Been using Lineage OS 20 aka with android 13 full not go edition for 2 months now , also rooted the phone with magisk and I must say I am very happy using it , it is much better and runs faster than stock rom/software which is in android 11 go edition which has outdated security. I flashed Lineage OS the moment I got the phone delivered to me , also kept on watching this video when the phone was being shipped to me : LINK 1

 to understand how to flash Lineage OS on this phone I prob watched this video for like 50 times ig then I was confident to do it . Now overall the Lineage OS is running stable however my battery was idle draining like 30 percent gone overnight when I was not even using the phone it was losing battery so because I had root access I installed a module called Frosty battery saver and it fixed the battery drain issue for me now 0% idle battery drain . LTE/4G with VoLTE works perfectly well in this rom and I was able to get RCS too with no google play services and playstore on this I used microG and aurora store honestly microG did not take up ram in the background unlike google play services and also I was able to log in to my google accounts and now every app dependent on google play services works normally so no problem there. Whatsapp and telegram work well too . Also there a active community currently developing a optimized custom rom with android 16 or 17 for this phone on telegram you can even ask for help if you are stuck during flashing process they helped me to : LINK 2  

Also you can use this xda thread for help to as they share the process in depth and also have solutions to many problems too : LINK 3

(Properly read all the pages of the thread with reference to the above YouTube video that's how I did it)

After installing the Lineage OS (LOS) GSI use this xda thread as they tell how to install android auto and increase performance and install microG (a open source replacement for googleplay services) for this phone apparently they somehow got android auto to work idk I have not tested it : LINK 4

Also after rooting and unlocking your bootloader in your phone some banking apps may or may not work, be aware even with root hiding modules some banking apps will still detect root make sure to watch videos on youtube how to hide root with magisk . So far all my banking apps work without detecting root on my phone.

ANOTHER NOTE : THE SECONDARY DISPLAY KINDA WORKS LETS JUST SAY NOT AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL ROM, THERE IS A APP ON GITHUB FOR THE SECOND DISPLAY MAINLY FOR CUSTOM ROMS YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE YT VIDEO I LINKED DOWN TO SEE HOW TO DOWNLOAD IT (LINK 1 FOR THE YT VID)

FLASHING ROMS CAN SOMETIMES BRICK YOUR PHONE PLEASE BE AWARE AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE PROCESS AND UNDERSTAND EACH STEP IF CONFIDENT PROCEED AND FOLLOW THE STEPS I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR DEVICE GETS BRICKED .

Feel free to ask questions and all links in my comment

Like the artist image not coming for songs having more than one artist . I am using version 8.3.1.p.022322_1026 , Just want to confirm before buying the app. Songs with one artist get the artist image on this version.

Hi everyone!

After the response to my previous NostalgicFlow post, I’ve started preparing the Android version, and I’m looking for at least 12 people to help me test it.

Google requires a 14-day closed testing period, so I need testers who can install the app, use it during those two weeks and let me know if they encounter any problems.

You’ll be able to add as much local music as you want, including Lossless and Hi-Res files, listen to internet radio and podcasts, use the MilkDrop-style visualizers, and connect to remote servers such as Navidrome, Jellyfin, Plex and Emby.

Everyone who actively helps me complete the 14-day testing period will receive the Android app for free when it launches.

Sign up for the Android beta:

The iOS version is already finished and will launch first. I’m currently just waiting for Apple’s approval before it goes live on the App Store.

You can already try it for free on iPhone or iPad through TestFlight. The iOS version also supports Apple Music:
