LineageOS releases Android 16 replace for 100+ units

The golden technology of customized Android ROMs is also lengthy over, however quite a lot of other folks nonetheless set up them in 2025. The causes for doing so range: some need a extra stock-like Android enjoy, others need to dangle directly to their present software slightly longer, and plenty of need to repurpose an outdated software or transfer clear of Google’s services and products.

The most well liked possibility is by means of some distance LineageOS, a mission that gives a close-to-stock enjoy with further options and its personal set of apps. Today, the crew in the back of the mission launched LineageOS 23.0 for over 100 units, bringing its personal taste of Android 16 to various older fashions.

LineageOS 23.0 is in line with Android 16’s preliminary strong unencumber from June relatively than the more moderen Android 16 QPR1. This is as a result of Google nonetheless hasn’t publicly launched the supply code for Android 16 QPR1, fighting the LineageOS crew from merging the brand new code. The Android 16 QPR1 supply code is best to be had to Google’s OEM companions, a gaggle that, in fact, does no longer come with hobbyist tasks like LineageOS.

In the previous, Google would generally post the supply code for brand spanking new Android releases to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) inside of an afternoon or two of the replace’s rollout to Pixel units. This time, on the other hand, Google behind schedule the discharge of the supply code for unknown causes. This left the LineageOS crew with a call: both look ahead to the supply code drop or continue with the discharge as is. The crew selected the latter, which is why nowadays’s unencumber is known as LineageOS 23.0 and no longer LineageOS 23.1.

On best of that, Google’s contemporary shift to ‘risk-based’ safety updates signifies that LineageOS, in addition to maximum different customized ROMs, can not send as many safety fixes as they used to every month. This is as a result of Android’s per thirty days safety announcements not come with patches for all addressed vulnerabilities, however relatively best those who Google deems “prime menace.” Patches for nearly all of different vulnerabilities are actually best launched in quarterly announcements. This, blended with Google not sharing the supply code for patches integrated in its per thirty days announcements, manner the LineageOS crew has to look ahead to Android’s quarterly releases to mend maximum safety problems.

And if issues don’t sound dangerous sufficient, the LineageOS crew has needed to drop top quality make stronger for Pixel units. Pixel units was once assured “day one” units for LineageOS, however they’re now handled the similar as every other OEM’s units. This is as a result of Google not publishes Pixel software timber, HALs, or configs, they usually best be offering kernel supply code as history-stripped tarballs. Thanks to the efforts of tasks like CalyxOS, Pixel units will nonetheless be supported, however they’re not shoe-ins for day one releases.

Despite those problems, the LineageOS crew is pushing ahead, giving customers the newest model of Android with the newest safety fixes it might probably legally get entry to.

What’s new in LineageOS 23.0?

Because LineageOS 23.0 is in line with Android 16 and no longer Android 16 QPR1, some options like Material 3 Expressive and Desktop Mode aren’t absolutely carried out. However, the entire new options integrated within the June strong unencumber of Android 16 are provide. These come with the enforcement of edge-to-edge mode, predictive again navigation, progressed app adaptivity, and make stronger for Advanced Protection mode.

On the app entrance, LineageOS 23.0 comprises an enormous replace to Aperture, the mission’s customized digital camera app. The new model of Aperture helps Ultra HDR and RAW seize and springs with a redesigned notification island with dynamic colours and new signs.

Twelve, the mission’s customized tune participant, has added a “play random songs” button, a brand new Now Playing display screen with playback statistics, expanded Jellyfin integration, and extra.

For TVs, there’s a brand new house display screen launcher referred to as Catapult. It supplies a quick, clutter-free interface freed from commercials and proposals.

The unencumber additionally bundles up to date variations of the SeedVault backup resolution, Etar calendar app, WebView part, and charging keep an eye on characteristic, in addition to a brand new set of ringtones and alarms.

Finally, this model introduces primary foundational enhancements. It’s now imaginable to run LineageOS in a digital system thru QEMU. This paintings additionally lays the groundwork to make stronger any software this is suitable with the mainline Linux kernel someday, a vital step for the mission.

What units does LineageOS make stronger?

With the release of LineageOS 23.0, the crew is updating its make stronger coverage for older variations. The building cycle for LineageOS 21 is now formally finishing, which means that no new units shall be added to that construct roster. The crew will, on the other hand, proceed to care for and upload new units to the LineageOS 22.2 roster.

LineageOS 23.0 shall be to be had beginning nowadays for the next units. You can in finding the builds at the mission’s reputable obtain portal. Before beginning the set up, we strongly counsel you totally learn the precise directions on your software at the LineageOS wiki, as our generalized set up information might not be appropriate.
