LineageOS developers have officially published the Android 10 version for LineageOS 17.1. They have published approaches that have been tried and tested for around 52 devices. Because they will be using the latest Android 10 based LineageOS as their base ROM, custom ROMs will usher in a new era for custom ROM developers.
LineageOS is a popular custom ROM in the Android community; we will see many new features in LineageOS 17.1 compared to standard Android. The good news is that LineageOS developers have introduced new features based on the Google Pixel 4 and 4XL Android OS, as well as some unique features of their own.
CyanogenMod was originally the moniker for LineageOS, which was constructed and intended for smartphone users with minimal hardware specs. The key goal was to give the optimum performance while maintaining stability. LineageOS has a dedicated community in which both developers and consumers collaborate to report issues and propose new features.
