👆 Root binaries for LineageOS 14.1

Builds are currently up for those devices

Update & Build Prep Alright, alright, alright - it’s nearly ‘go time’ for builds to start flowing. Before everyone gets excited and rushes to download, we want to cover a few important points. First, we want to thank everyone that stepped forward to assist with the infrastructure (and offers continue to pour in). Thanks to you all, all infrastructure pieces are lighting up ‘Operational’ on our lovely status page. Additionally, our Download Portal, Install stats page (yep, that’s 50k+ unofficial installs already!) and Wiki are all live. Notably, all three of these sites (and this blog) are open sourced - you can contribute to them via our Gerrit instance! Bear with us if these sites look bare at the moment, they will grow with content and design as we continue marching forward. On to the fun stuff - build roster, release process and other details: The build roster is ever growing, but we are supporting Marshmallow and Nougat capable devices. We’ll list the 80+ devices in a separate post. Our release cadence will be ‘weekly’ by default (to be nice to all the donated hardware). We will NOT be shipping root baked into the ROM. Root will be a downloadable zip based install similar to gapps installation (only need to flash it once). Home builders that want to bake su back into the ROM can use the command ‘export WITH_SU=true’ prior to building. Our official builds will all be signed with a private key for authentication and signature permission control This will not break, prevent or stop any ‘unofficial’ builds. Key verification info can be found on the wiki Verifying Build Authenticity page Regarding installation, we recommend that users wipe when switching to LineageOS, and reinstall their gapps. However, we recognize that this can be time consuming, so we are offering an EXPERIMENTAL (read as, if it fails, you’ll have to wipe anyways) solution. Alongside the ‘weekly’ release for your supported device, we’ll provide an EXPERIMENTAL data migration build. This build will allow you to ‘upgrade’ from CM to the signed LineageOS weekly This build may wipe permissions (you’ll have to re-allow app permissions), but should retain all user data This build will be watermarked with an ugly banner to ensure that you don’t permanently run this EXPERIMENTAL release, and upgrade to a normal weekly after. The process for this installation will be as follows: Install EXPERIMENTAL migration build on top of cm-13.0 or cm-14.1 build (don’t try to install LineageOS 13.0 on top of CM 14.1, that will not work). Reboot

basically LOs wants to get close to something that is highly secure, right now we can't run net banking apps and more apps that need selinux as enforcing, bootloader locked, non rooted and extra extra. LOs will disable root by default, enforcing is mandatory for official builds, and the private key changes makes sure that the integrity of the ROM is well defined to run those apps. We are moving to completely compatible thing

when official Lineage builds hit DATA WIPE WILL BE REQUIRED NO MATTER WHAT BUILD YOU CAME FROM. Lineage will be migrating to signed private key builds, and will require a data wipe to install without issues.

Note - currently, only Un-Official builds are available for all devices
