[tech misc] Follow-up on LineageOS
Jan. 27th, 2017 01:58 pmI posted in December about the abrupt implosion of CyanogenMod. The code fork, LineageOS, now has a bunch of images built and ready to install. Visit the Downloads page to find your device, and see the blog post Update & Build Prep for more details; the EXPERIMENTAL build may provide a seamless upgrade from CyanogenMod but you may well still have to wipe everything, and the option's going away in just under two months' time.

Date: 2017-01-27 02:45 pm (UTC)Both my phone and tablet have nightlies, and the tablet has the experimental thing too. Looks like tonight might be install party time.
After which, time for me to decide if I want to keep being a stubborn paranoid fuck with a phone so open source RMS could wipe his arse with it, or contaminate my phone with (ohnoez) GApps.
...And I'm going to go with the less paranoid/perfectionist/self-righteous option. I am not Chelsea Manning or whoever, and I am tired.
