Cyanogen OS & Lineage OS

[Nena Trinity]

Why did Cyanogen die? Did ever devices ship with these OS? Yes I want to know everything! Wikipedia does not give me any usable facts I need! Also does anyone currently sell devices with these alternative OS? :3

I believe the first Oneplus shipped with CyanogenMod. That was later changed to 1+'s own version of Cyanogen: OxygenOS

CyanogenMod just changed name to LineageOS, and those who worked on the OS separated from Cyanogen, inc. Also, the OnePlus One shipped with CyanogenMod 12 but I don't know about phones with preinstalled LineageOS

How much harder is that than installing Ubuntu? :3

installing lineage is easy, the dare i say "tricky" part is installing a custom recovery which allows installation of lineage, once thats done you can easily flash versions of android even without a PC (provided you have an SD card slot).

Most phones. Warranty will remain intact depending on the manufacturer and your ability to restore the phone to a factory state.

Say can Lineage have the app stores of Amazon and Google? And well why haven't phone makers tried selling it?

You install the google app suite as a separate package straight after you flash the OS.

 

The only limitation is payment (android pay) and certain paid media streaming services (like netflix) are not available for rooted devices. (Though its possible to hide root.)

 

Why haven't they tried selling it? Hard question, the lineage version hasn't been out for long so who knows?

So they block any device that is not Android or is it that the device is rooted? O3O

Well my devices all run nicely, if it was Samsung devices I would root them day 1 to kill of all the bloatware! Tough I do have a extra phone that I suspect is dead its stuck at the brand logo, might be a candidate? The last thing I did was to try to factory reset it in recovery mode which seems to have killed. Yet the wifi was failing and apps refused to install before it happened so maybe its hardware is failing to...
