LineageOS 20 brings Android 13 support to Pixel 2 and 2 XL, plus
By Damien Wilde @iamdamienwilde - January 31, 2023

LineageOS 20 based upon Android 13 is now available for several new devices including the Google Pixel 2, 2 XL, the Android TV-based Google ADT-3 dongle, plus a slew of other handsets.

With Google officially ceasing support for the Pixel 2 and 2 XL way back in 2020, for hardware holdouts, this offers a bridge to Android 13. Given that no official support is available, a third-party ROM such as LineageOS 20 is a perfect opportunity to continue to squeeze yet more life out of the cult classic handsets.

The now-discontinued Google ADT-3 developer dongle is also one of the lucky recipients of LineageOS 20 support. However, this Android TV dongle is one of a few devices that are capable of officially running Android 13.

Given that there are no official avenues to buy this dongle, it could be a way for existing owners to tweak and test out functionality added courtesy of the LineageOS team.

As mentioned, official builds have now been added to the LineageOS 20 roster for several devices including the Pixel 2 series, Google ADT-3, Nubia Z17, Nubia Z18 Mini, BQ Aquaris X, BQ Aquaris X Pro, and the Dynalink TV Box (h/t XDA).

With all that said, we have been working extremely hard since Android 13’s release last October to port our features to this new version of Android. Thanks to our hard work adapting to Google’s largely UI-based changes in Android 12, and Android 13’s dead-simple device bring-up requirements, we were able to rebase our changes onto Android 13 much more efficiently. This led to a lot of time to spend on cool new features such as our awesome new camera app, Aperture, which was written in large part by developers SebaUbuntu, LuK1337, and luca020400.

As Android has moved onto the quarterly maintenance release model, this release will be “LineageOS 20”, not 20.0 or 20.1 - though worry not - we are based on the latest and greatest Android 13 version, QPR1.
