You can include your phone specific model if you want.
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S23, switching from an iPhone 11, because I kinda fear that Apple might turn evil and start banning apps from the app store. I mean I knew about how restrictive iOS was but I kinda just justified it by the increased security that I perceived it to be. But recent events made me realize a corporation can turn from mildly annoying to full-on evil very quickly. With Android, I have the option of avoiding the Google Play Store if they start to do weird things with it. So that’s my story, what about you?
What is your plan for when the EOL for stock updates comes (around this august iirc)?
I think I might just flash LineageOS.
probably start shopping for a new phone. The battery is dying and I’m not sure if it’s worth repairing.
Does LineageOS not go EOL at the same time? I thought they followed the security update cycle
I’m an advocate for fixing if you can, the phone still feels as snappy as it used to and I really like it’s size and weight.
A new battery is as cheap as 7$ on AliExpress.
Actually I am not sure what determines EOL for custom ROMs… Maybe it has to do with the firmware not being updated by Google? Although I read somewhere it has something to do with the kernel version - which I’m not sure why you can’t update?
Maybe someone with more knowledge on the topic can enlighten me.
