    It seems I’ll get this update, nice!

    Thanks a lot to the team and everyone involved.

    Also, fuck google.

      I buy the phone for the os these days. It does mean getting a used phone from back a few years.

      I think newer phones seem to make it harder maybe even impossible to unlock the bootloader. I use a sony xa2 (2018) and it’s only possible because sony still has a service to issue unlock codes for it. I think if sony turns that service off, then no more lineage os unless you already unlocked it.

      They haven’t released Android 16 QPR1 to AOSP yet, even though it came out on Pixels at the beginning of September. Normally the gap is ~1-2 days.

      So yeah, a lot of custom rom devs are pretty bleak right now and honestly their concerns are pretty warranted given that it’s Google we’re talking about.

      They’ve been working towards killing it for 10+ years.

      It does seem like we’re nearing the completion of their goals
