    First Lineage

    If you have been following Android news lately then you may know that the CyanogenMod project has been shut down. The homepage for Cyanogen Inc. is down since last week. However, a new group of developers have taken over the very popular open source Android project and has now been officially named Lineage OS. The Lineage sources are very similar to that of CM and only the name has been changed for now – with little tweaks here and there. With a new set of developers, the user interface may gradually change and some new features shall be added in the future. The official builds of Lineage OS 14.1 based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat are on their way. Update: Official Lineage OS 14.1 builds are available for download.

    As the Lineage sources and project files have been shared on Github, etc. the first builds of Lineage OS 14.1 running Android 7.1.1 Nougat and 6.0.1 Marshmallow with LOS 13 have started showing up. Some of the builds listed below are unofficial and possess some bugs. So you may not be able to use them as a daily driver. We will be listing the official builds once they are available on the developer website. So stay tuned.

    Meanwhile, check out the list of devices to be receiving the official builds of Lineage OS 14.1 below. Also download the unofficial builds that are available right now. Flash the ROMS as any other custom ROMs like CM 14.1 via TWRP. The installation instructions for Lineage OS are listed below along with the compatible Gapps and SuperSu for root.
