  • LineageOS 23.0 is based on Android 16 'QPR0' due to QPR1's source not being publicly available yet.
  • Google has changed its patch cadence, shifting from monthly to quarterly security bulletins, affecting LineageOS's update schedule.
  • Pixel device support continues but with reduced source access, making them no longer guaranteed 'day one' devices for LineageOS.
  • Legacy devices with older Linux kernels (4.4 and 4.9) face challenges due to Android 16's requirement for Linux 5.4 and above.
  • LineageOS has nearly eliminated Android.mk files, transitioning to Android.bp in preparation for Google's deprecation of Android.mk.
  • New features in LineageOS 23.0 include updates to Aperture (camera app), Twelve (music player), and the introduction of Catapult, a new launcher for Android TV.
  • Extended QEMU-based virtual machine support and improved mainline kernel support are notable developer-focused additions.
  • The download portal and wiki have been updated with new features and improvements for better user experience.
  • A total of 23 devices have been added to the LineageOS 23.0 build roster, with detailed maintainer and device information provided.
