What are the advantages of Lineage OS? Why should I try to find

it's much less shit than motorola's own rom desu (moto g4)

few problems (just a few apps that crash), root built-in, tons of customization like the main buttons and system status icons, updating is simple, cool features built-in like "pick up to stop ringing"

compare this to stock roms where you pay to have customization, the ability to backup and restore, and cool features like flipping upside down to donotdisturb *removed*.

Neat, many features, root access (which means system wide ad blocking without bg processes via hosts file), lightweight, etc.. If your phone has LOS 13 go ahead, if it's got only LOS14, which is currently Nightly only, there are some bugs which might put people off, also some missing features.

why should you make a thread on /g/ about this? Use your own judgement

>CM a perfectly good custom ROM
>CM does Cygn
>Cygn wants to sell intellectual property of hundrets if not thousand contributors
>Cygn gets contract
>Cygn violates contract by early termination because of "better offer"
>"Put a bullet in Google's head"
>Cygn goes down
>CM is owned by Cygn so it goes down as well
>"H-hey guys, we're back"

Why would anyone use that crap is beyond me.

this applies to literally everything in this world, ever. No large project will ever be free of shitty businessmen just looking to get rich without giving a fuck, etc

They should have taken the 1M$ offer by Google.

None but it's easier to just flash Lineage OS than compiling AOSP which requires binary blobs from your device manufacturer.

or you use the vendor repo in your roomservice.xml

but anon half the point of using a custom ROM these days is to kick Google off your phone

Google would have taken something from the enthusiast community. At least some influence to a degree.

Deleting gapps is trivial. The codebase is still based on AOSP, whatever ROM you choose.
