If you are looking
to install a new custom ROM on your YU Yureka then we have here as usual
the best Custom ROMs for you.
The YU Yureka is
next in line for Lineage OS 14.1 as the device gets its first unofficial
port of the new OS. The official builds for the device should be coming soon as
it was already supported by official nightly builds for CM14.1.
As for Lineage OS, the new custom ROM initiative that will
replace the now shutdown CyanogenMod has gained a new logo to kick off 2017.
This development comes right after the project gained an official Gerrit
account to help developers keep a track of the modifications being done to the
code. Active development has already started with people making changes in
real-time to the code. This pace of rapid development is sufficient to dispel
the concerns regarding the survival of the popular ROM development community.
