= Introduction =

LineageOS is a Mobile OS based on Android AOSP ( Android Open Source Project) that allows you to
# Keep your old phone receiving updates once your Hardware Provider stops supporting your Phone
# Get Rid of all pre-installed Sony / Samsung / Google preinstalled app
# (optional) Re-Install only the bare minimum from google ( Play Store ). Then you can reinstall only what you need.

= Download and Install LineageOS =

The LineageOS Install Tutorial is well designed, so there is not need to add much, here are the main steps you need to perform

== Backup : Make sure there is nothing on your phone that you want to keep ==

Make sure that you don't have anything on your phone that you would like to keep ( Contacts / Photo / SMS / Whatsapp / ...). Personally, I don't need to retrieve anything, everything is backup on Nextcloud using [[Nextcloud_Leurent]] !
# '''(Contacts)''' Make sure your contacts are stored somewhere ( In [[Nextcloud_Leurent]] or https://contacts.google.com/ )
# '''(Photos)''' Make sure your photos are stored somewhere ( In [[Nextcloud_Leurent]] or https://photos.google.com/ or plug your phone to your Computer to backup Photos (DCIM folder) )
# '''(Whatsapp)''' Open the app, go in the backup menu and force a backup to the Cloud ( Or in [[Nextcloud_Leurent]] )
