I can't find information about this except in a Reddit thread. Is it documented somewhere?
LineageOS Statistics
101–110 of 121 posts
Re: LineageOS Statistics
#102It's quite sad to see these stats. It used to be the defacto standard for custom ROMs. These dwindling numbers make me think either people aren't as interested in custom ROMs anymore and using the (bloated/Google) factory ROMs or maybe there's some new standard. Didn't these numbers used to be much, much higher in the past? NB: Since I'm on GrapheneOS now I haven't looked back
a significant contribution is due to android companies not allowing bootloader to be unlocked and then not providing kernel sources, making any development very hard, and many times impossible.

#103Interesting to see 1 os install per country of millions of people (EG: last entry, 161 installs: 160 in Argentina, 1 in the UK)

> NB: Since I'm on GrapheneOS now I haven't looked back Not to suggest GrapheneOS has become the new "standard" given it currently only supports Pixels, but I hear a lot more about GrapheneOS as the custom Android build than LineageOS, so I wonder if a lot of people have moved there from LineageOS. The other reason for a decline in custom ROMs may just be that apps are becoming more and more locked down. Banking apps…
About 250k devices were getting GrapheneOS security updates two years ago[1], so it is approaching the number of official (and opt-in reported) installs of LineageOS.

While I'm not looking to turn this into an off-platform meta discussion, pretty much all of those rules have their very good reasons to be there. As an example…
Time flies :)
You are correct, the microG ban is gone from the sidebar. That's nice.
(Why this was so important: During covid the official contact tracker in Germany needed microG/the play services, a newer alternative then bundled the scanner or something, so worked without. But that took time and was less official. When it becomes life and death impractical positions like that hurt).
It's okay if you dont want to discuss it. To share my position anyway: You need the option to have root so the device belongs you (and not the Rom), VoLTE is an existential threat and the ban stiffles all options to easily get information about the situation. That's the main point: Banning topics completely does only make things worse, and it is not like the project tried not to ban these topics for how many years now, a decade? An Autobot answer should suffice for making the problems known.
Re: LineageOS Statistics
#106Wow LineageOS really is a bazaar, and not a cathedral. * 74% of installs are unofficial builds, not ones released by LineageOS. * 2/3 of US installs are on non-phones (waydroid, nintendo switch, rpi, etc) * Most of the installs on actual phones are in China, Brazil and Vietnam * Less than 21% of installs are on versions that receive security updates, and less than 9% of installs are on the latest version (mostly beca…
> 74% of installs are unofficial builds, not ones released by LineageOS. Are these bot posting farms and click farms masquerading?
All of my installs I can think of are actually "unofficial builds", none of them are Smartphones.
There are e.g. LineageOS builds for Tablets and also Smarthome devices, like the Amazon Echo Show 5, Lenovo ThinkView Displays, etc.

Many people that use linux distros like postmarketos on ARM phones also have waydroid for running android apps.
Right, but that would still not be x86_64 except on very uncommon phones. Look at the stats: waydroid_x86_64 181015 waydroid_arm64 8718 waydroid_tv_x86_64 3200 waydroid_x86 1215 waydroid_arm64_only 914 waydroid_car_arm64_only 69 --- usa_total 337390
that mystery was quite easy to solve via Google.
Searching for "waydroid_x86_64 LineageOS 20.0" leads to a sourceforge page [0] of waydroid with LineageOS builds that have 70-80k downloads per month.
It seems to be popular to be installed on CachyOS, which in turn is the 2nd most popular distro to use Steam (after SteamOS itself), so my guess is that it's a popular setup for gaming...

To get to 2/3 of US installs, you have to sum all this stuff up including waydroid_arm64.
Are we seeing different stats? Clearly x86_64 is the vast majority of waydroid installs. waydroid_x86_64 181015 waydroid_arm64 8718 waydroid_tv_x86_64 3200 waydroid_x86 1215 waydroid_arm64_only 914 waydroid_car_arm64_only 69 --- usa_total 337390
Nobody was saying anything about x86_64 being the vast majority of Waydroid installs or not but you, so not sure what's your point. Read my first comment again.

The parent said "2/3 of US installs are on non-phones (waydroid, nintendo switch, rpi, etc)", you responded with "Some Waydroid installations are on phones". My response to you was about the vast majority of waydroid installs tracked here are highly unlikely to be on phones due to the CPU architecture.

#110Why so few in Canada compared to the U.S?
Maybe they're using GrapheneOS, which is based in Canada. Could also be they opt out of the count.
