When will there be an os update to nougat for HTC one X9? Does anyone know?

Probably never - the phone is 2 years old. It's not even on the LineageOS list.

Thanks for the reply. I guess i will have to get new phone soon. Funny thing is my Galaxy Tab A which is older, got a nougat update.

One more question, what is LineageOS? I did search about it for a bit. But it is still not clear.

Welcome to the forums. Lineage is a community driven custom Android ROM. They are an offshoot of CyanogenMod, who used to have a wide range of device ROMs that people could install.

Since a lot of Independent developers often used CyanogenMod or lineage as a base, the fact that lineage has no ROM for your phone is not a good sign to be able to flash a custom ROM.

Okay. So CyanogenMod and LineageOS are custom made roms for different devices. I had to check what rom stands first though. I have basic information when it comes to OS.

In any case thanks for the reply.

CyanogenMod is essentially defunct. Lineage has taken its place. But the basic idea is still there.
