Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I’m posting anew for visibility.

    Unfortunately, not every android OS seems to haver his option.

        I’m stuck on android 9 unfortunately. I didn’t realize how far behind it was.

        Don’t remember exactly when I purchased this phone, but it was a while ago. It’s getting to the point where I need a new one, but everything kinda sucks at the moment.

          That’s a long way behind alright.

          LineageOS is probably worth checking for compatibility. I got an extra few years out of my last phone with it.

            I’ve considered it but got cold feet.

            I have an LG V30. Not sure how popular it is for Lineage should I need help troubleshooting, and not sure if the DAC AMP will still work.

            Also a too large amount of my digital life is in Google. Once I actually get away from it, it’ll be a lot easier to make the jump.

              Oh you can have all the google apps with Lineage and your phone is in the “fully supported” list. You just install the gapps package during the install process. I’m in the same boat as yourself - fully tied into the googlesphere so wasn’t prepared to jump without it.

              Not sure about your DAC AMP as tbh I don’t know anything about them but if you’re not sure you could do a backup, install Lineage with the google stuff, see if it works then revert if not. Total time I’d say would be 2 hours or so if you needed to revert (edit: plus reading time if this is your first time doing something like this).

                I’ll check it out soon. Just hard to commit to a change on my phone, if that makes sense? I’m kinda weird.

                  Ah yeah, totally makes sense. It’s set up the way you want it. Moving from Android 9 to 14 though is very nice for what it’s worth.

                  If you do decide to pull the trigger and need help feel free to hit me up.
