Love these guys work. Turning devices too old and slow into useful devices again.

Any recomendations for current spec phones that work with lineage?

OnePlus devices have been always recommended on their Reddit, but personally I've been using a Xiaomi Mi 8 for nearly 2 years with no issues.

Anything from OnePlus, they're consistently friendly with the custom rom scene.

Seconded. Thanks to these guys I'm still using an 8 year old phone as my daily driver. Galaxy S4. Only thing that went so far is the battery.

For some reason I can't find the 7T in their list for supported devices.

They are -- but now with caveats: https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/cv5mhw/oneplus_6...

I am using an unofficial build of LineageOS 14.1 on my 6 year old tablet (Mi PAD 1 'mocha'). After using it for over a month, the ROM is amazingly stable.

The earlier MiUi which the tablet shipped with (7.5.2 Android KitKat) had problems with memory management. For some reason, the 2GB RAM was partitioned into two parts, one for the OS and the other for the running apps. But LineageOS does not have this problem, and it is much quicker than when I bought it!

I use FDroid to install apps and am very satisfied with it. NewPipe is excellent and videos can easily play at 1080p 60fps when earlier, the tablet used to lag on 480p videos.

I have changed the governor to powersave and turned on doze mode. Amazingly, this 6 year old tablet can hold charge for over a week! Even when watching videos at 1080p, the device does not heat up.

More power to the LineageOS team and XDADevelopers!

EDIT: ROM version
