C. Scott Brown \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n
TL;DR<\/p>\n
The LineageOS team has released LineageOS 23.0, bringing Android 16 to over 100 different devices.
\nThis release is based on the initial Android 16 release due to Google\u2019s delay in releasing QPR1\u2019s source code.
\nLineageOS 23.0 includes updated versions of Aperture and Twelve, a new TV launcher, and major foundational improvements for future device support.<\/p>\n
The golden era of custom Android ROMs<\/a> may be long over, but plenty of people still install them in 2025. The reasons for doing so vary: some want a more stock-like Android experience, others want to hold on to their existing device a little longer, and many want to repurpose an old device or move away from Google\u2019s services.<\/p>\n The most popular option is by far LineageOS<\/a>, a project that provides a close-to-stock experience with additional features and its own set of apps. Today, the team behind the project released LineageOS 23.0 for over 100 devices, bringing its own flavor of Android 16<\/a> to a variety of older models.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n Why LineageOS 23.0 and not 23.1?<\/p>\n Mishaal Rahman \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n LineageOS 23.0 is based on Android 16\u2019s initial stable release from June rather than the more recent Android 16 QPR1<\/a>. This is because Google still hasn\u2019t publicly released the source code for Android 16 QPR1<\/a>, preventing the LineageOS team from merging the new code. The Android 16 QPR1 source code is only available to Google\u2019s OEM partners, a group that, of course, does not include hobbyist projects like LineageOS.<\/p>\n In the past, Google would typically publish the source code for new Android releases to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP<\/a>) within a day or two of the update\u2019s rollout to Pixel devices. This time, however, Google delayed the release of the source code for unknown reasons. This left the LineageOS team with a choice: either wait for the source code drop or proceed with the release as is. The team chose the latter, which is why today\u2019s release is named LineageOS 23.0 and not LineageOS 23.1.<\/p>\n On top of that, Google\u2019s recent shift to \u2018risk-based\u2019 security updates<\/a> means that LineageOS, as well as most other custom ROMs, can no longer ship as many security fixes as they used to each month. This is because Android\u2019s monthly security bulletins no longer include patches for all addressed vulnerabilities, but rather only those that Google deems \u201chigh risk.\u201d Patches for the vast majority of other vulnerabilities are now only released in quarterly bulletins. This, combined with Google no longer sharing the source code for patches included in its monthly bulletins, means the LineageOS team has to wait for Android\u2019s quarterly releases to fix most security issues.<\/p>\n And if things don\u2019t sound bad enough, the LineageOS team has had to drop first-class support for Pixel devices. Pixel devices used to be guaranteed \u201cday one\u201d devices for LineageOS, but they\u2019re now treated the same as any other OEM\u2019s devices. This is because Google no longer publishes Pixel device trees<\/a>, HALs, or configs, and they only offer kernel source code as history-stripped tarballs. Thanks to the efforts of projects like CalyxOS<\/a>, Pixel devices will still be supported, but they\u2019re no longer shoe-ins for day one releases.<\/p>\n Despite these issues, the LineageOS team is pushing forward, giving users the latest version of Android with the latest security fixes it can legally access.<\/p>\n What\u2019s new in LineageOS 23.0?<\/p>\n Because LineageOS 23.0 is based on Android 16 and not Android 16 QPR1, some features like Material 3 Expressive<\/a> and Desktop Mode<\/a> aren\u2019t fully implemented. However, all the new features included in the June stable release of Android 16 are present<\/a>. These include the enforcement of edge-to-edge mode, predictive back navigation, improved app adaptivity, and support for Advanced Protection mode.<\/p>\n On the app front, LineageOS 23.0 includes a huge update to Aperture, the project\u2019s custom camera app. The new version of Aperture supports Ultra HDR and RAW capture and comes with a redesigned notification island with dynamic colors and new indicators.<\/p>\n Twelve, the project\u2019s custom music player, has added a \u201cplay random songs\u201d button, a new Now Playing screen with playback statistics, expanded Jellyfin integration, and more.<\/p>\n For TVs, there\u2019s a new home screen launcher called Catapult. It provides a fast, clutter-free interface free of advertisements<\/a> and recommendations.<\/p>\n The release also bundles updated versions of the SeedVault backup solution, Etar calendar app, WebView component, and charging control feature, as well as a new set of ringtones and alarms.<\/p>\n Finally, this version introduces major foundational improvements. It\u2019s now possible to run LineageOS in a virtual machine through QEMU. This work also lays the groundwork to support any device that is compatible with the mainline Linux kernel in the future, a significant step for the project.<\/p>\n What devices does LineageOS support?<\/p>\n With the launch of LineageOS 23.0, the team is updating its support policy for older versions. The development cycle for LineageOS 21 is now officially ending, which means no new devices will be added to that build roster. The team will, however, continue to maintain and add new devices to the LineageOS 22.2 roster.<\/p>\n LineageOS 23.0 will be available starting today for the following devices. You can find the builds on the project\u2019s official download portal. Before starting the installation, we strongly recommend you thoroughly read the specific instructions for your device on the LineageOS wiki<\/a>, as our generalized installation guide<\/a> may not be suitable.<\/p>\n LineageOS 23.0 build roster \u2013 Initial devices In addition, the LineageOS team has announced the following devices have been added to the LineageOS 22.2 (based on Android 15 QPR2) build roster:<\/p>\n Device nameWikiMaintainersMoved fromASUS ZenFone 8sake<\/a>DD3Boh, mikooomich20ASUS Zenfone 5Z (ZS620KL)Z01R<\/a>ThEMarD22.1LG Style3style3lm<\/a>rtx4dLG Velvetcaymanslm<\/a>rtx4dMotorola moto g 5G \/ Motorola moto one 5G acekiev<\/a>basamaryan, Jleeblanch, SyberHexen, Vivekachooz22.1Motorola moto g 5G plus \/ Motorola moto one 5Gnairo<\/a>ItsVixano, Ivanmeler, SyberHexen, zlewchan22.1Nokia 6.1 (2018)PL2<\/a>npjohnson22.1Nokia 7 plusB2N<\/a>Tuan AnhNokia 8NB1<\/a>Tuan Anh21Nothing Phone (1)Spacewar<\/a>zlewchan, ko_ko_konb22.1Nubia Red Magic 5G (Global) \/ Nubia Red Magic 5G (China) \/ Nubia Red Magic 5S (Global) \/ Nubia Red Magic 5S (China)nx659j<\/a>zlewchan20Nubia Red Magic Marsnx619j<\/a>Cyborg2017, rtx4d22.1Nubia Z17nx563j<\/a>BeYkeRYkt21Nubia Z18nx606j<\/a>Cyborg2017, rtx4d22.1OnePlus 12waffle<\/a>chandu078OnePlus 5cheeseburger<\/a>qsnc22.1OnePlus 5Tdumpling<\/a>qsnc22.1OnePlus Nord N20gunnar<\/a>tangalbert919OnePlus Nord N200dre<\/a>tangalbert91921Samsung Galaxy A52 4Ga52q<\/a>Simon151122.1Samsung Galaxy A52s 5Ga52sxq<\/a>Simon151122.1Samsung Galaxy A72a72q<\/a>Simon151122.1Samsung Galaxy A73 5Ga73xq<\/a>Simon151122.1Samsung Galaxy M52 5Gm52xq<\/a>Simon151122.1Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019)gtowifi<\/a>lifehackerhansol21Vsmart Joy 3 \/ Vsmart Joy 3+casuarina<\/a>Tuan Anh, nhglongXiaomi Black Sharkshark<\/a>rtx4d, tdrkDev22.1Xiaomi MIX Fold 2zizhan<\/a>Adrianyyy, ArianK16aXiaomi Mi 11i \/ Xiaomi Redmi K40 Pro \/ Xiaomi Redmi K40 Pro+ \/ Xiaomi Mi 11X Prohaydn<\/a>ikeramat22.1Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Editionursa<\/a>bgcngm22.1Xiaomi Mi 8 Proequuleus<\/a>bgcngm22.1Xiaomi Mi 8dipper<\/a>infrag22.1Xiaomi Mi MIX 2Spolaris<\/a>bgcngm22.1Xiaomi Mi MIX 3perseus<\/a>bgcngm, rtx4d22.1Xiaomi Mi Note 10 \/ Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro \/ Xiaomi Mi CC9 Protucana<\/a>SanyaPilotXiaomi POCO F1beryllium<\/a>bgcngm, warabhishek22.1Xiaomi POCO X3 NFCsurya<\/a>Shimitar, TheStrechh, ikeramat21Xiaomi POCO X3 Provayu<\/a>SebaUbuntu20ZTE Axon 9 Proakershus<\/a>rtx4d, tdrkDev<\/p>\n![\"google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/ "\\"google"){kind=icon}
