LineageOS releases Android 16 update despite challenges with Android source code
- The LineageOS team has released LineageOS 23.0, bringing Android 16 to over 100 different devices.
- This release is based on the initial Android 16 release due to Google’s delay in releasing QPR1’s source code.
- LineageOS 23.0 includes updated versions of Aperture and Twelve, a new TV launcher, and major foundational improvements for future device support.
The golden era of custom Android ROMs 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’s services.
The most popular option is by far LineageOS, 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 to a variety of older models.
