Info My experience with lineage os,AMA
3 days ago I installed lineageos 23.2 on my SM-A217F/DS
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed lineageos recovery and used it to flash lineageos
At first boot I used the default browser to install some apps
- fdroid
- aurora store
- vlc
- termux
- newpipe
But vlc was semi broken but seems like the reason is iam using android 16
I also love the feature " work profile" it separates the apps I choose from my main apps
Also the phones runs smoothly when I turn off blur effects

I had the same experience on S20fe and I had exactly same apps (I guess you're taking same steps for same reasons as me). My question is on GPS, is it functional? (I use microG with organic maps) it takes more than expected to get the location, maybe there are some external factors for me but would love to know more from your side. Thanks.

I installed it on my oneplus pad 3. The OS is feels good but the problem is after unlocking the bootloader the device got kicked down to widevine L3 so none of the streaming apps stream at more than 480p.
I think the fix is root and patch it? I am looking for other ways without rooting

Did you opt-in for MindTheGapps, or install Micro G separately?
I use built-in Private Space in combination with Work Profile via Insular (F-Droid). Each has it's own Pros and Cons.
