Two months ago I bought an OP3T on Ebay specifically for LOS 16 and I am super happy with it.
Actually, I am running LOS for microG so I can still use apps like Uber, Moia or FreeNow.
OnePlus phones have been so far the best devices for LOS. OP phones are great by themselves. One reason why they have been so consistently supported by the LOS project is because the boot loader is unlocked with ease.
- as1mov 7y ago> Uber, Moia or FreeNow Does Uber work fine with microG? Last I tried the map rendering was messed up and I couldn't really use it.
- RussianCow 7y agoIt was broken for me for a couple weeks, but one of the recent updates (either LOS or Uber, not sure) fixed it and it works fine now.
- rv-de 7y agoIt works but it sometimes takes some fiddling or restarts with those kind of google depending apps until the intention is accomplished. So, I wouldn't recommend LOS to the average user. But most apps I use work perfectly fine.
- SECProto 7y ago> So, I wouldn't recommend LOS to the average user. LineageOS works fine with google apps, if you install OpenGApps. It all depends on why you're using LineageOS - if you're trying to use MicroG, you're probably trying to avoid google spying on you. On the other hand, if you have an older phone for which you want more features/security updates, OpenGApps works fine.
- as1mov 7y agoLOS with GApps flashed makes it work without any issues, it's just that some apps don't work if you replace GApps with microG.
- rv-de 7y agoI try to go as far without Google as I can. So I use microG. Generally, I am very happy with the experience and don't look back to my S7. It's my backup phone. For traveling I might resort to it to be on the safe side - also that's when I am most dependent on apps requiring GApps.
