If memory serves, that's less of a Lineage problem and more of a Samsung problem; they tend to be hostile to user modification (locked bootloaders, etc.). Or at least, that was the case last time I looked at them.
- IntelMiner 3y agoShout out to LG as well for sending their final phone to E-waste in the same way The LG Velvet is the only "flagship specification" phone I could get in Australia with 5G, a MicroSD card slot and a headphone jack! 3 weeks later LG killed it citing the "other big unnamed Korean electronics giant taking all our market share" and then later promising "2 years of updates guys, we promise!" At least if we could unlock the fucking bootloader we could port Lineage or Graphene or something to it. But (at least on EU derived models like mine) that never happened Reluctantly on a Pixel 7 Pro now
- abawany 3y agoI agree - older Samsung devices used to work well with LOS thanks to the unlockable bootloader. My last Samsung with LOS was a Galaxy Note 3 - it seems that Samsung devices after that became increasingly unfriendly to modifications. I haven't purchased Samsung devices since because their stock firmware is unpleasant (forced bixby, coerced signup with Samsung in addition to Google, uninstallable garbage, etc.)
- aceazzameen 3y agoTrue! But an example is I have a perfectly good Samsung Note 8 that isn't being used. But Lineage only supports Note 9 and 10.
