Rules

Do not ask for an ETA

Don't ask for the estimate time of arrival of builds for a device. Builds will come when ready. Don't ask about future plans, updates, developments, or news. We don't have crystal balls, schedules, or grand strategies that dictate when or if things will happen.

Do not ask whether your device will be supported

Whether a device will supported depends on whether a maintainer or a contributor has the device and intends to bring it up. Don't ask if builds for another device will work on your unsupported device. Don't ask where builds for a previously supported device are. Don't state that you're waiting for builds for an unsupported device. Don't ask if a supported device will be supported on a newer version. Don't ask for support on un-supported devices.

Do not beg for VoLTE

Not all devices with LTE are VoLTE-capable.

Do not post bug reports

We have a separate bug tracker. Please see the instructions on the wiki regarding how to report bugs correctly.

Don't ask for help with non-Lineage ROMs

This community is for LineageOS. If you have a problem with a non-LineageOS ROM, ask elsewhere. This also extends to asking for ROM suggestions.

Do not ask for features to be added

We are not accepting feature requests in this subreddit, on GitLab, or anywhere else at this time. If you have implemented a new feature we accept patches through Gerrit at http://review.lineageos.org

Don't ask about unsupported mods

We can't help with these things because we don't control them and we can't support devices with them installed because they modify the OS at a deep level and they may open security holes.

Don't link to or discuss unofficial builds or sites

Please don't post links to unofficial builds or unofficial news sources. If it's not lineageos.org -- it's not official.

I am currently running Graphene OS and I am very happy with it, but I am not so happy with my Pixel phone. I am wanting to switch hardware that Graphene does not support.

Would I be losing many privacy & security advantages by switching to Lineage?

Im not an expert and i dont know all the ways grapheneos protects its users. But grapheneos is designed from the bottom up to remove google play services. Specifically MicroG. Which is a huge source of data export from your phone.

Linage os is not designed for high grade privacy and security. Its Barebones android, its often used by developers to write code for android apps and such. Lineageos is often used on hardware that is becoming out dated and can have security bugs and other problems because developers dont want to spend time fixing things on platforms that in EOL.

Now go read for yourself. Your asking some very basic questions here you could find out on the grapheneos website.
