The LineageOS project, which produces an
Android-based distribution for mobile devices, has announced the release of
LineageOS 24.0.

We’re a bit sentimental about this release, as it precedes a really fun
upcoming milestone.

On December 24, 2026, LineageOS will celebrate 10 years. It’s a remarkable
milestone for a project built by a passionate community of developers,
maintainers, contributors, and users who have kept so many devices alive along
the way.

[…] We’ve been hard at work rebasing all of our changes and features since
Android 17’s release in June. Android 17’s first release mainly contained
iterative improvements and some UI/UX refinements, but due to our previous
efforts adapting to Google’s heavy refactoring over the last several versions,
we were able to rebase onto Android 17’s code-base faster than anticipated. Yes
you read that right: We’re early this year!
