What’s on Android 10 version?

Google has officially unveiled the latest version of Android OS called Android 10. The update is already going live for Pixel series devices. It brings plenty of new features to the device system like system UI, new gesture navigation, improved privacy and location control. The update also offers enhanced app permissions, foldable display support, security features, system-wide dark mode, etc.

The Android 10 also offers built-in call screening, multi-camera API, smart replies in the notification panel, 5G support, improved call quality, bubble feature, live caption, and more. While the latest version also improves battery life, Focus mode which is similar to the Do Not Disturb mode, etc. Apart from that Android 10 also features 65 new emojis. It also comes with direct audio streaming support to hearing aid devices.

Further changes

Lineage Recovery

Lineage is also making the switch to Lineage Recovery as the defacto solution to install LineageOS. Lineage Recovery will be built by default for all officially supported devices. The team mentions that this change was done purely to streamline their own processes and not to dissuade users away from other custom recoveries. Device maintainers retain the freedom to recommend alternative recovery on their device’s Wiki page alongside full instructions for usage.

AOSP’s Permission Hub and LineageOS’s PrivacyGuard

We’ve talked about this change in the past, and now the change is finally here. LineageOS 17.1 drops support for the homebrewed PrivacyGuard implementation in favor of AOSP’s Permission Hub as the team was unable to port the PrivacyGuard framework to Android 10. Google did not release Permissions Hub with Android 10, but the code for it still exists within AOSP. So, the Lineage team forked it and now presents that as the solution as it is claimed to be almost equivalent in features, but conflicted in attempts to co-exist alongside PrivacyGuard.

Rooting — no addonsu binary support

As a byproduct of the removal of PrivacyGuard and the switch over to Permission Hub, the addonsu binary that was usually offered as a simple root access solution is no longer feasible, as we had informed before. Users interested in root have the option to use ADB root, or flash compatible third-party solutions such as Magisk. The team clarifies that this does not mean that any particular third-party solutions are endorsed as officially supported — so you still need to be mindful of the root solution working harmoniously with your ROM.

Deprecation of Styles API

The Styles API is also now getting deprecated in favor of AOSP’s ThemePicker app. The team claims complete feature parity, and even feature superiority with ThemePicker.

Upgrade instructions for LineageOS 17.1

If you are on official LineageOS 16 and your device is present on the list of officially supported devices for LineageOS 17.1, you would still need to manually update your device as per instructions present on your device’s specific wiki page. The LineageOS updater app generally does not support upgrades from one version of LineageOS to another, so users have to make a conscious decision to update instead of being surprised by an OTA.

Why Lineage 17.1 and not 17.0?

Android 10’s source code made its way to AOSP in September 2019, and the LineageOS team has been hard at work to bring forward their ROM and its features to the new Android version base. AOSP, though, had undertaken massive refactoring in certain areas, which made porting over take longer than anticipated. AOSP also introduced features like the new Permissions Hub, which conflicted with the custom ROM’s PrivacyGuard feature, forcing them to drop it. Both of these changes meant that the team had to work harder and take more time for bringing up the ROM as a whole to Android 10.

Meanwhile, the December 2019 Android Security Bulletin was released by Google, and the LineageOS team decided to rebase on the more feature-filled Google Pixel 4/4XL tag of AOSP. Owing to this, the team has also decided to jump up on the subversion, going from 17.0 to 17.1. For the future too, if there is any large scale rebasing undertaken onto a different tag, the team will jump up on the subversion number.

As a consequence of this jump, the team will be locking all Lineage-17.0 branches to contributions on their Gerrit, and abandoning existing 17.0 changes. Developers are still free to cherry-pick changes to 17.1, though.
