Cyanogen and CyanogenMod shut down its operations last month, as promised CyanogenMod is now in the form of LineageOS on a separate site officially. Couple of days back it said that Download Portal, Install stats page and Wiki are all live. Today it has started rolling out builds for devices gradually.

LineageOS builds are now available for

  • Google Nexus 6P (angler)
  • Google Nexus 5X (bullhead)
  • Motorola Moto G4/G4 Plus (athene)
  • Nextbit Robin (ether)
  • Xiaomi Redmi 1S (armani)

You can download if from LineageOS site here. LineageOS builds will be available for most supported devices in coming days and weeks it said that it will list the 80+ devices soon. It also said that it will release weekly builds by default and will not be shipping root baked into the ROM. However, Root will be a downloadable zip based install similar to gapps installation (only need to flash it once).

It is also offering an experimental data migration build that will allow you to ‘upgrade’ from CM to the signed LineageOS weekly. This may wipe permissions (you’ll have to re-allow app permissions), but should retain all user data. If it fails, you’ll have to wipe the data and flash a fresh build manually. The experimental build is temporary and will be removed in two months time.
