Many "custom ROMs" similar to LineageOS will only support a few phone models, often all from one manufacturer.

==History==
The project began under a different name and organization, back in 2009. Known as Cyanogen at the time, it was designed to support the "Dream" and "Magic" models of HTC phones. As the project owner was replaced, the system was renamed as "CyanogenMOD", to reflect the ongoing improvements and expansions. However, Cyanogen Inc. eventually announced its shutdown, so the operating system was forked under the new name of Lineage, in December, 2016.<ref>https://www.makeuseof.com/lineageos-best-android-custom-rom/</ref>
