Install LineageOS 15.1 on Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus and OnePlus One

The latest LineageOS 15.1, based on the Android mobile operating system, can now be installed on three new smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus, OnePlus One, and Oppo Find 7.

Released in February 2018, LineageOS 15.1 is based on Google’s Android 8.1 Oreo mobile operating system and introduces many new features and improvements, including enhanced button and gesture customization, custom charging sounds, improved navigation bar, updated Privacy Guard, and live display features, among others.

LineageOS 15.1 can be defined as a highly customized version of stock Android mobile operating systems. They are all built on the Linux kernel, providing a more stable and reliable operating system for mobile devices. Now, you can even install it on more platforms, including the Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus, OnePlus One, and Oppo Find 7, according to XDA Developers.

How to Install LineageOS 15.1

If you want to install LineageOS 15.1 on your Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus, OnePlus One, or Oppo Find 7 smartphone, you will first need to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery like TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project), which may void your device’s warranty. If that’s not an issue, visit the LineageOS website to get started with the mobile operating system.

After unlocking your smartphone’s bootloader and installing a third-party recovery, you need to download LineageOS 15.1 for OnePlus One, Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A, and Oppo Find 7 from the official website, where you will also find detailed installation instructions, but you can simply follow the on-screen instructions.

With each new release, LineageOS continues to improve, and it is currently very popular among Android users who want to install a version of Android on their mobile devices without using their respective vendors. Therefore, we expect LineageOS to be available on more new and old devices soon, so stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
