I’m so confused by this submission. It’s not a guide but a collection of notes from someone (in china) customizing a oneplus build. There’s some useful info there but only if you’re already at a point where you’re comfortable running your own compiled full vanilla builds. Go to https://wiki.lineageos.org https://wiki.lineageos.org if you want to install and/or compile for a phone.

I don't use lineage OS myself, but I thought the same as I read the first few sections of this article. This "guide", if anything will just confuse the less tech savvy users rather than help. wiki.lineageos.org has specific install instructions for every phone/device they support, I have no idea why you would choose to follow anything else. just as an example, for the Nintendo switch v2(devices built after the homebrew method was patched) can be found at: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/nx_tab/install/variant2/ https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/nx_tab/install/variant2/ There's an install guide for almost every android capable device for the last decade on the wiki!

Ironically, the Switch 2 page you linked on their wiki mentions a few different install methods and locations and goes on to say about one of those: > if you wish to install Android to the eMMC, you will need to consult external resources So it seems that there are indeed cases where you have to follow other things than the guides in the wiki, even for supported devices.

  None of the missing ones have proper, official, upstream LineageOS support. If you install LineageOS on these, you install somebody's own, personal fork of LineageOS. Which might be totally fine, of course. But because of the necessarily different signing keys alone, it's a (potentially) very different thing.

Seems like a typical blog post. Doesn't hurt to start with something like that, but they explicitly refuse to link to "official" site, stating it's garbage. Trash it all you want, but at least link to the trash so readers can judge for themselves, since the author is a self-proclaimed noob.
