Using LineageOS

04 Dec 2018

Thoughts:

First and foremost, the daily builds are both annoying and extremely nice!

1. I really appreciate the knowledge that work is still being actively done on the operating system
    -Unfortunately, my knowledge here is mostly security theater without knowing what changes are in the updates I am installing
2. Simply on priciple, I like having root access on any device that I own!
3. The phone subjectively works better
    -Though, I have noticed lagging in similar places to before (like the maps app)
4. I really like having access to the recovery media!
    -I also like the openness of the update process! 

Conclusions:

I am strongly considering flashing the OS of my Pixel XL to LineageOS also! I would like to find the daily build logs for each release and what changes are in them! Finally, I am curious how updating between android versions will go and whether I need to manually do so or not.
