IT IS 1000% worthy to Install Lineage OS or any Custom ROM, but Google is ruining it by introducing stricter Play Integrity. May be if that level of Locking come to life Custom ROMs will be dead :(

Putting LineageOS on a OnePlus phone is so refreshing. It brings the software back to what made me love their phones initially.

I think people's reasons for installing custom ROMS have changed over the last fifteen years. We used to want the novelty of flashy (occasionally gaudy) special effects, bells & whistles. Today it is because we see our relationship with technology in a colder, more critical light and want less helt and more privacy.

It's not only that you can extend lifespan of your smartphone with flashing custom roms. Custom roms can often give you better performance, better battery life, ram management. I had Evolution X on my Poco F3. At some point I tried Xiaomi EU rom, and it was nowhere near close to the EvoX performance, especially in ram management area. I could easily have 10 tabs opened without refreshing the page while switching between, Xiaomi EU hardly held 3 tabs without eventually refreshing the page while switching from one to another.

Not to mention how custom rom saved my Galaxy S back in 2010-2011. That phone was unusable with the Touchwiz stock rom.

Smartphones have peaked. Aside from heavy gaming, they’re perfectly fine at pleasing all of the human senses. Do you need an 8k display on a screen that big? Would you notice? No. Will you eventually need to take videos in 24k that your human eyes are not capable of appreciating? No. The human ear only has such a range that it can hear sound, etc., etc., etc.

I've been running version 22 since the release week on a OnePlus 7 Pro used for gaming and emulation... Working beautifully so far. Amazing project!

I have installed it on my beloved Google Pixel 3A XL and it works really well, it has come back to life

LineageOS is great, it's a shame it's barely available for anything anymore. No Samsung, no Xiaomi, Google is basically the only brand thats available any more. I'm aware these manufactuers don't make it easy but man the good days are really over.

[xizoyap]

Flashed it on my OnePlus 8T. It has been a great experience, much better than oxygenos in my opinion

[rajvirsingh]

I purchased a pre owned Pixel 5, put lineage os on it and it is probably the best smart phone experience I have had, way better than my iPhone 15 which I can sell for 5x the price lol.

Custom ROMs are now only applicable to old devices, new low and mid range devices which are having up to 2 years of OS updates as most of the OEMs are providing 4+ years of OS updates for their flagship series. That being said, less and less OEMs are getting lenient enough to allow their devices to unlock the bootloader.

My Sony XA2 (Pioneer) stopped receiving updates after 9 which is too early for Android Auto. 21 worked fine 22 works even better.
I was there back in the CyanogenMod days helping to get Froyo on the Captivate (AT&T Galaxy S variant) so going with Lineage made sense to me.

[shibotto]

Just updated my FP3, works like a charm. I've never used a "stock" rom, like I've never used a "stock" OS on a PC.

[JotaFilip]

Just flashed LineageOS 22 into a OnePlus 6, looks great so far

[Arian-Mondal.]

Son of Cyanogen, they always pop out of nowhere!😂🎉😅

[TicTacBell_]

Flashed lineage os 18 on my fake iphone i got from china and the rom is a good one and is decent enough for basic gaming and loght streemline experience, twrp was required to flash it

[tinobino]

I put this on my Pixel 2 XL runs great

I daily drive a Poco F5 on it's stock ROM and have a secondary Poco F3 phone which i have flashed with LineageOS from 20.1 to 22.1, i do love the buttery light smoothness of the custom rom, the only drawback that i can't use it as my main daily driver is that nowadays most banking apps even telco apps lock us from using it on custom roms. I also have a slew of old phones like MI A1, MI A3 and Poco F1 still chugging along just fine being used by my nephew/nieces which i have flashed LineageOS too. I am really thankful for all these custom rom developers in giving a lifeline to all these old devices, hope it will go on until the future. 👍👍

[adotac]

I would really love to go back doing custom ROM if not for banking apps, I know there are some workarounds but its very volatile to maintain it.

Planned obsolescence is a thing in this economic system
