LineageOS is one of the most popular custom ROMs for Android out there. It is an open-source OS that can be used on almost any device that supports Android. However, now that it is moving on to Android 11, and halting development for Android 9, it has dropped support for more than 24 older Android devices.

LineageOS 16.0 was first released on top of Android 9 in March 2019. A number of older and newer devices received support for the OS over the course of the next year. In 2020, LineageOS 17.1 based on Android 10 was released. A number of older devices were updated to the latest version of the OS, but 24 of them remained on LineageOS 16.0 up until now.
