I'm so fed up with my phone being slow and generally a pile of junk so I'm gonna back it up and flash #LineageOS. Probably shouldn't be doing this when I'm tired and should be sleeping but HERE WE ARE
@kii_chan
I had a very long night because of #lineageos issues. You should have time and one or more beer ;)
@_segfault It's going through the image backup process right now. Assuming that goes well then what could POSSIBLY go wrong???

@kii_chan
EVERYTHING! Believe me, it's not that rock solid.
It worked fine for my old HTC m8 with #lineageos14 but #lineageos15 is not that stable.

What phone do you have?

@_segfault I've got a S5 that gets broiling hot and slows down to the point where unlocking the screen can take >45 seconds at least once a day. It's easily the worst phone I've ever had, I just have to make it work until the Librem 5 releases.

@kii_chan
A friend of mine has the S5 mini. It's huge waist of time. I understand you.

But it's a older hardware, so it should work fine🤔

Please let me know if everything works well!

@_segfault I got it flashed onto my phone after I woke up and so far there have been no outstanding issues, aside from VLC not finding my music folders. But that's minor compared to what could have gone wrong...

@kii_chan
Cool 👍
I have some questions...

Is the performance and power consumption good?
How is the quality of the camera?

The camera of my HTC m8 was nearly unusable with lineages.

@_segfault performance is  , about 20x faster than stock. Battery life seems relatively unchanged. It probably got better but i didn't pay close attention to battery life before the switch. Camera was bad to begin with and seems completely unaffected by the new software
