LineageOS

Using it on my POCO X3 PRO and it's perfect. Bootloader unlocked, Lineage OS installed and now I have a brand new smartphone without chinese crap.

Running Android 11 on a Nexus 7 2013 as my daily driver.<p>As a supported device with an &quot;official&quot; release I get mostly weekly updates. With some the device gets boggy, but over time it just keeps getting better.<p>I&#x27;ve been battling with a Sony with an &quot;unofficial&quot; release. I really do prefer the Sony hardware quality over the Nexus, but it takes some serious masochism and rodent mazing to put a custom ROM on Sony.

Lineage is a useful and important project.<p>However, be aware that their focus has mostly been on <i>security</i> and not so much on <i>privacy</i>.<p>What this means is they worry a lot about hackers breaking into your phone but they don&#x27;t worry much about daddy Google tracking you all over the internet and into the real world.<p>Also, not sure why this is news now since the last update was in April.

Using it on my note 3. Little Buggy. I need to perform adb commands to fix delayed sms and non working gps in google maps when I apply an update. You look in the forums, its supposely fixed. Other than that its rock solid and I can still use an almost decade old phone like its 2022. Still waiting for the next equivalent in terms of hardware build and future-proof features. Back in the days the note 3 had much bigger ram (3gb) and 4k video. So now I will switch when I see 8k, 12gb and night photo that doesn’t look like AI dulled crap but actual pixels. Hoping the galaxy 22 ultra will be the one. Note 20 was close.

Using a custom ROM on my second-hand Mi A2 Lite enabled me access to Android 11. Next step is to flash an ungoogled ROM for maximum privacy.

Anyone here with thoughts on maintaining a device for Lineage? My (currently-unused) Moto Z Play is no longer supported by either Motorola or Lineage. Wondering how much work would be it to keep a port functional.

I&#x27;m wondering how much I can de-Googlefi my life (see multiple other threads about G Suite legacy free going away) while also keeping Google Fi for voice and data. :\ It seems like if I keep any single thing, a hook reaches out and drags me fully back in.<p>To activate Google Fi service on a phone, I need Google Fi app which drags in at least open gapps but I don&#x27;t know if that&#x27;s adequate without jumping to the full Google Play Services.

Why did Cyanogen cease development???
