Have I ever got a bigger paycheck I'd donate to them without hesitation. It's because of them (and formerly Cyanogenmod) I got to have my Xperia Z1 for 7+ years, and now this Xperia 1ii for 4 years, each of them were/are doing great because of it.

Hope they keep going strong.

Highly recommend the Samsung S5e Tablet with LineageOS. It’s an amazing tablet for comics and light reading. Hard to beat its high res AMOLED display, incredibly light weight, and decent enough specs (I haven’t personally seen slowdowns when using Lineage on a minimal install). Forgoing gapps gets you crazy standby time.

Couple things to note is it doesn’t have a headphone jack (it is legitimately that thin though) and you are required to use Windows to flash the device.

Thanks for the link! LineageOS has kept my 7-ish year old Moto X4 working like a champ for most of the time I've had it! As long as it keeps working, I have no intention of getting another phone.

To quote from somewhere else:

Just to emphasize this for anyone else who is reading this: Please do not feel obligated to donate.

Yes, it is greatly appreciated, since it keeps the lights on a little while longer and allows us to provide builds and host continued development. However, we regard donations as having no strings attached, and the same applies for using the builds that we provide.

We will be fine, at the very least for a while. Please think of yourself first.

After another garbage update from Samsung I'm confident I should give it a go. I used it on a OP2 before and it was pretty good, but I curious how much it's matured in 3-4 years

I still buy devices based on the likelihood that they will be supported by LineageOS. Good to see them continuing along.

Out of curiosity, what do you buy?

I had Xiaomi last and bought another one recently and they have made it pretty much impossible to unlock the bootloader.

Apparently limited number of unlocks at 12am Beijing time. I have tried a few times, read through all the complaints and the community forums, and Xiaomi can very kindly just fuck off.

It used to be really good value for money as the hardware is great. But without flashing it is terrible. Crypto spam ads in system apps and things like that. Am going to sell it again but part of me can't give it to anyone in good conscience.

VoLTE is a huge consideration for older devices, and it is best to avoid Samsung.

Pixels are the reference. Whatever you buy, verify VoLTE.
