@cm0002 eh, does that mean I can't anymore tweak my Lumia? Fuck (yes I still have a Lumia, even many years after their death, it is still my best phone, android can't compete, an android, and I mean all of them, lags like hell on 2Gb RAM, the Lumia runs super smoothly with 1 Gb RAM)

android, and I mean all of them, lags like hell on 2Gb RAM

False. The key is the software you use. I use Lineage OS without Gapps, most apps from F-droid and my mid-range Samsung runs pretty smoothly with 2GB of RAM.

This. LineageOS on any device that supports it immediately improves said device x10.

I have an old as hell Galaxy tablet that had slowed down to a crawl after a few years. With LineageOS it's usable again.

@specterspectre @michael_palmer can you find an official custom ROM of LineageOS for Nokia X or Alcatel Pixi 4 (4")?

[–] specterspectre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ read on. Don't start any process on any device without reading all the info and steps.

@specterspectre eh, I'm not a developer, plus, tuto like this takes time that I hardly find

[–] bargo@mastodon.tn 1 points 2 days ago

@specterspectre plus, it doesn't have any of the phones I own

[–] bargo@mastodon.tn 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

@specterspectre @michael_palmer also Samsung Galaxy A70, however, it is critical that I don't leave it unusable since it's essential for my work

Unlikely, unless you tweak your Lumia that's plugged into a windows system remotely from a Linux system

[–] bargo@mastodon.tn 1 points 3 days ago

@cm0002 there's another way: using a VM

Can't you not run your android on 2gb of ram? 🙃 That's such a weird complaint to be honest, how often did you tweak your lumia before, anyway?
