What Mobile Operating System Do You Use?
Android 8.1 Moto G5s+ and Windows Phone Lumia 620 (Obsolote)
Samsung J7 2017
Nokia 7+, so Android it is.
I use my Motorola Moto G5s with the Pixelexperience Custom ROM.
funny : the survey is about mobile OS but people report their brand/model

I would love to see more linux DE-s on mobile. If Budgie would like to land on my phone somtime I would be nice. But I'm not a coder. I just use software so It's easy to say for me
For now Android 6.0.0. I would love to switch to Sailfish OS in short time but lack of android apps support on community version is sad and the fact, that the phone I plan to buy doesn't have a SFOS port yet.
iOS 10.x on ancient iPhone 5C. Before this it was iOS 7.x on iPhone 4. And before this it was iOS 6.x on iPhone 3GS.
If I am able to upgrade to something newer it could be to iOS 1X.x running on iPhone 7 Plus. I am not willing to pay such obscene money for newest latest models with such 'remarkable' features I don't need.
Hi! What devices are supporter by LineageOS? Say, can you wipe out Android and install it? I have a very old Android device I never used and would like to give it a try.
Thanks!

MMB Yeah sure you can wipe out the stock ROM and install LOS, but how easy it'll be depends on your phone, even though in general older phones are easier to hack.
Here you can find all the currently and officially supported devices: https://download.lineageos.org
livingsilver94 It seems to be an old Samsung I9001 Galaxy S Plus from 2011. Do you think is worth trying to install anything on it? Any of these OS not based on Android. Thanks
MMB Honestly no. I had a Samsung Galaxy S (your phone is just a pimped version of it) and I stopped using it because of how slow it had become. It's just too old nowadays. At any rate, LineageOS is based on Android.
Let's not hijack the thread though, this is not about smartphone support.
Out of curiosity I installed UbuntuTouch on my Nexus 5 thirty minutes ago. The installation was incredible easy using the ubports-installer from the snap store.
livingsilver94 I'll forget about doing anything with it. It'll remain as it is. Unused.

livingsilver94 Android kernel is based on the LTS linux kernel.
I miss BBOS 10, but back on Android after they killed it off.

Bought a Xperia X two years ago and installed Sailfish. Was quite happy with it, but two months ago i quit and put Lineage 16 on it. The problem was the compatibility with Android Apps (banking app, identification app for Belgian Gov. , etc..).
I am using a 'dumb' or a feature phone as I would like to call it! I mainly didn't get a smartphone as it is the only privacy-friendly alternative that is both inexpensive and practical. I also have no need for a smartphone. I can do most of my stuff on my laptop with Linux. Not to mention, it helps me to be more aware of my surroundings when I am out. You can never be too cautious!
also on a "not smart" phone (10-year-old Nokia) - yes I could get some newer smartphone and put Lineage or Postmarket on it or something, but then I'd have to deal with worse battery life and I probably wouldn't be able to use the usual "apps" anyway. there's absolutely no way I'm gonna walk around with a device that's spying on me :/
