LineageOS 22.1 based on Android 15 lands on over 100 devices

The LineageOS team is back with a bang, delivering Android 15 (aka LineageOS 22.1) to over 100 devices. If you’ve been holding onto your trusty phone long past its official support days, this update is your ticket to fresh features, robust security, and a sprinkle of new apps.

The LineageOS team didn’t just hit the ground running after Android 15’s September release — they sprinted. Thanks to more contributors and efficient workflows, this release cycle has been their smoothest in years. Even older devices are making the leap quicker than expected, thanks to careful engineering and resourceful problem-solving.

Beyond Android 15’s goodies, this update spices things up with Twelve, a brand-new music app. This isn’t just Eleven 2.0; Twelve sports a Material You design, advanced streaming protocol support, and slick Android Auto integration. Need a visualizer or Bluetooth playback resumption? Twelve’s got you covered.

Also debuting is Camelot, a no-frills PDF reader. It leverages Android 15’s built-in Jetpack PDF library, letting you open important documents without hunting for third-party apps. Sometimes, simplicity wins.

Speed enthusiasts will be glad to hear that the team’s revamped extract utilities slash extraction times from three minutes to a mere six seconds. Shoutout to contributors demon000 and 0xCAFEBABE for making this happen. Plus, there’s now unofficial support for QEMU and crosvm virtual machines, expanding your tinkering options.

With Google’s shift to quarterly platform releases (QPRs), the LineageOS team is also aligning their updates with Android’s pace. This explains the release of LineageOS version 22.1 — named to reflect its foundation in the latest Android 15 QPR1. Expect regular updates like 22.2 (Android 15 QPR2) and future milestones such as LineageOS 23.1 when Android 16 QPR1 arrives.
