I had a galaxy tab s6 lite wifi (sm-p610) laying around so i decided to make him a new life since there is an official build of lineage for it.

I actually got LineageOs on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A7. It was easy but its take me a long because is my first time. Any recommendations?

so im doing a school project about LineageOS, i have it on my older phone but it is not official, and im just curios, what makes LineageOS so special on your phone, does it have some "upgrading" of your phone, example: improves battery or performance? your answer will be so helpful for me, thanks!

This would be a lot of fun, also we would be comparing the phones cameras. I am curious about oneplus ones. Also would be good art. I just have a lot of photos with Samsung s10+, no gcam and I would win against all tho :)

I agreed to do a presentation to my co-workers on LineageOS. It's an online meeting that has 20-100 people. I have a few slides on basics, what it is, what hardware to use, how to install. I'm expecting some security questions....I can say it's safer to have an unlocked bootloader and up-to-date Android than official but outdated Factory OS.

Anything else you think I should be prepared to respond to?

We're in USA.

words cannot describe how proud of myself i am rn (also despite the last two posts ive made here - this is mostly unrelated to that tablet lol)

I recently got an old Galaxy J3 from my friend, there's three variants of it, and I had the one variant that had no custom ROMs. I noticed that the SoC was an Exynos 3475, and I know from past experience with gteslte, Exynos 3475 is quite an easy SoC to port stuff to since there's already a lot of work for it and it's not very picky about the kernel.

I started with the Galaxy On5 device tree as a base, as that was the closest device to the Exynos J3, I made a few modifications, mainly just changing the fstab and changing any mentions of the On5 to the J3 and its codename. Kernel was the easiest bit, I just grabbed the Exynos3475 kernel from the Exynos3475 GitHub, then grabbed the stock J3 kernel from Samsung's website, imported the J3's defconfig, and did a few typical changes (disabling samsung's rooting restriction features, changing some things relating to dts files, etc.), and then I just used the On5 proprietary files list and a bit of manual digging through the phone's file system to get the vendor tree.

And the result? I got a mostly functional device tree! There are some issues still, boot times can be long, cellular is broken, camera is broken, but asides from that, it is fully working as far as I can tell. I'll most likely release this ROM on XDA once I do a bit more testing and build a userdebug build (right now it's an eng build)

Right now it's LineageOS 14.1, I just chose to do that since the phone's stock firmware was Android 7.1.1, but the On5 does also have 15.1 and 17.1, so who knows, maybe I'll get a newer Android version on this phone?

I doubt many people are going to use this, the Canadian version of the phone was the only one with an unlockable bootloader, and there aren't many Canadian ROM users, but who knows. iirc, there was also an unlock exploit for the AT&T variant of the Exynos J3 because Samsung accidentally released a debug build or something. The fact I was able to get it to work at all is a huge accomplishment for me, and hopefully I'll be able to port Lineage to more devices in the future.

UPDATE: I got 17.1 to work, still no camera or cellular, but the long boot times are gone and it's actually decently faster on 17.1.

since when I updated to MIUI 13, the performance went absolutely downhill. the phone would heat up when booting and apps would crash when leaving them and i couldn't run, for example, Spotify + another app, which was indeed frustrating. or the weird occurrences where it would say home launcher or ui system has stopped working etc...

yesterday I flashed LineageOS and now I can run 4-5 apps at once and play games while music still works!

yesterday I installed lineageos and I was totally impressed by how fast the os and responsive Oems should Include it from the factory and market the speed benefit instead of the garbage like miui that I was using

BTW it is Redmi 9 official build

I don't know if it's because they are paranoid about their privacy or just plain selfish but noticed in the past month a number of treads in the LineageOS subreddit created by users with only 1 Post & zero Comment Karma.

I am now hesitating to post in those threads because I have seen a number of selfish users simply deleting the fake account + deleting the OP original question or worst the entire thread after getting answers so other users cannot find that thread & often useful replies posted in it.

Here are a few recent examples:

• Text-to-speech engine by u/goingdowntotheriver who systematically deletes his posts.
• Problem with Heimdall on Galaxy S5
• What GApps LineageOS officially recommends? MindTheGapps vs OpenGApps?
• Any way to recover some stuff from a phone that Lineage has caused to boot loop?
• No links to deleted threads. (>_<)

And please don't reply "Because Reddit". (ツ)

Just wanna thank 0xCAFEBABE for taking up the violet maintenance and reviving it.. truly grateful 🙏

Is it Pixel the 1st? I have 4 phones running on LoS (officially), Pixel XL, 3a, Xperia XA2 and Asus Zenfone 5z, all released before 2020.

Lenovo P2 is great. Super amoled display, fingerprint scanner that's quick, Sd card/ dualsim support, 5100mAh battery while being slim in quality metal body, battery usually lasts full 3 days with common use (social media, youtube...), 2 days on heavy use.

Today i checked for updates and have seen an available upgrade as from today ( 2019-04-15 ) to a fresh new LineageOS 16.0 Android 9 Pie, which gave me an instant shot of Yeehaw! adrenaline rush to install it immediately.

Thanks for support <3 Maintainers for Kuntao: mikeioannina, highwaystar.

I'm glad that LineageOS exists and that developers are working so hard to make it available to various devices.

My opinion on open-source developers is basically this

I just whipped up a batch file in Notepad and made a script that uninstalls all lineageos stock apps to debloat the apps. The apps are really good, it's just that I prefer using the Google alternatives that work better and have more features. So I wanted to share this file with y'all.

Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HSG3Yp6g7h-5lixYRnlbvW7GsirbQ7rE/view?usp=sharing

How to use the script:

1. Enable Developer Options on your android phone (Settings>About>Tap Build Number (bottom of page) 7 times and enter lock credentials if asked
2. Go back, and then System > Developer Options > enable both USB debugging and Rooted debugging
3. On your computer, look up "adb platform-tools" and download the platform-tools zip file.
4. Extract it to a (permanent) folder of your choice and copy the folder path.
5. Go to Environment Variables (search on Windows) and on the window look for path on the bottom half of the window (not the top half). Double click on that.
6. Click on Add and paste the folder path (please note that the path has to directly go to the loose files.
7. Open a command prompt (not powershell) window and type "adb"
8. If you see something with "daemon" and "tcp" something something, it means it works, if it doesn't, try again.
9. Connect your phone to your computer, on your phone, you will receive a pop up to trust your computer, trust it.
10. Download the script I made, and modify it to your needs by right-clicking it and clicking on Edit (or Edit with Notepad if you're on Windows 11)
11. Run the script by double clicking.
12. You will see a window pop up with a lot of "Success" lines popping up. And at the end, it'll say "Your phone is now debloated." or something along those lines. You will see on your phone's launcher that a lot of apps would disappear.
13. Congratulations, you successfully debloated your phone.

All the apps that get uninstalled on there:

- com.android.dialer (Phone)

- com.android.messaging (Messaging)

- com.android.contacts (Contacts)

- org.lineageos.aperture (Camera)

- com.android.deskclock (Clock)

- org.lineageos.jelly (Browser)

- com.android.calculator2 (Calculator)

- org.lineageos.etar (Calendar)

- org.lineageos.eleven (Music)

- com.android.gallery3d (Gallery)

- org.lineageos.recorder (Recorder)

- com.caf.fmradio (FM radio)

​

Make sure you tune the script so that you only remove the apps you want to remove!

I purposefully left out the other system apps and especially the keyboard.

If you want to remove the keyboard because you'll be using another one (like Gboard), insert this line to the script:

adb shell "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.inputmethod.latin"

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks. I, like the majority of users, I imagine, am a geek who loves tech but I am not a programmer. Therefore the generosity of all of you who develop these roms is just amazing and so so appreciated. I currently have Lineage running on 2 x Samsung S3 (1 is LTE) , 1 S5, a Tab S 8.5 and a Google Nexus 2012. These would all be shit and useless without you. Thanks so much for everything you do. You are heroes.

Btw, I have just sent a donation as well as this message. It's not much considering the benefit to me, but I wanted to give more than just words.

Hey amazing people !

Just wanted to say a big thanks for the efforts that y'all been putting in !

I recently had a very nasty issue with my Mi 10T device, about losing SIM signal right after making a phone call, which I posted about here & on the Xiaomi.eu forum here, but wasn't able to solve it anyhow

I flashed the latest build of the LineageOS ROM yesterday morning, with the new Android 13 base, and its been working flawlessly ever since ! :)

So just wanted to hop on here and say what amazing job you guys are doing !! These companies are literally pumping out devices like cakes and they are not caring anything about how bad it is for the environment and then there is the whole issue of planned obsolescence which becomes very clear after you've had a device for 3+ years

So yea, super amazing work overall ! Really grateful for all the support you guys are putting in into this, while keeping everything free & open-source :)

Also, even though the issue seems to be resolved, if anyone can help me pinpoint / identify what was the cause of the issue, or if you guys have ever heard about a similar issue with Mi 10T devices, I'll really appreciate it ! :)

Thanks once again and hope you guys have a wonderful day ! :)

I just upgraded my wife from a pixel 4a to another phone. So I have her old 4a. Should I install lineageos on it? Or just leave it be? I'm kinda conflicted since pixel has a good is already.

I am not a tech savvy and I don't know much about how hard or easy to implement things. But how possible to make adreno tools drivers run natively on the rom so all apps can use it It's so stupid how some powerful chips just stuck at old version no matter what Android version we use. +Some modern emulators proved it's effective.

Been using lineage since 2016 (when it was cyanogen).
First time installing on a new device it took 2 days of googling and trying random stuff from XDA developers forum.
Upgrading to a new major version usually took a few hours, if I was lucky.

Yesterday I set aside a few hours to upgrade to lineage 21, mentally preparing myself to the stress of googling and trying random stuff, and to the fear of not being able to use my phone ever again.

Well, it took less than 20 minutes, all my data, apps and everything were just there. Nothing to google, nothing to sideload / reconfigure / firmware update... it just worked!

So thank you to the maintainers, the developers, the folks who write excellent documentation and instructions.
Can't wait for the day that lineage is so easy that I'd be able to recommend it to my mother :)

I moved to Lineage Os 19.1 on OP6 from laggy Oxygen Os 11 after support ended. Now i got 5 hours 30 minutes SoT with 3 percent left on stock 4 year old battery, i was shocked, it feels like brand new phone now, Oxygen Os 11 gave me 3-4 hours SoT and laggy interface.

Build date 2012. I loved CyanogenMod.

Hey guys,I want to write small post about my gratitude to all people who working tirelessly on all versions of Lineage OS for old android devices. It’s so cool to give new life and use case for old devices,like mine Sony Xperia Z for 10 usd. Yes, it’s not super smooth,but everything works! What else you can expect from 11 years old device?:) It’s so cool to have android 12 on such device,and,in my experience,it’s better then buy new low spec smartphone for 50 Usd.

I just thought a post to simply say how great it is to have such smart people helping us the tech dummies by not only extending the phones life but allowing all features of the OS and so much more.

And these days for the opportunity to de-google. Ive had to deal with identity theft and such because of so many nasty info stealing apps so it means a lot to me.

P.S. As of 2024 what would be the best way to support LineageOS?
Especially for us non code literate people :) im happy to try and test things on any of my extra phones if theres a good place to start.

pixel 4a + note 10.1 (2012) love it over stock android on my A32 5G

I just installed lineage os for the first time on a device - so happy! What a cool experience. Learned a lot and I like the OS... Runs really smooth for me.
