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?

What Lineage Os could do for CAF roms? Without cyanogen inc, CAF support will die, isn't?

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.

Well :good: understood. I am testing it properly. I think so it will be better.
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?

Bugs are normal in testing roms

This forum is NOT a forum for your to request Lineage for your device! It's a forum for the discussion of development of LineageOS. These thread I'm already seeing pop up about people asking for Lineage posts are ridiculous. This isn't a place to come and ask for people to port ROMs to your device, so please don't treat it as such. Thank you.

Check here:

They are still in the process of rolling out the initial builds, otherwise, check the specific forum for your device.

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!

you guys impede development

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.

Help Development
What's the best way to assist with developing Lineage OS for the 5T?
Options (AFAIK):
Donate somewhere
Test builds on device and report bugs

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.

FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED...

Where is the source code? No developer thread without sources!

You clearly Not Reading The Thread Fully. My Friend Developed The Rom. He Says He Modified The Kernel From Los 14.1 . Maybe He used The Lineage OS 14.1 Source Code And Modified According To His Needs. I Don't Know About All That Stuff. I'm Just Posting His Rom Cuz He Doesn't Have This Phone and i tested This Rom. Hope It Helps
