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?

sorry I don’t have an answer to your question, but can I ask you why are you not happy with your pixel? I’m about to buy a new smartphone and I’m considering a pixel

thanks in advance!

There is a couple reasons, I am not a huge fan of the shape, meaning I would rather have a smaller screen, but thicker phone to allow for a bigger battery. Pixel 4 screen size was perfect in my opinion. There is also something about the square corners I don’t really like, can’t really put my finger on it, but again the Pixel 4 was great. I only upgraded because the battery was wearing out. Also with the 6a, not a great camera. Not any better than the 4. I would recommend trying Pixel 7 or waiting for the 8.

Lineage OS

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

  • Magisk modifies the boot image
  • MicroG requires signature spoofing
  • Substratum modifies frameworks
  • SuperSU is not a supported root access manager
  • Xposed breaks the Android APIs

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.
