Go to settings;

type "build number " in the search bar;

click on the build number until you're a dev.

Go into developer options;

Choose the maximum number of applications you want to have in background.

That's great !

R and T should have a different android base, so, It would be safer to wipe everything while upgrading.

They advert for a support between 8 and 10 years (at least 5 major version of Android, and security patches after that). I don't know their politic about the availability of the repair parts, but if it's for the same amount of time, I'll be happy.

I changed the battery and the usb port of my OP7 last year... the oneplus site didn't sell them anymore, I had to go on aliexpress to have both ... That's quite frustrating for a device that is 5 years old...

It has a confidentiality notation system based on exodus privacy. It makes it more visible than on the aurora store. It has the possibility to install app from fdroid, well, at least from the main repo as it is not possible to add more.

There is a high chance that they forked the aurora store, as, most (if not all) of their app are based on open source app. (but if so... why did they remove the option to uninstall app...).

Their app "maps" is just magic earth with an other name and icon.

edit : phrasing

I like /e/OS, but the app lounge bothers me a lot. There is no uninstall button and it is not possible to add Fdroid repos... So I have Fdroid installed in addition to it.

I do not see an added value as if I had the aurora store installed + Fdroid.

IMO, the best addition of e/OS compared to lineage is clearly the tracker /ad blocker app.

Which version and phone are you on ? I'm on "t" version on a Oneplus 7 et I have none of these issues.

I first installed the "s" version and got annoying bugs, then switched to the "t" one and everything was OK. I now all the version aren't available on every devices, I hope you can switch on a more stable one.

That's why Fairphone choose a QCM6490 for the fairphone 5. It's far from being the best, but it has longer term support than mainstream oriented SOC.

Since the SOC will probably be enough for most of users, it's not a bad option I guess.

There was once a legend about vehicle's size and ... Well...

This is exactly what I did on my OP7 (only 4 years old). A new battery, a new USB port and a new back (thank you OnePlus for the back in glass).

I installed another ROM... And the only drawback on that "brand new" phone is that the camera is slow and not as good than the stock one ( even with Gcam or others derivative).

Maybe they are not Linux users, maybe they are Microsoft employees trying to keep you on Windows by making Linux users look obnoxious.

Not all will run out of the box. Some require tweaks, some won't run as good as on windows. But many games will run day one nowadays .
