    I just install LineageOS. It doesn’t have any bloatware or Android modifications that the manufacturer added

        And I can immediately say goodbye to important apps I need.

        I’m so fracking tired of not being able to just use the OS 😞 want on my phone because apparently my phone isn’t mine.

            It seems to apply to all third party operating systems. I pretty much have to use stock or I can’t use my bank apps, can’t use my phone to prove I’m me when remote logging in to work

            I used to use cyanogen then lineage until security stuff made the phone too useless.

      That’s great if you have one of the handful of phones supported, but for the rest of us, not so much.

        I bought my current phone specifically because it was supported by LineageOS. Before that I used an unsupported Samsung phone, which was such a shitty experience that I made a promise to myself that my next phone has to have custom ROMs available

          Apart from the pixels, which current range of phones is supported?

              And how many are current? Apart from the pixels, there’s nothing available where I live unless you buy second-hand (which has issues of its own).
