In the early days, it had customized stability for many phones before Google Version of Android 1.6. Since then, the co-founder and core team of the team have reorganized the new LineageOS and continue to provide users with free third-party system support.
During the rapid upgrade of the Android system, some mobile phone versions have been gradually eliminated, and the official system update service cannot be enjoyed. Although the Lineage OS system looks no different from the native Android, compared to many domestic UIs, flashing into the Lineage OS system will bring faster response speed, and will also have a smaller RAM footprint.The main focus is simplicity and purity, which makes many old models rejuvenate.

Regardless of the CM mentioned in the previous article, or other such as , Lefrog, Deepin, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent, etc., they are basically in a state of stopping updating. Those systems that are still insisting on updating can be counted by one palm. This also reflects the software strength of these major domestic manufacturers from the side.
From the explosion of MIUI at that time, to the similarities and differences of various UIs, whether it is optimization or function, it can satisfy consumption well. It is estimated that those who used to like to refresh the machine are very few. Now Lineage believes that the quality of its projects is gradually inferior to the quantity, which puts stricter requirements on the system maintainers in the adaptation. Now Lineage is giving up support for many phones and tablets that have not been maintained for a long time.
Lineage officially announced that unless the maintainer regularly registers the project, it will no longer maintain the ROM of the corresponding model. Support, but fortunately, most of the currently abandoned models are old, and the impact on flashing fans is not too great.

Save the Lineage OS system zip package corresponding to the model on the official website to the download directory of the mobile phone to perform the flashing operation.
There are risks in flashing, so you need to be careful when you do it. Those who are eager to try flashing, must understand in advance that this is an unofficial third-party ROM system, but it is certainly not as stable as the official system. In addition, it is normal to have some bugs or functional limitations, and the development team is not an after-sales service. team. If you need to use this phone frequently, please think twice, but the benefits of flashing into the new Android OS are also obvious, and it may be another three years.
