The LineageOS Project has released LineageOS 21 based on Android 14

A new version of LineageOS usually releases around April, but because a lot of work has already been done before, the work to 14 didn't took as long for the developers of the custom ROM. And so, the LineageOS team announced version 21 of the operating system, which is now based on Android 14. As usual, LineageOS is available for a lot of OnePlus devices. The changelog is as follows:

• Security patches from January 2023 to February 2024 have been merged to LineageOS 18.1 through 21.
• Glimpse of Us: We now have a shining new app, Glimpse! It will become the default gallery app starting from LineageOS 21
• An extensive list of applications were heavily improved or redesigned:
  • Aperture: A touch of Material You, new video features, and more!
  • Calculator: Complete Material You redesign
  • Contacts: Design adjustments for Material You
  • Dialer: Large cleanups and code updates, Material You and bugfixes
  • Eleven: Some Material You design updates
  • Jelly: Refreshed interface, Material You and per-website location permissions
  • LatinIME: Material You enhancements, spacebar trackpad, fixed number row
  • Messaging: Design adjustments for Material You
• A brand new boot animation by our awesome designer Vazguard!
• SeedVault and Etar have both been updated to their newest respective upstream version.
• WebView has been updated to Chromium 120.0.6099.144.
• We have further developed our side pop-out expanding volume panel.
• Our Updater app should now install A/B updates much faster (thank Google!)
• We have contributed even more changes and improvements back upstream to the FOSS Etar calendar app we integrated some time back!
• We have contributed even more changes and improvements back upstream to the Seedvault backup app.
• Android TV builds still ship with an ad-free Android TV launcher, unlike Google’s ad-enabled launcher - most Android TV Google Apps packages now have options to use the Google ad-enabled launcher or our ad-restricted version.
• Our merge scripts have been largely overhauled, greatly simplifying the Android Security Bulletin merge process, as well as making supporting devices like Pixel devices that have full source releases much more streamlined.
• Our extract utilities can now extract from OTA images and factory images directly, further simplifying monthly security updates for maintainers on devices that receive security patches regularly.
• LLVM has been fully embraced, with builds now defaulting to using LLVM bin-utils and optionally, the LLVM integrated assembler. For those of you with older kernels, worry not, you can always opt-out.
• A global Quick Settings light mode has been developed so that this UI element matches the device’s theme.
• Our Setup Wizard has seen adaptation for Android 14, with improved styling, more seamless transitions, and significant amounts of legacy code being stripped out.
• The developer-kit (e.g. Radxa 0, Banana Pi B5, ODROID C4, Jetson X1) experience has been heavily improved, with UI elements and settings that aren’t related to their more restricted hardware feature-set being hidden or tailored
