Release delayed for some Pixel 10 models

The custom operating system LineageOS 24 for the Google Pixel 10 series was expected earlier but faced delays. Now, it is available for some models, though not all users can access it yet.

LineageOS 24 now available for Pixel 10a

More than a year after the Pixel 10 series launched, LineageOS 24 is officially available for these devices, including the budget model, the Pixel 10a. The installation files were released on the same day as the official announcement.

Delays due to changes in Google's policies

The delay in releasing LineageOS 24 is due to factors beyond the development team's control. Google no longer provides device tree files and binary driver files, which has complicated the process of creating custom ROMs.

LineageOS 24 based on Android 17

LineageOS 24 is built on Android 17 and includes updates from June 2026. It features visual updates aligned with Material 3 Expressive and a new image editor called "Canvas." Security updates are included up to October 2026, and users can use the devices without Google's AI features.

Gradual rollout across Pixel 10 models

The release of LineageOS 24 is happening in stages. Currently, versions for the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro are available, while versions for the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and Pixel 10a will be released later.
