LineageOS MWC New Support of Dual Optical Sensors and New Terminals

Since its launch, LineageOS has been steadily advancing, introducing new features and extending support for an array of terminals. The momentum continues at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 in Barcelona, where LineageOS showcases its commitment to innovation and development.

LineageOS MWC New Support of Dual Optical Sensors

Week after week, the Lineage OS team solidifies its alternative Android-based operating system. As a project derived from the ashes of CyanogenMod, LineageOS has gained substantial traction, amassing over 150,000 downloads within a week and exceeding a total of 650,000 downloads.

One noteworthy announcement at the MWC in Barcelona is the extended support for new terminals equipped with dual optical sensors at the rear. Simultaneously, the development team acknowledges the substantial effort required to maintain the CyanogenMod File Manager (CMFM) file manager, deeming the task “considerable.” Following a comprehensive evaluation, the team concludes that it’s time to transition to the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) Android manager, accompanied by several enhancements.

As always, incremental changes are integral to LineageOS’s evolution. The latest updates include the integration of Android’s February security bulletins, reinforcing the system’s resilience against potential vulnerabilities.

Additionally, the LeEco LeMax 2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 can take advantage of LineageOS 13.0, built on Android 6.x.

The continual expansion of supported devices highlights LineageOS’s commitment to providing a versatile and customizable Android experience for users across various hardware platforms. By supporting both older and newer devices, LineageOS caters to a diverse user base, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of a feature-rich and up-to-date operating system.

In conclusion, LineageOS continues to solidify its position as a leading alternative Android operating system, offering a compelling combination of customization, security, and support for a wide range of devices. The team’s dedication to ongoing development, showcased at events like MWC 2017, reinforces LineageOS’s commitment to providing users with a unique and user-centric Android experience.
