The community for the Lineage OS.

Rules

Do not ask for an ETA

Don't ask for the estimate time of arrival of builds for a device. Builds will come when ready. Don't ask about future plans, updates, developments, or news. We don't have crystal balls, schedules, or grand strategies that dictate when or if things will happen.

Do not ask whether your device will be supported

Whether a device will supported depends on whether a maintainer or a contributor has the device and intends to bring it up. Don't ask if builds for another device will work on your unsupported device. Don't ask where builds for a previously supported device are. Don't state that you're waiting for builds for an unsupported device. Don't ask if a supported device will be supported on a newer version. Don't ask for support on un-supported devices.

Do not beg for VoLTE

Not all devices with LTE are VoLTE-capable.

Do not post bug reports

We have a separate bug tracker. Please see the instructions on the wiki regarding how to report bugs correctly.

Don't ask for help with non-Lineage ROMs

This community is for LineageOS. If you have a problem with a non-LineageOS ROM, ask elsewhere. This also extends to asking for ROM suggestions.

Do not ask for features to be added

We are not accepting feature requests in this subreddit, on GitLab, or anywhere else at this time. If you have implemented a new feature we accept patches through Gerrit at http://review.lineageos.org

Don't ask about unsupported mods

We can't help with these things because we don't control them and we can't support devices with them installed because they modify the OS at a deep level and they may open security holes.

Don't link to or discuss unofficial builds or sites

Please don't post links to unofficial builds or unofficial news sources. If it's not lineageos.org -- it's not official.

I am currently running Graphene OS and I am very happy with it, but I am not so happy with my Pixel phone. I am wanting to switch hardware that Graphene does not support.

Would I be losing many privacy & security advantages by switching to Lineage?

I agree with all this and will add that, even though what GrapheneOS team is doing is very admirable, the very fact that LOS (and automatically Lineage4microg) runs on hundreds of devices, makes the latter way more useful to a LOT of people (meaning a lot less throwaway tech too), plus not tieing you down to a single hw vendor!

Heck, even an old enough Pixel phone that programmatically loses Graphene's support, is still almost garanteed support from LOS for many years

In my mind LOS is 95% of the way there, microg 97%, GOS 99%? As far as android goes, they're all great

This is why I kind of hate ARM. Amd, why on the laptop end, i have no inrention of awitching to ARM anytime soon. The inability of these SOCs to use a generic kernel is just infuriating.
