@jd my phone breaks with android 10, it crashes if it has an active sim card so android 9 only for me
depends, really, there's no overall policy but plenty or most rom ports never upgraded to 11 period

@jd @MischievousTomato oh oneplus 7 pro is the last oneplus supported cause later versions have android 10 outta the box which doesn't play nice with twrp
the 5g variant isn't officially supported by lineage, period, unless you can find a unofficial port on xda

@MischievousTomato @jd i hardbricked two phones (returned one, fixed another which is now my daily driver) cause i didn't flash the magic zip which copies A boot firmware to B boot firmware, it's good for OTA but i never do OTA lol

@MischievousTomato @jd yeah the hardbrick is cause in twrp flashing system changes slots and it automatically boots into the other slot and in many phones only one slot has boot firmware and it /keeps trying/ to boot from that slot and doesn't try the other it's pretty fucking dumb and a pain, you need windows tools to detect qualcomm rescue thing, and the blackflash

@MischievousTomato @jd maybe i got unlucky, boot firmware apparently varies a lot in the same device.
