Ive wanted to try custom phone os’s but im not sure where to start, my phones are not supported from the few ive gathered over time also most of them are “trash” as some may say. So im wondering what phone to get and where from, also what mobile os do your prefer over other ones?
does this vary on multiple factors?
go to gsmarena and filter phones by chipset. select something like Snapdragon 845, a widely supported SoC that is at the cross-section of hella old i.e. cheap but also super capable; it’s doubtful you’ll ever need anything faster than that. then see which of the filtered models you can get for cheap. finally go over to lineageOS and see if it’s got current support.
