Avid Cyanogen fans are in for some bitter news as the CyanogenMod team has decided to shut down all Cyanogen services and ROM development projects from today. All nightly builds and beta builds of CM ROMs will now be transitioned into Lineage OS for all supported devices that are currently running CM13 or CM14 and later.
On the brighter side, CM ROM fans can rest assured that the Lineage OS will continue to build on the original source code of CyanogenMod. The future looks great for CM 14.1 ROM users as they can now install unofficial builds of Lineage OS 14.1 ROM via XDA and Android communities without risking compatibility issues.
A recent post on the Lineage OS website suggests that the official builds of the new ROM will start rolling out soon. It is, however, not yet known if these will be nightlies or weekly builds.
Prerequisites to get Lineage OS
- Your device must be running CM13 or CM14 and later.
- OEM support for installing third-party custom ROMs or a rooted device with any custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) installed.
As CyanogenMod ROMs will cease receiving any official support starting 1 January 2017, it is imperative to upgrade your device with Lineage OS to enjoy the latest CM features along with a stock-like Android Nougat experience.
