If you're looking to buy a LineageOS-compatible phone and are unsure which model(s) to consider, I try to generate an automated buying recommendation (updated daily) from LineageOS's wiki data, available here: https://johannes.truschnigg.info/tmp/lineageos_device_toplis... The ranking is an expression of my personal preference - with a recently-released phone, it's more likely to receive firmware- and driver-level fi…

Has anyone else ceased rooting their phone? It has begun to seem like an unnecessary risk, with the appearance of Android policies necessitating VPN Hotspot make manipulations to nftables, ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.mygod.vpnho... ), trusting Magisk, going without Clockwork Mod on many platforms, eschewing security updates. What benefits are you guys reaping from taking root, these days?
I don't think it's been mentioned, but automation tools like Automagic[1] are invaluable, and need root. [1] https://automagic4android.com/ Just noticed it's no longer maintained. One can use the more popular Tasker. Shame, though - Automagic could do everything Tasker did and was much easier to use. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch....
I think the AM4A developer just decided to give up fighting with Google's constant locking down features and functionality.
To extend its life and usefulness I've began integrating B4A (b4x.com) with AM4A. I can call one from the other and xfer data between them using intents.

I had a Chromebook a few years ago and at that time one could run Android apps on it, is that no longer the case?
Right, I'm sorry if I wasn't clear --- when I said "run in Chrome" I meant "in the Chrome browser regardless of OS, e.g. in Linux" I want the kiddo to have not a Chromebook, but real Linux, e.g. Ubuntu. While the Android apps work fine, other things we do (e.g. easily saving files, dealing with local network stuff like Java Minecraft play) do not.
I've wasted the best part of the past hour trying to find a phone that's supported and under 200€ in the online page of a nearby shop. Not sure about the reason, there are older and newer phones in both, but never at the same time :-(
A refurbished Pixel 4 will fit your budget and is still a great midrange phone

Is there a reason LineageOS doesn't support recent Pixel hardware? I was planning to buy a Pixel to run Lineage, but the newest supported Pixels (5/5a) only have a support window of 3 years instead of 5 years for Pixel 6/7. And Pixel 5 is already close to 3 years old. I don't want to switch now if in a year I'll get hit with EOL and have to buy new hardware and switch to another OS.
Lineage OS on a car? Sign me up!

- TitaniumBackup - ability to monitor battery consumption - some dpi evasion apps (they sometimes work where no vpn gets through) - packet capture - Macrodroid - view wifi passwords - edit gps.conf, wifi configs, add custom root certs, change default font, etc - ssl cert unpinner - call recording - install Youtube Vanced over original one - allow screenshots from any app - forbid quick tiles access from lock screen (…
TitaniumBackup still working fine for you? Last time I tried to restore apps on Lineage 18.1 recently in the last year most restored apps crashed until I wiped their data/cache in the settings. This basically makes Titanium a glorified app installer, mostly defeats the purpose.
