A small project to help out anyone trying to keep their old devices functional.
I wrote a script to scrape pages of some popular alternative OS projects (such as postmarketOS and LineageOS), and put them into a single list. I’ll try to automate and keep this up-to-date. Any additional OS suggestions and comments are welcome!
The problem with newer Samsung (post 2021 is update) is they don’t allow you to unlock the bootloader (at least for US phones). This pretty much squashes your ability to put a new OS on it.
I’m guessing Pixel is a nonstarter then 😁
Like everyone else said, pixels are the best phones for non stock OS. You can unlock them easy and they are quick to release security updates so the open source security nerds who made graphene OS (the best open source OS) love pixel phones.
Ironically Pixels are actually the best/easiest because you can easily unlock the bootloader and they have good custom ROM support
Actually, GrapheneOS works on new pixels!
