- fapjacks 10y agoIt all depends on what you've got on your phone now, but it made a huge difference for me. My battery life also went from something like 6 or 8 hours of use to twice that easily without changing my habits.
- Sir_Cmpwn 10y agoThe stock ROM is full of garbage. This is true of any phone. For a while I kept an image of my phone with the stock ROM in case I needed to restore it, which I had stripped down of most of the crap by rooting it and removing a bunch of stuff. There are well over 200 unnecessary packages installed that include spyware, bloatware, adware, and uselessware. The only explanation I have is planned obsolecense. LineageOS is as fast for me today as it was when I first installed it (back when it was still CM).
