  • Not all of the builds seem live. Pixel 9 Pro has 24.0, but Pixel 9 has 23.2, for example.

  • It's time to bring back Privacy Guard. GrapheneOS is up and coming. Lineage needs to take empowering users with security controls seriously.

  • When I had kids I noticed that the camera quality was quite bad (e.g. on Samsung Galaxy S5 or S7), so I basically switched back to stock.

    Is this still the case? My guess is that Lineage doesn't get the drivers necessary for better quality maybe.

  • I wish Lineage did a better job at explaining which new devices are supported. Lineage clearly supports a lot of devices and device types, but most are ancient or specific models with a known hack to unlock the bootloader. A short list of recommended devices in each category (phone, TV, tablet), that can be bought new today, would go a long way.

  • I love LineageOS. I have been using Lineage and previously Cyanogen for many years. This is how Android is meant to be.

  • I've moved to an Apple TV because of how bad the current Google devices for the TV but I'm glad to see 3rd party options with Android!

  • >Recently, Contributor 0xCAFEBABE introduced a very different kind of generic target that can be run on various types of bare-metal hardware devices.

    >While it’s still in experimental state, it has successfully booted on:

    >Common x86_64 PCs

    >Apple Silicon Macs

    >NVIDIA DGX Spark

    >Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series Laptops

    That actually sounds awesome! Refurbishing old laptops with Android would be a nice choice alongside with Desktop Linux.

  • I was secretly hoping they'd stop supporting the Pixel 4a so I would have a reason to get a new phone, but no, still there in the list of supported devices. So I guess I'll just keep using that thing another year... Anyway: big thanks to the Lineage maintainers, keeping so many phones from landfill!
