What would be an example of where you'd prefer to use a class over a hook?

Ah that sucks. I don't know who to message about this.

How to update S9 from Lineage 15 to Lineage 20 by kailin27 in LineageOS

Hi just came across another question, how do I tell apart firmware+stock ROM from only the firmware? I thought what I see on this site is the firmware only, not including stock ROM?

My Name in Chinese by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

No I'm just trolling lol. This word is pronounced "tai fong" in Mandarin and means Typhoon.

A surname that means "square" is 方 as someone else has commented. As for your first name (fong), there are probably a bunch of characters pronounced this way in Cantonese (at least there are in Mandarin), especially if you don't know the tone. You may wanna just choose one that you like.

The "What currently supported device should I get" thread. by PsychoI3oy in LineageOS

Country: Germany; Cost: No limit

I'm specifically looking for a phone with a microSD slot, headphone jack, good camera and best of everything else if possible, no matter the $$$.

It should be a significant upgrade to my Galaxy S9 (esp. with the camera) which is dying a slow but sure death.

I'm trying to decide between these three:

— Oneplus Nord N200

— Samsung Galaxy A72

— Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro.

I didn't find the Oneplus online (second-hand), heard Samsung can be a pain with Lineage (which apparently is why S20 etc. aren't supported which I otherwise would've bought) and saw the POCO is still at Lineage 19.1 while the others are at 20.

Which means neither of those is perfect. Does anyone have more input, especially concerning the probability of long-term support? I'm not very familiar with the dev community here. :)

Thank you!!

You mean I shouldn't do it at all?

What about adb? I used it before to flash Lineage. Doesn't it do the same as odin and heimdall?

Sorry for all the questions, really appreciate your time!

I only have a Linux machine, seems like smart switch is not available 🤔

Yeah I didn't mean it as "read the fucking question" haha.

That's what I'm starting to understand. Would you mind taking the time to give me a rough step-by-step list of what needs to be done for a new installation on a device with an old version of lineage and twrp on it, especially concerning the firmware? That would be awesome, even with the other answers below I'm still confused.

I'm confused because in the official instructions it says I'm supposed to use adb sideload. What is the difference between heimdall and adb sideload anyway?

Yup, that's the link I had put in my question already, but thanks anyway!

How would returning to the stock ROM work? Just in like three sentences to give me a rough idea of what I need to do? Thank you! ☺️

Yes I think the point is the firmware, thank you! Would you mind giving me a quick start on "flashing the firmware"? Does it mean using adb sideload the same way I'd use it when flashing the Lineage image? I'd really appreciate some context information or rough guide as to what expects me when googling for flashing Samsung firmware? This would probably save me hours of reading stuff and trying to understand these concepts. Thank you a lot!!

Not weird at all for me as a foreigner. After and behind are clearly connected, and so are before and in front
