Download Lineage OS 19.1 based on Anroid 12.1

The popular Lineage OS ROM just got updated to Android 12.1 with build version 19.1. This brings all the Android 12 and 12.1 goodies introduced by Google in last yearโ€™s I/O 2021. While we wait for the Android 13 to move to stable from the developer preview, Android 12 development just got interesting with the entry of the most popular and sought-after custom ROM for Android called Lineage OS 19.1.

Lineage OS 19.1 build brings the latest Android 12.1 and Android 12L support. For those confused, Android 12.1 was released with the March 2022 Feature Drop for Pixel phone. This is a minor upgrade from the original Android 12. You can check out all the Android 12 and Android 12.1 Release Notes here. Whereas, Android 12L is a separate branch of Android 12 designed for larger screens like tablets and foldable. In this blogpost, Google explains all the details of the Android 12L and how it works.

According to the official Lineage OS 19 Changelog, the latest update is based on Android 12.1 (android-12.1.0_r4) and comes with all the features and goodies including Material You โ€“ a new wallpaper-based theme engine.

With Material You, youโ€™ll be able to completely personalize your phone with a custom color palette and redesigned widgets. With a feature called call color extraction, the system will automatically determine which accent colors to apply across the entire OS: based on the wallpaper you have applied. This includes the notification shade, the lock screen, the volume controls, new widgets, and much more.

Check out the Material You in action in the video below:

Upon installation, Lineage OS 19.1 will greet you with an entirely new Setup Wizard, with all new Android 12-styled icons, animations, and tons of new configurable pages.

Security patches have been applied from March 2021 to April 2022 and have been merged to LineageOS 16.0 through 19. Qualcommโ€™s Snapdragon Camera has been dropped, and devices that used it previously will now use Camera2.

The size of the Lineage OS 19.1 ROM has also increased by about 200 MB, getting it to 763.54 MB as compared to the previous Lineage OS 18.1 which weighed about 557.97 MB in size.

Lineage OS 19.1 iterates all the features from Android 12, 12.1, and also 12L. You can enjoy the likes of custom ROM on your smartphone by downloading and installing the latest Lineage OS 19.1 ROM featuring Android 12.1.

    Why are you saying to download TWRP for Android 12? There is no official TWRP for Android 12.

    Copy and pasted from the official TWRP site:

    TWRP 3.6.1 Released
    Mar 10, 2022
    TWRP 3.6.1 is out now for most currently supported devices.
    I continue my thanks to all the maintainers and your support.
    This release is a bugfix release. Please see the list below for details.
    We are continuing work on Android 12. There is no ETA currently. You can follow our status on Zulip
