Installed last week LineageOS for my old OnePlus 2 device, because I had nothing to-do and I am not using it anymore.
I always wanted to try LineageOS, but was too afraid to brick my phone.
Well, installation process is not super easy and it will take some time. Took me probably 1 hour to make it happen and I did one small mistake during install, so I had to do it again.
To keep it short, I just love it. It works super well. Here is my small list with best changes:
1. Instead of Android 6 I have now Android 9
2. Minimum amount of Google Apps. I have only Google, PlayStore and Maps. That's it.
3. I have black theme, meanwhile I still have to use EMUI 9 on my Huawei device with light theme, because EMUI 10 maybe will arrive in May.
4. It is faster and lighter than official Oxygen image from OnePlus
Do you still have old device? Check Lineage website, if they have support for your model and try it! For now I will use it as a backup phone.
