and doesn't release the processor source, and it is very difficult to develop on processors when there is no processor sources. Samsung stopped releasing the processor source code after the whole brickbug fiasco.
Additionally, they make it more difficult to develop on Exynos devices by, violating the GPL, (which the kernel is licenced under) by holding back parts of the kernel source code, to where what they provides rarely is enough to create a booting kernel, as is required. This makes it to where we can't really see how they make it work and reverse engineer a working kernel.
Maybe one of the s6 developers will port LineageOS to the S6's.

Lineage os = cyanogenMOD yes eventually they will fix it but lineage os is cyanogen so they will have the exactly the same everything except for name. Big and everything will be carried over.

Various ROMs for GX8 [9/24/16]

So I've been building some roms for this device for a while now and figured I'd share my personal builds. I do not have the time to officially maintain these or provide any support which is why I'm posting them here. Hopefully it doesn't get removed. These have been tested on the US variant.
ROMs I'm currently building weekly-ish:
CM13 - credits to the CM team. Moved. Please see this thread for updates.
Bliss - credits to the CM and Bliss team. As of 8/12/16 this ROM is currently discontinued until if/when the source starts working again. Nothing I can do about this. Last build can be downloaded here.
Resurrection Remix - credits to the CM and RR team. Moved here.
CAF-AOSP - See main thread here.
The device tree, kernel, and vendor stuff is all coming from @surdu_petru He's done an outstanding job on this device. We should all be thankful for the work he has done which has allowed things like CM to work on this device. I have rolled back some of the changes in his latest version to fix some of the issues introduced on his most recent sources. You should all buy him a beer if/when he returns
I'd also like to give credit to @EarlyMon and ncrypt3d for their guidance and willingness to teach a newbie.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you break your phone using these files. Educate yourself before using them.
Installation: Same as the CM13 requirements found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gx8/development/rom-t3342802
Gapps: I've only tested these with opengapps.
Sources:
CM: https://github.com/CyanogenMod
Bliss: https://github.com/BlissRoms
Resurrection Remix: https://github.com/ResurrectionRemix
Device: https://github.com/Huawei-Dev/android_device_huawei_rio
Kernel: https://github.com/Huawei-Dev/android_kernel_huawei_msm8939
Vendor: https://github.com/Huawei-Dev/android_vendor_huawei_rio
9/24/16 - Thread created for resurrection remix in the appropriate forum. This thread is effectively obsolete.
9/17/16 - Now helping build weeklies for the main CM13 thread. Resurrection Remix updated to include latest device fixes and snapdragon camera.
9/8/16 - CM13 discontinued now that the dev has returned. Please see his thread for future updates and give him your thanks. Bliss is still broken. Resurrection remix has been updated to latest sources and includes Sept 2016 security patches. DT2W should be working.
9/1/16 - Weekly updates.
Can you work on his MM Emui version so that it does not cause the flickering issue when flashed? As you have the US model {RIO-L03} i hope.
Huawei has not released M for the US and I haven't heard of any plans to update it. Nothing I can do about that. Unfortunately these roms require the tz.img from the foreign M release for the fingerprint to work. These builds will check to make sure the tz.img matches or the install will fail. Again this is all work done by @surdu_petru.
Long story short, nothing I can do. Yell at Huawei for providing no support in the US for this phone.
You should do a separate topic with changelogs for every rom.
It would look better and cleaner.
Going to test ressurection and bliss.
Where do we report for any bugs?
Best of luck.

They are all the same but each one has its own features regarding customization.
The Bliss Rom and Ressurection were the best ones because they are packed with features that CM doesn't have.
I'd go for Bliss.
Big thanks for the builds... great work... Can someone confirm that d2tw works... For me this option seems to be broken... I tried RR bliss and cm

It's currently broken. These are essentially running an older version of @surdu_petru's code before I started seeing wifi and ril issues on my device.

See link at bottom of OP. Speaking of bliss, that seems to be broken since the last big CM update. New builds are no good until the bliss team fixes it (if they even choose to fix it with CM14 on the horizon).

I don't know. Did the CM13 builds ever work on your device? This uses the same kernel. If it worked there, these should also work.

They are continuing Cyanogenmod. So right now it's very similar but over time it will differentiate. There is no more development for Cyanogenmod. This is now the base.
It's important to note that there are around 4 or 5 base's (that I'm aware of):
AOSP
Lineage
Slim
Omnirom
Exodus
Cyanogenmod has always been one of the most popular but now Lineage will take its mantle. The others are still there and going but don't have the same level of device support (but some believe they are better for it as they can focus on better quality for fewer devices).

I'm loving the rom so far. However there is one issue that I'm having. Any time that I get a call or make a call, the screen doesn't turn on. Suggestions on how I can go about fixing that?

change the appearance settings in the lineage 14.1 for gt-i9300

Please change the appearance settings in the lineage 14.1 for gt-i9300, I would like to at the top are 4 tabs to make it less scroll.
Install stock ROM.

Please change the appearance settings in the main settings, in the lineage 14.1 for gt-i9300.
There are themes in the Play Store that will work on LOS14.1.
If a theme specifies that it's compatible for the CM14.1/Nougat, then it should work on the LOS14.1.
The only caveat to that, which goes without stating, is if it specifically states that it is not for the LOS14.1/LineageOS 14.1 but, so far, i haven't seen that statement for the CM14.1 themes that I use.
This is only from my experience but, I've known to be wrong and, if I am, then can that member specify what and why so i know myself.
Good Luck!

I had asked a similar question to one of the LineageOS (formerly CyanogenMod) Lead Developers and here is a short and sweet summary of the response...
What was performed for the LineageOS ROM's was that they copied all the recent/working build information from the Cyanogenmod ROM's and resumed the build process with the LineageOS rebrand information and so on.
So... The LOS Unofficial (eventually Official) Builds released are actually Cyanogenmod builds that were rebranded to LineageOS and resumed developments.
The version information (ie... 13 & 14.x) were kept to reflect the Android versions...
So the themes within the Play Store that are for the CM13/CM14.x should work on the LOS13/LOS14.x in the same manner.
I did my best to explain it and hope i explained it okay.

good
I didn't installed Lineage OS 14.1 yet(Soon i will ). But if you have FlipFlap in latest builds, you can change themes. It's the cm theme engine port for Lineage OS.
Edit:- If you want to fix a bug or new feature request goto this page. forkbomb444 is the official developer for i9300

[ROM][7.1.2][OFFICIAL] CarbonROM Weeklies/Oreo Beta [Mar 16]

Who's back? We're back.​
CarbonROM is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.
Please feel free to look, build, and use our code at CarbonROM's GitHub... and at CarbonROM Gerrit.
Disclaimer:
While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.
Support:
We spend an astonishing amount of time developing this software. We can't spend much time on XDA as a result, so if you need support, please try the following:
1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has addressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.
2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our website. Carbon FAQ
3) Ask a question in your device forum. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.
4) Ask a question on our IRC channel. Connect to #teamcarbon on irc.freenode.net or click here. You'll find several other Carbon fans and usually one or more devs as well. Please be polite.
We only support Dynamic GApps, reports on force closes with any other packages will be ignored.

Everything else that I've tested so far
Encryption Note: If you're currently decrypted, starting with builds after 0729 you need to flash OOS to go back to encrypted state prior to flashing ROM. If you are decrypted some users are reporting that flashing the ROM and SuperSU will allow the device to boot decrypted - try this method at your own risk - the device may wipe the data partition.
If you find a bug - please report with log
Yay!!

More of a technical question to develop my understanding: Are you (and the other Dev's) all developing your own device trees? Would it make sense to collaborate to get core features working and then diverge into your own projects from a solid base?

There is some of that going on. I'd say that most of the trees (that I've seen) have a similar base (made by mokee and tipsy) with some divergence since then based on rom-specific items.
There are a few TG chats of op5 devs working on a few different things.

In the link that you cited you have an unofficial Twrp, let's remember that there are specific models such as the 4 and 3 gb ram variants, and also those that come with NFC, that Twrp reports more failures than successes.
