Why does it have to be LineageOS? All you need is a device that works on the android system, on which you can install some alternative "E-INK Launcher" (which are optimized for devices with an E-INK screen) if you just want to be able to install your APK applications.
Since book readers have a refresh rate of about 15Mhz (15 fps/s), the LineageOS interface would be very slow and generally inconvenient to use. Last edited by Michal Jancik; 11-03-2022 at 08:00 AM. |

Because of Android can't be easily updated by users and manufacturers using old android versions that loose security support almost when they are released.

the same with LOS, if there are no maintainers, it won't evolve either.

I've never had updates for my VHS or my 2003 DVD player and they still work. My Android 4.1 Sony Ericsson phone finally lost Playstore access this year. It still works as a 32G media player and to test epubs on a 4.3″ screen.
Don't use the WiFi if worried about security. |

The Hisense A9 now works with LineageOS. See details in the last couple of pages in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/hisense-a9-r...n-662.4495809/
They are still developing some of the functionality, but it seems to work quite well already. |

There are no regular eInk Readers that run LineageOS.

Also LineageOS isn't a complete OS. It's an adaptation of Android and thus has many of the same problems and depends on Android updates. It's almost pointless.

I struggled to see the point of CyanogenMod and there seems little value to LineageOS, especially given the difficulty of installing it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LineageOS Not a fan of Android. A lot from 4.x to 13 seems to be Google fiddling with often little benefit to the user. LineageOS isn't an OS in the sense of iOS, MacOS, Linux, RiscOS, Android, Windows or OS/2. It's just a custom Android. Eink devices already have custom versions of Android, otherwise they'd be worse to use and rarely have bloatware and no Carrier imposed apps. |

Installing so-called custom firmware was a lot easier in 2012-2015 than it is now. |

Yeah, nothing showing up on either LineageOS or the old CyanogenMod site. In principle, it should be possible to port either of them to the Nook 1st Edition or Simple Touch, but it looks like nobody submitted patches to do so.

The nook STR (IMHO) is too weak to put on another OS.
