Shit, here we go again
So I installed Lineage OS 16 on my phone. No Gapps, microG instead. Tried to debloat as much as possible, without being too in the way.
BTW, the phone is Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017)
The ROM
-
Battery drain is like 2x/3x compared to stock ROM -
max volume on the speaker seems to be lower. Not that I use it much, but sometimes I put someone I talk to on the speaker while doing other shit
-
weird screen brightness scaling, seems like the last 20% controls like 80% of the brightness
-
The ROM build is third party, as there is no Android 9 official LOS build (maybe build myself later)
-
seems snappy -
no bloat (including Samsung and Google bloat) cept what I installed, more free space
-
ease of control of the device (as in what is turned on, what is installed)
All in all, wouldn’t recommend on my device.
The Apps
- Magisk - for root
- AdAway - now that I am rooted, I can ad block all I want
- AFWall+ - firewall on my phone? yes please!
- Simple Apps - File Manager, Gallery, Notes
- F-Droid - duh
- Yalp Store - to download proprietary shit from Play store (like bank and security app)
- Firefox - web
- Forecastie - weather (just trying out, based on OpenWeatherMap)
-
NewPipe - youtube that plays in the background
(recommended by @SesameStreetThug) - Open Camera
- OsmAnd+ - offline maps, instead of HERE WeGo that I used to use (free on F-Droid)
- QKSMS - sms (recommended by @SesameStreetThug)
- ProtonMail ( is actually proprietary
) - Telegram ( is actually garbage coz needs ur phone#)
- Gadgetbridge - fitness band/“smart” watch
- https://masterpassword.app/ - password manager
And a few more propriety I had to have.
The apps generally seems to be good, or at least good enough. As most of them are open-source I don’t complain at all.
Thoughts
I’ll roll with this for some time, even though the battery life is horrendous. I’ll try and use the OsmAnd+ maps and compare them with HERE WeGo. AFAIK both use OpenStreetMap data.
Resources
Most I took from this here video:
I also still remember some shit when I had custom ROMed my Galaxy S2 (RIP sweet price)
Pics or didn’t happen

I’m kinda stuck with Google… considering their my ISP. Concast is an absolute non-starter in my apartment. I would have to pay for a home run and that was the cause of all my ills. Nevermind the fact they are severely oversold in my area, something I tried to tell my boss when we moved into the new office which he ignored because they are great as his house… only to find out how horrendous they are. Other choice is AT&T DSL, best speed is 50meg… I guess that is down. Doesn’t give an upload speed. And is capped.

Read the rest of my post… other providers I have are non-starters. This doesn’t even include the fact I have had 5 9’s uptime this year with 1GB in both directions.
I was just joking.
Will install it and keep Waze while I test it.
