Luckily it’s much better now. My 6a has a 5 year support cycle, so I’ll definitely get bored before the support ends. Also like you said, the 7 year support rumor too, which I think would be really good. Don’t think they should be supported longer then that.
I’ve been reading about LineageOS for my 4a. Looks like it comes with a lot of caveats, and certain Google Apps not working. As much as I hate it, I do actually need some of that, I’m kinda stuck on stock android for now. Probably gonna grab the 8 or 7a on Black Friday.
assuming it uses MicroG, yeah it still lacks a lot of compatibility. I am using GrapheneOS and it has sandboxed google play, which basically gaslights the google play services into thinking it has full device access, but limits it to just a regular app that can be installed/uninstall at will. It’s pretty cool and is like 99.9% compatibility with regular stuff which is cool.
