I personally have been using lineage os for some time now and I am curious how many others use F-droid and lineage os like I do

I broke a data pin on my current phone so it only has the stock ROM with F-Droid.

My new phone is a Xiaomi that I don't use enough for Xiaomi to allow me to unlock the bootloader, so also stock ROM with F-Droid for that one until I actually start using it. Once I get the bootloader unlocked, I'll put Graphene OS on it.

Have you tried unlocking bootloader without OEM unlocking enabled? It works on some devices.

I fixed my previous comment.

Basicly you may be able to reboot into fastboot and unlock the bootloader without changing any settings in the os. It really just depends on the device.

You mean the way to unlock a Google Pixel, but without enabling OEM unlocking?

[–] possiblylinux127 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kind of. It varies by brand and device and I have no experience with your device. If you want lineage os its worth a shot

Where did you learn about this? Diid it work for you? If yes, what device are you using?

[–] possiblylinux127 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I couldn't get it to work but it turned out it was a defective device. It was a Motorola g52

So you don't know if it works? Where did you find this?
