CyanogenMod Is Dead, And Its Successor Is Lineage OS

CyanogenMod was the biggest, most widely used custom Android ROM. Now, it has been discontinued, due in part to internal conflicts within Cyanogen Inc. Don't worry, though: A new fork of CyanogenMod called Lineage OS is taking up the mantle, and it will keep most of what you loved about CyanogenMod


Lineage OS Will Replace CyanogenMod, But That's All We Know for Now

Lineage OS will be a fork from CyanogenMod, so it should be comparable to what you're used to in terms of features. At its base level, it should come with everything you're used to, and the first version will likely be as close to the latest stable version as possible, just to get it out the door.
Beyond that, we don't know much else about it. We know that it's being created by many of the same developers who worked on CyanogenMod, that it won't have corporate funding from Cyanogen Inc. and that it will be more "community-focused". What we don't know is when we can expect the first releases, what devices will be supported or how this new project will be funded.
