LineageOS 20: Update
So it has been months since we last talked about LineageOS 20, and I don't feel confident posting about this, but since some of you joined this channel mainly to get LineageOS update, okay let me reveal something, but take this as a grain of salt, all of these are subject to change if thing doesn't work as planned.
LineageOS 20 scheduled announcement date: 31 Dec 2022
Yeah, so the team purposely scheduled the release of the next major version on the very last day of 2022. You might be asking, is this going to be true? I myself can't be sure, in reality they haven't even managed to solve the build issue till today.
So what's new you may be asking? Okay, it's going to be similar to the previous version but well, there are some new stuff (listing out the obvious changes only):
• Quick Settings light-mode
• Improved Setup Wizard experience
• Android TV: Ad-free launcher
And for Pixel 1/XL users, no good news, we are still going to stick with Android 11, until someone figures out a way to boot newer Android versions on the device of course. If you own later Pixel models, then you are good to go, LineageOS will be supporting all of them and those devices will be receiving LineageOS 20 builds.
That's all from me, wishing all the best to the LineageOS team.

Introducing LineageOS 'Aperture'
Long story short, we can all agree the Camera app that came preinstalled in LineageOS builds and other vanilla ROMs are just awful to use, no matter if it is Snap or Camera2. With no advanced image processing and little to no features, making it become one of the obsolete apps in most people's minds, including myself.
The era is about to change with the release of LineageOS 20, introducing Aperture, which is built based on Google's CameraX library, at least your photos won't be too grainy in quality with that camera. It also comes with a few new features:
• Auxiliary cameras support (device maintainers must enable it)
• Video frame rate controls
• Full control of EIS (electronic image stabilization) and OIS (optical image stabilization) settings
• A leveler to check the device orientation angle
LineageOS also promised to add more features in the new future, cool to see that. The new camera app will only be preinstalled on LineageOS 20 builds.

Extra features on LineageOS (Display)
There are actually a few additional settings in LineageOS which let you play around with the screen itself.
If you don't like the default dark theme, there is a pure black option so the system theme will be completely black, but keep in mind that there won't be Material You color hue in dark mode. In LiveDisplay, you can turn on reading mode and make changes to color calibration. Some devices will also have a picture adjustment option which lets you adjust the hue, saturation, intensity and contrast.
There is a dedicated page for rotation settings which you can toggle rotation modes and whether to rotate lock screen. Additionally, you can double tap the status bar from any application to turn off the screen and toggle whether to wake the screen while plugging in.
Over at the lock screen section, you have the option to display media cover art & music visualiser. Some other devices which have an AMOLED display will come with an Always on display option too.

LineageOS 20.0: A few more days to go!
Earlier we told you guys that LineageOS will be announcing their next major version release on the last day of 2022, and when this post goes live, that means there's only five days left. Let's keep you guys updated with some information over here.
The announcement seems to be ready for publication on that day. If you are wondering how many devices are going to be on the build roster for LineageOS 20, that's a whopping 44, for now. I don't think they will be delaying the release of it, but some Pixel devices won't be joining the club on the very first day, as build signature issues still persist.
Here's the updated list of which Pixel devices will be receiving LineageOS 20 builds:
• Pixel 4 (flame)
• Pixel 4 XL (coral)
• Pixel 4a (sunfish)
• Pixel 4a 5G (bramble)
• Pixel 5 (redfin)
• Pixel 5a (barbet)
As we mentioned earlier, devices that are still on 18.1 will still be getting monthly updates, and apparently there are still 61 devices being maintained on this particular version. Android 12 introduced one raspy requirement: BPF, hence resulting in large numbers of old devices not being able to receive newer versions of builds. Good to know that LineageOS didn't decide to abandon it just yet.
Okay, nothing else interesting to announce over here. Rest of them you could read in the blog which is roughly the same stuff. Read more: Introducing LineageOS 'Aperture'

LineageOS 20, the early surprise is here
LineageOS
You thought this might come up months later, but this is the truth (also we made a prediction), LineageOS will be starting to distribute official builds of Android 13 from now on, alongside with LineageOS 18.1 (monthly release) & 19.1.
For now, Pixel 4 & 5 series (including mid-range A-series) are the only Pixel devices to receive official builds from LineageOS, originally Pixel devices as old from Pixel 2 series all the way till Pixel 7 series will be receiving the same treatment, but due to build signature issues and incomplete device tree development, these are being delayed for now. For the case of Pixel 1, it will stick with Android 11 for the meantime.
Anyway, besides Pixel devices, other 45 (total: 51) devices from different manufacturers are receiving the update too. Of course, even if your device isn't in the list, you can always check your community if there's a build for your device or not if interested.

Extra features on LineageOS (Others)
Time flies and we have almost finished introducing all LineageOS features, let's check out what LineageOS has to offer.
Charging sounds
Just like your ringtone, notification and alarm sounds, you can choose your preferred sound when you plugged in your device. If you want it to be completely silent, there is the option for you to disable it and the vibration.
Screen lock
For patterns, there is 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 grid size. Just a note that if you used Google Backup, 3x3 is the only one that is going to work while restoring your data. If you use PIN, you can choose to randomise the number order by scrambling the PIN layout, that's enabled by default.
QS tiles
Lastly, there are a few available QS tiles in LineageOS are added by the team itself. Those are:
