• Number 4 is still the Samsung Galaxy S7...

  I kind of miss that phone.

• What are those names?
  by dvh
• Herolte is the galaxy s7(number 4).
  by firebot
• Code names for phones, all android builds (including official ones) have them.

• Why so many Waydroid installs?
  by NoboruWataya
• That's really depressing.
  by goodpoint
• 12 installs in North Korea

• TIL waydroid...

• Interesting why there is no legal challenge for regulator to fine phone manufacturers for not allowing other operating systems. Any groups working on that?

• Why so few in Canada compared to the U.S?
  by throwawayk7h
• Maybe they're using GrapheneOS, which is based in Canada. Could also be they opt out of the count.

• Would something like E/OS be considered a Official or Unofficial builds? I suppose Unofficial since it is a fork?

• Many forks change the telemetry to their own servers so they won't show at all

• Wow, that's not the distribution I expected; waydroid beats any other version... Though I guess that's not apples-apples since it aggregates any physical device running waydroid... And also I didn't expect unofficial builds to be so popular.

• Wonder how much of those Waydroid installs are from scam farms. I can imagine some legit uses, but not this amount.

• I'd be impressed if emulators are winning against big-tech in the spam wars. But perhaps there's spam uses that don't require the best antidetection.

  If emulators worked, what's the point of those giant phone farms?

  I don't know anything about this, so take it with a grain of salt.

  I am just under the impression that a cheap real android is the fastest cheapest way to get a trustworthy-looking device for spamming purposes.

• I doubt whether those US numbers are real, lot of custom rom development/user base has been asian & european market in last decade even though the numbers have been decreasing over the decade (I don't have proof)...
  by virajk_31
• Using a custom ROM is not the same as using LineageOS in particular. Also, the numbers imply just 23% of LineageOS installs are in the US.

• Surprised to see there're only one million devices with lineage OS installed. I personally installed it on a few amazon fire tablets. I thought it would be more than 10m devices at least.

• The stats collection is opt-in
  by MYEUHD
• they need to make a official GSI. until they do not they ll continue to decline.
  by nicman23
• Exactly. Of course not everything will work on every device, but they're not even going in that direction (like by incorporating/extending PHH patches) despite acknowledging that most devices won't be officially supported.

• Note that these stats are based on opt-in data gathering.

• Interesting to see 1 os install per country of millions of people (EG: last entry, 161 installs: 160 in Argentina, 1 in the UK)
  by x______________
• > San Marino: 1 install

  I feel like there's a problem in privacy in this dataset...

  by NooneAtAll3
• PSA: LineageOS has some unofficial builds which works on earlier gen Amazon devices. I turned an Echo Show from an annoying ad machine into the device a Chumby always could have been.
  by RajT88
• Recently installed LineageOS on an old Samsung tablet I had laying around. The thing was barely usable with whatever the highest Android version was it was comparable with. Now it works wonderfully! Really happy with it. Privacy features aside, Lineage can do wonders to revive old hardware

• My Nokia T20 is getting to this point and I wish Lineage was an option. Sadly, I don't think it has enough of a footprint for anyone to bother with writing the firmware/drivers -- I wish I had the time to give it a serious try. Seeing this class of devices reduced to e-waste really bums me out. :(
