I have an old Samsung at home with CyanogenMod 7.2 or whatever on it (boot animation is legendary btw) but let me tell you using it today its the clunkiest, ugliest and shittiest UI and ROM. Old custom ROMs were not polished AT ALL. It screams "fisherprice project". I guess we are now used to much more polished software anyway

@deRykcihC 4 месяца назад

It's nice seeing them pushed out the a14 of lineageOS but sadly the official devices supported are even lesser now, I jumped to PixelOS or PixelExperience just because my devices got dropped or discontinued from the devs, despite the hardware is still fairly new. I know there are unofficial builds but they are often unstable from my past experience. I wish more contributors join the project. Also anyone who knows which magisk module to enable Google Pay on unlocked BL devices? I tried all the latest and greatest available SafetyNet fix but they are not working.

@Cavi587 2 месяца назад

LineageOS isn't good just because of extended lifespan, it's good because by default it removes the worse spyware from Android, called google apps and google services. But Graphene OS is even better because of it's hardened security and focus on privacy. Reject big tech corpos from devices as critical for most people as a smartphone that's always near you.

been dailying this ROM on my pixel 3, such a breath new life for otherwise obsolete phone (last official update was 2021) Yes the performance has degraded, but for basic task (phone, messages, browser, maps, even camera) it's still very useful. That's why long software support will always be welcomed.

@rythmater 2 месяца назад

You shouldn't expect any security. Especially since the Pixel 3 hasn't gotten a proper firmware update in years. Many aftermarket OSes, besides weakening the security model in some way, like Lineage requiring an unlocked bootloader, which disables verified boot. They also implement a lot of hacks to get the device functioning on an Android release it was never designed to run on to work around numerous regressions, some of which definitely cause security holes that the maintainer may not know about. Upgrading to a recently support device like the Pixel 8a should be a priority, if you want proper security.

@thosko98 2 месяца назад

@@rythmater Still better security than running the stock ROM to be fair. For an unlocked bootloader to matter the hacker needs physical access to the phone. I think Graphene OS allows relocking the bootloader once it's been installed, so if you go that route it's a nonissue.

LineageOS developer relations manager here - we accidentally put the light mode QS item in the changelog - I will go remove that! We opted not to bring it back this go around because when merging monthly patches, it massively conflicted each and every month, especially in the quarterly releases. It held up every months security bulletin, so we opted to not bring it forward - if someone wants to port the feature in a less intrusive manner somehow (if even possible) we are ore than willing to review it!

@Stricks823 4 месяца назад

@pirateluffy01 in case you have noticed they are taking baby steps to kill them or to be more precise for people to stop using them cos that way they can then say that they didn't, people just lost interest in them, every week they are coming up with something new to make it harder to use them, from the top of my head, they are blocking fingerprints (we need to always be changing then and this won't last forever, once they are all gone it's basically over), the devices were uncertified when ever a specific word was detected in a string of the kernel, and more recently rooted devices can't use RCS but this are only the ones that I can remember cos I am/was affected by them
