Yes, this is us.

Youâ€™ve probably read the news articles today. If you havenâ€™t, please see the following:

https://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/a-fork-in-the-road

So, yes, this is us. LineageOS will be a continuation of what CyanogenMod was. To quote Andy Rubin, this is the definition of open. A company pulling their support out of an open source project does not mean it has to die.

Check back for more information on Tuesday.

Infrastructure Status & Official Builds

Weâ€™re working on getting everything operational and would like to thank everyone whoâ€™s reached out offering assistance.

If you havenâ€™t heard back from us, you should in the next week or so.

Current needs:

Build SlavesMust be able to finish (and upload)*make clean && make dist*within an hour, and be capable of running docker.Build MirrorsMinimum 100mbit network connectivity, 1gbit preferred.Minimum 500GB storage space.As a note, weâ€™d prefer non-capped connections with static IPs, and they must be in some sort of professional hosting company (ie, datacenter, colocation facility, ISP, university, etc). While we appreciate the offers from people with gigabit at home, itâ€™s slightly too hard to manage.

Please contact*infra@lineageos.org*if you are willing to provide either build slaves or build mirrors.

As a reminder: 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 youâ€™ve downloaded from other sources. We will have some more information on when weeklies (or possibly nightlies) will be starting soon.

Thanks!

Update & Build Prep

Alright, alright, alright - it’s nearly ‘go time’ for builds to start flowing. Before everyone gets excited and rushes to download, we want to cover a few important points.

First, we want to thank everyone that stepped forward to assist with the infrastructure (and offers continue to pour in). Thanks to you all, all infrastructure pieces are lighting up ‘Operational’ on our lovely status page.

Additionally, our Download Portal, Install stats page (yep, that’s 50k+ unofficial installs already!) and Wiki are all live. Notably, all three of these sites (and this blog) are open sourced - you can contribute to them via our Gerrit instance! Bear with us if these sites look bare at the moment, they will grow with content and design as we continue marching forward.

On to the fun stuff - build roster, release process and other details:

The build roster is ever growing, but we are supporting Marshmallow and Nougat capable devices.We’ll list the 80+ devices in a separate post.Our release cadence will be ‘weekly’ by default (to be nice to all the donated hardware).We will NOT be shipping root baked into the ROM.Root will be a downloadable zip based install similar to gapps installation (only need to flash it once).Home builders that want to bake su back into the ROM can use the command ‘export WITH_SU=true’ prior to building.Our official builds will all be signed with a private key for authentication and signature permission controlThis will not break, prevent or stop any ‘unofficial’ builds.Key verification info can be found on the wiki Verifying Build Authenticity page

Regarding installation, we recommend that users wipe when switching to LineageOS, and reinstall their gapps. However, we recognize that this can be time consuming, so we are offering an EXPERIMENTAL (read as, if it fails, you’ll have to wipe anyways) solution.

Alongside the ‘weekly’ release for your supported device, we’ll provide an EXPERIMENTAL data migration build.This build will allow you to ‘upgrade’ from CM to the signed LineageOS weeklyThis build may wipe permissions (you’ll have to re-allow app permissions), but should retain all user dataThis build will be watermarked with an ugly banner to ensure that you don’t permanently run this EXPERIMENTAL release, and upgrade to a normal weekly after.The process for this installation will be as follows:Install EXPERIMENTAL migration build on top of cm-13.0 or cm-14.1 build (don’t try to install LineageOS 13.0 on top of CM 14.1, that will not work).RebootInstall LineageOS weekly buildRebootRe-setup your application permissions

Given the EXPERIMENTAL nature of this process, we are going to remove this option in two months time.

Look for builds to start rolling out this weekend!

Last week in LineageOS

WRITTEN ON FEBRUARY 13, 2017 BY HARRYYOUD

Lots of people have been asking for changelogs, so we’ll be making one for people who don’t want to trawl through Gerrit. If you want to know everything that’s changed in the last week or so, check*our Gerrit. We will refrain from adding changes for each device, as this would take too much time. Instead, things that have changed for everybody, new devices added to the roster, or*major*changes to devices (eg cm13->cm14.1, or massive breaking bug has been fixed) will be reported.

What’s changed then?

Removed AOSP Soundrecorder and CyanogenMod Screen Recorder, which have been replaced with our homegrown app, dubbed “Recorder”. This handles both sound and screen recordingCM*Lineage Wallpapers have returnedNew touchscreen gestures interface for devices that support it with customizable actionsA new website design, courtesy of*Aykut Yilmaz

It really doesn’t look like much, but*lots*of changes are happening, but most are behind the scenes things, and little edge bug fixes
