First, it is another kernel, so I don't know if it has the same vulnerabilities. Second, the big vulnerabilities do not pertain to kernel. Third, it works for me. I have Bitdefender, Panda and Kaspersky just in case. Also, my router is heavily protected: DNS is Cleanbrowsing and I have Diversion and Skynet installed.
[ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 for Nexus 9 (flounder)
- Thread starter razorloves
- Start date
1. Both are based on 3.10. The problem is that stable-3.10.y branch is no longer maintained. Checking it seems this may be true for AOSP version also,
2. There are plenty of kernel vulnerabilities, what you said above is a very odd thing to say.
3. Not sure how "working" is at all relevant.
So this forced me to spend time pulling all the relevant kernel trees and looking through them. I'm not seeing any updates to the Lineage 14.1 flounder kernel either. I assumed that since 14.1 was merging monthly AOSP updates that this extended to the kernel but it appears there are no kernel updates any more. So lots of unpatched vulnerabilities.

So quit worrying about updates and all the other crap you rave about (day job) and just use a build that works.
I'm using the last build of nougat aicp with no lags or complaints. For media consumption. You said that's your goal as well but get hung up on security updates, and tech lag. Pick one and settle, or move on dude.
We all know the shortcomings of n9, either manage it and deal, or move on to a better device. Period
Let's get back on topic and cut the nonsense, If your discussion isn't regarding the dev work here within this thread, It is off-topic and will be removed as such!
Thank you.
Thank you.
LineageOS ends official Nougat builds as Pie support approaches
[AP] LineageOS ends official Nougat builds as Pie support approaches
I knew this was approaching, but thought incorrectly that it would have lasted until actual pie builds arrived, I suppose a need to free up space on the build server.
Maybe one final build in March? https://download.lineageos.org/flounder/changes/

so will we get a lineage 15.1 or 16.0 build for nexus 9 and nexus 9 lte as the 14.1 builds are being haulted for old devices.just wondering. what will happen with development for nexus 9 and nexs 9 lte.
Very unlikely any more official builds for the device, as problems of media playback in Oreo/Pie roms has not been resolved (last i checked).
New blog post: https://lineageos.org/Changelog-22/
Poor flounder :crying:
Hopefully someone will figure out a fix for the hw acceleration problem someday.

I was wondering if anybody will provide for some unofficial builds, given that LOS 14.1 branch will remain open for code updates and so on (couldn't build by myself due to lack of knowledge and spare time, my bad).
yep, i will
It's been about a month since the last official build, so here's a new build I just made with the latest lineage source.
The only differences with this build compared to official builds are, it's not signed with lineage private key and the su addon is included.
I'll probably share new builds here monthly-ish.
lineage-14.1-20190301-UNOFFICIAL-flounder.zip
lineage-14.1-20190301-UNOFFICIAL-flounder_lte.zip
You normally would have to wipe data when flashing a rom with different key, but if you don't want to wipe data you can use the migration zip.
To use the migration zip, follow the steps here using the lineage-migration-unsigned.zip to go from official build to my unofficial. Basically you just boot into twrp and flash that zip then flash my rom zip. Pretty easy.
Should make a backup in twrp, just in case.

WOW! i don't post much, but.....i took my N9 off the scrap heap, where its been for years because i hated the performance...and i put this rom, EX kernel and did the decrypt mode thingy. with the opera browser, this thing finally works like i hoped it would after paying the crazy cost of the N9 years ago! thanks to everyone involved.

Fantastic to see you still giving us the most stable fully working rom still. Awesome stuff ?
@razorloves Thank you for your continued support on this device, any chance off builds without SU Addon, so magisk can be used?
why? magisk removes any root built into the rom. so there's no difference to magisk users if i include it or not.
just flash magisk 18.1 it doesnt matter if su is included or not
