    They can pry my Galaxy S4 with removable battery and IR blaster out of my cold dead hands. (Thank you LineageOS, because Samsung dropped updates for it a decade ago.)

      You’re still getting Lineage updates for the S4?! That one maintainer keeping your phone alive:

        To be honest I’m surprised too… official builds are done, but there’s still unofficial ones floating around. I expected everyone to give up on this thing by now, but the last update was Nov 16th (https://updater.oddsolutions.us/devices/jflteatt/builds)

        I’m happy they are though. The phone may not be very powerful by today’s standards but it does what I need it to.

      I miss my Galaxy S4… I had a blast running CyanogenMod on it. Ended up replacing it after ~3 years because I dropped it in the ocean (it mostly worked after I opened the back and cleaned it, all except the network card). Such a great device!

      I’m really pissed that my current phone (S23) now has a locked bootloader because of the newest OneUI update. Damn it, Samsung.
