LineageOS 24.0
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
LineageOS 24.0 launches based on Android 17 with WebUSB flash tools and app updates.
LineageOS 24.0 is based on Android 17 and arrives earlier than expected due to a streamlined rebase. Security patches from August 2025 to October 2026 are merged for branches 18.1 through 24.0. New features include a Canvas image editor, WebUSB browser-based flash tools for ADB, Fastboot, Amlogic Burn, and Samsung Odin protocols, Material Design 3 Expressive app updates, and an A11Y accessibility audit. Legacy devices with Linux kernels 4.4 and 4.9 are limited to LineageOS 22.2. Generic targets now support x86_64 PCs, Apple Silicon Macs, and Snapdragon X laptops experimentally.
What commenters are saying
Commenters express gratitude for keeping old devices alive, especially Pixel 4a and OnePlus 6T users, though some note battery degradation or unfixed modem vulnerabilities. A split emerges between GrapheneOS and LineageOS: GrapheneOS offers faster updates and better security but limited device support, while LineageOS prioritizes breadth. Users share tips on installing GCam for better camera quality, hiding root from banking apps with Magisk, and note that OnePlus 6/6T lack official 24.0 builds due to strict kernel requirements. The generic x86_64 and Apple Silicon target sparks interest for refurbishing old laptops as Android devices.
