LineageOS 24.0 Arrives Early, Built on Android 17
LineageOS 24.0 launches based on Android 17, arriving ahead of schedule after a rapid rebase. The release includes security patches through October 2026, a new Canvas image editor, a redesigned Updater with streaming updates, and WebUSB flash tools for ADB, Fastboot, and other protocols. Legacy branches continue to receive patches, and the project marks its 10th anniversary in December 2026.
Yes you read that right: We’re early this year!

I was secretly hoping they'd stop supporting the Pixel 4a so I would have a reason to get a new phone, but no, still there in the list of supported devices. So I guess I'll just keep using that thing another year... Anyway: big thanks to the Lineage maintainers, keeping so many phones from landfill!

>Recently, Contributor 0xCAFEBABE introduced a very different kind of generic target that can be run on various types of bare-metal hardware devices.
>While it’s still in experimental state, it has successfully booted on:
>Common x86_64 PCs
>Apple Silicon Macs
>NVIDIA DGX Spark
>Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series Laptops
That actually sounds awesome! Refurbishing old laptops with Android would be a nice choice alongside with Desktop Linux.

I love LineageOS. I have been using Lineage and previously Cyanogen for many years. This is how Android is meant to be.

When I had kids I noticed that the camera quality was quite bad (e.g. on Samsung Galaxy S5 or S7), so I basically switched back to stock.
Is this still the case? My guess is that Lineage doesn't get the drivers necessary for better quality maybe.

Not all of the builds seem live. Pixel 9 Pro has 24.0, but Pixel 9 has 23.2, for example.

Why are you guys skipping Mi 8 SE? while still supporting older versions than that :thinking_face:
Just trying to understand the reasoning for it.

I am happy with my Poco F3 with lineageos.
Also converted my moms phone, and works better for sure than that chinese crap bloat

Cool; See if this is the time I try using a cuttlefish target + webrtc remoting to drive all those cute privacy intruding apps.
