Lineageos rom

Recently, the news that Cyanogen is dead took the internet by storm. CyanogenMod was the biggest and most widely used custom ROM for Android devices. Due to internal conflicts and disputes with Cyanogen, CyanogenMod has been discontinued. All cyanogen services, including custom OS and the nightly builds for all supported devices, are no longer supported and they will not receive any future OTA updates. This news broke and withered the hearts of many Cyanogen users. Thankfully, soon after a while, the CynagenMod team decided not to break their user’s hearts, and they transitioned CynagenMod into Lineage OS. The successor of CynagenMod. To help you better remember the new name, here is a trick, line-age, pretty simple?

Now that Lineage OS has taken over CyanogenMod as its successor, things are looking pretty good for developers who are using the CM 14 ROM’s on their devices. Cyanogen has backed out their support from CyanogenMod, yet the developers will never stop working on what they have started.

In compliance to the recent update by Lineage OS on their official website, they confirm that official builds will start being available soon enough. Lineage is still in its early development stages, and the source code is available for many smartphones and several of them have already begun to receive unofficial Lineage OS 14.1 builds updates on XDA-developers and other Android based forums. They are still working on a few infrastructure things, which is expected to be set up soon. Also, it has not been confirmed by them if they are going to release the Nightlies or weekly builds. You can expect to find more updates regarding official build releases, supported list of devices and release dates soon to be published on their official site in the coming days.

I expect that devices which were able to run CyanogenMod 13 or 14 should be able to support the new OS. I will also list down the devices that are most likely to get the new OS, and I’ll make sure to update the list regularly so that you don’t have to go through the hassle of finding the correct build for your phone. In this article, I’ll try to tell everything about LineageOS & provide you all the available LineageOS builds for supported devices.

LineageOS – The new Cyanogenmod

Will my device support Lineage OS?

If your device supported CynagenMod 13 or 14 ROM, then there is a 99.99% chance that it will support Lineage OS too. As I mentioned earlier that the source code has not changed, the developers will continue the work with the original CyanogenMod source code; you should expect the corresponding features in Lineage OS as they were in CynagenMod. Although I do expect some design and material changes to give Lineage its new look.

A bunch of unofficial builds of Lineage OS based on Android Nougat (7.1) is already available for some devices. As Lineage OS (earlier CynagenMOD) is starting brand new, it will take a bit of time for the official and stable builds to appear online. However, most of the unofficial build releases can be found on XDA-developers. If you are a budding Android developer or an expert, you can join them in their development project as a tester or developer through XDA.

Why you must install Lineage OS?

One of the biggest and principal reason to install Lineage OS is that CyanogenMod based ROM’s will not be receiving any official support and updates. In short, CynogenMod is dead. Installing Lineage ensures that your device gets regular updates with new features and bug fixes. If you’re not aware of the features of Cyanogenmod, you can check our article about Features of Cyanogenmod & why you must install it.

A large number of Android developers prefer CM over stock ROM’s as it is more stable and offers better & unique features than any stock ROM. I expect the new OS to be more stable than before so that it can be favored for daily use.

Download LineageOS ROM

Many unofficial builds for a bunch of devices are already released. For your ease of access, I have created a table below through which you can easily find out if a build for your device is released or not with the respective download link.

Samsung LineageOS ROMs

[table id=25 /]

Google Nexus LineageOS ROMs

[table id=26 /]

OnePlus LineageOS ROMs

[table id=27 /]

Motorola LineageOS ROMs

Lenovo LineageOS ROMs

[table id=34 /]

Micromax & YU LineageOS ROMs

[table id=35 /]

LineageOS ROMs for other devices

[table id=36 /]

As I have mentioned earlier, only a bunch of devices have got unofficial builds. If your device is not specified or could not be found in the above table, it is most likely that an unofficial build for your device has not been released yet, or is still in the development process. However, as I have promised to update the list regularly, you can check back later to find out if your device is listed or not.

How to install LineageOS ROM

Step 1. Transfer the downloaded LineageOS & GApps zip, in your Android device.

Step 2. Turn off / Switch your device & Boot into Recovery mode. (TWRP recommended)

Step 4. Do not forget to perform a nandroid backup. Goto backup option in TWRP and select all the partitions including System, Data, Boot and swipe right to backup.

Step 5. After performing the ROM backup, go back to the TWRP main menu and tap the wipe button.

Step 6. Then, select Advanced Wipe, as well as Dalvik Cache, System, Data, and Cache (Don’t select Internal storage)

Step 7. Swipe to confirm. Wait for the wiping process to complete.

Step 8. Go to TWRP main menu & click on “Install” option.

Step 9. Locate the LineageOS downloaded zip file & tap on it. Now swipe to Install the ROM.

Step 10. Once the installation process is finished successfully, Again Go to TWRP Main menu, Tap on Install & locate the GApps zip file. Swipe to install GApps Package.

Step 11. From recovery select “reboot” and enjoy. Done.

I hope now you have a clear understanding of what Lineage OS is and how you can download it for your device. To conclude this in the least possible words; Lineage is the continuation of CyanongenMod. CyanogenMod is officially dead, and users will not be receiving any future updates or OTA. Lineage OS, the successor of CyanogenMod, will continue to receive future updates and build releases. Lineage is still in the development process, and it may take some time for the team to set-up a stable camp for their releases, although you can find new versions here. stay tuned with us for more updates about Lineage OS.

Cyanogen Inc. + Cyanogen Mod Shut Down...What does it meannow??(Exclusive)

The Death Of CyanogenMod.... What is Next?

Cyanogen Inc. has finally delivered a bullet to the brain – of CyanogenMod. After years of tumultuous turnovers in the company, Cyanogen recently announced that the company would consolidate all of their efforts into a new Cyanogen Modular OS program.

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. Finally, today the company announced that all Cyanogen services and Cyanogen-supported nightly builds will be discontinued after December 31st, 2016.

"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".

"Last week, we released the final CM-13.0 releases, updated to the latest security patches, in anticipation of what follows.

Yesterday, Cyanogen Inc (Cyngn) announced that they were shutting down the infrastructure behind CyanogenMod (CM). This is an action that was not unpredictable given the public departure of Kondik (cyanogen himself) from the company, and with him our last remaining advocate inside Cyngn’s leadership.

In addition to infrastructure being retired, we in the CM community have lost our voice in the future direction of CM – the brand could be sold to a third party entity as it was an asset that Kondik risked to start his business and dream. Even if we were to regroup and rebuild our own infrastructure, continuing development of CM would mean to operate with the threat of sale of the brand looming over our heads. Then there is the stigma that has grown to be attached to anything named ‘Cyanogen’. Many of you reading this have been champions of clarifying that the CM product and CyngnOS were distinct, yet the stain of many PR actions from Cyngn is a hard one to remove from CM. Given CM’s reliance on Cyngn for monetary support and the shared source base, it’s not hard to understand why the confusion remains.

It will come as no surprise that this most recent action from Cyngn is definitely a death blow for CyanogenMod.

However, CM has always been more than the name and more than the infrastructure. CM has been a success based on the spirit, ingenuity and effort of its individual contributors – back when it was Kondik in his home, to the now thousands of contributors past and present.

Embracing that spirit, we the community of developers, designers, device maintainers and translators have taken the steps necessary to produce a fork of the CM source code and pending patches. This is more than just a ‘rebrand’. This fork will return to the grassroots community effort that used to define CM while maintaining the professional quality and reliability you have come to expect more recently.

CM has served the community well over its 8 long years. It has been our home, bringing together friends from all over the world to celebrate our joy of building and giving. Its apt then that on this Eve of a holiday we pay our respects. We will take pride in our Lineage as we move forward and continue to build on its legacy".

Thank you & Goodbye,
The CyanogenMod Team

The Future of Development:-

It’s difficult to say what will happen from here on out. There are multiple scenarios that could play out in the future:

1. LineageOS really takes off, finding significant support from individual developers who pledge to continue maintaining LineageOS for their respective devices. Furthermore, the team is able to acquire a source of funding, probably by donations, to provide hosting and a server to build nightlies. Given that other smaller Android distributions have been able to find servers for building nightlies, this is not inconceivable.


2. LineageOS takes off, but the operation will be toned down. Given the scale of CyanogenMod’s operation and the massive amount of funding that was contributed by Cyanogen Inc. to maintain support for devices, it may be difficult to find support for developing on lesser known devices. In this case, many devices may suffer a development drought as the development community largely relied on CyanogenMod to provide a stable branch that individuals could then fork. Popular devices will be less likely affected given the high demand for development and high amounts of developmental talent attracted to the device.


3. LineageOS fails to take off. No matter how you look at it, this would be terrible for the enthusiast community. The issues mentioned in #2 would be further compounded, and many users would lose access to one of the most stable, longest lasting custom ROMs in the Android world. As for developers, this would mean that they would have to look elsewhere for a stable base. For example, XDA Recognized Developer SultanXDA has told us that he would not touch LineageOS if it does not have a stable branch and might instead turn to AOSPA as a base. Luckily for OnePlus owners, this won’t pose a problem, but for devices that do not have a stable AOSPA base (and in the future, will not have a stable CM base), it’s hard to say what will happen.

All of these are hypothetical scenarios of what’s indeed a fork in the road for CyanogenMod and Custom ROM developers. Whatever scenario plays out will depend entirely on how much support LineageOS receives from the development community. Whether or not the death of CyanogenMod spells the death of stable custom ROM development on certain devices will be up to developers and users alike. If you’ve used a CyanogenMod ROM in the past and would like to show your support, now is a critical time to ensure that spirit of the project lives on in LineageOS.

Lineageos rom

What is Lineageos ? Linage os is a new avatar of Cyanogenmod.

Hey, guys welcome to Lineageosrom as all of us know that now cyanogen mod inc. is no more, Yes you have listen right cyanogen mod Inc. launched its last rom CM 14.1 based on nougat and it is repacling by lineage Os.

You guys are wondering or may be you are little bit confused what’s going on stay tuned with us we will clear all the doubts.

What is lineage Os?

LineageOS is new a custom rom company which is going to continue Cyanogen mod. No one knows how good will their roms? They will continue Custom roms in future.

What is stock Rom?

A stock ROM is the version of the phone's operating system that comes with your phone when you buy it.

What is Custom Roms?

A Custom Rom is operating system which can replace our phone android system. Custom roms are really good as in comparion of stock roms, it has good feature less bugs and nice themes.
However, the term “ROM” is not necessarily used correctly when talking about the third party custom firmware. A “ROM” in computer science is “Read-Only Memory” which can only be read and not written to more than once in the most basic sense. Smartphones and tablets use flash memory to store the Android OS, so the correct term should be “custom firmware”. This naming convention may lead to some confusion when talking about custom ROMs, just remember, the firmware is being changed, not any ROMs that might be in the device.

What is cyanogenmods?

CyanogenMod is one of the best known custom ROMs out there, enabling millions of users around the world to customize their devices to the fullest. With the popularity of CyanogenMod, the developer community has enjoyed great success over the years. So much so, that the people behind CyanogenMod started Cyanogen Inc, and developed partnerships with phone manufacturers to have CyanogenMod as the default operating system. This commercial wing of CyanogenMod hasn’t been as successful as the community driven version, however more about that later.

Cyanogenmods is company which makes best custom roms for android devices but company is going to be shut down and there will be a new custom rom company name Lineage Os . Cyanogenmods inc. announced this before Christmas that there Official site has been closed, for more information check in google.

Difference B/w Lineage Os and cyanogenmod

I think there will be less difference b/w in lineage Os and cyanogenmod, because lineage Os is going to continues cyanogenmod.

How To Flash Lineage OS Rom in android device

• Unlock your device’s bootloader – This can be very difficult in some cases and is pretty much different for all devices. This will wipe the device clean, so make sure to backup any important data.


• Install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM Recovery. This can be done a few different ways, but the best way is through the terminal. Simply download the .img file from the respective site then save it to your computer in a convenient location. once downloaded, make sure ADB and the Android SDK are installed on your computer and working properly. In the terminal or command prompt

 type “fastboot flash recovery (location of recovery on   computer)“.

An example would be: “fastboot flash recovery c:recovery.img”. Once this is finished, reboot your device. The device should boot normally.

• Flash the ROM zip file, it is basically the same for each recovery, just click “install” then navigate to the folder with the file or if you are using CWM Recovery click “Install” then “Choose zip from SDCard” then navigate to the folder with the file. Then accept the prompt to install it, do not reboot yet, stay in recovery.


• Flash GApps zip – GApps stands for Google Apps, since these are owned by Google, CyanogenMod can not come pre-installed with them, so just simply flash the zip like you would for the ROM right after installing CyanogenMod. Android 5.1.x GApps and Android 6.0 GApps.


• Reboot! If everything went according to plan, the device should boot into CyanogenMod.

3. Remove Bloatwares, Apps like Facebook, Chrome Keep sucking your Ram & battery by running in background So, Among the smartphone geek crowd, applications like these are referred to as “bloatware:” they do nothing but bloat the software by existing as unnecessary applications.


4. Tweak your phone like : Increase Video streaming speed, Increase Wifi Speed, Increase SIM detecting Speed, Increase SD read/write speed.


5. Most Important & Best part, Install Custom Kernel & Custom ROMS ( I will explain about it in Installing Custom ROM section Custom ROM section )


6. Finally, Truly Own your Device, Make it appear in the way you want.

[caption id="attachment_4869" align="alignleft" width="200"] Uninstall Bloatwares from Android[/caption]

Having a rooted Android phone is also beneficial because there are several Android applications which are extremely useful and also require root menu access like Greenify ( Stops Background apps until you don’t use it. ). Other applications allow you to uninstall bloatware entirely, and so on, and so forth, from basic functions to extremely technical on a level that even I fail to entirely understand.
But like Uncle Ben Parker said in Spider-Man: “With great power, comes great responsibility.” Benefits of rooting an android phone to gain access to the functions and menus normally inaccessible to the typical cell phone user are many, but rooting is not a process that should be taken on halfheartedly. These benefits come at a cost– almost all manufacturers warranties become void once you root your phone. So, either be prepared to accept that, or learn how to “un-root” in case of an emergency.

How to Root?

[caption id="attachment_4870" align="alignleft" width="197"] How to root Android[/caption]

I think this much Introduction is enough for you to understand what is rooting all about & what are its Benefits. So, Finally you have decided to root your phone. Let’s Begin :

  Rooting Can be done by two method either from Computer or from your Android phone itself. I prefer through PC as its safe & works everytime.

1. From your Phone : You can use apps like Framaroot, Towelroot etc

   For Complete Method head on to this Page : Root Your Android From Mobile.

2 . From Computer : You can use Softwares like Root genius, Kingo ROOT, Unlock Root all this apps are once click root, that means they will root your smartphone in just once click. For Complete Method Head on to this page :  Root Your Android from Computer.

What After Root?

Check Root:

            First thing to do before starting up customization is Check whether your device is properly rooted or not.You can do that by a number of ways, there are plenty of root checker apps that available in the Play Store. Try this App Given Below

[appbox googleplay com.joeykrim.rootcheck]

Check for Root Apps:

  If you don’t want to install Custom ROMS or custom recovery & like to stay with your Stock rom then here is a solution, you can install Apps which require root permissions to remove Pre-installed Apps, Increase free ram, Customize themes etc. You can check on our Top 10 Rooted Apps. Best one to be used is Greenify & Titanium Backup.

Install Custom Recovery (CWM / TWRP):

                Custom recovery  would replace the stock recovery that is Pre-installed on your Android Device. A Custom Recovery would allow you do various tasks and really make your life simple. It allows you to flash “Zips” right from the phone itself, there would be no need to use a PC Tool to do that in case. Wipe and manage cache partitions and also it allows to manage Nandroid Backups. So installing a custom recovery on your Android Smartphone stands third, in the list of things to do after you root your Android Smartphone. CWM is abbreviated form of Clockworksmod Recovery & TWRP is abbreviated form of  TeamWin Projects.

1. For Mediatek (MTK) based phone install CWM by this method : CWM for Mediatek.


2. For other CWM’s you can check our site under your respective brand.

Increasing internal memory:

Also some Android Smartphones have really low internal memory like some low end smartphones from Smasung, HTC, Karbonn etc, which only have around 300 MB of internal memory, and in that case installing apps becomes a pain . As after installing the most required apps like, Facebook, Whatsapp, etc the memory is almost full and it won’t allow you to install any further app. But do no worry, if you have rooted your Android Smartphone, there is no problem. You can simply increase the internal memory of your Android Smartphone, and it definitely a must thing to do after you root android smartphone, if you specifically have a smartphone with very low memory.

• Follow this tutorial  : Increase internal memory.

Finally Installing Custom ROMS:

[caption id="attachment_4872" align="aligncenter" width="636"] How to Install Custom ROM in Android[/caption]

Being able to install and flash custom ROMS  is one of the biggest reason that today so many people are rooting their Android Smartphones. Why stick to the old and monotonous interface of the device, when you can get much more interactive looks as well as much more great tweaks with custom ROMs. You can flash custom ROMs and just sit back and enjoy the interface on your Android Smartphone. Actually that is one of the most entertaining advantage of rooting an Andriod Smartphone. Karbonn users can find custom roms for their device on our blog.

Find a custom ROM for your device & install it by this method : How to Install Custom ROM.

Xposed

If you would have used Xposed in your Samsung devices, you might be familiar with random bootloops & force close after installing it. Samsung made a lot of changes to ART without providing the sources so official Xposed doesn’t provide any support for Samsung devices & clearly says, Xposed framework will cause bootloops in Samsung devices, you must try unofficial xposed builds meant for Samsung devices.

If you are new to Android rooting, you might have heard people saying the first they install after rooting their device is Xposed framework as it gives them freedom to customize system files without installing custom ROMs. In this guide, we’ll learn How to install Xposed framework in Samsung devices without bootloops & other errors. This Xposed supports all other Samsung devices (GS5, Note 4/5, GS6E, GS6E+…) running Touchwiz Android 5.1.1 and 6.0.

Now what exactly is Xposed framework? Xposed framework uses root access to directly access core Android resources and utilize them to run different modules on the device that bring new features to the OS. The potential here is virtually unlimited, and many developers have already started switching to it for delivering their mods. So, how do you get the framework on your device? For devices other then Samsung, you can follow this method: How to install Xposed framework & Installer. Now lets learn about installing Xposed in Samsung devices. We’ll install unofficial Xposed in Samsung devices. Now, this unofficial Xposed version does NOT break support for any other device supported by official Xposed, which means it still support all devices supported by the official one, this version adds Samsung and XZ compressed odexes support.

Disclaimer:  Please follow this guide at your own risk. DevsDroid won’t be held responsible for any bricked devices. We have tested this method in some our devices & it works perfectly fine.

Prerequisites:

1. You must have a Rooted Samsung Smartphone. (What is Rooting?).


2. A Custom Recovery like TWRP/CWM.


3. Stock (Odexed and Deodexed) 5.1/6.0 Roms


4. (Optional) Backup all your data & Apps before flashing the Xposed framework file to avoid data in case anything goes wrong or your device doesn’t boot up.

How to install Xposed framework in Samsung devices

Step 1. After Android Kitkat, one cannot install Xposed directly i.e just an APK. You first need to flash the Xposed framework. Similarly, we first have to flash Xposed framework in our Lollipop/Marshmallow device.

Step 2. Download the given files at the end of the post & transfer it in your Internal memory/SDcard.

Step 3. Now Switch off your device. Press & hold the required key combinations. For devices having hardware keys, the key combination is mostly Volup+home+Power button to boot into Recovery mode.

[caption id="attachment_4824" align="alignnone" width="925"] Installing Xposed Framework in Android M through TWRP[/caption]

Step 4. After booting into recovery mode, Goto Install zip from SDcard (in CWM) or Install (in TWRP) & locate the Xposed framework file that you transferred in your device.

Step 5. Select the zip & Install. Wait for the Installation to complete.

Step 6. Now, Wipe Dalvik & System cache. Reboot your device.

Step 7. You will now have to install the Xposed framework APK on your Android device. Using a file manager like ES File Explorer, navigate to the location where you had saved the APK and install it. If you get an error saying “Unknown installations blocked” similar to this:

[caption id="attachment_4825" align="aligncenter" width="610"] Android Unknown Sources[/caption]

Just Goto Settings App > Security > Enable Unknown sources. Now install the Xposed app.

Step 8. To check if everything is done perfectly, launch Xposed App & goto Framework. It would show app_process and Xposed Bridge with some no. below Active.

Download Xposed Framework for Samsung devices

For Android Lollipop

1. ARM: Download (devices that are running arm32 operating system like Galaxy S5, Note4 & others)

1. ARM: Download (devices that are running arm32 operating system like Galaxy S5, Note4 & others)


2. ARM64: Download (devices that are running arm64 operating system like Galaxy S7/S6, Note5 and all their variants.)

Don’t know what to choose? Don’t worry, it won’t break your device if you install a wrong one. If you install a wrong one, the installer will simply tell you that you should go with the other version.

Xposed Installer APK

Xposed installer app acts as a middle man between Xposed framework & xposed modules which manages all the system functions: Download

Xposed

If you have rooted your smartphone to enhance its performance & customize. But don’t know where to start from, Xposed is the answer. Xposed allows you to make system level changes without having to mess with codes & custom roms. Xposed uses modules, small applications that plug directly into the Android operating system and give you unprecedented control over the look and feel of your phone. Therefore, any changes made can be removed easily by simply disabling the modules and rebooting.

Xposed Framework is available for all 4.1+ devices. However, not all of the existing modules work on Marshmallow. If you are on Android Marshmallow & Android Lollipop, you can refer How to Install Xposed in Lollipop & Marshmallow. We will look at 10 best Xposed modules of 2016 which packs tones of options.

Top 10 Xposed Modules of 2017:

[button color="" size="" type="square" target="" link=""]1[/button] Gravity Box:

[caption id="attachment_4808" align="alignnone" width="696"] Gravity Box[/caption]

Gravity Box has always been among the biggest reasons to use Xposed. It’s an unbelievably comprehensive tool for modding and enhancing the Android user interface. Almost no part of the Android experience cannot be tweaked or improved with this utility. This module allows you to add extra functionality to your keys like Double pressing Volume keys to skip tracks. Some of the most famous features are CyanogenMod Pie Controls, Launcher tweaks, Hardware key actions, Power tweaks & Notification control (per-app notification LED/sounds/vibrations).

[button color="" size="" type="square" target="" link=""]2[/button] Amplify Battery Extender

[caption id="attachment_4809" align="alignnone" width="696"] Amplify[/caption]

If you are one of those whose battery gets drained very quickly after updating to Lollipop/Marshmallow then Amplify might be the solution. It’s perhaps best seen as a companion to that other top battery-saving app, Greenify, which also has some Xposed functionality. If you want Maximum battery life, use Amplify + Greenify.

What Amplify actually does is, Amplify takes care of wakelocks. These are when an app prevents the phone from entering deep sleep. If you’ve ever gone to bed with a fully charged phone, and woken up to discover the battery has lost 40% overnight, it’s highly likely that wakelocks will be the culprit. Amplify helps to prevent that from happening.

[button color="" size="" type="square" target="" link=""]3[/button] XPrivacy

[caption id="attachment_4810" align="alignnone" width="696"] XPrivacy Xposed Module[/caption]

XPrivacy is a permissions manager that enables you to control which functions and data on your device apps can actually access. It has long been one of the most popular Xposed modules. With the introduction of granular permissions controls, it looked like Xposed might become redundant for Android 6.0 users, but it still serves a purpose. In Marshmallow, all apps automatically get the Internet permission. This will normally be used for benign purposes, like gathering analytics data or delivering ads, but it could be a potential security issue too.

With XPrivacy, you can ensure that only those apps you want going online are allowed to do so.

A lot of apps take liberties with your system resources, setting themselves to load whenever you boot your device. It can lengthen the startup time and waste power until Android 6.0 decides to close them down itself. You can nix that with BootManager. Just choose the apps you don’t want automatically launching and then reboot your phone. It’s like a more intelligent version of a task killer, and it can keep your less-used apps quiet until you actually need them. P.S: Navigation battery module name is Battery Home Icon
