Will Lineage OS 14.1 be the last official LOS it will ever get? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

The latest version is 15.1. I thought N7 would get 15.1 eventually, but now I get the feeling that 14.1 would be the last official LOS for it. Am I right?
If so, I would like to move to another custom OS.

What's 14.1 based on?

Interesting. Do you know if it works well on the Nexus 7 2013. Mines become slow now, maybe flash this to give it new life. Do you also know if Netflix works ok?

Its difficult to meet the charter of lineage which they began after 15.1 (oreo) for such old device.
But then, never say never. Two separate teams are working on it, lets hope we get official this time.

I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt that LOS 15.1 with Oreo 8.1 is, in fact, running and working fine on my Nexus 7 2013 (flo), can't comment though on the LTE version as there may be other demons to trample on that one. I am amazed at how fast and beautiful the OS actually is.

Zenfone 2 Z00A - CM13 to Lineage OS 13

Does anyone know if development was moved over from Cyanogenmod 13 to Lineage OS 13? Searching through the forums as well as Google doesn't seem to return any builds for version 13. I have an old ZF2 sitting around with CM13 on it still and I'd like to flash over to Lineage but I'm not sure if it was even developed as I'm only able to find 14.1.
Worst case I'll just wipe it, but ideally, I'd like to keep data/settings intact.
Thanks!
AFAIK, when Jason moved over to 14.1, work on 13 stopped

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
5t-Lineageos
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.

Latest versions of Lineage OS for Nexus 5 (hammerhead)

Hi,
I have a Nexus 5 running on the latest stock Marshmallow build, but rooted with Chainfire SuperSu.
I'd like to flash Lineage OS on it, but I understand that the latest Lineage OS doesn't support the Nexus 5.
What are the newest versions that do? I'd like to have it on Nougat or Oreo.
Thanks!

Custom rom is device dependent like that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-lineageos-16-0-nexus-5-t3921162
That's an unofficial build. Are there official builds? Didn't Lineage OS use to support the Nexus 5?

LineageOS 16 on Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 (SM-T310)

Hi everyone,
Looking at GitHub, I noticed that a developer had released the necessary software components for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 to run on LineageOS 16 (Android 9).
Here is the link : https://github.com/hkotsch77/android_device_samsung_lt01wifi
Is there a developer who could compile this with the LineageOS 16 sources please to create the ROM ? Not being a developer, I unfortunately can't do it myself
Thanks
To be honest I do not expect that much of a lineage 16 rom is launched in the way that it will run really laggy. If I already use a custom rom with Android 5 is laggy imagine lineage is 16.... However it might be interesting to see it. Maybe it surprises us

LOs 14.1 runs good on SM T310. Gr8nole's ROMs are really good.

Im glad that you have a good experience with los 14. Un my case my experience is a crap because it is laggy as hell. Currently using cyanogenmod 11and goes great.
