Thank you for sharing your expertise. It seems to be unbelievable that none of this has become part of AOSP. I should have a battery setting that optimizes either for battery longevity, or for maximum power delivery. These settings should i

The Wells Fargo app runs on my Oneplus 5/Lineage. It is not rooted (with Magisk), but root adb is offered in developer settings. Cisco Duo also runs on this device. This will be a decision for the app vendor, but I'd rather get mo

LineageOS devices are subject to desupport at any time, when the maintainer(s) makes the decision to retire it (and no volunteers appear to replace the maintainer). With the sunset of 3g, many devices that were not capable of 4g were retire

The new battery behavior is probably just some POSIX userspace process running under Linux, or perhaps some kernel tweak. The whole of userspace will be replaced when LineageOS reformats all of the partitions. It is possible that the new ba

I've loaded Cyanogenmod on the HTC Incredible 1 & 2, and the BN Nook color. I've loaded Lineage on the Nexus 6, Oneplus 3a & 5 & Nord N200, the original Pixel, and the Pixel 3a XL. Pixels are the most forgiving, and th

Installing Lineage by itself will drastically reduce power consumption on many devices, as vendor bloat is wiped. A net gain is possible, even with ACC 80% in place. With a Pixel, there is less bloat, so it is less of a factor with this par

Just be careful that you do not get anything sold by Verizon, as these unfortunates do not allow bootloader unlocking. I also remember some rumor that all Pixels must access WiFi before they will allow bootloader unlocking in the developer

Just curious, does current LineageOS close these CVEs? I know they pull firmware from disparate devices when possible.

Unless your Pixel 4a is from Verizon (locked), keep it. Unlock the bootloader, then install LineageOS, MindTheGapps, and Magisk. Once you have Magisk stabilized, install the Advanced Charging Controller, and configure it to halt charging at
