That actually sounds awesome! Refurbishing old laptops with Android would be a nice choice alongside with Desktop Linux.

I was secretly hoping they'd stop supporting the Pixel 4a so I would have a reason to get a new phone, but no, still there in the list of supported devices. So I guess I'll just keep using that thing another year... Anyway: big thanks to the Lineage maintainers, keeping so many phones from landfill!

Why are you guys skipping Mi 8 SE? while still supporting older versions than that :thinking_face: Just trying to understand the reasoning for it.

I love LineageOS. I have been using Lineage and previously Cyanogen for many years. This is how Android is meant to be.

I am happy with my Poco F3 with lineageos. Also converted my moms phone, and works better for sure than that chinese crap bloat

When I had kids I noticed that the camera quality was quite bad (e.g. on Samsung Galaxy S5 or S7), so I basically switched back to stock.

Is this still the case? My guess is that Lineage doesn't get the drivers necessary for better quality maybe.

Cool; See if this is the time I try using a cuttlefish target + webrtc remoting to drive all those cute privacy intruding apps.

the only thing keeping me from jumping from GrapheneOS is contact and storage scopes. :(

Absolutely love this project for keeping my OnePlus 6T alive.

Such sad state of affairs for Android. They dropped the ball on making any working edge deep learning inference framework. iOS is way better at this of all things. For being an OSS platform the amount of rigidity in not letting users customize to the fullest without rooting is just tragic.
