I need a new phone for my girlfriend and I have a brand new Galaxy S6 in my parent's house, spare phone that was never used.
I don't have the exact model number but its a Claro PR phone and I've had relative good luck with installing custom software on their devices.
I just want Android 10 or 9, 8 if those are unavailable, and that it's easy to use after the installation since it will not be my personal device.
If there's a version with OTA updates that would be fantastic but it's a nice to have not a requirement.

Hello everyone my name is Ali and I am new to XDA. Hope this forum will help me to increase my Android knowledge.
My question is simple. Should I wait Android 8 to root my S7 or should I root my S7 now? Thanks in advance.
Hi. I am also new. In my opinion, rooting now or rooting later will depend on what you want to achieve. I rooted very recently coz I want to gain more control to my phone and I want to try the new roms available here. If you root later, then there is a possibility that the new rom (assuming that you would like to install a custom rom) will have some bugs. So it will take a couple of updates to stabilize it.
It's really your preference but Android P is much different than 7.0/7.1. It has support for multi-screen devices as well as foldable displays. Also it will have hidden control of signal strength show controlled by the carrier. Developers will eventually get in there but if you want to enjoy root I say root now. There's loads of stable stuff for 7.0, even Xposed is operational on 7.0 and 7.1.
I'm using stock S7 rom. (exynos) But i would like to root and put Lineage OS. Because i live pure android. Is Lineage OS 14.1 stable for daily use?

No, it has bugs. Only stock roms are good are good.
I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S8+ model SM-G955U (Snapdragon) on T-Mobile USA
- build number NRD90M.G955USQU1AQJ8
- service provider SW ver: SA0MC-SM-G955U_OYN_TMB_0187 98891 a315a30494859 TMB/TMB/TMB
- The phone is a USA version purchased directly from TMOUSA.
From the build number, I guess my bootloader is version 1, right?
What is the best method to flash TWRP recovery and then install a custom rom on my device?
There's a post here, but it mentions version 5 bootloaders. Will that method work for me? Is there a better method instead? I've been reading threads all day, but I'm more confused than when I started due to the different models of the S8+.
Is there a LineageOS v15 or AOKP 8.1 ROM for my device? I want a rooted ROM without GAPPS and I prefer a fully-featured ROM like AOKP. Any suggestions for me? (I want to move up from 7.1 and I prefer a stable ROM, so I thought Android 8.1 might be the best option.)
A little information first -
Original Device Configuration: One Plus 7 Pro Nebula Blue Purchased From T-Mobile - Stock Firmware
Current Device Config: Flashed To Oxygen OS International Version - 9.5.11 - Running With Root, Custom Kernel and TWRP
=======================================================================================================================
I was thinking about upgrading to Android 10 (International version), but I see that there are (were?) a lot of problems with that release. Is that still the case? and if not, what is the best method for me to follow if I want to wipe everything and start fresh on Android 10 (International version not TMobile)?Or is recommended to use one of the custom OxygenOS/Android 10 roms for bug fixes, stability and battery life improvements?
I've actually been running this phone stock with root and a custom kernel and have loved it to the point where I didnt feel the need for a custom rom, but I'm not opposed to it if it means a better Android 10 experiences VS whats available from OP.
Hello everyone!
I have searched high and low trying to find the answers to my questions regarding a phone I have, which is a ZTE Blade S6 Flex (P839T60), but marketed as a Turkcell T60.
Here is some pretext about the phone: My uncle gave me this phone in order to help me with my frequent trips between Turkey and the USA. The phone is essentially stuck with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. Rather than invest in a new phone, I wanted to see if I can upgrade the phone's OS to something like Lineage OS or an equivalent. The phone was unlocked already, which allowed me to root it, and install TWRP 3.20. But I have run into some confusion concerning the Blade S6.
I understand that there are a few versions of the ZTE Blade S6; the standard P839F30, the Flex P839T60 (Turkcell T60), and the Plus (what ever that number is). I had attempted to flash Lineage OS 14.1, 15.1, and 16, using the ZTE Blade S6 P839F30 files, but TWRP aborted the attempts each time due to the phone model mismatch (P839T60 vs the file's P839F30).
My questions are these: is the P839T60 (Flex) the exact same as the P839F30 (standard)? Am I able to flash Lineage OS meant for the P839F30 onto my P839T60? If not, are three any other OSes available for my P839T60? Or should I just invest in a world phone?
Any help and advice will be appreciated.

Hi, I have a LG X Power device model K220, its Stock ROM is Android 6.0.1 and since some important Apps for me no longer work for that version, I have been looking everywhere for modified ROMS from at least Android 8 or 9 onwards, but I do not get anything, I already checked the compatible devices for Lineage, Resurrection RMX, among others and nothing, if anyone has the knowledge of any modified ROM for LG K220 that is Android 8 or 9 onwards it would be of great help to me
