Stay tuned to the Lineage OS 14.1 Devices list page to get more updates on Lineage OS ROMs. We also have the Lineage 14.1 for OnePlus X (onyx) along with, we have update many Android NOUGAT AOSP ROMs and also many CyanogenMod 14 ROMs and many are yet to come.

DISCLAIMER:

• I DON’T KNOW THE STATUS OF ALL THE ROMS YET. THIS COULD BE AN INITIAL ALPHA ROM OR JUST A DEVELOPMENT ROM, IT MAY NOT BOOT AT ALL OR IF AT ALL IT BOOTS THEN IT MAY NOT BE USABLE AS A DAILY DRIVER. I JUST FOUND THE ROM AND POSTED HERE. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK. ALSO MAKE SURE TO TAKE NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM.
• I don’t want to waste your time and my time too and hence I basically verify the system/build.prop and/or updater-script to get the build details at the first place before posting any ROM. I may be wrong at times and hence it is your responsibility to verify once more about the legitimacy of the ROMs.
• Installing a custom ROM on a the OnePlus X may require the bootloader to be unlocked, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup all data on the phone. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you.
