The Xiaomi Redmi 3s (device codename: land) also gets a Pixel Experience release. The ROM has issues with the Goodix fingerprint reader, permissive SELinux, and some reported battery drain. But other than that, the release appears to be pretty solid for a phone that was released in June 2016.

OnePlus 2 users can try out this release of LineageOS 17. The fingerprint scanner does not work after a reboot, and RIL will not work if you disable location, so keep that in mind.

The most recent device in today’s list is the LG V40 ThinQ. Users who want a perfectly stable build of the newest Android version can wait for LG to update the phone, which might take a while to arrive, given LG’s track record.

We have made efforts to not include builds that are very experimental in nature, with broken core functionalities. But even with that being said, we advise users to take cognizance of the bugs already discussed in the forum threads, and the fact that early builds will likely have system instability. Back up before proceeding, and only proceed if you really know what you are doing. You can read our past Android 10 and Custom ROM coverage by following the article tags.
