Reminder that only phones with official support for Lineage

>>60302029

Your phone is shit

I wish there was a privacy-respecting phone that I could just go out and buy. Instead of having to pick out something on the supported list, find out how to unlock the bootloader, probably with some vulnerability, install the OS myself, and then install it over again when I need to update it.

There's people selling Linux laptops, why's there no equivalent for phones?

>>60302291
Phones dont respect privacy, if you want private communication use pigeons.

>>60302291
How would a device which sole purpose is to track your location 24/7 be considered privacy-respecting even if the phone itself and all the code running on it is fully libre?

>>60302318
Assuming you use a VPN and a fake name to pay your bill, how can any of your mobile data be traced back to you? They won't be able to identify your device from your name, won't be able to identify your device from your traffic, and won't be able to listen in on you as long as your device is secure.

Too bad they went full Jew though, newer phones are already 50% more expensive but the good goys keep buying it.

Is there anything that Android phones can't do?

>>60302275
I just flashed this Moto G gen2 with it that I got for free. Feels pretty good.

>>60302548
>break home screen
This happened to me, due to what I can only imagine is an incomplete or corrupted download by the busted-ass updater app.
My solution was to download the image manually, verify the checksum, and flash it through TWRP myself.
I've done this for all subsequent updates, and haven't had the broken home screen since.

>>60302291

Because the phone ecosystem is much more locked down than the Desktop and laptop ecosystems. Things like the baseband firmware (the thing that talks to cell phone towers) is closed source even to the OS.

And yes - the baseband firmware has backdoors. iPhone is impacted less by those backdoors than Android phones as iPhones have a separate processor dedicated solely to the Baseband.

>>60302029
>Note 3 has support

>my galaxy s5 verizon has support

>but somehow my note 4 verizon doesn't

fucking end it bros, how hard is it for someone who doesn't have experience with these roms to port over lineageos to my note 4?

>>60303579
> Is there anything Android phones can't do?
yes, you can't use it as a guitar pedal for live performance because linux kernel has literally the worst audio latency ever.
iOS, on the other side, can do that and much more (it even has a DAW)

>>60303918
Why are you using that as a plus to shill iOS? This isn't /mu/, faggot.

>>60303918
The kernel's audio latency is not too bad, there are some low latency patches however to speed things up, it is usually the audio implementation (on desktop usually PulseAudio) which is utter garbage.

>>60302374

Because you're holding it right now. Every base station (stingrays too) you've connected to is recorded -- your phone even checks in with base stations when it is powered off.

>>60302029
But the only phones worth using aren't supported by Lineage OS

>>60304994
That is a paradox, you tryin' to blow up the internet?! What are you, a terrorist?!

>>60304702
Yes, but how can they know that your device is yours if there's no paper trail that leads back to your name, and no digital trail that leads back to your device? It's still broadcasting Anon A. Anonson's location and it's still downloading gibberish, but they have no idea whether Anon A Anonson has done anything to rate that kind of tracking.

It's available for a larger selection of devices than any other distro, by a huge margin. Anything that doesn't have CM/LOS support is generally going to be stuck with reskins of shitty broken stock ROMs with maybe a few kernel patches if you're lucky.

Baseband firmware collects your location from the towers and finds out where you spend most of your time. If you're a NEET, they've got your address; underage, they've got your address and school; productive member of society, your address and where you work.

>>60302082
Oh good to know I'm not alone, I should put that paperweight to use again by putting Lineage OS on it.

I've still got that phone on a stock ROM, never figured out how to unlock the bootloader or even root it.

I'm trying to make the switch to an LG G3 with crDroid, right now I'm carrying them both.

Redmi 3 users, why does google camera suck so much?

>>60307714
>never figured out how to unlock the bootloader or even root it.
It's very easy because Motorola provides an official way. You can always go back to the factory ROM too.

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/

then

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/falcon

I can only recommend it. Android 7.x runs very smoothly. No bugs that I know of.

>>60307764

I never liked doing it officially, I was hoping there was some other way. I guess I'll look into that then.

>>60307790
>I never liked doing it officially,
Why not? The only downside is it voids your warranty, which is long gone anyway.

>>60307801

Yeah, that's kinda why I didn't do it back in the day. Not sure if I should just make the move to this new phone or stick with the old one.

>>60303038
I have an LG G3 that's having the screen freezing issues, but i've fixed it temporarily. If it fucks up again, i'll just go up to the G4.

What's the proper way to back up all my apps before upgrading to lineage from CM13?

>>60305414
if you were to compare it to gnu,linux distros, it's sort of like;
aosp = debian
lineage/cyanogen = ubuntu

aosp being the base that everything is based on, and lineage/cyanogen being a more 'fleshed out' base, which many other things are based on

most distros besides those two are either aosp-based or lineage/cyanogen-based

>>60307884

You're right, I don't know how to flash bootloaders. Nobody here knows how to flash bootloaders. They just know how to read a guide written by a 15 year old scriptkiddie.

>>60310111
Installing custom recovery(which is required for custom ROMs) makes your phone virtually unbrickable you fucking moron. With stock your options are full flash of stock ROM(which also erases your data) or, if you're lucky and your phone at least somewhat respects your freedom, install custom recovery via fastboot while it's bricked.

>>60309821
Sounds bad anon. I don't know if I'd consider the LG G4 if I were in your situation, though. The notorious bootloop issue turns me away from it.

If you have root access, Titanium Backup. Backup via your recovery (Clockwork/TWRP) if you want to be extra safe. Good luck anon.

>>60312834
G2 and G3 had tricky bootloader bypass methods so he likely just did something wrong, but G4 is infamous for entering bootloop for no reason, maybe you did trigger that by LOS.

>>60312944
Yep. I don't even think I fully unlocked mine anyways. I had to use a TWRP image tuned entirely for the LG G3's trouble bootloader.

>>60313098

It'd also be nice if they could expand to some more chinese tier phones, since those are probably the most insecure. I also have one from blu, and it turns out those guys can't be trust for a second.

>>60314047
If you're implying single-threaded performance matters only in games you simply couldn't be more wrong. Majority of tasks is inherently serial - everything that depends on the result of previous step in fact.
>those have literally fuck-all to do with actual CPU progression
Opposite of truth. For better MT performance you add more cores, for better efficiency you reduce the tech process. For better single core performance you have to LITERALLY MAKE A NEW ARCHITECTURE.
