OFFICIAL LINEAGE OS 20 DOWNLOADS FOR ALL ANDROID
Why choose Lineage 20 ?
Out of the box, lots of your favorite phones come with limited software support. Over the past few years, the update cadence for most Android phones has improved but the limit is still 4 full operating system updates for most flagship-level devices. For older phones not lucky enough to be included in the long-term update plans of Samsung, Honor, OnePlus, Oppo et al, a ROM offers an expanded lifespan with no extra cost to you.
Lineage OS 20 also includes regular security patches to protect you from exploits and potential threats. On top of that, this gives you the ability to get a clean Pixel-like experience but with added functionality and customizability without sacrificing that clean, lightweight AOSP feel that is core to the daily experience.
One gripe I personally have is Lineage’s Jelly browser. At least to me, it’s basic and although you can access tabs independently from the Recents menu, I quickly went back to Chrome as the added functions and even just the user interface is more visually appealing. You do have some impressive added controls though if you want full control over your privacy options and some other notable functions.
There are Recorder and Music apps here too. The former is a very simple affair that lets you record sounds in standard and high-quality. You can tag your current position to pick up where you left off. For listening to music, the Lineage OS 20 player is fine, it’s another basic option that lets you play a variety of filetypes
Many of the “stock” ASOP apps are starting to show their age too. These include Calendar, Calculator, Messaging, Contacts, and Gallery apps. Sure, they are functional with helpful features. However, for most people, you’ll have a better experience with Google’s own Calendar, Calculator, Messages, Contacts, and Photos apps or one of the vast options available on the Play Store.
For anyone preferring a de-Googled experience, then sideloading APK files from a reputable source or third-party stores such as F-Droid can give you access to various apps and games without the Google Mobile Services requirement.
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.
