Rules

Do not ask for an ETA

Don't ask for the estimate time of arrival of builds for a device. Builds will come when ready. Don't ask about future plans, updates, developments, or news. We don't have crystal balls, schedules, or grand strategies that dictate when or if things will happen.

Do not ask whether your device will be supported

Whether a device will supported depends on whether a maintainer or a contributor has the device and intends to bring it up. Don't ask if builds for another device will work on your unsupported device. Don't ask where builds for a previously supported device are. Don't state that you're waiting for builds for an unsupported device. Don't ask if a supported device will be supported on a newer version. Don't ask for support on un-supported devices.

Do not beg for VoLTE

Not all devices with LTE are VoLTE-capable.

Do not post bug reports

We have a separate bug tracker. Please see the instructions on the wiki regarding how to report bugs correctly.

Don't ask for help with non-Lineage ROMs

This community is for LineageOS. If you have a problem with a non-LineageOS ROM, ask elsewhere. This also extends to asking for ROM suggestions.

Do not ask for features to be added

We are not accepting feature requests in this subreddit, on GitLab, or anywhere else at this time. If you have implemented a new feature we accept patches through Gerrit at http://review.lineageos.org

Don't ask about unsupported mods

We can't help with these things because we don't control them and we can't support devices with them installed because they modify the OS at a deep level and they may open security holes.

Don't link to or discuss unofficial builds or sites

Please don't post links to unofficial builds or unofficial news sources. If it's not lineageos.org -- it's not official.

I am currently running Graphene OS and I am very happy with it, but I am not so happy with my Pixel phone. I am wanting to switch hardware that Graphene does not support.

Would I be losing many privacy & security advantages by switching to Lineage?

This is an old post but here are my two cents.

LineageOS supports much more devices. It's what I personally use. It's security very much outclassed by that of GrapheneOS. However, to be honest I don't care all that much. I'm not a journalist or targeted person. And I, personally, like to root and "pimp out" my device with kernel mods and the like. While all this CAN be done on GrapheneOS, it sort of defeats the purpose of having GrapheneOS. It's supposed to be a secure, locked-down fortress.

In short, if you want a super secure, de-Googled device, then GrapheneOS. But if you want a Googled device you can do a bit more with, and really make yours in every way, then LineageOS.

lineageos is NOT a Googled device.
