oh dope. I’m on graphene run, so I think that gives me 7 years, but 11 is impressive. any idea how long they plan on supporting it? also, is that your daily? I feel like a phone that old would be quite slow by now.
My daily is Pixel 7a with GrapheneOS. Galaxy S4 is my mom’s old old old phone. I have no idea how. On lineageos wiki it says that this device is not maintained anymore, but a month ago I got a system update. It’s on Linegae 18.
It’s no surprise, if the hardware can take it then why not? It should be the default. Maybe the current EU can tackle all this built-in obsolescence from Big Tech.
The real surprise is people devoting their free time in maintaining those communities, kudos to them. Eventually my current phone will get Lineage.
what kind of phone is getting updates that long?
Galaxy S4, (was) officially supported by LineageOS :)

You’d be surprised at what the custom ROM communities manage to achieve. The Galaxy S3 (not 23, I really mean S3) can run Android 11 or 12.
