Is there a list of supported hardware models in conventional (non-codename) format? I am eager to find a model which isn't going to be expensive/rare (like Google Pixel) nor obsolete (pre-LTE). This is rather hard with the old LineageOS versions HCLs.

In addition to the official wiki, or running queries on the yml data yourself (it's published under the lineage OS Github account), you can also check these two third party tools:

> it's published under the lineage OS Github account

What I found there was a list of model codenames like "redfin" rather than "Google Pixel 5". Now I've already found the list I wanted, however. Thank you anyway.

The list I meant is here:

https://github.com/LineageOS/lineage_wiki/tree/master/_data/...

It contains the full model name in the yml data.

Gives you filters for battery replacement difficulty and headphone jacks.

edit: add explanation

Thanks for linking to the site.

I just updated it to include the new version. It's called 19.1 in their wiki and I'll just copy that version number for now.

That's a really cool site! Any chance you could add an additional filter for microSD support?

I would also like to see this. I tried my hand at a patch, but not sure if it would work.

The functionality is merged :)

Thanks to both of you!

Thanks! Sure, if the data is already in the wiki that should be doable. Gonna have a look.

Thanks for building it.

All Xiaomi devices are unlockable and all Snapdragon devices should have no problem with custom ROMs.

But if you are from US you can have problems with LTE bands maybe.

My Mi9 has no official builds for LineageOS and my days of trusting random forum users for my daily driver ROMs are over. There are many Xiaomi devices that are compatible with LineageOS, but they're exactly not guaranteed to work just because their bootloader unlocks.

You could run a build of the new LineageOS official Generic System Images. That way you wouldn't be relying on random xda users, though some things might just not work properly with a GSI.

Here is newest Lineage for Mi9 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-12-cepheus-lineageos-...

not exactly sure how exactly are official Lineage builds more trustful than unofficial, since it's same random forum users developing all these builds whether official or unofficial

You could get a pixel 4 on ebay for $100-$250. It'll run lineageos, calyx and grapheneos.

Alternatively, you could look to see what resellers such as these people stock.
