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.

For a review.

Thank you for keeping the Mi Pad alive ?

IMO, this is the best MiPad ROM! Thank you so much, Sir!

Smoothest ROM for MiPad

Flashed smoke kernel on top of it. I know it can mess things up.
Will keep updating if that helps or not.

Thanks for developing for Mipad.. Hopefully we can have some other developers who can chip in to help to write wrappers for the camera... (I know not priority)
Thanks a lot!

So, we booted cm12.1 and ported shields kernel. Is it possible to move further? Cm 13 for example? Or cm12.1 based customs.

cm13 would be better but, at this time we should focus on stablizing cm 12.1

Absolutely agree with you. Once cm12 is stabilized we can hope for a marshmallow or even a nougat ROM.
Regarding the graphics, will we get vulkan support?

On nougat, yes we may.
Edit: no nougat for k1 but marshmallow has vulkan so we can get blobs from it once we get marshmallow.

I didn't knew about custom roms. The point was, we can get vulkan if we get marshmallow and as you told, on nougat too.

I think it will be hard work.
We've never got blob sources from xiaomi it can be impossible.
But still, just having marshmallow or nougot would be awsome...
Antutu score can be up to 80000++

Can we have marshmallow which "at least" boots up?
I think it would be quite hard to boot it up with old blobs

Hi, I request the OP to add flash instructions along with which recovery to use. I know it's obvious but still.
I would personally wait for this LP ROM to get stabilized fully with all working features first. Once we have enough dev support and expertise then move to working on MM or Nougat.
I read somewhere here that if LP gets stabilized it's not very tough to get to MM?

If rom is completely source built, not very tough to bump the android version. If we use prebuilt blobs (like in this case) it may be difficult.

Bug : The in-built microphone does not seem to work.

Wow the performance is so promising. Thanks for the effort and keep it up!
11h idle, 1% battery drained. Wow I'm impressed.

Which Nougat ROM (for 815) with latest Android security patches?

Hi!
Thanks for a great forum!
I am going to go MM->N on my G4 but I would like to have current security patches, or at least have one that is as late as possible.
What ROM would you suggest?
Thanks in advance

AOSCP N unofficial. Check out the OP in the official 6.0.0 thread and from the unofficial link there you can get the 4.2 nougat version too

Hmmm
Thanks,
I wonder why the official build isn't N, given that there are N-compatible blobs for everything...
Or is AOSCP a blobfree OS?

No. Every ROM has blobs. AOSCP has moved to O for its official releases and discontinued N as it is old.
However for the G4 there are a few deal bugs (no bt hands free calls and no flashlight tile) that aren't in N (although encryption works on O unlike N)

Hi,
I am using AOSCP Oreo, but do not like that bluetooth is not working properly. Therefore I want to downgrade to Nougat..
Is there any Nougat ROM with the latest security patches from December 2018? The latest AOSCP Nougat version is from April 2018.
Thanks in advance!

Official lineage os 16 for mi 6?

@demon000 lineage os 15.1 is a very good rom but now with pie have been mergen lots of patches, useful features and more...
there is already an unofficial build but it could be better official supported builds weekly with eas and f2fs merged
hope in your answer
if there are any ready developers to build official 16, it will be amazing :good:

there is (almost) no difference between official and unoffical. what do you expect from official los?
according to your forum posting history, you change your rom almost everyday - give your new rom a chance - make at least a one-week test run!

Well, i guess i can tell that xiaomi msm8998 is pretty close to it's official lineage 16.0 release. You shouldn't expect that it somehow runs better then the unofficial variant obviously. Stay tuned

Unofficial Builds Honor 5x 15.1 by @wileyc

A note by @wileyc
These builds are created every Saturday night from a 100% unaltered LineageOS repository, which is synchronized with upstream every day. I must stress that there are NO MODIFICATIONS at all; if it worked/didn't work in the last official Cyanogenmod/LineageOS releases, it works/doesn't work in my builds. At Apple we called these "sustaining builds" -- they keep devices in sync with the latest security patches, but receive no new features.
with android 16.0 a device as with 2gb ram started hanging. Even with the These Zram Compression Tweaks , this device still wasn't performing optimally. Wiley already creating ROMs for many other lineageOs devices for prior generations. So I, had asked him for same if that can be done with HONOR 5x also. And he did that. And as from community i am very thankful to him.
Notes: This flashing procedure is same. If you are coming from any other ROM clean flash is needed. And obvisouly latest gapps.
Please do not ask anything in official to official lineageOs thread. And neither do I or Wiley will be looking at any error. These are builds are coming directly from lineageOs sources.
