Lineageos confirmed to take over from cyanogenmod

Everyone Android suffered a shock when the disappearance of CyanogenMod was announced, the custom ROM most used worldwide by users of the Google operating system and the one that has been in charge of keeping updated terminals completely abandoned by their creators. Fortunately it has been officially confirmed that LineageOS takes over from CyanogenMod.

LineageOS Takes CyanogenMod's Legacy

LineageOS is already working hard on its new website so that users can start downloading ROMs for their devices as soon as possible. The first compilations are already arriving based on CyanogenMod 13 and 14.1, so the base operating system that is being used is Android Marshmallow and Nougat. It has also been confirmed that LineageOS ROMs will not come with root as standard but rather that the user will have to flash a.zip file through recovery.

We recommend our guide to the best low-end and mid-range smartphones.

We continue with the good news and that is that the LineageOS compilations can be installed dirty in the terminals that have a CyanogenMod ROM, that is to say that it will not be necessary to make the wipes so that we can keep all our most valuable data. In any case, the most recommended when installing a different ROM is to always make the wipes to avoid possible complications. These first builds are preliminary and must be installed on top of CyanogenMod.

For now everything looks good for LineageOS, let's hope it lives up to it and makes us forget CyanogenMod.
