In the world of smartphones, it is not uncommon for devices to stop receiving official updates after a few years. This often results in security gaps remaining and new apps no longer working. But the Android community has developed a solution with LineageOS that breathes new life into older smartphones. LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and is being further developed by a global community in order to provide older devices with the latest software.
The latest version, LineageOS 23, brings Android 16 to over 100 older devices. This version not only offers new features but also regular security updates. Users can look forward to improved performance and energy efficiency, which is particularly beneficial for older batteries. Additionally, Android 16 offers advanced privacy and permission controls that ensure apps must disclose exactly what data they collect.
LineageOS 23 makes it possible to equip smartphones that officially no longer receive updates with the latest Android version. This is particularly important for devices from manufacturers such as Samsung, Google and OnePlus, which often fall out of the update cycle. However, installing LineageOS requires some technical knowledge as it requires unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery environment. But the effort is worth it, as the system often runs more smoothly than the original manufacturer software.
For users who decide to install LineageOS, it is important to perform a full data backup in advance, as flashing deletes the internal memory. The compatibility of the device should also be checked in the LineageOS wiki. LineageOS offers a flexible and customizable solution that makes it possible to equip older smartphones with the latest security standards and new functions without having to forego comfort or security.
