        Kind of surprised you haven't rolled your own AOSP + F-Droid and other goodies. Doesn't look that difficult.

        You may want to choose a model that has many users - they usually have fewer problems. https://stats.lineageos.org/

        I concur. Walking away from my house reboots the phone. Opening images in twitter crashes OpenGL ES almost every time. Enabling HDR mode in the camera crashes the camera. Seriously, why can't we have a nice, simple, stable, open phone OS?

        I have been running Lineage since Cyanogen was discontinued on a Samsung S4 mini and now a Samsung S5 and except for the GPS (which I don't like to use anyhow) it works fine. But I think that really is different for each individual phone.

        Ah, interesting. I couldn't find specific notes/limitations on their installation pages. Will take a look at your model to see if the GPS issues are documented. Perhaps there is a place that lists model-related issues? (I am thinking of the Samsung S9+)
