@rumo Sind LineageOS Installationen nicht immer nightlys? #SHIFTphone6mq #lgg5

Und was sind die Nachteile davon? 🤔

@wortezimmer Ich hatte letzte Woche die Entscheidung zu treffen: #shiftphone (6mq) oder #fairphone (4).
Für letzteres gibts #iode, ein Fork von LineageOS 😀

Es geht los! #upgrade #lineageos 18.1 #lgg5

🙏

Last night I received a refurb #lgg5 #android phone. My intent was to unlock the bootloader and flash #lineageos on it. Unbeknownst to me, #lg closed their developer service which gives out bootloader unlock codes on December 31 2021 🤬😡
Honestly, go die #lg I now basically have a brick. The android ecosystem is so broken. We had to rely on the willingness of manufacturers to install what we wanted on our phones.
I'm convinced a switch to the #pinephone is worth it, just to avoid this crap

Just upgrades my #lgg5 to #LineageOS18. I was a bit worried stuff might break with the new scoped storage, but everything seems to work OK. Basically seems apps have their own private storage now. Breaks tools that report disk usage, which is a minor annoyance.

But the biggest issue for me is the gallery app loosing an overview of all the pictures on the phone. This really sucks. I often look through the timeline for a particular picture, or all the pictures from a messaging app.
